used to be a popular student who was favored by countless people, but now he has become a marginal figure in the circle. ”
Just this year, Li Chen starred in a movie called "Wasteland".
Although the early publicity was not bad, the box office after the release was miserable, with only 7 million in income.
It stands to reason that Li Chen, a star as a "big name", how can he only bring such a little box office?
In fact, Li Chen is long gone.
Perhaps earlier, he filmed popular dramas such as "Beijing Youth", but with the scandal being picked up, and the director's "Sky Hunting" hit the streets, his reputation has long collapsed.
What is the reason behind this?What exactly has Li Chen experienced over the years?
In 1978, Li Chen was born.
He is the third generation of the red people, and according to the family's plan, he was also going to be a soldier, but who would have thought that he would be an actor.
In 1993, the film "Laining" went to the campus to recruit people, and Li Chen, who was still in the fifth grade at the time, was unexpectedly selected.
According to director Jin Ping, he is very handsome and charming.
At the age of 11, he earned 500 yuan for starring in "Laining" and showed his face in front of the national audience.
However, this did not stimulate his desire to become an actor, it just made him find acting interesting.
When he was in junior high school, he became naughty and fell in love with motorcycles and wanted to become a professional racing driver.
But none of the family agreed, so they thought about letting him change the direction of his life, and after thinking about it, Li Chen said that he wanted to be an actor.
So, he was admitted to the Stars Art School founded by Lu Liping and began his acting career.
As soon as he entered the school, he was selected to play the outstanding student "Jian Ning" in "Seventeen Years Old Don't Cry".
Thanks to this performance, he has more and more resources at his disposal.
In school, in addition to participating in "Southern Dream", he also participated in CCTV's "Chinese Cabbage Class".
At that time, everyone envied him for having a chance, but he didn't have a nostalgia for fame and turned around and started a business.
In the beginning, he specialized in Korean brand-name clothing, but due to the poor management of the mall, his store also closed down with the closure of the mall.
Later, a large bar opened, but it also ended up closing.
In three years, he spent all his savings, and finally gave up his obsession with business and decided to become an actor again, saving money in a low-key manner.
It's been another three years, and although he has filmed a lot, he is not famous.
His career has not improved, but his relationship has made progress.
He and Li Xiaolu fell in love because of the play, but this relationship did not last long, and it soon ended in a breakup.
In 2006, Li Chen starred in "Soldier Assault", and finally ushered in a real classic.
Later, he starred in many popular dramas, slowly became a first-line male star, and became a resident guest of "Running Man".
In 2012, Li Chen had a new lover - Zhang Xinyu.
However, when Zhang Xinyu posted the heart-shaped gift that Li Chen gave her, it immediately caused ridicule from all netizens, after all, the heart-shaped gem that Li Chen gave to Zhang Xinyu was not "the only one for his girlfriend".
At this point, Li Chen's simple image began to be greatly discounted.
And what is even more regrettable is that just when everyone thought they were going to get married, Li Chen publicly announced that he was with Fan Bingbing at this juncture, and he also personally reported that Zhang Xinyu had an "extramarital affair" as the reason for the breakup.
Suddenly, everyone sympathized with Li Chenlai and scolded Zhang Xinyu.
In the endless condemnation on the Internet, Zhang Xinyu almost suffered from depression.
However, according to a friend of Zhang Xinyu, Li Chen would often visit Zhang's family in the early days of breaking up with Zhang Xinyu, and he was also preparing to get married.
As a result, just when everyone was looking forward to the future of the two, Li Chen suddenly left in style.
This revelation made many people suspect that Fan Bingbing was a third party, and Li Chen was the scumbag who cheated.
But whether to say it or not, Li Chen and Fan Bingbing's love is still very sweet, but since participating in an issue of "Running Man", everyone has found that it doesn't seem to be like that.
In the show, because Fan Bingbing was his competitor, Li Chen's face instantly darkened, and he yelled directly: "Come here!."”
Fan Bingbing was startled, and tears were about to fall, which was enough to see that Li Chen was not a gentle man.
In addition, there is a story with Wang Baoqiang.
There was a game in the show, and both of them were the best in physical fitness, so they naturally ran ahead of the team.
As a result, during the run, Wang Baoqiang was pushed by Li Chen and fell into the lake on the spot.
And Li Chen not only didn't go to the rescue, but took a random look, then turned around and ran away.
* As soon as he came out, Li Chen was immediately scolded.
After that, some of Li Chen's "black history" back then was also dug up one after another.
The matter of "inserting the knife to teach" once caused a lot of uproar.
Initially, it was Bian Xiaoxiao's assistant who accused Yin Xiaotian, saying that he beat Bian Xiaoxiao at the filming site.
After the incident, netizens stood on Bian Xiaoxiao's side.
Subsequently, Bao Jianfeng and others, led by Li Chen, formed the "Knife Sect" and launched a crusade against Yin Xiaotian.
Facts have proved that Yin Xiaotian didn't do anything excessive at all, Li Chen and the others completely wronged him, and finally had to pay for their sloppiness.
It is undeniable that Li Chen's reputation has almost collapsed.
Over the years, as long as Li Chen is mentioned, the first thing that comes to the public's mind is his performance in variety shows, not his acting skills.
Li Chen once abandoned his acting career because he was young and frivolous, and now he wants to start over, how easy is it to say?
Sometimes he would go to a bar, meet up with a group of "fox friends and dogs", party all night, and use alcohol to relieve the pain in his heart.
In fact, Li Chen is also trying to recover.
The movie "Sky Hunting" is a work created by him with great painstaking efforts, but the box office hit the street badly, and the bad reviews have never stopped, which has become another black spot for him.
At the premiere of "Changjin Lake", Li Chen was the last person to get the microphone, which shows how humble he is in the circle.
In the entertainment industry, it has always been so realistic, and without fame, no one wants to take a second look at you.
Li Chen had a good hand of cards and fell into such a field, in fact, a large part of the reason was due to himself.
If he regains his original intention as an actor, there may be a possibility of turning the tables, if not, he may have to remain silent.
