The entertainment industry is a vanity fair. Star artists who stand on the front line may have strength and good looks, but they are more or less "good luck" and are... The 18th and 18th tier artists who have left behind the first tier are not necessarily weaklings without strength. On the contrary, there are many treasured actors among them, but they just lack a chance to prove themselves and be seen by the public.
Cao Jun is a typical example of this type of actor.
Many viewers’ impressions of Cao Jun remain in the time when he was a child. He was the smart and clever Chen Xiang, and he was also the smart and wise Chen Wenjie. Among the many child actors and actresses, Cao Jun is really one of the few who has the aura of a protagonist and starred in anti-drama dramas all by himself. child star.
But unfortunately, Cao Jun, now 36 years old, has almost been forgotten by the market.
Many viewers will only think that he looks familiar when they see him again. Unless his masterpiece is mentioned, they will realize "it's him".
Child stars have passed their time, either because they are "disabled" or their acting skills are too poor. It is normal for Cao Jun to be forgotten by the market.
But Cao Jun ranks first among actors of the same age in terms of appearance and acting ability.
Previously, Cao Jun appeared on the variety show "Actors Please Take Your Place 2". In this variety show, Cao Jun's performance was really different from other students, especially compared with several young freshmen, his handsomeness Full of masculinity, his acting skills are delicate and full of empathy.
instructors' evaluations of Cao Jun are often positive. But even though Cao Jun performed well in "Actors Are Here 2", he was still rejected in the first round. In the show, he was still the foil for those fresh meat with poor acting skills.
In the Internet age, traffic is king. "Actors Are Here 2" did not help Jun Cao become famous, but it did let some viewers know that the once popular child star was not disabled and his acting skills were not bad.
Now four years have passed. Cao Jun has been away from the stage of "Actors Please Take Your Place 2" for four years. He has not achieved great success, but he is still working hard to get into the group and play roles.
In September 2022, the movie "The End of the Sea Is the Grassland", a collaboration between Cao Jun and director Er Dongsheng, was released in theaters. Although the movie's reputation was average, what would Cao Jun do without the foil in "Actors Please Take Their Place 2" Maybe collaborate with director Er Dongsheng.
It can also be seen from the development of public opinion on the Internet in the past few years that Cao Jun has still accumulated some popularity and popularity, and netizens are willing to pay attention to his latest updates from time to time.
No, Cao Jun has been on the hot search list recently because of his costume look from Reuter.
It is reported that Cao Jun has been filming the costume drama "The Mountain and River Pillow" during this period. This drama stars Song Qian and Ding Yuxi. The role played by Cao Jun is a supporting role. However, judging from the starring configuration and the quality of the original work, From a glance, "Mountain and River Pillow" is an S-level production highly praised by the platform. Even the supporting roles have considerable exposure.
The most important thing is that Cao Jun's appearance and aura are really as good as the male protagonist.
In the Reuters released by netizens, Cao Jun is dressed in a hazy blue ancient costume, with his hair tied high and without any bangs. In this period of fashion circles, various hair covers with bangs are popular. Cao Jun His style is clean, refreshing, dignified and full of details. Regardless of the character he portrays, Cao Jun already has the instant sense of a noble boy in Reuter.
In the picture, he has clear outlines and full of heroic spirit. The smooth lines of the entire face highlight the advantages of bone structure. Moreover, Cao Jun's face is small, but his facial features are large, especially his nose. The base of the nose is low, the bridge of the nose is straight, and the lines are clear. There is even more male sexual tension on his entire face.
In fact, Cao Jun, who is 36 years old, should have a more calm appearance in ancient costume, but who knows, when he is not smiling, he is dignified and serious, and when he smiles, he suddenly has the look of a young man in bright clothes and angry horses. His smile is picturesque, his eyes are bright, and there is no trace of the age of a 30+ man on his face. The whole smile has the vitality of a teenager, especially when a whole row of teeth is exposed, the lethality is no less than that of Bai Yueguang.
But having said that, as the male supporting actor Cao Jun’s beauty value is so high, as the male protagonist Ding Yuxi must be under a lot of pressure this time. Ding Yuxi’s image itself is very makeup-based. In the ancient puppet industry, appearance is not as good as That is justice, Cao Jun is so handsome in Reuters, and in the end it is not impossible for the supporting role to turn the tables.
Moreover, Cao Jun and Song Qian in the same frame in Reuters are really handsome and beautiful, they are a perfect match from height to appearance, and the "orthopedics" CP atmosphere with a strong sense of immorality has itself been verified by the market. .
If you are not careful, Cao Jun may become the second Meng Yanchen.
However, based on Cao Jun's plan for his acting career, he is really a treasured actor who is down-to-earth, does not sell out, and does not do marketing.
Otherwise, Cao Jun would not give up his acting career and choose to further his studies when he was popular.
When Cao Jun was 17 years old, he actually noticed that his aura as a child star was slowly fading. He also made some efforts for this, and even thought about transforming into a singer. For a while, he even occupied himself in recording After practicing like crazy in the studio and becoming a singer, Cao Jun gave up his life in the entertainment industry for a short time and returned to the daily life of ordinary people.
It was not until he was 28 years old that he recharged his batteries and returned to the entertainment industry. For Cao Jun, he experienced the trough of his life and felt the helplessness when he was frustrated before returning to the entertainment industry. On the contrary, he was more energetic and lively.
Even Cao Jun reflected on the fact that he was once obsessed with the aura of a child star and failed to seize the opportunity to quickly transform and retain the audience who liked him.
But this kind of reflection belongs to the reason and sobriety of smart people. After leaving the entertainment industry, Cao Jun regained his love for acting. In one supporting role after another, he became a better version of himself and returned to the audience's field of vision.
Now he is trying a variety of roles. In the ancient puppet show, his acting skills are the shining point for him to be seen by the public. In the mainstream drama track, Cao Jun's upright appearance, boyishness and masculinity are all The combination of image advantages is his label.
In the entertainment industry, gold will always shine, and the acting skills and strength of treasure actors will eventually be seen. For the current Cao Jun, being low-key and restrained is just the accumulation of accumulated experience. His status in Reuters has attracted many fans, but I think To appear effectively, one cannot rely solely on appearance, let alone acting ability.
I only hope that this time, the TV series "Mountain and River Pillow" can become popular, actor Cao Jun can meet a good role that suits him, and be remembered by more people.
