【The main author of this article: Xiao Zhou】
In the wave of chasing dramas set off this year, there is a TV series that seems to be a little bleak, it is due to the costume drama "Long Shou" starring Xiao Tong, Mao Xiaohui and so on. Although it is adapted from a well-known network novel, perhaps because the age of the novel is too early, the plot is more old-fashioned, and the costume is shoddy, the actor's popularity is not enough to support, so it seems that it is not unexpected that it has not become a "hit".
However, it is worth noting that many of the supporting roles that appear in this drama are really surprising, and if you take a closer look, you will find that many "big guys" are involved, including Yan Kun (now renamed Yan Kun), who played the Shunzhi Emperor in "The Secret History of Xiaozhuang".
Yan Kun, who was born in 1983, is now 37 years old, and perhaps many people do not feel familiar with this name, but if you say the role he has played, everyone may recall this former "white moonlight" level figure.
In 2002, a well-known actors such as Tranquility and Ma Jingtao co-starred in the "Secret History of Xiaozhuang", and there are still countless fans who remember the emotional entanglement of the characters in the play. This is not only the love tragedy of Dayu'er and Dolgun, but also the poignant story of Shunzhi and Dong Efei.
Free temperament, tired of court struggles, obsessed with love, Yan Kun, who was 19 years old at the time, played this tragic but charming young emperor quite brilliantly.
And this is also his first film and television work, which shows that his starting point for entering the show business circle is relatively high. But the role and the actor are often mutual achievements, and it is precisely because of his wonderful interpretation that the young Fu Lin has been injected into the soul, even if he looks back after many years, he cannot be indifferent in the face of his infatuation and idealized personality.
In the play, Fu Lin's eyes are clear and firm, affectionate and persistent, and he stands with Shu Chang, who was not yet 15 years old at the time, and appears to be very suitable.
Not only do they fit in age with their roles, but their acting skills are also good. Whether it is the look or emotion, it is like coming out of the story, it is a real and natural character. One is warm as jade, one eyebrow is picturesque, just looking at the picture is pleasing to the eye, during the hit of this drama, they can also be called a wonderful screen couple.
Success is always the fruit of opportunity and hard work. Yan Kun came to Beijing from Qingdao, Shandong Province, at the age of 10, to study dance at the Beijing Dance Academy, and later gave up the opportunity to go straight to the Central Academy of Drama. What made netizens even more unexpected was that Yan Kun, Chen Shu and Niu Mengmeng were still classmates of that year.
When he was filming "The Secret History of Xiaozhuang", he was only a freshman, and when he was out on an outing, he was just favored by the director who came out to choose actors, so he went to audition, and since then he has also started his acting career.
Yan Kun also had to mention a masterpiece in his early years - "Yangmen Tiger General", this TV series is also a star-studded gathering, starring Su Youpeng and Cai Lin, and there are Zhao Yazhi, Dillon, Kou Zhenhai, Bao Jianfeng, Jia Nailiang, Hu Jing, Wang Yan, etc. in the supporting roles, many familiar actors.
If in the "Secret History of Xiaozhuang", Yan Kun is a newcomer, then in "Yangmen Tiger General" began a large-scale "circle of fans". Yang Qilang, who he played in "Yangmen Tiger General", is flexible and lively, even in many big coffees. He vividly interpreted Yang Qilang's youthful spirit and the arrogance of the battlefield, but because of the tragedy of love, and the tragic ending that finally accompanied the Yang family's loyalty, it became difficult for many viewers to be at peace.
It is a pity that although these two dramas are very hot, and Yan Kun's performance in them is also very wonderful, he has never been given a chance to really explode, and he has not been able to play the male number one in some popular dramas, so it is difficult for more audiences to deepen their impression of him.
Playing a supporting role may be an affirmation of the actor's acting skills, but it is also a pity.
In fact, after these two dramas, Yan Kun also received many works, such as "Flea On the Drum", "Snow Girl Scout Army", "Hanging Red", etc., but unfortunately, most of these works have a mediocre response, not for the young audience group attention, he played basically a relatively small role.
Today's Yan Kun is not completely silent, and in 2020, he can also be seen appearing in film and television drama works. In addition to the aforementioned "Long Shou", there is also the online movie "Ghost Blowing Lights of the Dragon Ridge Labyrinth", in addition to participating in the e-sports live broadcast held by a platform in April.
After experiencing young fame, and experiencing "disappearing", and then polishing in one work after another, he may have a more peaceful and firm mentality at this time.
Sometimes there is only one opportunity between fire and no fire, and Chen Shu, who is in the same class as him, has now become a well-known power actor in the show business circle, starring in many excellent works, I don't know if Yan Kun, who also has strength, will have the opportunity to return to the peak of his career in the future and let the audience see him again?
