Today's young people, the impression of Tian Liang may still stay on the "Sen Di His Daddy" in "Where Daddy Goes".
However, in the 2000 Sydney Olympic diving event, Tian Liang, who had a green and childish face, stood on a 10-meter high platform and jumped, accompanied by clean and neat movements, perfect body lines, and unbiased water angles, and the splash disappeared.
"It's done! first! Tian Liang has a proud identity - Olympic champion, which is much more difficult than "entertainment star", "Ye Yiqian's husband" and "super daddy".
It is difficult to imagine such a career, a total of 70 medals, but was removed from the national team at the peak of the period, and then turned to the entertainment industry, but still mixed up What has happened to Tian Liang.
Tian Liang won the championship
Tian Liang was born in Chongqing on August 27, 1979.
When he was a child, Tian Liang was naughty and active, liked to jump around without a straight shape, and it may be precisely because of this hyperactive personality that he was destined to embark on the path of diving athletes.
When he was 7 years old, Tian Liang, who was taking music lessons, was suddenly told by the class teacher to go to the playground for a standing long jump physical fitness test.
The two white lines 1.6 meters apart on the cement floor became an obstacle for most of the children in the class, but only Tian Liang, a child who looked weak and weak, jumped the line steadily at three opportunities.
It turned out that on this day, Xu Guilu, the diving coach of Chongqing Youth First Amateur Sports School, came to select diving seedlings, and it was these three jumps that made him jump from the cement floor to the diving platform on the Olympic field.
Since then, Tian Liang's life has one more task - diving training.
In 1987, Tian Liang launched an attack on the Sichuan diving provincial team. Because of the hard work of training on weekdays and the unique talent, Tian Liang was favored by Deng Ping, the coach of the Sichuan provincial team, and was lucky to be selected into the provincial team.
After half a year of qualification training, Tian Liang officially began his career in 1988. In order to test his training results, Tian Liang signed up for the "Young Bud Cup" National Diving Championship held in Zhangzhou, Fujian Province.
In this game, Tian Liang did not win the fantasy medals and applause, and after three rounds of competition, he got the result of elimination.
At that time, Tian Liang entered a period of downturn in the early stage of his career. Many talented athletes are prone to stagnation because of the initial downturn and question their chosen career.
But Tian Liang did not give up diving - after experiencing this failure, he realized the gap between himself and other players, so after returning to the team, he was more active in training.
In 1990, he was transferred to the Shaanxi Provincial Team and studied under Zhang Ting.
Zhang Ting, this person, is not too famous, but he has changed Tian Liang's life - it is under his cultivation and training that Tian Liang's diving skills will become more and more skilled, and the results achieved will become better and better.
In 1993, due to his outstanding performance, 14-year-old Tian Liang was selected by the national team. From this point on, Zhou Jihong, China's first diving champion, became Tian Liang's new coach.
In 1996, Tian Liang represented the Chinese diving team in the Atlanta Olympic Games, participating in the highest standard competition for the first time, and the lack of experience of the teenagers was inevitably tense, and finally ended this Olympic journey with a fourth place result.
Teenagers have their own juvenile mania. A failure does not mean anything, only 17-year-old Tian Liang through training to continuously narrow the gap with the top players, towards his heart of the Olympic champion dream.
Time turned to the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games, Tian Liang after his teammates missed the double 10m platform gold medal, held back the pressure, went all out, and pocketed the coveted Olympic gold medal, a moment of fame.
Since then, Tian Liang's diving life has been like opening a plug-in, sweeping major awards at home and abroad, becoming a well-known diving prince.
Tian Liang has won more than 70 medals in his career, large and small, a real medal harvester.
Gold medal moment
Just when Tian Liang was at his peak, that is, after winning the medal at the 2004 Athens Olympic Games, in January 2005, a news that Tian Liang was removed from the diving national team for serious violations of the team's regulations and was transferred back to the provincial team shocked the whole country and even the world.
This change is undoubtedly a major blow to Tian Liang's life, and comments about "the diving prince fell to the altar" and "gave up his athlete career to become a star" were pressed on this teenager in his early 20s.
At this time, Tian Liang ushered in the first major setback in his life. He was miserable and worried, but he still believed in his dream of diving.
"I will go back to Beijing!" This is Tian Liang's promise to the second elder, and it is also a goal for himself.
After returning to the provincial team, Tian Liang practiced hard day and night and won the championship at the National Games that year.
When he thought that his return was promising, fate seemed to joke with him, and he did not wait for the return of the national team until 2006.
When it comes to this retirement storm, there is another key figure in addition to Tian Liang.
That was Zhou Jihong, then head coach of the diving national team, who cultivated many Olympic champions for the Chinese diving industry, and since the Los Angeles Olympic Games, the Chinese diving team has won more than 40 gold medals for the country, successfully creating a diving dream team that makes opponents feel frightened.
However, in addition to the glory of the title on the head coach, there are also some disputes that are still chaotic, such as "insisting on expelling Tian Liang", "no matter how good Tian Liang jumps, only 8.5 points", "using his authority to set the championship" and so on.
This can't help but make us wonder the real reason why Tian Liang was removed from the national team.
Therefore, there are rumors that on the day of the Tenth Games, except for one referee who gave Tian Liang a score of 9.5, the rest of the referees invariably scored 8.5 points.
Afterwards, the referee, who scored 9.5 points, said: "We are all puppets, like diving, whoever wants to win the championship, who is the champion, will imply how many points we give to the players, and suppress the scores of other athletes." ”
When he was deeply investigated who was referring to above, the referee replied: "He came directly to the referee's room and told us that no matter how well Tian Liang jumped, it would be 8.5!" ”
After fixing the door, Zhou Jihong did not make any explanation and did not finish it.
Of course, the official explanation mentioned that the reason for Tian Liang's removal was because he repeatedly violated training rules, engaged in commercial activities, and prepared for entering the entertainment circle.
Therefore, Tian Liang, who committed crimes against the wind, became the best negative case of Zhou Jihong's discipline in rectifying the team.
In 2007, Ryo Ta was officially retired.
Missing the 2008 Beijing Olympics is Tian Liang's lifelong regret.
After Tian Liang retired in 2007, he signed a contract with Emperor Entertainment and officially opened another copy of his life - the dream showbiz.
In 2007, he participated in the inspirational love movie "Izumi Hibiscus".
In June of the same year, his partner An Yixuan starred in the costume mythological love drama "Cowherd Weaver Girl", playing the hard-working cowherd.
This is the first time tian liang has played the male lead, and the strangeness of the performance and the meticulous grasp of the sound table have made this layman feel difficult.
Tian Liang knows that there is no real ability, in this ever-changing entertainment circle, it is only a matter of time before it is eliminated.
Letting go of the aura of past athletes and concentrating on improving yourself is the only way out.
He is well aware of his current status as a newcomer to the acting industry, and must constantly polish his acting skills and accumulate performance experience.
As a result, he immediately participated in the love movie "No Longer Let You Be Alone" directed by Liu Weiqiang, in which he played his younger brother Fang Zhencong, who suffered from communication disorders.
Tian Liang's performance in the play
The film achieved a mid-to-high score of 7.0 on Douban. What is more interesting is that Tian Liang in the movie, due to the communication barrier, only has one or two lines, and other performances rely on gestures and eyes and expressions.
What makes people feel amazing is that Tian Liang, who has no lines, has become the highlight of the movie.
During that time, Tian Liang's chances of appearing in movies and TV series were very high, although most movies and TV series did not have high ratings.
Some viewers even hated him very much: diving is not good at jumping, he was expelled, and he didn't have any acting skills to act in movies? Do you want a face?
However, through these works of Tian Liang, the audience also gradually discovered that Tian Liang came to the present step by step, and finally gradually let go of his dissatisfaction with his departure from the team and slowly accepted his identity as an actor.
It is true that his acting skills have not yet reached the pinnacle of perfection, but he has been trying very hard to try various new roles, and the progress is visible.
In addition to filming, Tian Liang also spent a large part of his experience on charity.
In 2008, the first China Star Charity Ranking Award Ceremony was held at the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse in Beijing.
And Tian Liang, as the first batch of 10 stars on the list, was listed among them.
And this is only the second year that Tian Liang has stepped into the entertainment industry.
Subsequently, in 2009, Tian Liang participated in the "Ten Thousand Miles of Congenital Heart Disease" activity, and continued to allocate a large part of his energy to focus on charity.
Tian Liang said: Doing charity is addictive.
Tian Liang would never have thought that the reason why he became popular all over the country and exploded on the Internet was not filming, but taking his daughter to participate in variety shows.
In April 2013, Tian Liang was invited to participate in the outdoor parent-child reality show "Where Did Daddy Go" created by Hunan Satellite TV.
As the first reality show in China to focus on the topic of fathers and children, Tian Liang contributed a lot of laughs to the audience.
Tian Liang father and daughter
For example, in one episode, in the game mission of the day, Tian Liang rowed a small boat on the lake, and after reaching the end, accidentally fell into the lake.
The daughter Mori Butterfly, who was standing on the shore, shouted and said, "My father fell into the water!" ”
Netizens saw this picture and almost all laughed heartily. In everyone's opinion, this may be the biggest splash in Tian Liang's "career".
Some people say that the original champion father also has things that he can't figure out.
After "Where Daddy Goes" went viral, Tian Liang also participated in several reality SHOWs and has been active in this field until 2018.
After 2018, he seems to have put more of his experience into family, career and philanthropy.
Tian Liang and his wife
Today, they have invested in 13 companies.
In July this year, the flood in Henan, Tian Liang and his wife donated 1 million yuan. Some people say, you are so rich, take your daughter to the plane also have to sit in first class, why only donate 1 million?
Later, netizens learned that in addition to the 1 million, Tian Liang also donated a large number of materials, including the storm boat that was urgently needed on the front line of the anti-disaster.
We can think that Tian Liang is one of the most successful athletes in the transformation.
After being removed from the diving team, he did not complain about himself or give up on himself, on the contrary, he opened up many new paths - filming, filming reality shows, and making investments.
Every road is not easy to walk.
However, when we look back at Tian Liang's growth experience, we will find that failure is not terrible, rumors and doubts are not terrible, as long as you can have the courage to open up, you can also achieve achievements in new fields.
When the aura fades, it may not be a fresh start.
