Xiaoyujun was watching the news a few days ago and came across a few recent photoshoots of Xu Shaoyang. I didn’t recognize them at once. Maybe it was because of the retouching. Not only did his facial features become more three-dimensional and refined, but he also had more people. A bit charming, completely different from Ji Qingchuan in " lavender " many years ago. Looking at the ups and downs of Xu Shaoyang's acting career over the years, we find that the time when his appearance and popularity were at their best was during the period of " Dolphin Bay Lovers ". Even though his temperament at that time was different from that of many young actors today, the gentle male lead he performed at that time was still in line with the taste of most audiences at that time.
Compared with the "veteran cadre" Huo Jianhua whose appearance has not changed at all now, Xu Shaoyang's change seems to be a bit big. Looking back at his debut experience, it is not difficult to find that his acting career did not develop smoothly. Ultimately, it is related to his various endless scandals.
Xu Shaoyang was born in Hong Kong in 1976. When he was 10 years old, he moved to New York with his parents. In this bizarre world cultural fusion capital, 15-year-old Xu Shaoyang fell madly in love with music. He dreamed of becoming a singer.
After graduating from university, Xu Shaoyang resolutely returned to his birthplace, Hong Kong, to seek new development. But it is said that Hong Kong was experiencing a financial crisis at that time, and entertainment companies were unwilling to sign new actors. Xu Shaoyang could only start as an extra, earning 400 Hong Kong dollars a time. Sometimes there were only a few scenes a month, and he could not make ends meet. This life as hard as winter lasted for three years. During the past three years, his girlfriend Jenny has been by Xu Shaoyang's side. She silently encouraged and supported him, and used her salary to meet their expenses without complaint.
stayed up until the winter of 2001, when Xu Shaoyang and his girlfriend moved to Taiwan. Due to financial constraints, they could not even afford to fly, so they had to take a ferry. The ferry was bumping in the waves, the cold sea breeze seeped in from the door, and the two hugged each other to keep warm. At that moment, Xu Shaoyang solemnly told himself in his heart: This is the last stop of his dream, and he must make a desperate move. After arriving in Taipei, Xu Shaoyang and his girlfriend started sending demo tapes to record companies one after another, but nothing happened.
However, just when the two were about to despair, Xu Shaoyang's demo tape attracted the attention of Yao Fengqun, the head of the entertainment agency that created Du Dewei and Xu Huaiyu . After listening to Xu Shaoyang's audition tape, Yao Fengqun was immediately moved by the Western elements in Xu Shaoyang's music and the sense of vicissitudes in the sound quality. Yao Fengqun knew that in today's world of international music exchanges, musical talents with both Chinese and Western cultures like Xu Shaoyang are rare. In addition, Xu Shaoyang has outstanding appearance, so Yao Fengqun decided to sign a contract with Xu Shaoyang immediately.
Through Yao Fengqun's help, Xu Shaoyang officially signed a record contract with Rolling Stone Records. Xu Shaoyang's music dream finally began to sprout in the spring of 2002 after dormant for many years.
As we all know, the record industry is not doing well, and it is even more difficult for unknown newcomers to get ahead. Filming TV series and singing on TV series soundtracks was the best opportunity for singers to gain attention at that time, so in 2001, Xu Shaoyang was the first to participate in the show. He starred in his first TV series "Lavender", playing the role of Ji Qingchuan, and also sang on the original soundtrack. He gained high popularity and made his official debut.
later starred in the idol drama "Dolphin Bay Lovers" and released the album "It's Stupid".
Perhaps because of his popularity, not many people know about the final outcome of his relationship with his girlfriend who shared the same joys and sorrows. On the contrary, since his debut, Xu Shaoyang has been involved in an astonishing amount of scandals. Almost every drama he collaborates with will follow the drama. Chinese actress "in love". Even during the filming of "Dolphin Cove Lovers", there were photos of him and fellow actress Lin Weijun "kissing passionately in the car". Because the woman had a boyfriend at the time, Xu Shaoyang became the "third party" for a while. , causing its image to plummet.
After that, like all idol drama actors, he moved to the mainland and filmed some urban romance dramas and participated in some movies, but the results were not satisfactory.At this time, another "gang-related" incident occurred, which made it fall to the bottom.
In 2010, Xu Shaoyang was taken away by the police for investigation on suspicion of instigating gangsters to injure people with guns. In this incident, he was only answering the prosecutor's questions as a victim, but he was sent back without bail that day. However, it was heavily exaggerated and reported by the media the next day, which made him feel "unjust" for a while and had to hold a press conference later to explain.
Because the incident has received widespread attention, Xu Shaoyang also believes that the incident has cast a shadow on his own prospects. He admitted frankly that he was wronged: "I don't know if I can still be an artist in the future. Regarding media reports, although I think It’s unfair, but I know the media has a job , I don’t think I have the qualifications to offend the media. So I will keep everything in my heart and bear it silently.”
As Xu Shaoyang said himself, his acting career suffered a blow and he could only perform in some mainland TV series and movies. , and some of them are supporting roles. In 2014, he changed his name to Xu Shaoyang in an effort to change his name. However, he was disliked by netizens who suspected that he was using Angela Chang for hype. In the recent photos that were released recently, Xu Shaoyang has changed a lot, and netizens suspect that he has undergone "face-touching", which makes people say that he is almost unrecognizable!
