Recently, Zhang Yishan's online drama "Residual Sin" was removed from the shelves after it was launched, which made everyone feel sorry for him.
After all, it can be said that Zhang Yishan grew up with all of us, and he has been well-known to the audience through "Family with Children" since he was a child.
This makes us want to see how child stars like him who debuted since childhood, how are they doing now?
For example, the actor of Douding in "The Adventures of Douding", and the actor of Chen Wenjie in "Young Daqincha" "Tinker Bell" - Xie Yunshan.
Xie Yunshan became famous at a young age, and he became popular all over the country after his debut as a child star, and even Zeng Zhiwei and Wu Mengda had to set him off at his peak.
He was discovered by the director by chance to have an acting talent.
Along the way, he has captured the hearts of countless audiences, and everyone loves him.
It's a pity that fate played a big joke on him.
In order to shoot more scenes, he changed his acting path, which led to a quiet change in his shining star career.
This change made Xie Yunshan's career and love unhappy, and he was dragged on a blind date by his mother on the first day of the Lunar New Year.
01
A glorious childhood
Due to congenital brain problems, Xie Yunshan could not climb until he was two years old.
His parents were afraid that the skinny Xie Yunshan would be bullied at school, so they decided to send him to practice martial arts, during which the brain problem miraculously returned to normal.
In 1995, the director team of "Hope for Tomorrow" encountered problems during the filming process, and the original young actors in the film never met the requirements, and the filming progress stagnated.
When he was very anxious, the director decided to go to the martial arts school to find another one.
It just so happened that Xie Yunshan was also taking classes at the martial arts school at this time.
Although Xie Yunshan looked inconspicuous in a group of students, and even when he was a child, he was a little stupid, but the director liked him at a glance.
After obtaining the consent of the parents, the crew immediately took Xie Yunshan over for filming.
At that time, Xie Yunshan was only 5 years old, but he did not have the slightest fear and fear in front of the camera, some were just calm and ghostly, and he was cute and smart in front of the camera.
He participated in the CCTV Spring Festival Awards Gala, cooperated with Weng Hong and Chen Daoming to shoot "Female Patrol", and starred in the TV series "Home and Outside" directed by Mu Long.
What really makes Xie Yunshan popular on the streets and alleys belongs to "The Adventures of Douding".
In 1997, director Gao Zhisen asked Xie Yunshan to star in "The Adventures of Douding". During the filming, the director asked him to turn his head and turn his head, and let him stare at him, Xie Yunshan followed very obediently, and his expression was in place.
In the end, he vividly showed a bold, intelligent, and brave brother Douding in front of the audience.
As soon as this film was released, it attracted the attention of many audiences, and Xie Yunshan became the hottest child star in the 90s.
In order to make his image deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, his mother also gave him the stage name "Tinker Bell".
Before the age of 7, Xie Yunshan had already filmed many film and television works, and he was already famous in the circle, and many directors rushed to invite him to shoot film and television dramas.
Xie Yunshan's explosion scared his parents, and they didn't know whether it was right or wrong to let Xie Yunshan marry into the entertainment industry.
His parents were worried that Xie Yunshan would not be able to balance his studies and filming, so after thinking about it again, they decided to send him back to school to complete his studies.
In this way, Xie Yunshan picked up the schoolbag symbolizing knowledge and embarked on the road to study.
Unlike Xie Yunshan, who was active during filming, he was silent at this time.
After school, he would sit alone in front of the TV and watch others perform on the screen.
Parents see everything in their eyes, although they can't bear it, but for the future development of their children, they can only ruthlessly act as if they don't see it.
Such days didn't last long, and by chance, Xie Yunshan appeared on the screen again.
In 2000, director Guan Jinpeng was preparing to shoot "Huo Yuanjia", and the plot in the play needed a child about 10 years old.
Under Gao Zhisen's recommendation, Guan Jinpeng found Xie Yunshan to star.
Although Xie Yunshan's parents are worried that their children's studies may be affected, it is not easy to refuse, after all, director Gao Zhisen can also be regarded as the guide of Xie Yunshan's career as an actor, not to mention that the child's recent condition is not very good, he doesn't like to talk and only watch TV.
When he learned that he was going to film, the cute and agile "Tinker Bell" came back, and he jumped up and down, full of endless excitement and curiosity.
During the days of filming "Huo Yuanjia", the corners of Xie Yunshan's mouth were always filled with a happy smile, and he happily came and went to the crew and home every day.
After this shooting, the parents also saw it, they knew Xie Yunshan's love for acting, and the trace of obsession that he once had was gone.
In the following days, Xie Yunshan followed his parents from this crew to another crew, and in the next two years, he filmed film and television dramas with various themes such as "Invincible County Order", "King Qian", "Drunken Man", "Peach Blossom in Troubled Times".
In 2003, Xie Yunshan's career reached its peak.
Xie Yunshan and Guo Donglin performed the sketch "My Dad and I Change Roles" at the Spring Festival Gala, in which he and Guo Donglin vividly showed the father-son conflicts encountered in many families.
The sketch of just a few minutes made thousands of viewers unable to let go for a long time, and they all remembered the three words "Tinker Bell" in their minds.
In the same year, Xie Yunshan participated in the TV series "Young Daqincha", and his name of "Tinker Bell" completely resounded in the sky.
The lineup of "Young Daqincha" is very luxurious, with Wu Mengda, Zeng Zhiwei, Jin Dong, etc., and the protagonist is Xie Yunshan.
In the play, Xie Yunshan plays Chen Wenjie, Qianlong's exiled child, who is not afraid of power and suppresses all injustices.
During the filming, Xie Yunshan acted in his true colors, vividly interpreting the eccentric nine-year-old county master.
As soon as the TV series was released, he became the focus of attention of people across the country, and almost door-to-door would enjoy Tinker Bell's performance in front of the TV to see how Chen Wenjie saved the day when he encountered danger.
After the broadcast of this play, because of his cute appearance and vivid acting skills, many people called Xie Yunshan a "ghost horse child star".
Although "Tinker Bell" has not undergone professional training, he has performed Chen Wenjie's oil without slippery in his own unique way.
But these successes are just castles in the air, because Xie Yunshan will always grow up, and only playing this type of role is not a long-term solution.
02
A brilliant career fell to Waterloo
In the next few years, Xie Yunshan participated in many film and television dramas as in the past, and also participated in many programs.
But as he grew older, his cute and innocent appearance gradually dissipated, and he felt it himself.
That year, "The Condor Heroes" starring Huang Xiaoming and Liu Yifei was about to start filming, but the director had not yet decided on the role of "Childhood Yang Guo".
After several tosses, the director found Tinker Bell to audition, and some staff members disliked him for being too tall and not suitable.
At this time, Xie Yunshan realized that it was time for him to transform, and when he grew up, he could no longer flaunt himself as a child star.
Although there were twists and turns in the audition process, after comparing with other young actors, the role of "Childhood Yang Guo" still fell to Xie Yunshan.
It's a pity that as soon as this version of "The Condor Heroes" was broadcast, Xie Yunshan caused dissatisfaction among the audience.
Everyone thinks that his performance is too exaggerated, and it is completely inconsistent with the role positioning of "Childhood Yang Guo".
Xie Yunshan also saw everyone's evaluation of himself, almost all of which were negative news, and some people even asked the crew to delete his role.
During that time, he often reflected on whether he would continue to act, and after thinking twice about deciding to accept the criticism of the audience, he slowed down his acting pace.
In order to broaden the opera road, Xie Yunshan took the initiative to fade out of the audience's field of vision, and made up his mind to go to the art academy for further study.
Xie Yunshan applied for the Central Academy of Drama and passed all the way, but unfortunately fell in the end.
The instructor of the acting department thought that his appearance was too ordinary, and it was only a coincidence that he became a child star, and felt that he lacked professional acting skills.
Unwillingly, he applied for the Communication University of China again, but in the end he still failed to be admitted.
Fortunately, he never gave up, and was accepted by the Beijing Film Academy after hitting a wall one after another.
Because he has achieved some success in the film and television industry, after entering the school, Xie Yunshan's learning attitude has some problems.
Not only did he talk about the honors he had received, but he didn't even listen to the guidance of his teachers.
In the long run, his acting skills have become more and more sluggish, and his academic performance has plummeted.
Looking at the countdown transcript of the final exam, Xie Yunshan's heart was deeply stabbed.
Xie Yunshan was not discouraged by this, he began to find problems in himself, and actively listened to the teacher's guidance and suggestions with a correct attitude.
Although his acting skills have improved, his body management has failed, and in just a few years of college career, Xie Yunshan has grown a lot of flesh.
The eccentric Tinker Bell of the past is gone, and in exchange for a somewhat greasy Xie Yunshan.
The college years pass in a flash, and in the blink of an eye, it is graduation season.
Before entering school, Xie Yunshan won the hearts of the audience through the inherent acting methods of child stars, but this method no longer works as the years go by.
The surrounding classmates all found the corresponding crew to participate in the work one by one, only Xie Yunshan was forgotten by the audience, and he was no longer the shining child star he was at the beginning.
In order to make a living, Xie Yunshan had to take over several film and television dramas, but unfortunately no matter how hard he tried, his acting skills did not seem to improve, and everyone began to dislike him in the long run.
It wasn't until the arrival of the movie "Qi Gong" that Xie Yunshan felt completely devastated.
03
A shining child star that never returns
"My biggest hope is to do what an actor does. ”
In 2015, the movie "Qi Gong" began to be filmed, and Xie Yunshan took the initiative to gain weight in order to better present the effect of the characters.
In a short period of time, Xie Yunshan successfully gained fifteen pounds.
But the filming process was unsatisfactory, and Xie Yunshan was often called to stop by the director due to acting problems.
"Jingle Bell, you need to look back and laugh when we get here. ”
is such a performance that is not difficult to say, but Xie Yunshan was stumped, paused over and over again, the director's words were like needles, deeply pierced into Xie Yunshan's heart, and he panicked at that moment.
It wasn't until after the filming of this scene that he knew that the director was teaching him to act in another way, because only by experiencing this emotion can he show it in the play.
After the release of "Qi Gong", the film's achievements were also very mediocre, and everyone was extremely disappointed in Xie Yunshan's acting skills, no one expected that the cute and smart Tinker Bell in childhood was now a "greasy uncle".
The acting skills are not particularly outstanding, and the appearance is not eye-catching, and the reputation that Xie Yunshan saved in his childhood gradually disappeared.
In the next few years, Xie Yunshan's works did not improve, and a sense of powerlessness appeared in his heart, and he missed the days when he was a child star.
But time will never go back, the former "Tinker Bell" is gone, and the road of acting is impossible, so he changed careers and became a director.
In recent years, he has successively produced films and television such as "Soul Clinic" and "Electric Girl", but unfortunately these works are like ships sinking into the sea, and they have not stirred up a little wave.
Xie Yunshan's career is getting sluggish, and what makes people feel embarrassed is that his love life has not yet been settled.
I once had a girlfriend during college, but unfortunately as I gained weight, my girlfriend also abandoned him.
Seeing that the peers around him had found their other half, Xie Yunshan's parents also began to be anxious, from the initial verbal urging to leading Xie Yunshan out on a blind date.
"Mom, today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, what kind of blind date am I!"
"Why can't you go on a blind date, if you don't go out on a blind date today, you don't have dinner. ”
In this way, Xie Yunshan was forced by his parents to go on a blind date on the night of the first day of the Lunar New Year.
But even if he was in such a hurry to go on a blind date, Xie Yunshan still hadn't found a suitable other half.
If the conditions are good, he can't look down on Xie Yunshan, and if the conditions are poor, he doesn't look at the right eye, so Xie Yunshan has been single.
"Just find someone who is good for my parents. ”
This is Xie Yunshan's request for the other half of the future, in order to satisfy his parents' desire for his daughter-in-law, he even participated in CCTV's blind date program, but still got nothing.
Now 34-year-old Xie Yunshan is still struggling in the film and television industry, last year he starred in the horror movie "Stand-in Paper Man" was officially released, but unfortunately the effect is very average, costing more than 30 million, and the box office is only a few million.
epilogue
Looking back on the first half of Xie Yunshan's life, he was born with congenital diseases, and stepped into the showbiz after recovering accidentally.
Since childhood, he has been shining brightly, bringing laughter to the public with a milky tone, but unfortunately people will always grow up.
When he was a child, he was Tinker Bell, and when he grew up, he was Xie Yunshan, and the aura of childhood could not shine on him as an adult.
His life is like a modern version of Hurt Zhongyong.
A well-known child star ruined his future because of a moment of complacency.
Xie Yunshan was born to appreciate the most beautiful scenery, but unfortunately he rested on his laurels and turned himself into a mortal.
A moment of brilliance is not a success, only by constantly improving yourself can we go further and further on the road to success.
