Recently, the new variety show "Infinite Transcendence Class 2" was launched, and the male artist Zhu Zixiao, who had not filmed for 4 years, appeared again.
In the show, he has lost his previous youthfulness, and he seems to have lost his former self-confidence, and his state is very different from when he was popular before.
disappeared", Zhu Zixiao entered the live broadcast track and became an anchor with goods.
And this time to record the show, he was also asked by the judges why he chose this way, and he said frankly: "Bringing goods is my back road." ”
However, in Zhu Zixiao's performance, several teachers were not optimistic about his acting ability, and Wu Zhenyu even complained directly: "He just doesn't have enough acting skills." ”
In fact, if you go back to ten years ago, Zhu Zixiao is definitely one of the popular students, although it is not a big traffic, but it is more than enough to be the male number one in various works.
However, why did he suddenly "fall" at his peak, and even fell into the rumors of being **?
Zhu Zixiao, 38 years old this year, made his debut work in the once popular hit drama "Let's Watch Meteor Shower".
In the play, he plays Shangguan Ruiqian, one of the members of H4, and the target is the role of Ximen in "Meteor Garden", a typical *** character design.
Although Zhu Zixiao was 23 years old at the time, he still looked juvenile due to his appearance.
As soon as the work was broadcast, he won the love of thousands of girls, and became a new generation of idols together with Zhang Han and a certain Shuang.
The "fast men" Yu Haoming and Wei Chen of the same crew also became popular for the second time because of their appearance in this TV series.
In fact, unlike Zhang Han, who was born in the regular army of Chinese opera, Zhu Zixiao graduated from Shenyang University of Technology and had no previous acting experience.
However, because he was handsome, he began to work as a part-time model when he was in college, and he also met Guo Jingming, who was the text director of Tianyu Media at the time, through a friend.
Under the recommendation of the other party, Zhu Zixiao was able to enter the crew of "Meteor Shower" and played an important role, and became popular overnight.
With his popularity, he appeared in the audience's field of vision more and more frequently, and became more and more popular because of his lively and cheerful personality.
But there are many so-called popular people, at the end of the same year when Zhu Zixiao became popular, because of the recording of Mango Channel's "Encyclopedia" program, he was diagnosed with gang fissure by the old Chinese medicine doctor who was invited, which caused an uproar among the public for a while.
Even after many years, many viewers still think of this stalk when they think of him.
But it doesn't matter, Zhu Zixiao was on the rise in his career at that time - he soon filmed the sequel to "Meteor Shower", and in the same year, he also became the host of the "Go Forward" program.
There is no doubt that at that stage, he was closely with Mango Terrace, and in other words, he was actually tightly with Guo Jingming.
Because in addition to film and television resources, Zhu Zixiao also frequently appeared on the covers of magazines hosted by the other party, and his popularity also skyrocketed.
The two are unusually close, and they are even suspected of using "couple names".
But of course, the two sides did not respond to this, which also made the relationship between the two seem even more confusing.
Zhu Zixiao was born in Shenyang, Liaoning Province in 1986, 3 years younger than Guo Jingming, but the experiences of the two are very different.
Compared with the latter, who became famous as a teenager because of his outstanding writing ability, Zhu Zixiao once revealed that he was a 205-pound fat boy when he was in junior high school, and even felt inferior because he couldn't buy a suitable school uniform.
In desperation, he made up his mind, and later maintained his weight at 140 pounds, so he achieved a perfect transformation and began to look for opportunities to become a part-time model.
After becoming popular, Zhu Zixiao starred in the costume drama "The Secret History of Princess Taiping" and the suspense drama "Fairy Tale Half" and other works, and the objects of cooperation were not Jia Jingwen and Li Xiang, but Zhang Junning and Chen Qiaoen, all of whom were popular female stars.
Especially in the variety show "Variety Show", he also further consolidated his popularity by imitating artists such as Fei Xiang, Aaron Kwok, and Andy Lau.
And during this period, his scandals were not few:
first had a scandal with singer Tang Xiao in the MV; Later, it was rumored that he was doing a fake scene with Li Xinai because of the filming of the TV series "Fireworks".
Even, Zhu Zixiao was photographed by the paparazzi on an ambiguous date with Japanese actress Sato ** on an ambiguous date at night......
Maybe looking at it now, the appearance of these scandals has changed his acting career in a sense?
Looking at it now, the peak of his acting career should be around 2013, exactly ten years ago.
In 2013, Zhu Zixiao played the black-bellied and ruthless Nine Elder Brother Yinyu in the clear-end film "Palace Lock Agarwood", and he also had a large-scale scene with Zhao Liying.
It's just that now, the woman has embarked on the "top-class road" with her hard work, but Zhu Zixiao has become a "delivery anchor" in the mouth of the actor, and the coffee position is not the same, and the situation is embarrassing.
In fact, this year, his contract with Tianyu also expired, and he immediately chose to go it alone and set up a studio, which shows that his acting career is developing in a good direction.
The following year, Zhu Zixiao also won the Outstanding Young Actor Award on the China TV Actor Image List with the military-themed "Heroes in the Line of Fire".
In the costume drama "The Condor Heroes", which made Chen Xiao and Chen Yanxi fall in love, Zhu Zixiao played Kublai Khan.
It can be said that his popularity at that time was much higher than that of other actors in "Meteor Shower".
But no one expected that at the end of this year, Zhu Zixiao suddenly emptied his social platform content, and even the images became a bunch of garbled characters.
According to rumors, this may have a lot to do with his previous same-sex scandal with Xiao Sichuan.
Before this, some netizens suddenly broke the news that the two were suspected to be a pair of lovers earlier, but they broke up because of a certain party's split.
In this regard, Zhu Zixiao reacted very much, and began to delete a lot of content a month before he completely emptied Weibo, and one day he changed his Weibo name four times in succession.
For these so-called revelations, his studio has actually expressed some feelings, which are regarded as a response to this matter:
"After being misinterpreted by others, you can choose to be angry or you can choose to smile ......The open-mindedness revealed through the smile makes the other person feel small and ugly. Those who are clear are self-purifying, and those who are turbid are self-turbid. ”It is also worth noting that before these revelations were issued one after another, Guo Jingming's male companion had already been replaced by Chen Xuedong.
It is reported that his friendship with the other party began in 2012, and it is rumored on the Internet that the two met through Chen's cousin.
At that time, Guo Jingming was looking for an actor for his TV series "Origami Era of Small Times", and he fell in love with Chen Xuedong at a glance and strongly recommended him to play Zhou Chongguang.
Later, in order to strongly recommend the other party to play this role, Guo Jingming even exchanged views with Qu Youning, the director of the play, on social platforms, which was extremely lively.
After that, Chen Xuedong seemed to have really replaced the former Zhu Zixiao and became the "Ming boy" who was praised by Guo Jingming.
On the other hand, Zhu Zixiao, who may have long been aware of the "crisis", seemed to have the idea of going behind the scenes before giving up his social platform account, and invested in and starred in works such as "Shining Mingtian" and "Four Thousand Gold".
The following year, the works he starred in were still on the air one after another, but whether it was the ** drama "Love Que Song", the costume drama "Shocking Yue Lei", the urban drama "Summer Dream Rhapsody", etc., it seems to be tepid.
It is worth mentioning that in 2016, Zhu Zixiao, Zhang Han and Zhao Liying all made a second match in different works, but the splash was not big.
During this time, he started his own business, creating his own skincare brand, Appleme, but it didn't seem to be doing as well as he wanted.
Since then, Zhu Zixiao's sense of presence in the entertainment industry has become lower and lower, and he has participated in works such as "Pian Pian Cold Young Pretty Woman", "Happy Secret Agent", "My True Core Boyfriend" and other works, all of which have been quietly pounced.
Especially in 2017, Guo Jingming was suddenly exposed by a writer named Li Feng, saying that he was harassed by the other party.
He was a contracted writer for Guo Jingming's Ming Magazine, and the two completed a total of five books during their cooperation, and the so-called harassment incident is said to have occurred during their cooperation.
After the matter fermented, Guo Jingming, of course, did not sit still, but filed a lawsuit with the court, suing Li Feng for defamation.
In the end, the matter was settled because neither side could prove right or wrong.
What's more interesting is that this incident directly caused Zhu Zixiao, whose popularity was originally very low, to rush to the hot search list again.
Before that, he had been rumored to have been subjected to **.
Indeed, Zhu Zixiao's career seems to have encountered a bottleneck again, although the spy war drama "Xiaolou and Dongfeng" and the inspirational drama "Happy Ups and Downs" have really no bright spots.
In 2020, he briefly became popular by playing the role of Yuen Long, the ruthless and ambitious deputy palace master of Lize Palace, in the Xianxia drama "Liuli", but soon stopped his acting career because he chose to be an anchor.
In August of the same year, Zhu Zixiao officially entered the ranks of live broadcasts, and completed nearly 300 live broadcasts in less than a year.
According to incomplete statistics, his longest live broadcast lasted 16 hours, which can be said to be a very hard work.
The return on Zhu Zixiao's efforts is not low: now he has more than 16 million fans, and he is a very mature head anchor.
The huge fan base has naturally generated huge economic benefits: it is said that Zhu Zixiao's live broadcast results are quite amazing, and he made 200 million yuan a month by selling goods.
Some netizens directly concluded: "Zhu Zixiao will definitely be richer than Guo Jingming in the future!" ”
Of course, some people questioned that he was born as an actor and didn't act, and some fans directly shouted: "Acting in a good drama!" ”
Zhu Zixiao also responded in person:
"Do you think a good drama will come to me? I'm not a traffic star, I'm not fresh meat, and I have no chance to have a good drama. ”Until this time, he made a comeback with the new variety show "Infinite Transcendence Class", but he was complained by his mentors because his acting skills were not up to par.
He also caused controversy among the mentors on the show:
Hao Lei thinks that it is not easy for Zhu Zixiao to be an actor again, because his live broadcast may have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Zeng Zhiwei and Ning Ning felt that Hao Lei was "prejudiced" against actors to bring goods, after all, actors also need to support their families and make money.
However, Zhu Zixiao, who has been away from acting for many years, is not from a professional class, and has no masterpieces, can he really return quickly?
Do you expect him to continue to be an actor, will you stop for his performance?
