Mention the name of Wu Diwen, an actor, may not be familiar to many audiences now, but when it comes to a science fiction drama called "Absolute Plan" filmed in 2004, I believe it will open the door of memory for many viewers, the drama brings together Popular stars such as Hu Bing, Huang Yi, Zhang Ting, and Wu Diwen is a newcomer, but the role he played in it is extremely impressive.
187 male model standard height, exquisite facial features, fashion avant-garde clothing hairstyles, such as the teenager who came out of the comic, and Lan Yeming's unswerving love for the heroine to death is the heart of many female audiences.
Wu Diwen did not have any acting experience before playing the role of 'Lan Ye Ming', but he could grasp the affection and simplicity of the role in a moderate place, so he was evaluated as the first act to create a classic. Wu Diwen has also gained more favor as a result, and is called the most potential power idol by the industry, and many viewers predict that he will become popular.
However, in recent years, his works in front of the public have been very few, and even if there are, they are mostly small supporting roles with few scenes, which are far from the audience's expectations, so what has he experienced in these years? Let's review how he debuted in the first place.
In 2001, the Beauty in Flower City Advertising Rising Star Competition was held in Guangzhou. Many young people who want to develop are gathered together. Trying to change your fate through competitions. Wu Diwen won the championship with his excellent appearance and excellent performance.
After that, he was photographed by the extremely powerful "Flintstone" model economic record company, was reused, was first recommended to star in the science fiction drama "Absolute Plan", successfully played the role of "Blue Wild Akira", gained a lot of audience popularity, and then took over the Ford Focus advertisement, Fluttering Advertisement, during which he also won the Best Fashion Male Model Award. He has starred in two TV series such as "Lie Ai", and he has become the envy of many people in his early 20s.
In 2006, Wu Diwen appeared in the talent contest of Oriental Satellite TV's "Come On, Good Boy". Except for Wu Diwen, the other contestants are all young young male players with zero acting experience. This made many viewers who paid attention to Wu Diwen a little surprised.
Strange, why should an idol artist with a good future participate in this grassroots draft? Isn't this an actor who played the classic role of Akira Rano? Why do you have to take the number plate to the cold eyes of the host and be judged by the judges? All kinds of questions are frequently thrown up.
First of all, we must mention the 2005 girls' talent show "Super Girl". Although this is only a variety show held by a TV station, the divergence is as rapid and powerful as a hurricane. Ratings and national popularity are unprecedented. A few ordinary student girls or ordinary singing enthusiasts with empty acting experience, with this stage, burst out from the original faint fluorescence in a short period of time. Transformed from a grassroots amateur singer into a popular star with countless fans. The light of Li Yuchun, Zhou Bichang, Zhang Liangying, He Jie and others even exceeded that of many stars.
After that, many similar programs that changed soups without changing medicines popped up like mushrooms after the rain, stirring the hearts of many ordinary young people who were eager to shine on the stage. Even some young artists with small achievements intend to gain higher popularity and more opportunities. This includes Wu Diwen. Although there are also good treatment in Flint. But as a young and impulsive man, he longed for a more brilliant life. And at that time, there was also a rumor that Oriental Satellite TV invited him to participate in the competition, in order to increase the influence of the program.
Wu Diwen, who aspires to stand on a more shining stage, after ending his cooperation with Flint. Resolutely decided to participate in the 06 "Lycra Cheer Good Boy" draft organized by Oriental Satellite TV. This is the first male talent show in China, and it is also highly anticipated.
Wu Diwen's competition process was not smooth, first in the fan canvassing outdoor activities, some other players' supporters publicly questioned why he, as an artist who has already achieved success, why he still competes with other players, whether it is unfair to other players, and the young and young Wu Diwen burst into tears on the spot.
During the game, he also encountered a lot of verbal attacks on the Internet. In the end, Wu Diwen won the championship in Shanghai and the fourth place in the final national finals with hard work. However, the later Wu Diwen did not shine with this show as he originally imagined, but was accused by members of his group of "no credit" and "deception" in front of the media. So is Wu Diwen really as they say it is?
Let's first tell about Wu Diwen's experience after participating in "Come On, Good Boy".
Because there is a hard rule, the top ranking players participating in the competition must sign a contract with smg, an agency owned by Oriental Satellite TV. Therefore, after the birth of the "good boy" national top four, Wu Diwen signed a contract with smg.
But unlike the expectations of fans, Wu Diwen did not get a chance to fly alone because of the excellent result of the "good boys" final four, but was immediately arranged into a temporary group as soon as the game was over. The name of the group is "Brothers Union", other members are Zhong Kai, Chen Zeyu, Mao Fangyuan, in addition to Chen Zeyu is the tenth place in the country, Mao Fangyuan and Zhong Kai are early eliminated players, acting careers are zero foundation.
Is this fair to Wu Diwen? He had a good score in the show business before he entered the draft! Many of Wu's supporters have raised such questions. But Wu Diwen, who has an easy-going personality and talks about credit, is a basketball player and pays attention to team spirit, and at that time, he did not think too much about himself and promised to come down. He believed in the company, but what he did not expect was that what awaited him was an endless road of "announcements". Initially, the company funded the "Brotherhood" to shoot and produce several mv song albums, including "The Long Date", "Always Be There", "Secret Number" and so on.
Then, there was a long road of publicity and commercial announcements, and the itinerary was arranged by the company in advance, almost every three days to run a city, and the cycle began. Due to the different starting points, different experiences, and different feelings, the members of Wu Diwen's group are very comfortable in the face of these business announcements, because this is an opportunity for them to enter the entertainment industry and bring them a stable income for them who have zero experience in art.
However, for Wu Diwen, who has made achievements in the show business circle, running a city trip every three days is also equivalent to cutting off the opportunity for Wu Diwen to enter the crew to shoot the main role, it is reported that Wu Diwen has pushed off several dramas and personal advertising endorsements. In this way, Wu Diwen returned like a pawn in the back and forth commercial publicity for three years, during which he also saw stitches and needles to shoot several plays, because of the tight business performance itinerary, the shooting cycle of several scenes filmed alone was up to ten days, and some days were filmed, and the scenes could be imagined, and the few were pitiful.
Especially the role of Jin Liang in "Foreigner", the role is rare, the role is still a cheeky scumbag who eats soft rice and spends his girlfriend's money. From the idol "Lan Ye Ming" to the role of a soft rice scumbag who runs a dragon set, Wu Diwen's development on the road of acting makes people sigh and can't understand it.
In this way, instead of letting Wu Diwen light surround him, he was like a yellow-skinned orange smeared with black oil, and the bright colors of the past were all gone. And 06 "Good Boy" of the same period of the champion Pu Bajia, the third place Wu Jianfei and now the best development of the national seventh place Ma Tianyu are free solo, has their own personal works, Ma Tianyu also released a personal music album "Damn Tenderness".
In the face of the current situation, Wu Diwen did not complain, but worked hard to cooperate with the commercial performance publicity everywhere until the expiration of the contract. Three years have passed. Just after the contract period expired, Wu Diwen took over the 3D movie "Illusion" directed by Hua Yuan, which made fans look forward to it. But the fans were so happy that their mouths were not closed, and their faces turned cloudy, because a video with a glare news headline exploded on major video websites such as Tudou.
The three people in the video are Wu Diwen's teammates in the "Brotherhood League", the title at the bottom is "The former brothers turned against each other, And Wu Diwen abandoned the Brotherhood and flew alone", and the words of the three brothers in the past in the video were also very in line with the title, and reprimanded Wu Diwen for being absent from the new album signing, not answering the phone, ignoring the collective interests, and facing Wu Diwen's denial of not answering the phone.
Zhong Kai, the captain of the "Brothers' League", directly rebuked Wu Diwen with "Wu Diwen is deceiving everyone", while another teammate, Chen Zeyu, had already satirized Wu Diwen with words such as "Wu Diwen is sick and not lightly ill" in a previous interview, while Mao Fangyuan expressed his disdain for Wu Diwen by leaving. Wu Diwen also encountered online insults and was accused of being a "white-eyed wolf".
In the face of the joint attack of the former "brothers", Wu Diwen did not fight back in English, but simply described the sad experience of the past few years in the blog, saying that in the past few years, he had fulfilled his contractual obligations with painstaking efforts, and when the contract ended, he only went to pick up the play, which was completely consistent with what the onlookers saw.
Wu Diwen even said an insider that many people did not know in the response, as soon as the contract ended, the staff of SMG went to Wu Diwen to ask him to renew his contract. Wu Diwen did not make a fool of himself this time, refused, and the unwilling company pushed other teammates to find reasons to attack Wu Diwen. Wu Diwen only issued a cry: Why can anyone go, just refuse to let me go! Oh, my God! Isn't it enough to exploit Wu Diwen! Was it that from the very beginning, Wu Diwen was put into the group to limit his development? Fans began to see the truth and were indignant for Wu Diwen.
After the storm, Wu Diwen was able to terminate the contract, the movie "Illusion" continued to shoot, and the audience who supported him thought that he could usher in the willow dark flowers, but strangely, after the filming of "Illusion" was completed, the film has not been able to meet the audience so far, just like the name of this movie, it is just a vain illusion.
Wu Diwen, who dreamed of a music album, signed a company called "Jiejia Media" after that, the company promised to help him make a music album, and also asked him to shoot a real gun with an explosion scene of mv, fortunately there was no accident, but in the end, Wu Diwen risked his life to shoot the mv was blocked by the company, Wu Diwen expressed dissatisfaction with the company's words and deeds, and finally resolutely decided to leave.
Despite the ups and downs along the way, Wu Diwen continued his acting career, and after that, he also acted in several parts of the heavier dramas, including "Going Abroad" filmed in Africa and Cambodia, and "The Afterword to the Great Ming and Dark Investigation" starring Yao Qiu, and "The Book of the Death of Western Xia" co-starring Wang Dongcheng and Jia Qing, but these plays were almost never broadcast on TELEVISION!
Only a few dramas such as "Athena Goddess" starring Ye Xuan and Mo Xiaoqi, and Yao Di, South Korean actor Kim Zhenxun, and Fei Bei starring "Tiptoeing to Kiss Love" can be broadcast on satellite TV, except for the "Athena Goddess" Detective Ouyang Che, who is both good and evil, and it is generally difficult to surpass the role of "Lan YeMing". In the next few years, Wu Diwen got married and had a daughter, and some small-cost web dramas he took over had little influence, and the traces on the silver screen became more and more faint, and everyone felt that he had withdrawn from the circle.
However, recently, his suspense drama "Twelfth Second", which was filmed in 2016 with Wan Qian and Ren Zhong based on online texts, was broadcast at the Hunan Satellite TV Monsoon Theater.
The theme of this drama has been controversial during the trial, and finally it was broadcast, Wu Diwen played the number one villain Yang Qian, the role behavior is not flattering, the role is not much at present, but each episode can show his face, but also see that he has put a lot of effort into this character, regardless of the image, trying his best to show the dark psychology of the character. As if to tell him that he is no longer the "idol" Wu Diwen, but a dedicated actor who sacrifices his image in order to create a good role.
Perhaps the broadcast of "Twelfth Second" did not allow Wu Diwen to turn the situation around, but whether at the peak of his career or the trough period, he always maintained a normal heart, adhered to the principle of being a man, lived a plain and fulfilling life, he did not want others to sigh for him, he had his own interpretation of life. Of course, I also hope that he can bring more roles to everyone.
