In the summer of 2016, with the popular TV series "Ode to Joy", Yang Shuo experienced the taste of popularity. At that time, he was hot, and his popularity climbed like a rocket, and he became a glamorous male idol in the minds of the majority of TV fans.
Yang Shuo, who has a poor family but a young man with ambitions of thousands of miles, has won wide attention and expectations from the audience with his firm belief, and everyone is convinced that this young man who has worked hard at the bottom of the society for many years will become famous and forever recorded in history.
However, what makes people lose sight is that this former glory has not lasted. Only three years have passed, and Yang Shuo not only did not continue to rise in popularity, but his evaluation of him changed, leaving some bad impressions.
As if overnight, the star, who has attracted everyone's attention, has quietly faded from its dazzling light, and its popularity has decayed like a candle flame about to be extinguished.
One can't help but wonder what caused a young man who was once hailed as an outstanding genius to fall here? Let's step into Yang Shuo's legendary life and explore the factors that led to the ups and downs of his life.
Back in 1999, Yang Shuo, who was only 21 years old at the time, set off again on the road to the north with the 2,000 yuan his mother borrowed from relatives. He is full of spirit, full of enthusiasm and beautiful vision for the unknown future, which is completely different from the confusion and helplessness when he first went north.
However, that phone call on the way changed the course of his fate. A friend on the other end of the phone told him that there are unlimited business opportunities in Beijing today, and there are huge options for work.
After hearing these words, Yang Shuo was greatly encouraged and thought that his dream was right in front of him.
However, reality slapped him in the face. When he arrived in Beijing, he found himself in a difficult situation, unable to find his dream job, and had very little money left. What's more serious is that it is approaching the end of the year, and he is almost out of money for food.
Remembering that he promised his mother on the phone that he would cherish this repayment, Yang Shuo felt extremely guilty, but he was unwilling to bow his head to his family, so he could only survive by eating cold steamed buns every day.
In those days, the issue of food and clothing was always a top priority. When food became a luxury, survival became Yang Shuo's biggest challenge at that time. He struggled to survive on the brink of life and death, and in order to avoid starvation, he had to resort to a series of acts that violated his conscience.
One day, Yang Shuo was wandering the streets with hunger in his belly, when he suddenly found a bag of unbroken biscuits in an inconspicuous trash can and caught his attention! However, the deep struggle in his heart tore at him, and he couldn't help but worry, as a son who was once proud of his mother's eyes, would he discard his cherished dignity by picking up junk food? Or face the ridicule and contempt of others? Yang Shuo experienced a fierce inner struggle next to the trash can.
However, the instinct of life eventually triumphed over the scruples of the heart. Yang Shuo mustered up his courage, decisively picked up the bag of biscuits, and left quickly without hesitation.
When he returned to his humble abode, he immediately pulled out the bag of biscuits and devoured every bite of food like a hungry beast, ignoring the filth of the food, but firmly vowed: "I must live strongly, overcome the current predicament, and make my family proud of me!"
Perhaps it was this strong desire to survive that moved the favor of the god of fate. By chance in 2000, Yang Shuo was deeply noticed by Taiwanese singer Dai Rao. This young man, who was still immature but full of sorrow, made Dai Rao re-examine him and keenly perceive his talent and great potential to dream of becoming a great artist.
So, Dai Rao decided to sign a contract with him, carefully trained, and even encouraged him to improve his education.
Yang Shuo obeyed the teacher's teachings and decided to return to his hometown and study hard behind closed doors. Days like this were repeated day after day, and only firm faith and fearless pursuit led him forward.
In the end, with unremitting efforts, he got his wish and was admitted to the Central Academy of Drama.
However, the road to success is not always smooth. In 2006, Yang Shuo successfully graduated from the Central Academy of Drama and truly embarked on the road of acting. Under the careful construction of the agency, he has become a sunny, handsome and charismatic idol star.
However, from the beginning, Yang Shuo was not as brilliant as people expected, and for a long time, he was always distressed by the lack of performance opportunities, and his career seemed to be in a bottleneck.
That time was difficult for Yang Shuo. Not only did he encounter setbacks in his career, but the long-term drift of his once beloved girlfriend also brought him a painful blow.
What is even more distressing is that the family frequently asks him for help, but he is unable to repay this meager family affection because of financial difficulties.
For him, all the pressure became so heavy that he had suicidal thoughts several times.
Thankfully, after suffering all kinds of setbacks, Yang Shuo was never overwhelmed, but firmly chose to grit his teeth and persevere! Only two years after graduation, that is, in the challenging year of 2008, he finally found his own role in the popular TV series "Life and Death", thus getting a valuable opportunity to show his talent.
Yang Shuo poured all his strength, and he was frequently injured and sweated in the play, but he never complained about being bitter or tired. The outstanding performance of this classic masterpiece can't help but make all colleagues look sideways, and it also makes the audience change their opinion of him, so that his career is on the right track.
Since "Life and Death", Yang Shuo's acting path has become wider and wider, especially in the well-known TV series "Ode to Joy" broadcast a few years later, his popularity has reached its peak, making him firmly at the forefront of the ranks of the hot new generation of male stars.
The hit of "Ode to Joy" made Yang Shuo the most watched popular idol in the entertainment industry overnight. At that time, he not only attracted the warm pursuit of many girl fans with his handsome and upright appearance, but also won high praise from industry professionals and directors with his superb and excellent acting skills.
During the hit TV series, there were endless positive news and in-depth interviews about Yang Shuo, and the public had high expectations for this young man who showed extraordinary talent since he was a child but had been unknown for a long time, and predicted that he was about to soar into the sky and become a high-profile first-line superstar.
But unexpectedly, just when the whole people thought that Yang Shuo was bound to sweep Asia, some unacceptable negative reports came as scheduled, seriously disrupting the pace of his career development.
In 2016, with his outstanding performance in the popular TV series "Ode to Joy", Yang Shuo finally stood out in the fierce competition and won the honorary title of "Most Popular Actor of the Year".
In the following years, he won a number of high-profile film and television awards, winning the love and respect of the audience.
The popularity has plummeted, and the negative news has been in full swing, so that the image of the charming man who was full of charm in the past is almost gone. The audience has had a huge change from admiration and affection to doubts and dissatisfaction with him.
"Yes, I was really physically and mentally exhausted, and even fell into a deep confusion and hesitation. Yang Shuo said with a gloomy expression, his words were full of deep self-reflection, "It's really difficult to regain a firm position!"
Looking back on the road he traveled before he became famous, it was not all smooth sailing, but full of endless hardships and hardships. In 1999, Yang Shuo, a young man full of dreams, set foot on the road to Beipiao alone, hoping to find his life direction in this bustling metropolis.
However, the promises of his friends are often far from reality, and the hardships of life leave him at a loss.
"Those days can be described as vicissitudes. Yang Shuo recalled the bitter years deeply, frowned and sighed, "Sometimes, I can only rely on eating those cold steamed buns to fill my stomach every day, and I don't even have the money to eat a slightly decent meal."
”。
What's even more tragic is that once he didn't even have the money to buy cold steamed buns. In this extreme predicament, Yang Shuo found a bag of leftover cakes in one of the bins.
"The moment I picked up the cookie, I was thrilled and conflicted. Yang Shuo frowned at the corners of his mouth as he spoke, as if he was still immersed in the complicated mood at that time, "Although I was salivating, I was also a little hesitant, and finally I ate it hard."
Looking back on the past, his eyes were filled with tears, but his tone was unswerving: "The leftover cake at that time made me determined that no matter how difficult it was, I would persevere, because only by surviving this period of time can I usher in the possibility of returning home in the future."
It is with this indomitable will and unswerving pursuit of his dreams that Yang Shuo finally attracted the attention of an agent and began his dramatic and magnificent acting career.
In 2001, Yang Shuo was successfully admitted to the Central Academy of Drama, which was undoubtedly a key turning point in his life. However, along with the ecstasy, new challenges also arise.
"When I first entered the school, I was often a spectator when my classmates rehearsed because my voice was not good. Yang Shuo recounted the situation during his studies at that time, with a heavy and helpless expression, "At that time, I always felt inferior, and I was afraid of causing trouble to everyone.
In addition to technical problems, Yang Shuo does not have an absolute chance of winning in terms of appearance. He did not shy away from admitting that in his early years, he was slightly deficient in terms of appearance, and he often seemed confused and at a loss within the race.
Thankfully, despite the difficulties encountered in opening the venue, Yang Shuo never chose to give up. With unwavering perseverance and continuous improvement in his later skills, he gradually regained the self-confidence that belonged to him.
"The tempering during the Chinese opera period has laid a solid foundation for my future career as an actor. Yang Shuo said with emotion, "This process has cultivated my tenacious spiritual quality and taught me not to give up in difficult situations."
With his superb performance in the hit urban emotional drama "Ode to Joy", Yang Shuo has successfully become a household name among the popular idols, winning many awards such as "Most Popular Actor of the Year".
At that time, he could be described as a top traffic star in the limelight in the entertainment industry, and he was surrounded by fans wherever he went.
"It was a wonderful time and I'm very proud of myself. Yang Shuo recalled that glorious moment, and it was difficult to hide the pride on his face, "Who would have thought that this glory would come so quickly, I was a little at a loss at the time."
However, the good times did not last long, and a series of negative rumors followed, which made Yang Shuo fall into an embarrassing predicament again. In 2019, a media outlet exposed the record of his intimate conversation with a mysterious woman, which was full of sexual innuendos, which quickly caused speculation on the Internet about "Yang Shuo's flowery heart and big radish".
Yang Shuo said frankly: "When I heard the news, I was very depressed, and my public image in a short period of time was greatly damaged. Although his studio immediately came out to clarify that "this is all false information and is completely maliciously slandered", the incident was widely spread on the Internet, causing him substantial harm.
Just as this turmoil has not yet subsided, Yang Shuo and another TV crew broke out again over the issue of salary. The tense grievances between the two sides have put him on the cusp of public opinion again, and people have criticized him at multiple levels, productized and negated, and portrayed him as a mercenary person.
After that, the two reality shows that Yang Shuo participated in recording also brought a lot of troubles to himself. On the screen, his attitude towards life and the concept of family education have been strongly questioned by the audience.
Dear netizens have eagerly left messages that Yang Shuo has shown obvious machismo tendencies and long-term domestic violence, and his behavior is unguarded and worrying.
It is important to know that Yang Shuo was involved in this noisy public opinion storm at the peak of his life, and it is not an isolated case. This just symbolizes an inevitable "regularity" phenomenon that most celebrities must experience after climbing the peak of their careers.
As the famous actor Haiqing once profoundly expounded: "Although it is beautiful when a person reaches the level of red and purple, who can maintain the position of the focus under the purple light forever?
"Yes, the cruelty of the entertainment industry lies here, behind the star-studded fame, but what is hidden is their endless pressure and pain.
"At that time, I did feel the kind of distress that weighed like a black hat. Yang Shuo shook his head in a self-deprecating manner, "After all, no one can endure such large-scale verbal criticism and criticism.
However, in addition, another important reason why Yang Shuo is burdened with huge criticism is his life style and value orientation. In contrast, Yang Shuo's thinking is more traditional and even somewhat closed, and he shows a relatively backward mode of thinking in many fields such as educational views.
"I have no intention of questioning or rejecting the mainstream of contemporary thought. Yang Shuo replied in a helpless and slightly frustrated tone, "It's just that from less to more, all I accept are those outdated concepts, and if you want to change it, it will naturally take a while to adapt."
In response to the current era of advocating respect and actively promoting new ideas, some of Yang Shuo's behaviors and actions are inevitably regarded as "unable to keep up with the pace of the times", and then have been widely criticized.
Looking back on Yang Shuo's acting career now, it is not difficult to see that he is undoubtedly a very good actor. In picturesque dramas, he has played many classic characters who are exquisite and loved by the audience.
Referring to the yet-to-be-released film "Life and Death", Yang Shuo proudly shared: "This series is full of countless tragic battle scenes, I have never screamed bitterly, even though my legs have been seriously injured and swollen, I still stick to my post and finish filming every scene."
This high level of loyalty and dedication to the actor's profession has already made people respectful, in addition to professional quality, the spirit of unremitting struggle purely for artistic dreams is also touching.
"My biggest dream is to be able to tell myself firmly in the last moments of my life that I have worked hard to pursue my dreams, and these are all things to be thankful for.
Speaking of this, Yang Shuo's tone became more and more firm, his eyes were bright and resolute, and every word was full of deep emotional power.
There is no doubt that withdrawing from those controversial variety shows and devoting himself to the filming of film and television dramas may be the best way for Yang Shuo to reshape his public image and show his personal talent! Only as an actor can he truly show his most authentic and excellent side.
"I will unswervingly continue to struggle, play every role with my heart, and give my full strength to the fullest. Yang Shuo's eloquent words expressed his incomparable enthusiasm and dedication to his career, "As long as the long river of fate has not stopped, I will bravely devote myself to exploration and attempt, and never stop."
