Most of the stars in the entertainment industry come from poor families.
Usually, people choose to become stars in order to stand out by getting paid well.
But there are also some stars with superior families in the entertainment industry.
Some of them were born into prestigious families.
Some of their ancestors were specially granted privileges by the Empress Dowager Cixi.
As the rich often say, "Wealth should be hidden, but not exposed". The richer the person, the more humble he is.
Let's talk about these 6 stars today.
How glorious is the glory of this family for generations?
In 1960, Yingda was born in Beijing into a scholarly family and is a Manchu. His great-grandfather founded Ta Kung Pao and Fu Jen University back then, and dared to criticize the Beiyang ** at that time, showing extraordinary courage.
Yingda's great-grandfather, originally surnamed Hesheri, was given the surname Ying by the Empress Dowager Cixi for his outstanding patriotic performance.
Yingda's father was a famous Chinese translator and actor who studied at Cambridge University in the United Kingdom.
In his early years, he also served as the vice minister of culture and enjoyed a high status in the literary and artistic circles. He has starred in many well-known productions such as "Camel Xiangzi", "The Last Emperor" and most famously, the drama "Teahouse".
The young Ying Ruocheng is a drama actor, and on his busy days, he is either rehearsing plays or performing on stage. In order to prepare for the heavy tasks, he often practiced hard at home on stage performances. Influenced by her father, Yingda developed a strong interest in art from an early age.
Whenever his father Ying Ruocheng practiced drama at home, Yingda would always quietly follow behind his father and secretly imitate him. Later, Ying Ruocheng found that his son also liked acting, so every time he rehearsed the play, he would let Yingda participate in the performance and perform the drama with him.
For Yingdah, every time he performed a drama with his father was the happiest moment when he was a child, he felt that his father was omnipotent, a role model for him, and he always listened to his father.
His father often went out on theater tours, and the only people in the family were Yingda and his sister, who was a few years older than him. When the children of the neighborhood saw that there were no adults in Yingda's house, they would collectively ostracize him and often bully him together.
Sometimes, when the rhetoric is intense, the child may even hit Indah. Despite being beaten and scolded by others, Yingda did not shed tears every time. Therefore, the news that "Yingda won't cry when she is beaten" spread among the children, and some people even came to beat Yingda in order to verify the authenticity of the news.
He doesn't cry because he remembers what his father had said to him: "As a man, no matter what difficulties you encounter, you can't shed tears." Today they may look down on you, but tomorrow you will make them change their minds. ”
In order to "stand out", Yingda decided to follow in his father's footsteps and devote himself to a literary career. In 1984, he went to the University of Missouri to study drama.
Influenced by the American drama "Cosby Show", Yingda returned to China after graduation and decided to use what she had learned to create a Chinese comedy. In 1993, "I Love My Home" was successfully released, and this drama was hailed as "a milestone in Chinese TV comedy" because of its novel theme, and Yingda also established its position as the godfather of Chinese comedy.
Lin Feng's birthplace is Xiamen, Fujian Province in 1979, and his family background is in the real estate business. His father, Lin Huaguo, was known as "Xiamen's Li Ka-shing" and was a well-known local real estate tycoon.
His grandfather was Lin Mengfei, who graduated from the Whampoa Military Academy, and participated in the Northern Expedition when he was young, was an excellent commander in the army, and later served as the administrative inspector of the Fujian Provincial Bureau.
As the eldest son in the family, Lin Feng has always been expected to be the heir of the family, and his father has planned his life course since he was born.
In the childhood when other children were still enjoying happy times, Lin Feng was taught by various training teachers according to his father's arrangement.
He has been following his father's guidance until he was admitted to the Department of Architecture of Xiamen University, and it was also in accordance with the plan that his father made for him.
When Lin Feng entered college in early 1996, he didn't have a father to keep an eye on him, and he began to try out fields that he had never set foot in before. It wasn't until a campus performance that Lin Feng realized that "architecture" was not what he was pursuing, and then he had the idea of becoming an "actor".
In 1998, Lin Feng decided to go to Hong Kong TVB to receive systematic professional training. Disappointed that he had chosen to deviate from the path he had laid out for him, his father bluntly told his son, "If you want to be an actor, I won't give you any help." You have to start from scratch and figure it out on your own. If it doesn't work, come back honestly. ”
When Lin Feng first entered the entertainment industry, he didn't have his father to arrange scripts for him behind the scenes, and he was initially only arranged to be a show host and reporter.
Even if there is a script, it is just some tricky characters with no lines. Faced with the initial predicament, Lin Feng did not choose to give up, but chose to immerse himself in practicing his acting skills.
In 2001, Lin Feng starred in the costume drama "Looking for Qin", and his performance in the drama won unanimous recognition from the audience.
Immediately afterwards, he won the "Most Potential Newcomer Award" for his outstanding performance in "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty", and since then, Lin Feng's career has been booming. His efforts have finally been recognized by the public.
