Preface
For a long time, actors have been proud to be able to substitute for the role and be able to "enter the play".
But sometimes, it's not a good thing to get too deep into the play.
Today, let the editor take you to see the three actors who have been too deep in the play, and see what happened to them after they entered the play.
Leslie
In Hong Kong in 1956, a boy named Leslie Cheung was born.
However, in this big family, he did not feel the warmth he deserved.
The indifference of the family environment makes the little Leslie Cheung lack the nourishment of family love.
Leslie Cheung's father, Zhang Huohai, was a famous and legendary tailor who was extremely famous in Hong Kong.
Despite his successful career, Zhang Huohai's private life is quite complicated.
There are two aunts and wives in the family, so the emotional ties of the family are extremely fragile.
Leslie Cheung's relationship with his mother is also not good, and his mother's attitude towards him is cold.
In such a family background, Leslie Cheung's warmth comes from the maid "Sixth Sister" at home.
Growing up, Leslie Cheung longed for his mother's love.
He even bought a villa to live with his mother, but was eventually estranged from her.
Such an experience made Leslie Cheung's soul suffer a lot of blows.
When he was young, Leslie Cheung chose to study abroad, first completing secondary school in the UK and then being admitted to the University of Leeds to study textiles.
However, fate always seems to love to play jokes with him.
Just as his study abroad life was about to come to a successful end, he had to rush back to Hong Kong because of the news of his father's stroke, and he was unable to complete his studies.
In Hong Kong, Leslie Cheung formed a band with friends and began his career in the entertainment industry.
In the beginning, his life was not easy, and he worked many jobs, including selling shoes and pants.
At the same time, his family's clothing shop also declined due to the rise of the ready-to-wear industry, and the family's financial situation became precarious.
In the early days of the entertainment industry, Leslie Cheung experienced many setbacks.
He participated in a TV talent show and began to make a name for himself. However, his career was not all smooth sailing, and he was once forced to participate in the filming of erotic films.
These experiences left him with a devastating wound in his psyche.
In 1982, Leslie Cheung's life took a turn for the better.
He met Tang Hede, and the two established a deep relationship.
In 1984, with the popularity of "Monica", Leslie Cheung finally stood at the peak of his career.
However, what followed was a conflict between fans, and even pressure made him finally choose to quit the music industry and immigrate to Canada with Tang Hede, away from the pressure of the entertainment industry.
In Canada, Leslie Cheung's life has become laid-back, away from the distractions of Vanity Fair.
However, the good times did not last long, and the filming of "Farewell My Concubine" allowed him to return to the film and television industry.
In the film, Leslie Cheung went deep into the role, and the performance made him unable to extricate himself, which eventually led to depression
Chen Xiaoxu
In the golden history of Chinese TV dramas, there is a character that will always be fixed in the hearts of the audience - Lin Daiyu in "Dream of Red Mansions", played by Chen Xiaoxu, who was born in the Northeast.
Her life journey seems to have an indissoluble bond with the Lin Daiyu she plays.
Chen Xiaoxu's upbringing was full of artistic atmosphere: his father was the quintessential director of the Peking Opera Troupe, and his mother was a Peking Opera actress.
Growing up in such a literary family, Chen Xiaoxu naturally developed a strong interest in dance, especially ballet.
She was quite talented in ballet, but due to her father, she was unable to become a professional ballet dancer.
This change made her the focus of discussion among the neighbors, which exacerbated her inner anguish.
With the gradual introversion of his personality, Chen Xiaoxu found his spiritual sustenance - reading poetry.
Her love for poetry makes her character more and more similar to Lin Daiyu in "Dream of Red Mansions".
In 1983, this Northeast girl participated in the recruitment activities of the crew of "Dream of Red Mansions" and successfully won the role of Lin Daiyu.
In the crew, although Chen Xiaoxu is young, he shows a unique liveliness and naughtiness, and even helped his colleague Ouyang Fenqiang find the state of the role.
However, although she is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people as Lin Daiyu, this role has also become a shackle to her artistic career.
In married life, Chen Xiaoxu had a conflict with her first husband because of her sensitive personality similar to Lin Daiyu, and finally divorced.
The twist of life did not break her, but started another journey for her.
She transitioned into an advertising merchant and achieved significant success in the business world.
However, fate was not kind to her. She was diagnosed with breast cancer and chose to forgo treatment.
In 2007, the former TV star died of cancer at the age of 41.
During her lifetime, she turned to Buddhism, and her Dharma name was Miaozhen.
Chen Xiaoxu's death brought great grief to her father and husband, Hao Tong.
Her real life is closely intertwined with Lin Daiyu's role, and it seems that fate has long destined her to play this role.
Her life is not only the pursuit of personal dreams, but also a portrayal of the constant struggle between reality and role.
Chen Xiaoxu's story is not only an actor's life trajectory, but also a microcosm of an era.
Although her life was short, she left an indelible mark on the history of Chinese TV dramas.
Her image of Lin Daiyu is forever fixed in the hearts of the audience, and her real life story is also deeply admired.
Chen Xiaoxu, Lin Daiyu of an era, her story will be remembered by the world.
Six-year-old children
On Chinese TV screens, there is an image deeply rooted in the hearts of the people - the Monkey King in "Journey to the West", played by six young children.
Liu Xiaolingtong, formerly known as Zhang Jinlai, was born in 1959, and his life and artistic path are inseparable from the role of Monkey King.
Zhang Jinlai was born into a Peking Opera family, and his father Zhang Zongyi was the famous "Monkey King".
Although he was the youngest son in the family, Zhang Jinlai did not receive special favor from his father.
Originally, Zhang Zongyi planned to pass on his art to the second child Zhang Jinxing, nicknamed "Little Liulingtong".
Zhang Jinxing is gifted and is considered to be a natural "monkey king".
When he was 7 years old, his monkey performance was deeply loved by Premier Zhou.
However, the cruelty of fate caused Zhang Jinxing to suffer from leukemia at the age of 12 and die just 5 years later.
Due to the death of his brother, Zhang Jinlai was forced to accept his father's monkey opera inheritance.
At the decision of his father, Zhang Jinlai was named "Liu Xiaolingtong", which was similar to his brother's name, and took on the responsibility of the family art.
But unlike his brother, Zhang Jinlai did not have a significant talent for monkey performances, and his training was not enough to meet his father's expectations at first.
In order to prove himself, Zhang Jinlai began to improve his monkey opera skills by observing and imitating the movements of monkeys.
This tireless effort was eventually recognized by his father.
In the 1980s, Zhang Jinlai's fate changed dramatically due to his participation in the TV series "Journey to the West".
In the process of playing the Monkey King, director Yang Jie initially had doubts about his physique, but was eventually impressed by his performance.
After the broadcast of "Journey to the West", it quickly gained great popularity.
But what is surprising is that director Yang Jie once said that he did not want "Journey to the West" to be such a huge success.
Despite this, Liu Xiaolingtong became famous with the role of Monkey King and tried to transform, but the results were mediocre.
He began to rely on the image of Monkey King to get rich, including the release of an adapted version of "Journey to the West".
However, he encountered challenges in protecting the image of the Monkey King.
Liu Xiaolingtong once sued a company for misappropriating the image of the Monkey King, but ultimately lost the lawsuit.
His obsession with the image of the Monkey King reached the extreme, opposing the influence of foreign culture on his image.
The life of the six-year-old child is not only a legend of his personal artistic pursuit, but also a persistence in cultural inheritance.
His story is not only an actor's road to fame, but also a period of persistence and protection of traditional culture.
Growing up in an art family, experiencing the death of his elder brother, being forced to bear the burden of family art, and then becoming the famous Monkey King on the TV screen, the life of the six-year-old child is full of ups and downs and challenges.
His story is a profound tribute to traditional Chinese art and culture.
Liu Xiaolingtong, the name of the Monkey King, like the Monkey King he plays, has become an important symbol of Chinese culture and an indelible memory in the hearts of a generation.
In him, we see the fusion of tradition and modernity, and the persistence and love of an artist for his role.
