For mainland artists, there is no doubt that the Spring Festival Gala is their dream stage. Being on the Spring Festival Gala is the highest recognition for an artist.
Huang Hong, who is known as the "Spring Festival Gala star", appeared on the Spring Festival Gala stage very early. Like Zhao Benshan, Song Dandan, Feng Gong and other sketch actors, he left a deep impression on many people.
With his sonorous voice and rich expressions, Huang Hong can always bring endless joy to everyone on New Year's Eve. Together with Zhao Benshan, he is known as the "Two Heroes" in the sketch world.
Huang Hong has appeared on the Spring Festival Gala stage 24 times. His classic sketches such as "Decoration", "Supernatural Guerrilla" and "Playing Poker" have become memories of many people's youth.
After Huang Hong performed "Jing Ke Assassins the Qin" with Shao Feng and Sha Yi in the 2012 Spring Festival Gala, he, like many "Spring Festival Gala celebrities", withdrew from the Spring Festival Gala stage and gradually moved away from the scene.
html Twenty-three years later, Huang Hong, then the director of the Bayi Film Studio, was rumored to be "removed from his post and taken away." Later, rumors about him appeared in the news from time to time, but now nine years have passed since the dismissal incident, and Huang Hong is now how's it going?
Recently, the 64-year-old Huang Hong made a rare appearance to help his friend Liu Tuan organize an event to help veterans. This appearance sparked heated discussions among netizens.
Everyone said "Long time no see", and some even lamented that they had not seen Huang Hong for more than ten years.
In fact, Huang Hong performed in the drama "Shangganling" in 2020, and was nominated for the "Best Actor" at the 4th Chinese Drama Festival for his role. Last year, the lineup of the stage play "Magic Moment" he participated in was officially announced.
Over the years, some people have invited him to participate in reality shows many times, but Huang Hong declined them all. He prefers to return to his family and live a low-key life. Over the years, Huang Hong has lived a very quiet life and has hardly appeared in the public eye.
This year, Huang Hong is 64 years old. Time flies, and the former sketch actor is now in his sixties. However, judging from the photos from this event, Huang Hong is still in very good condition.
Generally speaking, most men in their 60s have gray hair. However, although Huang Hong's hair is a little sparse, it is still black. This not only makes him look younger, but also has a rosy complexion, fewer wrinkles on his face, and the whole person looks full of energy.
This rare appearance has caused many people to speculate whether Huang Hong has plans to come back. However, judging from his character, the possibility is not high. Huang Hong prefers to live a low-key life. This appearance is also to support the activities of his friend Liu Tuan. After all, they are both soldiers and have a deep friendship and common goals.
For Huang Hong, a low-key life seems to be more in line with his pursuit. Although he occasionally appears in public, this does not mean that he will return to the entertainment industry. Perhaps it is this kind of pampered life away from the hustle and bustle that makes him look younger than his peers.
Huang Hong’s literary and artistic path is inseparable from his father. Huang Hong's father, Huang Feng, is a well-known folk actor in Harbin and has also served as the vice chairman of the Provincial Folk Artists Association. Influenced by his father, Huang Hong has been interested in literature and art since he was a child. Although his father initially wanted Huang Hong to focus on studying, Huang Hong finally convinced his father to let him start studying opera with his excellent academic performance and high artistic talent.
At the age of 13, Huang Hong was admitted to the Shenyang Military Region Art Troupe with first place results and officially started his artistic career.With both talent and hard work, he created the work "Uncle Jiang Protects the Pig Farm" at the age of 14, and gradually rose to prominence in the art troupe. He also created "Tea Tent on a Rainy Night" specifically for the Tangshan Earthquake and published it in a magazine, showing his concern for society and his creative talent.
As an adult, Huang Hong is eager to improve his artistic creation level through learning. He successively obtained undergraduate degrees from the Philosophy Department of Liaoning University, the Performance Department of the People's Liberation Army Art Institute, and a master's degree from the Art Department of Peking University, becoming a top student in a prestigious school. This knowledge and experience provided a solid foundation for his future artistic creation.
Huang Hong's acting talent first showed his talents at the Liao TV Spring Festival Gala in 1987. He began to attract attention from the literary and art circles with his sketch "Selling Calendars". Although he failed to successfully participate in the CCTV Spring Festival Gala for the first time in 1988, he was not discouraged and continued to work hard to create. In 1989, Huang Hong successfully appeared on the CCTV Spring Festival Gala stage with the revised "Recruitment" and became famous in one fell swoop.
That year, Huang Hong’s love life made progress and he married Duan Xiaojie, who was also a performer and a talented woman. After the marriage, the two have been in love ever since.
The following year, Huang Hong and Song Dandan collaborated on the sketch "Supernatural Guerrilla" after it was broadcast on the Spring Festival Gala. It became popular all over the country and became a classic. As a result, the two became the "golden partners" of the Spring Festival Gala sketch. Although Huang Hong and Song Dandan later parted ways due to different creative concepts, this did not affect their friendship.
Huang Hong’s performances on the Spring Festival Gala stage can be described as classics. His works "Hand in Hand", "Shine Shoes", "Playing Poker", "Shoe Spikes", "Going Home", "Decoration", etc., brought countless joy to the audience. As a result, he became the "nail of the Spring Festival Gala" and stood firm on the Spring Festival Gala stage.
In 2013, Huang Hong served as the director of Bayi Film Studio and was awarded the rank of "Army Major General" and began to develop in the direction of movies.
In 2015, Huang Hong resigned from his post as director of Bayi Film Studio and encountered the so-called "removal storm." That year was when Huang Hong resigned as factory director, but a neighbor who called himself Huang Hong said that he saw Huang Hong being taken away by some people. In that era when the Internet began to develop rapidly, rumors quickly spread throughout the Internet, so much so that some people said that something was wrong with Huang Hong, and rumors spread all over the place.
Bayi Film Studio took the lead to clarify for Huang Hong, saying that this was just a normal transfer. Perhaps because Huang Hong did not respond immediately, the outside world continued to speculate. After the storm subsided, Huang Hong said in an interview, "At first, I was open-minded and didn't need to explain too much, but I didn't expect the rumors to become more and more fierce. I would have explained it earlier if I knew.”
Later, it was confirmed that Huang Hong's "removal incident" was a rumor. It was just because Huang Hong was getting older and his contract had expired. Huang Hong was not involved in any illegal behavior.
Now, the 64-year-old Huang Hong appears again. His current situation looks good. Even though he is in his 60s, he looks energetic and does not look like his peers at all.
Although he has been out of the spotlight for many years, Huang Hong still insists on artistic creation. He not only participated in and directed movies, but also participated in plays and continued to shine on the road of literature and art.
Huang Hong’s low-key and humble character and unremitting efforts make him a truly admirable performing artist. He used his talent and hard work to bring countless joy to the audience, and also achieved his extraordinary life.
