Chen He's star journey from obscurity to "national good boyfriend".
Before the broadcast of "Love Apartment", Chen He was just an unknown actor in the entertainment industry. However, this youth idol drama had a drastic impact on his life and became the superstar he is today.
By playing the role of Zeng Xiaoxian, Chen He gorgeously jumped to the list of big stars in the limelight.
Zeng Xiaoxian's line in the play - "A good man is me, I am Zeng Xiaoxian" has deeply touched countless audiences, and also made Chen He establish the image of a "peerless good man" in the minds of the audience.
His sunshine, humor, and emphasis on friendship have become typical characteristics of Chen He in real life.
Chen He seized this opportunity and began to carefully shape his "good man" character.
In order to maintain and enhance his positive image, Chen He even published an emotional biography "Keeping is called Love". This book not only describes in detail his understanding and views on love, but also successfully conveys the important message to the public that he is an affectionate and trustworthy man.
In variety shows, Chen He frequently showed his love for his wife and family, making his image of a "good man" more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Chen He's well-crafted persona has brought him great commercial value. With the continuous invitations to variety shows and movie offers one after another, Chen He's career has achieved remarkable success.
With the help of this shareholder wind, his career is in full swing, and the spring breeze is proud.
However, just when Chen He was in the limelight, a storm suddenly hit. Unexpectedly, this "good man" who once talked about the concept of loyalty and credibility and "love is only called if you can keep it" fell into the whirlpool of cheating scandals.
It is very amazing that he abandoned his first girlfriend, the person who has been with him for many years, and even quickly married and had children, which is too shocking.
This series of incidents has seriously affected Chen He's diligent image of a "good man", and his former fans have also begun to turn back, and social media is full of criticism and disappointment for him.
Chen He's public image has suffered a serious blow, and his image as a good national boyfriend has completely collapsed.
However, despite such negative news, unexpectedly, Chen He's career has not been fatally affected, and he can still gain a foothold in the entertainment industry, what unknown forces are behind him supporting him? Chen He's story seems to be far from over.
2. The haze under Chen He's career and controversy
As Chen He's popularity grew, his business territory gradually expanded. By using his star resources, he founded the chain hot pot brand "Xianhezhuang". The brand quickly opened branches across the country and became an important part of Chen He's business map.
At meal time, there is always a long queue in front of Xianhezhuang, and diners want to see what is unique about this hot pot restaurant owned by celebrities.
However, behind this flowery scene, there are many worrying questions. Although Xianhezhuang is doing a prosperous business, it often breaks out all kinds of negative news. Some customers reported that the hot pot they tasted in Xianhezhuang tasted bland, and there was nothing special about it compared to other ordinary hot pot restaurants, but the price was ridiculously high.
This kind of "high price and low quality" business strategy has caused strong dissatisfaction among consumers.
To make matters worse, there has also been an explosion at the bottom of a pot in Xianhezhuang, which caused customers who ate food to be burned. This safety incident not only caused pain to the injured customers, but also had a negative impact on the brand image of Xianhezhuang.
It stands to reason that a serious problem like this is likely to affect Xianhezhuang's business, and may even lead to the closure of the store.
However, the truth is surprising. Despite the negative news, Xianhezhuang's business is still booming, and it has not been greatly affected, let alone seized. This kind of "immunity" makes people wonder if there is some kind of powerful force behind Chen He's business empire.
Just when people thought that Chen He was just a small storm on the road of his career, a bigger storm quietly came. The "good man" who once publicly said that "only if you can keep it is called love" turned out to be caught in a cheating scandal.
What's even more shocking is that he not only broke up with his first girlfriend who had been dating for many years, but also immediately married and had children with his scandal partner.
Chen He's carefully created image of a good man collapsed due to a series of incidents, which made fans who once praised him to the sky turn against him. Social media is full of abuse and frustration against him.
In an era of increasingly strict moral requirements for celebrities, Chen He's behavior has touched the minimum tolerance of the public.
It should be said that the scale and nature of such serious negative news alone are enough to deal a fatal blow to Chen He's career. In this entertainment industry where "overnight popularity" may also "fall overnight", this kind of scandal is often enough to make a star's popularity plummet and fade out of the public eye.
Surprisingly, Chen He's career was not hit hard by this incident.
Although Chen He's number of fans has decreased significantly, he is still doing well in the entertainment industry, although the number of activities and business invitations has decreased, but it has not been completely interrupted.
Chen He's story is far more complicated than it seems on the surface, and there are many hidden glooms. In the face of controversy, how did he both maneuver and resolve it? The answers to these questions may find clues in Chen He's family background.
3. Strong family protection: the backer behind Chen He
Chen He's family background is revealed, and everything seems to have an answer, he is not as self-made as he seems on the outside, in fact, he comes from a prominent artistic family.
Chen He's family background has provided strong support for his development in the entertainment industry.
First of all, Chen He's father has a very important position in the circle. He is a national senior arts manager and a well-known producer, and he has produced many high-profile works such as "Good Pregnancy".
With such a background, Chen He's start in the entertainment industry can be described as smooth sailing.
Chen He's mother, Hu Xiaoling, also has outstanding achievements in the art world, is a national first-class actor, and also holds an important position as a director of the Chinese Dramatists Association.
What's more worth mentioning is that Hu Xiaoling used to be the director of the Fujian People's Art Theater, and now she is the artistic director. With such a family background, Chen He had more resources and opportunities than most people at the beginning of his career.
However, the influence of the Chen He family goes far beyond that. He also has several influential relatives in the entertainment industry. Among them, the most eye-catching is Chen He's cousin, the famous director Chen Kaige.
Although the word "table" does not seem to reflect the closeness of relatives, it should not be difficult to help support one's nephew.
It is understood that "Counting Ducks", which is almost a national children's song, turned out to be the work of Chen He's maternal uncle Hu Xiaohuan. As a childhood memory of Chinese, the creator of this nursery rhyme has a close relationship with Chen He's family, which fully proves the deep roots of Chen He's family in the literary and artistic world.
Chen He's family atmosphere is full of artistic atmosphere, almost covering the entire entertainment industry. The status of his parents and the influence of his relatives have provided him with strong resource support for his development in the entertainment industry.
It is precisely because of such a strong family background that Chen He's career development has been solidly backed.
Standing on the shoulders of such a giant, Chen He's starting point was unusually high. Even if he encounters negative news reports, with such a strong family as the backing, he stands tall in the entertainment industry.
This may be the reason why Chen He, who has been controversial, can maintain stable exposure.
However, this model of development that relies on family backgrounds has also sparked controversy, with some arguing that Chen's success owes more to his family's patronage than to his personal strength.
This point of view explains to a certain extent why Chen He can still gain a foothold in the entertainment industry despite the situation of negative news.
Fourth, Chen He, who persevered in the predicament: how did he gain a firm foothold in the entertainment industry.
In the face of the blow of negative news, other celebrities often collapse and are marginalized by the entertainment industry. However, Chen He is like having an invincible divine power, and despite the loss of a large number of fans, invitations to events still come one after another.
This article will analyze the reasons for this phenomenon from the perspective of family protection and Chen He's own strategy.
Chen He is a master of survival in the entertainment industry, and he knows how to use his advantages to seek the greatest benefits. Even if he is caught up in controversy, he can use the residual heat of his role "Zeng Xiaoxian" in the TV series "Love Apartment" to maintain a certain degree of audience favorability.
The role of "Zeng Xiaoxian" has allowed Chen He to accumulate a deep "personality background", so that he can still maintain a certain degree of exposure even if he is in the midst of controversy.
However, over-reliance on the character he portrayed in Love Apartment also created new problems. Chen He's Zeng Xiaoxian's taste is too strong, which makes the audience's expectations for him lower and lower.
According to conventional thinking, Chen He originally had no traffic and resources, and should gradually fade out of the entertainment industry. However, he is still able to make steady progress in the circle, which is closely related to his deep background.
Compared with other actors from "Love Apartment", Chen He's development seems to have stagnated. For example, Jin Shijia successfully broke the image of cuteness and showed the ability to switch between multiple styles.
Wang Chuanjun has also achieved his own breakthrough, and he can switch between various different types of roles with ease. Deng Jiajia is also a unique actor, she is always challenging herself and trying new roles.
And Chen He seems to be trapped in his comfort zone, without any breakthrough. He has never been able to get rid of the imprint of Zeng Xiaoxian's role, which not only limits his role choice, but also makes the audience have aesthetic fatigue with his performance.
Despite this, Chen He still has a certain influence and status in the entertainment industry.
The answers to these questions may not be verified until Chen He's future developments. But in any case, Chen He's example provides us with a unique perspective that gives us a glimpse into the complex rules of survival in the entertainment industry.
5. Challenges and future developments: Chen He's dilemma and what people expect from him
Standing now, we look back on Chen He's acting career and have to admit that he has achieved certain success, but there are still many unknowns and challenges in the future.
First of all, his acting skills have limitations, and he can't get rid of the shadow of "Zeng Xiaoxian", which not only limits his role choice, but also makes the audience have aesthetic fatigue with his performance.
For Chen He, how to break through himself and show diversified acting skills has become an important issue. Other actors such as Jin Shijia, Wang Chuanjun, Deng Jiajia and other actors in "Love Apartment" are constantly breaking through themselves and trying different roles.
However, Chen He seemed to be stagnant and trapped in his comfort zone.
Second, Chen He's moral controversy has had a profound impact on him. Although there are no major twists and turns in his career now, in this rapidly changing entertainment industry, who can guarantee that his peace will last forever? The cheating scandal and the abandonment of his first love have seriously damaged his public image.
Finally, the entire entertainment industry has higher and higher requirements for celebrity behavior norms. If stricter regulations are introduced in the future, will Chen He's past controversies be the last straw that crushes him? Audiences spend time and money watching TV series, hoping to see innocent and moral stars, and Chen He obviously does not meet this standard.
In the face of these challenges, Chen He needs to re-examine his position and think about how to rely on strength rather than background to gain a foothold in the entertainment industry. Because no matter how strong the family background is, there will be a day when the old book is finished.
Chen He's hot pot restaurant "Xianhezhuang" has many problems, so improving management and improving quality has also become a problem for him to face.
The entertainment industry should strictly regulate the behavior of celebrities, and once moral stains occur, all artists should be treated equally, and if there is a problem, it should be optimized. Chen He's future not only affects his personal development, but also reflects the ecology of the entire entertainment industry.
The audience and industry insiders are concerned about whether he can get out of the haze and reshape his image.
