Before reading this article, I sincerely invite you to click "follow", listen to the story and taste the life of Baiwei, but also get a different sense of participation, thank you for your support!
Recently, Wang Yang has attracted attention again for participating in the youth campus drama "Secretly Can't Hide", and many people shouted "Bai Yueguang is back"!
You may be a little unfamiliar when it comes to Wang Yang, but when you mention "Tang Xiaomi", you may have an impression.
In "Spicy Female Soldier", Wang Yang was known for the role of "soup millet", and was mistaken by many people for Wang Yang really came out of the barracks.
But in fact, the other person in "Spicy Female Soldier" is earlier than Wang Yanghuo and more like someone who came out of the barracks than her.
She is Hou Mengsha, known as the "flower of the military".
She is Xia Lan in "I Am Special Forces";
is Tang Xinyi in "I Am the Blade of Special Forces";
is also Li Shuhan in "Police Flowers and Police Dogs".
You may have to wonder again, she has acted in so many famous dramas, why is it like "no such person" now?
From the moment of popularity to the "disappearance", what has Hou Mengsha experienced? What kind of story does she have?
The "flower of the military" has emerged
Unlike other actors, Hou Mengsha did not enter the show business at the beginning.
Hou Mengsha had excellent grades since childhood, and was later admitted to Nanjing University to study in the Department of Literature, Drama, Film and Television Arts.
After graduating from university, Hou Mengsha, who had initially shown her acting talent, did not choose to enter the entertainment industry.
In 2008, after successfully obtaining a master's degree, Hou Mengsha entered the front-line literary troupe of the Political Department of the Nanjing Military Region.
After entering the literary troupe, in addition to studying, Hou Mengsha was also often active on the drama stage of the literary troupe.
This performance experience laid a good foundation for Hou Mengsha's military performance after entering the entertainment industry.
Hou Mengsha's first drama was "Sniper Life and Death Line" directed by Liu Meng.
Although this is Hou Mengsha's first drama, with the experience gained in college and the literary troupe, she played the role of "Lin Donger" vividly.
As expected, Hou Mengsha's performance was loved by the audience.
With this drama, Hou Mengsha opened the door to enter the entertainment industry.
In 2010, Hou Mengsha's first heroine suspense thriller drama "Mask of Anger" was broadcast.
Immediately afterwards, Hou Mengsha cooperated with Liu Meng again and starred in "Special Operations Vanguard".
The broadcast of several dramas in a series gradually made the audience curious about this fledgling actor.
There are several hot dramas just entering the entertainment industry, and compared to other actors, Hou Mengsha is undoubtedly lucky.
But this does not mean that Hou Mengsha does not have strength.
On the contrary, it is precisely because Hou Mengsha has super strength, in 2011, Liu Meng invited her to cooperate in "I Am Special Forces" for the third time.
"I Am Special Forces" expresses the life of the army in a panoramic manner, and because of its novel form, the show became popular all over the country as soon as it was broadcast.
Hou Mengsha's title of "Flower of the Army" also came into being.
Eating the dividends of "I Am Special Forces", Liu Meng filmed the sequel to "I Am Special Forces" the next year - "I Am Special Forces".
In order to better film this drama, Liu Meng invited the "tough guy in the army" Wu Jing to play the male protagonist, and invited Hou Mengsha, who has cooperated many times, as the female protagonist.
This is Hou Mengsha's second real heroine drama.
In order to play this role well, Hou Mengsha and Wu Jing came to the special forces for 18 months of experience.
The attentive performance of the male and female protagonists interpreted this drama very successfully.
The first cooperation between "Tough Guy in the Army" and "Flower of the Army" has attracted a lot of attention, plus this drama has also specially added emotional dramas, and many people are also looking forward to the tender side of "Tough Guy" and "Military Flower".
"I Am the Blade of Special Forces" can be said to be "fire before broadcasting".
did not disappoint the audience, after the play was broadcast, Wu Jing and Hou Mengsha's superb acting skills brought the roles of "He Chenguang" and "Tang Xinyi" to life.
The serious life of the barracks and the feelings of the male and female protagonists "happy and wronged" are combined and unexpectedly liked by the audience.
The role of "Tang Xinyi" is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and since then, Hou Mengsha has truly sat on the title of "Flower of the Army".
The "flower of the military" is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people
Taking advantage of this popularity, Hou Mengsha immediately starred in dramas such as "Spicy Female Soldier" and "Special Forces Thunderbolt Fire".
With the broadcast of these dramas, Hou Mengsha received more and more military scripts.
But Hou Mengsha is a very smart actor, and she does not want to imprison herself in the "comfort zone" of this theme.
Hou Mengsha did not accept the invitation of military dramas, but chose to star in dramas with other themes.
In the spy war drama "Dances with Wolves", the suspense drama "Iron Walnut", and the historical drama "Floating Shuai", Hou Mengsha has amazing performances.
In "Dances with Wolves", Hou Mengsha plays the famous lady "Qiao Yan".
It seems to be a young lady who has returned from overseas and reveals the style of "princess disease" everywhere, but is actually a "double agent".
The separated character and identity become more vivid and three-dimensional through Hou Mengsha's performance.
In "Iron Walnut", Hou Mengsha's Wudu reporter "Zhuang Hui" has a spicy and righteous personality, and often scolds people without saying dirty words.
In "Gone with the Wind", Lu Lin played by Hou Mengsha is even more different from previous roles, and Lu Lin, known as the "model of a good wife", is deeply aware of righteousness and is willing to die for his lover to death.
In the now popular words, Hou Mengsha is a proper "drama throwing face".
In 2016, Hou Mengsha broke through herself and performed from "people" to "things".
In "Police Flowers and Police Dogs", Hou Mengsha portrayed the role of the goddess "Li Shuhan" deeply in the hearts of the people through delicate performances.
It is reported that in order to cooperate well with the police dog, Hou Mengsha also specially ran to the police dog training base to learn from the trainer.
This actor, who constantly surprises people, exploded for a while after the broadcast of "Police Flowers and Police Dogs", but quickly disappeared from the audience's field of vision.
Why is that?
The flower of military travel "disappeared"
The first reason is that after the explosion of the "I Am Special Forces" series, many similar military dramas have sprung up.
Gradually, the audience's aesthetic fatigue, military dramas are no longer novel, and the title of "military flower" is no longer unusual.
The second reason is the shift in audience preferences.
In 2017, with the broadcast of various "light comedies" such as "The Legend of Chu Qiao", "In the Name of the People", "Three Lives and Three Lives and Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms", and "Ode to Joy", the old-fashioned and serious military dramas gradually lost their market.
Because the image of "the flower of the military" is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, Hou Mengsha did not succeed in breaking the shackles and participating in other types of dramas.
From 17 years to the present, Hou Mengsha has only brought four works, and it is still a drama with a military theme.
The impact of these four dramas on her is no longer as explosive as the dramas she starred in before, but the response is mediocre.
But it is worth mentioning that in Hou Mengsha's latest work "Ace Force", Hou Mengsha's life has a turning point.
While filming "Ace Force" in 2020, Hou Mengsha met the person she was going to spend her life with.
This person is Mao Yi, different from Hou Mengsha, since his debut, Mao Yi has been in a tepid state, playing supporting roles in many dramas.
After the broadcast of "Thirty Only", Mao Yi entered the audience's field of vision.
When filming "Ace Force", because he had a lot of rivalry scenes with Hou Mengsha, the two often played against each other in private.
After a long time, Mao Yi found that this legendary "flower of the army" did not look indestructible like in the TV series, but had a lot of tenderness of a little woman.
Mao Yi became interested in Hou Mengsha, and a lot of sparks were rubbed between the two, and then "fell in love because of the play".
In fact, before meeting Mao Yi, many viewers mistakenly thought that Hou Mengsha had long been with one of Yu Hewei and Ren Kenuo.
Because in many military dramas, Hou Mengsha has played the role of a couple with these two "tough guys", and many fans are secretly looking forward to which "tough guy" this "military flower" will fall into.
After the broadcast of "Ace Force", Hou Mengsha returned to the audience's field of vision and increased her popularity a lot.
In order to break this rumor, Hou Mengsha did not seize this opportunity to participate in more dramas as before, but chose to make her relationship with Mao Yi public.
On March 18, 2021, Hou Mengsha and Mao Yi entered the marriage hall.
After getting married, Hou Mengsha gradually faded out of the entertainment industry and concentrated on taking care of her family.
"Military Flower" truly shows her tender side.
Although it is a pity that the audience can no longer see Hou Mengsha on the big screen, they also sincerely bless this marriage of "talented women".
And Mao Yi has also participated in many good dramas with the help of Hou Mengsha in recent years and played many popular roles.
Mao Yi's success is inseparable from the "virtuous help" behind him.
Now that Hou Mengsha is 38 years old, she and Mao Yi have been married for two years and are still as sweet as when they first fell in love.
epilogue
Due to her long-term participation in large-scale action dramas such as military dramas and spy war dramas, Hou Mengsha is clean and neat military uniforms or long clothes and trousers from morning to night.
But as long as she doesn't film, Hou Mengsha is like a changed person.
At the press conference, award ceremony, and red carpet, Hou Mengsha's every match was eye-catching.
Cheongsam, dresses, skirts and other skirts are matched in Hou Mengsha's opinion.
No wonder the actors who have worked with her say that Hou Mengsha is not a "female man" in the TV series in private, but a "goddess" that everyone loves.
Hou Mengsha herself quipped: "I look good without wearing a military uniform."
Now that Hou Mengsha is married, she wears military uniforms less and less, and she also has more rights in the family to choose what clothes to wear.
Although the audience regretted not being able to see Hou Mengsha's military uniform, they were also happy for Hou Mengsha's happiness.
According to the media, the second season of "Police Flowers and Police Dogs" is currently in full swing.
After two years, Hou Mengsha entered the entertainment industry again, hoping to see the "military flower" appear on the big screen again in the near future.
