"Up the Spring Mountain", the most popular show of the Spring Festival Gala, has been fermenting for several days. Many netizens have focused on whether the "hero" Bai Jingting is really scheming, and even created the "Spring Mountain School", which has overwhelmed the masses.
Amid the dazzling revelations, Wei Chen, the other protagonist in the incident, was once again hotly discussed by the audience because of his beautiful voice.
Netizens shouted: "Wei Chen is so bold, can he record a separate version of "Shangchunshan"?"
Many fans immediately came out to support, and bluntly said:
"That was the third runner-up of "Fast Boy" that year, and he is a singer , and he is also the man I have voted for with money..."
Indeed, if the time is returned to 17 years ago, the 19-year-old Wei Chen was indeed at his peak when he debuted - not only was he the third runner-up in "Fast Man", he also won the Tianyu Award With great support, your acting career is bright.
But soon, at the peak of his career, Wei Chen was almost blocked because of a photo, which caused his career to go from high to low.
But many years later, fortunately, he never gave up. Instead, he kept a low profile and worked hard, gradually changing his reputation completely. Now he has become famous again because of the program "Up Spring Mountain".
1. The "Fast Boy" who was at the peak of his career
Except for this time's "Shangchunshan", Wei Chen's recent popularity is actually not low.
He was just praised by netizens for his role as Xu Yizhou in the movie "The Three Brigades": his acting skills have improved.
At the same time, the "tough guy" image played by Wei Chen in previous works such as "Railway Heroes" and "Volunteer Army" is also deeply rooted in the hearts of the people - there is no doubt that he has successfully transformed into a qualified actor after starting out as a singer.
All this took him nearly ten years, during which he also experienced highs, lows, and dangers.
Wei Chen was born in a worker's family in Lanzhou, Gansu Province in 1986. But because his mother was born with a good voice, she worked in an art troupe when she was young and also starred as Xiao Tiemei in "The Story of the Red Lantern".
Under her influence, Wei Chen also had a special liking for literature and art when he was a child, and he was very savvy and talented.
When he was in junior high school, his mother bought him a guitar. He quickly learned to play it decently, and thus became the backbone of the class in literature and art.
In high school, Wei Chen's academic performance was not particularly satisfactory, so when he was a sophomore in high school, he took the initiative to tell his parents that he wanted to be an art student and study music.
This proposal quickly won the support of his parents. They also used their savings to buy their son a piano, and invited teachers from Northwest Normal University to teach him music knowledge.
In 2003, 17-year-old Wei Chen participated in the Lanzhou Bel Canto Competition and achieved first place.
At the end of the same year, he went to Sichuan Conservatory of Music for intensive study.
The following year, before Wei Chen took the college entrance examination, his mother took him to the Central Conservatory of Music to study "Western pronunciation".
After that, he successfully passed the test and entered the popular song and dance department of "Sichuan Music" to study.
And the "super girl" senior sisters such as Li Yuchun and He Jie who shocked the whole country soon appeared in the school, which also made Wei Chen ready to make a move.
In fact, before participating in the "Fast Man" competition, he also won the second prize of Henan Province in the CCTV Youth Song Competition, the Asian Newcomer Award at the Asian Music and Film Festival, and other relatively heavyweight trophies.
In 2006, Wei Chen confidently participated in the "My Style, My Show" competition, but he did not have the good luck of Wang Xiaokun, Yu Siyuan, Qi Wei and others in the same year, and was eliminated in the first round.
The next year, he was unwilling to give up and began to compete in the "Fast Man" competition again. However, with the previous failure experience, Wei Chen only had the mentality to enter the top 50 in the professional division this time.
Unexpectedly, he suddenly emerged in the competition and his results were always among the best.
However, it is estimated that many viewers have forgotten that Wei Chen's road to fame was not as smooth as imagined, because he was questioned due to serious out-of-tune during the competition.
Another time, when he went to canvass for votes offline, he was assigned to Zhang Jie's hometown of Chengdu instead of his own hometown of Lanzhou. Many fans couldn't understand it and even scolded him for "forgetting his roots"!
Not only that, during the competition, Wei Chen also encountered slanders and rumors such as "revelation of nude photos", "passionate teacher-student relationship", and "suspected plastic surgery", which caused him to fall into huge pressure.
But in the end, he successfully debuted due to his good results in the national third place of "07 Fast Boy", and then released his first single "Youth Tour".
Many fans still remember this song.
In his early years, Wei Chen followed the path of a sunny and cheerful boy, but few people knew at the time that he had established a relationship with his classmate Yu Wei in college.
2. The controversial "pseudo-single"
Yu Wei is a girl from Shandong, but has a gentle personality. The two came together because of their pursuit of music.
The woman was also a member of the first domestic girl idol group "Aido Girls", codenamed "Qingxiang Apple".
But this combination has not yet made any splash, and it will soon become blurry.
Some fans later revealed that Yu Wei was also present during the "Quick Man" competition.
Even when he won the third place, she witnessed it all the way, and even pretended to be a fan and ran on stage to give him a bouquet of flowers.
There are rumors that the agency was extremely dissatisfied with his relationship at the time and even asked the two to break up. However, Wei Chen got back together with Yu Wei after they broke up for a period of time.
After that, he also spent a long time "pseudo-single" for the sake of the effect of the show:
For example, Wei Chen made a promise to his fans that if he was single, he would sing a song "Sleeping Alone" at the concert. 》.
And it has been nearly 10 years since this song was sung.
This song is one of Wei Chen's first ep "Optimist" released in 2008. After the album was released, the sales exceeded 120,000 copies in 10 days, which also broke the 2008 record sales record.
However, this year, due to the Wenchuan earthquake, people across the country were worried about the disaster area, but he caused the anger of netizens because he posted a photo of himself.
Although Wei Chen immediately apologized after the incident, his popularity among passersby fell to the bottom.
Fortunately, Mango TV offered a helping hand and let him join the crew of "Let's Watch the Meteor Shower" to play the role of h4 member Ye Shuo. Although
's work has received polarizing responses in the future, it is undeniable that it is a real hit and ranks first in the ratings.
Wei Chen's career has gradually begun to rebound, and he has released new albums one after another and recorded many variety shows.
However, he originally thought that his acting career would slowly return to its peak, but unexpectedly another unexpected incident happened.
In 2013, Wei Chen, who had just returned from studying abroad, was pointed out by netizens that he looked like G-Dragon in many of his looks.
, perhaps under heavy pressure, personally posted a message to denounce netizens, and even used swear words, which is very different from the sunny impression he gave people in the past.
As soon as this statement came out, fans from both sides were torn to pieces.
It is precisely because of this that Wei Chen's career has fallen into an anxious stage again. Although he is still in the forefront and has many works, he seems to be one breath away from becoming a "big success".
It was also this year that Yu Wei, the sister-in-law who had been "silently hidden" behind Wei Chen for 6 years, was finally photographed by the media - the two traveled to South Korea together and their relationship was stable.
In 2014, he began to transition to the big screen again, appearing in the movie "The Year in a Hurry", playing the role of the warm man "Qiao Ran" in the drama.
Coincidentally, in the same year, the TV series version of "That Year in a Hurry" was also being filmed. Bai Jingting, who is 8 years younger than Wei Chen, made his debut with the role of "Qiao Ran".
However, neither of them could have guessed at the time:
10 years later, they would embark on different career paths due to their collaboration on "Shangchunshan" - the changes in the industry are really magical.
It was also this year that when Wei Chen was still recording "Quick Book", in order to cooperate with the promotion effect of the program, he called his first girlfriend, and it became a hot search.
What is even less known is that he founded his own clothing brand at the same stage, and fans couldn't wait to support it.
In fact, this company was opened by Wei Chen and his girlfriend Yu Wei. The woman was even a supervisor of the company, which means that the money paid by the fans went into the pocket of the real sister-in-law.
3. Smooth transformation, becoming famous in middle age
In 2015, Wei Chen established a personal studio and also started a concert tour.
He didn't work much in film and television this year, but he was photographed by the paparazzi and his girlfriend embracing each other sweetly in the love nest and cooking together.
After the matter escalated, 29-year-old Wei Chen finally admitted his relationship and said bluntly:
"Don't be curious, in fact, every normal life is the same."
Netizens who didn't know the story of his previous love along the way praised him angrily. : Responsible and dedicated!
After that, Wei Chen no longer hid his girlfriend. The following year, the two of them appeared at the airport together, very generously. When
talked about his girlfriend in an interview, he said bluntly: His criteria for choosing a spouse are "having common topics and hobbies, and the three views must be consistent."
It is indeed worth mentioning that as Wei Chen's "invisible" girlfriend for more than 10 years, Yu Wei has always kept a low profile, which is very popular.
In addition, Wei Chen's career development has also changed direction, gradually transforming from the original "traffic idol" to an all-round artist.
In addition to entering the big screen, his performance in "The Great Detective" is also unforgettable. Wei Chen in the
program is the famous "King of Memes", and he can joke and has a good brain. In fact, he has accumulated new fans - and these fans are not girlfriend fans, so they appear more stable.
Starting in 2018, Wei Chen has broadened his acting career and starred in the military drama "Sirius of the Anti-Terrorist Special Forces", the mystery drama "Antique Bureau: Appreciating Ink and Searching for Porcelain" and other works.
Especially in the later anti-war film "Eight Hundred", he interpreted the violent character of the squad leader Zhu Shengzhong, changing his image of a handsome young man in the past.
It is also worth mentioning that Wei Chen's acting skills have become more and more mature after many years of debut, and he still has no idol baggage.
For example, in the suspense drama "The Lost Child", he also interpreted the image of a man who appears to be well-behaved, but is actually a gambler who preys on the elderly.
During the period when works with different themes were frequently released or broadcast, Wei Chen married his girlfriend Yu Wei, who had been in love for many years.
The two first staged a romantic "drama" of underwater proposal in 2019, and held a warm and romantic wedding the following year.
Last year, he became a baby daddy. His life has ushered in a new stage, and his career is at a stable stage of "not at its peak, but getting more and more solid".
Then came this time. Because of his performance of "Up Spring Mountain" on the Spring Festival Gala, Wei Chen was unexpectedly evaluated by netizens as a "respectable person" and became a hot search topic together with Wei Daxun.
While everyone was attacking Bai Jingting for being scheming and grabbing the c only position, Wei Chen unexpectedly rose to the top and his popularity among the public returned to its peak.
There is no doubt that he has completed the perfect transformation many years after his debut. As long as he does not act like a monster, his acting career will be extremely smooth and his future will be bright.
