"I heard that you spent a whole year in Hengdian at that time? No, it was 362 days in Hengdian! ”
In 2011, the dialogue between actor Han Dong and the host attracted everyone's attention at an interview site. Although it has been 18 years since his debut, he has shot nearly 100 works, but he has not yet been widely recognized.
Since his unexpected entry into the entertainment industry in 2005, he has not only played the sinister "Nine Masters" in "Step by Step", but also played the affectionate "Dolgon" in "Beauty Without Tears", and also created a simple "virtual bamboo" image in "Dragon Babu".
However, his other identity is that he graduated from the "985 School" as an outstanding student!
Compared with other actors, Han Dong is not from a professional background. Before becoming an actor, he was an excellent student who graduated from "Civil Engineering at Central South University".
Civil engineering can be simply understood as the work of engaging in construction and house building. Therefore, when he first graduated, Han Dong often worked with migrant workers on construction sites, helping them carry bricks.
Therefore, some people joked that Han Dong used to be a "migrant worker" after he entered the entertainment industry, but no matter what his identity, Han Dong finally chose to become an actor.
How did a person with no acting training choose to become an actor?
Maybe when you learn about Han Dong's experience, you will sigh that the handsome guy is really a natural winner!
Han Dong, then an engineer, was busy working on a construction site one day in 2004, just like his migrant workers.
However, working as an engineer every day gradually made him lose motivation because he only became an engineer to meet his parents' expectations.
On Singles' Day in 1980, that is, on the day of Double 11, a boy was born in the Han family in Xiaoshan District, Hangzhou, Zhejiang.
Parents expected their child to achieve something, so they named him "Han Dong", but they never imagined that this child would choose the path of art.
The Han family is not very familiar with the term art, because their ancestors have nothing to do with art, so it can be said that they have nothing to do with it.
Han Dong did not receive special art studies from his parents when he was a child, and he grew up as the director of the engineering bureau of the Ministry of Railways, so he was thought to inherit his father's career as an engineer from the beginning.
Xiao Handong has been regarded as a good child by his family since he was a child, the teacher recognized him as a good student, and his classmates regarded him as a handsome guy.
Han Dong's grades are very good in elementary school, junior high school and high school, so his parents and teachers are very reassuring about him.
In the year of the college entrance examination, he also obeyed the persuasion of his parents and chose to apply for the civil engineering major, and his excellent results allowed him to successfully enter the 985 school.
Despite being on a university campus, Han Dong has always been dedicated to his studies, often staying in the library, and even if he doesn't particularly like the major of civil engineering, he doesn't hate it.
Similar to many, Han Dong also had several relationships during his college years, but eventually parted ways for various reasons. In the year of graduation, he was directly employed in a state-owned enterprise with his excellent experience and achievements.
Despite his appearance as a state-owned enterprise, which sounds prestigious, in reality, the newly recruited Han Dong also has to work under the scorching sun like a "migrant worker".
He was full of energy and confidence at first, but as he slowly began to wonder, "Will I be able to persevere on this path?" ”
A colleague at the company joked at the time: "You are so handsome, you should develop into a star, it is a bit of a waste of your talent to stay here!" ”
No one took it to heart at the time, after all, everyone was just joking.
However, fate led Han Dong to a different path in 2004.
When Han Dong was 24 years old, he returned home to accompany his friends to take the art exam during a few days of vacation, but suddenly saw an advertisement for the draft during this period.
After Han Dong heard this, a thought surged in his heart: Do you want to try to be an actor? Is it your dream to become a big star? Hurry up and join us!
He never expected that he signed up to give it a try, but unexpectedly got the favor of the big director!
This great director is You Xiaogang, and his masterpieces include the film "The Secret History of Xiaozhuang".
Han Dong never thought that there would be such an opportunity, and when the director proposed to let him go to Beijing for development, Han Dong hesitated, but finally decided to follow the director's advice and prepare to go to Beijing.
However, parents disagree on this.
As soon as Han Dong wanted to give up his job in a state-owned enterprise and break into the entertainment industry instead, his father was extremely angry.
According to the original plan, the son would have followed his father's career as an engineer, but he decided to give up his current stable life to pursue an unknown future, which was undoubtedly an adventure.
In front of his relatives, my father was so enraged by him that he said, "If you go out of this door, don't count on any support from your family in the future!" ”
The seventh aunt and the eighth aunt held him when he still insisted on leaving, and finally, with the patient conversation with his father and the blessing of his family, Han Dong set out on the road to Beijing.
Of course, he did not start acting immediately, but chose to enter the film and television school founded by director You Xiaogang and began to systematically learn professional film and television performance knowledge.
During his study experience at Nortel, Han Dong met not only famous professors from Nortel, but also some Hong Kong actors. At the time, he was looking forward to acting, but he didn't know that more challenges awaited him.
After he finished his studies, no one immediately asked him to film, and the truth was not as he expected. On the contrary, he was once in a situation where he had no scenes to film, and he had to deal with the problems of eating and paying expensive rent.
He has used up his previous savings, but he is too embarrassed to ask his family for money, and he hopes to make a career out there and then return home.
When his life was at its worst, he could only rely on steamed buns and pickles to survive, and when eating, he had to always pay attention to whether there was a crew that needed actors.
It wasn't until director You Xiaogang began to prepare for China's first sci-fi TV series "Very 24 Hours" that such days lasted for a long time.
Han Dong was just a small actor at the time, and he was not very famous, so Director You Xiaogang only gave him a supporting role that was not very important.
This is his best work in the entertainment industry, and it is also one of the most unforgettable works in Han Dong's heart.
He once went to a small restaurant with his friends, ordered two dishes with the money he earned, and ended up eating seven bowls of rice, which he hadn't tasted so full of satisfaction for a long time.
It wasn't until 2006 that he played the role of Erlang God in the movie "Fengshen Bang: Fengming Qishan" that he began to be recognized by directors and audiences.
The audience's first impression was: "Why is he so handsome!" ”
Because of his excellent acting skills and good looks, Han Dong began to be favored by more resources, and began to cooperate with Chen Zihan, Hu Ge, Zhang Hanyu and others.
He stayed in Hengdian all day long, either to film or to wait for resources so that he could receive more scenes. Therefore, later there was the title of "Hengdian First Brother" at that time.
He also receives some advertisements from time to time, because many companies are willing to cooperate with him because of his outstanding appearance. In addition, he can also take some ads, because because of his attractive appearance, many companies are happy to cooperate with him.
His career continues to develop, and at the same time, he also ushers in love, and this special person is his agent Li Xiang.
Han Dong devoted most of his time to his work when he chose the path to becoming an actor. It was this job that not only made him famous, but also allowed him to find love at work.
Han Dong and his wife Li Xiang met in the crew, and according to Han Dong, he fell in love with his wife at first sight.
Although there are many female stars in the entertainment industry, Han Dong has never been moved by them until he met Li Xiang in the crew on that day in 2010.
Compared with female stars in the entertainment industry, although Li Xiang is not so dazzling, her appearance is also quite outstanding.
After the two met, they began to keep in touch, and then Li Xiang became Han Dong's agent. During the relationship, Han Dong's parents saw Li Xiang many times, but they didn't know that she was her future daughter-in-law.
It wasn't until Han Dong took Li Xiang home and officially met his parents that they suddenly realized: "It turned out to be her!" ”
They have been in love for 9 years, and it was not until 2010 that the two tied the knot; However, before 2017, few people knew about this relationship.
In 2017, Han Dong inadvertently leaked the ** of a family of three, so everyone learned that he was already married.
According to the ** report, it is reported that Han Dong's daughter was born in 2015, it is conceivable that she is now 8 years old, and Han Dong himself is 43 years old.
His career is thriving, not only creating one classic role after another, but also keeping a low profile in his love life, which can be described as an excellent actor!
Han Dong never wanted to be an actor until he was 24 years old, but his biggest wish since then is to be able to perform every scene well.
Life is full of adventures, and people can never predict which corner will change their lives.
Although Han Dong is not a popular star now, he has a successful career and a happy family, and he can be said to be a winner in life.
