If an actor who regards acting as his lifelong career says that he has no desire to be famous, it is probably a lie.
actor Zhao Longhao also had his struggles in the 27 years since his debut.
Just like he changed his name over and over again.
Zhao Chunyang , Zhao Chunyang , Zhao Chunyang, Zhao Chunyang , and now Zhao Longhao.
tried so hard, but it just took a while to work.
Unfortunately, reality is always cruel.
Zhao Longhao, who has no popularity and no awards, seems to have accepted his fate in the past two years.
Zhao Longhao, 50 years old this year, has completely "indulged" himself.
Weibo has been in a long-term non-login state. It does no marketing, no hype, no interviews, and no publicity. Apart from filming, it has almost no exposure.
What makes the audience feel even more embarrassed is that Zhao Longhao is also involved in all kinds of bad dramas.
Correspondingly, its position on the poster gradually moves from the middle to the side until there is no "place" left.
The audience is gradually forgetting him.
In fact, it is not that Zhao Longhao has not had his glory days, it is just that his fame has been "manufactured" by him.
For a capable actor, his salary will betray him, his popularity will betray him, and his awards will betray him, but his roles will not betray him, and neither will his works. When
was at its peak, Zhao Longhao also had many representative roles.
In "Guanzhong Bandits", he is the brutal but humane bandit Luo Yuzhang;
In "Blue Fox", he is the gentle music teacher Xia Tian;
In " Double Gun Li Xiangyang ", he is the hateful and cunning Matsui;
In "The Big Shopkeeper", he is Shen Zhonghe, who is clever but is mistaken for his cleverness;
In "Yunfei Silk Road", he is Bai Shaoren, the Zhangjiakou bully;
In "Spring Blossoms", he is the simple and warm good man He Zhengdong;
In " Glorious Land ", he is the funny and cute stuttering bandit Feng Chuanwu;
In " Twelve Citizens ", He is the fourth juror of the real estate business;
In " Authentic Heroes ", he is the honest, stingy and infatuated farmer Li Kunzhong;
In " Red Guard ", he is the evil villain Zhou Yueting; in
" The Rise of the Qin Empire ", he is the brave and resourceful Wei Ran;
In " In the Name of the People ", he is the disliked prosecutor Xiao Gangyu;
In the recently popular " Faith ", he is Ma Wu who "would rather kill by mistake than let go"...
It is a pity that Zhao Longhao failed to grasp his highlight moment, and gradually disappeared from everyone.
Especially in the past five years, has continued to decline.
Zhao Longhao, born in Harbin, Heilongjiang Province, is the third eldest child in his family, with an older brother and older sister.
As the youngest son in the family, Zhao Longhao was doted on, which resulted in his naughty and mischievous temperament.
fights, skips school, makes mischief, and does whatever is fun, but refuses to study.
The result is naturally that there is no university to study.
Fortunately, Zhao Longhao was able to find his way back.
When he was re-study in the second year, he learned from the experience, his temperament took a 360-degree turn, and he worked hard on his studies.
As the saying goes, a prodigal son never changes his fortune, Zhao Longhao really "changed his life".
In 1993, Zhao Longhao received two admission notices.
One is from the Performance Department of the Central Academy of Drama, and the other is from the History Department of Heilongjiang University .
Zhao Longhao, who wanted freedom of individuality, resolutely chose the former.
He entered the Central Academy of Drama 3 acting class.
Zhao Longhao’s classmates are Xin Baiqing , Wang Qianyuan , Zhu Yuanyuan , Liu Mintao , Li Naiwen , etc.
When he came to the unfamiliar urban area of Beijing, Zhao Longhao's "domestic" personality was subdued by the gap between "there are people outside the world, and there is a sky outside the world".
During the peak period of filming, Zhao Longhao became famous as the "villain professional ".
Because of his slightly sinister appearance and thick figure, almost all of the characters looking for him are of the "grabbing women when he sees them, kicking men when he sees them" type.
can be fierce and tough, cunning and rogue, or domineering.
Zhao Longhao has also been labeled a "bad guy", and his role has even affected the actor personally.
But surprisingly, Zhao Longhao is extremely honest.
In life, he is often the who is "bullied" by .
The 93th class of the Chinese drama class is famous for their good relationship. They often fight and play tricks on each other.
Good brother Xin Baiqing and his gang played many harmful tricks to "tease" him.
Once, there was a piece of white paper posted at the door of the dormitory, which read:
"Zhao Chunyang and dogs are not allowed in."
But Zhao Longhao was not angry, but he remained stupid and didn't take it seriously.
The brothers also teased him and gave him the nickname "Big Chin" .
Zhao Longhao, who looks rough and savage on the outside, is actually very good-tempered and honest.
And this also paved the way for Zhao Longhao's ups and downs in the entertainment industry. After
graduated, he started playing a small role step by step.
This is completely normal. His appearance is really hard to come by.
In terms of appearance, was "crushed" by Li Naiwen and .
He Bing has also been certified:
"Chunyang, like me, is not good-looking, so there is no chance."
Under the severe conditions of worrying about his appearance, Zhao Longhao also "resisted" and became shameless.
is in a situation where he just takes the role and has no choice. He has been playing soy sauce for 7 years.
In 2003, Zhao Longhao was called and waited for a "Luo Manman" - Luo Yuzhang, the leader of the security group.
is extremely vicious, lustful and shameless, but also humane, both good and evil, and the character has plenty of room for development.
Zhao Longhao also grasped the charm and brilliance of "Luo Manman" very well, and made the character flesh and blood with his smooth acting skills.
It was a matter of course that he became a hit thanks to his "Luo Man Man".
At that time, Zhao Longhao had quite the style of "seeing all the flowers in Chang'an in one day" and "turning over as a serf and singing" .
Suddenly, many scripts came pouring in.
This is treatment he has never had before.
However, Zhao Longhao's "honesty" harmed him.
says it's honest, but in fact it's because lacks a "pattern", can't adapt, and looks stupid.
However, capital in the entertainment industry has begun to introduce various forces, and there is a mixed bag of good and bad. Especially in Beijing, the water is very deep.
While his peers were eager to seize the opportunity, Zhao Longhao went in the opposite direction.
He gave up signing a contract with Beijing Film and Television Company, which had great potential but was also riddled with obstacles.
"Many brokerage companies in Beijing are too complicated, and it is impossible not to be afraid."
Zhao Longhao rejected the blue ocean in Beijing, but instead signed a contract with a film and television company in Xi'an.
Stability is stability, safety is safety, but the production level, economic strength, development potential, and opportunities are all very different from those in Beijing.
Therefore, the popularity that Zhao Longhao accumulated was gradually exhausted in various shoddy dramas.
Especially at that time, the company was committed to creating a development path for it as a "villain professional".The success of
is a success, but the path of has become narrower and narrower than . Until now, Zhao Longhao is still stuck in the "villain" rut.
But by the time he turned back and switched to the Beijing market, the cake had already been divided.
directly led to difficulties in later transformation.
Later, almost many of Zhao Longhao's work that he could produce were based on , which was introduced by friends to .
The character in the movie "Twelve Citizens" was recommended to the director by He Bing because of his sympathy for Zhao Longhao.
This is probably the good popularity Zhao Longhao has accumulated due to his "honesty".
It’s just that a clever woman can’t make a meal without rice, and relying on old friends to recommend characters can only be a drop in the bucket.
Zhao Longhao also felt powerless in the new environment:
"If you don't show up much, you won't be famous, and if you don't have publicity, you won't have good roles."
Therefore, there was "no lower limit" for him to take roles, and he was forced to step up step by step.
As long as you can show your face in any script, no matter what the role is, big or small, good or bad, anyone who comes is welcome.
Anti-Japanese dramas, low-cost online dramas, bad dramas, soap operas...
is even a bit "hungry".
People can't help but feel sad. It is too difficult to be a good actor, and it is even harder to be a good actor who wants to become famous.
In fact, he became famous as long as he "acted" off the stage, but Zhao Longhao was unwilling to bow his head:
"Performance is a matter on the stage. Can we not perform the parts other than the stage?"
However, blindly accepting bad dramas and bad roles is probably a waste for actors.
This seems to have forced Zhao Longhao into a dilemma.
Maybe he can rest endlessly just waiting for a good role, a good script, and a good team, but reality does not allow it.
The whole family is still waiting for dinner. In order for
to take off, it must first fill its stomach.
