Stepping into the dazzling and flashy entertainment industry, every move of the stars has attracted the attention and followers of the world. Fans are as frenetic as they are curious about idols and are looking forward to learning more about their daily lives.
However, there are also some "special" roles hidden under the stage of this industry - these characters are not locked in the dream of being actors from a young age, but come from different professional backgrounds, and then choose to embark on that long and twisty road to acting.
In the end, with their outstanding acting talents and unwavering pursuit of ideals, they have achieved extremely outstanding results on this road, which is eye-catching. Their life journey is like a drama full of passion, which deeply touches the hearts of the audience.
What motivates them to move forward? What motivated them to finally realize their dreams? Next, let's uncover the growth stories of these five "halfway monks" actors, explore the reasons, feel their emotional changes, and appreciate their perseverance and unremitting pursuit.
2. He Jiajin: From a corpse mover to a well-known actor
He Jiajin, who is only 34 years old, successfully created the role of "Zhanzhao" with his superb performance in the TV series "Youth Bao Qingtian", and became popular all over the country overnight and became a household name.
He Jiajin's family was poor since he was a child, and after his parents divorced, he was sentenced to be raised by his mother. At that time, the mother who was alone with her son was living in poverty. In order to share his mother's burden, He Jiajin began to work to earn money since he was a child, studying and working hard to make ends meet.
Despite the hardships of life, this hard-working and studious child always cherished a dream and longed to one day be able to step out of his hometown and realize his self-worth in the wider world. Finally, he waited for an opportunity to leave Hong Kong to study, but due to lack of travel expenses, he almost missed this rare opportunity.
In order to raise enough money for the journey as soon as possible, He Jiajin did not hesitate to choose such a creepy job as a corpse mover. In that eerie environment, carrying corpses was undoubtedly torture, and even companions could not help but feel fear.
What's more, He Jiajin is doing this work alone, and this job alone is enough to discourage most people.
However, the blazing dream in his heart was burning, and He Jiajin resolutely chose to grit his teeth and bravely persevere! Despite the harsh working conditions, the pay was good, and it wasn't long before he managed to save up the money he needed to study in the UK.
So, full of yearning for a better future, he embarked on a distant journey with his dreams.
After returning to China after completing his studies, He Jiajin, like many young generations, firmly decided to devote himself to the acting career. However, this path has not been easy, he has suffered numerous setbacks, and even in the drama in which he plays the leading role, he can only play a supporting role in obscurity behind the scenes, enduring injustice and oppression.
However, he never wavered in his determination and was always patiently waiting for his own opportunity to come.
Finally, when he was 34 years old, He Jiajin got the precious opportunity to participate in "Young Bao Qingtian", and became an instant hit with the role of "Zhanzhao" and won everyone's attention.
After 12 years of hard work, he finally ushered in his glorious moment, his efforts were duly rewarded, and he saw the dawn of realizing his dream.
3. Feng Jiayi: The "accidental" actor behind the identity of the rich
When it comes to Feng Jiayi, people have heard of this figure who is known as "a unique existence in the entertainment industry". However, how many people could have expected that this actor with highly acclaimed acting skills would also have the identity of a billionaire with a net worth of billions? His original intention of stepping into the showbiz was a pure accident.
At the age of 14, Feng Jiayi began his first study abroad career. He studied in a foreign country for 7 years until he successfully completed his studies at the age of 23. Soon after graduating, Feng Jiayi showed extraordinary talent and earned the first pot of gold in her life with her own efforts.
Subsequently, in anticipation of his family, he returned to his home country to take over the family business, venturing into the hotel industry and eventually founding his own hotel chain empire.
Whenever asked about the challenging entrepreneurial journey, Fung always responds in a flat tone: "It's boring, it's simple, and there's nothing special about it." However, for ordinary people, they can't imagine the hardships and hardships he experienced in the early days of his business.
2006, a seemingly ordinary year, turned out to be a crucial turning point in Feng Jiayi's life. At that time, with the enthusiastic invitation and encouragement of a friend, Fung Jiayi, who had already achieved a career success, made a jaw-dropping decision to try a cameo role, even if the scene was just an impromptu performance he had carefully prepared for his friend.
However, who would have expected that this play, which was originally only performed for friends, would become the starting point of Feng Jiayi's acting career. Although the crew arranged many roles for him, he interpreted them vividly and deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
His superb acting skills made the director team full of praise and left a deep impression on this fledgling new actor.
Since then, Fung has gradually become fascinated by the charm of filmmaking. Whether playing a variety of roles such as a gangster, a doctor, or a lawyer, he can always handle it with ease and win the love of a wide audience.
Even the famous actor Haiqing couldn't help but sigh: "He has not received professional acting training, but he can perform so well, which really makes us industry insiders feel a lot of pressure!" ”。
As a wealthy businessman, Feng Jiayi has shown an extraordinary demeanor in the entertainment industry. Some people questioned that his salary was not even enough to pay for refueling, and some people thought that he only participated in the movie because the box lunch provided by the crew was more delicious than abalone.
However, no matter what the outside world says, this actor, who originally belonged to the "unexpected joy", has won wide recognition inside and outside the industry.
Part 4: Wang Ting: Transformed from a criminal police officer to a first-line tough guy actor
When the audience enjoys the image of that heroic and fearless tough guy on the screen, I am afraid it is difficult to connect him with Wang Ting in real life.
At the age of 16, Wang Ting stepped into the gate of the public security school as a sports student and began his police career. After graduating, he was assigned to Haikou City, Hainan Province to engage in grassroots policing work.
Despite being far from home, having a stable job and a good income is undoubtedly a dream of a good life for many.
A few years later, with his excellent work performance, Wang Ting was finally transferred back to the capital Beijing as he wished. Being in a front-line position, coupled with having an iron rice bowl, this is undoubtedly a career development that countless people envy.
However, Wang Ting was not satisfied with this, he deeply felt that this kind of life was too ordinary and unremarkable, and he urgently needed to seek a new breakthrough.
Just when he was deeply confused about the direction of his future life, the god of fate once again reached out to him, and he accidentally met a well-known director, thus stepping into the vast world of show business.
However, he was initially hesitant to choose this career, because once he chose to become an actor, it would mean that he would have to give up his original stable job, and he was full of worries that his family might not be able to give him full understanding and support immediately.
After repeated thinking, Wang Ting finally decided to hold back the throbbing in his heart for the time being and devote himself to his own work. It was not until the year 2,000 that the pointer of fate changed dramatically, completely rewriting the course of his life.
That year, his father's business failed, and the family was left with a pile of huge debts, in order to repay these debts as soon as possible, Wang Ting had to make up his mind, resolutely resigned from his position as a civil servant, and devoted himself to his acting career.
Since then, he has started a new chapter in his life. In order to earn enough money to pay off his debts, Wang Ting is fully committed to any arrangement of the crew, never picky, and is willing to try no matter what kind of role.
In this way, he gradually accumulated a wealth of acting experience on the new stage.
Finally, Lady Luck favored him, and one day in the year 2,000, Wang Ting ushered in an important turning point in his career. He successfully starred in the TV series "Six Groups of Serious Cases", and became a household name overnight with the image of the heroic and mighty "Ding Jian" in the play.
Since then, his tough and resolute tough guy image has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, making Wang Ting a "soldier" tough guy spokesperson in the minds of the audience. Whenever he hears praise from others, he always humbly shakes his head and smiles, because deep down in his heart, he is more eager to break this fixed impression with his superb acting skills and let more people see his all-round talent.
However, Mr. Zhang Hanyu is not a newborn calf who dreams of becoming a shining performance artist on the screen. When he stepped into the film industry, he did not hesitate to dedicate his passion to the field of dubbing art, devoting himself to this seemingly mysterious "behind-the-scenes" world.
In his youth, Zhang Hanyu was obsessed with dubbing work, and even if his family broke with him due to dissatisfaction, it failed to shake his firm belief and fiery enthusiasm for this profession. Since then, with his excellent voice acting skills, Zhang Hanyu has successfully earned the first fortune in his life and purchased a dream motorcycle for himself.
In the long years that followed, whether it was "Three Thousand Miles to Find My Mother", "The Godfather", or the animated version of "Journey to the West", "The Lord of the Rings" and other blockbusters, the audience could always listen to Zhang Hanyu's rich and charming voice.
He uses his unique voice to give all kinds of characters fresh life.
However, when what was originally a pure hobby is transformed into a means of earning a living, it is inevitable that a sense of exhaustion and boredom will arise, and Zhang Hanyu is no exception. After careful consideration, he resolutely decided to take a brave step - from behind the scenes to the front of the stage, and started his career as a film and television actor.
In order to be able to stand in the spotlight, Zhang Hanyu tirelessly ran around, but due to his lack of experience and network resources, he could only start from those obscure small roles.
Despite this, he never relaxed his attitude towards each character, and remained fully engaged in shaping the character's character and inner world.
Just as people are gradually forgetting about this former master of voice acting, an unexpected opportunity creeps in. In 2007, Feng Xiaogang's film "Assembly" was looking for a suitable actor, and at that time, all the candidates had emerged, only the male number one "Guzidi" was still undecided.
A large number of actors came to audition, but they were never able to find the person who could perfectly interpret the image of a tough guy. Seeing that director Feng Xiaogang was anxious about this, Zhang Hanyu stepped forward without hesitation.
At first, Director Feng still had doubts in his heart, but in the end, the words of producer Wang Zhongjun made him firm in his determination to choose Zhang Hanyu as the male lead.
The following plot progression undoubtedly constitutes the passionate climactic passage of the story. Zhang Han's superb acting skills showed outstanding performance in this film, which made him win the highest honor of the Academy Award for Best Actor, and thus jumped up and transformed into a hot domestic first-line film giant, and the shining and brilliant life also kicked off at this moment! .
People sighed heartily: "He is the best among the actors, and he is the leader in the dubbing industry; At the same time, he is also an outstanding representative of voice actors, and his acting skills are outstanding. ”
