Chinanews client, Beijing, October 26 (Yuan Xiuyue) Cao Jun has recently attracted the attention of the public because of the variety show "Actors Please Be in Place".

There are forty actors in the show, and his market rating is the last one, which surprised many people, including himself.

The two episodes of "Thirty Only" and "Promise" in which he participated in the performance both sparked controversy on the show, but without exception, Cao Jun was the one who was ignored in the storm.

  After the latest episode of the show was broadcast, Cao Jun played the role of Kunlun. Although there were few scenes, it was recognized by a large number of netizens.

Many viewers accidentally discovered that this child star in memory is growing at his own pace.

  What does Cao Jun think of the outside world?

What does he demand of himself?

Recently, Jun Cao accepted an exclusive interview with Chinanews.com.

  Cao Jun entered the show business very early. He learned martial arts since he was a child. When he was 8 years old, he met the TV series "The Little Monk" to cast roles in the martial arts class. After being recommended by the teacher and auditioning, he became a happy Shaolin monk in the play.

  This clever, martial arts monk gained the love of countless audiences after the TV series was broadcast. Cao Jun also became a smash hit child star at the time.

Later, he starred in many costume dramas such as "One Foot Ding Jiangshan", "Xia Nu Breaking Through Heaven", "Legend of Jigong", "Nine-year-old County Grand Master" and "Prime Minister Little Gan Luo". In these plays, most of his roles are He is a smart and cute little boy who is a big man.

  The only role that is different is Agarwood in "Baolian Lantern". This is an image of a teenager who has grown from carefree to bravely against the heavens. The love story of Agarwood saving his mother, Agarwood and Xiaoyu impressed many people.

  After the broadcast of "Actors, please take their place", Cao Jun evoked many childhood memories of the post-90s generation. Some netizens called him a childhood C-bit.

Cao Jun is also very happy about this statement, which shows that his work when he was a child has been liked by everyone and left a good memory in the hearts of the audience.

  It is precisely because of this experience that Cao Jun has known the identity of an actor very early.

He recalled that when filming "The Twelve Bronze Men of the Little Monk" (Part 2 of the Little Monk of the Destiny), one day after the filming was finished, the work ended on the scene. On the way back to the hotel, his mother asked him: "Do you like it? Acting?" He replied readily: "I like it very much."

  Cao Jun said that it might be because the shooting went well that day. He felt very good and was recognized by the whole crew. This made him feel that being an actor is a very happy thing and that he can do a good job.

Since then, he has known that actors have to believe in their roles and at the same time make the audience believe.

As long as the director calls "start", the actor must be completely immersed in the character.

  However, as he spent most of his time filming and also had to take care of his studies, Cao Jun had a hard time in his childhood and adolescence.

He also encountered some setbacks at the beginning of the third year of high school. For this reason, he also hesitated whether to continue to be an actor.

  After "Bao Lian Lan", Cao Jun made his own choice. He gradually faded out of public view, and he rarely filmed after entering university.

He said that from acting "The Little Monk" to "The Lotus Lantern" in high school, filming took up most of his time, which had a great impact on his studies.

He hopes to calm down and study in college, accumulate, and then start filming after graduation, "I want to show you a stronger me."

  However, Cao Jun at that time might not have thought that the cruelty of the showbiz was the word "changing with each passing day."

In recent years, the domestic film and television industry has developed rapidly, a large number of young actors have emerged, and the selection criteria of the market are also different from the past.

He came back to act again, and stood at a new starting point.

  From 2015 to 2020, Cao Jun produced works almost every year, such as "Lin Haixueyuan", "Dragon Detective", "It's Nice to Meet You", etc., but many of them are supporting roles.

He also faces a double problem-in the entertainment industry, the transformation of child stars is an inevitable topic.

  In the past two years, I can see Cao Jun's efforts to break through himself. He has participated in two performance variety shows, "I Am an Actor" and "Actors Please Take Your Place".

However, in an Internet age where "topic is king", Cao Jun's performance does not seem to be dominant.

In "Actors please take their place", he doesn't say much, and he is not the most eye-catching among a group of actors.

In the show, Dapeng revealed that Cao Jun is a person who is particularly afraid of troublesome people.

Many netizens appreciate his pragmatism and his lack of competition, and some netizens think that although his acting skills are good, he lacks personality.

  Cao Jun is not ignorant of the difficulties he faces.

He said that after he restarted filming, he would have a gap in his heart. It was a little sad to know that his market rating was the last one, and he would ask himself "Is that really the case?"

  But then, he wanted to understand.

The program has the rules of the game. The most important thing is to get a satisfied performance on the stage, to be able to make real progress, and to know what the performance is.

He said that he has no regrets, and it is more important for him to gain experience on stage.

  Do you want to continue to be an actor?

This question was answered as early as Cao Jun's senior year.

He said that the recognition of others is not the most important thing, only if you believe that you are a good actor and can act in a good show.

"So, I follow my heart and continue to walk the path of actors."

  In Cao Jun's view, the ups and downs in life and work have brought him frustration and training.

Next, he must face the status quo and take the initiative.

He hopes that in the next 3 to 5 years, he can perform well in the type of role he is suitable for and want to play, and gain recognition from inside and outside the circle.

After that, talk about the new plan for expansion.

Although there are certain difficulties, as long as you want to continue, you will eventually do it.
