"Remember I didn't? Little Tianle in "A Family Rushes Forward"!" The tall and slightly baby fat boy in front of him smiled and squinted to introduce himself to everyone.
In the spring of 2004, 7-year-old Li Junhao became the actor of Sun Tzu Xiaotianle in Hunan's first indoor dialect drama "A Family Of Old and Young Rushing Forward", and since then he has become the hottest child star in Hunan. However, with the end of the series, Li Junhao, who has accompanied everyone on the screen for 9 years, finally faded out of everyone's sight and began the ordinary life of a teenager. On March 11, at Li Junhao's home, the local child star told the reporter of Today's Women's Daily/Fengwang for the first time about his different experiences in studying and finding direction in the years after leaving the screen.
"Six years of elementary school, I should have only been in school for two years"
"My dad works in a bank, my mom does her own business, and if I hadn't been 6 years old and won the title of 'Absolute Little Man' in Hunan Jingshi Variety Show, I wouldn't have been able to act." Seeing the big boy who was nearly one meter and eight meters tall in front of him, it was really difficult for the reporter to equate him with Xiao Tianle.
I think back then, the naughty and cute little Tianle was the favorite little grandson of Hunan Daddy Jiao, who lived in Dingwangtai, as long as he walked on the road, he would be recognized by the audience, and the adults lovingly pinched his face and even hugged him to kiss him, which was a common thing. Li Junhao recalled that from the beginning of "A Family Rushing Forward", he was also a little red person with "special" treatment at Yuying Primary School, "At that time, because I had to shoot drama every week, the teachers were specially approved for my study time." Although there may be 3 days a week to shoot on the set, Li Junhao's academic performance at that time was quite good. "In the six years of elementary school, the total time spent in school, I think it is only more than two years, but when I was in elementary school, my grades have always been in the top five of the annual grade." Li Junhao said that when he was in elementary school, he should have relied on his small intelligence to get a high score, but this kind of luck began to fail in junior high school.
In junior high school, Li Junhao entered the Changsha Chinese School, from the simple two or three coursework in elementary school to seven or eight homework, Li Junhao said that his grades suddenly declined. "At that time, we had to take 9 classes a day, and if I went to shoot, the classes that fell behind could only be made up at night. But many courses, such as history and politics, take time to do, so my grades decline very quickly. In order to let Li Junhao keep up with the pace of learning, his parents reported him to a lot of cram schools, Olympic mathematics, English, history... Each homework is taught one-on-one. However, this passive way of learning made Li Junhao very disgusted. "In those years, my biggest wish was to be able to sleep on the weekends, but filming performances and making up classes really made me feel stupid." He couldn't stand it, and he would tell the teacher that he would take a break when he was sick. In the three years of junior high school, in the tension of making up lessons while filming, Li Junhao entered Changsha No. 11 Middle School with upper-middle grades and popular popularity.
"Learning vocal music, acting or broadcast hosting, I am confused every time I go to school"
When entering the eleventh middle school in Changsha, the grandparents in "A Family Rush Forward" suggested that Li Junhao learn to act, "They always said that I was very talented in acting, and if I learned to act, I should be able to become a good actor." However, after entering the eleventh middle school, Li Junhao learned that although he was an art student, the school only had music and vocal classes. "I used to just sing a song on stage and make a performance, but I didn't expect to have to take exams such as auditioning and ear training when I first entered school, which I really didn't know at all." As a result, Li Junhao, who was a little star at the time, was assigned to Class D after the music theory and other examinations.
Although he was assigned to the worst professional level class, this time it stimulated Li Junhao's desire to learn. "This time, my mother found me a tutor for a professional course, and I was very conscious of learning." After a semester of intense tuition, Li Junhao finally squeezed into the A class of professional classes. Since then, Li Junhao began to learn vocal music, from just filming on the set, to practicing acoustic folk singing every day, Li Junhao gradually set a goal for himself: he would be admitted to the Shanghai Conservatory of Music in the future. "But my family and I thought it was too simple, if we wanted to study at the Shanghai Conservatory of Music, we had to find a teacher in advance to make up for the professional courses, and the teachers in Shanghai also suggested that I re-study my senior year of high school and stay in Shanghai to study vocal music that year." When it was difficult for a first-line music conservatory to enter and a poor school did not want to study, the School of Mass Media extended an olive branch to Li Junhao. At this time, the relatives in "A Family Rush Forward" also suggested that Li Junhao should study a good major in Hunan. After several struggles, in the summer of 2014, Li Junhao did not take the college entrance examination, but entered the mass media broadcast hosting major as an art special enrollment.
"Debuted from a child star, still holding a stage dream, I want to be a variety show café in the future"
"Don't take pictures of me, my biggest goal in front of me is to lose weight!" Watching the reporter take out the camera, Li Junhao was suddenly a little embarrassed, and before he could finish speaking, he ran to the bathroom to tease his hair.
Li Junhao revealed very frankly: since learning to sing, he has gained weight, and he has been worried about losing weight with more than 160 pounds, "In fact, I also control only eating two bowls of rice, but I am also a long body now, and I always can't help but want to eat." Originally a child star, and now learning to broadcast hosting, Li Junhao knows that if he wants to stay on the stage, there is no way out without losing weight."
Although he is already a sophomore, Li Junhao did not live on campus but chose the form of day school, getting up at 6:45 every morning and taking a bus to Xingsha for class. "A lot of classmates live outside the house, but it is easy to indulge in unconstrained days, so I prefer to work harder every day." When he really walked into the university, the pressure of his studies suddenly disappeared, but surrounded by students studying art, Li Junhao felt that his advantages were not so obvious, and sometimes he would appear confused and anxious. "Now many people take the art school and major every year, and they always feel that learning art can take shortcuts. But when I walked into this circle, I found that many of my classmates around me did not know where their path and direction were after graduation. ”
Perhaps because he came into contact with society earlier and experienced several times of confusion about his sense of direction, Li Junhao would think more for himself. "First of all, I must be going to graduate school, I want to go to Zhejiang and Guangzhou for further study, and then I want to be admitted to Hunan to work." Li Junhao was assigned to the variety show group in school, and he also felt that he was suitable for variety shows, so it was his goal to be a variety show café.
Along the way as a child star, Li Junhao has more attention and luck than his peers, but also has more anxiety than his peers. "Everyone knows that I am a child star, but in fact, I have a wait-and-see attitude to watch me grow." Li Junhao said very directly, "Fortunately, I am born an optimist and can calmly accept all kinds of changes." Although he didn't care about the outside world's evaluation, when the reporter mentioned whether he was willing to do behind the scenes if he couldn't become a variety show café in the future, Li Junhao also said firmly: "I don't want to do it behind the scenes, or I have to complete my dream on the stage!"
