From a small editor to a director with a box office of hundreds of millions, from diaosi to being respected, has Dapeng done it?

In 20 12, an online light comedy named Dios was born.

Because of the dense laughter, it is a bit emphasized and is not optimistic by most people in the industry. No one expected that this little-known "Dapeng" could achieve such a great success: every episode of it was played more than 300 million times on the solo video platform every season.

From the beginning of this drama, Dapeng has completed the triple jump from an early editor to a well-known actor and director.

"I have a very ordinary family, a very ordinary experience, very ordinary parents, and then earn very ordinary money."

Dapeng used four words "ordinary" to define his first half of life.

"From my hometown of Ji 'an to Tanggu, I worked in the coal pile at the dock and looked at the darkness. I asked myself, why should I stay here even when the coal under my feet was shipped away? "

In order to escape from this small town, he once formed a band and served as the lead singer in high school. As soon as he graduated from college, he came to Beijing with his musical dream and full of blood.

After taking 37,000 yuan from home, Dapeng came up with a record and finally found out that he was cheated by a leather bag company. Unwilling to give up, he went to Dongdan to interview a music broadcast host. As a result, no CET-4 certificate was rejected, and then I went to Houhai to interview a bar singer. The boss saw him off before the piano began to play.

By mistake, Dapeng went to Sohu as an intern editor, with a monthly salary of 800 yuan, working from seven to five, and sometimes working overtime until two in the morning.

When he went to Sohu for an interview, he brought a stack of CDs of his own songs to the interview leader, only to find out later that people didn't listen at all.

The leader said to him:

"When I was like you, there were tens of thousands of people like us in Beijing. Don't think so much and work hard. "

Although Dapeng is only doing a small job of sorting out the music library in Sohu, he still tries his best to do his job well. He classified the music library according to the classification of classics, pop and nationalities, and made fine marks.

Opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared. At that time, Sohu produced a text interview program called "Star Online", and the host felt that his skin was too dark and took the initiative to quit. Dapeng saw the opportunity of volunteering, but in desperation, the leader decided to let him play.

The good times didn't last long. In June 2005, Sohu invited a female directors from Beijing TV Station to take charge of this program hosted by Dapeng.

Unexpectedly, the first thing she did when she joined the company was to replace Dapeng.

Because in her eyes, Dapeng's appearance does not meet the standards of broadcasting, and his clothes are rather rustic. As for the level of hospitality, it is "not qualified to sell box lunch in Guangyuan canteen".

In order not to be replaced, Dapeng desperately demonstrated his ability. He plays the guitar on the show and gives gifts to netizens. Finally, he got a sentence from female directors: "Don't change people first".

That night, he and his colleagues were drunk and seriously said to their colleagues:

"I want to be famous for myself! No one will want to replace me in the future! "

With this indomitable spirit, Dapeng finally made a beautiful turnaround through Dioosman on 20 12.

With the fame comes numerous controversies, Dapeng said:

"My purpose is very simple, that is, to let everyone know me quickly in all simple and rude ways."

After the success of this online drama, Dapeng also faced a lot of troubles.

Searching for "diaosi" on Baidu, most of his photos came out. Dapeng sings a song seriously, and everyone just feels funny; The photographer is not satisfied with the normal posture, but prefers its funny expression. ...

He wanted to transform and let everyone see that he had more abilities, so he had the pancake man later.

When the movie was released, Dapeng's first line in it was:

"Do you think I look like a diaosi?"

The answer is also in this movie:

"I don't want to be just a diaosi."

Unexpectedly, Dapeng's film debut "Pancake Man" finally won the box office of 65.438 billion, which made him successfully stand on the peak of his life.

Two years later, Sewing Machine Band was released. He seized every opportunity to promote the film, which in his opinion was much better than Pancake Man. However, no matter how hard he tried to win the support of all the stars in the comments, the box office only stayed at 450 million. The oncoming is the continuous decline of film reputation and people's doubts about Dapeng's ability.

"Dapeng is still the same style of diaosi", "The works laugh away from the kidney and don't leave the heart" and "vulgar" ... Many negatives are overwhelming to Dapeng, and some people even began to question that the box office performance of Pancake Man only borrowed the light of Diers' Man.

In an interview, Dapeng was asked by the program group to watch the bad reviews of his films. He looked at them seriously, and the director couldn't bear to stop and tell him that there was no need to be so serious.

Dapeng said:

"They are right, and I can't refute them."

Dapeng is not afraid to see others deny him. He thinks it is necessary to find out why others think you can't shoot well, and then he can make progress.

If one step doesn't work, then take two or three steps forward.

Dapeng never stopped moving forward. Later, he co-starred with Xiaogang Feng in I am not Pan Jinlian, and co-starred with Yuan Heping, a famous martial arts director, in Daoism.

20 18 won the golden horse award for best short film creation with Auspicious.

During the filming of "The Beneficiary", in order to experience the living conditions of the characters, Dapeng often wears makeup, walks back and forth in the busiest streets of Chongqing, and even goes begging and performing arts. Therefore, he can play the low-level nobody in the film well, and the image of euphemism, humbling and cowardice has become the biggest highlight of the film.

In 2020, "The Big Winner" starring Dapeng was also a little guy with few lines. Many times, Dapeng can play a cute little guy with his eyes and body language.

In this way, one step at a time, Dapeng successfully interpreted a brand-new self with a serious attitude.

Although compared with many current traffic stars, Dapeng is still very ordinary, but his bright spot is that he is always moving forward step by step in the direction of his dreams.

There is a sentence at the end of "The Big Winner" that is very suitable for Dapeng:

"If our efforts have no results, then we will work harder."

Yes, there is no road in life in vain. As long as we work hard, everyone can meet a better self.
