When it comes to "Sanmao Wandering", many people will immediately appear in front of their eyes an image - a small boy with a big nose and thin eyebrows, only three strands of thin and pulled hair in front of his forehead, he is ragged, gray-headed and dirty,but his eyes are shining with extra brilliance.
He is the protagonist of the classic TV series "Sanmao Wandering", the wandering child who lives in the streets and alleys of Shanghai.
The TV series "Sanmao Wanderer" was launched in 1996, 25 years have passed, and the children who watched the TV series at that time have grown up, but they always feel that "Sanmao" will always be the child in the memory, in fact, Meng Zhichao, the actor of "Sanmao", is now a 34-year-old adult.
In recent years, he has become active as an actor, evoking the youth memories of many people. Recently, Meng Zhichao posted a video on the social platform, the video is some photos of him from childhood to adulthood, he also captioned: Not that I am narcissistic, I think I am not disabled, what do you think?
Arrange these photos together, only to find that time flies, the little boy who was originally a tiger is now a very mature adult, just like Meng Zhichao himself said, although he is not a big handsome guy after adulthood, he can be regarded as a clear eyebrow, compared with some disabled child stars, it is already very good.
Meng Zhichao and the look of his childhood has hardly changed much, or with his big watery eyes, muttering, slightly innocent, but it is very in line with the popular "little milk dog" style, a baby face can not see that he is a 34-year-old person.
The comments under this dynamic are also all praise Meng Zhichao, netizens said that they did not expect that the cute Sanmao grew up to be quite handsome, it seems to be to return to the actor industry and continue to develop.
In fact, Meng Zhichao has not given up his dream of being an actor for many years, and after graduating from the Shanghai Theater Academy, he has been trying to get himself on the right track.
In 2014, Meng Zhichao participated in a comedy variety show - "Smiling Proud of the River", and he played "Sanmao" again on the stage.
The same makeup, the same plot, the effect did not meet expectations, not only the audience response was flat, even the judge Song Dandan could not help but "hit" Meng Zhichao, bluntly saying that he could not think of playing a lifetime of Sanmao, so there would never be a breakthrough. Saying this, it is almost not directly said that Meng Zhichao is selling feelings and eating the old book.
After this incident, Meng Zhichao was at ease acting, although the sense of existence is not strong, he often shares his life through social platforms, and said that he is still an actor and will not give up his dreams.
It seems that most child stars will encounter problems similar to "hurting Zhongyong", with the increase of age, the appearance is no longer, the image is solidified, the role filter is gradually disappearing, and it is more difficult to re-walk the road of the actor, but they are partial to abandon, do not give up, is to go to the black.
For example, Lin Miaoke, an Olympic girl, is more rounded when she grows up, and her round face and round eyes when she was a child are no longer an advantage. However, she still insisted on studying acting, and did not enter Nortel and Chinese opera, so she retreated to the second choice of the performance major of Nanjing University of the Arts. Although he also became a science class, there were not many dramas, and Lin Miaoke's future was also confused.
But the example of child star counterattack is not completely absent, the most typical is Yang Zi, who is also evaluated as "long disabled", and is also said by Song Dandan that he is not beautiful, it is not recommended to be an actor, Yang Zi is trying to lose weight and improve his appearance, and he has become the current top flower by relying on acting skills, and has come to a complete headwind reversal.
There are also child stars such as Xiao Tong and Zhang Yishan, and the acting career is still thriving. Therefore, it cannot be completely said that child stars are hopeless, perhaps Meng Zhichao will be transformed into a big red in a few years?
Sanmao is definitely a good childhood memory for the audience, but it has gradually become a problem for Meng Zhichao. He said more than once in the show that he was said by the director that there was always a shadow of Sanmao, and he also mentioned that because of the glue on Sanmao's forehead, he had suffered from hair loss.
It can be seen that Meng Zhichao very much wants to get rid of the label of "Sanmao" and become a real actor. I wish Meng Zhichao can realize his dream as soon as possible and get the recognition of the audience.
