In the vanity fair of the entertainment industry, there are many handsome men and beautiful women, and it is not easy to stand out here, what is needed is not only a glamorous appearance and excellent acting skills, but also a strong interpersonal relationship as a blessing.
Even if you have all three of these, it doesn't mean that having a place and being on the front line is a sure thing. Shao Wen is the best example of this.
Although Shao Wen has a delicate star face and has honed his mature acting skills for many years in the department, his acting career has backfired.
Shao Wen was born in a family of operas, and most people can only look forward to the environment of fame. His mother is a national first-class actor, and his father is a composer, so it is not an exaggeration to say that he is from a family of operas.
Over time, Shao Wen has developed a strong interest in opera and drama since he was a child, often following his parents to the theater to observe, and even learning to hum the actors on stage. Seeing this, his mother gave him careful guidance, teaching him how to pronounce words and how to sing tactfully.
However, his parents are not optimistic about him taking the road of being an actor, because they know the hardships of this industry. Therefore, under their persuasion, Shao Wen gave up his dream and entered the prestigious Shanghai Jiao Tong University.
But in the four years of college, Shao Wen has not forgotten his love for opera. He actively participated in the performance club and found that life on stage was what he wanted.
He watched the students in the club devote themselves to the performance one by one, enjoying the sense of accomplishment brought by each performance, and his heart was extremely eager. So, he decisively gave up his studies at a prestigious school and entered the Shanghai Theater Academy for further study through arduous preparations.
At the beginning of the school year, Shao Wen worked very hard, hoping to make up for his congenital deficiencies through systematic learning. Whenever he has time, he spends time in the rehearsal room, practicing basic skills and line skills.
His outstanding performance was quickly recognized by his teachers and classmates. The teacher praised him for his talent, and his classmates took the initiative to ask him for advice. Shao Wen's efforts and talent also made the eyes behind the scenes focus on him.
In 1996, Shao Wen played a small role in the TV series "You Are My Life", which was his first step on the screen. In the following years, he appeared in many film and television works such as "The Vicissitudes of Shanghai", and gradually accumulated the basic skills of an actor.
It wasn't until 2001 that "Black Ice" co-starring Wang Zhiwen was launched, and Shao Wen really ushered in a turning point in his life. Wang Zhiwen's rigorous acting skills impressed him, and under the careful guidance of the other party, Shao Wen's performance has made a qualitative leap.
This drama made him the focus of public attention in one fell swoop. Shao Wen himself is handsome and handsome, and he can take the idol route. But it may be the influence of Wang Zhiwen, who gave up the ** fan economy and devoted himself to acting.
2005's "Jinghua Smoke and Clouds" has become a masterpiece of his acting transformation, the little people in the market, the villain boss, and even the Japanese officer, as long as the role is interesting, he will go all out.
Despite this, it is still difficult for the audience to distinguish him from the character, and it is inevitably difficult to associate his name with the A-list star.
Shao Wen was once annoyed, and even doubted whether he was not suitable for this industry. But years of precipitation have made him understand that gaining a firm foothold in the film and television industry is the first priority. Fame is in an instant, it is better to guard this sky steadfastly, even if it is only the position of the second or third line.
For actors, becoming famous is really not as simple as imagined, not only requires personal efforts, but also inseparable from the favor of opportunities. Even if he was born at the top of the pyramid like Shao Wen, he can't avoid ups and downs in the entertainment industry.
So he let go of his obsession with popularity, but he still retains his enthusiasm for acting, and because of this, there will be excitement in front of the camera.
