A story about a Shanghai boy’s breakthrough in the entertainment industry
Chen Long, this name is still quite famous in the entertainment industry, but few people know that he was once an ordinary Shanghai boy, with no mine in his family, only his parents’ expectations and full love. . As the only son in the family, he enjoys the favor of his parents and lives a comfortable life without too many worries.
Until he was 18 years old, the pace of life suddenly accelerated, as if overnight, he was forced to grow up. His academic performance was not outstanding and he failed to get into college. He had to enter the society and started working day after day in a factory. The meager salary and boring work made him feel that his life had lost its color.
But there is always a fire burning in Chen Long's heart. He is unwilling to accept the status quo and desires change. At this time, fate seemed to hear his call, and by chance, he met someone from the entertainment industry. The man saw that he had a good image, so he gave him a business card and invited him to shoot an advertisement.
Chen Long’s first reaction was to refuse. After all, any invitation you meet casually on the street looks like a scam. But when he heard that he could get paid for shooting commercials, the fire in his heart ignited again. After a brief ideological struggle, he decided to take a gamble and accepted the invitation.
The result was beyond his expectation. The process of filming the commercial actually made him have a strong interest in acting. He found that he actually liked the feeling of being in front of the camera, and the income from shooting commercials was actually higher than his two or three months' salary. This gave him an opportunity to change his destiny.
So, he resolutely quit his job in the factory and planned to enter the entertainment industry full-time. He imagined that he could easily shoot commercials, take on roles, and live the life he wanted.
But soon, reality gave him a loud slap in the face. He found that the road in the entertainment industry was not that easy, with fierce competition and slim opportunities.
The counterattack path from a minor boy to "the most handsome Wu Song"
With no background and non-scientific background, he gradually established a foothold in the entertainment industry with his enthusiasm and luck.
Recalling his experience in the industry, Chen Long always said with a smile: "Shooting in commercials is all about good appearance and some luck." However, he knows that to become a real actor, luck alone is the key. far from enough. So, starting from his initial role as a walk-on, he honed his acting skills and mentality step by step.
Although those days were hard, Chen Long enjoyed them. He cherishes every opportunity to go out, even if it's just for a few seconds, and he gives it his all.
This kind of hard work and persistence finally paid off when I was 20 years old. He was unexpectedly selected by the director to play the leading role in the TV series "Vacuum Love Record". This drama not only made him famous overnight, but also made him meet his good friend Ma Yili.
However, the road to the entertainment industry is not always smooth. After Chen Long became famous, he quickly fell into the dilemma of playing a minor role. But he did not give up and still persisted in his acting dream. He believes that given the right role and the opportunity, he can prove himself again.
has persisted for more than ten years. Chen Long is like an unknown green leaf, willing to play a supporting role. It was not until 2011 that he starred in the role of Wu Song in "Water Margin" and attracted the attention of the audience again.
Faced with doubts and pressure, Chen Long chose to speak with strength. He studied the character in depth and worked hard to improve his acting skills. He finally performed the role of Wu Song vividly and was praised by the audience as "the most handsome Wu Song".
Chen Long's career began to go smoothly, and he gradually emerged in TV series. Although he has not reached the popularity of a first-line star, his acting skills have always been online, and the audience has a good impression of him. His persistence and hard work finally paid off.
Emotionally, Chen Long also experienced a tortuous journey. His relationship with Song Jia is still talked about by people today.
Originated from the crew, set in Shanghai
In 2004, a TV series called "Water Lotus" was quietly launched, and two young actors Song Jia and Chen Long became friends. During their days on the set, they were like two stars attracted to each other, and they could always find each other in their spare time.
Shanghai at that time became their sweet haven. Shopping, looking for delicious food, sharing trivial things in life...these ordinary daily activities laid the foundation for their relationship. When the media captured their sweet appearance, they made no secret of it and admitted their relationship generously.
However, the good times did not last long. When Song Jia's talent was discovered by well-known agent Wang Jinghua, her fate began to change. Wang Jinghua, this name represents a guarantee of success in the entertainment industry. Her artists are star-studded, including Chen Daoming and Carina Lau...all of them are top figures in the entertainment industry. Song Jia knew that following Wang Jinghua meant that she would reach the peak of her career.
But this also means that she will be separated from Chen Long. Beijing, that city full of opportunities and challenges, will be her new battlefield. But Chen Long, a man who has a strong sense of responsibility for his family, does not want to leave the Shanghai he is familiar with, let alone stay in the prosperous but unfamiliar Beijing for a long time.
Song Jia's career has soared under the leadership of Wang Jinghua. With her outstanding acting skills and unremitting efforts, she became famous in "Crossing Guandong" and successfully became a first-line star.
However, behind this radiant light, her relationship with Chen Long was gradually drifting away. What was once sweetness and promise finally turned into endless regrets and longing.
A few years later, when Song Jia looked back on this past event again, she might have been relieved. Because fate is always so magical, it allowed her to meet the right person at the right time - a girl named Zhang Lingzhi.
Fate is destined, a half-month flash marriage
When the movie "Crossing the River!" Cross the river! "The light illuminates the lives of Chen Long and Zhang Lingzhi, and their fate seems to be destined by God. Who would have thought that such a movie would become the starting point of their relationship. The moment they first met, it was like two stars attracting each other in the universe, and their magnetic fields aligned instantly.
Zhang Lingzhi is a girl whose thoughts are always jumping. Her boldness and straightforwardness caught Chen Long off guard. When the two of them went out to play, she suddenly challenged Chen Long to a "lifelong event". Chen Long was a little stunned when he was asked. He sighed helplessly: "Who should I look for?" At this time, Zhang Linzhi replied without hesitation: "You look for me!"
As the movie ended, Chen Long The courage was also ignited. He decided to skip those complicated steps and propose to Zhang Lingzhi directly. When he said, "How about we get engaged directly," Zhang Linzhi responded with a smile: "Okay!" So, the two of them went straight to the jewelry store, and Chen Long put on the engagement ring for Zhang Linzhi. And all this happened only half a month after they met!
On July 7, 2012, the sky in Shanghai seemed to have cleared up for their wedding. Two years later, they welcomed their first love child - a lovely son.In 2017, Chen Long's youngest son was also born, and this family of four was full of happiness and sweetness.
Now, they have gone through 11 years of ups and downs, but they are still in love as before. In the entertainment industry, a stage full of variables, they became a true "fairy couple". Whenever they appear in the public eye, people can always feel their sincere emotions and deep understanding.
Interestingly, the cooperation between Chen Long and Hu Ge also made this relationship even more colorful. In "Nirvana in Fire" and "The Hunting Ground", Chen Long and Hu Ge cooperated well, and Zhang Linzhi played Hu Ge's girlfriend in the play.
Every time he sees his wife and Hu Ge looking "loving" in front of the camera, Chen Long can't help but look helpless. But this has also become a little fun between them, and it makes people laugh every time it is mentioned.

Speaking of Chen Long, you may think of his tough-guy image on screen, but do you know? In real life, he is an out-and-out warm-hearted man.
