2009 should have been the bleakest year in Peng Yuyan's life.
This year, at the age of 27, he spent his time in a state of confusion, full of confusion and struggle. 7 years after his debut, he is still a tepid marginal person in the film and television industry, which is in strong contrast to the future he envisioned when he resolutely decided to give up the famous school brand and enter the entertainment industry.
Once upon a time, he also fantasized that he would one day become an Asian superstar, standing on the podium with a sunny smile; Once upon a time, he also fantasized that he would have a warm and comfortable love nest and spend the rest of his life with his beloved TA.
However, the reality is that not only did he have nothing, but he was also saddled with an astronomical amount of 50 million liquidated damages.
"Why can't I become popular? Is it because my conditions are not good enough? Or am I not doing enough?" He often asks himself. Facing his handsome and compelling self in the camera, he can't see the slightest possibility of becoming "that person".
At this time, his mother's words became the strength for him to stand up again. "Life is long, what you get now may not be everything, what you lose now, maybe you will get it again in the future.
This sentence reminds him that it is never too late to succeed, as long as he has enough courage and perseverance, fate will eventually favor those who chase their dreams.
After experiencing decadence, Peng Yuyan regained his confidence and was ready to regroup and start again!
If the adult Peng Yuyan gives people the impression of a "national husband" with a successful career and worry-free food and clothing, then his childhood is diametrically opposed to this impression.
He was born into an unhappy single-parent family, and his parents divorced when he was very young. "I have very little memory of my father. Peng Yuyan said.
The lack of fatherly love in a family undoubtedly brings irreparable damage to a child's growth.
What made this injury even worse was that he suffered from severe asthma since he was a child, and his mother had to be taken to the hospital every time he couldn't breathe. In the face of his illness, the doctor could not do anything, so he could only shake his head and say that the child was hopeless.
A child who should not have suffered these pains had to come close to death.
When he was 14 years old, in order to allow him to receive a better education, his mother reluctantly sent him to Canada to study. In a foreign country, the ridicule of classmates still accompanies the left and right.
"I eat so much every day, no wonder I get fat. Such words are undoubtedly the greatest harm to a child.
The single-parent family and childhood intertwined with illness have become the deepest wound in Peng Yuyan's heart. Many years later, when I recall this time, I still feel a faint pain in my heart.
The trough in 2009 could have allowed Peng Yuyan to quit the film and television industry and return to the life of ordinary people. However, the gears of fate are quietly changing.
At the age of 29, director Lin Yuxian approached Peng Yuyan and invited him to star in the sports movie "Roll Over! Ashin" as a gymnast. This drama requires the actor to complete many difficult actions, and all the actors dare not take the filming, which has become Peng Yuyan's opportunity.
Out of a desire for a career, he resolutely decided to take on this important responsibility.
In order to perfectly interpret this role, Peng Yuyan devoted himself to 8 months of physical training. Even the director couldn't stand the pain of the training schedule, but he was unmoved, repeating gymnastic movements with high intensity every day, and rubbing his hands against the equipment and bleeding.
He strictly controls his body fat content and trains his muscles to look like a professional athlete. In the end, he lived up to expectations and brought the role to life, successfully changing the trajectory of his career.
This challenge beyond the limit has become the transformation point of Peng Yuyan from a mediocre student to a powerful actor. In this adventure, he proved that hard work triumphs over fate.
If Peng Yuyan is a person who has the courage to challenge high difficulties and is aggressive in his career, then on the emotional road, he is cautious, timid and timid.
"I was scared to be like my dad. Peng Yuyan said. The pain of his parents' divorce was firmly imprinted on his heart, so that he did not dare to let go easily on the emotional road.
Except for the first love tidbits when he was young, Peng Yuyan, who appeared in front of the camera, has never made any relationship public.
In fact, the scandals between him and many popular actresses have long been known. For example, the suspected three-year love with Jolin Tsai, although the parties did not mention it, it seems to be tacit from all indications.
Behind the camera is actually not as glamorous as in front of the camera, and he is still struggling to explore the path of life that he chooses to move forward alone after a period of disappointment.
"I want to get my first girlfriend back the most. When asked what he wanted to retrieve the most, Peng Yuyan replied. Indeed, compared with all the frustrations that followed, first love is the most beautiful symbol of feelings, which is the memory of youth that gives you wholeheartedly.
From a painful teenager who is sick and a single parent, to a confused young man with a sluggish career, to a powerful actor who has successfully transformed, Peng Yuyan has proved in the past 20 years that a person can change his destiny through unremitting efforts and courage.
Whenever he looks back on the road he came from, he may be glad that he did not give up halfway, and was not crushed by that dark time; As he looks to the future, he may become clearer about what he wants.
He spent 7 years in the ups and downs of the entertainment industry, and another 14 years to achieve the title of "national husband". Although the failure on the emotional road made him still soft inside, his external achievements undoubtedly made him build a strong will.
Perhaps, the original choice was the most correct.
The light and shadow in front of the camera have been fixed as a part of history, but more importantly, he has overcome the jokes that fate has played on him, and he has also overcome the weakness and fear in his heart.
This has also become one of the sources of favorability towards him in the minds of the public.
