The various answers are very comprehensive, and I will not get the axe.
I want to make a hypothesis: if Yu Qian did not meet Guo Degang in another parallel world, what would be his situation?
Perhaps, Yu Qian will become a variety show coffee + movie coffee. Variety show coffee is easy to understand, Yu Qian can be on par with Zhao Baole, host some variety shows and gala or something, as for crosstalk, you can occasionally play tickets, anyway, Yu Qian does not pick a partner, tease strong he is also strong, tease paddling he also paddles.
As for the movie coffee, this can be said well.
The starting point of Yu Qian's debut is not low, the popular TV series "Seahorse Dance Hall", there was him in the first episode, and another episode also came out, there are many big names in this TV series, Yu Qian can show his face in it, which itself shows his connections in the Beijing circle.
24-year-old Xiao Xianrou Yu Qian, this is 1993.
In "The Story of the Editorial Office", 22-year-old police officer Yu Qian, this is 1991
There is an underrated TV series "The World's No. 1 Ugly", starring Xia Yu, Liang Guanhua and Hu Ke, Yu Qian played a very important role in it, Zhao Si in the drama class, this is 2001, 32-year-old Yu Qian.
Yu Qian in "Li Wei as an Official", 33 years old, this is 2002.
The above examples were all before 2004. In 2004, Yu Qiancai and Guo Degang became a regular partner, and before that, they had occasionally cooperated, that is, without Guo Degang, Yu Qian's film and television road could also go through.
There are more TV series, the ratings are good, naturally you have to get involved in movies, Yu Qian's acting skills can be regarded as a movie king, the last comedian who can act so well is still Feng Gong.
In 2013, "Blockbuster", Yu Qian was 44 years old, like an underworld boss.
In 2017, "Sewing Machine Band", Yu Qian, 48 years old, chased his rock dream with a five-star little white hat that paid tribute to Cui Jian.
In 2017, "Wolf Warrior 2", 48-year-old Yu Qian, although he was a supporting role, was nominated for "Best Supporting Actor" at the 34th Popular Film Hundred Flowers Awards.
In 2019, "Teacher is Good", 50-year-old Yu Qian, Macao Film Festival actor.
In addition, Yu Qian has other hobbies, vice president of the China Rock Association, and loves to play dogs.
Loves small animals and has a horse farm.
Also good at writing.
Of course, without Guo Degang, Yu Qian may not be as famous as he is now, and these money-burning hobbies may not be fully realized. However, in another parallel world without Guo Degang, Yu Qian should also find different fun.
In summary, the circle in which Yu Qian was born decided that he would not live an ordinary life, and would eventually have brilliant life opportunities.
