When it comes to child stars, who do you think of?
Yang Zi? Xia Xue in "Family with Children" carries countless post-90s youth.
Or is it Cao Jun? He was in the hit dramas "The Little Monk of True Life", "The Nine-Year-Old County Princess" and "Baolian Lantern".
It is estimated that the first name that comes to mind for many people is Wu Lei.
After all, Wu Lei was so cute when he was a child.
The little Nezha in "Fengming Qishan on the God List" is naive, and his cute bun and red clothes make him more quirky and pink makeup.
Tang Buku in "Aliens at Home" lost his mother as a child and lived with his "imbecile" father, so he was precocious and sensitive. Later, under the infection of beautiful fruit enthusiasm, he regained the joy of being a child.
Ma Xiaotiao in "Naughty Bag Ma Xiaotiao" is not a good student in the traditional sense, but he is full of curiosity, kindness and justice about everything, and is a little boy who shines brightly.
When he was a child, Wu Lei’s face was round, and his small eyes revealed agility and playfulness. His performances were natural and vivid, and he harvested a lot of mother fans and sister fans.
Many child stars will face the awkward situation of "long disability" when they grow up. They are not as smart and cute as they used to be, so they cannot avoid being abandoned by the entertainment industry. Wu Lei is not the same. When he grows up, he has lost his original immaturity, and his angular face has added a bit of charm to him as a mature man.
His resources are also very good.
He is a guard flying in the ancient costume conspiracy drama "Langya Ranking" with incomplete mind but extremely high martial arts. "Langya Ranking" Douban score is 9.4 points, and the cumulative broadcast volume of Tencent videos breaks 6 billion, which is gratifying. Wu Lei is no less than a group of powerful actors, which can be seen in his acting skills.
Later, Wu Lei also starred in Zhang Yimou’s martial arts action film "Shadow". In the movie, he played Yang Ping, a young military general, and had an emotional entanglement with Guan Xiaotong’s Qingping.
Wu Lei also collaborated with Lu Han on the youth and blood inspirational drama "Crossing the Wire". Xiao Feng in 2008 and Lu Xiaobei in 2019 met across time and space in a game map. After experiencing suspicion, trust, and support, the two grew together and finally achieved a successful turnaround against the wind in their respective time and space.
In the ancient costume saga "Long Song", Wu Lei and Di Lizheba formed a CP. In the play, the two princesses hug, crush their faces, and kiss affectionately, which is so sweet. Looking at the sweet moment of Wu Lei and Di Lizheba, it really feels like "my family has a younger brother who is just growing up".
On July 30, 2021, the youth drama movie "Midsummer Future", which Wu Lei cooperated with Zhang Zifeng, the national sister, was released. The interaction between the two of them in and out of the play was very good, and they also gained a large number of CP fans.
Although the appearance is online and the resources are online, Wu Lei always seems to be one breath away from the fire. Why is this?
The first reason is that Wu Lei’s identity as a child star is too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
In fact, people are increasingly discovering that the identity of a child star has advantages and disadvantages for actors. Being immersed in the entertainment industry since childhood, it is natural to be well-versed in the art of the entertainment industry, and it is easier to form a fan group. However, the previous characters are too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, which will also make it difficult for them to transform. Unless there is a work with a huge breakthrough, people’s impression of him will stay on the previous work.
Wu Lei is facing such an awkward situation. Although each work is popular, there is a lack of a truly explosive work starring himself.
The second and most important point is the family business.
Many of Wu Lei’s fans knew that his manager was his mother. A mother was naturally able to protect her children well and avoid being harassed by the bad atmosphere of the entertainment industry. However, the unprofessional management made Wu Lei have great shortcomings in publicity and promotion.
For example, Guan Xiaotong successfully promoted the coffee position because of "Shadow", and the shot of holding an umbrella in the rain was even more successful. The secondary line "Hao Yan CP" in "Long Song Store" was frequently on the hot search, and was even called "bg light". On the other hand, Wu Lei, the publicity work is not in place, and more often it seems to be in a state of "silence".
Wu Lei’s younger brother has the potential to "explode" in all aspects. Publicity and promotion still have to keep up, after all, Jiuxiang is afraid of deep alleys!
