There is a category of stars, whether you say that he is outdated, or whether they have given up their acting career.
These stars did not continue to walk when they were at their most brilliant, but chose to abandon the film and engage in business.
It's a pity that this path is not for everyone, but there are a few who have done it very successfully and made a lot of money.
Then let's take a look at the stars who have not finished their acting careers, but have become real capital predators.
01 Ren Quan
Actor Ren Quan was born in Qiqihar City, Heilongjiang Province in 1973 and graduated from the Performance Department of Shanghai Theater Academy.
In 1994, he participated in his first play "Waiting All the Way" and made his official debut.
In 2000, he ushered in the peak of his career, and became popular after participating in "Young Bao Qingtian". became "the most handsome Gongsun Ce in history" and won the TV drama ratings championship that year with this drama.
Hit while the iron was hot, followed up with dramas such as "One Foot in the Country" and "It's All Angels", and his acting skills in the play were remarkable, and he was really popular all over the country at that time, and Lu Yi, Li Yapeng, and Chen Kun at that time were called the "Four Little Masters of the Mainland".
became the prince charming in the hearts of countless little girls, but what he never expected was that he suddenly chose to leave at the peak of such an interpretation.
temporarily bid farewell to his brilliant career as an actor and embarked on a business path that he was not sure about.
We don't know if it's a rainy day or a dizziness, but what happens next tells us how it will turn out.
There is such a small episode, as early as the age of twenty-five when he opened his own restaurant.
At that time, the money to open a restaurant was not enough, so I borrowed 40,000 yuan from a good friend of mine, and it officially opened after the funds were in place.
After about a few years, the restaurant made money day by day under his management, and soon the market value of the restaurant was close to 10 million.
And the one who lent him money was another star we are familiar with - Li Bingbing.
In fact, Ren Quan also said that the success of his current investment is inseparable from his acting career.
If he didn't have filming at that time, he wouldn't be as popular as he is now, he wouldn't have such a high income, and he wouldn't have gone into business.
After opening a restaurant, he did one more thing that made him a complete hit in the business district.
That is, before Huayi went public, he took out all his savings and invested nearly two million yuan.
His investment was undoubtedly successful, and in just a few years, it appreciated to a market value of more than 30 million.
Ren Quan has made a name for himself in the business circle, and is known as the "Holy Hand of Investment", "China's version of Warren Buffett" and so on.
Later, he also opened a hot pot restaurant with other celebrities, established a venture capital company StarVC, a bubble tea shop, and even the latest artificial intelligence and rockets were involved. Every year, it is tens of millions of dollars just by relying on investment dividends, and it is directly worth tens of billions. Even Wang Sicong praised him, saying that Ren Quan was the most intelligent artist he had ever seen.
When everyone is unsatisfactory, the company involved in the shareholding is suspected of illegal fundraising, because his personal shareholding has caused a lot of public opinion, and I don't know if it will have an impact on the next career, I only hope that he can keep the bottom line of morality and the red line of the law.
02 Huang Xiaoming
Actor Huang Xiaoming was born in Qingdao, Shandong Province in 1977 and graduated from the Performance Department of Beijing Film Academy.
In 1998, he starred in his first play "Love Is Not a Game" and made his debut and officially entered the showbiz.

In 2005, he was selected into the Forbes China Celebrity List for the first time.
Huang Xiaoming's path as an actor is not easy, and he was recognized again by everyone through "Chinese Partner" a few years ago.

In recent years, it has also been recognized by the audience again with the movie "Heroes of Fire" and the drama "Sideburns Are Not Begonia Red".
After Huang Xiaoming earned the first pot of gold in his life, he did not squander or consume, but made his own investment.
He himself once said that he still has a little talent in investing.
His business model is different from others, with his own unique vision and insight, he constantly explores different business models.
Huang Xiaoming is aware of his strengths, and uses his influence and connections to meet more elites and bigwigs in the business circle by participating in various social activities.
Grasping these resources and contacts has played a great role in the future operation.
His business also originated from investing in Huayi Brothers Media, and he is also a shareholder.
When investing in the company, it was purchased at a price of 3 yuan per share, and the stock price reached 70 yuan per share on the day of the company's listing, and the highest reached 91 yuan per share.
In addition, Huang Xiaoming also cooperated with Zeng Zhiwei to invest 60 million yuan to introduce red wine from five high-end wineries in France, a feat that directly allowed him to break into the high-end red wine market.
There is also a Gemdale International Golf Course that participates in the investment, which also highlights the charm of its commercial stage.

In addition to film and television, Huang Xiaoming has also developed in many fields such as catering, fitness, science and technology, and it is understood that Huang Xiaoming has participated in the investment of nearly 50 enterprises, which shows that Huang Xiaoming has a unique business vision, and I believe that with the accumulation of time and experience in the future, he will definitely go further.
03 Nicholas Tse
Nicholas Tse was born in Hong Kong in August 1980, and his birth itself is different from others.
Because when he was born, a large number of media came to watch, after all, he was the child of "Hong Kong sister Deborah" and "fourth brother Xie Xian".
This child was born extraordinary, which is also destined to be different in the future.
When Nicholas Tse was 16 years old, family changes caused by his father's bankruptcy caused him to sign a 10-year "deed of sale" with the Emperor.
Later, at the request of the company, he went to Japan to study music, and after returning to China, he entered the entertainment industry, and won the Best Newcomer Award at the Academy Awards in 1996, the Golden Melody Award for songs and a series of honors.
At just 19 years old, Nicholas Tse started his first step in investing in life.
He bought some shops in Hundred Flowers Street, Central, Hong Kong for investment, and personally held a number of shops, and was known as the "King of Flower Street Shops" by insiders.
By chance, as a singer, Nicholas went to a concert abroad, and found that the special effects technology was far behind that of foreign countries when recording the MV, so in 2003, he mortgaged a number of properties under his name to start a special effects company "Po Chaoting".
Later, a cooperation between Po Chaoting and an American company made it famous.
In the following years, the company produced special effects for many films, and the company also opened a number of branches across the country.
In the end, the company became the top special effects company in China under the leadership of Nicholas Tse. In 2010 alone, the subsidiary registered in Shanghai had a revenue of 6 billion yuan after four years.
Everyone should be familiar with the next, and in recent years, the derivative flavor products of the "Twelve Sharp Flavors" program have stood out.
He loves food, and he has turned food into a business.
The flagship store of flavor cookies opened in Central in 2015 also has cooperation with major e-commerce platforms.
Nicholas once revealed in a show that the annual turnover of flavor is 200 million.
Nicholas Tse's biggest surprise to me is that he combines life and capital, which is really a sigh of genius.
