When it comes to recent years, the military actors who have been recognized by the audience are, of course, Wu Jing, whose self-directed and self-starred "Wolf Warrior" series has a box office of more than 6 billion.
Except for Wu Jing, I don't know if you still remember the name Hou Mengsha?The actress, who once played "Bright Sword" in the TV series, has now become an excellent actor and host. She has acted in military-themed films such as "Sniper Life and Death", "Spicy Female Soldier", "Special Forces Fire Phoenix" and other military-themed films, so she is known as "the most American military flower".
You must know that the former Hou Mengsha, a man and a woman with Wu Jing, jointly supported the pillars of China's military film and television in the past ten years!
However, Wu Jing is still active on the screen today, but Hou Mengsha rarely hears news anymore, what is going on?
From a literary girl to a film and television military flower.
In the film and television industry, where academic qualifications are widely questioned, Hou Mengsha's academic qualifications are undoubtedly very eye-catching.
In 2008, Hou Mengsha, who was only 23 years old, successfully obtained a master's degree from Nanjing University majoring in drama, film and television
After graduating, Hou Mengsha was quickly selected into the art troupe by the Political Department of the Nanjing Military Region because of her outstanding talent.
With such an experience, Hou Mengsha starred in a military drama, which is simply too normal.
To be precise, Hou Mengsha participated in her first military-themed TV series "Sniper Life and Death" in 2009.
Although in this work, Hou Mengsha plays the doctor "Lin Donger" who is more worthy of people's sympathy, in fact, it has nothing to do with the military flower, but there is really nothing to say in terms of acting skills.
It should be noted that Liu Meng, the director of this TV series, is really fierce enough.
Liu Meng, as a budding director, when communicating with the fledgling Hou Mengsha, clearly told her from the beginning that the script is for you, and you can choose the role according to your preferences, rather than being too constrained!
When Hou Mengsha asked Liu Meng if he could create his role independently, Liu Meng responded very generously, "If you have any ideas, you can realize them." As long as the final result can be recognized by everyone, you can show your talent without reservation!
Thanks to Liu Meng's strong support and assistance, Hou Mengsha was able to unleash her potential when she participated in a large-scale theatrical performance for the first time, and she went deep into the script to present the audience with the image of a doctor who insisted on treating the wounded despite her suffering.
It is precisely because of the role of "Lin Donger" that Hou Mengsha was able to successfully enter the entertainment industry.
Time passed to 2011, and after two years of tempering, Hou Mengsha finally obtained the qualification to play the military flower in film and television works. In the work "I Am a Special Soldier", the staff officer "Xia Lan" starring Hou Mengsha was once again warmly praised by the audience.
This TV series has emerged in recent years and has become the leader of the three major military-themed idol dramas!
Later, Hou Mengsha began her acting career and was known as a military flower in many military-themed TV series.
Of course, in the current environment, Hou Mengsha's works are not always loved by the audience, such as the "Ace Force", which was complained about a lot of as soon as it was broadcast, which did make many viewers feel very uncomfortable.
However, in the face of these unfavorable news, Wu Jing, Hou Mengsha's long-time partner, expressed a deep understanding of this.
Wu Jing once commented on Hou Mengsha: She is a very persevering young woman, and in the process of acting, even if her body is greatly injured, she will not shout loudly. In the current entertainment industry, such dedicated female stars are really rare.
However, it is really difficult to gain a foothold in the entertainment industry!
So, how was the military flower Hou Mengsha cultivated?
Hou Mengsha's growth path.
mentioned that Hou Mengsha became famous for starring in military dramas, and her friends felt a little caught off guard, because in their minds, Hou Mengsha, a young woman from Dalian, is likely to be a girl with a literary temperament.
Hou Mengsha has had a strong interest in literature and art since she was a child, and during the college entrance examination, she chose the drama major of the School of Arts and Humanities of Nanjing University as her major direction.
Although Nanjing University's drama program cannot be compared with Beijing Film and Shangju, as a major university in China, students at the university still have plenty of opportunities to participate in film and television productions during their Xi.
In fact, not only Nanjing University, but also students from film and television universities like Beiying, they usually spend 12 months a year and eight months on the stage during their time in college, and rarely spend time in school.
After all, performing a drama is undoubtedly a highly practical activity.
However, Hou Mengsha is different. During her college career, although many crews invited her to participate in film and television projects, she chose to give up that college time and devote herself to Xi, and successfully obtained a master's degree.
Hou Mengsha can endure loneliness and continue to improve her ability, which is why she was highly praised by director Liu Meng as soon as she debuted.
In fact, Liu Meng gave Hou Mengsha, who was just starting to emerge, so much decision-making power, partly because Liu Mengsha was already aware of her existence when Liu Mengsha was in college.
However, the subsequent facts did confirm that Liu Meng's point of view was right. Hou Mengsha did not disappoint her, but what is confusing is that in the past few years, Hou Mengsha, known as the "flower of the American army", has gradually disappeared from the stage, what is going on?
Hou Mengsha, who gradually withdrew from the audience's field of vision.
I have to say that Hou Mengsha has performed quite well in both theory and practice, and is indeed a helpless actor.
After officially entering the showbiz in 2011, many audiences have high expectations for Hou Mengsha, and they believe that Hou Mengsha will start a film and television legend of her own.
Unexpectedly, since 2017, Hou Mengsha, an actor known as the "most beautiful American military flower", seems to have been left out in the cold, not only did she fail to take too many roles, but even her role gradually changed from the protagonist to a supporting role or a role.
For example, in "Ace Troops" mentioned in the previous review, this actor, who has both good looks and strength, has been reduced to the role of providing a supporting role for traffic stars like Xiao Zhan.
In this regard, many fans who have liked Hou Mengsha have to sigh:
China's film and television industry is really ruined by this group of capital flows, good actors can only play supporting roles, they can't get ahead, and they have no acting skills, but they can occupy a lot of resources. ”
So, what is Hou Mengsha, who is not going well in her career, doing?Are you trying to find resources and try to get back to the top?
The answer may be more than you think.
Some time ago, someone interviewed Hou Mengsha and asked Hou Mengsha if she was dissatisfied with the current low point of her career.
Hou Mengsha's reply was that she didn't mind at the moment, and if there was a suitable repertoire, she would go to the show, and if not, then stay at home.
Why can Hou Mengsha behave so calmly?Since she has entered the palace of marriage!
That's right, in fact, at the beginning of 2021, she and her colleague Mao Yi have entered the palace of marriage in a low-key manner.
Hou Mengsha has always been committed to being a virtuous wife and mother after marriage, and has wholeheartedly supported her husband's career.
Although Mao Yi's fame is not particularly high until now, his future should be very bright.
Because, judging from the current situation, Mao Yi's acting skills are still **, at least much better than those traffic stars, and what he lacks is actually just resources and opportunities.
Although many people regret such a talented actor as Hou Mengsha, she should not retire from show business prematurely.
However, as a viewer, we should have respect and understanding for what Hou Mengsha has done.
After all, everyone should have the right to choose their own lifestyle, and these actors cannot be forced to make their careers their top priority, let alone force them to tear their families apart because of their so-called careers.
It is rumored that since last year, Hou Mengsha's spouse Mao Yi has gradually become more low-key.
According to rumors, the couple, who are not too young, are considering having a child.
Here, we send our best wishes to them in advance, hoping that they will become parents as soon as possible, and at the same time, we also hope that their children can grow up healthy and live a carefree life.
Epilogue. At this point, Hou Mengsha's experience in the film and television industry can be said to have come to an end.
However, in the not-too-distant future, it is possible that we will once again experience the unique charm of this flower, which is known as the "most beautiful military flower" on the TV screen.
