In the opening song of the 2015 CCTV Spring Festival Gala, such a funny scene appeared.
In the neat costumes and dance moves of the children, a little boy dressed in red and wearing a yellow scarf did square dance moves as if no one was around, causing the audience to laugh.
He is Zhang Junhao, and he is just 5 years old this year.
This is not the first time he has appeared on stage, as early as two years ago he "became famous in a dance".
In June 2013, Zhang Junhao, who was only 3 years old, participated in Shandong Satellite TV's "I Am a Big Star" program.
Zhang Junhao in the show looked expressionless and very wooden, but as soon as the music sounded, he would dance a square dance along with the music, and his movements were very smooth and standard.
The judges sighed that other people's children may not have been weaned when they are 3 years old, and Zhang Junhao can perform on stage.
In addition to dancing well in the square, Zhang Junhao also has another feature that made the judges laugh:
As long as the judges say no, he will immediately reflexively do push-ups, which is very interesting.
In the face of such a cute and talented child, how could the judges bear not to give a vote, just like that, Zhang Junhao walked into the finals step by step with his good dancing skills, and won the fourth place in the final with a mechanical dance in the finals.
After becoming famous, Zhang Junhao participated in the CCTV variety show "Brilliant Chinese Season 1" and performed with Da Zhang Wei. After that, he participated in the recording of the program "Happy Camp".
Because of his outstanding performances in these programs, Zhang Junhao was favored by the chief director of the Spring Festival Gala and was able to perform on stage in the Spring Festival Gala in 2015.
Zhang Junhao became famous at the age of 3 and went to the Spring Festival Gala at the age of 5, what kind of family can cultivate such a child? The result may be beyond everyone's imagination.
«——【Rookie of Square Dance·】——»
In 2010, Zhang Junhao was born in an ordinary family in Zibo, Shandong, with a father who was a businessman and a mother who was a housewife.
As the first boy in the family, he is naturally afraid of melting in his mouth, and he is afraid of breaking it in his hand, and his grandparents love this little grandson even more, and the family revolves around him.
Zhang Junhao's physique has not been very good since he was a child, colds and fevers are common, and children can't take medicine for snacks, so they inevitably have to take injections.
Every time he gets an injection, Zhang Junhao will cry heartbreakingly, which makes his family feel distressed.
When he was given an injection, Zhang Junhao reflexively wanted to cry, but at this moment, the mobile phone of an aunt next door suddenly rang, and he was suddenly attracted to attention, not noticing that he had just been injected.
Since discovering this characteristic of his grandson, every time Zhang Junhao cries, his grandmother will play music for him, at first he just reacts to the music, and then slowly begins to dance.
After Zhang Junhao learned to walk, he would often go out with his grandmother, and every time he slipped to the place where the aunt in the village danced the square dance, he would be attracted and quietly watch them dance.
After a few times, he was able to draw out the movements without landing, which surprised the dancing aunts, and the family was very pleased to see such a good dancing talent.
But soon after, the family was a little worried, because they found that Zhang Junhao not only danced when the music played, sometimes he would jump up at home at any time, sometimes the neighbors came to visit, saw Zhang Junhao, and casually said whether the child had ADHD, and her child would not be like this.
Zhang Junhao's parents also chuckled in their hearts, they quickly took the child to the hospital for examination, and the doctor said after the examination that the child did not have ADHD, but just liked music and dance, and the parents were relieved.
One day when Zhang Junhao was 3 years old, his parents took him out shopping, and they happened to meet the audition scene of "I Am a Big Star".
When the guest performs on stage, he jumps underneath the stage. A sharp-eyed staff noticed him and invited him to perform on stage, impressing the judges in the audience, and in this way, Zhang Junhao became a contestant.
«——【·Acting Career·】——»
After Zhang Junhao's stunning appearance in the Spring Festival Gala, many performing arts companies noticed him and invited him to come to their company as an artist.
Zhang Junhao's parents didn't want their son to enter the entertainment industry in the future, and wanted to refuse, but Zhang Junhao was very interested in acting.
After signing the contract, Zhang Junhao participated in the movie "Falling from the Sky", although it was only a small role, but his wonderful performance in the movie was unanimously affirmed by everyone.
However, being an actor is not as simple as Zhang Junhao imagined, especially every scene in the movie requires excellence.
In order to improve Zhang Junhao's acting skills, the company specially invited him to an acting teacher, and with the help of the teacher, Zhang Junhao's acting skills were rapidly improved.
Of course, while being an actor, Zhang Junhao also had to go to school, fortunately, the content of learning at that time was not difficult, even if he didn't go to school, his parents could tutor him.
In 2017, 7-year-old Zhang Junhao starred in the suspense film "Ten Tons of Assassin", and in the same year, he collaborated with Wang Xun in the comedy movie "Where Are You Running", and Zhang Junhao's wonderful performance in the movie made Zhang Junhao gain a lot of fans.
However, there are many rights and wrongs in places where there are many people, many people envy Zhang Junhao for being a child star, he became famous at such a young age and made millions, and many people also questioned Zhang Junhao's parents who relied on their son to win traffic to make money, and the child was just a money-making tool.
Seeing these remarks, Zhang Junhao's parents fell into deep thought, in the past few years, they have accompanied their children everywhere to film, perform, get up in the early morning to put on makeup, and sometimes the filming will not end until the early hours of the morning.
This kind of life is tiring for any adult, let alone a child.
And more importantly, Zhang Junhao mixes in the adult pile all day and misses the opportunity to get along with his peers at close range, so he has almost no friends of his age now, and he doesn't behave like a child.
Zhang Junhao came home during the holiday, and he didn't know who to find if he wanted to go out to play, so he had to silently watch other children play together, and his parents watched from the side, which was very distressing.
Therefore, they discussed with their son and wanted the child to return to the life of an ordinary child.
Although Zhang Junhao still likes acting, he also wants to meet more classmates and friends.
In 2019, after participating in the movie "Redemption of the Soul", Zhang Junhao quit the showbiz and returned to school.
After returning to school, at first, because of his star halo, everyone didn't accept him very much, but after a long time, everyone found that Zhang Junhao was not what he imagined, and he quickly got along with him.
Today's Zhang Junhao is a 14-year-old junior high school student, with good academic performance and good popularity in school.
Parents are also very happy to see their children live an ordinary and happy life, but whether the children are famous or not is their favorite baby.
Zhang Junhao's fame has brought fame and wealth to the family, but for a child, fame means losing a lot of childhood happiness, Zhang Junhao's parents can let the child return to the ordinary in time, reflecting their true love for the child, I wish Zhang Junhao can grow up safely and happily.
