Preface
When it comes to the former Huang Lei, the audience's impression is that they are all powerful actors who are bookish and angry, and their acting skills and appearance are online, but now when Huang Lei is mentioned, more audiences only have a "greasy and shrewd" appearance for him.
And now in the era of the prevalence of "uncle circle male gods", Huang Lei said on the show that he had not filmed for 2 years, and he couldn't even receive a leading actor for 3 years.
Huang Lei, who was once a popular "first generation cream student", what has he done over the years will cause his popularity to become worse and worse, until he "falls" to the point where he now has "no drama to film......
"Good Teacher"
Huang Lei can say that he has gone from being a debut actor choosing scripts and roles to now participating in variety shows to show his real life, and the stereotype he gives the audience must be his "high IQ".
In the past, most of the roles he played were "bookish" and very heavy, and he himself was once synonymous with "literary young men", of course, he himself is also a master of Beijing Film Academy, and he is a teacher who has cultivated many powerful actors.
Although the audience has not denied his "high IQ", Huang Lei regards this as a "personality" that he can't let go, in fact, even if he does something that seems to be "no IQ", no one will still think that he is "stupid", but Huang Lei still insists that he must highlight his IQ in order to be more recognized by the audience.
Just like after he got married and had children, Huang Lei was not filming for a while, he understood that he should transform and become a "mature man" from a "cream student", this is where Huang Lei is very smart as an actor, after all, when he is old, he insists on playing a role that is not suitable for him, which will only make the audience feel "disgusted".
So at that time, after Huang Lei successfully transformed, he also participated in variety shows, and still remembered the "mess" of "Where Are You Going, Dad 2" he participated in in 2014, and his careful and gentle father image of reasoning with his daughter in variety shows made him highly praised and gained a lot of popularity.
is not just passerby, followed by all kinds of endorsements, it can be said that this is Huang Lei's "second spring of career" after the peak of his appearance.
But this variety show is just the beginning, when Huang Lei participated in "Extreme Challenge", the popularity of passers-by reached the "peak", no matter who the fan is, when they see Huang Lei, they will call him "Teacher Huang". His appearance of "knowing things like a god" in the show made many viewers worship.
What I didn't expect was that it was because of such "worship" that Huang Lei had a qualitative attitude towards his own person, and he later put his "high IQ" in the first place, whether in film and television dramas or variety shows.
I don't like others to say that he is too old, but he wants to get the absolute respect of his elders, and the way to show his cleverness has become to expose the shortcomings of others, and the image of "gentle and careful" has gradually become more "mean", especially in the variety show "Longing for Life", Shen Teng's comment on his sentence "Everything is clear, everything is loose" is even more classic.
From that moment on, Huang Lei seemed to be slowly moving towards the "downhill road", how good the "passer-by" was in the past, and how "miserable" the passer-by is now......
The former "cream boy"
Huang Lei is indeed a bit of a "good teacher" from the audience's point of view, but he is indeed very powerful, he was able to appear on stage when he was five years old, because his parents are actors in stage plays, and they have had high hopes for him since he was a child.
He is indeed very competitive, and he has not let his family worry about his hard work. In addition to stage plays, Huang Lei's academic performance is even better, he has liked science since he was a child, originally he dreamed of being a "chemist", but because his father wanted him to take over his mantle, he persuaded Huang Lei to "abandon science and follow literature".
Huang Lei didn't resist too much, so he agreed to his father, after all, his liberal arts were also good. Later, when I went to the university, the family went to Beijing to take the Nortel exam.
The final result is, of course, to pass the exam easily, and he and Wang Jinsong, who now has the "male god of the uncle circle", are still classmates. 19-year-old Huang Lei began acting in movies directed by Chen Kaige.
After graduating from the undergraduate program, he took care of his career and his studies at the same time, and then went to the entrance examination, and after being admitted to graduate school, he began to work as a teaching assistant in the school. At the same time, he also wrote, directed and acted in the stage play "The Gadfly".
His appearance when he was young was even more outstanding, and when he co-starred in "Half Life" with the "Four Heavenly Kings" Liming, Huang Lei even overpowered Liming's appearance for a while.
And appearance has become one of the most "unbrilliant" advantages of Huang Lei at that time, he is talented and capable, which everyone will not deny. When Huang Lei was a teaching assistant in the school, he also solved his "life events" by the way, and when welcoming new students, Sun Li's appearance suddenly made Huang Lei "love at first sight" for her.
Although the two have a 6-year age difference, Huang Lei felt that none of them mattered, so he pursued Sun Li on campus, and it didn't take long for Sun Li and Huang Lei to start a relationship.
Later, the two had children, and Huang Lei also began to consider transformation, seeing that the "appearance track" could no longer go on, Huang Lei simply chose to transform, he not only played a gentle and intelligent mature man in most film and television dramas, but also had a personality outside of work.
But Huang Lei must not have expected that this transformation would allow him to experience a "big ups and downs" change in popularity.
All kinds of "incomprehensible" behaviors
At the beginning, Huang Lei did soar in popularity with his "personality", but soon there were problems, I still remember 2016, when he was full of confidence to star in the Japanese manga adaptation of "Late Night Canteen".
Because the protagonist in the comics is just like him, he has a certain age and experience, but a delicate and soft person, Huang Lei thinks that this character is simply "tailor-made" for him.
But in fact, the performance is so that people can't "watch it", not to mention the large number of advertising placements in the whole play, let's just say that the feeling of Huang Lei is too different from the original character design, and many viewers think that Huang Lei is not playing the male lead, but playing himself.
Especially in the plot, "cutting ham sausage into the shape of an octopus" made Huang Lei still complained by the audience about being "greasy". This drama has also become the lowest-rated drama for Huang Lei for many years since his debut.
But after that, Huang Lei still didn't notice the problem, he didn't act much in film and television dramas, but he liked more and more to deliberately show his IQ on variety shows, and because of this, Huang Lei pushed himself step by step to go "downhill".
This year, Huang Lei seems to be working hard to save his "popularity", a variety show "Cat in the Box" that he participated in the production of was officially launched in January this year, and before the broadcast, Huang Lei also made great efforts.
The production director from himself was poached from other variety shows, and his regular guests are even more heavyweights, who were once a combination of the members in "Extreme Challenge" and the members in "Running Brothers", and these two variety shows have rarely surpassed their achievements until now.
Unexpectedly, after the broadcast, the variety show produced by Huang Lei had a mediocre response, the show effect was not so outstanding, and the performance of the guests was not as eye-catching as it used to be, and on the whole, the results were not as satisfactory as they thought before the broadcast.
In addition to this variety show, Huang Lei also indicated his current situation on the talk show "Luyu Has an Appointment for a Day" in April this year, and then I learned that he had not filmed for 2 years, and Huang Lei, who had played the leading role as soon as he acted, had not been able to play the male lead for 3 years.
And he also clearly knows that there will only be fewer and fewer film and television dramas he can make in the future, he is anxious in this situation, and even stops his "Longing for Life", which has always had good ratings, and rests at home every day, and when he wants to eat, he doesn't do it himself like "Huang Xiaochu" in the show, but chooses to order takeout.
epilogue
Although the 52-year-old Huang Lei has not filmed for several years, even his "popularity" has been declining, and a large part of it comes from his character characteristics of "being a good teacher".
Although he does have the talent to teach others, he only needs to teach students who learn from him, not teach others and make friends "how to behave", so that the audience can always spend time in education when watching the show.
However, even if he hasn't filmed for a few years, he still has rich savings, and although a show says the "sadness" of his career, life at least can't make people "sympathetic".
