【娱乐】盘点近20年中国十大童星
这二十年我们心中的10大童星
童星者,古代成名者如方仲永,现代如“小萝卜头”方舒。笑看打拼在娱乐圈中的童星,不胜枚举,但家喻户晓者鲜见一斑,昔日红星如“潘冬子”之流,大都昙花一现,而后匆匆消失。随着那些曾经活泼在中国舞台上的80后、90后童星慢慢长大,如今的中国童星已经向00后发展。那么,在娱乐圈日益激烈的竞争环境下,昔日童星的发展现状和命运究竟如何呢?今天我们一起来盘点一下过去20年里红遍祖国大江南北的十大童星,看一看他们都给我们带来了哪些美好的回忆。一起追忆童年!
Child stars are thrown into the limelight at a very early age and therefore quickly lose much of the playtime and fun enjoyed by their peers. Some of them are lucky enough to extend their success into adulthood, whereas others see their fame gradually fade into oblivion and have to bid adieu to the business when they grow up.
China's famous child stars from the early days include now well-established actress Fang Shu, who played Xiaoluobotou in the smash-hit "Living Forever in Burning Flames" in 1964 when she was only six, and director Zhu Xinyun who played the brave Pan Dongzi in the 1974 flick "Red Star" at the still relatively tender age of twelve.
Yet, early stardom doesn't necessarily ensure a smooth career path. Take for example 35-something actor Fang Chao, who before the age of 15 had already starred in nearly 30 films and TV series which co-starred highly-renowned Chinese actresses such as Siqing Gaowa and Pan Hong. The hottest child star in the 1980s, Fang had a hard time getting into film school in order to pursue further studies. He was once even found working as a waiter in a small restaurant for nearly two years. Fang is currently back on screens starring in several minor roles.
Here we has compiled a top ten of the most popular Chinese child stars of the past 20 years:
