Sammo Hung and his brother, Wang Baoqiang saw him also want to call "big brother", even Xiang Huaqiang comity to him three points, "martial arts child star" Ashton Chen, how strong is the background?
In fact, there are three "backers" behind him.
The first backer is Ashton Chen’s father, Chen Tongshan.
Born in a martial arts family, Chen Tongshan is proficient in black tiger boxing Wushu QiDuan and was awarded the title of "Eighteen King Kong of Shaolin".
He has a good way of doing business. He made a lot of money in real estate in his early days. Now there is a commercial street in Zhengzhou, and the annual rent is not a small sum.
Not only is he proficient in business, but he also teaches his son well.
After Ashton Chen was born, Chen Tongshan thought he was a martial arts wizard.
When he was just two years old, Chen Tongshan sent him to the Shaolin Temple to practice Buddhism and martial arts.
In Shaolin Temple, Ashton Chen is coached by his father, Chen Tongshan.
He is strong-willed, and he treats his son very harshly, which can even be described as cruel.
Although Ashton Chen was only two years old at that time, Chen Tongshan woke him up at 5: 30 every day, dragged him to practice the basic skills of martial arts, ran around Shaolin Temple, and sometimes tied a horse stance just look all morning.
Ashton Chen once played with small stones during his practice. After being discovered by Chen Tongshan, he was kicked in the face.
In order to prevent him from being playful, Chen Tongshan simply tied him with a rope, but Ashton Chen leg press couldn’t hold it down, so Chen Tongshan forced him to press it down. It took ten seconds for the handstand lacing, but in ten seconds, Chen Tongshan didn’t stop for a long time.
Because of strict father’s supervision, Ashton Chen couldn’t be lazy. At that time, his life was nothing but eating and practicing, which made him suffer a lot and even gave him a sense of depression, but it was also the case, which made him outstanding in martial arts.
Chen Tongshan sent his son here because he and Shi Yongxin, the host of Shaolin Temple, are good friends.
Shi Yongxin is also the second biggest backer of Ashton Chen.
After learning from Shi Yongxin, Chen Xiaolong changed his name to Ashton Chen, and gained a high position in Shaolin Temple.
Sammo Hung, who was several rounds older than Ashton Chen, also practiced in Shaolin Temple, but his seniority was not as high as that of Ashton Chen, and he even called him Senior Brother.
Wang Baoqiang also studied in Shaolin Temple. Although they practiced martial arts together when they were young, Wang Baoqiang called Ashton Chen "Shi Shu" according to his seniority.
Apart from these two backers, Ashton Chen’s third "backer" is Wu Dun, who is very powerful in Taiwan.
Wu Dun is the general protector of the Taiwan-Bamboo Gang. He not only runs his own business, but also has a background in Hei.
He and Ashton Chen met because of a movie by Ashton Chen. At that time, Wu Dun was deeply impressed by Ashton Chen after watching his drama, so he wanted to help the child more and took him as his adopted son to be his agent.
When Ashton Chen first entered the entertainment industry, the environment in the circle was particularly chaotic. Jackie Chan was forced to kneel, Jet Li’s agent was killed, and Carina Lau was photographed in luo.
However, no one dared to lift a finger in Ashton Chen, and he was safe and sound in the complicated entertainment circle, which was all because of Wu Dun’s asylum.
At that time, Wu Dun and Xiang Huaqiang were in the same position. Although Xiang Huaqiang could make a splash in the entertainment circle, due to the face of Ashton Chen and michel platini, Xiang Huaqiang had to give three points to Ashton Chen.
Because of this, he can get along well in the entertainment industry, and every film and television work he shot as a child can be called a classic.
He was the hottest child star in the 1990s. At the age of five, he cooperated with the top players in the entertainment circle, and Ng Man Tat, Dicky Cheung and Bidai Syulan all played supporting roles for him.
One of his plays earned millions of dollars, and every play was so popular that it held up half the sky. How smooth was Ashton Chen’s career as a child?
After learning martial arts from Shaolin Temple, Ashton Chen began to contact the entertainment circle.
He first appeared on the stage in 1993. Ashton Chen participated in the "Children’s Spring Festival Gala" of Henan TV Station. Because of his cute image, Changhong Film and Television noticed him, so he signed him to the company to become an artist.
In the same year, he got the chance to star in shaolin popey with Jimmy Lin, Bidai Syulan and other big names, and he also made his debut as a child star.
Ashton Chen was only five years old at that time, and Hao Shaowen, his co-star in the film, was only three years old, but the two stooges made the plot lively and interesting, forming a wonderful "Hao Shi" combination.
Hao Shaowen loves to play with treasures, which is a proper image of the "silly son" of the rich family, while Ashton Chen is the martial arts actor in the film. His martial arts moves are full of strength and momentum, and his fighting capacity is amazing.
In the film, Ashton Chen wears a monk’s costume with a pacifier in his mouth, which successfully created the image of the action comedy "nipple God of War" and became a childhood memory of the 80s and 90s.
The two little actors performed brilliantly, giving full play to their childlike innocence and cuteness, and even overshadowed Jimmy Lin and other big coffees.
Because the film was very successful, Ng Man Tat also collaborated with two child stars in shaolin popey shaolin popey ii messy temple, which brought infinite joy to the audience.
Because of the good beginning, Ashton Chen’s future career also went smoothly.
Before he was ten years old, he co-produced the film loong with Takeshi Kaneshiro, and co-produced with Uncle Da many times. Every play is a household name.
When Ashton Chen was 7 years old, he was also invited to participate in the Hong Kong Film Awards, and as an awarding guest, he presented Jackie Chan with Hao Shaowen.
Until 1999, Ashton Chen starred in "Young Bao Qingtian" series, and the actor who played Bao Zheng changed again and again, but Ashton Chen who played Zhan Zhao did not change. Even the audience ridiculed "Zhan Zhao made of iron, Bao Zheng with flowing water".
It is enough to see how influential Ashton Chen was in the entertainment circle at that time, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he was more popular than Stephen Chow in his heyday.
After the smash hit, Ashton Chen’s "Young Huang Feihong" and "Heroes on Earth Fang Shiyu" again failed to arouse much splash.
With the growth of age, Ashton Chen’s theatrical career became narrower and narrower, and gradually faded out of public view. Instead of continuing to struggle in the industry, he went abroad to further his studies.
In the few years since he left, there are many new people in the entertainment circle, and in the update iteration, there is no place for Ashton Chen.
However, when he first entered the entertainment industry, he was unanimously recognized by the public, and even thought that he was expected to be Jet Li’s successor.
Ashton Chen, a martial arts child star, became a smash hit when he was young. He has the ability and capital, but he still failed to live up to everyone’s expectations and failed to become the next Jet Li. Why?
First of all, their acting experiences are very different.
Although Ashton Chen made her debut early, she has made many popular dramas since she was five years old.
However, there are many restrictions on child stars, and after appearing in many classic works, resources are getting less and less, so they have to go abroad to study.
When Jet Li was young, he established his status as a kung fu superstar with only one Shaolin Temple, and then he successively created classic roles such as Fang Shiyu, Zhang Sanfeng and Huo Yuanjia.
Since then, he has entered Hollywood and appeared in many blockbusters.
In addition, he has won the all-around championship of China Wushu for five years in a row, and his hard power is superior, so the martial arts superstar is worthy of his name.
In addition, Ashton Chen looks cute, and this image is very eye-catching when he was a child.
However, now he is over 30 years old, but he still has a baby face and is still childish in appearance.
In addition, he is gentle and transparent, elegant in speech, and his image makes it difficult for him to play a particularly atmospheric role, which limits his development.
Jet Li, on the other hand, is handsome and handsome, with bright eyes and full of charm. He is an actor with both masculinity and vigor.
At the same time, he has a strong gas field and can hold down the field.
Moreover, Jet Li is committed to realizing his ideal, and he hopes to make Taiji and China Wushu go to the world through his performance and influence.
Therefore, his influence is much greater than that of Ashton Chen.
In addition, the limitation of the times also prevented Ashton Chen from becoming a martial arts superstar.
Since 2000, martial arts films have gradually declined, and idol dramas and time-travel dramas have emerged.
There are more and more idol actors in the entertainment circle, and the audience begins to pursue small fresh meat, while the tough-guy martial arts stars like fewer and fewer people.
Ashton Chen’s film and television market is also getting smaller and smaller under such a wave of the times.
Jet Li lived in a world dominated by martial arts films, and his success can be said to be in the right place at the right time.
Ashton Chen, on the other hand, was different. Apart from these reasons, his family also affected his acting career.
After he became famous, his father, Chen Tongshan, regarded him as a cash cow and set up several martial arts schools, all under the name of Ashton Chen.
Later, in the martial arts school run by her father, a 6-year-old girl was beaten and died after being rescued, which made her inexplicably become a back-to-back man and her reputation was damaged.
Later, he was noticed by the public again because of his love affair. Although he was photographed shopping together, He Jie and Ashton Chen did not disclose this love affair.
The clues found by netizens confirmed that the two were indeed in love.
But later, He Jie said that she was single in the variety show, and she also implied Ashton Chen. From her words, it seemed that her ex-boyfriend had a bad temper, but Ashton Chen didn’t explain it too much.
However, all these have had a certain impact on his reputation.
Now that Ashton Chen has set up his own company, filming has become his hobby.
Although Ashton Chen didn’t follow the public’s expectations and become the next generation of Jet Li, he had no regrets.
I have no childhood, but Ashton Chen has brought countless happiness to a generation.
