Do you always think that the life of stars is like the stars in the sky, bright and out of reach? But you know, there are times when stars want to land. Some stars, with the passage of time and the ups and downs of fame, are unexpectedly willing to take off their halo and live an ordinary life like us.
Set up stalls to sell fish and go back to the countryside to farm, these seemingly incompatible life scenes actually happened to several actors we are familiar with. So, who are these stars who have the courage to "change places"?
Xie Ning
Do you still remember Zhu Bajie who was fascinated at the sight of Chang'e in Baolian Lantern? Actor Xie Ning's interpretation makes this role a classic in the hearts of the audience. But as time flies, the situation in the entertainment industry is changing, and the familiar faces on the screen have gradually faded out of public view.
At that time, Xie Ning was also an active figure on the screen, and various roles were readily available. Although he did not become a big hit, he also left a lot of performances that impressed the audience. However, with the upgrading of the entertainment industry, Xie Ning's drama is getting less and less, and his life is also facing great challenges.
In order to make a living, Xie Ning took his family back to the countryside. There is no hustle and bustle of the city, no spotlight, only a simple life. He lived in a rural courtyard, where he was simply furnished and joked with his wife, as if he had found another peace of life.
But life needs to go on, and Shainin began to try various ways to make ends meet. He started selling fruit, and whenever customers came, he always greeted him with a smile and warmly recommended it.
Sometimes when he meets fans, he will generously give some cherries to taste. His booth is always surrounded by people, not only because his fruit is fresh, but also because of his sincerity and enthusiasm.
Besides selling fruit, Xie Ning has tried a variety of other jobs. He has sold meat, watermelons and even a pedicure. In his opinion, as long as he can be self-reliant and not dependent on others, that is a kind of success.
Po
When the melody of "red flowers blooming in red" reverberated over the stage, the name Ah Bao started a prairie fire and quickly became popular all over the country. As if overnight, he changed from a shepherd boy to a star in the spotlight.
At that time, Po was in the limelight, and invitations poured in like snowflakes. His price is also rising, once on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, has become a national people's Eve dinner "feast". His success story seems to tell us: as long as you have a dream, as long as you are willing to work hard, you will be able to realize your wish.
However, the situation in the entertainment industry is unpredictable, and Po's fame comes and goes quickly. Just as he was enjoying the joy of success, a sudden "identity storm" pushed him to the forefront of the storm.
Po's true identity was revealed. It turned out that he was not the simple shepherd, but a packaged singer. The news came as a bolt from the blue and made countless fans feel disappointed and angry.
In the face of public doubts and accusations, Po chose to stand up and admit his mistakes. He knows that lies will eventually be exposed one day, and he must be responsible for his actions. However, this move did not restore his image, but let his star path completely dimmed.
When Po once again appeared in the public eye, he was already in the webcast room. The once-famous singer has now become an ordinary Internet celebrity who attracts attention by grandstanding. Watching him perform hard in front of the camera with paint all over his face and wearing nondescript clothes, it makes people feel sad.
Li Jiaming
In the performing arts, there is such a man who once had boundless scenery on the screen and did not lose ground in the competition with the old actors. He is Li Jiaming, a powerful person whose name may not be very loud, but his acting skills are absolutely excellent.
Back then, in "rape Flowers" and "Anti-Japanese Warriors", his performance was bright in front of people's eyes, as if he saw the hope of the rise of a new star. Then, the heavy attack of "Red Sword" and "Ultimate Mission" made the audience praise his acting skills. At that time, he was in high spirits and had a bright future.
However, the road of show business is not easy. Just when everyone thought he would advance by leaps and bounds, Li Jiaming disappeared quietly. When he appeared in the public eye again, he was transformed into a fried noodle chef. Watching him lift the spoon and skillfully stir-fry the noodles, who would have thought that this was once the all-powerful actor on the screen?
His fried noodle stall is doing a good job, and the surrounding residents love to come to support him. In summer, he sells watermelons and lives a pleasant life. Although Li Jiaming no longer had the aura of the past, he seemed to enjoy it.
In fact, his life has also experienced ups and downs. At the peak of his career, he had a company under his name and lived a comfortable life. But with a series of accidents, the company was forced to dissolve and the quality of life plummeted. To make matters worse, his father's death left him deeply depressed.
During that time, Li Jiaming's life seemed to be in darkness. But fortunately, in the end, he survived and chose to start over. Starting from the fried noodle chef, he regained the dignity of life with his own hands.
Xu Haiwei
Xu Haiwei, a simple boy from the countryside, does not have a prominent background. His parents are the kind of old farmers who have been rooted in the land all their life. they raised the son with hard sweat and taught him what is tenacity and dedication.
Whenever the hustle and bustle of the entertainment industry recedes temporarily, Xu Haiwei always chooses to return to that quiet village. There were his elderly parents, the fields he knew and the early morning dew.
He would pick vegetables early in the morning, even if the dew wet his clothes. After picking a full basket, he will go to the market with fresh vegetables, which will soon be snapped up.
Xu Haiwei may not be the brightest star in the entertainment industry, but he explains in his own way what is the love of life and responsibility to the family.
He did not give up the care of his family because of the vanity of the entertainment industry, nor did he feel inferior because of his rural background. He knows very well that his parents raised him through painstaking efforts not to make him fight for fame and fortune in the entertainment industry, but to make him a responsible and responsible person.
Today, Xu Haiwei's parents live a dull and happy life, and their son is filial, which is their greatest satisfaction. Xu Haiwei also found his own balance in this process. He is not only an actor in the entertainment industry, but also a filial son around his parents.
Liu Jin
When the morning light is dim, the hustle and bustle of the morning market has not yet fully awakened, a familiar figure has been busy. He is Liu Jin, an actor who once played the role of Qiu Ya's husband. But fame is like quicksand in your hands. The more you want to hold on to it, the easier it is to slip through your fingers.
Last year's "smashing mobile phone" incident brought Liu Jin back into public view, but the popularity was fleeting and did not bring him the role he expected. In the face of the pressure of life, Liu Jin chose to return to his hometown in the countryside and start anew. Every morning, he is no longer the star in the spotlight, but the peddler selling tea eggs in the morning market.
The secret recipe for tea eggs is the ancestral treasure of Liu Jin's family. He boils it with his heart and every step is not careless. Although the income is meager, it is enough to support three meals a day.
However, the heavy pressure of life and the discussion of the outside world made Liu Jin feel tormented. Sometimes, in order to earn extra living expenses, he even has to pick up garbage.
But Liu Jin was not overwhelmed by the predicament. His tenacity and optimism infected the people around him and attracted the attention of some directors. They are willing to lend a helping hand to the actor who is in the doldrums. For Liu Jinlai, as long as there is a scene, he will be satisfied.
Cao Rong
In the countryside of Hunan, the early morning sun shines on the fields, and a middle-aged man is feeding old scalpers in the backyard. He is Hale and hearty with a smile on his face. This is Cao Rong, a former film and television star and now a pastoral shepherd.
Looking back on his days in the Hong Kong film and television industry, Cao Rong couldn't help feeling a lot of emotion. At that time, he was the powerful prince of the Dragon King in Journey to the West, and the playful Sun Monkey in the Legend of Journey to the West. Fame is in its heyday, which is comparable to that of today's popular young students.
However, the competitive pressure of the Hong Kong film and television industry makes Cao Rong feel very tired. With the advent of the cold winter of film and television, he made an amazing decision to retire from the entertainment industry and return to his hometown in Hunan to live a peaceful pastoral life.
For Cao Rong, returning to the countryside does not mean giving up everything he has. On the contrary, he found inner peace and satisfaction here. Wake up by small animals every morning, feed the old scalpers, and take to the street to chat with the villagers. Such a life made him feel extremely secure and happy.
Even if he is recognized by fans on the street, Cao Rong will not have any star airs. He will greet him happily and communicate kindly with his fans. In his view, fame is only fleeting, what really matters is the sincerity and kindness between people.
Today's Cao Rong has lost his star aura, but he still maintains that simple and unadorned quality. With his own actions, he explained what it means to "never forget the original ideals and aspirations in order to accomplish the mission." No matter where he is, no matter how his identity changes, he always sticks to his heart and belief.
Lin Wei
Lin Wei, the name has made a lot of waves in the entertainment industry. Who doesn't remember "King Ning" in "Tang Bohu Lian Qiu Xiang" or "Zeng Gengqin" in "Su Qier, the number one Wu Yuan"? Each of his roles seems to be engraved with a unique brand, which is unforgettable to the audience.
But time flies, and time flies. When the spotlight of the entertainment industry gradually dimmed, Lin Wei did not choose to continue to wander in it, but resolutely turned around and returned to his hometown in Shandong. There, he found his own piece of sky.
Lin Wei, who returned to his hometown, seemed to have awakened the "vegetable gene" and plunged into pastoral life. He enjoyed it, enjoying the joy of sowing and harvesting with soil and sunshine every day. Whenever he goes on a long trip, what he cares about most in his heart is those young green vegetables.
