When Huang Bo was a child, he loved to play pranks, and his teacher often asked his parents to "talk". Huang Bo's parents are both cadres of the organs, they feel very faceless, and when they go home, they are a training, and they order their son to take the Peking University Qinghua Examination, which makes Huang Bo very sad.
Huang Bo can't study well, but he has a good voice and looks like dancing. In 1988, when 14-year-old Huang Bo was in his second year of junior high school, he was successfully promoted to "Campus Celebrity" at the school's New Year's Day party with a song "Looking Back".
The following year, 15-year-old Huang Bo represented the school in the competition and won the third place in the Qingdao Middle School Karaoke Competition. During the competition, he also formed a deep friendship with Gao Hu, a player of the same age who participated together.
This success made Huang Bo's bleak youth background color have a bright color, and the dream was instantly illuminated. There are thousands of roads, and he thinks that being a singer is the one that suits him.
It was really amazing to have a new head, and since then he skipped class to go to the dance hall, and he has become famous. But how could he have imagined that this road was too difficult to walk, and the difficulty was no less than that of his examination of Peking University Tsinghua University.

At that time, the dance hall was in the ascendant, and the young Huang Bo mixed in here, like a fish in the water, the singing voice was bright, and no one competed. Soon after, he was invited by the owner of the dance hall to sing on stage, and the appearance fee rose from 15 yuan to 60 yuan per night.
It's just that people come home in the middle of the night, and they are very bad. He thought the family was asleep, and took the trouble to open the door silently. As soon as the door opened, my father was waiting behind the door to beat him.
Huang Bo is a real person, and he does not run, but his father is more realistic, and he forced a good belt to beat the child into 7 knots...
When Huang Bo earned enough 2,000 yuan, he wanted to save some dignity, so he exchanged all the bills for 10 yuan and threw them in front of his parents. His mother, who was a department-level cadre, earned only 300 yuan a month, and she thought that the money came from an unknown source, which was frightening.
Knowing that this was the result of their son's singing, the parents, who were born intellectuals, were not at all moved, and angrily rebuked him: "Can Singing for a lifetime?" Can I be a career? ”
This basin of cold water did not extinguish Huang Bo's love for music, but he became more and more stubborn, not willing to show weakness and must sing a little famous.
After going to high school, he did not have to go home at night, and Huang Bo was like a horse that ran out of reins, rushing to major night clubs, so that his academic performance fell again and again.
The father's belt is no longer good...
In 1993, 19-year-old Huang Bo graduated from high school and gave up his studies completely. He gave himself a stage name "XiaoBo", sang on stage, taught people to dance, and also pulled in a few music-loving peers to form a "blue wind and sand" combination, and worked feverishly.
Gradually, Huang Bo became famous in the local area, and the appearance fee rose again and again, and the invitation continued. Most of the dancers who can line up in Qingdao are his students.
Gao Hu, who has always maintained friendship with him, often comes to the scene to earn some extra money and improve his daily life, and he is envious of Huang Bo.
Life was very mysterious, and at that time, Gao Hu did not dare to imagine that he would rewrite Huang Bo's fate under the wrong yin and yang.

In addition to singing and dancing, Huang Bo also loves to innovate, the routine of the performance, the peers will not, their "blue wind and sand" typhoon is fierce, the stage effect is outstanding, very popular with the audience.
At that time, Huang Bo, wherever he went, was light. Wherever you sing, there are fans. Under the blessing of the magnesium lamp, everyone said that he was a handsome man, and the poster was also very handsome, which was said a lot, and he believed it himself.
He felt that being a singer was simply an opportunity tailored for himself, and Qingdao soon could not hold his soul, and he germinated the pride of walking in all directions, with the combination of heaven and earth and north to go around.
The people in the night scene are three or nine streams, all kinds of things, there are drunken troublemakers, there are people looking for fun to play with girls, and there are people who come to smash the field... In the face of more incidents, Huang Bo slowly learned to use the spring breeze and drizzle to make a difference in the gag, and most of them coped with it freely.
What is really difficult is the debt. Once, I was embarrassed to have only ten yuan left on my body, I didn't earn the travel expenses, and I couldn't eat.
These turbulent and displaced days, in urgent need of warmth, make Huang Bo and a young girl "Xiao Ou" who accompanies the dance in the group, see the truth in hardship. In the morning and night together, the two naturally talked about love.
It's just that he didn't expect that the love affair was so many years.
In 1994, at the age of 20, Gao Hu was admitted to the Central Academy of Drama. The 20-year-old Huang Bo also had a new opportunity to come to Guangzhou, where the entertainment industry was developed at that time, and signed a video company.
Mao Ning and Yang Yuying, who were popular all over the country at that time, were also the company's favorite generals. The two formed the "Golden Boy and Jade Girl" in this year, and the concert was held everywhere, and the award was soft (for details, see the past selection of Wan Xiaodao's public account: "The Wind and Snow Moon of Yang Yuying" of "Sweet Song Queen").
Brother and sister eating a feast, master and brother Huang Bo are miserable, the soup can not be drunk, no one in the company is interested, there is no chance to go on the big stage.
How does this work, the so-called "tree to move the dead to live", Huang Bo saw that the company did not take him as an onion, so he moved one by one to try again.
Four
In 1995, the balance of popular music tilted to Beijing, and 21-year-old Huang Bo also dreamed of music and became a north drifter, and successfully met Gao Hu, who studied in Chinese opera.
Here every day there is a wish to end without a disease, Huang Bo does not dare to slacken off, riding a bicycle during the day to run the record company, selling his own record samples, and at night he shuttles to various night shows to sing and earn money to eat.
During the transition, Huang Bo often encountered the same dreamers: Zhou Xun, Man Wenjun, Man Jiang, Sha Baoliang...
But in just one year, Zhou Xun acted in Chen Kaige's movie, Man Wenjun became famous overnight with "Understand You", Sha Baoliang became the lead singer of the band, and Manjiang also developed otherwise...
Everyone has a bright future, only Huang Bo can't get out of the mystery of fame, and the songs he sings can't push the door of the record company. I wanted to write a song for idols Faye Wong and Jacky Cheung, but I couldn't even see anyone.
In the era of birds competing, Huang Bo's advantages are not so amazing, but in the entertainment circle that looks at faces, the shortcomings are particularly obvious.
The first time Sha Baoliang saw Huang Bo, he said with emotion: "At that time, I thought that this brother danced very well and sang well, but he looked too general..."
Huang Bo's heart, like a stone sinking into the water, although he could feel the water rushing, but he could not do anything, and his confidence weight began to shake.
At this time, many people around him advised him not to squeeze into the circle that could not be integrated.
In 1996, the 22-year-old Huang Bo returned to his hometown of Qingdao, changed his past untamed literary and artistic style, and with the help of his family, opened a factory, wearing suits and leather shoes every day, carrying a briefcase, and rushing to various dinners.
Singing again and again to get drunk, doubting life again and again, planning to regain dreams again and again, wanting to make money, and then giving yourself a record...
Maybe it was providence, in 1997, the financial storm crushed the tannery, Huang Bo did not earn money, but also owed a bunch of debts, this life is more difficult, every day had to bend down and bend the knees...
Such a life has passed for 3 years, Huang Bo has tasted all kinds of life, but fate has never let him go.
Five
In 2000, 26-year-old Huang Bo received a call from Gao Hu, saying that he would introduce him to a movie opportunity and ask him to send a photo to the director to see.
Huang Bo listened, a good opportunity, quickly picked out his most handsome photo and sent it.
As a result, something bad happened. Director Guan Hu saw the photo and asked Gao Hu: "Didn't you say he looked like a migrant worker?" How oily and floury, looking like a second-rate child, it is not suitable for the role at all! ”
Gao Hu did not expect Huang Bo's "photo deception" to look so good, very anxious, and repeatedly assured that this person looked really different from the photo...
Guan Hu was half-convinced, and it wasn't until finally, when Huang Bo stood in front of everyone, that Guan Hu finally believed Gao Hu's words.
The film is called "Get on the Bus, Let's Go", which tells the story of two rural youths driving a minibus from rural Shandong to Beijing. Male number one is Gao Hu, because male number two temporarily resigned, Huang Bocai under the recommendation of Gao Hu, it is difficult to have this opportunity to replace.
If it were not for such a story, not such a role setting, Gao Hu would not dare to recommend Huang Bo, who was not from the class.
Before this, Huang Bo had no contact with filmmaking at all, even the director did not know what he was doing, his heart was very panicked, when shooting, he ran off the camera while walking, shouted to stop when filming, saying that the performance was not good, and he had to start again...
The director was so angry that he stomped his feet, but Huang Bo was very energetic, often not sleeping at night, and chatting with Gao Hu about the script. On the third day, the director was pleasantly surprised to find that this boy had talent and could act with ease.
After the 12-day scene was filmed, Huang Bo left a deep impression on director Guan Hu.
After the film was released, it won the Golden Rooster Award, the Lily Award, the Huabiao Award, and Huang Bo attended the award ceremony as the second male, wondering whether to walk the red carpet first on the left or right leg, and stepped on the skirt of the female star in front of him... He still didn't know.
Because of the stimulation and encouragement of this time, Huang Bo thought that this would not work, and he had to study the eight classics of the right way, so he applied for the Beijing Film Academy. However, without suspense, Huang Bo, who has no advantage in appearance and height, was eliminated miserably.
But he was not convinced, and the next year he took the exam again. Nortel's teachers were also dissatisfied and eliminated him again. As soon as Huang Bo saw that it was so difficult, he changed his way in the third year.
Six
In 2002, the 28-year-old "elderly" Huang Bo prepared for nortel for the third time, a teacher at Nortel really couldn't look at it, so he found him, looked at his face deliberately, and said, The college has added a dubbing major, or do you want to try it?
Huang Bo didn't react at first, thinking that I was going to be an actor and learn dubbing. Thinking about it again, if you learn dubbing, it is not a bad thing to have more skills to eat in the future.
In this way, Huang Bo was admitted to the beijing film academy dubbing professional senior vocational class, and also became the class leader. He finally reacted and breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he didn't have to look at his face to learn dubbing, and no one would talk about his appearance anymore.
However, it was not, and others looked at him and muttered: "The enrollment standards of the Beijing Film Academy are also too low, how can such a person be admitted?" There are also elders who kindly remind him: "Women are afraid of marrying the wrong man, and men are afraid of entering the wrong line..."
Bigger blows are yet to come.
Because Huang Bo is popular, although he reads dubbing professionally, there is no shortage of friends in the circle to introduce him to some film and television roles, and he has participated in tv series "Bigfoot Queen", "Black Hole", "Red Chamber Lady" and so on.
One day, Huang Bo got another opportunity to perform, playing a robber in a play, he did not take it seriously at first, but the assistant director of the play saw him and took him too seriously.
Although this role is not much, but it is very critical, the assistant director is also a appearance control, a look at Huang Bo, instantly angry: "This, who let you come, this is not nonsense, which can be done?" ”
The assistant director said and left with his sleeves, but Huang Bo did not leave. The assistant director was afraid that he was a wizard and was delayed, so he let him put on the costume and try to show it to the director.
Tried one, and the director was satisfied. Huang Bo said that I had a second acting method, tried another one, and the director said yes. Huang Bo came to strength, saying that he had also pondered the third acting method, and the director said that he did not need to, and he would set you!
At this time, the assistant director came over, patted Huang Bo's shoulder and began to call brother and brother... What's good about this? It can only be said that the two heavens of ice and fire in life, the smiles we sometimes see, are not necessarily sincere.
But Huang Bo's first love "Xiao Ou" must be sincere, she followed him, walked through the lowest valley, suffered the most, and has been with him to stick to his original dream.
After Huang Bo went to Nortel, Xiao Ou opened a plush toy shop near the school. Beautiful people, red sleeves add incense, Huang Bo excelled in academics, and when he graduated, he also won a place to stay in the school to teach...
But the choice of fate was once again in front of him.
Seven
In 2004, 30-year-old Huang Bo Graduated from Nortel, Guan Hu directed the TV series "Migrant Worker of Survival", and wanted to find him to play the protagonist migrant worker, which made Huang Bo, who had just won a teaching quota at the school, a bit difficult.
In the end, it was really impossible to restrain the love of performance in his body, and Huang Bo gave up the enviable job of a university teacher and went out to play a migrant worker.
His 30th birthday was also spent in the crew. In the face of the unknown future, Huang Bo was very sad and sour, he called Guan Hu and sighed: "Thirty years old today, I have achieved nothing, bullshit is not ..."
Ning Hao, who was full of ambition at that time, was also feeling sad and sad for his upcoming 30 years old, he wanted to make a good movie, but he had no money.
The turnaround happens overnight.
Soon after, Andy Lau launched the "Asian Nova Guidance Program" and invested 3 million yuan in Ning Hao's new work. During a casting, Ning Hao saw Huang Bo's maverick migrant worker temperament and threw an olive branch at him.
In 2006, the 32-year-old Huang Bo played a small thief with a heavy role in "Crazy Stone" directed by Ning Hao. Because he was too deep into the play, he was also wary of Wang Xun, a roommate of the same crew, and repeatedly asked the crew to change rooms.
After the film was finished, I was too poor to pay for publicity. There are no big names in the film, and it is squeezed into the corner of the theater by the blockbuster during the screening.
But the world is unpredictable, without a little defense, this pioneering black comedy film, with the momentum of a dark horse to kill the siege, out of the circle. The "black skin" full of Qingdao dialect came out of nowhere and ran into the depths of the audience's soul.
Two years later, the 34-year-old Huang Bo was nominated for the "Best Newcomer of the Hundred Flowers Award for Popular Film" together with Xu Jiao, who played "Yangtze River Seven" and Liang Luoshi, who played "The Ballad of Yunshui". But in the end, the winner was Lei Qingyao, a post-90s actress who lost both arms.
After gaining some fame, the first thing he did was to marry Xiao Ou, who had been in love for 13 years, back home.
Since then, the darkness has receded, the dawn has risen, and Huang Bo's life has begun to turn upside down...
Eight
Since then, Huang Bo has stood in the film and television circle in a unique way of performance, starring in "Crazy Racing", tossing out "Bullfighting" in the deep ravine, and his gray-headed appearance in the film is estimated that his mother will not recognize it.
Behind the awesome performances, it is all a history of bitter blood and tears. Huang Bo's various life experiences have become the foundation of his performance.
On the day of the "Bullfighting", Huang Bo looked at the dozens of pairs of shoes that ran bad during filming, and stroked his feet and cried. This spirit of hard work and hardship made him win the first "Golden Horse Film Emperor" in his life, and he laughed at himself as the "ugliest shadow emperor".
No one expected that when Huang Bo raised the tall building, the building of his old friend Gao Hu collapsed.
Gao Hu once became famous with the role of "virtual bamboo" in "Tianlong Babu", but unfortunately, the luck later was bad, the car driven by the filming lost control and killed the lighting engineer, the family house decoration caused people to die, and in 2011, he was arrested for drug abuse and self-destructed his future.
When Gao Hu fell into the abyss, Huang Bo pulled him back. He bundled the two into marketing, and some directors looked for Huang Bo to act, and had to arrange a role for Gao Hu in the play first, such as the play "Militia Ge Er Egg".
In 2012, Huang Bo won the "Best Actor Award at the Beijing University Student Film Festival" and the "Actor of the Year Award of the China Film Directors Association" for his performance in "Killing", starring in Xu Zheng's "Tai 囧", which set a new box office record for Chinese films.
In 2013, the 39-year-old Huang Bo starred in 4 films such as "Journey to the West, Descending Demons", "101 Marriage Proposals", "Cooks, Dramas, Lepers", and "No Man's Land", with a personal cumulative box office of 1.9 billion, becoming the "annual box office champion", known by the media as "Huang Bo Nian".
When collaborating on "Journey to the West and Descending Demons", Zhou Xingchi said that he was the kind of person who would not give up his efforts even if he could be a little better...
In the cooperation of "101 Marriage Proposals", the heroine Lin Chiling repeatedly stated that Huang Bo is her ideal type and is very pleasant to get along with. It is said that she also took the initiative to ask the director to add a kiss scene.
In addition to Lin Chiling, actresses who praised Huang Bo, as well as "fighter goddesses" such as Shu Qi and Xu Jinglei, however, in the face of these heavenly immortal beauties or devil figures, he was not caught with any scandals.
What is more talked about is Huang Bo's "high emotional intelligence", whenever there is an embarrassing situation, he always seems to be able to easily resolve it with three words and two words, and win the full house.
The interesting soul made him look not ugly at all, much more attractive than the "little fresh meat" outside the golden jade. Behind the soul, in fact, is life. If you did not encounter the original sneer, how could you have the sophistication of the later generation.
Nine
Later, Huang Bo successively starred in "Dear", "Heart Flower Road Release", "Dragon Hunting Tips"...
As well as "Memory Master", "Under the Ice", "Crazy Alien", "The Man Taken by the Light", "My Motherland and Me", "Win the Championship"...
And self-directed and self-acted "A Good Drama", word of mouth, box office is also very gratifying.
He also won the "Golden Jubilee Award" at the Shanghai Film Festival for "Under the Ice" and was nominated for the "Golden Horse Film Emperor" again. In addition, he also appeared on CCTV Spring Festival Gala several times, singing "The Best Stage" with Chen Weiting and Zhang Yixing, and singing "Past" with Wang Yuan...
The unknown pawn who had been ridiculed, questioned, and turned away because of his appearance, and who was also elected as the vice chairman of the China Filmmakers Association, miraculously counterattacked: "the golden sign of the film industry" and "box office guarantee".
Huang Bo's story tells us that although people's appearance and origin are important, what is more important is the soul and pattern.
No matter how ugly you look, no matter how bad your origins are, it is not your fault, because it is impossible to choose. The soul and pattern are what you can choose, and your own tempering and cultivation can be used to settle down and even change your life against the heavens.
If the soul and pattern are not good, even if you are born rich and rich, the friends you make are not as rich as you, or can you only be a "licking dog"?!
And if the soul is noble and the pattern is grand, it is different. You may have had an infusion too, but it was a night of dancing with dreams. You may have sweated too, but that's a man with tears.
You didn't do "licking dogs", you didn't eat soft rice, you relied on yourself, from reaching out and not seeing five fingers, staying up to the sunrise in the east, from going out to being cold-eyed, staying up to the starry sky.
Isn't that the most beautiful and enjoyable life?
