The 52-year-old Huang Lei responded that there was no drama to shoot： no filming for 2 years, no being a male actor for 3 years, and variety acting stopped.

Huang Lei hasn’t appeared on the screen since the end of "The Life I Desire" last year.

Until this year, he returned with a new variety "Cat in the Box", but this time he was no longer a guest in front of the screen, but became a director behind the scenes.

In recent years, the controversy about Huang Lei has never stopped.

Some people think that there is something wrong with the way he educates his daughter Huang Duoduo. Some people think that all his appearances in The Life I yearn for are stage plays, but in reality he can’t cook. Some people think that he has appeared in too many variety shows, and now all his plays are good to watch.

For these disputes, Huang Lei recently made a response in the Lu-Yu dating program "Lu-Yu dating".

He once said in "The Life I yearn for" that he wanted to stop and think about how this program should be done.

After watching the interview, I realized that he was telling the truth. All his variety and performing arts work has been suspended, and there is almost no screen work.

Huang Lei, 52, graduated from Beijing Film Academy with a master’s degree in 1997, and then stayed on as a teacher. Christina is the first class he teaches.

In his early years, he looked melancholy and handsome, and he appeared in many well-known masterpieces.

He is one of God’s favorite artists. His first film starring was "Walking and Singing" by the great director Chen Kaige, which was screened in Cannes.

The second film "Midnight Song" won the best supporting actor in Changchun Film Festival, with Leslie Cheung, Liming and other big stars as partners.

Later, he starred in a TV series, and became famous for one of them, April on Earth and Orange is Red. These two classic TV plays have become his famous masterpieces.

He made Xu Zhimo vivid and became a "national niche" with great popularity. Many young writers were crazy about him at that time.

In 2003, he began to work behind the scenes as a screenwriter and director. His self-directed TV series "Eat, Enjoy and Play" unexpectedly became popular again.

Judging from the ratings of today’s entertainment circle, Huang Lei was the undisputed top male star at that time, and he was an all-rounder as well.

His films won awards, his albums were sold out, he acted in unpopular TV series, and he succeeded as a director for the first time.

It can no longer be described as God giving us food to eat. We can say that God feeds us.

But how did he go from "top actor" to "no drama" or even retreat behind the scenes?

After watching the interview, I finally know the truth.

First of all, his mentality has changed.

In the interview, Huang Lei admitted that he had not filmed for more than two years. The last time I played a man in a TV series was when I starred in The Xiaomins with Zhou Xun, but that was three years ago.

Huang Lei said without hesitation that there are few performance opportunities now, and there will be fewer in the future.

But this is not because no one has asked him for a job, but because he is lazy.

Huang Lei said that he likes to stay at home, even for months. When I was a child, I thought it was exciting and happy to go out to film.

But now when I heard that I was going out to film, I thought, "Can I stop filming?"

Because of his relaxed personality and mentality, Huang Lei revealed that he had not lived on the set for many years.

He can’t even write a script now except that he doesn’t want to go out to film. Because I can’t calm down, I often get stuck when I write.

As soon as I wrote the script, I began to think about which friends to make, where to eat, how to take my children out to play, etc. From the interview, we can see that Huang Lei is really a bit lazy.

52 years old is not too old for the stars in the entertainment circle, especially in recent years, the stars in the entertainment circle are very popular.

Zhang Songwen, 47, Zhang Yi, 46, Wang Jinsong, 56, Wang Yang, 46, Jin Dong, 48, Tan Kai, 51, and Liu Yijun, 52.

Each of them got a script and was treated gently. With excellent acting skills, eye-catching figure and accumulated mature temperament, popularity naturally rises.

On the other hand, Huang Lei’s figure has not been well maintained in recent years, perhaps because of his lazy mentality.

Being fat and greasy is the place where netizens spit on him the most.

He admitted that he was really fat. Because I love to eat, I can’t control my mouth, so I naturally get fat.

Although he also likes sports, the energy he consumes is not enough to offset the energy he eats, so it is inevitable to get fat.

But Huang Lei doesn’t care about all this, because he likes acting. In fact, he prefers to stay in the theater rather than go to film in a group.

After the performance in the evening, my friends and I went to the pub for a drink and then went home. He prefers this life.

Another reason why he "has nothing to shoot", I think, is that he participated in variety shows.

Huang Lei didn’t take part in many variety shows, but Extreme Challenge and Life I yearn for are national super variety shows. Among them, Huang Lei’s characters have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the audience.

In Extreme Challenge, Huang Lei is a fortune-teller, and both the program group and the member Xiao Jiujiu can’t escape his "eyes".

Besides, he is also clever. Whether it is arithmetic, reasoning or guessing people’s minds, he can’t be bothered by anything.

Such a deeply rooted figure will affect the audience to a certain extent when watching TV dramas.

Huang Lei is a cook who can cook anything in The Life I yearn for.

"Chef" and "Enlightened Younger Generation" have become Huang Lei’s unavoidable labels.

Look at the TV series he starred in later, whether it is "Xiaomin Family", "Little Joy" or "County Courtyard", it is difficult for the audience to enter the play.

Mentality relaxed, wild heart gone, image solidified, Huang Lei retired behind the scenes. This is not a bad thing.

Because from this interview, we saw his ambition and hunger as an actor.

Now he just wants to take care of the children at home. Since his debut in 1990, he has worked in the entertainment industry for 34 years, which can be said to be both fame and fortune.

In 2019, Forbes published the 2019 Celebrity List, and Huang Lei ranked 63rd. After years of hard work, he has accumulated enough wealth.

The film starring him was shortlisted for Cannes Film Festival, won the best supporting actor, released records, starred in popular TV series, and had classic works and representative roles. He was also awarded the title of "Honorary Actor" by China National Theatre.

He is talented, has resources and contacts, and does not need to make efforts to socialize.

Although Huang Lei has been controversial in recent years, he has already embarked on another actor road.

And this road is not envied by many actors.
