The road to becoming a child star in one step
Looking back on You Haoran's acting career, people can't help but sigh how far this once well-known little actor has fallen now.
On a spring day in 2005, three-year-old You Haoran appeared in a CCTV public service advertisement "Wash Mother's Feet", playing a young and lovely little boy, softly calling "Mom, wash your feet" The scene is still deeply rooted in the hearts of countless audiences.
Just a few seconds of footage are enough for this little guy to show his amazing acting talent and potential.
Just two years later, in 2007, five-year-old You Haoran was fortunate to participate in the large-scale TV series "Mansion Gate" directed by the famous director Guo Baochang, and played Li Wanyin's youngest son Xiao Tianyi in the play.
In this big drama that brings together many powerful actors, You Haoran has no stage fright and performs well, winning warm applause from the audience. Since then, he has emerged in the entertainment industry and attracted everyone's attention.
What's even more gratifying is that this is just the tip of the iceberg of You Haoran's acting career. In 2008, he played one of the protagonists in the popular family sitcom "Family with Children" "Xia Yu", with his vivid and interesting interpretation of this role, he quickly became popular and became a "silly" idol in the minds of many audiences.
Such a child star who has attracted much attention and love is undoubtedly an enviable existence at that time. Many people are looking forward to this little actor who will definitely shine in the entertainment industry in the future and become a popular star.
Who knows, fate finally gave him an unexpected turn.
remembers that back then, whether it was in "Washing Mother's Feet" or "The Gate of the Mansion", You Haoran showed amazing talent, which made countless audiences fall in love with it. Especially in "Family with Children", he vividly interpreted the role of Xia Yu, giving people a unique feeling that is both honest and cute and full of humor.
Many people believe that with such an outstanding performance, You Haoran's future will be bright.
However, who would have thought that in the following years, this once high-profile child star would fall to the point where he is now, completely "withdrawn from the net", and no one can save him.
The young boy who was immature and cute back then has now grown into a 25-year-old young man, but he can no longer regain his former glory.
Dreams are shattered, and it is difficult to return to the top
Compared with You Haoran's outstanding performance on the screen in the past, there is little news about him now, as if he has really disappeared from this glorious entertainment circle.
What's going on?
In fact, You Haoran received a TV series called "Kamikaze Knife" in 2014, playing the role of a wrestler. This role has had a profound impact on him and has also aroused the expectations of many netizens.
However, sadly, it is precisely because of his overly bloated figure that You Haoran has once again suffered public criticism. Many viewers have said that this mellow and lovely "Xiaoyu" image in the past is now old and unacceptable.
This also made You Haoran miss out on many more challenging role opportunities.
In contrast, Yang Zi and Zhang Yishan, who starred in "Family with Children" at the same time, ushered in their own counterattack during this period.
In 2015, Yang Zi returned to the screen with the urban emotional drama "Ode to Joy", and won wide acclaim for her rich and delicate interpretation. In 2016, Zhang Yishan starred in a number of excellent TV series and film works one after another, and re-emerged in the entertainment industry with his excellent acting skills.
The success of the two is undoubtedly gratifying, but in contrast, You Haoran is difficult to seize these rare opportunities and misses the opportunity to continue to move forward. The reason for this is not difficult to find that You Haoran's problems mainly stem from himself.
As early as 2015, 18-year-old You Haoran applied for the Beijing Film Academy, and was swept away by everyone's expectations, but in the end, he was extremely disappointed when the exam results were announced.
Not only did he fail the exam, but he also failed several subsequent exams. You Haoran didn't seem to be able to get rid of such a curse, and his explanation for this was simply because he was negligent during the exam and was not fully prepared.
What is surprising is that You Haoran's self-evaluation at that time seemed so overconfident. Compared with Yang Zi and Zhang Yishan, two artists who are both child stars, they were successfully admitted to their favorite Beijing Film Academy in 2010, and You Haoran's three failures have undoubtedly become an insurmountable mountain, which makes people wonder what his strength is.
It seems that You Haoran's acting skills have changed, making it impossible for him to keep up with the pace of the times and regain his past glory. When those artists of the same period were gradually climbing the ladder, he gradually fell into a predicament, and his dreams were shattered.
"Stumbling blocks" that hinder career development
In addition to You Haoran's own strength, we have to notice some of his shortcomings in interpersonal communication, which has also become a major "stumbling block" hindering his career development.
In the entertainment industry, most celebrities pay special attention to their interpersonal networks. Take Yang Zi and Zhang Yishan, who starred in "Family with Children" at the same time, their demonstration is really touching.
The tacit cooperation between the two in variety shows made the audience feel the deep friendship between them. Even on the red carpet in public, Zhang Yishan always carefully helped Yang Zi arrange her skirt and silently accompanied her, these details made people feel the rare tacit understanding between them.
However, in contrast, there are few traces of important figures such as Yang Zi, Zhang Yishan, and even former mentor Song Dandan on You Haoran's social platforms. Even at Song Dandan's birthday party, it was difficult to see the blessings sent by You Haoran.
This is in stark contrast to Yang Zi and Zhang Yishan's behavior of extending their most sincere wishes to Song Dandan from time to time, and even coming to the scene to support.
It can be said that You Haoran's lack of interpersonal communication has also become a major "stumbling block" hindering his career development. The entertainment industry is complex, and handling interpersonal relationships well is undoubtedly the key to success.
But unfortunately, You Haoran obviously has shortcomings in this aspect, and it is difficult to stick to it for a long time in such a harsh environment.
Recalling that year, Yang Zi and Zhang Yishan showed excellent interpersonal skills. They always pay attention to the important people around them and maintain a deep emotional connection with mentors such as Song Dandan.
This undoubtedly paves the way for their future rise.
And You Haoran, who doesn't seem to have learned how to deal with these relationships. Even in front of his former teacher, it is difficult for him to give due respect and care.
This situation will naturally affect his status and development in the entertainment industry.
It is no wonder that with the gradual rise of Yang Zi and Zhang Yishan, You Haoran gradually faded out of the public eye, and finally fell into the current situation. The lack of interpersonal skills has undoubtedly become a major "stumbling block" hindering his career development.
Self-depravity
The root cause of You Haoran's current predicament lies in his self-depravity.
Looking back on You Haoran's experience, it is not difficult for us to find that after failing to apply for a film school, he spent four whole years and was still taking various exams repeatedly.
However, after three consecutive defeats, he still did not realize the need to change his old image, nor did he take the initiative to try to improve his level.
What's even more disappointing is that in the TV series "Drive Your Melancholy Away", You Haoran should have portrayed the image of a withdrawn and indifferent teenager, but in the end he still couldn't get rid of the shadow of the role of "Xia Yu", but gave people a feeling as if he was imitating.
Any outstanding person must overcome his own inertia and maintain the spirit of continuous exploration and progress in order to win wide recognition from the society. However, You Haoran was not able to do this.
He seems to be content with the glory of the past and fails to adjust himself in time to keep up with the changes in the market.
It is not difficult for us to find that in the entertainment industry, there are many artists like Gao Ye and Zhang Songwen, although they are not as concerned as You Haoran, they still persevere in tempering their acting skills, and finally ushered in their own brilliance at an appropriate time.
And what about You Haoran? He undoubtedly has more favorable conditions than these people, but it is difficult for him to grasp his opportunity. This undoubtedly shows that he lacks the determination to constantly surpass and improve himself.
He used to have the same excellent qualifications as Yang Zi and Zhang Yishan, but he did not learn from his failures again and again and continue to improve himself like them. On the contrary, You Haoran, after repeated defeats, only tried to cover up his flaws with some excuses.
Because of this, he gradually lost himself in the mire of himself, and it was difficult for him to reach the top again.
Perhaps, this is also the root cause of You Haoran's final predicament. If a person is satisfied with the status quo and gives up continuous self-cultivation, it will be difficult to gain a foothold in this rapidly changing entertainment industry.
How to stand out from the competition
Through the combing of You Haoran's acting career, it is not difficult for us to summarize some important revelations and suggestions.
First of all, for anyone who is engaged in the creation of art, it is important to always maintain a sense of crisis and be proactive in responding to changes in the competitive environment.
Even an actor who is now very popular has gone through countless hardships in the past. For example, Zhang Songwen, he has been in the entertainment industry for many years, but he has never attracted much attention, and it is only recently that he has made a name for himself in the industry with his excellent acting skills.
This shows that even if a person has had a brilliant experience, if he can't adjust himself in time to adapt to the changes in market demand, then success can only be short-lived.
Therefore, it is essential for every actor to maintain a sense of crisis at all times and be ready to take on new challenges at all times.
Secondly, the continuous improvement of its own strength is also crucial. It is not difficult to find that the key reason why Yang Zi and Zhang Yishan were able to return and achieve great success after many years of hibernation is that they have never stopped tempering and exploring themselves.
Even in such an unfavorable background, they still maintain their determination to never give up, which is undoubtedly something to learn.
In contrast, You Haoran failed to learn from the lessons after repeatedly failing in exams, but fell into self-confusion. It can be seen that if a person wants to stand out in the cruel competitive environment, it is far from enough to rely on the glory of the past, and he must always maintain self-upgrading and improvement.
Finally, the management of one's own image is also an issue worthy of attention. As we know, You Haoran's weight problems have been bothering him and have even caused him to miss out on many of the more challenging role opportunities.
On the other hand, those successful actors often make huge sacrifices for a specific role, even if they need to strictly control their diet.
This once again proves that whether an actor can perfectly interpret a role depends largely on his determination and perseverance.
To sum up, what qualities does a person need to have in order to stand out in the fierce competition in acting?
If You Haoran can realize these key factors in time and put them into action, I believe that he will be able to regain his due brilliance and rebuild his past glory.
