In recent years, Wu Jing, a popular military-themed actor among the audience, has directed and acted in the "Wolf Warrior" series, which has achieved a box office record of more than 6 billion.
Do you still remember another actor Hou Mengsha besides Wu Jing?She has starred in military-themed works such as "Sniper Life and Death", "Spicy Female Soldier", "Special Forces Fire Phoenix" and other military-themed works, so she is known as "the most beautiful military flower".
The former Hou Mengsha, a man and a woman Wu Jing, jointly supported the pillars of China's military film and television in the past ten years, which must be known!
However, Wu Jing still frequently appears on the screen today, but there is rarely news about Hou Mengsha, what is going on?
The transformation of a literary girl into a film and television military flower.
In the film and television industry, academic qualifications are generally questioned, but Hou Mengsha's academic qualifications are quite outstanding.
In 2008, Hou Mengsha, who was only 23 years old, successfully obtained a master's degree in drama, film and television from Nanjing University
Due to Hou Mengsha's outstanding ability, she was soon favored by the Political Department of the Nanjing Military Region after graduation and joined the Art Troupe.
Starring in military dramas is commonplace for Hou Mengsha, and it is not unusual. This kind of experience couldn't be more ordinary in her opinion.
In fact, in 2009, Hou Mengsha starred in the first military drama "Sniper Life and Death", which is indeed the case.
Although in this work, the doctor "Lin Donger" played by Hou Mengsha is more sympathetic than the role of the military flower, but she does perform well in acting skills and has nothing to do with the military flower.
In particular, it should be noted that the director Liu Meng is indeed very remarkable, and he is the driving force behind this TV series.
As a newly debuted director, when Liu Meng faced the fledgling Hou Mengsha, he told her from the beginning: "The script is for you, you can act according to your own ideas, don't have too many constraints!."”
Liu Meng expressed support for Hou Mengsha's independent creation request, and he said proudly: As long as the final effect can satisfy the audience, you can act how you want, although show your talent!
With Liu Meng's full support and help, Hou Mengsha challenged the drama for the first time, successfully released herself, and deeply understood the script, showing the audience the image of a doctor who has experienced hardships but always adheres to the mission of saving lives and helping the wounded.
Hou Mengsha's successful debut is mainly due to the role she plays "Lin Donger".
2011 arrived, and after two years of training, Hou Mengsha finally ushered in the opportunity to play the role of a soldier in film and television works. She played the role of staff officer "Xia Lan" in "I Am a Special Soldier", which was once again warmly praised.
This work has become one of the three most popular military idol dramas in recent years!
Subsequently, Hou Mengsha started her acting career and played the heroine in many military dramas.
Of course, in the whole environment, Hou Mengsha's work may not necessarily be liked by everyone. For example, the work "Ace Troops" was complained by the audience as soon as it was broadcast, which really made many people feel disgusting.
However, Wu Jing understands Hou Mengsha's old partner very well for these negative news.
Hou Mengsha was once praised by Wu Jing, who called her an extremely strong girl who would never show weakness even if she was hit when acting. In the current entertainment industry, such dedicated female stars have become rare.
It's really not easy to make a living in the entertainment industry!
So, how did Hou Mengsha become a beauty in the army?
When it comes to Hou Mengsha's popularity for starring in military dramas, her friends are a little surprised, because they have always thought that Hou Mengsha from Dalian should be a literary girl.
Hou Mengsha has had a strong interest in literature and art since she was a child, so she chose the drama major of the School of Arts and Humanities of Nanjing University during the college entrance examination.
Although Nanjing University's drama program cannot be compared with Beijing Film and Shanghai Opera, as one of China's leading universities, students here still have many opportunities to participate in film and television productions during their time at the university.
Nanjing University is not only that, but other film and television universities like Beijing Film and Television University, their students often spend 12 months a year in college, but eight months are spent on the stage, and they rarely stay in school.
After all, acting is an activity that requires a lot of practical ability.
During college, although many crews invited Hou Mengsha to star in film and television works, she chose to turn down these opportunities, and instead devoted most of her time to studying, and eventually pursued a master's degree. But Hou Mengsha is an exception in this regard.
It is precisely because of Hou Mengsha's patience to hone her ability that she was recognized by director Liu Meng when she first debuted.
The reason why Liu Meng gave the fledgling Hou Mengsha so much autonomy was actually an important reason that he had noticed Hou Mengsha when she was still in college.
Liu Meng's point of view was confirmed by the facts, and Hou Mengsha lived up to his expectations. However, what is confusing is that in recent years, Hou Mengsha, who is known as the most beautiful military flower, has gradually faded out of the stage, what is going on?
Hou Mengsha gradually faded out of the audience's field of vision.
It's a pity to mention this, Hou Mengsha has shown quite superb acting skills in both theory and practice.
After her official debut in 2011, many viewers also had high expectations for Hou Mengsha, believing that she would start a film and television legend of her own.
What is surprising is that since 2017, the most beautiful military Huahou Mengsha has met with a cold reception, not only has there been few drama appointments, but even the starring roles have gradually become supporting roles.
Take the previously criticized "Ace Troops" as an example, this actor not only has outstanding appearance, but also has very strong strength, but he has been demoted to a supporting role that can only be used as a supporting role for traffic stars such as Xiao Zhan.
Many fans who once liked Hou Mengsha had to sigh.
This group of capital flows has really made a mess in the Chinese film and television industry, and excellent actors can only play supporting roles and cannot stand out;And those little fresh meat who lack acting skills can monopolize a lot of resources.
So, Hou Mengsha's career is not going well, what is she doing?Are you trying to find resources and try to get back to the top?
The answer may be more than you think.
Hou Mengsha was recently interviewed and asked if she was unhappy with the current low point in her career.
Hou Mengsha replied, I don't care at the moment, as long as there is a suitable role, I will act, if not, I will stay at home.
Why is she so calm?Because she's married!
That's right, in fact, she married her colleague Mao Yi in a low-key manner as early as the beginning of 2021.
After Hou Mengsha got married, she has always worked hard to be a virtuous wife and a kind mother, and wholeheartedly supports her husband's career.
Although Mao Yi's popularity is still not too high, his future should be bright.
As far as the current situation is concerned, Mao Yi's acting skills are still **, at least much stronger than those traffic stars. In reality, all he lacked was resources and opportunities.
Although many people think that Hou Mengsha, such a powerful actor, quit the showbiz prematurely, it is a pity.
However, we, as viewers, should show respect and understanding for Hou Mengsha's actions.
Everyone should have the right to choose their own life, and actors cannot be forced to put their careers first, or even ask them to make their families fall apart for the sake of their so-called careers. After all, it's their personal right.
According to rumors, Mao Yi has also begun to keep a low profile since last year, which is quite surprising.
I heard that this young couple is planning to have a child.
At this moment, I wish them the joy of becoming parents as soon as possible, and I also wish their children healthy growth and happiness in advance.
Hou Mengsha's story in the film and television industry can be said to have come to an end.
Maybe it won't be long before we can enjoy the demeanor of this "most American military flower" on the screen again.
