In July, "Chinese Doctors," based on real events in the fight against covid-19, became the biggest winner.
The box office has accumulated 1.3 billion yuan, and the Douban score is 6.9, which is a double harvest of box office reputation.
The joining of powerful actors such as Zhang Hanyu, Yuan Quan and Zhu Yawen adds an insurance to the quality of the film.
Compared with a large number of big-name actors, Shi Xiaolong's role seems a bit awkward.
In the film, he plays an electrician wearing a mask, appears for less than ten seconds, and there is only one sentence in the whole process, and nothing else.
From a "child star" that has spread all over the country to a dragon set with only ten seconds of lens, what has Shi Xiaolong experienced?
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="15" ></h1>
It all started in 2003.
This year, Shi Xiaolong, who grew up filming, felt physically and mentally exhausted, tired of the days when every day except for practicing martial arts was filming.
So he ignored his father's objections and insisted on studying abroad.
This walk is three years.
The time is not long, but for the entertainment industry, which is full of newcomers, it is enough to change the sky.
During this period, Shi Xiaolong did not have any other particularly brilliant works except for a few film and television dramas such as "Young Bao Qingtian 3" and "The Legend of Xue Rengui" when he returned to China during the summer vacation.
Three years later, when Shi Xiaolong, who had returned from studying abroad, wanted to make a big punch, he was embarrassed to find that the film and television circle had no place for him.
In 2009, he co-starred with Li Qihong and Chen Haomin in the costume comedy "The Legend of Bao Sangu", which did not set off a wave at all.
In 2010, the release of "Ip Man 2" did make him angry, but it was all negative reviews.
Shi Xiaolong's image in the play is a bit fat, and at the beginning of the film's release, it triggered many netizens to complain.
Not only did some people ridicule him on Weibo for "becoming a greasy uncle", but even some people put him on the hat of "the first of the top ten long-disabled child stars".
In the next few years, Shi Xiaolong's efforts to shoot dramas did not cause much repercussions.
Until 2018, "The Great Hero Huo Yuanjia", which co-starred with Zhao Wenzhuo, once again brought him back to the public's attention, but it was also a negative evaluation.
Chen Zhen, played by Shi Xiaolong in the play, has a paranoid and rude personality, and everyone wants to fight.
The failure of character development and the lack of performance level caused the audience to question his acting skills.
If the previous works can also be disguised by the tv series without box office, then "The Legend of Yan Chixia Hunting Demon" starring Shi Xiaolong and Xu Dongdong in March this year ripped off the last fig leaf.
On the first day, the box office was 2725 yuan, the cumulative box office was 1.074 million, and the Douban score was 4.9.
The results can only be described as miserable.
It is often said that "the east is not bright and the west is bright", and there is love if the career is not smooth.
In 2010, Shi Xiaolong and He Jie, who debuted with Supergirl, had an affair during the filming of "The Legend of the KnifeMan".
The two were photographed while shopping intimately, and the relationship was exposed, and then it was exposed to rumors of cohabitation.
Just when the melon-eating masses thought that the pair of golden boys and jade girls were going to cultivate positive results, He Jie openly admitted that he was single, and said that the boys he liked should have filial piety and take care of people.
Netizens suddenly opened their minds, isn't this just saying that Shi Xiaolong is "naïve", "will not take care of people", "has no filial piety", and "has a very bad temper"?
For a time, Shi Xiaolong's reputation plummeted, and he was even named "scumbag".
If the acting career is not smooth and the love fails, there are still some objective factors.
Then the martial arts school founded by his father, Chen Tongshan, in the name of Shi Xiaolong, gave him the final blow to his reputation.
In 2019, Deng Haichao and Li Qian of Hebei Province brought their seven-year-old daughter Deng Lin (pseudonym) to the "Shaolin Xiaolong School", planning to let their daughter "exercise" her body, but did not expect to wait for bad news.
Through forensic examination of the body surface of the deceased, combined with relevant evidence such as on-site investigation by the public security organs, the causes of death caused by external forces such as beatings are excluded.
In the end, the school reached a settlement with the family.
Although the matter came to an end, Shi Xiaolong, as the image spokesperson of the school, was pushed to the cusp of public opinion and was criticized by netizens.
Since then, Shi Xiaolong has rarely appeared in the entertainment industry.
In March this year, the costume film "Overlord" held a launch ceremony in Hengdian, with Shi Xiaolong as the action director.
From "child star" to dragon set, and then to transformation action director.
Shi Xiaolong's "fall" actually had a premonition.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="54" > two</h1>
In 1993, at the age of 5, Shi Xiaolong signed a contract with Taiwan's Changhong Film and Television Company and debuted with the comedy film "Laughing Forest Boy" (also known as "Whirlwind Boy") directed by Zhu Yanping.
In 1994, "Laughing Forest Boy II: The New Oolong Courtyard" was released, and Shi Xiaolong became popular overnight.
In the next three years, Shi Xiaolong starred in a total of nine film and television works, and his popularity reached its peak.
Even in 1995, he presented jackie Chan as a special guest at the 14th Film Awards.
In 1999, Shi Xiaolong began to enter the TV series.
"Young Bao Qingtian", "Oolong Breaks through the Love Pass", "Nine-year-old County Taiye", and "Yitian Slaughtering Dragon", all appeared in the following years.
Until 2003, before going abroad, Shi Xiaolong's popularity could not be said to be popular, but it was by no means bad.
Then, the downhill road begins.
From Shi Xiaolong's popularity, we can actually see the reason for his decline.
For many years, Shi Xiaolong has been co-starring with other actors and has never carried the beam alone.
For example, in the movie "Laughing Forest Boy" when he was a child, he cooperated with Hao Shaowen in comedy films, one was responsible for martial arts, and the other was responsible for funny.
The two formed a bondage relationship.
"Ten Brothers", "Invincible Anti-Fighting Star", "Dragon in Shaolin" and so on are all like this.
As he grew older, Shi Xiaolong entered the TV series.
But several well-known works, he can not be regarded as a starring role.
Yin Tianqiu in "Water Moon Cave Heaven", Zhan Zhao in "Young Bao Qingtian", Teenager Zhang Wujie in "The Book of the Dragon Slayer in the Heavens"...
The audience remembered the play, but did not remember Shi Xiaolong as a person.
Even now, when everyone mentions Shi Xiaolong, they will basically be labeled as "child star" and "kung fu".
There are very few characters that are remembered by the audience because of their "excellent acting skills".
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="75" > three</h1>
The debut of the "child star" has always been a double-edged sword.
Children with cute, simple natural advantages are very easy to win the audience's love, but also let the audience label them early.
If more efforts cannot be made, the future drama road will not only become narrower, but even blocked.
Some people say that when the times abandoned "child stars", they never said hello.
Xie Miao, known as "Jet Li's son", can only be active in the field of network university at the age of 36.
Cao Jun, who worked with Shi Xiaolong on "Nine-Year-Old County Taiye", would have been forgotten if he had not participated in "Actors Please Take Place" to get a heart-wrenching script.
Even Wang Shasha, who became popular with "The Legend of Wulin", is only 29 years old but has already played the mother of the child in "Mountains and Seas"...
.
Compared with them, Shi Xiaolong's situation was much better.
On the one hand, there are resources and competitive roles can be won; on the other hand, the family is well-off and has no worries.
Shi Xiaolong, who lost the "Child Starlight Ring" and "Traffic Blessing", the only way to make him popular again is probably acting, which is the most core underpinning of being an actor.
But this can not be done quickly, can only spend time and energy to study.
Shi Xiaolong is a kung fu child star, and he really has nothing to say about martial arts actions and other aspects. But the psychological and emotional speculation of the characters is lacking too much.
The result is that the audience remembers his kung fu, but can't remember the role he played.
This is also the reason why when everyone watches the film and television drama he starred in, he feels that the fight is wonderful, and at the same time, he feels that his acting skills are insufficient.
Therefore, rather than saying that Shi Xiaolong has entered a low period in his acting career, it is better to say that he has stepped into the stage of precipitation and accumulation that he should have experienced as an actor.
Shi Xiaolong is only in his early thirties now, and he has enough time to hone his acting skills.
Yu Hewei only began to enter the public eye at the age of 46 with "The League of Military Divisions".
Zhang Yi debuted at the age of 28, and only became the Emperor of Vision at the age of 40 with "Chicken Feathers Flying to the Sky".
Zhang Jiayi won the best actor in 2011 with "Borrowing a Gun", and in 2017, he let the media shout out Zhang Jiayinian.
All three, without exception, were powerful actors who became famous after the age of forty.
In the trough period, they carefully polished their acting skills, and finally had a chance to soar.
In recent years, the market has become more and more rational: the blessing of traffic stars on the box office has been decreasing, and the powerful actors have become more and more popular.
If Shi Xiaolong can sink his heart to study acting, he can shine again with his strength in the future.
