He heard someone suggested that he go to Beijing Film Studio to find opportunities to earn money as an actor. To earn extra money, I only worked for three or four days before I was lucky enough to be discovered by an assistant director and starred in my first movie "The Intern", where I was also the male lead.

This made him suddenly swell and arrogant. Later, in order to develop better, he was admitted to the theater. But when he was about to graduate, those who were not as famous as him all found their own employers. Not only was he rejected by his dream job of "Renyi", but what was even more frightening was that no employer wanted him. His little pride instantly collapsed. .

At this time, a fellow from Beijing Dance Theater who was teaching a physical education class told him that Beijing Dance Theater was recruiting musical theater performance teachers and asked him to give it a try. So, he gave up his dream of being an actor and became an acting teacher. , and this job lasted for many years. Later, he calmed down, polished his edges, started acting in small roles, and gradually became a very familiar and loved actor.

The studio later clarified that Teacher Chen Hao had never participated in the evaluation of professor qualifications, and the official website of China National Theater subsequently moved her name from "Professor" to the "National First-Class Actor" column.

This wave of near-miss hot searches let everyone know one thing: Chen Hao, who everyone thought had quit the industry, is actually going to become a teacher at the Chinese Opera. Chen Hao became famous at a young age. When she was in middle school, she served as the host of Qingdao TV's children's program. In 1997, she was admitted to the Chinese Drama Theater and was a classmate with Wu Yue, Jia Yiping, Wu Jian, etc.

In her sophomore year, she came to prominence in "The Mountain, That Man, That Dog" starring Liu Ye. Later, she became a host, acted, and released records, and her career was booming.

Her most talked-about role is the heartthrob in "Pink Girl". Her charming image in the play is still remembered today. Later, she played Diao Chan, one of the four beauties, in "Three Kingdoms", and Tian Peizhi, who wore various cheongsams in "The Golden Age," and was also a favorite of many viewers. Although she often has a sexy and charming image on the screen, her private love history is very clean, and there are very few scandals. In 2009, she married into a wealthy family, and then returned to China National Theater to study for graduate school. During her three years as a graduate student, she not only got a diploma and an offer to teach at the school, but also gave birth to two daughters. It can be said that her studies, career, and life were not delayed.

Now she has been teaching in the Department of Chinese Opera Performance for six or seven years. The above seven celebrities all have the dual identities of drama school teachers and actors, and some even have multiple identities such as directors and singers. Any skill may allow them to live a good life, but they have so many skills that they are all versatile.
