Michael Jack, which was originally just a small celebrity on the Internet, is only known in the world of young people in online programs.
At most, I joke about my image and humorous style. In fact, there are many such network celebrities in the field of short video, and most of them will disappear like meteors.
Leave only a few, or expand to other fields or develop into the film and television industry and continue to take the road of performing arts.
But Michael Jack is a special case. He is very lucky to have the opportunity to cooperate with Stephen Chow, a top comedian and director in China, which is absolutely beyond many people's imagination.
So how did he go from a small internet celebrity to the big screen and cooperate with Stephen Chow to make himself a movie star?
Michael Jack's unique funny talent made him unexpectedly popular. Many people know that "Michael Jack" is a talk show on the Internet, which was once a popular "epidemic".
And "Michael Jack" was just an ordinary employee of this program production company at the earliest.
His job is to be the screenwriter of the film and television department, mainly to create the text part of the talk show.
He used to be behind the scenes, and it was really accidental that he became popular.
There is a program that needs the role of a worker, and he has the opportunity to play this role, and that is "Michael Jack", which is the quality inspector of the factory floor that we later became familiar with.
The episode in which he made a guest appearance was called "The Assembly Line Project". Because he is only an amateur, we can see that he plays almost all the time, which is mixed with some personal humorous interpretations.
He looks ordinary, even ugly, but he has fascinating confidence.
He speaks extremely stiff Mandarin and adds a few words of English from time to time.
Let the whole person be filled with the combination of local culture and foreign culture, the contrast of language and image, and also form a unique and weird funny style.
However, it is this wonderful humor that has made him gain countless fans and become popular on the Internet.
Go on TV and become a variety star. Of course, "Michael Jack" is not his real name. His name is Lai Yuheng, from Guangdong.
Besides, he is a college student. He studied at Guangdong University of Technology and is now a screenwriter and actor.
After he became popular on the Internet, he won the "Weibo Top Ten Video Red Man Award" because of his popularity in online video.
Under various opportunities, he also began to formally enter the entertainment circle.
After seeing him, we joined several variety shows, but they were limited to some local TV stations, so maybe not many people watched them.
For example, "Crazy Jungle", although this program did not cause much heat, but the expansion of the broadcast range from the network to the TV screen, made "Michael Jack" circle a lot of powder, further increasing its popularity.
In addition, many netizens found that he and actor Michael Chen have many similarities in appearance and temperament, so they are often used together to spit and laugh.
Michael Chen also cleverly invited him to co-host the variety show, and their simultaneous appearance surprised many viewers.
However, this is also the first time that Michael Jack joined the variety show as a host, and when he was nervous, so many funny stalks and materials broke out.
However, this comedy program has brought a lot of ratings and comments, and the popularity of Michael Jack has been rising.
Next, he also participated in the "Tucao Conference" program, and Tucao actor Zhou Jie made him seem to find the stage of the talk show.
Because my job is a talk show writer, I am very comfortable.
His appearance aroused warm cheers from the audience, and the scene was very lively. The unique humorous way is also the reason why the audience likes it.
Next, he participated in programs such as "Happy Chinese New Year for Seven Days" and "I am the Comedian Season 4", which made him become a variety star from an online celebrity.
I was lucky enough to be in Stephen Chow's film. If all these made him accumulate a lot of popularity, then a movie casting made him a movie star.
When Stephen Chow was preparing to shoot "New king of comedy", he selected actors on a large scale all over the country, and it was done through the draft.
"Michael Jack" went to the election after getting the news, because his appearance and temperament are very consistent with the characters in the film, so he was successfully selected.
Perhaps from the grassroots, his comic features are very compatible with the bitter little people at the bottom of society in Stephen Chow's early film and television works, which is one of the reasons why he was selected as a comedy film actor in Stephen Chow.
After that, we saw the role he played in the film. That's really a nobody at the bottom of society. Although he works hard, he works hard. Although his role is not positive, even scum, he still won applause from the audience.
I have to say that his self-playing and self-singing in the film is quite exciting and touching.
Conclusion "Michael Jack" changed from an online celebrity to a movie star, which is really a difficult growth process for a nobody.
Although there is luck and hard work, this process is not achieved overnight, and the bitterness behind him may be invisible to us.
