Su Youpeng recently made a comeback and participated in Mango TV 's popular variety show "Brother Who Overcomes Troubles".
He is about to be 49 years old, wearing a white suit and heroic appearance, and is more elegant than the 16-year-old Guaihu.
I have not actually experienced the hottest era of Little Tigers , but Su Youpeng was too charming on the stage of "Brother Who Overcomes Thorns", so he went for an archaeology.
I don’t know if I don’t read it, but I was shocked when I saw it: Looking back at 25 years, Su Youpeng is simply a perfect idol!
before Su Youpeng posted a picture.
"Let's take a look at the Little Tigers' 10,000 signature meeting. Have you participated in it? Can you leave your footprints below?"
That day was April 8th thirty-three years ago.
Su Youpeng is 16 years old, Wu Qilong is 219 years old, and Chen Zhipeng is 218 years old.
The three of them drove a convertible and rushed towards the signing site, looking immature.
Thirty-three years of time flew, and everything in the past was a cloud.
Although Su Youpeng is now known as an actor and director, he debuted as an idol at that time.
The "Little Tiger Team" formed by him, Wu Qilong and Chen Zhipeng was the most popular combination in the early 1990s and was a well-deserved "top star".
three handsome boys correspond to "good tiger", " little handsome tiger ", and "thunder tiger".
Now some of them have become fathers, some have completed their transformation, and some are still working hard.
The song of "Little Tigers" has been floating for thirty-three years, and it was once the music of youth for many people.
01
Taipei, early summer in 1988, it was already hot.
Wu Qilong, 18 years old, sets up a stall on the street and sells girl's clothing accessories.
Because he is handsome, his business has always been very good.
At that time, he was doing well in the school and just won the championship of Taekwondo and became a star in the school.
He didn't know that he had been targeted by star scout long ago.
And in another place in Taipei, 15-year-old Su Youpeng is still studying hard.
Because I was born in the Mid-Autumn Festival with my mother, I had "two moons" at home, so I was named " Youpeng ".
He is a typical academic master.
At that time, his myopia had reached 1000 degrees and he was only thinking about getting into the best high school in Taipei.
Chen Zhipeng is 16 years old and is the most free and comfortable. His family runs a chain of beauty salons and lives a wealthy life.
Many people think that he is a "hara" child like Leslie Cheung .
Chen Zhipeng is not interested in learning, but is very interested in dance. His favorite is ballet and jazz.
Under the influence of the beauty salon, his dressing is much better than his peers. He even holds a "drag dress" performance at home and asks his elder brother to take "art photos" for him.
Three people who have never met each other in the summer of 1988 met because of a program.
In July of that year, Taiwan Kaili Company launched "Youth Confrontation", a variety show for young people.
Among the more than 3,000 people, 3 young people were selected to become the "Little Tigers".
At the beginning, they were only responsible for running errands, posting props, and occasionally showing up.
However, these three young and handsome boys are so popular.
Every song they recorded quickly became popular, and "Youth Confrontation" also became the number one in ratings because of them.
Companies that smell business opportunities immediately change their strategies and package the "Little Tigers".
In the second year, a single " Green Apple Paradise " quickly became popular in Asia.
At that time, the "Little Tigers" were once more popular than Michael Jackson .
From May 1989 to September 1990, in just over a year, the "Little Tigers" released a total of four records, and the sales of each record reached a new peak.
3 children are still young. In order to prevent them from inflated, the company hid the letters sent by fans. The three of them didn't know how popular they were.
Until 33 years ago, on April 8, they went to the signing party.
More than 20,000 people participated, and the scene was once out of control.
Countless fans are shouting wildly, and the crowd cannot see the end at first sight.
At this moment, they finally realized that they were really popular.
02
"Green Apple Paradise", "Love", "Butterflies Fly", "Find a Home for Dreams"... Their songs are popular one after another.
Countless girls posted posters of "Little Tigers" in their room, and the voices of "Little Tigers" are everywhere in Taiwan.
Three young people enjoy their glory in the best time.
But the good times didn't last long.
After the release of its sixth record in 1991, Chen Zhipeng was summoned to the army and the "Little Tigers" were forced to disband.
The three of them have already had a deep friendship together.
Wu Qilong and Chen Zhipeng are about the same age, and they can get along well.
When saying goodbye, Wu Qilong wrote a lyric for Chen Zhipeng "I wish you a good journey". The concert held by the Huanya Hotel was originally only 2,000 people, but tens of thousands of audiences gathered at the scene, all crying for the Little Tigers' farewell performance.
Su Youpeng's voice was crying:
"I don't know when I can accompany you to dance to the Green Apple Paradise again."
Wu Qilong held him in his arms, and tears flowed down.
After Chen Zhipeng returned from serving in 1993, the "Little Tigers" were reorganized.
However, this circle is not so gentle. With batches of new idols, the "Little Tigers" seem to have run out of luck.
Their new album is not very popular and is not very popular.
Because the situation was not good, the team's activities stopped two years later, and "Tiger Roaring and Dragon Teng" also became the last stage for the three of them.
03
If life is ups and downs, Chen Zhipeng seemed to have reached the peak of his life when he was in the Little Tigers, and has been landing since then.
has made no progress in performance, and he also wants to learn the business method of "Pilihu".
but none of them succeeded.
In recent years, as a fashion icon, Chen Zhipeng has returned to the public's attention.
Wearing weird clothes and heavy makeup hairstyle makes it difficult to associate him with his former "little handsome tiger".
"Little handsome tiger" is still struggling to support, while "good tiger" and "pili tiger" have long crawled out of the trough.
Wu Qilong became popular again in 2011 for " Step by Step 1 ".
, he even became the boss of a company, investing in film and television, and doing catering, and has made a lot of money over the years.
Wu Qilong married Liu Shishi in 2016. Soon he was promoted to the first father of the three. It can be said that his career and family have developed greatly.
But Wu Qilong, who was so successful, still "defeated" to Su Youpeng as an idol.
04
In 1997, the Little Tigers were disbanded.
Su Youpeng realized at that time that he could not be a "good tiger" for the rest of his life.
Su Youpeng instantly changed from a star to an ordinary person, looking for a job everywhere. At the worst, less than 20,000 yuan was left in his bank account.
Over the past four years, he has tried many times, including recording, hosting, and appearing on variety shows, but none of them succeeded.
Until " Return to the Condor Heroes " appeared, he finally found the way to change
Su Youpeng's filming of "Return to the Pearl" is not an easy thing.
He has never learned acting before, and he will be scolded by the director every time he films.
In order to make his performance better, he often sits in front of the screen and carefully observes the performance of other actors.
Su Youpeng is not very suitable for shooting in Beijing.
When he was a star, he had assistants around him, and now he had to do everything by himself.
Because he was not accustomed to the local environment, his face was covered with small bags.
Every day on his way home, he kept talking to himself: "Ah, what am I doing?"
Although the days when he first entered the set were difficult, Su Youpeng still survived
He said that the only way he could persevere was to write a diary every day, constantly cheer himself up, and start over.
"I tell myself, you are not an idol now, you are still far from it."
So Su Youpeng removed the image of "good tiger" and played a sincere and emotional
This time, his popularity has returned.
Su Youpeng said that what moved him the most was the press conference between Hong Kong and Ruby Lin .
"At that time, there were about 8,000 people."
"I have a feeling that what I have lost can be regained with my own efforts."
Su Youpeng became popular again, so he naturally cherished this opportunity very much. After
, he starred in several idol dramas, with a good reputation.
For example, Du Fei in "Love Deep Rain".
For example, Hua Wuque in " The Two Sexes ".
For example, Zhang Wuji in " The Legend of the Condor Heroes ".
Su Youpeng will definitely become the ceiling among idol drama actors.
However, this academic master is still very dissatisfied.
Because of the "Little Tigers" incident, he understood that it is impossible for a star to live forever by relying on his appearance alone.
So, he rejected more than a dozen idol dramas, hoping to become a capable actor.
During this period, he participated in the drama "The Fragrance of Chrysanthemums".
also made the main theme movie " Kangding Love Song ".
Among them, "The Sound of the Wind" is the most satisfying and fulfilling work that Su Youpeng has.
In "The Sound of the Wind", he plays Bai Xiaonian , the male favorite of the commander-in-chief of the puppet army.
speaks "no yin or yang" and can also sing Kunqu .
Therefore, Su Youpeng specially studied at the Beijing Kunqu Opera Troupe for a year.
"Orchid finger, hangs his voice, and is proficient in everything."
At that time, Su Youpeng sang a song "Shocking in the Garden" for director Chen Guofu , and the director was deeply shocked by this scene.
Su Youpeng won the best male second in because of the role of "Bai Xiaonian".
With the recognition of the industry, everyone believes that Su Youpeng is an actor with good acting skills.
However, Su Youpeng was affirmed but was not satisfied.
's recent transformation, he began to come behind the scenes and became a director.
05
Why do you want to be a director?
Su Youpeng said that at the beginning, the production company of " left ear " asked him to try it casually.
This experience gave him a different experience. He found that as a director, he could express himself in movies, so he had further ideas.
Su Youpeng is a very serious director.
He said that he is a Virgo and has a clean obsession. He must change it as long as it is an imperfect place.
Zhang Luyi "complained" and said that he was the strictest one and had been changing the show all day.
Every day after everyone gets off work, Su Youpeng is also studying some details in the crew.
As for the results, although "Left Ear" has a fair reputation, it is widely circulated.
However, I personally think that the second "HTM1 Suspect X's Dedication " is already very mature.
In addition, Su Youpeng also filmed a short film called " Wang Ma who lives on Happiness Street ".
This is a short film about square dance aunties, full of amateurs. Su Youpeng recorded the life of Beijing aunties in a documentary.
I think this short film is most similar to Su Youpeng's style.
Su Youpeng said that he wants to break the prejudice and give everyone a chance to speak.
"Actually, those aunts are not as weird as we imagined."
"What I want to shoot is an ordinary life. Only by understanding the reality of life can we bloom beautiful flowers in it."
Su Youpeng told a movie and a story of his own.
In Su Youpeng's career, he has been competing with the label of "idol".
33 years ago, he was a well-deserved top star.
So, when the halo disappears, his idol identity becomes a burden, a prejudice, making him breathless.
After a rehearsal, Su Youpeng took a taxi home at around 10 o'clock in the evening.
The person passing by saw him, walked up and said, "Are you not a good tiger? It's past ten o'clock, what are you doing outside?"
"You said, isn't it very depressing to grow up in such an environment?"
But fortunately, Su Youpeng did not admit defeat in the face of pressure and prejudice.
He gave up his former idol identity, gave up that label, and experienced life again, and found what he really wanted.
I really appreciate Su Youpeng's courage and self.
Su Youpeng is a perfect idol.
At the beginning, we all liked him because of his appearance, personality, and talent.
However, over time, you will find that those are irrelevant.
You will eventually be attracted by him and be happy for his love, which is infected by his continuous efforts.
You must also be like him and become a person who is constantly changing and moving forward.
and other things are all the beautiful elements about star chasing.
