The suspense drama "The Hidden Corner" produced by iQIYI Mist Theater is undoubtedly a big hit this summer: exquisite and realistic photography and sets, ups and downs, and of course, the most praised is the accurate acting skills of all employees online.
Needless to say that Qin Hao, Zhang Songwen, Wang Jingchun and other mature actors who often appear in literary and art films, to the surprise of many audiences, several small actors are full of spirit: the well-behaved Rong Zishan plays a good student Zhu Chaoyang, who has a high IQ in calm, and also has a gloomy and hateful side - he was trained by Jia Zhangke in "The Old Man of Mountains and Rivers"; Shi Pengyuan, who plays Yan Liang, has an untamable temperament and wild eyes.
And the most widely circulated is a close-up photo of Wang Shengdi's Pop with a full face: beautiful, pitiful, smart, will use his appearance to deceive adults, it is simply a "copy" of the young girl Asura, no wonder it is praised by many media as "the next Wen Qi".
Although the film and television circle in the first two years has a great momentum occupied by "traffic stars", there have also been many good actors, especially some post-00s "back waves", which cannot be underestimated. One of the most representative is Wen Qi, born in 2003, who won the Golden Horse Award for Best Supporting Actress at the age of 14 for "Blood Guanyin" and competed for the film in the same year with "Carnival".
"Blood Guanyin"
At the Golden Horse Awards the year before, Kong Weiyi, a young boy born in 2006 from the mainland, also made a splash. At the age of 10, he won the Golden Horse Award for Best New Actor for his first film , August , which also won Best Feature Film.
Born in 2003, Li Xinqiao, a Malaysian girl, won the Golden Jubilee Officiation at the Shanghai Film Festival at the age of 10 with the Hong Kong action film "Guild Wars".
In fact, whether at home or abroad, there is no shortage of actors who have been crowned important film and television awards at a young age. For example, wu Jingtao, a 9-year-old Dutch-Chinese who won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor and Best Newcomer for "Father and Son", and the Golden Horse Award for Best Supporting Actor, is also the first child star to win the Hong Kong Golden Film Awards and the Taiwan Golden Horse Awards.
For example, Xu Jiao, who was also selected by Zhou Xingchi at the age of 9 to star in "Yangtze River No. 7" and won the Best Newcomer Award of the Academy Awards - but unfortunately, this "false boy" who was quite good at acting at that time could not escape the spell of debut and peak.
The young acting school that Chinese audiences are most familiar with is none other than Zhang Zifeng. Born in 2001, she seems to be an old drama bone, and when she was 8 years old, she won the Best Newcomer Award at the 31st Hundred Flowers Awards for Popular Film with "Tangshan Earthquake" - the credibility of the Hundred Flowers Awards at that time was still OK.
Around the world, the most well-known child star is Shulan Temple, who was popular in the golden age of Hollywood in the 1930s , who began starring in movies at the age of 6 and won the 7th Academy Awards at the age of 7, becoming the first child ever to win an Oscar. By the time she was 10, she was already the most box-office star in the United States. However, as an adult, Temple is difficult to make greater achievements in the film circle.
The youngest actress in the history of world cinema is Vittoria Siviso, who won the 53rd (1996) Venetian Film Queen at the age of 4 with "Little Lone Star".
In recent years, the most impressive international child stars have been Abigail Branslin, who was born in 1996 and was nominated for best supporting actress at the 79th Academy Awards at the age of 10 with the cute little chubby girl in "Little Miss Sunshine".
Of course, more famous is the 14-year-old Yumi Yanagi Who won the Cannes Film Emperor for Hirokazu Kore-eda's "Nobody Knows", and the 30-year-old is now the backbone of the Japanese film industry, starring in the two final chapters of the 2018 manga adaptation "Gintama 2" and the original release this year, "The Heart of the Ranger Sword".
It can be seen that although the same young and famous, but young to win the award, but also does not guarantee that the young actors in the future on the road of acting has been smooth, whether they can become a truly mature acting school, but also depends on whether the individual can continue to hone their acting skills. But at least, Wang Shengdi gave us hope.
