Perhaps the 34-year-old Hu Xia did not expect that he would be one of the hottest male stars in 2024, just because he was suspected of chasing the "girl he secretly loved".
However, although the paparazzi frequently exposed the truth about their relationship, neither party seemed to have the intention to admit it.
In particular, the woman is Jin Chen, who is known as the "Neptune Queen of Domestic Entertainment" by the outside world, which caused an uproar.
What's even more outrageous is that after the news came out, the woman's fans kept running away all night, leaving many reasons. They basically complained that Hu Xia was "unworthy": "He is not popular and he is not good-looking!"
And Hu Xia's supporters obviously didn't take kindly to it, and responded directly: "He is very clean, I hope he won't get hurt..."
As time went by, the public gradually became less optimistic about this upcoming romance.
The latest news is that Jin Chen responded to the man's "crush on literature" during a live broadcast, saying bluntly: "We didn't even know each other at the time, how could there be a secret love?"
This move once again caused dissatisfaction among netizens. He bluntly said: Hu Xia's popularity is almost gone... …
But this incident also made many people pay attention to him who has been in the industry for 14 years:
Hu Xia is the overall champion of "Super Avenue of Stars". The year after his debut, he released the smash hit song "Those Years".
However, until today, he seems to have been trapped in "those years" and his presence in domestic entertainment is not high. What is the story behind this?
1. Same family background, different artistic experience
Hu Xia was born in 1990 in an intellectual family in Nanning, Guangxi. His parents and many relatives are teachers at Guangxi University.
His name is taken from his parents' respective surnames, which shows that he grew up in a loving family.
Because her father is a music teacher, Hu Xia has also been interested in music since she was a child. She started learning to play the piano at the age of 6. She attended the High School Affiliated to Western University and became obsessed with hip-hop.
Far away in Jinan, Shandong, a family with a similarly strong artistic atmosphere also gave birth to a beautiful baby girl in the same year. Her parents, who are dance teachers, named her Jin Chen.
Looking at it now, not only do the two have a deep connection, but their experiences are also very similar:
When he was 6 years old, Jin Chen began to learn dancing from his father. Four years later, with excellent results, he was admitted to the High School Affiliated to the Drama Theater.
There is no doubt that this laid a good foundation for her to become a star in the future.
After that, Jin Chen was successfully admitted to Beijing Dance University to study folk dance, and also participated in the performance at the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympic Games in 2008.
Hu Xia on the other side did not continue his studies: in his freshman year of high school, he changed his life by winning the championship in the "Top Ten Singers on Campus Competition".
After that, with the support of his parents, he dropped out of school and began to participate in singing competitions in various places to look for opportunities to enter the industry.
In 2009, while participating in a talent show held by Enlight Media, Hu Xia was spotted by producer Zhan Renxiong, who offered him an olive branch and wanted to take him to Taiwan to participate in the "Super Avenue of Stars" competition.
The 19-year-old readily accepted the offer and went to Taiwan with 2,000 yuan, and the competition lasted for seven months.
In the same year, Jin Chen won the prize in the "Taoli Cup" dance competition. At the end of the year, he and his classmates shot the cover of "Campus Chronicle" magazine, which attracted the attention of fans.
At the same stage, Hu Xia accumulated original fans because she sang many covers of songs by veteran artists during the competition. Although
is a singer born in the 90s, he likes veteran singers very much. During the competition, he sang Xiong Tianping's "Match Paradise" and Luo Dayou's "Shining Days", etc., all of which sang his own charm, so he gained attention.
Singer Wu Sikai said of him: "A soft song, but it is overwhelming, engaging, and affectionate."
In the end, Hu Xia successfully debuted with the first place, and then entered Sony Records and began to work on the first album Prepare for production.
There is no doubt that he is lucky, because the director of the first album is Xue Zhongming - he was once the royal producer of "big names" such as Zhang Xinzhe.
Hu Xia's first album "Hu Aixia" was taken from an episode of her own name.
The entire album is positioned with lyricism, and both the arrangement and the instruments focus on being clean and uncomplicated - this is very consistent with Hu Xia's characteristics.
Jin Chen's acting career was also slowly developing. In the same year, she served as the choreographer for the puppet show "Wulin Gaiden" and accumulated connections in the entertainment industry.
However, during this period, she was suddenly reported to have a heart problem, which would prevent her from dancing full-time in the future.
From then on, Jin Chen decided to change his career to become an actor.
2. "Innocent Man" meets "Female Sea King"?
In 2011, Jin Chen made his debut in the martial arts drama "Seven Weapons of Peacock Feathers", and then appeared in the dance program "Strictly Come Dancing".
Because of this show, she had an affair with Hong Kong male artist Li Nuoyi, who is 10 years older than her. The two's "Yi Nuo Qian Jin CP" was very popular, and finally won the championship of the season with the highest score.
Since then, Jin Chen has started the journey of "domestic entertainment female sea king" - because during the scandal with Li Nuoyi, there was a second-generation rich man named Liu Feilin who jumped out and claimed that he was the real wife, but she eventually denied it. .
Hu Xia also became famous overnight when she sang the theme song "Those Years" for the movie "The Girl We Chased Together" in the same year.
But in fact, this song was originally intended to be sung by a king at the time, but his agent recommended Hu Xia "without any money".
In the end, Hu Xia did become famous because of this song - his bright and clear temperament coincided with the feeling of the movie, and he became an instant hit. The song
also officially opened Hu Xia's career in film and television soundtracks. After that, he sang theme songs for movies such as "My Deskmate", "Left Ear" and "Left Ear", but the effect did not seem to be as good as "Those Years". "good.
However, Hu Xia's spotless and unique singing voice also won the reputation of "Prince of Qingquan".
During this period, Jin Chen also produced many works. He successively participated in the war drama "Chu-Han Struggle", the anti-war drama "Snow Eagle", the suspense film "Carpool" and other works, but the response was mediocre and there was no splash. .
However, because she starred in the first TV series "Tongbai Heroes" in 2013, Jin Chen was spotted by famous producer Yan Conghua and Tang Dynasty's Cai Yinong at the same time, and she chose the latter. As a result,
was qualified to star in "Wuxin Master", and later began to have a scandal with Han Dongjun. The two were even spotted sleeping hand in hand on the set.
Compared with Jin Chen's "seamless connection" with scandals, Hu Xia has been taking a "fresh" route since her debut and is known for her zero scandals.
He released consecutive albums in 2012. Although he tried many different styles, due to the characteristics of his sound, he was still labeled as "fresh and artistic".
Regarding relationships, there is only one story circulating about his crush on a girl:
It is reported that he once had a crush on a girl, and even wrote a love letter to invite her out to watch a movie. The girl happily went to the appointment, but because Hu Xia was timid, he took her with her in one breath. Four brothers went to the appointment together, which caused the girl to be scared away...
Friend Du Chun also revealed in an interview that Hu Xia asked a question when she met him for the first time:
"Brother, can you teach me how to do it?" Do you want a girlfriend?"
This may be the main reason why Hu Xia has never had any scandals since her debut 14 years ago.
Jin Chen is the complete opposite of him:
In addition to Han Dongjun, she also had an affair with Zeng Shunxi, who was 7 years younger than her, when recording "Sisters Over Flowers" in 2016. The two could kiss and hug naturally, and were extremely close.
In addition, her scandal targets include Deng Lun, Dong Youlin, Wang Dalu, Jia Nailiang, Li Moufeng and other different types of male stars, so she has gradually been dubbed by the outside world as the "Queen of Domestic Entertainment" comparable to Elva Hsiao.
3. Half red but not purple, but often dominating the search for love?
It can be said that before the scandal with Jin Chen, Hu Xia was indeed in a half-red state.
Speaking of his masterpiece, it is "Those Years" when he debuted.
As for the reason why Hu Xia is not popular, apart from her unrecognizable voice, the biggest reason may be that she has a Buddhist personality. When
was asked in an interview "whether he will work hard to get what he wants", he directly answered:
"I feel less striving for something that I really want, but I can't ask for it."
According to incomplete statistics, Hu Xia has sung nearly a hundred original soundtracks for many popular film and television dramas since her debut in 2010. She is really a very pure singer.
But in such a market environment, his acting career must be very narrow, relatively passive, and his space is very limited.
So starting in 2019, Hu Xia began to participate in the recording of variety shows, and has participated in very popular works such as "The Year of the Singer", "Time Concert", "Brother Chasing the Light", etc., before being watched by the audience again arrive.
At this time, Jin Chen was no longer the same as before.
After successively starring in works such as "The Princess Arrives" and "Secret and Great", she gradually entered the ranks of second-tier female stars.
Especially Jin Chen also became the most beautiful presence in that episode because of his participation in the popular variety show "Lang Jie", which gave him a strong sense of presence.
In the past two years, her popularity has remained high. She has participated in works such as "Amazing Girl" and "North and South", and she has always been "dominating the screen".
However, Jin Chen is often questioned due to negative news such as "King of Domestic Entertainment", suspected plastic surgery, facial paralysis, etc., and his popularity among passers-by is polarized.
As for how she and Hu Xia met, there are many theories in the market. Some people say that the two met through the introduction of friends a few years ago, while others say that the two fell in love while recording a variety show.
In short, in the middle of last year, when the man was participating in the recording of the variety show "Drama Good Song", the host Zhang Dada asked: "Do you have a crush on someone now?" He directly gave an affirmative answer and said that the other party was a female artist. .
In November of the same year, Hu Xia held a concert. Jin Chen went to listen to it and later posted a call.
When the two interacted through the "big screen", the man seemed shy and excited.
Looking at it now, it seems that it is indeed full of the sour taste of love?
Fans immediately revealed that the two were suspected of celebrating the New Year together because they were both in Shanghai at the time.
Then in early January this year, the paparazzi suddenly broke the news, saying that Hu Xia hugged a woman intimately and affectionately at the airport.
Fans immediately figured out through the girl's clothing that she was Jin Chen.
However, neither of them seemed to have the intention to respond, but Hu Xia turned into an "e person" to promote the woman's new drama.
The two then began to spend the New Year together in a generous manner, and were photographed one after another in what appeared to be an intimate "living together".
First, Hu Xia was photographed by the paparazzi bringing gifts to meet Jin Chen's parents. Later, the two were spotted walking the dog hand in hand, visiting temple fairs together, and even supporting "Flying Life 2".
However, fans of both sides do not seem to be optimistic about this pairing:
Fans of the female partner feel that the male partner is "too scheming" and is suspected of being popular with Zeng Jinchen, and even created a "secret love character";
Fans of the male partner do not like Jin Chen's love. Xiao Daren's identity, shouting "I hope he won't get hurt!"
However, it is now rumored that the two will appear together in the romance drama "Love Education Trip" in March, but it is unknown whether it is true or not.
After reading a lot, I can only say that no matter whether these two people are officially announced or have achieved success, this wave of popularity is definitely harvested.
And Hu Xia did get her second "highlight moment" since her debut because of her suspected love affair with Jin Chen.
As for the future direction of the two, as melon-eaters, we can only wait and see.
