With the hit of "The Willow Boat", Chang Huasen, who plays the second male lead Tzuyu, has once again attracted public attention - and this is less than a year after he last became famous for his wonderful performance in "Forbidden City".
Netizens still describe him as the "Yandere Prince", which shows that he has gone further and further on this track and gradually formed his own clear positioning.
In the new work, he plays Liu Yu, one of the two sons of the former crown prince and the fourth-generation grandson of the founding emperor of Dayan.
However, due to a palace coup that year, his father was given poisoned wine and died. His confidant had no choice but to escape with two of the emperor's grandchildren, but the other died of frailty, leaving Liu Yu alone to "live in shame" and bear a deep blood feud...
This role sounds very exciting, and is not much better than Li Tongguang in "A Year in the Mountains". He also has a sinister and crazy image.
It is for this reason that netizens dare to assert that Chang Huasen will "go crazy and kill" again this time.
But in fact, as he did not come from a professional acting background, his early status as an "Internet celebrity" was not favored. Fortunately, his acting skills have gradually improved in recent years, and he has ushered in a turning point in his career. He has also been labeled a "table-turning celebrity" by the outside world.
But looking back on his journey, his acting career has not been a smooth road.
Fortunately, Chang Huasen never gives up, but whether he can successfully overturn the table with the role of Tzuyu in "The Willow Boat" remains unknown.
Chang Huasen was born in 1997 in a well-off family in Zibo, Shandong. There is no record of his family background, but fans found that from the home photos he posted in his early years, it is not difficult to find that his living environment is very superior, so it is speculated that his family is either rich or noble.
Moreover, his parents paid special attention to his training. Chang Huasen liked basketball and running at a young age. In addition, he had a cute appearance. It was said that he was always the "school idol" in the class when he was in school.
Not only that, his academic performance was also excellent. In 2016, he was admitted to Hangzhou Dianzi University with a score of 610, which was 70 points higher than the first-tier line.
Here, Chang Huasen spent a meaningful college life, and it is said that he received scholarships every year due to his excellent academic performance.
During this period, he, who loved photography, also worked as a news photographer for the school newspaper and was said to be a contracted photographer for China Photo Gallery.
During his junior year, Chang Huasen ranked among the top ten in the school's campus hunk selection activity, and was immediately interviewed by "Hangzhou Campus Hunk", thus starting his career as an internet celebrity.
When he was at the peak of his popularity, he had millions of fans, which led to his dream of becoming an actor.
In 2019, the 22-year-old Chang Huasen got the opportunity to star in the emotional drama "The Countdown to Meeting You", and stepped into the entertainment industry.
Although he only played the fourth male lead in the drama, he accumulated a lot of fans because of his youthful and energetic appearance.
After that, Chang Huasen appeared in a series of youth dramas such as the romantic drama "I Like You So Much" and "So Cute We Are".
But although this positioning fits his image at the time, it did not make a big splash because it did not have many characteristics.
In 2021, Chang Huasen took a different approach and appeared as a trainee in the inspirational program "Youth With You 3".
But in fact, he had no singing and dancing training, but he relied on his courage to perform despite the heavy pressure:
"I just wanted to go for it, give it a try, no matter what the result is, just in case it works? Let's give it a try."
This is what Chang Huasen said and did.
On the stage, he once again demonstrated his "nerd" stunts. If he couldn't dance, he would practice over and over again, and sometimes the rehearsal would even last until 5 a.m.
Although his final stage performance was very good, Chang Huasen was once driven crazy by his uncoordinated dancing. He even hid in a corner and cried bitterly, muttering to himself: "How can dancing be harder than advanced mathematics?"
Fortunately, the result was good. In the end, he gained the attention of a large number of fans with his exceptionally wonderful performance, and finally had some presence in the entertainment circle.
In the same year, he struck while the iron was hot and released the song "The Second When I Have a Name" sung with Liu Guanyou, Liu Junhao, Li Tianyi and Zhang Shuai Bo, starting his journey as a dual-role star.
From this we can see that although Chang Huasen is young, he has great ambitions.
Behind this is the result of his future career planning:
In his opinion, in the rapidly changing entertainment industry, one must remain highly "vigilant", and the most direct way is to constantly explore one's own possibilities.
After a year of settling down in 2022, Chang Huasen began to exert his strength last year, starring in works of different themes such as "The Cute Master of Dali Temple" and "Good Reunion".
By the end of the year, Liu Shishi's "comeback work" "A Thought Across the Mountain" was a hit, and Chang Huasen, who played the second male lead Li Tongguang, ushered in a turning point in his career.
The character he played, Li Tongguang, is an unlikable villain - because of problems in his original family, he grew up in the laughter and ridicule of others. He has become accustomed to the darkest side of human nature, and thus his personality has begun to distort.
Until the appearance of Master Ren Xin, he became a "ray of light" that broke into his life and thus became his lifelong obsession.
After Ren Xin disappeared, Li Tongguang became the ruthless and ambitious Marquis Changqing in the eyes of ordinary people. He regarded human life as worthless and acted recklessly and ruthlessly.
After reuniting with his master, his sense of immorality reached its peak, and he kept losing control and going crazy between love and hate... It can be said that he has interpreted "plundering", "body substitute literature" and "sickly and crazy" to the extreme.
Because of this, Li Tongguang became the most crazy male god in the ancient costume drama at that time, without a doubt.
In terms of character setting, the character of Li Tongguang always presents the subtle role of human nature. Although he is not likable, he is very interesting. Especially under the performance of Chang Huasen, he brings out the arc of growth, which is very brilliant.
His performance was progressive, conveying complex emotions to the audience just right, and even crushed the male lead Ning Yuanzhou, played by Liu Yuning.
In terms of appearance, Chang Huasen always exudes a unique temperament, giving people a sense of sickness and distortion - this kind of story and versatility is very rare in ancient idol dramas, and therefore unique and particularly eye-catching.
However, it was also during this period that he, who had gained some popularity, was involved in a scandal of "stealing other people's roles", which led to him being caught up in a "resource-based celebrity" scandal.
A few days before the broadcast of "A Thought Across the Mountain", a fantasy drama called "White Moon and Brahma Star" started filming. Chang Huasen played the second male lead, Chong Zhao, and was a supporting role to Bai Lu and Ao Ruipeng.
Because the original novel of the drama is very popular, the work became popular before it was aired and was sought after by many fans.
It is said that the original actor who played the second male lead, Chong Zhao, was Guo Jianan, but when the filming started, he was replaced by Chang Huasen, which caused heated discussion.
Seeing the matter escalate, Guo Canaan responded, indirectly admitted the matter, and bluntly stated that he was replaced because "the production team felt that his appearance was not suitable for a fantasy drama."
In fact, he had just gained popularity with a low-budget movie "Ancient Love Song". Although he was not a popular young actor, his strength should not be underestimated.
As the matter became more and more popular, some people came forward to reveal that Guo Canaan was not the only candidate for the role of "Chong Zhao". "Yu Chengen had been decided before", but the latter had a back injury, which led to the temporary replacement of the actor.
Chang Huasen’s fans also jumped out to say that he was filming "The Willow Boat" at the time, "He was clearly the one who came to the rescue, but he was insulted, which was really unjust."
Chang Huasen was not affected by this. He indeed looked like a "young man in fine clothes and riding a horse" in the Reuters photos, and was gradually recognized by book fans.
Some people also revealed that he is the "emperor to be famous" that the platform is betting on, so it is normal that he has abundant resources now.
At the beginning of this year, Chang Huasen changed his previous impression of playing ancient idol dramas and appeared in the environmental protection and judicial drama "Above the River", playing a small role "Gu Yu".
This role is not large, but it is very impressive - he fully interprets the image of a bullied, gloomy high school student.
Especially in the fierce quarrel scene with his biological mother, Chang Huasen actually received three slaps in the face.
Because of his outstanding acting skills, fans who liked him immediately commented: "'One Thought Across the Mountains' madly criticized Xiao Gou for changing the youth pain literary boy, he is broken again..."
It can be seen that Chang Huasen has already mastered the fields such as "crazy criticism" and "sense of fragmentation" to perfection, and has opened up a new track in domestic entertainment.
Then came the now popular "The Story of the Willow Boat", in which he once again played the role of the son of a down-and-out prince who endured humiliation and bore a deep blood feud, but could only hide in Yangshan to recuperate.
Moreover, Tzuyu also has an unspeakable and turbulent love for the heroine Liu Miantang - this setting instantly makes the audience dream back to the taste of Li Tongguang in "One Thought at the Crossing"...
There is a scene in the play where he plays chess with the male protagonist Cui Xingzhou. It is full of undercurrents and is a Shura drama that cannot be missed.
Some people analyzed that if they were not in a hostile relationship, the male lead and the second male lead would definitely become like-minded friends.
But unfortunately, there is no if.
It can be said that Chang Huasen’s re-enactment of the “unrequited love” drama in “The Willow Boat” is a huge highlight.
In addition, this time he has a more frail and sickly feeling. He will cough constantly when he catches a cold. Needless to say, he will attract many "sister fans" and "mom fans" to pay attention.
At present, Chang Huasen has many works waiting to be broadcast, including the aforementioned "Good Reunion", "The Cute Lord of Dali Temple", "White Moon and Brahma Star", "Dark River Legend" with Gong Jun and Peng Xiaoran, "Water Dragon Song" with Luo Yunxi, and "Fox Spirit Matchmaker: Royal Power" with Cheng Yi and Li Yitong...
Although he seems to have not yet got the leading male role, judging from the status of his co-starring actors, his future is definitely not to be underestimated.

Do you think he might really be able to rise to the top in the future?
