In the Chinese film and television circle, Chen Baoguo's name can be described as well-known. As a highly regarded artist, his professionalism and superb acting skills have long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. However, what few people know is that Chen Yuemo, the son of this actor-level actor, has had quite a bumpy road on the road of acting.
Chen Baoguo is well aware of the hardships of the entertainment industry, and initially did not agree to let his son step into this industry. For the sake of his son's future, he sent Chen Yuemo to study in the United Kingdom before he finished junior high school.
At the end of the young Chen Yuemo, with confusion about the future and awe of his father, he embarked on the road of studying in a foreign country.
After returning to China, Chen Yuemo tried a variety of jobs, but always felt that something was missing. His love for the performing arts has long since taken root. After much deliberation, he decided to follow his heart's call and expressed his desire to enter the entertainment industry to his father.
Facing his son's eager eyes, Chen Baoguo's heart was mixed. He is well aware of the cruelty of this industry, but he is unwilling to kill his son's dreams. After some deliberation, he chose to support his son's decision.
In order to let Chen Yuemo gradually understand the industry, Chen Baoguo arranged for him to work as an assistant director in a drama starring him.
By chance, there happened to be a character in the crew who was vacant. Chen Yuemo seized this opportunity and took the initiative to recommend himself to the director. When Chen Baoguo saw his son change into an actor's costume and appear on the set, he couldn't help but be surprised.
He saw the firmness in his son's eyes, which was the same persistence as himself.
In this way, Chen Yuemo stepped into the showbiz and began his career as an actor. However, he didn't know that what awaited him was a long journey full of challenges and questions. As the "second generation of stars", he not only has to face the high demands of the audience, but also strives to get rid of the shroud of his father's halo and find his own position.
As Chen Yuemo officially stepped into the showbiz, Chen Baoguo began to consciously take his son to participate in various works. The father's intentions were evident – he wanted to use his resources and experience to pave the way for his son to avoid detours.
After all, Chen Baoguo's status in the circle is already a "well-known" figure, and the quality of the scripts he receives will naturally not be bad.
However, the reality slapped them hard, and Chen Yuemo's performance was, in the words of the audience, "indescribable". His expression is stiff, his movements are exaggerated, his eyes are always staring, and he doesn't seem to have inherited his father's acting genes.
The way he performs in every play is the same, which is staring.
When the father and son were in the same frame, the stark contrast exposed Chen Yuemo's shortcomings and made people laugh. Chen Baoguo's every look is full of stories, and every action is full of tension, but Chen Yuemo, who is standing beside him, is like a "spiritual guy" who is ignorant of the world, exuding an incongruous atmosphere all over his body.
This gap is not only reflected in the acting skills, but even the appearance has become a point of complaint for the audience. Although both father and son are standard thick eyebrows and big eyes, Chen Baoguo's eyebrows reveal a "sense of story", while Chen Yuemo's eyebrows are sharp, and the whole person looks a little "thief".
Netizens began to joke: "Even if it's an elm pimple, it's time to open up." Although this sentence sounds harsh, it speaks to the hearts of many people. In the past ten works, Chen Yuemo's acting skills have not improved at all, which can't help but make people wonder if he is really suitable for this competitive stage.
Faced with the flood of doubts, Chen Baoguo chose to remain silent. He is well aware that it takes time and hone for an actor to grow and improve his performance. He is convinced that as long as his son does not give up, he will one day shine of his own.
What Chen Baoguo can do is to continue to create opportunities for his son and let him continue to grow in practice.
This father-son experience on the same stage is both an opportunity and a challenge for Chen Yuemo. On the one hand, he is fortunate to participate in high-quality film and television works and gain valuable experience; However, on the other hand, he had to face the huge gap with his father and endure the doubts and ridicule of the audience.
This situation has been going on for about 12 years, and Chen Yuemo's performance has always been tepid, and the only thing the audience can notice is that he and his father are "inseparable". In these long years, what kind of mental journey has Chen Yuemo experienced? Did he ever doubt his choice? These questions may only be known to him in his own heart.
Under the pressure of years of constant doubts and criticism, Chen Yuemo finally realized that he could not really grow up by hiding under his father's aura. He made a key decision - to change his name to Chen Yicheng.
This seemingly simple act seemed to open the door to a new world for him.
Soon after changing his name, Chen Yicheng waited for a turning point in his career. He received a challenging role in the TV series "Pearl River Family". The inner drama of this character is very rich, the emotional span is huge, and the requirements for acting skills are extremely high.
In the TV series "Pearl River Family", Chen Yicheng will play a very complex role. The character is very selfish at the beginning and even turns his back on the country and runs away from home in order to pursue his dreams.
However, in the later episode, he realized that he was actually used by Japan's "small day", and became an "accomplice" of the invading country without realizing it.
This role requires the actor to have excellent emotional expression skills. What is surprising is that Chen Yicheng's performance in this drama is reborn, he accurately grasps the emotional changes of the character, and shows the inner struggle and growth vividly through delicate expressions and movements.
The young guy who used to only stare seems to have grown into a mature actor who can control the role freely overnight. He plays this complex character perfectly, revealing the inner world of the character.
As soon as "Pearl River People" was broadcast, the audience exclaimed: Is this still the end of Chen Yuemo? The praise came like a tide, and Chen Yicheng finally tasted the long-lost praise. His performance in this drama immediately won praise and praise from the audience.
At this moment, Chen Yicheng felt the dawn of hope, and his persistence and hard work for so many years finally paid off. He is no longer the "second generation star" hiding under his father's halo, but has won the recognition of the audience with his strength and has become a real actor.
Chen Yicheng's transformation is not only the change of name, but also the growth of his heart and inner maturity. This success rekindled his love and confidence in acting. Of course, this is the moment he has been waiting for to "keep the clouds open and see the moon".
During the filming of "Yue Wang Goujian", Chen Baoguo insisted on completing an extremely dangerous action scene regardless of his own safety. The scene took a heavy toll on his body, and the impact of his steed caused him to break three ribs in a comminuted manner.
But even so, he still insisted on completing the shooting.
During the filming of "Old Farmer", Chen Baoguo showed his professionalism. In order to get closer to the character, he applied a lot of makeup to his face, causing severe skin allergies and his eyes were so swollen that he could barely open them.
Despite this, he continued to shoot and did not go to the hospital until two months later.
In the face of malicious comments on his son on the Internet, Chen Baoguo chose to remain silent, because he knew that real growth must go through ups and downs, and what he could do was to lend a helping hand to his son when he needed it, shelter him from the wind and rain, and at the same time give him the space to grow independently.
Chen Baoguo's support is not only reflected in his spirit, but also in his practical actions. He will take his son with him when he takes over the show, trying to create more opportunities in this way.
Even if his son's performance was not as expected, he never gave up and always believed that his son would make a breakthrough one day.
This kind of silent love, like a big mountain, gives Chen Yicheng endless strength. With the solid backing of his father, Chen Yicheng was able to continue to move forward in the midst of setbacks, and finally ushered in his own spring.
Chen Baoguo used his own actions to interpret the true meaning of "parents love their sons, and they have far-reaching plans for them", paving a solid road for his son's growth.
Since Chen Yicheng's outstanding performance in "Pearl River Family", his relationship with his father has undergone subtle changes. Once "strangers", they have become intimate because of a common cause.
In fact, before Chen Yicheng stepped into the entertainment industry, his relationship with his father can be said to be very estranged.
This estrangement comes from Chen Baoguo's long-term dedication to the work of the crew, and Chen Yicheng is also concentrating on studying abroad, so the two have very little time together and are not very close.
However, after Chen Yicheng began to act with his father in the play, he deeply realized the profound meaning of "father's love is like a mountain".
In this process, Chen Yicheng began to deeply understand his father's good intentions. He saw that his father chose to turn a blind eye in the face of malicious comments on the Internet, and just wanted to avoid "detours" for himself.
This kind of wordless dedication made Chen Yicheng deeply feel the true meaning of the sentence "Parents love their children, and they have far-reaching plans".
When Chen Baoguo faced the success of his son Chen Yicheng in "Pearl River People", he didn't dance, but just said indifferently "good". However, Chen Yicheng knows that these three simple words contain how pleased and proud he is.
This restrained emotional expression and calm style are Chen Baoguo's consistent style.
Today's Chen Yicheng has gained a firm foothold in the entertainment industry. He is no longer the "second generation star" who hides under his father's halo, but has won the recognition of the audience with his strength.
This 12-year growth process not only allowed him to reap career success, but also made him deeply appreciate the greatness of his father's love.
The relationship between father and son has undergone a qualitative leap, from the initial state of estrangement, to mutual understanding in working together, and then to mutual appreciation and support today. This precious experience is undoubtedly one of the most valuable treasures of their lives.
