Do you still remember Zhang Rui, the "Fifth Brother"? What has he gone through now that he has been reduced to an 18th line entertainer?

The speed of escalation in the entertainment industry can no longer be described as the speed of light, and sometimes it's just a flash in the pan. If you can't run your user assessments well in this circle,

watching theater and reading hot news stories is becoming less and less newsworthy and may soon be forgotten.

The superstar who used to be popular suddenly loses track of that person and suddenly disappears from everyone's sight.

It disappears for years, some will suddenly appear one day, some will gradually disappear from the entertainment circle,

And then there's Li Yifeng and Deng Lun, the two that everyone is talking about today, and now he's living on skewered meat.

That is - Zhang Rui.

Top of the heap

Born in 1987, Zhang Rui was born in Liaoning province to an ordinary family. He became interested in music at a very young age.

At the age of 16, Zhang left his hometown and moved to Beijing on his own so that he could better pursue his song aspirations.

It turns out that Zhang Rui always thought that his entry into the singing world would lead him to the peak of his career.

Unfortunately, imagination is blissful, reality is tragic, and Zhang Rui stumbled for two years, and his career has been lukewarm.

Unable to do anything about it, Zhang Nana gave up his dream of singing and eventually applied to the Chinese Opera Performance Department.

His life path took a major new turn.

When Zhang Rui had just made his debut, Li Shaohong fell in love with him at first sight and invited him to appear in the TV series "Dream of the Red Chamber", in which he was starred by actor Jiang Yuhan.

The brief jolt of electricity reinforced Zhang's conviction that the acting route he had chosen was the right one.

The following year, Zhang was chosen by Qiong Yao to play the gentle fifth brother Yongqi in the TV series "New Pearl River Princess".

To the surprise of many, even the popular TV queen Li Yifeng treated them as supporting characters.

Zhang Rui took the role of Fifth Brother and completely set the streets on fire, safely squeezing into the list of red stars.

As Zhang Rui became more and more famous, he was surrounded by more and more resources, and he filmed many works one after another.

To Zhang Rui's most popular stage, now even Yang Zili and Deng Lun gave him a supporting role, Zhang Rui's influence at that time can be seen.

In order to make Zhang Rui's career even more popular, Zhang Rui began touring and released various solo albums.

It was thought that Zhang Rui would be able to take his career to the next level, but little did he know that overspending would ruin his career.

Just like that, Zhang Rui was just a flash in the pan, instantly relegated from a top tier actor to a supporting role.

Poverty was overwhelming.

At the time, even as Zhang Rui continued to struggle in the entertainment industry, his career was not as boundless as it was then.

In desperation Zhang Rui focused on franchising his own business and growing the Charcoal Grill brand in his own home.

Jang used his fame to clean up his charcoal grill business.

While there would be all sorts of noise from the outside world, Chang Rui didn't care much.

Though he doesn't have a glamorous acting career, perhaps an ordinary life is the life Zhang Rui wants.

He's been a supporting actor from head to toe

There are two reasons why Zhang Rui has reached his current level.

The first is the visibility of overconsumption itself.

The popularity of big stars in the entertainment industry depends entirely on traffic. Firstly, they increase their visibility by participating in TV dramas and movies; secondly, they build character relationships by participating in variety shows to increase their exposure.

So as Zhang Rui's popularity grows, he crosses the border to market to other industries in addition to his good work.

However, this blindly accelerating trend led to overspending, which in turn caused fans to resist.

The second is a lack of recognition.

Zhang Rui has also performed, but many viewers have reflected a confusion, watching many of Zhang Rui's plays and not remembering the roles Zhang Rui has described.

This is Zhang Rui's shortcoming. The characters he wrote could not leave a deep impression on the audience. And Zhang Rui is still playing unknown characters these two years.

In fact, good and well-known actors can be famous based on their roles. Others believe that Zhang Rui is an actor's acting tool who can play a fleshless character.

Introduction:

In the end, I also hope that Zhang Rui will get better and better and that he will return to acting.
