Mango TV " The Brother Who Overcomes the Thorns " is currently on the air, and a group of refreshing "old brothers" are very fans - this situation is completely different from "Brother Chasing the Light" broadcast in the last stage.
"Brother Chasing the Light" was obviously born on "Handling the Wind and Waves ", but it has been repeatedly ridiculed by the group for the various greasy performances of the "Brothers".
But in fact, in this show, in addition to the male artists who successfully "come out of the circle" such as Chen Zhipeng, Du Chun, , there is also a former "refreshing male god". He should also appear with a popular mentality, but once again he was silent. He is Chen Xiaodong, .
Even if you don’t know who Chen Xiaodong is, you must have heard the song " happier than me ".
Thinking back then, he became famous with his refreshing appearance and solid singing skills. Some people even bluntly said that "he is the successor of the four kings", "the beautiful young man in the oxygen king"...
However, after starring in the TV series "A Chinese Ghost Story" with major S, Chen Xiaodong's career and resources seemed to have begun to plummet.
Although he later appeared in some works and continued to "struggle" in the music industry, he never returned to his original height and even gradually became a "marginal person" in the entertainment industry.
In 2014, Chen Xiaodong, who was already in a difficult position to return to the top, married his amateur girlfriend, Wang Yuxian, and was later promoted to "super dad", living a dull and happy life.
But when I recalled the "thrilling" of that year, the story about Chen Xiaodong and his "fall" seems to be a mystery.
And what kind of existence is Wang Yuxian that can capture Chen Xiaodong's heart?
Because of "ex-girlfriend" Cecilia Cheung ?
Ceige admitted that his relationship with Chen Xiaodong was in 2000. At that time, he had just won the 1st Asian Chinese Golden Melody Awards for his new album "Happier than Me". In the same year, he was also named the Shanghai People's Radio Station Most Popular Male Singer.
And what about Cecilia Cheung?
Her career is also at its peak. She just became famous for the two movies " King of Comedy " and "Star Wish", and also won the Academy Awards Best Newcomer Award.
The two met in the 1999 collaboration song "Leave to Favorite Speak", which was later released on Cecilia Cheung's 2001 album "Any Weather".
Their relationship was exposed, and we should also thank Nicholas Tse and Faye Wong on the other side. Because Xie and Wang kissed each other in a high-profile and passionate kiss directly caused Cecilia Cheung to appear in front of the media with Chen Xiaodong's hand.
Before this, the entanglement between Cecilia Cheung and Nicholas Tse was still unclear, and after that, Chen Xiaodong also became her passerby.
However, this high-profile relationship lasted for about a year before news of the breakup came out.
Then, Chen Xiaodong talked about this relationship on the show " Kangxi is Coming ".
When asked whether it was because of Nicholas Tse, he said directly: "She seems to be not only with him, but there seem to be several..."
One sentence caused a thousand sensations. The "ex-girlfriend in the knife" incident made Chen Xiaodong's low emotional intelligence show in all aspects, and also welcomed the anger of Cecilia Cheung's agent Chen Lan .
Chen Lan is the wife of Hong Kong film producer and producer Xiang Huaqiang . She is known as " Xiang Tai ". She is a person who can call the wind and rain in the Hong Kong entertainment industry.
After her Chen Xiaodong's program was broadcast, a press conference was held immediately to count the other party's "seven deadly sins": using love, borrowing a lucidum to cross the bridge, talking nonsense, having no character or doing, taking action first and then reporting, deceiving feelings and harming people.
is these "seven deadly sins", which has caused Chen Xiaodong, who has always shown himself as a sunny and cheerful image to plummet, and he instantly became a "scumbag" that thousands of people refer to.
, and this incident also caused most of Chen Xiaodong's advertising endorsements to be lost, the signed movie characters were replaced, and they were even collectively "banned" by Hong Kong media.
plus the previous grudges and grudges with his mentor Dai Sicong , which led to Chen Xiaodong's resources being much worse than before, and there was no possibility of starting again.
. Regarding the ending of her relationship with Chen Xiaodong, Cecilia Cheung once responded in 2005: "We separated because of excessive media attention and too much pressure. If we hadn't separated at the beginning, we might still be together." He also said bluntly that he had lost a very good man.
But she did not respond too much to Xiang Tai's allegations against Chen Xiaodong back then.
In response to this, Chen Xiaodong said: "At that time, except for Cecilia Cheung, no one had ever had a relationship with other girls." In other words, "not dedicated to using love" is nonsense.
However, these sounds seemed useless to the public at that time, because Chen Xiaodong had indeed "fallen" quickly.
The birth of "40-point genius little king"
In fact, looking back at Chen Xiaodong's path to becoming famous, he is also considered a "son of choice".
His real name is Chen Zhuoyang . He was born in Hong Kong in 1975 and has a good family background. When he was in the fourth grade of elementary school, he was transferred to an American International School for education by his mother and his grades were once very good.
18 years old, Chen Xiaodong developed a strong interest in music, so he gave up his degree from an American university and began to enter the music industry.
1995, by chance, 20-year-old Chen Xiaodong met the musician Dai Sicong, and became his teacher, and signed a nine-year agency contract.
As a famous music educator, Dai Sicong is known as the "godfather of music" and the "father of superstars": Faye Wong, Leonard , Alan Tam, Andy Lau , Anita Mui , etc. are all his students.
Dai Sicong likes Chen Xiaodong very much, and even said bluntly, "Farewell Wong is a genius with 45 points, and Chen Xiaodong is a genius with 40 points." He also said that he has the appearance of a king.
As expected, after Chen Xiaodong signed a contract with Dai Sicong, he quickly sang the song "Open the Sky" with singers such as Kelly Chen and , and entered the music scene. This work also won the gold medal for the Most Popular Chorus Songs at the Top Ten Golden Songs Award Ceremony .
Chen Xiaodong also won the gold medal of the new male singer in the New City Blast Awards Ceremony, and the gold medal of the selected 104 Golden Mood Song Award Ceremony.
In the same year, he also participated in the filming of the movie "Hudumen" and officially entered the film and television industry.
Years, Chen Xiaodong continued to work hard and released songs such as "Know Everything You Are", "Exciting Version", and "U R My Only Love".
Then, he and Nicholas Tse, Feng Delun and Gu Juji were called the "Four Little Kings", and Chen Xiaodong himself is also expected to become the best successor of the "Four Great Kings", and he was in the limelight for a while.
It is said that when he was the most popular, Hong Kong media also conducted a survey and listed a "most popular singer in 20 years": Jacky Cheung , Alan Tam, Teresa Teng and other heavyweight singers were among them, and Chen Xiaodong as a newcomer is also among them, which shows how popular he is.
In 1998, Chen Xiaodong released the more classic work "The Heart has a Special Side", but in the same year, his "grudge" between him and Dai Sicong also caused a lot of controversy.There is a rumor about
. He proposed to terminate the contract with Dai Sicong because he was dissatisfied with the contract and commission, and was asked to terminate the contract by 10 million Hong Kong dollars as a termination fee.
However, this statement was denied by Dai Sicong, and he also called him a "reverse boy" and held a press conference to announce that he had severed his master-apprentice relationship with him.
In the end, this incident ended with Chen Xiaodong paying 7 million termination fee - and his vitality image was seriously damaged because of this incident.
He then released songs such as "I know better than anyone else", "A Man Like the Wind", and "Happier than Me", and his career has created a second spring.
But unfortunately, just as the second spring of this career just arrived, his relationship with Cecilia Cheung not only lost the Hong Kong market, but also saw a sharp decline in popularity.
career is difficult to "rejuvenate". I chose to get married in a low-key manner
Then, taking advantage of the east wind of "Happier than Me", Chen Xiaodong appeared on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala that year, and at the same time shifted his career focus to mainland development.
In 2002, he and Qin Hailu starred in the love movie "Hopeless love " and then showed up in the movie "Homesickness " starring Liu Xuan , but the response was mediocre.
Then, he returned to Hong Kong again "silently" and starred in the TV series "Dictionary of Men and Women" and the movie "Hand 100% Feeling 2", but his grades were ineffective.
By 2004, he received an invitation from Taiwanese film and television tycoon Yang Dengkui and collaborated with Big S on a TV series version of "A Chinese Ghost Story".
With the help of Wu Jing and Nie Yuan , Chen Xiaodong finally had a representative work in TV series, but no one expected that this TV series would actually be his peak work.
After that, he starred in adaptive works such as "A Thousand Autumn", "House of the Sea of Oath ", "House of Love 36 Scheme ", and all of them could not escape the "fuzzy" ending.
In 2007, Chen Xiaodong decided to return to the Hong Kong music scene, and the following year he brought out his new Cantonese songs, a selected "love moments" and a Mandarin album "Sleeping Walking in the Sky".
But it was revealed that "false people, charity shows" and other "black spots" were revealed - whether his character is really not good, or whether the Hong Kong circle can no longer tolerate him, no one knows the answer now.
For a long time after that, Chen Xiaodong could not receive good resources and his status continued to decline.
In 2010, Dai Sicong passed away. He returned to Hong Kong to attend the funeral, personally to help the spirit , kneel down - all the previous grievances were left unresolved.
Later, he was invited by Yang Dengkui to play the role of Emperor Wu of Northern Zhou Yuwen Yong in the popular drama "Lanling King". Because his character is more outstanding than the male lead played by Feng Shaofeng and , his career also tends to recover.
But unfortunately, Yang Dengkui died of illness at the end of 2012 - since then, Chen Xiaodong's other mentor has disappeared again.
Maybe it was helpless, maybe it was because he had no intention of fantasizing about becoming popular again - he entered the marriage in 2014 and married an amateur nurse Wang Yuxian.
Wang Yuxian is 14 years younger than Chen Xiaodong. She graduated from the nursing department. She has participated in model selection competitions, filmed advertisements and MVs, and finally gave up Xingmeng and went back to work as a nurse.
It is said that she and Chen Xiaodong met in a clinic. At that time, Chen Xiaodong was filming the TV series " Love Emergency Full Room ". The two fell in love at first sight and fell in love soon.
Then, Wang Yuxian was poached by the media and participated in the variety show "If you are so brave, come," in which she said, "Add mature, steady, and good-tempered men." - And Chen Xiaodong seems to be the "good match".
The two held a warm and romantic wedding in Hong Kong in February 2014, and then their two daughters were born one after another.
It is said that in order to "reward" his wife's efforts, Chen Xiaodong revealed that he had purchased a luxury house worth over 100 million yuan ( NT$ ) in Taiwan, and also said that he had prepared a bank card with no limit on his wife for use.
Speaking of his wife Wang Yuxian, Chen Xiaodong said bluntly: The wife is better than herself. She has resisted it and knows how to get along with others better than herself. She influences herself more positively and makes him better.
He also took the initiative to reveal that before the two got married, when the father-in-law learned that he was going to marry his daughter, he meditated in the bathroom for a week because he "was so reluctant."
In 2019, Chen Xiaodong returned to Hong Kong to hold a concert, and Cecilia Cheung took the stage to sing with her - those entangled pasts seem to have long forgotten.
Today's Chen Xiaodong still looks like he used to be, just a "wind-like man".
However, he is already 46 years old and has obviously reconciled all his grievances in the past, and will be indifferent to whether he can "make a hit". After all, the current days are the most real.
