The entertainment industry is such a magical place, and you can fall from heaven to hell if you are not careful. Recently, there is a director's experience that is more exciting than a roller coaster, and I can't help but sigh: This guy is too miserable!
According to the data, in the past five years, there have been more than 50 directors whose works have not been able to be broadcast for various reasons. However, there is a director's experience that is simply jaw-dropping. Not to mention an ordinary director, even Wang Jun, who is known as the "unlucky egg", is considered a lucky person in front of him!
Who is this "miserable" director? He is Gao Yijun!
From rookie to big guy, Gao Yijun took 15 years
Do you still remember the Hong Kong dramas we chased in those years? That's right, Gao Yijun fought his way out of the encirclement from that era. When he first started in the industry, he started as a chore, just like all newcomers. Scene reporters, assistant directors, do all kinds of work. However, God rewarded hard work, and he finally waited for his opportunity.
In 2002, "The Son of Heaven" was born, which established Gao Yijun's status in the circle in one fell swoop. At that time, Huang Xiaoming was still a young man, who would have thought that he would now become a representative of "greasy uncle"? Time, you're such a "pig-killing knife"!
Gao Yijun, who was at his peak, was simply hanging
By 2014, Gao Yijun could be said to be proud of the spring breeze and had a horse's hoof. "The Legend of Wu Meiniang" became an instant hit, and although Fan Bingbing's "big-headed doll" style was complained about, the ratings were still outstanding. This drama directly won the Huading Award "Audience's Favorite TV Series", and Gao Yijun's status can be described as stable as Mount Tai.
However, who would have thought that this would turn out to be his last glory? Since then, he has turned on the "unlucky mode", which is even more powerful than opening the hanging!
Twist of fate: None of the 8 years of filming can be broadcast, this is too miserable, right?
In 2016, Gao Yijun confidently prepared to shoot three TV series. However, the heavens do not fulfill people's wishes!
The first is "Jade Lovers", the combination of Zheng Shuang and Lee Jong Suk was originally quite exciting. The result was good, first the "Korean Restriction Order" was introduced, and Lee Jong Suk was unable to act. Immediately afterwards, Zheng Shuang broke out the "Generation Y" turmoil, and this drama was completely cool.
Then there is "Cranberry Green Rose", the male protagonist is Qiao Zhenyu, one of the "Four Beauties of the World", and the female protagonist is Yao Di. As a result, because of Yao Di's previous scandal, the audience didn't buy it, and this drama has not been broadcast until now.
Finally, "Winning the World", starring Fan Bingbing, is claimed to have an investment of 5 billion. As a result, because of the costume controversy and the actor's overturn, the show was stillborn.
The three dramas were all wiped out, and Gao Yijun's luck was gone! Could it be that you have offended some kind of immortal?
To hold on or to give up? Gao Yijun's choice is admirable
If it were me, I might have changed my career to sell sweet potatoes a long time ago. But Gao Yijun still insists on his dream of directing. From 2017 to 2021, he filmed several more dramas one after another, including "Our Southwest Associated University", "Huanxi Sha" and "Su Ji".
However, the fate of these dramas does not seem to be very good. Either it has been squeezed for many years and cannot be broadcast, or there is no news so far. Gao Yijun's luck is really breathtaking! Could it be that he owed someone eight million in his previous life?
Restart: Can "The Year of China" become a turnaround?
Recently, director Gao Yijun's new work "Spending the Year of China" has finally been broadcast. This drama won the ratings championship as soon as it was launched, and it seems that the audience is still looking forward to Director Gao.
However, some attentive viewers found that some of the camera designs of this show are a bit strange. For example, in the scene where the heroine wears a veil, it is clear that Zhao Jinmai's eyes are very beautiful, why do you deliberately cover them? Is it cosplaying the Masked Singer?
However, considering that it only took 4 months for this show to be broadcast from finalization, it is already very good to have such an effect. I hope that Director Gao can rise again this time and don't be "unlucky" again! After all, the entertainment industry has enough volumes, but don't come to another "unlucky leader"!
What does Gao Yijun's experience teach us?
First of all, the entertainment industry is really a place full of uncertainty. You never know what's going to happen in the next second. is still a hot director today, but tomorrow he may become an "unlucky egg" that no one cares about. So, if you want to enter the industry, please think twice!
Secondly, it is really important to choose who to work with. Many of Gao Yijun's works could not be broadcast, largely because of problems with the actors. Therefore, the director really has to be cautious when casting. Don't look at the many fans of those traffic stars, in case it overturns one day, your work will also be buried with you!
Finally, no matter what difficulties you encounter, you must stick to your dreams. Although Gao Yijun experienced an 8-year trough, he still did not give up. This kind of spirit is really worth learning from. After all, in this world, there is no end to being miserable, but perseverance always pays off one day.
For director Gao Yijun, I hope that "Spending the Year of China" can become his turnaround. After all, a 30-year career as a director should not end like this. Let's look forward to his future together! Maybe, he can become a "comeback" textbook in the entertainment industry!
In conclusion, I would like to say that both directors and actors should cherish the hard-won opportunity. After all, in this ever-changing entertainment industry, no one knows who the next "Gao Yijun" will be. So, go ahead and cherish it!
