has to be domestic entertainment. Following the "Four Common Men and Common Women" and "Four Major Fault Tops", a new word was invented:
The Four Short Tops.
"Short top" means being a top streamer for a short period of time. According to the summary of netizens, the longest time for a "top streamer" among them is 1 year, and the shortest is only 1 month. After the term
became a hot search topic, fans of four of them, Li Xian, Deng Wei, Gong Jun and Cai Xukun, broke their guard and gave examples one by one: My brother is famous.
However, some passers-by directly and ruthlessly "exposed":
Except for Kunzi, no one else has ever "liked" it.
But of course it is not objective to say so.
will take you to see how these so-called "four short tops" became popular today. What breakthroughs will they make in their future development plans?
1. Li Xian
Search for 33-year-old Li Xian, and the keywords that come out do include questions such as: disappeared, why he is not popular, etc.
But this just shows that he once really became famous overnight.
Li Xian is a boy from Hubei. A year after failing the college entrance examination, he once again tried to challenge Beijing Film Academy. He then became the first student in Jingzhou City to pass the Beijing Film Academy entrance examination and was even featured on the local news network.
After his debut, some netizens who didn’t like him attacked his appearance as “unsophisticated and ordinary”, but in fact Li Xian is a patient type.
Although he doesn’t have thick eyebrows and big eyes, his body proportions are good, and his smile is bright and sunny, which makes him very down-to-earth.
His debut was extremely smooth. In his sophomore year, he entered the entertainment industry by starring in the movie "Thousand Arrows Pierce the Heart".
But after that, Li Xian spent a long period of silence. Later, although he appeared in "Brother Sleeping on My Upper Bunk" and "A Smile Is Alluring", he didn't have many roles and didn't get much profit.
Until 2017, he took the lead and starred in the detective drama "River God", which left a deep impression on the audience with his hormone-filled performance.
But it is little known that in order to film this work, Li Xian suffered from severe chronic gastritis and its sequelae.
Because of this, he missed the opportunity to film "River God 2".
But it doesn't matter, because at this stage, Li Xian became popular because of "Dear, Beloved", a collaboration with Yang Zi.
It was 2019, and he became everyone’s favorite “current boyfriend.” At the height of his popularity, his followers increased by tens of millions in 10 days, which was unprecedented. After
, he was known as the "four major traffics" together with Yang Yang, Yi Yang Qianxi and Xiao Zhan, who were very popular at the time.
The popularity naturally brought resources. After that, Li Xian successively participated in the filming of works such as "The Antique Game" and "Go Where the Wind Is", and he collaborated with "top-level" actors.
But judging from the choice of themes of his works, he is obviously very sober - some people analyzed that if he had continued his efforts and shot some works with similar themes to "Dear, Beloved", it would be very easy and direct to monetize the traffic.
However, Li Xian made the opposite choice. He not only took on the filming of long dramas such as "Life is Like the First Meeting", but also plunged into Lou Ye's movie "Three Words", which shows that he has a high pursuit of performance. .
Perhaps in the eyes of the outside world, Li Xian only became popular briefly.
But in fact, he is calm and has plans for the future: he is a movie star and also makes TV series, but he has strict requirements on scripts.
Because of this, Li Xian has a lot of solid inventory, such as "National Beauty", which has just been completed, "Chinese Criminal Police" with Zhu Yawen and Zhao Liying, and the above-mentioned "Three Words" and "Life is Like". Like first meeting" etc.
Looking at it this way, his approach is similar to that of Zhu Yilong, who has successfully risen to the top. He doesn't care about whether he is "top" or not at the moment, but pays more attention to the long-term development of his career.
2.Gong Jun
Currently, there are various questions about "Is Gong Jun confused?"
This is because after the hit work "The Order of Mountains and Rivers", he seems to have not produced a hit drama or a breakout drama in a broad sense.
Gong Jun, 32, was born in Sichuan. When he was in high school, he was spotted by a teacher who came to the school to select candidates for the art exam. On the eve of
's graduation from the Acting Department of East China University, he officially entered the entertainment industry by starring in the TV series "Clash of Swords".
Before entering the industry, he signed a contract with a brokerage company but was never taken seriously, so he terminated the contract and went it alone, starting from a small part. He did not expect that this "soy sauce" would last for many years.
When he went to "Kuaiben" to promote the new drama in 2020, Gong Jun only got 46 seconds of footage. The following year, he made a self-made photo album, and 2,000 copies were sold for two years...
Until 2021, a He was finally seen by the audience with the release of the top-level drama "Shanhe Ling".
A scene of his character Wen Kexing shaking a fan went viral overnight, earning him millions of fans.
Not only that, Gong Jun received more than 10 business contracts within a few months, and was invited by the first-line variety shows "Quick Book" and "Ace" one after another, and was interviewed by the media one after another... After
became famous, he was previously His supporting career was also revealed, and fans were moved to tears:
has been tepid for many years since his debut, but he has become one of the "top" overnight, which is gratifying.
At that time, he was labeled as the "Second Generation Xiao Zhan" by the outside world - after all, the latter had once reached the top with his "Chen Qing Ling".
fans also hope that their brother can once again write the legend of that year.
But the ideal is always full, but the reality seems too skinny.
One year after "The Order of Mountains and Rivers" was aired, Gong Jun's "Fingertip Boy" and "And You Just Shine", which had been suppressed for a long time, were aired taking advantage of the popularity.
However, these two low-cost works failed because of their rough production and lack of much publicity after their release.
Another film, "Hello, Flame Blue", which he personally attached great importance to, lost its reputation after it was released due to reviews such as "artificial saccharin flying everywhere" and "the rescue plot is weak".
After that, the series of works such as "Sleeping Garden" and "I'm Going Against the Wind" also had mediocre data.
Although his first costume work "The Legend of Anle" after "The Order of Mountains and Rivers" was very popular, it was ridiculed for various reasons and the results were dismal.
Judging from the performance, Gong Jun's works have been released continuously after becoming popular, but he inevitably bears the reputation of "six consecutive attacks", resulting in continuous loss of traffic.
Fans have high hopes for "Fox Fairy Matchmaker: Moon Red Chapter" and regard it as a "revival work".
Unfortunately, when it was actually broadcast, the heroine Yang Mi was also facing negative news such as an acting trial, and Gong Jun was even more embarrassed in it.
Some people even used the term "epic-level drama" to describe this drama, which really left fans speechless.
At present, Gong Jun has works with different themes such as "The Distance Between Us and the Court" and "Dark River", but where he will go in the future, he really needs to make persistent efforts.
3. Deng Wei
The "Sauvignon Blanc 2" that has just concluded has increased Deng Wei's popularity a lot, but many people have successfully disenchanted themselves and issued soul torture:
"I only love Tu Shanjing." , not Deng Wei? "
Indeed, this young man who is only 29 years old has only one drama to go from being unknown to attracting attention.
He graduated from the Department of Dance and Drama of Chinese Opera, specializing in classical dance and folk dance, and was a classmate of actor Zhang Xincheng.
Deng Wei has been learning dance since he was a child, so his posture and manners are excellent, especially his height of 1.83 meters, which is definitely an advantage for domestic entertainment.
Before debuting as an actor, Deng Wei worked as an Internet celebrity for a period of time. In the early days, he gained some fans with his handsome style.
His appearance is aloof and handsome, and when he doesn't smile, he always gives people the feeling of "don't let strangers in".
Because of the reasonable head-to-body proportions, high nose bridge, big eyes and obvious mandible line, the overall appearance does not feel like there are many flaws.
Perhaps for this reason, Deng Wei is very suitable for ancient costumes, so he only acted in one fashion drama "I Am Time, You Are Stars" after his debut, and the rest were in ancient costumes.
But although he has filmed a lot of movies, he has not made a big splash. Some people even said that before he acted in "Sauvignon Blanc", he could only be regarded as an amateur.
However, before becoming famous with "Tushan Jing", Deng Wei had several opportunities to be on the hot search, but it was not good news.
once was at the airport, and his staff was rude to the fans who came to see him off, so he was labeled as a "small-time showman";
once was when his fans went to Yuzheng's Amway social platform, but were exposed by the other party Acting like a big name...
Deng Wei was once on the hot search list for "colliding Xiao Zhan's face", but was angrily criticized and even boycotted by his fans.
However, because of his excellent appearance, Deng Wei was still rated as one of the "Emperors to be Exploded" by netizens, and fans also had high hopes for him.
Last summer, the long-awaited "Sauvignon Blanc" was released. As soon as he appeared on the stage as the "male fox" Tu Shanjing, he really turned everyone upside down and gained countless fans.
Even though the drama also stars Zhang Wanyi, a "drama niche" with excellent acting skills, and Tan Jianci, a "slash male artist" with great popularity among the public, Deng Wei's popularity is still far ahead, and he also attracts countless fans.
- This is the main reason why it is called "sub-top" by industry insiders.
When "Sauvignon Blanc" was on the air, Deng Wei's "Yun Xiu Xing" was also launched. Judging from the Reuters photos at the time, his handsome and elegant appearance once again made fans crazy.
It’s just that after this drama, Zhang Wanyi, Tan Jianci, and even Yang Zi have successively launched new dramas. Although they are not as popular as "Sauvignon Blanc", they are always active in the public's field of vision.
There is only Deng Wei. In the year since the first and second parts of the show were aired, his presence in the industry declined rapidly and he rarely came out to do business.
Moreover, due to the promotion of the show, it was released several times, and the joke of "falling apart after laughing" was made.
As a result, when promoting the second part, every move was cautious and the interaction with other actors was significantly reduced, which disappointed CP fans.
plus several other male actors in the play seem to be slightly better than him in terms of lines and acting skills, which also leads to the current embarrassing situation.
Some netizens even said bluntly:
"Objectively speaking, this person cannot be found in places with a slightly larger public list. Occasionally browsing Weibo data is quite impressive. If you keep acting as an ancient puppet, you will definitely not have nationality..."
Currently In addition to "Yun Xiu Xing" as the male supporting role, Deng Wei also collaborated with Xiang Hanzhi in "A Tree in Sendai". This is a costume work in which he plays the leading role as the male lead.
And we have to wait and see whether he can continue to "like" it.
4. Cai Xukun
Among the four, Cai Xukun, who was stamped as a "real top", is in a more difficult situation than the above three.
Since the sex scandal last year, his acting career has basically come to an end.
Cai Xukun, who was born in 1998, became a "top star" in 2018 with the emergence of "Idol Producer".
In this star-making draft, he competed as a "personal trainee". In a sense, he carried a certain kind of "public opinion" and was even a symbol of resistance to capital in the eyes of some fans.
In the end, Cai Xukun received more than double the votes than the second-placed Chen Linong, leaving behind the legend of "defying nature and changing his fate".
The following year, he continued his efforts and became the NBA's promotion ambassador, leaving behind the Internet meme "You are so beautiful."
After that, Cai Xukun appeared on "Run" and became a regular guest. He also released the hit single "Lover", which continued to reach new heights of traffic - and this song was also praised by the outside world as his only breakout song. Representative work.
But the good times did not last long. In 2021, the album "Mystery" released by it encountered waterloo: only 5 of the 11 songs previewed by
were finally released online. Some songs did not even have names, and they were called "loan songs" by the public. . What
fans don’t know is that also in this year, Cai Xukun had a male-female relationship with a female amateur named C, which resulted in her becoming pregnant and forcing her to have an abortion.
In mid-2023, this matter was exposed to the public’s view, and the “Big C” has since fallen.
Looking at it this way, Cai Xukun, who may be truly recognized by the outside world as the "top class", has the saddest ending.
After all, the above three are all continuing to work hard in their respective fields, and it is not impossible to reach the top again in the future.
Based on objective conditions, who do you think is most likely to become a true "top player"?
