Han Dong was born in an ordinary family, his parents both worked in the Bridge Engineering Bureau of the Ministry of Railways, which can be said to be a typical family within the system.
He grew up with excellent grades, so his parents had high hopes that he would grow up to be an outstanding engineer and take over the family business.
Han Dong was admitted to Central South University majoring in civil engineering as he wished, which was his joy after the college entrance examination.
Han Dong spent four years of conscientious study and life in college, and finally graduated with the top grades in his class.
Originally, he thought that he could smoothly embark on the path of career development, but when he actually started working 9-to-5, he found that this life was monotonous and boring, and he felt bored, as if he was working like a machine every day.
At that time, a draft message in a newspaper sparked Han Dong's inner impulse and enthusiasm. It was April 2005, not long after he started working, he happened to see the draft held by Director You in the newspaper.
He was impulsive and decided to sign up, but he didn't expect to successfully pass the layers of selection, which attracted the attention of Director You Xiaogang, and finally got a ticket to the north.
Han Dong trembled the tickets, held them tightly in the palm of his hand, and then watched his parents watch him board the train with worried faces. The next day, their son will start a new life, and they are nervous and worried, but also proud.
Han Dong, a young man who had just graduated, waved goodbye to them with a stiff but wise smile.
Time flies, more than ten years pass in a flash. When we met Han Dong again, we found that he had grown into a mature and stable actor. It all started with a humble draft in 2005.
His life completely ushered in a huge turn, and it was that choice that caused it.
After Han Dong came to Beijing, he became the first batch of students of Emperor Film and Television School in North China. In the one-year performance study, he deeply experienced the joy of life in drama and strengthened his determination to develop on the road of acting.
However, graduation means waiting for opportunities, and the first few years are the toughest.
Throughout the year, Han Dong only starred in two TV series with small supporting roles. Most of the time there is nothing to do, and just food and shelter are a problem. He used to earn more than 1,000 a month, but now he even has a burden on rent and basic expenses.
Because he was out of town, Han Dong held on to his self-esteem, so he was reluctant to ask his family for help.
Han Dong's life remains the same, and he lives very poorly every day. Sometimes he even feels unwell, but the medical expenses have become a problem for him.
In this case, what he hopes most is to meet a classmate in the dormitory for a birthday, so that he can have a meal.
In daily life, the most economical diet is flatbread with mustard, which can fill the stomach. Despite the fact that his parents called** to care about him, he chose not to mention his indecisive situation, and everything seemed fine on the surface.
Han Dong persisted in such a state of life for a long time, became suspicious of this circle, and felt shaken by himself.
It wasn't until his father said something that saved his confidence: "Don't worry about going out, come back Dad is here, it's no problem to take care of you." ”
His parents became his greatest moral support. At the same time, it also made him determined to continue to struggle here. In the past five years of struggle, Han Dong's character has been sharpened.
These experiences also laid the foundation for him to establish himself in the field later.
In the first few years of Han Dong's career, as a halfway student, it was difficult for him to adapt to the ecology of the entertainment industry.
He couldn't fit in with the actors who had attended drama school since childhood.
They were able to talk about teachers and seniors on the spot, but Han Dong could only stand aside and become an outsider.
As a result, he felt inferior and insecure, especially after not achieving anything in the previous years, and he was more worried about his limited talents.
However, Han Dong did not give up and focused more on shaping the character and improving his acting skills. He firmly believes that as long as you work hard, you will eventually usher in opportunities.
In 2010, Han Dong played completely different roles in the two popular dramas "Step by Step" and "Fengshen Bang", one is insidious and vicious, and the other is righteous and awe-inspiring. The audience was full of praise for his interpretation of these two extreme characters.
As his popularity and attention skyrocketed, he also gained a foothold in the entertainment industry.
The next few years were the pinnacle of Han Dong's career. He played the affectionate lover Dolgon in "Beauty Without Tears", which fully embodies the brother-son relationship.
challenged the role of the suave Tian Boguang in "Smiling Proud Jianghu".
The honest monk Xuzhu is in "Tianlong Babu", and the cynical Wei Xiaobao appears in "The Legend ......of Deer and Ding".In recent years, he has created a variety of characters, continuously performing different types of roles, and showing his broader potential.
Despite the controversy and skepticism, Han Dong has grown into a mature actor.
He was open to all sorts of new challenges, unafraid of commentary, and embraced every character with arms in his arms, which left the crowd arguing.
Over the years, Han Dong has successfully performed more than 100 roles with distinct personalities, conquering the audience with his strength and charm, making him rise steadily in the industry.
Han Dong has spent almost 360 days in the crew every year for the past 18 years. He is not an easy person to satisfy, and will spend a lot of time studying the characters and lines in order to play the role better.
In between shooting, he will continue to learn to maintain his physical fitness and enrich his acting skills. His life can be said to be dedicated to the passion of acting.
Despite his busy schedule, Han rarely appears in public, and it is rare to see him in other business events and entertainment reports other than award ceremonies.
Whether it is a private party or a business event, Han Dong does not often attend.
Whenever I mentioned it to my friend, he always laughed it off. In fact, Han Dong attaches great importance to his family, and as a married person, he chooses to spend most of his time at home with his wife and daughter, except for being very busy during filming.
He rarely shares his life on social media because he is very worried about the invasion of his family's privacy.
Han Dong's low-key and dedicated work attitude not only helped him gain a foothold in the entertainment industry, but also allowed him to successfully protect the happiness of his family.
In the past 18 years, he has never been caught up in the maelstrom of scandals, despite being active under fluorescent lights. All who know him will praise him for this quality.
He seems to prefer this peaceful life and feels content as long as he is with his family.
Han Dong looks back on his 18-year journey in the entertainment industry and has experienced many twists and turns. Especially the first 5 years were a hell of time.
At that time, he was destitute and unable to gain a firm foothold in the entertainment industry, and his inferiority complex and vacillation were always accompanied by him.
Fortunately, Han Dong is not someone who gives up easily. After 5 years of struggle, his will has become extremely tenacious, and he has learned to face life positively and optimistically in the trough.
When the opportunity came, he had grown into a mature and perceptive actor who was able to seize every opportunity.
The entertainment industry is like a reincarnation, there is no eternal hegemon, only the next peak that is higher and farther.
Han Dong is not afraid of newcomers and competition in the future, because he has a stronger heart than others. In these 18 years of experience, he has found himself and found the destination of life.
Today, he is middle-aged, but he still maintains a keen sense of observation and is still passionate about acting.
We believe that Han Dong has the temperament of an acting school that cultivates both inside and outside and is reborn in Nirvana, his road to stardom is far from over, and the most exciting performances are still waiting for him to show.
Looking back on Han Dong's acting career in the past 18 years, his experience has given many inspirations to those who have dreams.
He first told us to take risks, to chase our dreams, and not to be afraid to push our comfort zone.
The rush to enter the draft in 2005 completely changed the trajectory of his life.
We should also take the initiative and actively strive for every possible opportunity to realize our dreams.
Second, be rational and positive in the face of doubt. When Han Dong plays different types of roles many times, it will inevitably cause controversy. However, instead of shying away from questioning, he continues to bravely try his next role.
Sometimes, we can't let our inner beliefs be defeated by external misunderstandings.
He ultimately proved that with perseverance, there is a chance to change your fate.
During those most difficult 5 years, he did not choose to give up. In the end, he ushered in roles and opportunities, and was successfully promoted to one of the first-line actors.
Han Dong showed excellent acting skills today, and he can be called the best among the powerful actors. However, this is only a new starting point for his acting career, and there are more endless peaks waiting for him to conquer in the future.
We sincerely hope that he can present more amazing performances on the screen and bring more emotion to this era.
