When it comes to Yan Chengxu, the first thing that comes to people's minds should be the Daoming Temple in "Meteor Garden", right?The Daoming Temple he played in the play is handsome, confident, enthusiastic and cheerful, with clear child-like eyes, and the image of a childish and domineering big boy was once loved by the audience.
The ideal male god in the hearts of the sisters, no matter the later remake of "Meteor Garden", the current Zhang Han and Wang Hedi, it is difficult to surpass the Daoming Temple played by Yan Chengxu.
However, Yan Chengxu in real life is very different from Daoming Temple, and the real Yan Chengxu is actually very introverted. In a variety show he participated in recently, Yan Chengxu revealed an amazing secret.
Everyone must not have thought that the once admired male god turned out to be a child abandoned by his parents.
Recently, Yan Chengxu was invited as a guest to participate in the love variety show "Heartbeat Signal", and when discussing the topic of marriage with the host and other guests, he recalled his parents. He said:
In the future, if I have a child, I don't want him to feel worthless like he did when I was a child. My mother once said to me, "You are superfluous. ”
Yan Chengxu revealed that his parents had divorced when he was a child, and he and his sister lived with his father because his mother was unwilling to raise them. The family situation is very difficult, and even the house is damaged after ** is unable to repair it.
Yan Chengxu's father was dissatisfied with Yan Chengxu before he was born.
Yan Chengxu's sister has lost her temper since she was a child, and even if her father cares, she won't necessarily care. But if Yan Chengxu accidentally used too much force when he put down the bowl, he would be punched and kicked by his father. Such an experience makes Yan Chengxu often doubt life.
Am I my father's biological child?What the hell did I do wrong?Am I unwanted?Don't I deserve to be loved?
His entire childhood was clouded by low self-esteem and insecurity.
When he was a child, Yan Chengxu often fell ill, because only in his illness could he feel his father's tenderness. Another time, he took a fancy to a favorite toy and hoped that his father would buy it for him, but he was scolded by his father, saying that the family had no money and could not buy him a toy. Despite this, in the end, Yan Chengxu's father bought the toy and gave it to him.
These moments are the warmest and happiest of Yan Chengxu's childhood.
When Yan Chengxu was 12 years old, his father died of illness, which forced his mother to take on the responsibility of raising him and his sister. In order to support her family, she worked hard every day, despite her meager income.
In order to reduce the burden on his mother, Yan Chengxu and his sister began to go out to do odd jobs early. They tried their hand at a variety of jobs, such as toy packers, convenience store clerks, construction site workers, and even worked as BB machine salespeople and bartenders. As long as it is a job that can make money, Yan Chengxu will try.
My friend was sad to see that he was working too hard and earning less. So he suggested that he try to be a model, and Yan Chengxu followed his friend's advice. In the process of becoming a model, he was discovered by a talent scout, and thus began his own road in the entertainment industry.
In order to prove the value of his existence, Yan Chengxu is always very unwilling to be outdone, and works hard to do anything.
The actor of Daoming Temple was not originally intended to be Yan Chengxu, but someone else. Yan Chengxu was originally selected to play Ximen, but the actor who invited him to play Daoming Temple disliked acting with the newcomer and finally chose to give up. Later, director Chai Zhiping decided to let Yan Chengxu play the role of Daoming Temple.
Why did the director choose Yan Chengxu?
The reason why Yan Chengxu was able to take on the role of Daoming Temple was very dramatic, and it all depended on his love at first sight with a stranger.
Before the start of filming, the director asked Yan Chengxu to come out for dinner, and there was another friend who went with the director. During the meal, the director asked his fellow friends: "What do you think of this young man?"”
He praised Yan Chengxu and predicted that he would become a celebrity in Asia in the future.
Yan Chengxu later learned that the person who traveled with the director was a fortune teller. If the fortune teller was not optimistic about him at that time, Yan Chengxu might still be living a difficult life now.
As soon as "Meteor Garden" was broadcast, it unexpectedly became popular. The F4 group, composed of Yan Chengxu and three other male artists, not only became popular in the show, but also became popular all over Asia. As the captain of the boy idol group F4, Yan Seungxu's life has changed completely.
He was originally a child from an ordinary and poor family, but overnight he became a top star in Asia, with countless loyal fans, and his life reached its peak. At this moment, he felt unprecedented happiness.
After becoming popular all over the country, what followed was a never-ending work.
Since the broadcast of "Meteor Garden", Yan Chengxu has been in a constant stream of dramas and announcements, with little time to rest, and his staff even had to work shifts to assist him in completing his tasks.
However, even after completing a job, Yan Chengxu always immediately rushes to the next place of work, and his most desired wish is to have a good rest.
In addition to these, Yan Chengxu also has to face the "surveillance" of paparazzi and fans at all times. His inconspicuous words can be misinterpreted, making headlines in magazines and newspapers the next day, and fans sneaking into his room to deliver letters and gifts.
Yan Chengxu, who had never seen the world before, was very disturbed by everything crazy. The torrent brought by Daoming Temple once made him lose in it. In the eyes of the outside world, Yan Chengxu often has to play the role of Daoming Temple, which is similar to his own personality but has a huge difference in nature.
Seungwook is afraid of losing his knowledge of himself.
Soon, Yan Chengxu also realized that his strength did not meet the high evaluation of him by the outside world.
The people around him may be lying, and some people are close to him, encouraging and praising him every day by his side, but secretly speaking ill of him.
I experienced a rift and depression in my heart.
He couldn't tell how many of the people around him were genuinely expressing friendship and praise to him, and how many were false.
If you can't trust the people around you, you feel unrecognized.
Yan Chengxu felt very lost in the face of all this confusion and pain. Therefore, for a period of time, he developed a strong sense of rejection for Daoming Temple. He aspires to hide himself and truly be himself in his own world, rather than becoming the "Daoming Temple" in the eyes of everyone.
At that time, even after getting rich, the thrifty Yan Chengxu began to indulge in a life of drunken money. In order to escape reality and loneliness, he made a group of friends who drank and meat, went to karaoke every day, attended parties, and overateen.
He even indulged himself, causing him to gain more than ten to twenty pounds, and his appearance and figure became bloated. Although he has a good script in hand, he doesn't want to act at all.
It wasn't until he suffered a serious foot injury that he couldn't work for a year or two that he met Liu Genghong during the ** period.
Yan Chengxu was deeply influenced by Liu Genghong, and he helped Yan Chengxu get rid of his unhealthy life state, allowing him to see the true charm of life. So, Yan Chengxu finally calmed down and began to talk to himself.
What exactly do I want?
Although Yan Chengxu did not find the answer to this question, he realized that he could not continue to waste his life.
Therefore, during the period when he was unable to work, Yan Chengxu signed up for an acting course, hoping to study seriously in it and improve his business level.
On several occasions, Yan Chengxu was so busy taking care of his sick mother that he did not prepare well for his acting class, and his performance in class was not satisfactory, and he was severely criticized by the acting teacher, so that he had doubts about his life and almost gave up acting. Just when he was confused, Ariel Lin, who was also studying at school, found out about the situation and said to him:
It's easy to give up, but if you really want to do something well, it won't go too well. We must learn to face difficulties, accept criticism, and not be swayed by emotions.
After hearing this passage, Yan Chengxu suddenly became enlightened, got rid of the predicament of self-doubt, and began to concentrate on learning acting.
Yan Seung-wook was bored with repeated practice at first, but as he continued to practice, he gradually discovered the charm of acting and became obsessed with this feeling. By devoting himself to what he loves every day, he no longer feels spiritually empty.
From then on, Yan Chengxu began his inner practice.
Once, Yan Chengxu was very concerned about other people's evaluation of him, his reputation and fame in the outside world and other appearance factors, and in this way, he missed a lot of things.
He has gone through more than 20 detours and now has a deep understanding of the transience of life. Therefore, he decided to stop dwelling on the things that bothered him, and instead chose to focus on being himself and cherishing the present life.
Yan Chengxu no longer hides his true self, although he may be accused of being "naïve", "incompetent", "disappointing" or "not improving".
When he was invited to participate in the variety show "Brother Who Overcame Difficulties", he behaved without scruples, laughing out loud when he laughed, and burst into tears when he cried.
No longer bear the burden of idols, no longer work hard to prove to the world, just devote yourself to doing your best;If he doesn't do well enough, Yan Chengxu will continue to learn.
In his early 20s, Yan Chengxu once thought that an excellent actor only needed to make up carefully, memorize his lines, and then show his handsomeness.
Yan Chengxu no longer thinks about acting as superficially as before.
After receiving the notice of the idol drama "Summer Flower", some people ridiculed Yan Chengxu for being in his forties, but he was still playing the role of his youth, but Yan Chengxu didn't care about it and silently prepared for the role.
It is recommended for viewers who like to watch the plot at 2x speed**, because the director uses a lot of slow motion in order to create the atmosphere. Many people turn off the plot before they have the patience to see the hero and heroine know each other.
In order to better show Xiao Han's image, Yan Chengxu began to exercise and changed his eating habits to only eat boiled vegetables to create a strong and stylish appearance.
At the same time, he will observe the love patterns of others and apply what he has learned in society to his performancesIn addition, Yan Chengxu also participated in floral and carpentry courses in order to better restore the setting of the male protagonist.
Yan Chengxu no longer uses the exaggerated techniques of his youth in the interpretation of expressions and body language, but will carefully study the script and carefully design every detail for Xiao Han.
Yan Chengxu's career did start quite late, but he is no longer the young boy he was more than 20 years ago. Although he is closely associated with the image of Daoming Temple, he can no longer replicate his original role.
Today, he is no longer young, timid, and unenterprising, but embraces the world steadily and bravely, surpasses himself in the process of growth, and strives to move towards the road of maturity.
It doesn't depend on character, it doesn't depend on age, it's a process of reconciliation between Yan Seung-wook and himself, and it's a journey to find his self.
