1. Lin Yushen's name.
In the entertainment industry, there are many so-called "second generation stars", and with the support and help of their parents, they usually perform quite well.
However, Lin Yushen's situation was unexpected, and although he had a unique advantage in resources, he showed a bland performance in popularity.
Lin Yushen's mother is named Li Xiaowan, she is the founder of a film and television company, and she has stars such as Zhou Xun, Chen Kun, Yang Mi, Yang Yang, and Zhang Meng.
Godmother is the well-known director Li Shaohong, whose works include "Daming Palace Ci", "Orange is Red" and the new version of "Dream of Red Mansions".
With these two huge trees, Lin Yushen should be evenly matched, but although he has debuted for more than 20 years and has grown from a young man to a middle-aged uncle, his career has not yet made a breakthrough.
Lin Yushen's parents ended their marriage very early, which is why he showed a rebellious personality from an early age, and he began to fall in love at the age of 14. In desperation, his mother decided to send him abroad to study Xi finance. There, he met a very good friend, he got good grades, and he was able to marry a very rich man. Unexpectedly, Lin Yushen watched a large number of European and American films overseas, and had the ambition to return to China to become a star.
Despite his mother's resolute opposition, he still went to his godmother for help, and was finally arranged by his godmother Li Shaohong to the crew of "Orange is Red", and 20-year-old Lin Yushen made his official debut.
Now that the matter is a foregone conclusion, the two mothers will naturally give their full support. Lin Yushen has since participated in many films and TV series, from dramas to idol dramas, from Chinese films to foreign films, but he has never been able to become popular.
In the new version of "Yitian" in 2019, Yang Xiao was specially invited to participate in the performance. Lin Yushen felt that this role was quite simple, so he made a short cameo with a "lazy" mentality, but he unexpectedly became popular and was known as "the most handsome Yang Xiao", competing with Zhang Tielin.
It's a pity that after this turmoil, Lin Yushen's performance became bland again, making it difficult for the audience to recognize him.
* The reason behind it is that Lin Yushen is always immersed in his comfort zone and often likes to play some ruffian roles, but he can't show a unique style like Jiang Wen or Liu Ye, which is too exaggerated and lacks uniqueness, so it is difficult to stand out.
2, Xiang Zuo. Xiang Zuo is the prince of Hong Kong, his father Xiang Huaqiang, mother Chen Lan, and godfather Jet Li are all high-profile figures in this circle.
Since Xiang Zuo started his acting career, he has mastered the top resources, and his performance is like playing a blockbuster movie.
He first established a familiar relationship with Wu Jing in "Huo Yuanjia" and "Casting Names", then completed the task with Wu Jing in "Winning the Handsome", and then showed his emotions in "Macau Fengyun 3" starring Chow Yun-fat, and successfully created the role of "Dragon Fifteen", the son of Long Wu.
In 2016, Xiang Zuo stepped into the film industry in Chinese mainland, his father generously invested hundreds of millions of dollars to make the movie "Legend of the Gods" for him, and his godfather Jet Li also led a large number of stars to participate, providing him with all-round support and protection. Not only did the film lose a lot, but it also won the broomstick award for the most disappointing of the audience.
In the following year, Jack Ma, who was unwilling to be lonely, decided to become an unparalleled master, and widely invited heroes from all walks of life to shoot the movie "Gong Shoudao". Under Jet Li's enthusiastic admiration, the originally unknown Xiang Zuo also emerged and became one of the competitors with a clear wind, and his ** degree is quite high.
It's a pity that Xiang Zuo still hasn't become popular. After that, Johnny To made "My Boxing Boyfriend" specifically for him, but unfortunately it did not become popular.
Just when he felt hopeless, the love between him and Guo Biting unexpectedly caused a sensation.
The reason why Xiang Zuo is not popular is actually very straightforward, that is, his appearance is too harsh. His performance was too contrived. Playing a decent role is unconvincing, and at the same time, he is unwilling to play a complete villain role, because such a villain role is not suitable as a male lead.
In short, he hasn't decided where he is yet, but Xiang Zuo doesn't lack the resources he needs, and with just a few more attempts, he might be able to find a way out.
3, a person named An Zhijie.
Before Xiang Zuo was cultivated, Xiang Huaqiang regarded An Zhijie as "Jet Li's ** person", but unfortunately he did not receive enough attention.
An spent his childhood abroad and developed a keen interest in sports before returning to Hong Kong to become a model. Because of her outstanding temperament, she was quickly sought after by many people. In 2002, Xiang Huaqiang began excavation work and signed a 10-year contract with him.
An Zhijie's first film was "Black Man 2" directed by Tsui Hark, and his target at that time was Jet Li. In the company, he was hailed as Jet Li's successor, but this did not cause much attention or controversy.
Subsequently, An Zhijie and Wu Jianhao co-starred in the movie "Young Tiger". Although they won the Best Newcomer award at the Academy Awards, it didn't help them substantially.
In 2004, Xiang Huaqiang entrusted him to Jackie Chan and played the role of a loser in "New Police Story", but unfortunately, under Wu Yanzu's beauty, everyone looked dwarfed, and An Zhijie completely lost his sense of existence.
After that, An Zhijie began to try to play the role of a tough guy, he participated in action movies such as "Special Identity", "2" and "Magic Police", and developed a relationship with Xie Tingting, almost becoming Nicholas Tse's brother-in-law.
Unfortunately, despite the fact that he impressed the audience, he was never popular and could only be seen as a supporting character.
An Zhijie has many advantages, but his shortcomings are also obvious. He is a standard straight man of steel, with both fast and powerful movements, and although he seems to have a lot of lethality, he is not good at acting inner dramas, so he gives the impression that he is strong on the outside but fragile on the inside, and it is difficult for him to handle complex roles.
In fact, he can learn from Zou Zhao Xi long, if he can show the unique charm of the villain, then he is not far from the day when he will become truly popular.
4. Surround the surroundings.
Zhou Zhouwei's starting point in life is quite high, he just finished his studies at the age of 22, and he has already starred in the movie "Sunshine Blooms Like a Flower" starring Haiyan.
What exactly is this concept?As an important figure in the Beijing circle, Haiyan has successfully made many male stars famous. Tong Dawei and Lu Yi both participated in the performance of Haiyan Opera after completing their studies, and became famous in one fell swoop.
Sadly, Monday was an exception and did not make any splashes.
After that, Zhou Yiwei participated in many large-scale TV series, whether it was costumes, spy wars, urban life, romantic love or suspense, his partners were warmly welcomed, but he unfortunately became an undesirable persona non grata.
After 15 years, he finally became popular in 2017 by starring in "I Am Not the God of Medicine". The film tells the saga of an ordinary doctor. In that year, Zhou Yiwei not only won the highest honor of the year in "The Birth of an Actor", but also officially announced their marriage with Zhu Dan.
That year, three major events occurred at the same time, causing the public attention to rise dramatically in Zhou Yiwei, and his latest report can be seen almost every few days. As a general rule, he is likely to encounter a fire next, but surprisingly, his fire has subsided over the past few years and remains in a state of uneventful condition.
The reason why Zhou Yiwei is not popular is because his personality is too conservative and lacks enthusiasm for entertainment. He likes to watch TV series, but his favorite is "Latent". In my daily life, I prefer to stay at home and read in addition to acting. He said, I'm not a demon. This has some similarities with Duan Hongyi, who is known as the "Drama Demon", but his basic skills are still insufficient.
5. Huang Xuan's name.
Although Huang Xuan's popularity is quite high, it doesn't seem to be that popular compared to the resources he has.
He is regarded as one of the few actors who is loved by major directors.
Huang Xuan did not have a formal professional education, he is a graduate of the Beijing Dance Academy. He first rose to prominence by participating in the draft for the new version of "Dream of Red Mansions", and then participated in "Red Sorghum" and "The Legend of Miyue" starring Zheng Xiaolong.
Subsequently, he stepped into the film industry and successively starred in Xu Anhua's "** Period", Lou Ye's "Tuina", Zhang Yimou's "The Great Wall", Chen Kaige's "The Legend of the Cat Demon" and Feng Xiaogang's "Fanghua".
In the past two years, Huang Xuan has decided to turn to the filming of the main theme, and he has participated in large-scale productions such as "Changjin Lake" and the poverty alleviation TV series "Mountains and Seas", which has undoubtedly shocked the public.
According to the above list, Huang Xuan has participated in almost all popular TV series, regardless of his reputation, his ** rate is the highest, but his popularity has not reached the same level.
This is mainly because he is too low-key.
Huang Xuan firmly believes in winning the hearts of the audience through acting, rather than currying favor with everyone through scandals. He thinks that as long as he is an actor, there will be scandals, but if he can play himself well in the play, then he can turn scandals into fun. Therefore, after every movie shooting, Huang Xuan suddenly disappears, while other actors have more or less scandals and always make headlines in the entertainment industry.
Over time, if he is not a true fan, it will be difficult to hear from him, so his fame is not the greatest.
Here's a summary:
The continued lackluster performance of these actors is largely due to the fact that they have not yet defined their roles.
Therefore, despite our great efforts and abundant resources, it is still difficult to create works with practical significance.
However, from a relative point of view, they do make a big step forward compared to those stars who have become famous through hype.
I hope they don't get too anxious, just clarify their place, and I'm sure there will be hope in the near future.
