Recently, the dialogue between actor Huang Lei and the host Lu Yu successfully aroused the attention of the whole network, it turned out that Huang Lei was recently a guest on the program "Lu Yu has an appointment for a day", and Lu Yu asked him a lot of topics related to the recent situation.
Talking about the current situation, Huang Lei bluntly said that he has been working behind the scenes, he has not filmed for two years, and variety shows have stopped, such as "Longing for Life", which was officially announced last year, which was proposed by him.
As for why he hasn't filmed for two years, Huang Lei explained that it was the result of his own choice, and he wanted to return to his family and live the most ordinary life at this stage than acting.
Because his eldest daughter is 18 years old, his second daughter is about to be 11 years old, and even his youngest son is about to be 7 years old, which makes him feel that time flies and he wants to cherish the time he spends with his family.
At the moment, even if it is accompanying the children to do their homework and having breakfast with them, it is something he feels he yearns for more than filming.
Although from Huang Lei's words, we can feel his desire to return to his family, but all netizens who pay attention to him also know that he is not filming or participating in variety shows at the moment, because he is now a program producer.
The variety show "Cat in the Box" produced by him has been broadcast, don't look at Huang Lei when he talks about this show, he is proud, and his whole body is full of excitement.
But judging from netizens' comments on the show, Huang Lei's current excitement is really too optimistic, and this once again confirms how correct Shen Teng's evaluation of Huang Lei was on "Longing for Life"!
Although "Cat in the Box" has only been updated for two episodes, the show has been pointed out by many netizens A lot of problems, and when the show was just officially announced, netizens were still looking forward to the show.
Because judging from the promotional content of the show, the show is a bit like a combination of "escape room" and "script killing", and the guests who participate in the show will walk into a room full of puzzles.
Only by solving the puzzle can the story direction of the entire script be cracked in the end, and only with the introduction of this show, it has made people think about it, and they are very curious about what kind of "chemical reaction" will be produced when "escape room" and "script kill" together.
What we didn't expect was that in addition to the content of the show being a combination of two popular games, even the guests of the show were also a combination of two ace variety show guests, that is, "Running Boy Brothers" and "Extremely Picky Men's Gang".
It turned out that in the official announcement of the guest lineup, we saw Huang Bo, Zhang Yixing and Wang Xun, members of the "Original Extreme Pick Men Gang", as well as Zheng Kai and Chen He in the "Running Man Brothers".
Seeing this, we are even more looking forward to the broadcast of "Cat in the Box", after all, it is quite rare to see the "Extremely Picky Men Gang" and "Running Men Brothers" in the same frame, and they will definitely be very funny together.
Sure enough, as soon as "Cat in a Box" was broadcast, it was supported by a group of netizens, and its popularity ranked at the top of the variety show list, but under the high attention, netizens also sent a bunch of bad reviews for the show.
In the eyes of many netizens, they are ready to "burn their brains", and they also benchmark the show against Mango's variety show "Escape Room".
As a result, after watching "The Cat in the Box", these netizens were disappointed, because the difficulty of solving the puzzle of "The Cat in the Box" is not high, and even many netizens feel that it is simply "the kindergarten version of "The Great Escape Room".
Of course, there are also many netizens who watch it for "funny", they don't want to "burn their brains", they just want to watch a light-hearted and humorous variety show.
It is said that with Chen He and Huang Bo's ability to "pick up stalks", it is impossible for the show to be funny, but we thought too simply after all, and we obviously didn't expect that these guests might not adapt to the rhythm of the show.
Sure enough, many netizens who watched the show obviously felt that the guests were indeed trying to be funny, and the program team would also make some stalks from time to time to improve the laughter of the show, such as "Gang of Men with a Passing Line".
Even Zhang Yixing, who is not very funny, he is trying to be funny, and he laughs from time to time, but sometimes we don't know why he laughs.
In general, there are a lot of elements in this show, bringing together escape rooms, script killing, and even variety shows with drama performances, which looks quite attractive and has a lot of highlights.
But when put together, it did not produce the effect of 1+1>2, but it backfired, in the words of netizens, it was to use the lineup of extremely picky and men's gangs to fry the "leftovers" of "Famous Detective" and "Secret Escape".
also added a lot of sensational daddy dramas, just thinking about it, I don't think it can be good-looking, and the most important thing is that they also blame the failure of the show on the producer Huang Lei.
The reason why netizens blame Huang Lei is actually for a reason, after all, this show was indeed produced by him, and the inspiration for the show also came from him.
One day in 2021, Huang Lei suddenly had a burst of inspiration, and a prototype of a program flashed in his mind, tentatively named "Schrödinger's Cat".
Just following the clip that came to his mind, Huang Lei just did what he said, and the show "Cat in the Box" was born.
I have to say that Huang Lei is really a man of action, which is really in line with his style, because through Huang Lei's past experience, it is not difficult for us to find that Huang Lei really tried many fields casually, but the results are not very optimistic as this time.
Huang Lei's love for literature and art should be with his father, in December 1971, he was born in Nanchang, Jiangxi, his father Huang Xiaoli is an actor, and he is also a national first-class actor.
In terms of acting talent, Huang Lei definitely inherited his father Huang Xiaoli, and when he was young, Huang Lei was indeed good-eyed and very slender, like a genius in film and television works.
In 1990, Huang Lei was successfully admitted to the acting department of Beijing Film Academy, and became classmates with Jiang Wen's younger brother Jiang Wu and Wang Jinsong, one of the representatives of the "Uncle Circle".
After that, Huang Lei naturally began to gallop on the road of actors, and he was "much faster than the actors of the same period".
We all know that the first play played by Huang Lei was the movie "Singing While Walking" directed by Chen Kaige, and such a starting point is beyond people's reach.
But we don't know that when Huang Lei filmed this movie, he had just walked into Nortel's school gate, which means that he hadn't learned acting yet, so he only relied on a photo on his student ID card, and then became the actor in Chen Kaige's movie.
Such a famous experience can definitely be said to have gotten a "good hand" at the beginning, leaving a whole street behind his classmates, and he will definitely not worry about development in the future.
The next story is indeed developing in this direction, after graduating from the bachelor's degree, Huang Lei took the lead again, and together with Leslie Cheung and Wu Qianlian, he acted in the movie "Singing in the Middle of the Night".
We all know that there are many singing scenes in the movie, which shows Huang Lei's outstanding singing skills, and because of this, a record company came soon after hearing about it, and they had to release a record for Huang Lei.
Originally, Huang Lei refused, but the record company actually "looked at the thatched house", and in the end he could only nod and agree, and in 1997, he also released his first album "Singing While Walking".
I have to say that at that time, Huang Lei crossed over to become a singer, and he did not have any sense of disobedience, on the contrary, it was particularly in line with his character of "literary male god".
Therefore, after releasing several albums in succession, Huang Lei's popularity has increased a lot, however, we all know that Huang Lei has stopped singing for a long time, and his singer career has been suspended for more than 10 years.
Huang Lei also revealed the truth behind this incident on the show, Huang Lei bluntly said that his best friend in music is named "Chen Zhiyuan", Chen Zhiyuan is a well-known musician, and many of Huang Lei's songs.
Even the episodes of some film and television works starring Huang Lei are all from Chen Zhiyuan, the two of them cherish each other and are each other's confidants.
Because of this, in 2011, after Chen Zhiyuan passed away due to illness, Huang Lei completely lost his musical partner since then, so he decided not to sing anymore and stop being a singer.
Although Huang Lei is not a singer, there are regrets for his fans, but after all, singing is not his main business, so there is nothing to pity.
However, Huang Lei's main business is filming, but there are many regrets, as an actor, Huang Lei's acting career has several stages, first of all, the stage of "literary male god" that he easily established in the first few years of his debut.
At that time, in terms of movies, in "April Day in the World", he almost perfectly shaped Xu Zhimo's screen image, and since then, when it comes to Xu Zhimo, many people will think of Huang Lei's appearance when he was young.
In terms of TV series, he handed over excellent works like "Orange is Red" and "Years Like Water", you know, Huang Lei is the director of "Years Like Water".
Based on this alone, we can see that Huang Lei can take care of multiple jobs as early as the age of 30, be an actor, sing at the same time, and can also become a director to shoot TV series.
Such Huang Lei, in the eyes of the outside world, has always been a genius in the entertainment industry, no wonder he can become Nortel's teacher!
It's a pity that even so, as he grows older, with the change in body shape and appearance, Huang Lei's acting career has also encountered a bottleneck, and he can't play the "literary male god" anymore.
But this crisis couldn't break Huang Lei at all, he quickly found a way out, and at the invitation of his friends and directors Zhao Baogang and Wang Jun, Huang Lei starred in family dramas such as "Marriage Protection War" and "Gang of Men".
The next story is also very familiar to us, that is, with the popularity of these family dramas, Huang Lei successfully created another image in film and television dramas, that is, the image of a good family man with a long mouth and a poor mouth.
This is also Huang Lei's screen image that has continued to this day, and when these roles are played too much, the audience will naturally have aesthetic fatigue, which will be at the maximum in 2021, when the TV series "Xiaomin's Family" is broadcast, the audience's vomiting will reach the maximum.
Perhaps for this reason, Huang Lei has never acted in the same type of TV series since this drama, and he basically doesn't even play the leading role.
But even so, netizens still have a lot of complaints about the works he starred in, among which I have to mention Huang Lei's performance in the TV series "County Party Committee Compound".
Originally, he didn't have many scenes, but in just a few scenes, netizens were able to find a bunch of faults, among which the strongest reaction was the scene where he and Hu Ge ate together.
obviously ate well, but a netizen sent out a barrage of "When I see Huang Lei eating, I think of "Longing for Life", the key is that more than one netizen has such a feeling.
This shows how much influence variety shows have on actors, and we all know that Huang Lei has more characters in variety shows, in 2014, he took his eldest daughter Duoduo to participate in "Where Are You Going, Dad".
Since then, his characters of "Good Father" and "Huang Xiaochu" have become household names, and the characters of "Huang Xiaochu" have also been further consolidated with the hit of "Longing for Life".
However, in recent years, netizens have begun to question Huang Lei's cooking level, because the guests will praise Huang Lei's cooking every time, but the camera often captures that there are often a lot of dishes left on the table.
In one issue, Na Ying also told the truth in one sentence, but when other guests were still praising Huang Lei, she said "It's not tasteful", and since then, Huang Lei's "Huang Xiaochu" character has become even more suspicious.
In addition to "Huang Xiaochu", Huang Lei also set up the smart characters of "Old Fox" and "God Operator" through "Extreme Challenge", these characters really made Huang Lei's popularity skyrocket at the beginning, and there are several more ways to go in his acting career.
But there are two sides to everything, just when Huang Lei's characters are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, his image in film and television dramas can't impress the audience, and even often makes the audience play.
In addition to the questioning of the equipment of the people on the screen, many netizens also began to doubt Huang Lei's personality in real life, such as a good father and a good husband.
Through some interviews with Huang Lei and Sun Li in the early years, netizens have found a bunch of reasons to overturn them, and the story has happened to the present, Huang Lei has become a producer, and his new variety show has received bad reviews.
All these things add up, which makes many netizens think of Shen Teng's evaluation of Huang Lei when he participated in "Longing for Life" before.
At that time, he bluntly said that Huang Lei was "the kind that is all the same", and many people thought Shen Teng was funny at that time, but now netizens are more willing to believe that Shen Teng was just joking at that time and told the truth.
And after reading the comments of netizens on Huang Lei himself and "The Cat in the Box", we also have to sigh that no one is perfect! Especially for people like Huang Lei who have tried in many fields, it is even more difficult to get praise for all of them.
And this may also be a signal, reminding Huang Lei that it's time to think about what he wants to do the most, and then just do this goal well, so that maybe he can change netizens' opinions of him.
