Finally, the shining stars behind the scenes!
Chen Minghao, although the name may not be loud in your ears, once you see the character he interprets, you will immediately be attracted by his performance.
He used to be the charismatic Bull Demon King, and he was also the black boss "Harvey", and each character showed a different kind of charm because of his performance.
In "The Long Season", Ma Desheng, whom he portrayed with his heart, is deeply engraved in the hearts of the audience.

What is less known is that he is also the pinnacle of existence in another field.
is not familiar with fame and fortune, just for pure performance
Chen Minghao is a 1996 graduate of the Performance Department of the Central Academy of Drama. His path as an actor was not deliberately planned by himself, but came from a fortuitous choice.
In college, he didn't show any special talent, and his classmates around him had star faces like Qin Hailu, Hu Bing, and Zeng Li, but his appearance was very ordinary.
He is not the "Seven Golden Flowers" in the academy, nor has he become popular overnight like Liu Ye, but he gets along well with these dazzling stars.
At first sight, he was attracted to Zhang Tong in "Seven Golden Flowers". Slowly, the smart and beautiful Mei Ting attracted his attention, and the tacit cooperation between the two often made the teacher full of praise.
After Mei Ting left, he had a crush on the lively and lovely Hu Jing, but this unrequited love did not come to fruition.
He had to work silently to strengthen his foundation.
Chen Minghao once said that a successful role is not the integration of actors and roles, but the role has become the embodiment of an actor.
He has always insisted on passion and purity for acting.

In order to support his family, he accepted offers for some entertainment dramas.
His popularity has increased with "Magic Mobile" and "The Prequel of the Lotus Lantern", but his heart has always longed for the stage.
Immediately after the performance, he returned to the repertory theatre to work on a new work.
He co-planned, directed, and performed dramas with his friend Liu Xiaoye to make ends meet.
Beasts on stage

He decided to create an experimental drama with Liu Xiaoye "Opinions on the Life of Two Dogs" to explore the various possibilities of life.
After four years of preparation and five months of rehearsals, the play was finally released, causing a sensation in the drama industry, and the venue was sold out.
Chen Minghao has emerged in the drama industry and gradually cultivated his work.
On stage, he is always full of passion and strength.
When he interacts with the audience, he asks for items in a humorous way.
Once, one of the audience members even gave him a thousand yuan and invited the whole crew to dinner.
Chen Minghao was inspired. An old American who has watched a year's plays around the world called their plays one of the best in the world.
These encouragements propelled him forward.
Over the years, Chen Minghao has hardly been able to leave the stage of drama.
Even during the peak of film and television, he squeezed out time to return to repertory rehearsals.

For the sake of performance, selfless dedication
His success did not start from the beginning, his original intention was not fame and fortune, but his dedication to acting.
Chen Minghao said with a smile that film and television made him widely known, but the stage is the real performing art.
Over the past 15 years, he has gradually become a leading role from a supporting role, and his dream is to let more people see his charm on stage.
In 2018, he became one of his masterpieces because of his successful portrayal of "Wang Fatzi" in the TV series "Restart the Extreme Sea Listening to Thunder".
Although the drama contract and salary continue to rise, he has always adhered to his original intention.
Mei Ting strongly recommended him to participate in "Sound Immersion". The audience appreciated his acting skills.
But when Chen Minghao attended a class reunion, his electric car was in stark contrast to his classmates' luxury cars.
