The most famous are Ashton Chen and Hao Shaowen. They have strong commercial value and fan base, which makes the artist class have a new division.

After entering the new century, there are more and more child stars, including Private Zhang Ga starring Xie Mengwei, hence the name "Gazi".

However, the blessing of "child star" status did not make Xie Mengwei's Star Road sing all the way.

On the contrary, since he was admitted to China Opera Academy in 2006 with the first place in the major of health, Dan, Jing and Ugliness in China, there is no bright spot in his life.

The road to performing arts has also been "reduced" from the protagonist to the supporting role, and finally it can only be mixed into the "three lows" (low cost, low quality and low acting) online drama.

The recent cartoon "Ambition" starring him is undoubtedly another proof.

This is a good hand, but is it broken?

Yes, it's not true!

Xie Mengwei once said in an interview, "It may be doomed that I will never be a genius in my life.".

After graduating from China Theatre Academy, he accepted several plays, but his reputation was not ideal, and he even questioned himself for a time.

Coupled with today's traffic age, his appearance is not pleasing, and the image of "tough guy" makes him gradually marginalized by the market.

Even in the end, he acquiesced: the identity of an actor is no longer important, and making a bad film is more like a way of life.

After the advent of the live broadcast era, he put down all the "persistence" and devoted himself wholeheartedly to it. While harvesting wealth, he also gave up his last stubbornness about "actor dream".

In retrospect, there are quite a few "entertainment Fang Zhongyong" like Xie Mengwei. Once they became popular, they finally disappeared from the public.

Today Pigou will talk to you about the decline history of four mainland child stars. While exploring the truth, I will see if I can find some suggestions for today's young actors-

1, Tinker Bell Xie Yunshan

At the age of six, Xie Yunshan began to contact the filming of movies and TV series.

That year, he made his official debut by starring in The Adventure of a Bean.

Natural spirituality and wonderful performances made many people like this little boy at once.

Since then, he has appeared in many film and television works, such as Mulan, The New King Cat and Mulan. This is very efficient.

However, just when he devoted himself to his studies and career, his parents refused many invitations to play for him on the grounds of his studies, so that he could concentrate on his studies.

Until 2003, when he saw the hit of Nine-year-old County Grandfather starring peers Cao Jun and Ashton Chen, Xie Yunshan couldn't help begging his parents, and finally got the Young Imperial Envoy, which was launched the following year.

The play has a strong lineup. Although the protagonist Xie Yunshan is young, her acting skills are online, and she has a lot of mom fans.

Jin Dong, a veteran cadre at that time, was only a supporting actor who played the eunuch.

With her wonderful performance in this drama, Xie Yunshan, who was only 14 years old, reached the peak of her life and made the stage of the Spring Festival Evening for three consecutive years.

It can be said that at that time, he became the "first brother" among child stars.

However, this kind of scenery did not last long. In 2005, he starred in The Condor Heroes and played Little Yang Guo. At that time, he had many years of acting experience but was "crushed" by Liu Yifei, who was still a newcomer.

At the same time that his acting skills were questioned, his career was also declining, and his drama was sharply reduced.

In fact, this symptom has been revealed since he starred in "Little Man Liu".

The unchangeable acting routine, coupled with the visual greasy of "selling cute" with age, also made the audience feel a little "disgusted".

However, he is still immersed in his own world and hasn't changed at all.

In 2009, he was admitted to the North Film Performance Department and became classmates with Wu and Chun-Li.

The aura of "star" has become the shackles of Xie Yunshan since the beginning of school, so it is difficult to put down your posture and devote yourself to your studies.

Poor grades and weak performance ability have also become typical "labels" during his college years.

The 20 15 film "qigong" started shooting, and only one shot was shot 38 times by Xie Yunshan before it was barely approved by the director.

The final presentation effect is not recognized by the audience.

How much I liked it at the beginning and how disappointed I am now. Amid criticism, Xie Yunshan walked out of his "star dream" with frustration.

In 20 17, he switched to be a director, and the online drama launched was also unremarkable.

It can be said that on him, we can't see the growth trace of the actor, and there is no precipitation at all, which is far less than the efforts of Zray and others.

Coupled with their own appearance conditions are not outstanding, it seems not unexpected to be eliminated.

Today, Xie Yunshan is 365,438 years old and still single. To this end, he has been on a blind date program. Surprisingly, this former "child star" was neglected.

He said that he still loves the performing arts, which is one of his "obsessions".

However, only thinking without action, his final outcome will only be to enter a narrow gap and leave the scene in a daze.

2. You Haoran

In 2004, when Xie Yunshan was at the peak of his life, a family comedy Family with Children won the favor of several young actors.

Among them is You Haoran, who is only eight years old.

As the youngest actor in the play, You Haoran is famous.

As early as when he was three and a half years old, he became famous overnight with a public service advertisement.

In Family with Children, You Haoran's clever and clean eyes made countless audiences call him a "cute" god.

In those years when he became famous, he also wrote many works, such as "Big House Gate" and "The Truth for You".

But after that, You Haoran "disappeared", supposedly to finish his studies.

Obviously, You Haoran didn't understand at that time.

Many years later, when he appeared in front of the audience again, he was already a burly and greasy "strong man", which had nothing to do with "Meng".

After a long silence, he also thought about filming, but he had no choice but to apply for Beiying.

Unfortunately, the appearance conditions made him brush for two years in a row, and it was not until the third year of high school that he successfully entered school.

He was 23 years old that year, and Zray, the "elder brother", had successfully transformed from a residual crime into a young actress, while Andy, the "elder sister", had become a popular actress in the circle.

Only he is still in the embarrassing situation of "expired child star".

In fact, there are many good actors with poor looks and amateur backgrounds in the entertainment circle, such as Bo Huang.

But why did he become a "billion-dollar film emperor"?

It is because his acting skills are amazing, real and shocking.

And this, you don't understand.

After entering the school, You Haoran was very ambitious and wanted to overtake from the corner of the online drama, so he "hurried" to take the movie "So Lovely Us".

But he soon turned over because of his out-of-place appearance and clumsy acting skills.

He also tried to lose weight "by inspiration", but the result had no effect.

For him, it is normal that his appearance cannot be changed, his acting skills have not improved, and he has been "marginalized" or even forgotten by the audience.

What is even more puzzling, however, is that he is obsessed with e-sports while pursuing his ideals.

In his social dynamics, it is almost all news about e-sports.

He seems to be more professional and enthusiastic about games than acting. Maybe he can find long-lost happiness and confidence here.

Perhaps, his character and ability are not suitable for the entertainment circle. Once he became famous, he "hid" outside the circle and enjoyed a few years of comfort. When he turned around, the ecology of the industry had completely changed, and it was naturally extremely tortuous to start again.

Now, he seems to have seen through this.

As for whether it is a surprise or drifting away, this ending will be left to time to verify!

3. Cao Jun

Cao Jun loved kung fu movies since he was a child, and dreamed of becoming a martial arts actor.

Therefore, when he was sent to the Children's Palace by his parents to study martial arts, he was very happy, which was completely different from Ashton Chen's experience.

At the age of seven, he participated in the Shanghai Junior Wushu Competition and entered the cast of "The True Monk" because of his eye-catching performance.

1996, the play became an instant hit, and the young Cao Jun conquered the audience with his handsome martial arts movements and natural acting skills.

He was eight years old that year and became famous overnight.

With this drama, he won the Best Newcomer Award in the Second Asian Television Festival, and then starred in the sequel "Twelve Bronze Men of the True Little Monk", and the ratings also exploded.

It can be seen that Cao Jun's fame is by no means accidental. His acting skills and popularity are an effective guarantee for creating "explosions".

So, on 1999, a filmmaker specially tailored a Xian Xia play-Nezha the Lotus Boy for Cao Jun.

Nezha, played by him in the play, is amazing in several stages, from being naughty and presumptuous at birth to being sensible and mature after his resurrection.

Not surprisingly, this play is equally popular.

After entering the new century, Cao Jun has also appeared in many hit dramas, such as "Woman Breaking Through Heaven" and "Legend of Jigong".

200 1 starring "Nine-year-old County Grandfather" is popular all over the country, with the support of Ashton Chen, Ng Man Tat and Cao Ying.

It can be said that at that time, he was full of stars.

Three years later, he transformed into a young actor with Lotus Lantern. After losing the aura of a child star, he also "talked" about love in the play.

Similarly, this drama has become a classic in many people's hearts. In those summers, CCTV 1 will repeat the play.

However, after the play, Cao Jun quietly left the film and television circle and concentrated on his studies. This was his own choice: only learning knowledge can support his performance.

However, he forgot the reality of "entertainment circle".

A few years after he left, the entertainment circle ushered in the era of "flow is king", and all kinds of small fresh meat appeared together.

When he came back, things had changed.

From 20 13 to 20 17, he appeared in many works. Although the acting is online, the response is mediocre.

Even more embarrassing, when he was discussed again, he was not an actor, but a boyfriend of Lyric.

In 2020, he participated in the second season of "Actor in Place". Although his performance in The Promise has been recognized by many directors, it is difficult to change the fate of being eliminated.

He even doubted himself: am I still fit to be an actor?

Director Dong Chengyi's suggestion is, "You should take the initiative. If you don't take the initiative to find a drama, the drama will not take the initiative to come to you. "

Yes, Cao Jun lacks everything but opportunities.

In the years when he chose to charge himself, he lost the opportunity to show his face. The entertainment circle with serious "homogeneity" can only be eliminated if he does not make up his mind to change.

Cao Jun, I'm really sorry. I hope he can make a comeback one day.

4. Xie Miao

Another pity is Xie Miao.

He once won the support of talented director Jing Wong. As soon as he made his debut, he played Jet Li's son and cooperated with Chow Yun Fat and Anita Mui.

At the peak, he was hailed as "Jet Li's successor", but in the end he disappeared from the entertainment circle because of 5000 red envelopes.

Xie Miao, born in 1984, loved martial arts when he was young and joined the martial arts team at the age of 7.

At the age of 9, he was selected by the drama "Five Ancestors of New Shaolin" to play the mature and mature Hong.

In the film, his movements and eyes are exactly the same as those of Jet Li, which attracted many audiences.

This film was very popular that year, and Xie Miao made her debut as a "popular child star".

As a well-known director in Hong Kong, Jing Wong took a fancy to the potential of Xie Miao, so he signed a contract with Xie Miao and brought it to Hong Kong for training.

Since then, Xie Miao has cooperated with many big coffees to shine in the classic movie "God of Gambling 2".

1995, he once again collaborated with Jet Li on Letter to Dad (also known as Chi Wei Long). At that time, he was 1 1 years old, and his acting skills were quite sophisticated, especially the "deep affection between father and son" in the film, which made people cry.

It is worth mentioning that this movie has gathered many villains on the screen, especially the big boss played by Yu Guangrong. The gas field is too big, I'm afraid the protagonists can't beat it.

After this movie, Xie Miao added a label: the second martial arts child star after Ashton Chen.

However, Xie Miao's popularity makes his parents worry about his son's future development. In their view, it may be better to enter the university according to the rules.

So they chose to seek advice from Jing Wong and Chow Yun Fat.

Jing Wong said that it is not easy to become famous, so we should learn to seize the opportunity.

But Chow Yun Fat said that he was only illiterate and Xie Miao should go back to school.

In this way, Xie Miao's parents listened to Fage's advice. Before he left, Fage gave Xie Miao a red envelope of HK$ 5,000.

However, from beginning to end, Xie Miao still wanted to continue his dream of being a "martial arts actor".

But sometimes, reality is so helpless.

After graduating from college, he worked as a physical education teacher in a university in Beijing for several years. After several considerations, he finally decided to resign and return to the entertainment circle.

Just like Cao Jun's experience, the entertainment circle at this time is dominated by traffic, and he has lost his position.

And several of his "testing water" works have had little effect.

Since he married his girlfriend He on 20/0/2, he has appeared in Wang's Woman, Beyond the Tiger Mountain, Thirteen Generals of the Big Man and other works, and even released his own movie Dream Song on a Journey to the West.

Although I paid tribute to Mr. Stephen Chow many times, the highly similar plot made him a target of public criticism.

Today, he is still looking for his own direction.

But as Jing Wong said, the entertainment circle will not give a person too many opportunities. The opportunity is missed, and it is really too difficult to get it back.

Conclusion:

"I missed the best opportunity and I was a little less persistent."

Some people say that if these child stars had seized the opportunity and not left, would the situation be different now?

Not necessarily!

It may take some luck for the entertainment circle to become famous, but if you want to stay popular, you must rely on hard work.

Take Andy for example. She just never left, but after she became famous, she was nothing to be afraid of. But with her own efforts, continuous efforts and transformation, she has achieved today's results.

It is not surprising that such child stars are blindly living in their own "old times", not seeking real progress, and heading for decline!
