preface
At the beginning, the hit of "Shaolin Temple" can be described as triggering a movie-watching frenzy, and many teenagers have gone to Shaolin to learn martial arts in order to "get ahead".
But there are not many star actors who came out of Shaolin, and each of them can be described as well-known to the audience.
So today, let's take a look at these actors from Shaolin and see what their development is in the entertainment industry?
6. Chen Can
For Chen Can, a film and television actor born in Shaolin, more netizens may have the impression of him as an "Internet celebrity".
In fact, Chen Can really became known earlier because of his set of Shaolin Kung Fu photos, and some of the stunts he displayed at that time were even more breathtaking.
In fact, before Chen Can embarked on the "Shaolin Temple", he had already learned a lot of "family martial arts" from his father.
After learning martial arts in the "Shaolin Temple" for 4 years, Chen Can won many audiences, which can be said to be highly noticed, and won 3 golds and 1 silver at the original Hong Kong International Wushu Festival.
However, after staying in Shaolin for 4 years, Chen Can went down the mountain and began to drift north, but not all "Shaolin disciples" can meet opportunities to make themselves popular after entering the entertainment industry.
Although Chen Can has participated in many film and television works, most of these works are "dragon sets" without lines.
may feel that he has never had a chance to perform in the eyes of others, so Chen Can also independently created some movie scripts.
Like "Sunrise", "Dragon Fight Tiger Fight", "Justice Youth" and so on, but these works are all unsurprisingly in the end and have no heat.
It can be said that if it were not for Chen Can's explosion of "Shaolin stunts" photos in 2016, it is estimated that many people still do not know this "Shaolin King Kong" until now.
It can only be said that compared to some other Shaolin disciples who have entered the circle, Chen Can's acting career can be described as extremely "bleak"!
5. Shi Xingyu
Many people are familiar with Shi Xingyu, the actor, because he can be called a "familiar face" in many film and television works over the years, and his role as "coolie" in "Kung Fu" is very impressive.
And the reason why Shi Xingyu entered the "Shaolin Temple" and began to learn martial arts was because of a wish after watching "Shaolin Temple" when he was a child.
At that time, the family was actually very opposed to Shi Xingyu making this decision, and Shi Xingyu, who was not dead, first studied at the martial arts school at the foot of Shaolin Temple for half a year, and then officially went up the mountain and began to become a "Shaolin Temple disciple".
Later, the reason why Shi Xingyu entered the film and television industry was also because of Stephen Chow, and Shi Xingyu was favored by Stephen Chow at the casting scene of "Kung Fu".
And after that, he continued to pay attention to him in the film to give more shots, so that the classic "coolie" appeared.
Then with his solid martial arts ability, Shi Xingyu began to become more and more popular, and he also participated in various classic action blockbusters, such as Shi Xingyu's fight scenes in "The Fuse" made many people feel very outstanding.
After that, he collaborated with Andy Lau, Wu Jing and others on "New Shaolin Temple", as a "Shaolin disciple", it is of great significance to be able to star in such works.
Then Shi Xingyu starred in works such as "Ip Man" and "Outsmart Tiger Mountain", and it can be said that he is now a "star" recognized by the audience.
4, Wang Baoqiang
Wang Baoqiang, as one of the most popular actors in recent years, I believe that many audiences will not feel strange to him at all, and Wang Baoqiang is also an actor from the "Shaolin Temple".
When Wang Baoqiang was very young, he already liked "movies", and at that time he wanted to become a "movie actor", and then Wang Baoqiang learned that going to "Shaolin" had the opportunity to really enter the circle.
Then he begged his father to let him go to Shaolin Temple to learn martial arts, and Wang Baoqiang went for a full 6 years, but these years in Shaolin Temple also made Wang Baoqiang understand that he could not debut only in Shaolin.
Then he left Shaolin to start the road of the North Drift group performance, in those years because Wang Baoqiang could endure hardships and good skills, so he was also more popular in the group performance, but he never really became popular at that time.
Until 2002, Wang Baoqiang began to be gradually seen, and then with works such as "Blind Well" and "No Thief in the World", Wang Baoqiang's fame began to become higher and higher and loved by the audience.
And in 2006, a TV series "Soldier Assault" made Wang Baoqiang start to become really popular and famous and quickly highlighted, but at that time, most of him starred in this "military image"!
It was not until the appearance of a "Hello Tree" that Wang Baoqiang's acting skills began to be truly seen.
And changed his humble image earlier, with works such as "One Man's Martial Arts" and "Detective Chinatown" over the years, Wang Baoqiang has become one of the most popular actors in the film and television industry.
However, in 2016, the divorce of Wang Baoqiang and his wife Ma Rong was an event that made a fuss and almost became everyone's attention, and after this incident, Wang Baoqiang can be said to have been silent for a while.
Although Wang Baoqiang has starred in a lot less works in the past two years, he is still one of the actors with the most box office appeal!
3. Shi Xiaosong
For Shi Xiaosong, the star may not be familiar to many people, in fact, he is still a child star of the 00s, and his real name at the beginning was Li Siyao, which can be said to be a very feminine name.
When Li Siyao was only 2 years old, he was sent by his father to learn martial arts in the martial arts hall, and after seeing that his son's martial arts talent was getting better and better, his father sent Li Siyao to the "Shaolin Temple" to learn martial arts systematically.
Subsequently, Li Siyao was officially the first disciple of Shi Yongxin, and was given the legal name "Shi Xiaosong" to begin the life of an official Shaolin disciple.
However, in fact, Shi Xiaosong won two awards at the Hong Kong International Martial Arts Festival a year before entering the Shaolin Temple, and he was already loved by countless audiences at that time.
After entering "Shaolin", Shi Xiaosong did not practice martial arts steadily, but began to appear in various variety shows and film and television dramas, and in those years, he participated in variety shows such as "Unstoppable" and "Challenge the Women's Gang".
At the same time, he has also been invited to star in many film and television works, such as "Smart Little Empty Sky", "Shaolin Kid Fang Shiyu" and so on, but many of these works are not really popular.
And many people first know Shi Xiaosong as an actor, or because of the work "Dream of Red Mansions", and Shi Xiaosong played the role of "Jia Baoyu" in it.
Looking at the development of Shi Xiaosong in the entertainment industry today, many people think that he can be said to be "promising in the future", so let's look forward to Shi Xiaosong bringing more good works in the future!
2, Jiang Luxia
Jiang Luxia, the actress, has also been extremely popular in recent years, especially in various "military-themed" works, the image of "female soldier" played by Jiang Luxia can be described as deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
And many audiences first knew Jiang Luxia because of "Operation Red Sea", her performance in this work is very amazing, and even because of this work, she won the Hundred Flowers Best Supporting Actress Award.
In fact, Jiang Luxia was able to have such a martial arts foundation today because she began to practice martial arts when she was 6 years old, and in 1998, at the age of 12, she also climbed the Shaolin Temple, and she also became Shi Xiaolong's junior sister.
Later, in 2003, Jiang Luxia was also admitted to Beijing Sport University, and at the age of 18, she was already completely famous, not only becoming a national Shaolin boxing martial arts champion, but also a national martial arts athlete.
And after that, she was also invited to become the head coach of CCTV's "Practical Women's Self-Defense Column", and in 2008, Jiang Luxia was officially invited to appear in works.
Subsequently, she began to become more and more active in the film and television industry, and has starred in works such as "Su Beggar", "Operation Red Sea" and "Journey".
At the same time, in 2021, she was also invited to appear on the stage of "Sister Lang 2", and Jiang Luxia's hearty character and heroic temperament have made her gain countless fans and are loved by people.
It can be said that as a "female disciple" who rarely came from the Shaolin Temple and entered the circle, Jiang Luxia's achievements are also very good!
1. Shi Xiaolong
For Shi Xiaolong, a "kung fu child star" that many people have seen since he was a child, it is estimated that many people have already engraved his appearance in their minds, and he is also a "Shaolin disciple" of the Eight Classics.
When Shi Xiaolong first learned to walk, he was often brought to Shaolin by his father, and then he entered Shaolin at the age of 2 and became a disciple of Shi Yongxin.
Don't look at Shi Xiaolong's age at that time, but because he started early, his generation was also quite high, and many people who started later had to call him "little senior brother".
Later, in 1991, Shi Xiaolong also traveled with the Shaolin Temple delegation, which can be said to be absent from many other disciples.
In 1993, Shi Xiaolong was signed by Changhong Film and Television Company, and he starred in the film "Laughing Forest Kid" this year.
It can be said that this film directly made Shi Xiaolong famous in one fell swoop, and almost countless audiences fell in love with this "little cute baby" in those years.
Later, he collaborated with Wu Mengda and Hao Zhaowen in "Laughing Lin Kid 2 New Oolong Courtyard", which can be said that Shi Xiaolong was definitely one of the most successful "child stars" in those years.
After that, he also played the role of "Zhan Zhao" in "Young Bao Qingtian", and his "Zhan Zhao" can also be said to be one of the most classic "Zhan Zhao" in film history.
However, later, with the decline of kung fu films, Shi Xiaolong's fame also continued to decline, although he still starred in many works, but obviously the popularity and popularity were not as high as they once were.
And in recent years, Shi Xiaolong has also begun to transform into a director, and "Truant Detective" directed by him will be released in 2022.
Although Shi Xiaolong's skills are still so pleasing to the eye, the plot and other aspects still do not meet the standards, and I only hope that Shi Xiaolong can become popular again for better and better.
epilogue
The above are all stars from Shaolin, but some of them are popular and some are slowly lonely.
Especially in today's era of "martial arts films" becoming more and more collapsed, good skills have no longer attracted the attention of the film and television industry, and it can only be said that this is really "sad".
