In 2007, "The Legend of Shaolin Temple" was released on major television stations and won the ratings championship of 13 provincial radio stations. Among them, hui ren, the fourth disciple of the abbot played by Xie Miao, left a deep impression on the audience with his warm personality, courage and strategy.
In March this year, the online movie "Boss Lady" starring Xie Miao and Xu Dongdong was released, and the final box office was as high as 13.75 million.
Unlike the box office of cinema movies with hundreds of millions of dollars, online movies can reach more than 10 million points of account is already quite excellent results.
Similar to "Chasing the Dragon", "The Boss Lady" is also written and directed by Wang Jing, so there are many similarities between the time background and the story line.
The film mainly tells the story of Hong Kong under British rule in the 1970s, the owner of the slum Tie Ji Hotel, Tie Jie, leads the little leopard and the clerks with different pasts to avenge their husbands, punish evil and promote good.
In the movie, the little leopard played by Xie Miao is a poor person whose girlfriend was forced to jump off a building and was unjustly imprisoned, but he also undertook the most "fight scenes" in the play.
Without hesitation when protecting his girlfriend's family, unwilling when he was defeated by the bad guys, and in full swing after the revenge, Xie Miao interpreted it in place.
I have to say that Wang Jing's vision of selecting people is indeed "old and spicy".
In fact, Xie Miao and Wang Jing are not the first time to cooperate.
In 1993, Wang Jing was preparing her new film "New Shaolin Five Ancestors", in which several characters needed to find some children with martial arts skills to play.
At that time, there was no shortage of handsome men and beautiful women in the entertainment industry, but there were only a few child stars who could play and act.
In order to find a suitable actor, Wang Jing led the production team to Beijing.
At that time, 9-year-old Xie Miao was studying martial arts in the Children's Palace, and he did not expect Wang Jing to take a fancy to this child with sharp eyes.
It is said that Wang Jing initially wanted Xie Miao to play the rich little young master in the movie, but Xie Miao really could not play that kind of pampered temperament.
So Wang Jing let him try the role of Hong Wending.
Who knew that Xie Miao had just auditioned for everyone's surprise, and Hong Wending in the script seemed to come alive.
Xie Miao has been learning martial arts since childhood, his eyes are sharp, there is a sense of righteousness between his hands and feet, coupled with his honest and heavy personality, he and Hong Wending are like a mold carved out.
Unsurprisingly, "New Shaolin Five Ancestors" received excellent response in the market, and Xie Miao became a well-known child star.
Wang Jing saw Xie Miao's potential and suggested that he sign a one-year contract with Yongsheng Film Company.
During this year, Xie Miao first cooperated with Wu Mengda on "Peter Pan", then with Zhou Runfa on "God of Gamblers 2", and later with Jet Li again with "A Letter to Daddy" (also known as Chizi Weilong) to push his fame to the peak.
At this time, it should have been a good opportunity for Xie Miao to go further, but the next development was completely unexpected by everyone - Xie Miao's rapids retreated.
This matter has to start with Semyon's contract.
A year later, the contract expired, and what to do next, Semyon's mother made a mistake.
The Xie family has always been a relatively traditional family, and it is not accurate for Xie Miao to shoot on the set every day, and it is false to watch his son work hard every day to say that he is not distressed.
In that era, there were few precedents for child stars to debut and have long-term development, and in comparison, schooling was more stable and more in line with the universal values of the time.
Embarrassed, Xie's mother finally consulted Wang Jing and Zhou Runfa for advice, who knew that the answers of the two were diametrically opposite.
Wang Jing believes that we should seize the opportunity, not everyone who wants to be red can be red, now That Miao Miao has a certain popularity and an audience base, she should continue to cultivate in this industry, and take care of her studies.
According to zhou runfa's experience of eating no cultural loss in his early years, he suggested that Xie Miao should still learn more knowledge, read carefully, and want to shoot dramas at any time in the future.
From the perspective of both of them, they are pertinent suggestions based on their own experience, but Zhou Runfa's idea is obviously more in line with the wishes of Xie Miao's parents, because they originally planned to do so.
At that time, Semyon was still very young and did not know what life planning was, so he finally followed his parents' idea - to return to school.
After returning to Beijing, Xie Miao went to a martial arts school to continue his studies. Many students saw that he was familiar with him, and asked him if he had acted in a movie, and Xie Miao just laughed it off.
During this period, many directors came to Semyon to shoot scenes, but they were all rejected.
The popularity that Semyon had accumulated before gradually disappeared.
Until 2001, Semyon came back to shoot "Prime Minister Xiao Ganluo", perhaps he wanted to re-accumulate some fame with his works and make a preliminary accumulation for subsequent universities.
But the reality is very cruel, and the drama did not win the red Xie Miao again, but affected his learning.
In the end, Xie Miao was not admitted to the university of his choice, but had no choice but to go to the National Sports Major of the Capital Institute of Physical Education.
From 2002 to 2006, Xie Miao has been studying national martial arts such as long fist, gun, stick, and nine-knot whip at the Capital Institute of Physical Education, and has not made a comeback.
After graduation, Xie Miao joined the crew of "The Legend of Shaolin Temple". During the filming, Semyon did not use a stand-in, and the professionalism of daring to play and fight was well received by the director.
But the current market is very different from the past, "traffic is the way, fresh meat is king" has become the mainstream, losing the "child star" aura, the appearance is not so "small fresh meat" Semyon, can only silently pay more efforts.
"Legend of Shaolin Temple" finally received good ratings, and Hui Ren, played by Xie Miao, also left a deep impression on the audience. But compared with that year, his fame is far from returning to the peak.
For the next few years, Semyon worked hard.
In 2010, he co-starred with Wang Baoqiang, Ye Xuan and Wu Mengda in the movie "Cai Li Fo Fist".
In 2012, he starred in the movie "Bagua Grandmaster" with Liang Xiaolong and Xiong Xinxin.
In 2014, he starred with Zhang Hanyu, Liang Jiahui and others in "Wise Tiger Mountain".
But these films, whether good or bad at the box office, did not let the audience notice Semyon's existence again, until he found another way and began to work in the big online movies.
In 2018, the online movie "The Blood Battle of the Thirteen Generals of the Great Han Dynasty" starring Xie Miao received 12.71 million points at the box office, with a Douban score of 6.0. The following year, he won the Best Actor Award in the Online Film Unit of the 3rd China Yinchuan Internet Film Festival.
Since then, Semyon has become a hot figure in the online movie circle.
In 2020, he starred in "Xin Abandoned Disease 1162" and received 15.28 million points at the box office, and the Douban score is still 6.0, which has been recognized by many audiences.
Later, the "Great God Monkey" series, "Broken God Record", "Shaolin Descending Demon" and so on also achieved good results.
Xie Miao's current fame is still incomparable with before, but he has gained a firm foothold in the field of nets, becoming a box office guarantee, and even more vaguely becoming a "big brother of the net".
The career has made great progress, and the feelings have long blossomed.
In 2012, Xie Miao's relationship with his girlfriend He Yanni was exposed. The following year, the two had a daughter "Jelly Bean".
He Yanni is not familiar with the name, and the roles he has played should have an impression.
She is the holy girl who has been accompanying Zi Xuan around in "Immortal Sword III", and she is also the princess in "Palace Lock Bead Curtain".
The double harvest of family and career has made Xie Miao one of the few child stars who has the potential to turn red.
And this, in fact, gives other child stars some good inspiration.
In 2020, when Cao Jun participated in "Actors Please Take Place", he said the question in his heart with red eyes: "Am I still suitable for being an actor?" ”
Although Chen Kaige said that "I never saw you as the 40th", and Er Dongsheng also said, "Wait a minute, you add me WeChat, I will find you when I have a play", but in the end Cao Jun was eliminated.
Similar to Cao Jun and Xie Miao, there are many "child stars" who have lost their fame but are constantly seeking the road to becoming popular, Shi Xiaolong, Hao Shaowen, Xie Yunshan...
Different eras have different market environments, in the early years there were not so many people who wanted to be actors, so there were more opportunities in terms of resources, popularity, etc., but now everyone has sharpened their heads and squeezed in, the number of actors is far more than the market demand, especially the competition of cinema films can only be described as fierce.
Online movies are different, and they have only been developed for seven or eight years since they first proposed concepts and standards in 2014.
In the public impression, the net university is equal to shoddy, bad film, in fact, this is the market must go through a stage, and it is the current chaos of the net university, but it gives these former child stars the opportunity.
Now it is the traffic in the right place, capital boost, TV series, cinema resources are not enough for these people, and the "rotten" of the Internet University has become a chicken rib that many people "want to touch and are afraid of low status".
In fact, this "chicken rib", when used well, may not be able to become a chicken leg.
In August this year, "Tough Guy Gun God" broke the record of the NetDa with a score of 8.3, and until now it has maintained a high score of 7.2, which even exceeds most of the cinema movies.
If the quality of "Tough Guy Gun God" begins to become the standard of the net university, then the net university is likely to become a new cake in the future.
At that time, the actors who have been working here for many years will definitely have another wave of traffic dividends, and their acting skills have also improved greatly in the process.
So, what is the "bad film" that is now scolded by the audience?
Click "attention" and encourage encouragement. (｡ ・`ω´･)
