Regrettable status quo
On the crowded streets, a figure looks particularly lonely and lonely. It is the actor Chen Chuang, who once had infinite scenery. He strolled alone through the familiar streets of his hometown, where the lintels of old houses were now unrecognizable.
Looking at all this, Chen Chuang's eyes couldn't help but moisten, and he said self-deprecatingly: "Hey, it seems that I have really become a completely lonely old man."
Chen Chuang's parents have long since passed away, and he is homeless and alone. His former wife Zhou Youjun, the beautiful actress who was five years younger than him, is now a stranger.
In 2015, the two broke up in a hurry, and their marriage ended without a hitch after only one year.
What could be more lonely and helpless in this world? After the divorce, Chen Chuang often chooses to travel around to escape loneliness for the time being.
But no matter how far you go, the loneliness in your heart always lingers. Now he has lost his former aura and glory, and it is difficult for him to gain a foothold in the film and television industry.
However, recalling the glorious moments of the past, the scene of winning the actor award still made Chen Chuang's heart palpitate. The glory of that moment once made him stand at the top, until today's vicissitudes and loneliness, he knows the impermanence of fate.
The arduous road to the north
The glory of the actor does not come from this, it all started a long, long time ago. Chen Chuang was born in an artistic family, and his father was a well-known local opera artist, who nurtured him since he was a child and gave him an innate talent for acting.
Young and talented, Chen Chuang gave up the opera skills taught by his father and insisted on entering the door of Beijing Film Academy. In order to realize his inner dream, he made unimaginable efforts.
During his time at the school, Chen Chuang was diligent and studious, arriving at the classroom first every day to start training, showing extraordinary perseverance with his actions, winning many awards and becoming a role model for his peers.
However, just when Chen Chuang was ready to show his talents, the first setback in his life came as promised.
Chen Chuang was suddenly hit hard, and every inch was in chaos. yes, I do look mediocre, and I can even say quite ugly. This cruel fact was like a basin of cold water poured on his head, hitting the young and vigorous Chen Chuang fiercely.
He began to waver, wondering if he was really suitable for the profession of actor? Wandering and confused inside.
During this low period, his mentor Zhang Guoli grabbed Chen Chuang in time and gave him full care and guidance. Director Zhang personally taught him: "If you wait until you are 30 years old, you will naturally have a place for you."
Receiving the affirmation of his mentor, Chen Chuangfu ignited his fighting spirit again. Since then, he has worked harder and harder, and finally embarked on the road of acting step by step with the help of Zhang Guoli.
Despite the ups and downs along the way, Chen Chuang's love for the acting career has taken root in his heart. Whether there are thorns or flowers ahead, he will walk alone. This indomitable tenacity and perseverance eventually achieved the glory that followed.
A turning point in life
The turning point of fate was long overdue. In 2004, the highly anticipated TV series "Baolian Lantern" was in full swing, and the crew searched for suitable actors everywhere, but no one was willing to play the important role of "Howling Sky Dog".
This is a big production that gathers powerful actors such as Shu Chang, Liu Xiaoqing, and You Benchang, and every scene is the highlight.
Just when the crew had nothing to do, a little-known young actor Chen Chuang was recommended. "Let me play a dog? How is that possible!" Initially, Chen Chuang directly rejected the role.
Chen Chuang was silent, he knew that Director Zhang's cruel words were provoking him forward. So, he began to study the habits of dogs tirelessly, and worked tirelessly to create this character.
During the filming, he braved the scorching heat and wore a one-piece dog with his head tight, and performed hard, and finally succeeded in interpreting the "Roaring Dog" vividly.
In this way, a small supporting role turned out to be the beginning of Chen Chuang's later popularity. This is not the end, in the same year, he successively starred in the role of "Fugui" in the TV series adapted from Yu Hua's novel "Alive".
With this opportunity to lead the starring role, Chen Chuang finally shined and won the nomination for Best Actor at the Shanghai Film Festival in one fell swoop, and single-handedly led the whole work perfectly.
The two classics were released in turn, and Chen Chuang's acting skills were finally shown in front of the audience, and his ordinary appearance was also well known. From an unknown actor to a rising star who became popular overnight, Chen Chuang interpreted the true meaning of "unlimited potential in life" with practical actions.
Bumpy married life
The glory of the actor certainly makes Chen Chuang full of joy, but life is not always smooth sailing. In 2014, Chen Chuang announced the good news that he was about to enter the palace of marriage.
His wife Zhou Youjun is also a talented actress, and her appearance is even more beautiful and moving, and she has starred in many well-known TV series such as "Suo Lin Bag" and "Tears of the Barren Mountain".
The two know each other, and they seem to be the best couple, and they are in love. Chen Chuang generously announced his marriage, and the happiness and pride at that time can be seen.
Divorce is a trauma for anyone, not to mention that the person concerned is a high-profile film and television star. Since then, Chen Chuang has remained single and has not had a good couple so far.
The failure of his marriage is undoubtedly a big regret in his life, which made the once glorious actor fall into the haze of loneliness again.
Career bottlenecks
It can be said that Chen Chuang's life can be called dramatic. Just when he won the actor crown with the two classic roles of "Roaring Sky Dog" and "Fugui", people thought that he had started a new journey in life and was finally about to usher in the peak of his career.
Unexpectedly, at this juncture, Chen Chuang's acting career has a mystery.
Although he is already a powerful actor, his mediocre appearance has still become a stumbling block for him to move towards a higher stage. One by one, heavyweight roles slipped from in front of him, all because the directors bluntly said: "Chen Chuang's appearance is too bad, and it is difficult to gain the audience's favor."
This is simply the biggest irony and insult to an actor. Faced with such a dilemma, Chen Chuang was powerless and could only accept those not very brilliant roles.
Gradually, he felt more and more the gap between him and other actors.
As Chen Chuang's old rival, Jiao Enjun's acting career can be described as singing all the way. In the same year, the two of them made their first star career because of their appearance in the drama "Baolian Lantern", but Jiao Enjun quickly became popular all over the country with his elegant and handsome appearance.
In contrast, Chen Chuang has been obscure.
Back then, Jiao Enjun became popular for his outstanding performance in the play, and has since become a household name. He is known as one of the "Four Beauties of the World", and his image is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
At the same time, Louis Koo and others are also well-known and well-known in the entertainment industry. People are even hotly discussing the good story of "South Jiao and North Gu", and Jiao Enjun and Louis Koo are listed as top superstars in the film industry.
However, in comparison, the character image created by Chen Chuang is also extremely classic, and his strength is also widely recognized. However, just because his appearance is too ordinary, he has been obscure, it is difficult to gain a foothold in the film and television industry, and it is useless to get a new role.
Although he is already a decent actor, reality has ruthlessly dragged him into the class of nobodies.
