Editor’s Note

In the recent TV shows and variety shows, there are always some lovely and unforgettable artists. Some of them are new generation actors, some are fledgling idols, and some are powerful supporting actors who have been dormant for many years.

This column hopes to take this opportunity to capture those stars that are already working hard to shine.

On February 4, 2023, the first season of "Let's Farm" was launched. This program, which was not favored and even ridiculed before its launch, gradually gained recognition and attention thanks to ten young people who worked hard in the wind and rain to farm.

In Watch That Star, It Shines (13) , we introduced Lu Zhuo, Zhuo Yuan and Chen Shaoxi who lived in Room 1. This time, we will introduce Jiang Dunhao, Li Gengyun and He Haonan who lived in Room 2. Of course, Zhao Yibo who lived in Room 2 has been recommended separately in Watch That Star, It Shines (1) before, so I will not repeat him here. The other three of the "Ten Hardworking People" - Li Hao, Zhao Xiaotong and Wang Yiheng - will be introduced to you one by one in the "Digging for Stars" column later.

Jiang Dunhao

Jiang Dunhao's story can be told from the Spring Festival Gala. This is his feeling after he learned that all members of "Ten Qintian" will participate in the 2024 CCTV Spring Festival Gala↓↓↓

Jiang Dunhao's starting point in the entertainment industry was not low.

He is the champion of Zhejiang Satellite TV's "The Voice of China" in 2016.

"The Voice of China" is "The Voice of China". At that time, this popular music variety show was in the process of litigating with the copyright holder of "The Voice" over the intellectual property rights of "The Voice", but this did not affect the high ratings of the show during the broadcast period.

Since he joined Wang Feng's mentor group in "The Voice of China", Jiang Dunhao participated in the program "Let's Band Together" in 2019 where Wang Feng was also the mentor, and he won the championship again.

Jiang Dunhao also formed the Traveling New Bee Band with Zhou Jun, Tong Yu, Miao Yifan, and Wu Jian who participated in "Let's Band Together". Although they have released songs such as "Golden Wind and Jade Dew", "Longwu Road", and "Sweet Potato" in recent years, before Jiang Dunhao participated in the "Let's Farm", their live performances were basically a loss-making show↓↓↓

Jiang Dunhao, born in 1995, was one of the younger contestants in the season of "The Voice of China", but he became the oldest "big brother" in "Let's Farm". After two seasons of the show, Jiang Dunhao gradually adapted to his identity as the eldest of the ten diligent people. He once confessed to Li Hao that he also wanted to be a "younger brother"↓↓↓

But to be honest, this "family" has to fall apart without Jiang Dunhao. With Jiang Dunhao, the brothers have a backbone because he is very stable. He was the first to propose the idea of 10 people forming a company together, and named the company "Ten Sunny Days" (later because the word "sunny" was removed by other companies, it was changed to "diligent"). If it weren't for this operation, the guests of the second season of "Let's Farm" might have changed.

In the first season of "Let's Farm", he could still make a calm expression of "It has nothing to do with the Lord"↓↓↓

In the second season, Jiang Dunhao must "Roar like a Dragon"↓↓↓

Although several brothers openly "plotted to usurp the throne" in front of Jiang Dunhao, when they encountered "disputes", the brothers always wanted their eldest brother to mediate. Jiang Dunhao became the only "clear soup master" in Houdoumen↓↓↓

But in the show, Jiang Dunhao was always accompanied by injuries. Almost every time Zhang Shaogang brought mutton to reward the brothers, Jiang Dunhao would "get yang". Also due to an old injury, he had a problem with his meniscus during the show↓↓↓

In fact, Jiang Dunhao's character has always been soft but strong. In an interview shortly after participating in "Creation Camp 2021", he said, "The students in the upper circle play with the students in the upper circle. It is rare for the students in the upper circle to play with the students in the lower circle, because if the students in the upper circle play with the students in the lower circle, he may lose a lot of shots."

The few times he showed his soft side in public were mostly related to a lamb named "Sunny Day". Of course, "Sunny Day Princess" is also the pain of many "Hehuo people"↓↓↓

You may want to go back and watch the 46th episode of the first season of "Let's Farm". In my opinion, that episode is the best one in domestic variety shows that uses the "call back" element.

Most of the singers in "Ten Hardworking Days" have the idea of "farming for half a year and performing for half a year". Now their tour has been scheduled. Every time Jiang Dunhao releases a song, it will soon receive 999+ comments in related music apps, such as "Can't Help Thinking of You" and "Hermaphroditus". The author also hopes to hear his favorite song "Night in Ulaanbaatar" in the next tour.

Li Gengyun

Li Gengyun is like two different people in the first and second seasons of "Let's Farm".

Ever since Sanzi said in the show that he had "told it all", "Gengyun" has become "Keyun"↓↓↓

Well, it’s because the “bearded brothers” only have two brothers, A Da and A Er.

Let's go back to the first season. At the beginning of "Let's Farm", two members often received comments such as "Can't live without XXX". One was Zhao Yibo and the other was Li Gengyun. Zhao Yibo helped his brothers solve many electrical problems with his professional knowledge as a science student, while Li Gengyun helped his brothers avoid many detours with his agricultural common sense.

With rich knowledge of infrastructure, in the early stage of "Let's Farm", No. 58 Houdoumen gradually became like a home↓↓↓

Li Gengyun, whose real name is Li Mingqi, was born in Chongqing in 1996. After graduating from the Beijing Film Academy in 2020, he shuttled between various crews, but most of them returned in disappointment. In the same year, he changed his name to Li Gengyun.

In the program "Hello, Farmer Boy", Li Gengyun recalled his experience of being deceived into paying for a photo shoot↓↓↓

Today, Li Gengyun can tell the story as a joke, but one can still hear from his words how difficult it was to find a job in those years.

Compared with other actors, Li Gengyun does not have many dramas to be broadcast. According to public information, he has participated in the following dramas: "The Wrongly Married Princess" and "Soldiers Come from the Wind". "The Wrongly Married Princess" was filmed in 2021, and "Soldiers Come from the Wind" was filmed in 2022.

Li Gengyun is quite suitable for costume dramas and military dramas.

Of course, the third son has a firm grasp on the age aspect.

It’s okay, Sanzi. Although you are always the big brother in “passersby guessing age”, “Hehuo people” all know your other identity - the “god” in charge of paper drawing at Houdoumen↓↓↓

Of course, this is also the "Doraemon dream" in Zhao Xiaotong's heart↓↓↓

He Haonan

If He Haonan hadn't pulled up his pants while talking, I would have been tricked by him↓↓↓

He is the "boss of the post-00s generation", "the lost puppy", "Wolong", "the car god", "a Nanfang person", and a trendy man from Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai who currently has "six certificates" and will have "seven certificates" in the future - He Haonan.

You can see the flowery words, right? The teachers in the later stage are also working hard to show He Haonan's "fart". The audience who have watched the show can also find another easter egg. He Haonan has his own puppy barking sound effect. According to the observations of Jiang Dunhao, Zhao Yibo and others, this puppy barking has more than one kind.

Although he is a bit cocky, He Haonan is recognized by his brothers as a reliable man. He is smart, willing to work hard, and more importantly, he has a strong sense of perception. When most people did not know how to harvest rice in the early stages of "Let's Farm", He Haonan was criticized when he drove his car to deliver the rice. He did not make excuses or try to get out of it, but directly admitted his mistake and promised to complete the harvesting task the next day.

This steadiness that is not in line with his age may come from his several draft experiences.

He Haonan, whose real name is He Yijun, was born in Zhejiang on November 6, 2000. During the "He Yijun" period, he participated in "Youth With You" in 2020 and "Creation Camp 2021" in 2021. Similar to several other brothers of "Ten Diligent Days" who participated in talent shows, he basically belonged to the "passerby" in those shows.

It takes quite a lot of effort to look up the dramas in which He Haonan/He Yijun participated. In summary, they were basically supporting roles, including "I Remember That Boy", "Limited Time Lovers", "Star Order", etc.

At present, He Haonan’s development direction is to become a singer. In September last year, he released the single "After the Rain".

I recommend you to watch the spin-off program of "Let's Farm", "A Small Harvest at the Village Entrance", a censored TV series by He Haonan. He Haonan has great potential as a comedian↓↓↓
