Tribulations and glory on the road to acting
After graduating from Chinese opera, Chen Daoming did not have smooth sailing. He once again returned to his career of playing tricks, playing a small role with no lines and no face. Sometimes the crew doesn't have enough people to play dead bodies, and he even has to be on top.
For many, such a situation can be frustrating, but Chen has always faced it with a positive attitude. He always said, "Instead of cursing the darkness, let yourself shine."
Chen Daoming takes every role seriously to the extent that he is more serious than the main actor, and he is committed to honing his acting skills, in addition to memorizing lines and figuring out scripts, he will also learn from other people's performances in a black-and-white TV series.
At that time, families could not afford to buy a house because of their meagre income. A family of three can only be crammed into the staff dormitory of the unit. In order not to disturb the rest of his wife and daughter, whenever he was ready to recite the lines of the script, he would go to the grove by the river in advance to practice.
His hard-working attitude has led him to participate in many film and television dramas, such as "There is a Snowstorm Tonight" and "One and Eight", etc., although these works have attracted some attention, he himself has not become popular because of this.
In 1988, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity came. The TV series "The Last Emperor" is about to start filming, and at this time, 33-year-old Chen Daoming won the opportunity to play the role of Pu Yi with his handsome and chic appearance and perfect acting skills.
As soon as this TV series was broadcast, it caused a small sensation, and with this role, Chen Daoming won the Golden Eagle Award and the Feitian Award for double actor, and made a major breakthrough in his career.
After becoming famous, Chen Daoming has never compromised on his own requirements. He can be Pu Yi, the last emperor of the Qing Dynasty, who is both weak and incompetent, but also has an imperial style.
can also be the emotional, domineering Qing Shizu Kangxi Emperor (he calmly beat an actor on the set in order to pursue truth); Or Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty with a hint of ruffianism in the scheming and domineering majesty.
Each character is endowed with a unique charm.
However, Chen Daoming did not blindly pursue the opportunity to play the leading role. When the crew of "Siege" threw an olive branch to him, he didn't agree at first, because he felt that he couldn't play the role of Fang Hongjian well.
But the director insisted on waiting for him, saying: "Not at the moment, then I'll wait for you, when you can do it, we will shoot when you can." Eventually, Chen accepted the challenge.
In order to perfectly interpret the role of Fang Hongji, Chen Daoming has made great efforts. First of all, lose 25 pounds in two months and continue to practice Mandarin; Secondly, in the hot summer wearing a kaftan and glasses, I insisted on shooting in a room without air conditioning.
Professionalism and outstanding performance made Fang Hongji's actor highly appreciated by Qian Zhongshu, the author of the original work. Qian Lao even wrote a letter to comment: "You let me see a living Fang Hongji.
Chen Daoming's serious attitude towards each role and the spirit of constantly breaking through himself have made him firmly established in the entertainment industry and has become a powerful actor in the eyes of many directors and audiences.
Chen Daoming went from playing tricks to ascending to the throne of the actor step by step, and the hardships he paid were unimaginable, but all the efforts were exchanged for sunshine, and he successfully showed his talent with perseverance and the spirit of excellence, and won the love of the national audience.
The Art of Balancing a Family Year Career
Chen Daoming has a solid position in the entertainment industry and has more and more work, but he has not forgotten the importance of family. When his wife considered quitting her job for the sake of her family to devote herself to serving her husband and children, Chen Daoming unexpectedly dissuaded her.
He firmly believes: "Women are happy when they have a career, don't sacrifice your career for me." These words not only show Chen Daoming's support for his wife's career, but also show his unique insight into the balance between family and career.
Chen Daoming encouraged Xiao Du to quit his job at CCTV and bravely step into the business world. Not only that, but she also founded a number of media and film and television companies, starting a new chapter in her career.
This decision not only allowed Xiao Du to continue to pursue his career, but also injected new vitality into his family.
However, while Chen Daoming received public attention in 2003 because of a mobile phone advertisement, he was also involved in a "peach storm". At that time, the 48-year-old met Zuo Xiaoqing, who was 22 years younger than him, and the relationship between the two sparked speculation from the outside world.
At the end of 2006, Chen Daoming was exposed to stay in actress Zuo Xiaoqing's apartment for up to six hours, which attracted widespread public attention and public opinion.
In the face of complicated public opinion, Chen Daoming chose to face it calmly. He personally went out to clarify his relationship with Zuo Xiaoqing, saying that they were just discussing the script, and everything else was nonsense.
In this turmoil, Xiao Du chose to believe Chen Daoming's explanation and gave her husband the greatest trust and support.
This turmoil settled with Zuo Xiaoqing's marriage, and Chen Daoming became more cautious in public after experiencing this incident, giving his wife a sense of security with practical actions and keeping an appropriate distance from women.
This not only shows the value he cherishes his family, but also shows his wisdom in finding a balance between family and career.
The desirable winner of life: both virtue and art
After career ups and downs and emotional twists and turns, Chen Daoming's status in the entertainment industry has become more and more stable and stable. He began to bluntly criticize various phenomena in the entertainment industry, and showed no mercy to traffic stars and some undesirable phenomena.
He once mercilessly complained that traffic stars were just plastic actors who were hyped out by packaging. At the same time, he also unceremoniously criticized the misbehavior of some actors, saying that some actors misbehaved, and drug use was actually a lack of education, and he used pressure as an excuse.
Chen Daoming has always adhered to his bottom line, only choosing meaningful things and worthy roles to try, and he once sharply criticized: In recent years, some dramas have been released, but the director's brain has entered the water.
Although this outspoken attitude can sometimes be controversial, it has also earned the respect of many.
Chen Daoming pays great attention to his words and deeds in public and keeps a safe distance, he will keep an appropriate distance from female celebrities, even if there is a simple hug, he will carefully avoid the backs of female celebrities.
This cautious attitude not only represents respect for the profession, but also gives the wife the greatest sense of security.
From a teenager with a dream of translation, to a trickster actor who was looked down upon by his father-in-law, and then to a senior in the entertainment industry who is both virtuous and artistic, Chen Daoming's life trajectory is full of drama.
However, it is this tortuous experience that has shaped Chen Daoming today, who has made remarkable achievements in his acting career and a happy family life. His story is not only the growth process of an actor, but also the inspirational legend of how a person rises in the face of adversity and eventually becomes a winner in life.
