Unexpectedly, the matter of changing the name has become a "metaphysics" in the entertainment industry.
Many celebrities, because their original names are too down-to-earth, have given themselves a stage name.
And many people will also change their names many times when their careers are not very prosperous.
But some people, after changing back and forth, make the already ups and downs of the career even more silent.
1 Zheng Guolin - Zheng Ruixiao, Zheng Yilin
Now, Zheng Guolin, who has become the "royal fairy father", has found his own way of acting.
The gray-haired style makes him very noble.
"Long Moon Embers", "Sauvignon Blanc", etc., all have his figure.
But this name is the final version that he decided on after changing the name twice.
He has had a dream of acting since he was a child, and when he grew up, he applied for the Yindu Art School in Shanghai.
Although his real name is Zheng Guolin, he has always used Zheng Ruixiao as his common name.
In 1994, the TVB training class came to the mainland to recruit students.
He became one of the four people in Shanghai.
In the end, he broke through the encirclement, gave up the opportunity to apply for the play, and went to the training class.
However, due to various factors such as language barrier and living habits, he returned to Shanghai after two years in Hong Kong.
After going out for two years, he didn't learn much, so he still didn't have much experience in acting.
So much so that when he starred in "Young Hero Fang Shiyu", he once doubted whether he was suitable to be an actor.
Later, under the persuasion of Zhang Weijian in the same group, he realized that only by working can he buy a big house, so that he can have a way out.
Although he mustered up the courage to continue, he didn't have much chance.
He doesn't want to play small roles, and he doesn't want to break through inappropriate roles.
In this way, he was silent for a long time.
Later, he changed his name to Zheng Yilin.
Unexpectedly, after changing his name, he really received a good role.
In 2003, "Li Shimin" in "The Legend of Heroes of the Sui and Tang Dynasties" made him an "emperor professional".
's own aristocratic atmosphere makes the scenes with only a dozen episodes become the highlight of this show.
The limelight even overshadowed the male No. 1 Huang Haibing.
But when the show was on the air, he changed his name back to his real name Zheng Guolin.
And it continues to this day.
And after "Li Shimin", he seems to have been silent for a long time.
It wasn't until the popularity of Xianxia dramas in recent years that he appeared again.
became the "royal father" of each male and female protagonist.
2 He Shengming - He Weiqi, He Min
He Shengming, who became popular with the fourth elder brother in "Palace Lock Bead Curtain", has an extremely out-of-pocket experience.
Formerly known as He Min, he was originally an unknown boy who sang in a bar.
In 1995, at the age of 20, he was favored by Wang Wen, the "Godfather of Music", and became a member of the "China Power" group.
This group is aimed at the "Little Tigers" of the year.
Therefore, the people had high hopes for them.
And the three boys also lived up to expectations, not only participating in the 1998 Spring Festival Gala, but also participating in the first Global Chinese Singing Competition.
Won the second place.
Seeing that there was about to be a trend of the Little Tigers, He Min (He Shengming) chose to quit.
And the reasons are also striking.
It turned out that he met a female entrepreneur older than him in 1997.
After a period of emotional relationship, he followed the other party's firm advice and chose to fly solo.
And with the help of his girlfriend, he released his first album after flying solo.
The song "Why is the taste of love so strange" also won the "Top Ten Golden Melody Awards".
And he also changed his name to "He Weiqi".
But the good times didn't last long, and the two officially broke up after five years of love.
After the breakup, he became a North Drifter.
also regretted flying solo at that time.
Later, at the suggestion of a friend, he changed his name to "He Shengming".
It means that the vitality is tenacious.
After that, he left the music industry and went behind the scenes.
In 2004, he went to Nortel to study acting.
and starred in the first TV series "Coconut Grove Beach Avenue East" in the same year.
In 2008, he met the later Bole in the crew of "Rose Jianghu".
At that time, the other party was still a screenwriter who was not very famous.
Later, the two collaborated with Feng Shaofeng on 7 TV series in a row.
But the response was mediocre.
So much so that there is no expectation for "Palace".
But I didn't expect this drama to reach the level of popularity like a dark horse.
Because of this, He Shengming once again ushered in popularity.
The follow-up "Beauty Scheming" and "Palace Bead Curtain Jade" allowed him to stabilize his career as an actor.
After that, in order to transform, he left Bole.
Silence fell into silence again.
It wasn't until the explosion of "Liuli" that He Shengming, who played Cheng Yi's father, was seen by the audience again.
Now, he has made guest appearances in major film and television dramas, although he is no longer popular, he is also happy.
3 Li Dongxue – Li Yuan
Li Dongxue, it seems that in addition to the representative role of "King of the Fruits", there is no other role that can be familiar to the audience.
Formerly known as Li Yuan, he has experienced two undergraduate study lives.
For the first time, I was admitted to a university in Zhengzhou, majoring in computer science.
During his time at school, he was called the school grass by his classmates because of his handsome appearance.
Later, he also became a model for a bridal dress salon and filmed some commercials.
After graduating, he originally planned to study business abroad, but with experience in advertising shooting, he decided to try Nortel without telling his parents.
Unexpectedly, Li Yuan, who is already 21 years old, was really admitted.
As the oldest student in the class, he practiced hard every day.
Although it's not the best, it's always the best to be chosen as the male lead by the teacher every time.
When I was about to graduate, I received an advertisement.
The object of cooperation is "Star Girl" Huang Shengyi.
After graduating, he received the big production of "Daqin Straight Road".
starred with Yang Mi, Kou Shixun and others.
Although he put a lot of effort into it, the result was very disappointing for him.
Because this drama failed to get the opportunity to be broadcast in the mainland.
In the same year, he starred in Yang Dalang in "Young Yang Jiajiang".
's highly recognized acting skills made the name Li Yuan (Li Dongxue) finally known to the audience.
Later, he starred in dramas such as "Zhao's Orphan" and "Xinhai Revolution".
During this period, at the suggestion of others, the name was changed to Li Dongxue.
Sure enough, in 2010, I met the role of "King Guojun".
In fact, before this, Chen Jianbin recommended Zhang Xiaolong to the director, wanting him to play the role of "King of Guojun".
At the same time, the author of the original book also recommended Zhou Yumin.
But Zheng Xiaolong only used the two of them as alternatives.
It wasn't until he met Li Dongxue that the king of the fruit groups in his heart had a figure.
After trying a scene of drinking poisonous wine, Director Zheng directly designated Li Dongxue as the "King of Guojun".
Later, the explosion of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" also made him the talked-about "White Moonlight".
But after that, he was nowhere to be seen.
It turned out that he himself turned down all the invitations to costume romance dramas.
Turned himself into a hot-blooded tough guy.
Although his fame is no longer as loud as that of "King of Fruits", it can be regarded as following his own heart.
5 Zhao Yingzi - Zhao Han Yingzi, Zhao Yingjuan
In the program of "Infinite Transcendence Class", Zhao Yingzi's self-introduction was quite explosive.
"I'm 'Di Mi Mengza' Zhao Yingzi."
She said that this was a title given to her by netizens, and she felt good about herself and accepted it.
But anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is not a title of praise.
Even the mentors Wu Zhenyu, Hui Yinghong and others were embarrassed for her at the scene.
"Don't you think it's borrowing someone else's light?"
"Don't you think it's a derogatory connotation?"
After being denied by her mentor, Zhao Yingzi herself smiled slightly awkwardly.
Today, her words and deeds reveal the feeling of "having spent enough time in entertainment".
The state of going crazy anytime and anywhere is like two people like "Lin Duomei" 12 years ago.
Zhao Yingzi in 2005 was still called Zhao Yingjuan at that time.
With his pure appearance, he won the eighth place in the competition.
Later, after attending the Chinese opera, she felt that the names of her classmates Qiao Xin, Qin Junjie and others were more foreign than her own.
Therefore, she took her parents' surname and changed her name to "Zhao Han Yingzi".
The two dramas "Because Love Is Beautiful" and "Because Love Has a Miracle" have made her an actress on Mango Channel second only to Chen Qiaoen and Zhao Liying.
Subsequently, he also played "Cheng Ying" in "The New Condor Heroes".
's dignified demeanor and handsome appearance made her the title of "the most beautiful Cheng Ying".
But then the development has stagnated.
There are even many netizens who mistake her for "Japanese" because of her name.
After being questioned for a long time, there was a scene of falling on the red carpet.
But most people think that she deliberately designed a "fake fall" in order to attract attention.
In 2018, she made the decision to change her name.
Officially renamed "Zhao Yingzi".
And at the launch ceremony of "Chang Annuo", the news was officially announced.
But things didn't go her way.
Many netizens feel that the previous name is more recognizable.
As a result, she still did not usher in her own popularity.
Actually, there is nothing wrong with her acting skills, after all, she is the heroine who has participated in a big hit drama.
But unfortunately, the heart that wants to be red too much makes her go in the opposite direction step by step.
And even more and more mushy.
epilogue
In fact, there is nothing wrong with the name change.
Some people are a little shy about the attributes of their names.
is like Zhang Jiayi, who changed his name to Zhang Jiayi in 2020.
According to netizens, he who has suffered from ankylosing spondylitis all the year round, should have changed his name because he wanted to change his health status.
Such a reason is also reasonable.
Hong Kong star Ouyang Zhenhua, whose real name is Ouyang Yaoquan.
After running tricks all year round, he followed the advice of others and changed his name to "Zhenhua".
It means to shock people like Andy Lau and Huang Rihua.
In fact, most of the name changes are just psychological hints.
Whether you can change your star path or not doesn't have much to do with your name.
After all, the real name given by the parents already contains all the blessings of the family.
If you want to stand in the entertainment industry for a long time, only improving your acting skills and maintaining good character is fundamental.
So, have you ever heard of some interesting names?
