Although he has been in the entertainment circle for a long time, he was once rated as "Four Primary School Students in Shanghai" together with the popular Lu Yi, but Chen Long's fame only slowly rose in the past two years. Compared with the "overnight fame" of Li Xueqing, the younger brother's supermodel, Chen Long's star path is much slower, but among the new four primary school students, both the appearance and the diversity of development,
Chen Long is a model for all-round development of freshmen in the Mainland. Years of ups and downs
The TV screen in 2004 belongs to Chen Long. The TV series "Ruyi Langjun County Order", "Tathagata's Palm", "Lotus Out of the Water", "Four Weddings and a Funeral" and "Lang Langpei" starring him will be broadcast on CCTV and local TV stations in prime time. This image-changing niche is expected to become the most exposed male artist in the mainland.
Wen Xi, the cotyledon of the prefect who finally won the beauty and chivalry in You Wei Zhi Fu, Ou who strayed into the magic road and cultivated into supreme martial arts in Four Weddings and a Funeral, Geng Ping, a passionate swimming coach in Out of the Water Lotus, and the cool and handsome armed police who entangled in the four corners of love in Four Weddings and a Funeral. Every unique character is equipped with a strong team of speaking parts and an excellent broadcast opportunity. And "The Palm of the Tathagata" made him the first mainland student nominated for the "Golden Bell Award" in Taiwan TV this year.
But Chen Long said that he knew very well that he had worked hard in this circle for many years. "From 1997, China's first idol drama" Vacuum Love Record "began. I used to work in the public relations department of a food company in Shanghai. Seeing the news of the open recruitment of actors in the newspaper, I put down my work and gave it a try. " With his handsome appearance, he soon became the hero of the play-Chu, and he became a member of the entertainment circle unprepared.
"After the broadcast of" Vacuum Love Record ",the response was actually good. Perhaps at that time, the media was not as developed as it is now, the commercial mechanism of star-making was not as standardized as it is today, and the enthusiasm of the audience was still relatively implicit and restrained. In a word, "Vacuum Love Record" seems a little ill-timed, which didn't make me an instant hit. Then I was not particularly lucky to meet a particularly good script. Therefore, it has been ups and downs, and it is inevitable to be silent for a while. However, in fact, that time was very important to me, and it is also a good thing to think about it now. Because mentality is very important for a young actor. These years of running have made me mature. "
I have seen too many people become popular and disappear in front of me, but Chen Long has been insisting. In 200 1 year, Zhang Jizhong planned to shoot Jin Yong's Legend of the Condor Heroes, and Guo Jing's casting storm made Chen Long, who had been a smash hit in Shanghai, emerge. Although he didn't become a giant, Chen Long once again attracted people's attention. "Joining Shi Sheng Qiangyin was a turning point in my acting career." Later, several dramas prepared by gold medal producer Yang Peipei urged Chen Long to join, and the new idol drama "Lotus Out of the Water" directed by Tang Jili, which will be broadcast on CCTV, also starred Chen Long as the first hero. At the same time, on the big screen, Loretta Lee, the winner of the Golden Horse Award, co-starred in the movie Happy Mom and released several singles in music. He soon became a popular young man and his career began to develop in an all-round way. Lose weight in winter, hungry, dizzy, heatstroke.
Although glamorous in front of the stage, the image of cool and handsome is not so easy to shape. Chen Long's two behind-the-scenes stories show us his tenacity and diligence. "In fact, it is difficult to shoot. Take the two series "Tathagata's Palm" and "Out of Water Lotus" filmed this year. I played "stubby feet" in Tathagata. There's a scene where a flying kick goes far away to Csillam. The scenery in Kunming is set in the majestic Grand Canyon. Originally, the shot had been finished, but we had to take good stills, and then Csillam and I kept hanging a tightrope to keep ourselves straight. It was particularly hot and hard that day, and all my muscles were so tense and painful, but I still had to show a handsome expression on my face. I'm afraid to think about it now. Moreover, during the filming of that play, stylist Zhang Shuping said that I was too fat, and producer Ms. Yang Peipei ordered me to be as thin as possible within a week. The result is that you can only eat watermelon every day to satisfy your hunger. But there are still 18 hours of filming every day, and I almost fainted when shooting martial arts. Therefore, I can better understand the pain of girls losing weight. "
Besides being dizzy from hunger, Chen Long almost suffered from heatstroke in winter. "At that time, it was the time to shoot" Water Lotus ". Last year was the coldest time in Shanghai, almost dripping into ice, but I suffered from heatstroke frequently. Because, in order to pursue the real effect, the swimming pool rented by the crew has always maintained a high temperature of more than 30 degrees Celsius. At the coldest time, the temperature difference between indoor and outdoor reaches more than 30 degrees Celsius. After entering the museum for a few minutes, you will feel dizzy and weak, and you will feel unspeakable sultry. It is really difficult to persist for more than ten hours. " Singing and writing plays
From the first day of entering the entertainment circle, Chen Long has been glowing according to a standard idol mode. He is versatile and has a profound literary foundation. He wrote dozens of lyrics and two plays, and his singing skills were also recognized. He has sung theme songs in many works starring himself, such as Fate to Family, Star Dream Lovers and so on. Although he did not formally enter the music world, his songs such as What Did I Do, Lonely Homemaker, Wake Up from My Dream, etc. With the broadcast of TV series, it was welcomed by the audience, and the first song concert held in Guiyang in 2002 was confused by local crazy fans. This time, with the golden opportunity of "Right County Magistrate" starring Anita Yuen and Csillam landing in the prime time of TV station, Chen Long sang the ending song "Meteor Far Away" and the theme song "The Real Dragon Son of Heaven" again, and his agency invited Li Xia to sing this affectionate and romantic duet song with him for the first time.
At present, most mainland students are developing in a single line, and Shi Sheng Qiangyin revealed that he will devote himself to shaping Chen Long into a diversified idol artist. In addition to making some works suitable for Chen Long through the development of film and television, he also plans to release a record next year, and he has begun to strive to establish a cool, handsome and sexy image of Chen Long. There will be a photo album called "Long Xianxiang" next year, with advertisements and exposure, hoping to make a comprehensive breakthrough among mainland students.
