Original Ashton Chen: Wang Baoqiang has to bow when he meets, and his status is higher than Jackie Chan’s. Why was his life destroyed by his father?
Kung Fu movies have always been the "golden signboard" of Chinese movies. Jackie Chan, Jet Li, Jason Wu, Donnie Yen and other Kung Fu superstars have brought China Kung Fu to the world stage.
No matter in any part of the world, as long as you can do a trick and a half, you will be applauded by foreigners: Chinese Kung fu.
There is a famous martial arts star whose films have accompanied many people’s childhood. He is not only a teacher elder brother of Wang Baoqiang, but also has a higher seniority status than Jackie Chan.
He is "Kung Fu Kid" Ashton Chen.
His father hated iron and steel, so Ashton Chen, at the age of two, was sent to Shaolin Temple to practice martial arts.
Ashton Chen’s real name is Chen Xiaolong, and Ashton Chen’s father is Chen Tongshan. As a native of Dengfeng, Henan, Chen Tongshan is also a "practitioner".
Chen Tongshan was influenced by Shaolin Temple since he was a child. At the age of eight, he worshiped at the Shaolin Temple Gate. Not only was his stick skill superior, but his black tiger boxing was well known all over the world.
It is such a father who can cultivate excellent Ashton Chen.
In 1988, as soon as Chen Tongshan’s child was born, he was very happy as a new father, because he was a boy and his martial arts could be taught.
In 1990, Ashton Chen, at the age of two, not only had amazing bones, but also looked fine-eyed. He was really a martial arts wizard. Chen Tongshan sent Ashton Chen directly to Shaolin Temple without saying anything.
Ashton Chen, on the other hand, took Shi Yongxin, the director of Shaolin Temple, as his teacher, and the lay surname "Chen" was directly changed to "Shi".
Speaking of Shi Yongxin, Jackie Chan and his very good friends, although they are close friends on weekdays, Jackie Chan still calls him Master in the cast and formal occasions. In this way, Ashton Chen can be regarded as Jackie Chan’s "predecessor".
If there is a generation, Ashton Chen also has a younger brother, that is, Wang Baoqiang, the "stupid root" who is now in full swing in the film industry. Wang Baoqiang and Ashton Chen belong to the same school, and their feelings are very deep.
Although Ashton Chen was sent to Shaolin Temple and taught by the master, his father supervised his basic skills on weekdays.
When the two-year-old children around him couldn’t even run, Ashton Chen was dragged to practice by his father. Get up before five o’clock every morning, and do a lot of things, such as "ma bu", "squat jump" and "press your shoulders and open your legs".
Ashton Chen squealed, but a little neglect of Chen Tongshan added up his fists and feet, while his mother watched and felt distressed, and she didn’t dare to say anything, just stopped wiping her tears.
Sweat and tears are basically all of Ashton Chen’s childhood, and there is a more terrible shadow in this childhood experience, that is, a very strict father: Chen Tongshan.
The road to child stars is very hard, and the directors are so tired that they are distressed.
Chen Tongshan’s sternness is still very effective. In 1992, at the age of 4, Ashton Chen won two international Shaolin Wushu awards. In the second year, Ashton Chen was selected by Henan Satellite TV to perform martial arts on the children’s stage.
In the same year, a film company in Taiwan took a fancy to this talented martial arts child star, and the signing soon meant that Ashton Chen, at the age of five, officially made her debut in the entertainment industry.
Seeing that his son can finally earn money, Chen Tongshan was relieved and gradually reduced his management of "martial arts" in Ashton Chen. Instead, he specially invited a Shaolin boxer to guide him, and by the way, he also invited a tutor to help Ashton Chen culture.
In 1994, Ashton Chen was invited by the crew of "Cyclone Boy", and at the same time, Hao Shaowen, another child star at that time, became a good brother of Ashton Chen screen.
I finally got rid of my father’s discipline, but I never thought that Chen Tongshan volunteered to be the deputy director of "Cyclone Boy", which made Ashton Chen feel pressured again.
Once when shooting a difficult action, Ashton Chen, who was hanging a tightrope for the first time, cried in the air, but his father didn’t ask, and even Ashton Chen accidentally fell from the air to the ground in the next shot.
This is too much for an adult, let alone a 5-year-old child. Watching his son cry and vomit, Chen Tongshan showed no mercy, and even shouted: Don’t cry, you are a man.
As a director, Zhu Yanping said distressfully: What kind of man is a child with a pacifier in his mouth?
One day’s filming, Ashton Chen called his mother crying to go home, while Chen Tongshan grabbed the phone and hung up, pointing to Ashton Chen, saying: It is normal for people who practice martial arts to get up early and be greedy for the dark, and they can achieve great things without suffering!
Give Ashton Chen three rules: No lateness, no laziness and no coquetry. Under the majesty of his father, Ashton Chen didn’t dare to say a rebuttal.
With the popularity of the film, the two child stars have become well-known child star partners.
Seeing that his son’s popularity is getting higher and higher, Chen Tongshan’s wallet is getting bigger and bigger, because not only does he supervise Ashton Chen’s filming, Chen Tongshan is also the agent and agent of Ashton Chen.
Watching his grandson work so hard, Grandpa Ashton Chen pleaded with Chen Tongshan.
Most child stars were sent to study by their parents after they were young. Both Zray and Andy were "good brothers" and Zifeng Zhang, a fellow villager in Ashton Chen, insisted on studying after they became famous.
Chen Tongshan, on the other hand, didn’t let Ashton Chen learn knowledge and culture. Instead, he intensified his efforts to sign many plays for Ashton Chen, and his itinerary was full of calendars.
The following shaolin popey, Young Huang Feihong and Ten Brothers were all arranged by Chen Tongshan for Ashton Chen during that time.
Due to the blockbuster movie, Ashton Chen was suddenly upgraded from a child star in the mainland to an "Asian Kung Fu Kid". Many parents saw Ashton Chen’s success and sent their children to Shaolin Temple to study.
During that time, Shaolin Temple was full of people, and there was an endless stream of people coming to learn martial arts from teachers. Some parents even set up tents outside the temple to wait for opportunities.
But a few people know the pain. In the movie, Hao Shaowen often smiles foolishly, which is the innocence that a child should have, while Ashton Chen always has a gloomy and serious expression.
This is the very different childhood of two children of the same grade.
In 1997, due to missing his grandson, Ashton Chen’s grandfather went to Hengdian to visit his grandson. Unexpectedly, this trip made the old man feel heartbroken.
Ashton Chen collapsed directly in the chair and fell asleep after a scene. At dinner time, Ashton Chen continued filming because of a scene, and finally finished filming the noodles made by Grandpa himself. Ashton Chen fell asleep in the chair before he could eat them.
Seeing that his grandson was so young and so miserable, grandpa insisted on taking his grandson home, and even begged Chen Tongshan: Is this what children should do? Whose parents are so cruel?
Of course, such a plea can’t impress the cruel Chen Tongshan, and things didn’t get better until Ashton Chen was 10 years old.
In 1998, seeing other people’s children go to school, Ashton Chen also cried and begged his father to let him go to school. Only then did Chen Tongshan relent for the first time and promised Ashton Chen to attend the third grade.
So Ashton Chen finally took up his schoolbag for the first time and went to the children to go to school happily like a normal child.
The son earns money and spends money with his father, while the father regards Ashton Chen as a cash cow.
Soon after, the cast of "Young Bao Qingtian" found Chen Tongshan, saying that there was a lack of a child who played the young Zhan Zhao, and Ashton Chen met all the requirements of the director.
After talking about the pay, Chen Tongshan pulled Ashton Chen out of school.
Although everyone in the family objected to Chen Tongshan’s practice, Chen Tongshan, who had been blinded by greed, stuck to his guns and sent Ashton Chen to the crew.
Ashton Chen’s school career, which lasted less than half a month, ended. The family has always said that Chen Tongshan regards his own son as a money-making tool and a cash cow, and even makes his children work hard to earn money regardless of life.
To say how Chen Tongshan "pitted" Ashton Chen, we should start with Ashton Chen’s early fame.
Being famous since childhood, "visionary" Chen Tongshan directly registered nine companies and schools, all of which were under the name of Ashton Chen, and kept collecting money.
Chen Tongshan, who has long been worth over 100 million yuan, never told Ashton Chen anything about "money", but just let Ashton Chen make money for himself.
Once, a female student in a martial arts school under the name of Chen Tongshan died unexpectedly. The school gave the answer that there was something wrong with the child. At that time, the teacher said that the child had always been in good health. In the long run, Ashton Chen, as a "spokesperson", was pushed to the forefront.
Under all kinds of names, Ashton Chen also realized that his father had opened so many schools by virtue of his fame.
Later, with the deepening of the investigation, more stories were dug up little by little.
Not only the martial arts and the company, but also Chen Tongshan, the catering and film and television industry, was founded under the name of his son. Ashton Chen, the spokesman and planner, was kept in the dark, but there was only one shareholder in the company: Chen Tongshan, Ashton Chen’s father.
Fading away from his childhood aura, Ashton Chen is no longer the well-known "Kung Fu Boy".
I was cheated by my father, but I didn’t get any money, which made Ashton Chen gradually understand his father’s "conspiracy".
Ashton Chen grew up with the ability to think independently, and the relationship between father and son began to deteriorate slowly.
I don’t know whether it was a conscience or a fear of losing my "cash cow". In 2003, Chen Tongshan finally agreed to Ashton Chen and sent his son to study abroad.
Ashton Chen discovered how wonderful the outside world was when he went abroad. Ashton Chen ignored the past and sent a message to his father abroad, "Thank you, Dad". Only Chen Tongshan knows how much bitterness these four people have revealed.
A few years later, Ashton Chen, who came back from studying abroad, wanted to develop in the entertainment circle with the help of his previous fame as a child, but he never thought that the development of his motherland was beyond his imagination.
Not only talented people come forth in large numbers, but also with the rapid development of the times, the film and television industry has been updated rapidly, and Ashton Chen’s figure and appearance after puberty are quite different from before.
Once "Jackie Chan’s successor" was once dubbed as "a child star with a long disability". There was really no way out. Ashton Chen returned to his hometown in Henan and relied on his previous interpersonal relationship to be a guest in Wulin Wind on Henan TV.
Later, although he starred in several films, the response was mediocre, which made Ashton Chen once lost.
Falling in love with He Jie, but being rejected by his father again, Ashton Chen’s emotional road is full of twists and turns
Although it is not easy in career, Ashton Chen has not left behind emotionally.
I had a love affair with "Xiaoli" Yang Xiaoli in the film "Young Bao Qingtian" before, and that was Ashton Chen’s first love, but then, after Yang Xiaoli became famous, he went abroad to study, and their relationship ended.
In 2010, in the cast of a play, Ashton Chen and He Jie were on intimate terms, and they became a couple at sunrise, even when they went shopping, they did not forget to show their love.
After falling in love with He Jie, Ashton Chen’s lace has never been broken. Some people say that they neglected their career for love, and some people said that they were married. In short, it was not easy for Ashton Chen during that time.
Fortunately, they broke up soon after, and He Jie announced her marriage shortly after she left Ashton Chen. On the day of He Jie’s wedding, Ashton Chen also sent a blessing.
To say that Ashton Chen broke up with He Jie, there was no less fanning the flames among Chen Tongshan.
First of all, it is said that they lack emotional foundation, and then both of them are developing their careers with the help of each other. In the end, they really can’t say the past, so they just talk about their age.
He Jie is two years older than Ashton Chen, and Chen Tongshan has always disliked He Jie because of this, which led to their parting ways in the end.
In 2013, Ashton Chen dated Wang Ruoyi, a post-80s geek. This girl, who is superior to He Jie in both appearance and figure, graduated from Chinese opera and made a big splash in her career. However, this blessed relationship seems to have ended before it started.
Ashton Chen’s emotional experience, which is still single, is full of twists and turns.
Is it a "dream of success" or a "pit ghost"? Where does 32-year-old Ashton Chen go?
A few years ago, in a diving variety show, Ashton Chen’s assistant drowned in the recording process, and Ashton Chen’s reputation was once again hit. In addition, Ashton Chen’s career seemed to come to an abrupt end.
In recent years, Ashton Chen has rarely appeared, but most of them are only guest appearances in movies, and when he appears in media reports, he is basically living.
Although Ashton Chen, 32, looks carefree in material life, she is still single. The brand-name luxury goods of sports cars under the seat are also earned by previous efforts.
It is said that his father, Chen Tongshan, hates iron and does not produce steel, so that Ashton Chen can find his own way out early. Others say that Chen Tongshan is a "pit ghost" attached to Ashton Chen.
Whether it is right or wrong, Ashton Chen has never accused his father of these behaviors. It may be filial piety or that his father has made up for what he once lost. In short, Ashton Chen is now in an embarrassing period with no drama to shoot.
Since ancient times, people have died for wealth, and birds have died for food. What Chen Tongshan has done to Ashton Chen has always been to treat his children as a father, and "it is difficult for an honest official to decide housework". I hope that the future development of Ashton Chen can be independent.
I also wish Ashton Chen to get out of the trough as soon as possible, and her career and love are thriving.
