If you want to choose the artist with the most obvious degree of popularity since 2022, Wang Xinling is definitely the best candidate.
More than ten years later, the "Sweetheart Sect Leader" can still hit the hearts of countless audiences with a song "Love You".
In addition, a wave of memory killing was also opened in passing, that is, the Taiwan puppet dramas we chased together in those years.
According to the list compiled by netizens, it can be learned that Wang Xinling has two representative works and entered the top ten of the ratings.
But the actor who made the most of the works was Mingdao.
As the originator of the "overbearing president", in this list, Ming Dao will have such a sense of existence, in fact, it is not surprising at all.
But the reality is that Wang Xinling, who has fewer works on the list than him, can still become popular again after more than ten years.
Look at Mingdao, who recently appeared at the Cannes Film Festival, and was questioned by many netizens that he was "rubbing the red carpet".
In response, he also issued an indirect response, bluntly saying that he was invited to attend the film festival as a brand friend of the event sponsor.
On the day of the closing ceremony, he posted again, saying that he hoped to bring his work with him next time.
Objectively speaking, in recent years, Mingdao has not failed to take action to "turn red".
At the end of 2020, he participated in the reality show "Brother With Thorns", the nature of this show is more obvious, that is, to provide a platform for "past" male artists to become popular.
However, just a first stage made the former idol drama prince, the screen image instantly disillusioned.
Before that, Mingdao also participated in a show where "past" artists gathered - "Actors Please Take Place".
But in this reality show, the deepest impression he left on the audience is probably the self-deprecation of his own development over the years after the first performance.
"The clip I just played was my first act of the year."
"Nothing has been too successful in the past few years, and even I look down on myself a little bit."
From the audience's point of view, the artist said this kind of thing, as if he was selling misery.
But if you relate to Mingdao's personal experience, you must admit that he really has some "misery" to sell.
First, the years of "debt repayment" are endless, and my brother and his wife and children go to Huangquan
At the end of "Actors Please Take Place", a tragic thing happened in Mingdao's home.
In January 2020, according to the police scene restoration, Mingdao's brother took his wife and children to the mountain to live.
It is reported that Mingdao's brother sent a message to a friend before he died, saying that he owed tens of millions of dollars in debt and did not want to live for a long time.
Therefore, as soon as this matter was exposed, many netizens began to question Mingdao:
You're a star who makes so much money, why don't you help your brother pay off his debts?
What's more, he directly blamed his brother's death on Ming Dao's head.
But the truth is that Ming Dao not only helped his brother pay off his debts, but also paid off his debts for a long time before, to the point that he did not know the source of the debts at all.
The consistent attitude of the brother's side is: the younger brother will not ignore me, he will help me pay it back.
He drove a famous car and carried a famous bag, but borrowed money everywhere in the name of Mingdao, and even mortgaged the family's household registration book and Mingdao's driver's license.
In 2013, at the new drama conference, some creditors pretended to be fans to collect debts from Mingdao on the spot, and the scene was quite embarrassing.
Mingdao also publicly responded to this topic for the first time, admitting:
The brother thing is like a time bomb.
In 2016, my brother owed tens of millions of dollars in debt, and the creditor still ran to Mingdao to ask for money.
At this point, Mingdao begins to reflect on himself, realizing that his gambling brother is a bottomless pit, and he has been saving money to make up for the hole.
"Even relatives must be responsible for their own lives", after discussing with his family, Mingdao decided not to continue to make up holes endlessly.
Who knew that a few years later, my brother would end the life of the family in such a tragic way.
In fact, looking at the early Hong Kong and Taiwan entertainment circles, there are not a few artists who debuted to pay off debts, and Ming Dao is also the same.
Before his brother fell addicted to gambling, his father also had a debt, and in order to help the family share the debt, Ming Dao decided to develop in the show business circle.
At the age of 22, he took over the show "Adventure King" that no one dared to take, which was not so much an adventure as a game of life.
Like challenging various extreme projects in New Zealand;
Go deep into the dangerous jungle of Thailand where cobras are hidden, and MingDao is still scratching;
Get in touch with the tribesmen who live in thatched huts and play with mud;
In Alaska, I was almost overwhelmed by three tons of ice.
After the host circle broke through, he began to receive some invitations to play.
Among them, the most representative work is undoubtedly 2005's "The Prince Becomes a Frog".
"After Shan Junhao, there is no domineering president, and the others can only be regarded as department managers."
But the truth is that Ming Dao is not a "domineering president" at all.
He grew up in the wet market, helped his mother sell dried fish every holiday, and won the title of "Little Prince of Dried Fish".
Even after he became famous, he would still wear a foot-dragger and go to the market with his mother to sell sweet potatoes.
But fame is one thing, he has just paid off his father's debt on the front foot, and his brother on the back foot has brought a bottomless gambling debt.
In this regard, Mingdao once admitted that he was very insecure and needed to keep saving money.
And such a situation is difficult not to affect his choices on the path of life.
Second, why did the originator of the "domineering president" become "paste"? There are traces to everything
Over the years, the discussion about how Ming Dao became "pasty" has never stopped.
In addition to the general environment of the decline of the Taiwan puppet, the reasons for Mingdao's body can also be summarized in a small way.
First of all, Ming Dao's vision of picking scripts is indeed average, and he has been rolling around in traditional Taiwan puppet dramas for quite a few years.
"Love Trolls", "Star Apple Paradise", "Angel Lover", etc., one after another.
To say that his acting skills are not good, it will not be;
To say that he didn't work hard, it wasn't.
In order to play the role of the overlord, he carefully observed the behavior of the president in reality, and also created a small detail of touching the cuff to make the role look real and three-dimensional.
In order to perform the injured scene, he slammed into the wall over and over again in pursuit of a better performance effect.
In addition, idol dramas are not unable to produce good actors, and Qiu Ze and Ke Jiahui, who have become popular in the past two years, also became famous for acting in idol dramas that year.
As far as Ming Dao is concerned, he who is not from a science class has also tried to transform.
In 2008, he participated in a mainland Republic of China drama "Dream Paradise", which was a small breakthrough, but the splash was not large.
Then, Mingdao quickly returned to the idol drama runway and took over idol dramas such as "Smile in My Heart" and "Luck Must Be Strong".
During this period, Ruan Jingtian, who has the title of "XiaomingDao", became popular overnight with the TV series "Destined I Love You".
At this time, although Ming Dao continued to take over the drama, there were no more phenomenal works.
However, looking at the rhythm and direction of his acting path, it is obvious that he is affected by the "money", and the degree is not shallow.
Since 2010, Mingdao has gradually shifted its focus to the mainland and has been guided by "market rules" for a long time.
For example, when Yu Zheng's drama was at its peak, he participated in the TV series "The King's Woman" and "Tang Palace Beauty in the World", and the degree of transformation of history in these two dramas can be described as exaggerated to the extreme.
When the trend of artists turning producers became popular, he also quickly joined in, launching romance idol dramas such as "Angel's Happiness" and "If I Love You".
Then there is the star love variety show, and there are also traces of him.
It gives the impression that he was involved in everything, but he didn't make a name for himself.
Not only that, in the mingdao that is popular in the puppet drama, the costume drama shape is obviously contrary.
Among them, his gradually blessed face and figure are also one of the influencing factors.
Of course, the most important reason is his acting skills.
Think about Zhao Youting, who has always been ridiculed for his appearance, and can also explode because of his "plastic surgery-like acting skills".
When participating in "Actors Please Take Place" before, many netizens pointed out that Mingdao's performance often gave people the feeling of too much force and not enough relaxation.
The male protagonist of the idol drama is more important than infecting the audience.
Judging from the way they are performed, they are extravagant.
In the movie "Kidnapper", Ming Dao also brought the previous performance methods into the big screen, and how serious the violation was, there is no need to talk about it.
For actors, as they get older, the transformation becomes more and more difficult.
Coupled with the changes in the internal entertainment environment, the competitive advantage of Hong Kong and Taiwan artists has not been as good as before.
The mingdao became "paste", which was obviously expected.
However, what really shattered the Mingdao filter was that in the past two years, the news related to him has generally been relatively negative.
Third, the "explosion" event breaks the filter, and the idol is no longer an idol?
At the beginning of the year, a video of Mingdao exploding at the scene was exposed on the Internet.
Judging from the online video, because the small actors on the scene did not cooperate with the shooting, MingDao first exploded his foul mouth at the other party, and then directly walked away in blackface.
When Ming Dao lost her temper, Huang Yi, the artist who filmed together, looked at each other with embarrassment, and after a moment of stunnedness, she bowed her head and patiently communicated with the girl.
After the fermentation of things, some netizens complained that small actors are too difficult to teach, and some netizens said that the Mingdao shelf is too big and the patience is poor.
At the beginning, the netizens who held the first view still accounted for the majority.
Until a short time later, another video flowed out, this time, Ming Dao was directly scolding Huang Yi, and the words were quite ugly.
At this time, the direction of public opinion was gradually reversed, and the netizens who had previously supported Mingdao were dissuaded by his temper and conversation.
Although the agent later came out to explain, saying that the artist was physically weak during the shooting, and mingdao and Huang Yi had a good personal relationship.
But most netizens obviously did not buy it, and some people even began to analyze it, wondering why Mingdao's personality had become like this.
Here in Ming Dao, there is one thing that cannot be ignored at all, that is, his cooperation with Zhang Ting.
Fourth, with the intersection of sensitive artists, can Mingdao "retreat from the whole body"?
Since 2019, Mingdao has often attended brand activities with Zhang Ting, and the two are also very intimate when they are in the same frame.
At that time, Mingdao also caused a wave of controversy because of his intimate interactions with female employees during the sweeping of the building, such as smelling the neck, smelling the hair, and applying hand cream.
During the cooperation, Zhang Ting also publicly stated that one floor of the building she bought in the Huangpu River was Mingdao.
In October 2020, Mingdao established its own skincare brand.
It is reported that the brand and Zhang Ting's previous accident of "TST" belong to a batch of foundry production, and the sales model is also highly similar.
Leaving aside the cases that have been involved now, the TST series at the time of the scenery can be described as a lot of money.
For "past" artists such as Mingdao, investing in business is often much faster than making money from filming.
However, at the beginning of the year, TST was investigated for suspected chuanxiao, in addition to Xu Zheng Tao Hong and his wife, the artists who have the most intersection with Zhang Ting are definitely indispensable to Ming Dao.
At the time of the accident, Ming Dao was in Taiwan.
Zhu Vangang, a former member of the "183club" group, mentioned in an interview that MingDao was implicated by Zhang Ting's turmoil, and stressed that if he entered the investigation stage, perhaps travel would be restricted.
In this regard, Ming Daofang directly sent a lawyer letter denying everything, and also said that at present, Ming Dao's performing arts and commercial performances are operating normally.
In fact, from the bright point of view, the TST incident did not involve Mingdao.
However, just recently, a company under Lin Ruiyang's name held a court hearing on a contract dispute case.
According to industrial and commercial information, the company's shares, Mingdao (real name Lin Chaozhang) accounted for 10%, mingdao's agent Li Shixiang owned 15%.
This time, the statement also came in a very timely manner, and the content was roughly that the lawsuit was a dispute over the sale contract and a lawsuit arising from normal commercial trade activities.
It is worth mentioning that since the accident of the Zhang Ting brand, except for the Cannes Film Festival, Mingdao has rarely participated in public activities.
Previously, he had been in Taiwan Province and had been photographed pushing his wheelchair-bound mother out for a walk.
According to the agent, because the health of the two elderly people in the family is not very good, Mingdao pushed off his previous job and stayed at home to take care of his parents.
No matter how much speculation there is in the outside world, there are those who say that they cannot "withdraw from the Zhang Ting incident", and there are also those who say that they can no longer continue to develop in internal entertainment...
All this cannot be conclusively decided for the time being.
However, Mingdao's filial piety to his parents and the amount of dedication to his family have never been in doubt.
In fact, throughout Mingdao's acting career, the direction of many idol artists is similar.
After the explosion of popularity, there are frequent plays, and even the situation of rolling drama, the star himself and the team lack consideration of the script, and also lack further polishing of acting skills.
As a result, it has led to the difficult transformation of artists and the repeated failures to challenge the big screen.
After following the market for a lap after lap, it was found that the popularity gradually declined, and even the mentality would be affected.
If it is cold and unguarded and related to some sensitive events, it is really a step by step to narrow the road, or even a corner.
