Recently, I accidentally brushed an adventure comedy movie "Counterfeit Heir" in Chengde, and at first glance the name seems to be similar to the network movie made by eighteen-line unknown actors, but a closer look at the actors, the lead actor is actually Xie Yunshan.
Speaking of Xie Yunshan, everyone may have to react for a while, but when it comes to "Ding Dong", the DNA of everyone's childhood TV series immediately moves, "Little Ding Dong" is Xie Yunshan's stage name, he is 31 years old this year.
Speaking of which, "Little Ding-Dong" Xie Yunshan is still an "old drama bone" whose drama is more popular than people.
Who would have thought that the fat man in the boot photo who laughed and lost his eyes was the ghost horse elf in the TV series when he was a child, the likable "Little Ding-Dong".
At that time, Xie Yunshan, who debuted at the age of 6, was often active on various TV platforms, playing roles such as ghost horse children with sharp teeth, which often caused us to laugh in the play. In 2004, Xie Yunshan became popular all over the country with a "Young Great Qincha".
Now Xie Yunshan is already a existence that cannot be remembered without special attention, there is no work out of the circle, and his personal image is not worth mentioning, and he can only be regarded as a marginalized eighteen-line artist in the entertainment industry.
At that time, the scenery was unlimited, how did the ghost horse child star of the Spring Festival Gala fall to the point where he can only make some nameless small-budget movies now? How did he become such a "greasy" youth today?
01
Xie Yunshan was born in 1990 in Fengtai District, Beijing, and is a native of Beijing.
When Xie Yunshan was five years old, he already showed his talent for acting and began to make his debut film and television dramas.
In 1995, Xie Yunshan came to prominence in the TV series "Tomorrow's Hope", playing the role of Liu Taixing, the son of Liu Bocheng's master, although the role was not much, but the five-year-old Xie Yunshan did a good job, at this time Xie Yunshan has already shown his acting "aura", so it has brought him more opportunities.
In the same year, the TV series "Mulan" and "Home Outside" all threw olive branches, and Xie Yunshan showed his "ghost horse aura" unreservedly in these dramas, laying a good foundation for him to go to a bigger stage in the future.
To say that Xie Yunshan is really known to everyone, that is, in 1997, Xie Yunshan starred in the comedy movie "The Adventures of Dou Ding", in which Xie Yunshan accurately showed the cuteness, wit and intelligence of Dou Ding to the audience, which is simply "Dou Ding Benting". Xie Yunshan circled a lot of "mother fans" with this role, and officially entered the public's field of vision by relying on this drama.
At this time, only 7 years old Xie Yunshan was recognized by the public because of the role of "Dou Ding", gained a large number of fans who liked him, but also won the "heart" of CCTV, in 1999, successively participated in the "Three Excellences" evening of Central Radio and the "Universal Upu
At the beginning, Xie Yunshan's acting was also playing with a curious mentality, but he did not expect to gain an unprecedented sense of achievement in the process of acting, and gained so many people who liked himself, Xie Yunshan also liked acting and enjoyed it.
Even in 2003, he was honored at the CCTV Spring Festival Gala, and comedian Guo Donglin brought the sketch "My Father and I Change Roles".
The skit also won the "second prize" and the "Audience's Favorite Show" award at the time, and Xie Yunshan's performance was officially recognized.
The young Xie Yunshan seems to be born to be likable, whether he is a cute "ghost horse naughty boy" in the play or a funny ghost horse in the children's program, it seems to be his innate ability.
02
2004 can be described as the year when Xie Yunshan exploded, and it was also the peak of his acting career. At the age of 13, Xie Yunshan starred in the role of Chen Wenjie in the TV series "Young Qin Cha", in which Zeng Zhiwei, Wu Mengda, Shu Chang, Jin Dong and other acting strengths all played supporting roles for Xie Yunshan, and Xie Yunshan played Chen Wenjie, who was jealous and hateful, proud and brave in the play.
After the TV series was broadcast, Xie Yunshan's performance in the play was widely recognized by everyone and received rave reviews.
The young Xie Yunshan and many predecessors played a completely good role, the performance was at ease, and the success of this drama directly sent "Little Ding Dong" to the peak of his acting career.
Looking around, Xie Yunshan's child star of the same period is no more beautiful than Xie Yunshan! Whether it is Shi Xiaolong, who has also been active in the film and television circle since childhood, or Cao Jun, there is no Xie Yunshan famous in the same period.
Because of the superposition of popularity, in addition to CCTV and Beijing Television's children's party Xie Yunshan often participates, other local TV stations also compete to invite Xie Yunshan to participate in their children's party.
Xie Yunshan's degree of fire in those years was comparable to the current flow of small students, and it was difficult to change a station and not to see it.
Xie Yunshan's talent in acting is so high that various directors and producers are reluctant to let go of such a good seedling, so Xie Yunshan's films are continuous, xie Yunshan has not lived up to his talent, very prolific, and has filmed film and television dramas such as "Little Devil Liu Luo Pot" and "New Seven Heroes and Five Righteousness".
But these dramas give him a role setting similar to Chen Wenjie in "Young Daqincha", all of which are clever and witty characters, and although the response to these films is also good, they are far less brilliant than those brought to him by Chen Wenjie.
It is as Teacher Tao Hong said: "Play an eggplant, all the purples are found."
The times are progressing, the audience's aesthetics are improving, and the preferences are changing, but Xie Yunshan is unchanged, there is no breakthrough in the role, and his "ghost horse spirit" year after year can no longer meet the audience's fresh sense of curiosity.
Each stage of the era has an aesthetic trend that belongs to that stage, and the years of Xie Yunshanhuo are the dividend period of such themes as "Li Wei as an Official" and "Iron Tooth Copper Tooth Ji Xiaolan", just like the prevalence of delayed dramas in recent years.
Once this aesthetic trend has passed, if the actor himself cannot adapt to the market to make changes, he is doomed to be eliminated by the market.
Xie Yunshan is the one who has not made changes, he himself is still an ignorant child, and he has no professional brokerage team, no professional guidance, and it is normal to end up as a marginal figure in the entertainment industry.

In 2005, Xie Yunshan starred in Liu Yifei's version of "Divine Eagle Hero" in the role of Yang Guo when he was a child, there was no accident, this role is still the same as the type of role he played before, and Xie Yunshan did not set off a special big wave in this drama.
After the role of "Xiao Yang Guo", Xie Yunshan seemed to disappear from the public eye, and the works out of the circle were even less, and he fell from the throne of the "first child star".
In 2005, it was also the time when the "child stars" in the film and television circle were renewed, and this year, the next generation of "child stars" Wu Lei entered everyone's field of vision, and the appearance of Wu Lei completely announced that Xie Yunshan's era was over.
Not surprisingly, Xie Yunshan ushered in the "big cold" stage of his career, during which Time Xie Yunshan chose to go to the Beijing Film Academy for further study.
In 2009, just when the public was about to forget Xie Yunshan, he was admitted to the Beijing Film Academy, and was in the same class as Wu Jianyan and Zhang Yunlong.
I have to say that in the environment where the appearance of the entertainment industry is supreme, Xie Yunshan, who is not outstanding in appearance, and the news of entering the Beijing Film Academy has not allowed the public to re-recognize this grown-up "little ding-dong".
Xie Yunshan, who studied at the Beijing Film Academy, has accumulated countless acting experience since he was a child, on the one hand, he has formed a subconscious mechanical reaction in acting since he was a child, and now when he becomes an adult, if he wants to change this muscle memory formed from childhood, it is not simple.
So during the study period, his performance method did not bring the recognition of the teachers of the Beijing Film Academy, after the teacher pointed out the problem of Xie Yunshan, Xie Yunshan did not seriously think and absorb suggestions, but with the pride of starring in classic dramas when he was a child, he completely took the teacher's advice seriously, and the usual and classmates' play practice was also perfunctory, just like this, there was no accident, Xie Yunshan became the worst student in the class.
In this way, Xie Yunshan finished college without surprise, did not learn solid theoretical knowledge in school, did not improve his acting skills, and even the scenes he went out to shoot during college did not have any repercussions, and this advanced study was only an age for Xie Yunshan.
Xie Yunshan's performance in college is also too confident in himself, he firmly believes that he has a wealth of acting experience compared to his classmates, but he did not think that his acting experience was only the rise of his true color as a child, and did not have the delicacy that professional schools value in acting now.
Xie Yunshan, who was overconfident in himself, did not come according to the school's standards, but went out to take the drama to prove himself, and it turned out that the practice without the support of professional theory was doomed to failure.
Xie Yunshan originally thought that he could make a comeback on the platform of the Beijing Film Academy with his past acting experience and regain public recognition, but contrary to his wishes, the further study of the Beijing Film Academy did not bring improvement to his career.

After graduation, Xie Yunshan is also a 23-year-old big guy, because of the requirements for the body of a film, Xie Yunshan's fattening has not decreased, and he has become a larger young man, completely losing the aura cuteness of the childhood "Ding-Dong".
Xie Yunshan still continues his acting career, but all that comes to him is some well-known small-cost productions, no audience to pay for it, and participating in such a small-cost film and television did not give Xie Yunshan a sense of accomplishment.
So Xie Yunshan began to transform, and in 2017 he began to direct and act in an online movie "Soul Clinic".
But Xie Yunshan's directorial skills are not enough, the box office of this film is dismal, and even the audience does not know that there is such a movie, just like this, Xie Yunshan's directorial debut also failed.
In 2018, Xie Yunshan and the classmates who just fired cooperated in a road youth comedy theme movie "Say Walk Away graduation trip", and the actors who cooperated with Niu Junfeng, Bai Jugang, etc. The box office of this movie was not ideal, the Douban score was only 4.3 points, which is a bad film in the mouth of netizens, and the only praise for this movie is Niu Junfeng, one of the main actors.
Niu Junfeng debuted as a child star, and when he was a child star, he was far from Xie Yunshan's scenery, but in the movie they cooperated with, the comments of netizens were all comments such as "Niu Junfeng was a child" and "Niu Junfeng became handsome", and there was no figure of Xie Yunshan at all.
In the current aesthetic era where appearance is justice, good looks will indeed bring more well-meaning evaluations, especially in the actor industry.
Xie Yunshan's face is very cute when he was a child, and when he grows up, he is no longer cute, only "cute", mainly his face is matched with his figure, and the greasy feeling is naturally more prominent.
Xie Yunshan, who tried many times to see the brilliance of his career, began to consider personal problems, looking for a play, no drama to go on a blind date, Xie Yunshan originally thought that with his own achievements, in the blind date market should be very sought-after, but did not expect that the blind date is not smooth, nothing more than Xie Yunshan looks at the girl who looks up to him, the girl he can't look at is looking at him.
Xie Yunshan's career life was not smooth, making his figure more rounded, and he could not see the aura of his childhood at all. In the current male actor is either handsome, or has anti-heaven performance skills, Xie Yunshan does not occupy any of them, can only be eliminated by the market, to be a small transparent entertainment circle.
In 2020, Xie Yunshan opened a platform account and sent a video of "still that teenager", and the comments at the bottom were "Is this still the little jingle of the year?" "How is it not cute at all now" and other netizen feedback.
Xie Yunshan wants to settle on the big platform to continue to consume his past self, but it has not caused a big response, so Xie Yunshan has also posted three dynamics on the platform and there is no follow-up.
This time, Xie Yunshan was completely eliminated by the market!
Indeed, the past "Ding-Dong" unlimited scenery, but now he is just an ordinary actor Xie Yunshan, should not let the past shackles the self that can now move forward, the glory of the past can be a driving force, can also be a spur, should never be a shackle.
You can't see more beautiful flowers in the future because you once had flowers and applause, if you want to get more applause, you should live in the moment, recognize yourself, and learn with an open mind, in order to give the audience a satisfactory answer.

With the development of the domestic entertainment economy in recent years, the rise of self-media and talent shows. Traffic Internet celebrities and talent idols have poured into the film and television circle, although they have not received professional performance training, but their appearance is against the sky, photogenic and good-looking, and fans pay for it, so the film and television drama resources are continuous, occupying most of the resources in the circle.
This is undoubtedly bad news for artists hovering on the edge of the entertainment industry, and if you want to compete with these traffic artists, you must either have an anti-heavenly appearance or have acting skills that make the audience breathtaking.
If there is no blessing of these two types of skills, in such a cruel entertainment circle, it can only be a small transparency.
Xie Yunshan just happens to be in such a cruel entertainment industry environment at the moment, his appearance is not outstanding, and his acting skills are not top-notch, so it is too normal to be forgotten by the public.
The situation that "child stars" grow up and disappear abound in this circle, and the renewal speed of the entertainment industry is so fast that once it falls from the throne of "child stars", it is difficult to have a good chance to return to the public eye.
But in such a cruel environment, there are also "child stars" who have returned to the public's attention, Zhang Yishan has become the "Liu Xing" that everyone knows when we were young because of the hit of "Family with Children", but as we grow up, he seems to have no news of him since "Family with Children", until 2010, the news of his going to the Beijing Film Academy was exposed, which revived our memories, but for Zhang Yishan's reappearance, the public's voice is "how long disabled" and "not cute as a child". These voices from the public seem to be the test that these "child stars" have to go through.
Zhang Yishan did not go out to act during his studies at the Beijing Film Academy, but settled down and worked hard to truly become an actor. Finally lived up to expectations, two years after he graduated, he waited for his own opportunity to re-fan Zhang Yishan with a "Residual Sin".
Because of the fire of this drama, Zhang Yishan's follow-up film and television resources are very rich, and in 2017, "Spring Wind Ten Miles, Not as Good as You" cooperated with Zhou Dongyu also had a good response.
The label on Zhang Yishan's body has changed from "Liu Xing" to the current "actor Zhang Yishan", which is exactly what he understands at what time to do, recognize reality, and live in the moment. When he did not have the exposure to study steadily, strengthen his acting skills, gold will shine wherever he goes, and finally he relied on a "Residual Sin" to return to the public eye with superb acting skills in the play.
Therefore, no matter who it is and how many achievements there have been in the past, we should not blindly stay in the past, we should live in the present, strive to move forward, precipitate ourselves, strengthen our own capabilities, and not forget our original intentions.
No matter when and where, recognize yourself, do what you should do, and when the opportunity comes, you can seize the opportunity to prove yourself, so that you will not be forgotten by the times.
From the state of the recent movie start-up, it can be seen that Xie Yunshan is also serious about acting and rediscovering his career, hoping that Xie Yunshan will perform well in the movie, sincere performance, and bring us surprises.
