Deng Chao is rising step by step in the entertainment industry
In 2000, Deng Chao was still a sophomore, and he began to work in the film and television industry, and stepped into the door of acting by participating in the TV series "Fertile Soil Under the Yellow Sand".
Although the first performance did not make much splash, it can be seen that the young Deng Chao has shown acting talent beyond his peers. After graduating, he began to appear in a number of TV series that told historical stories, especially in interpreting the role of ancient emperors.
In "Young Son of Heaven" broadcast in 2002, Deng Chao's image of Kangxi's wise and intelligent teenager was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and won unanimous praise from the audience.
Immediately after that, in works such as "Young Kangxi", "Late Ming Dynasty", "No. 1 in the World", he perfectly interpreted the majesty and emotional delicacy of the ancient monarchs, and successfully established a personal brand of "emperor professional household".
It can be said that the interpretation of historical figures is a major killer feature of Deng Chao's acting skills.
In 2005, the modern urban emotional drama "Happiness Like Flowers" cooperated with actress Sun Li was on the air, and the wonderful performances and emotional lines of the two in the play successfully attracted the attention of a large number of audiences, which also became the first small peak of Deng Chao's career so far.
Two years later, Deng Chao joined the powerful Huayi Brothers at that time, and together with his fellow student Huang Xiaoming, he became a newcomer to the company's key building.
While becoming popular in the TV drama industry, Deng Chao's popularity and popularity are also rising steadily, and he has gradually grown from a well-known actor to a well-known star.
Although he also encountered the ups and downs of his career later, the success of this period undoubtedly laid the foundation for Deng Chao's subsequent development in the entertainment industry.
Deng Chao's career development encountered a bottleneck
After the brilliance, the development of the career will always encounter a plateau period and a bottleneck period. After the TV drama career reached its peak, Deng Chao gradually fell into the bottleneck of development.
In 2014, Deng Chao chose to join the popular outdoor competitive variety show "Running Brothers", and formed a "running men's team" with stars such as Chen He and Li Chen, showing his lively and humorous side.
This transformation was a success, Deng Chao stepped into the variety show industry, successfully realized the transformation from film and television dramas to variety shows, and also ushered in the second small peak of his career.
However, the good times did not last long, and the popularity of "Run, Brother" gradually faded. After that, Deng Chao chose to quit the show and instead devoted himself to the film industry, shooting and directing several comedy films.
But neither the box office nor word of mouth were satisfactory, and no breakthrough results were achieved. The new variety show "Wuha", which teamed up with his friends Chen He and Lu Han again, did not reproduce the high popularity of "Let's Run" that year.
Xiaosheng, who once dazzled the audience, seems to have gradually lost its former aura. Deng Chao was gradually labeled as an "outdated star", except for occasionally receiving some attention for his personal private life as a "model couple", and he has lost his past glory in his career.
In fact, many celebrities will encounter bottlenecks in the plateau period after the peak in their careers, which is also the only way to develop their careers. The key is how to rediscover the direction and scale the new heights.
For Deng Chao, the opportunity is on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala.
A Spring Festival Gala completely reversed the situation
In the Spring Festival Gala in 2022, Deng Chao appeared on the stage of the CCTV Spring Festival Gala as a star guest. This short stage performance completely reversed the decline of his career and brought Deng Chao back to the center of attention.
On the night of the performance, Deng Chao collaborated with singers Li Yuchun and Yi Yang Qianxi for a fast-paced singing and dancing performance. Deng Chao on the stage was full of energy, flexible and playful, energetic throughout the whole process, and his movements were so large that people's eyes couldn't keep up.
"Moving like a rabbit" became the audience's evaluation of Deng Chao's performance that night.
The natural performance style and bright smile attracted the audience's attention, and the audience went crazy on and off the stage. This performance instantly became popular on the Internet, and the stage effect was amazing.
The popularity of the Spring Festival Gala has become the strongest quality proof after Deng Chao's comeback. For a time, Deng Chao re-became the focus of public attention.
Facts have proved that the seemingly ordinary stage of the Spring Festival Gala has really become a key point for many artists to reverse. Prior to this, Deng Chao was already regarded as a bland and outdated star; But just the popular performance of the Spring Festival Gala directly pushed his popularity and popularity to a new peak again.
That night, all kinds of news praising Deng Chao's performance and positive energy on Weibo swiped the screen, and people remembered this powerful star who once shined on the screen. Deng Chao also once again proved that he has never been eliminated by the times, and his strength is still online.
However, he didn't know that this sensation would also lay hidden dangers for future developments. But for now, Deng Chao will enjoy the hard-won Spring Festival Gala effect first.
The side effects of the "Spring Festival Gala effect" began to appear
Deng Chao did set off his second wave of popularity through this Spring Festival Gala and successfully washed off the label of "outdated", which is a sign that his career has taken off again.
However, this sensation has gradually begun to show some unexpected negative "side effects", which has also become a new stumbling block on Deng Chao's next development path.
This Spring Festival Gala has made Deng Chao the focus of public attention again, but the public's attention seems to be focused on his stage performance. Deng Chao originally planned to use the popularity to promote his new film, but the audience showed little interest in his directorship and works.
Director Deng Chao's new movie was released during the Spring Festival. The competition for films in this schedule is very fierce, and many heavyweight new films have joined the battle. As a result, the film scheduling rate on the first day was very dismal.
Some viewers even persuaded Deng Chao not to choose to burn money and take risks during the Spring Festival, because he did not have enough confidence in his directorial strength.
In contrast to the film promotion, the audience is more interested in Deng Chao's stage performance at the Spring Festival Gala. People only remember him for his energetic action and humor on stage, but they are not interested in the work of his director.
Deng Chao hoped to bring the audience into the cinema through the popularity wave set off by the Spring Festival Gala, but the results achieved were far from what he expected.
On the other hand, this also reflects Deng Chao's excessive pursuit of development in many fields. He not only participated in TV series, but also served as a variety show guest, directed movies, participated in singing and dancing programs, and wanted to try everything.
As a result, the public's positioning of him is becoming more and more ambiguous, and it is unclear where he wants to focus on it.
The result of his desire to shine in multiple fields has instead caused confusion in the public's impression of him. This has also become a big problem for Deng Chao during the transition period between the old and new careers.
He needs to re-examine his position in order for his career to move forward.
Deng Chao reflects on how to break through the bottleneck
Faced with the current predicament, Deng Chao needs to seriously reflect on his positioning and make a plan to break through the bottleneck.
Perhaps the current strategy of excessive pursuit of multi-domain development needs to be adjusted. Deng Chao can try to focus his work on one field, first become better and stronger, and then slowly expand.
For example, he can choose to return to his career as a film and television actor, focusing on choosing works with quality and giving full play to his own charm, helping the audience re-understand his strength and value as an actor.
Or, he could consider going deep into comedy and continuing to use his comedic talent and sense of humor. Comedy is a relatively successful route for him, with a ready-made popularity base.
In addition, the investment risk of comedy movies is also relatively low, and it is easy to obtain returns. If there is a comedy movie with excellent quality and a bumper harvest at the word-of-mouth box office, it is also expected to drive Deng Chao's career peak again.
Of course, this requires him to maintain enough enthusiasm and keep learning Xi improving his comedy acting skills. Through persistent accumulation, Deng Chao can gain professional recognition in the field of comedy and become one of the leaders in this field.
More importantly, Deng Chao needs to realize that it is not enough to rely on celebrity popularity, and needs to be supported by high-quality works in order to gain a long-term foothold in this circle.
If the popularity cannot be transformed into high-quality products, it will eventually be abandoned by the times. Only by working hard to create truly excellent work can you gain lasting attention.
In addition, it is also important to make reasonable use of fan resources. You can interact more with fans and turn fan enthusiasm into support for your work. If fans become loyal viewers, they can continue to provide stable popularity support for Deng Chao.
In short, as long as Deng Chao can look at the current situation and find the right way to break through the bottleneck, he will definitely be able to reach new heights in the circle.
Conclusion
Although Deng Chao's acting career has encountered peaks and troughs from time to time, it can be seen that he is a talented, powerful and charismatic actor. On the development path since his debut, Deng Chao has shown solid acting skills, especially good at the role of monarchs in historical dramas, and has won the reputation of "emperor professional".
From TV dramas to variety shows and movies, Deng Chao also tried to jump out of the framework of an actor and extend his development to directors and producers. Although not every attempt was successful, it showed his innovative spirit and pioneering mentality, which is rare.
Even though he has encountered peaks and troughs in his career development, Deng Chao was not defeated by difficulties, but actively looked for opportunities to start again. The outstanding performance of the 2022 Spring Festival Gala is a proof of this.
I believe that a powerful actor, as long as he continues to hone his skills, will always advance to the peak again.
We will also continue to pay attention to Deng Chao, because he represents the typical growth trajectory of Mesozoic actors, and his story can bring positive energy to everyone. No matter whether his career can reach new heights, the "little emperor" who once shined in the film and television industry is always worth remembering and looking forward to.
Life will inevitably have ups and downs, but as long as you maintain your passion for acting and have the courage to face the facts, you will definitely find a way out.
