Interpreting Deng Chao’s new identity as an investor, being a "boss" is risky
Recently, Deng Chao appeared on the set of the annual hilarious emotional comedy "Composite Master" for the first time as an investor, witnessing and assisting the production of the first original IP TV series of his company. "Investor" is a new identity, but it is not the first time to cross the border. In recent years, star identities have become more and more diverse, and Deng Chao is undoubtedly the best among them. Actors, directors, singers, hosts… and even the "Captain" who founded Chao Theater, each identity can occupy the headlines and popularity. Friends and fans who are familiar with Deng Chao know that his challenge for new things has never stopped. This time was also extraordinary. Unlike the actors’ personal skills and charisma, "Investor" was more like the development and extension of another direction. No matter how his identity changed, he traced back to the source.

Deng Chao’s identity as an "investor" this time is very clear. "Compound Master" is a derivative of the "Breakup Master" series, and the source of his first directorial work is also from this. This is no coincidence. Looking back at every new identity he has recently appeared, it revolves around the same factor, that is, drama. Even when it comes to the performance itself, Deng Chao initially awakened his inner love: "The first opportunity in my life to perform was the play" Che, Guevara ". The role given to me at that time was – no role, just shaping Guevara’s voice, less than ten voiceovers. The first opportunity I got in my life to perform, but I was very excited and went all out." The graduation drama that caused a sensation in the early years almost created a precedent for comedy in the drama market. The founding of Super Theater, in the current situation of small theaters in the industry struggling to survive, is almost upstream, and feelings have become the only strong support point. Deng Chao’s identity as an investor in "Compound Master" this time can be said to be the same, but the same remains the original intention of insisting on the pursuit of art. As a new derivative of the "Break Up Master" series IP "Compound Master", this TV series has broadened its production vision in terms of content production quality: both close friends in the circle join hands to help out, and there are also big names in the industry. Under the background of high box office of comedy movies and high ratings of comedy variety shows, "Compound Master", with the comedy gene of "Break Up Master", has attracted the attention and optimism of the market. In this way, Deng Chao’s boss path is like the plot of "China Partner": friends like-minded, cut into the real industry, immerse themselves in hard work, and let the audience vote with their hands. This path seems much more difficult: how to identify high-quality projects, fit with market demand, select partners, and control investment risks are all issues that entrepreneurs need to spend time considering.
From before the curtain to behind the scenes, every time is a "headline" invisible, and the effort and excitement are always "proportional".
On December 15, Deng Chao appeared on the set of "Compound Master", entering the role of Mei Yuangui, the somewhat cheap and warm breakup master, and returning to the TV screen that he had been away from for a long time. Three days ago, he had just finished from Han Han’s new film "Riding the Wind and Breaking the Waves". Such an intense work schedule is almost the norm for Deng Chao. In the character modeling photo of another new film "City Light of Psychological Sins" recently exposed, he was accompanied by this monologue: "Fang Mu, you are gone. There is a room in my heart, only for you." Looking back at the various interviews in the past, Deng Chao always used "room" to describe every character he created. Maybe Xin Xiaofeng lived next door to this "square wood", but for the creation of a character, the final performance is always proportional to the huge consumption of mental energy. This light-weight description also shows Deng Chao’s perspective on the beginning of a character’s entry into the play and the complete process of tearing the play, "I deeply feel the pleasure brought by drama and performance."
In addition to being an actor, the appearance of the phenomenal variety show "Run, Brothers" has made Deng Chao a "national captain" who is both a variety show and a host; the stunning appearance on "I Am a Singer" has become a classic scene, and the publicity songs for the movie have been sung one after another. From "Empress I’m Wrong" to "Radio Love Song" across dance music and love songs and other styles, netizens have been calling on Deng Chao to go beyond the album. The director’s experience and the establishment of Chao Theater are undoubtedly Deng Chao’s vertical exploration of the theater career. Any kind of identity requires a lot of energy behind it, not to mention that in the midst of the dazzling identity transition, he also dubbed an animated movie "Despicable Daddy 2", and the role is the main character "Gru" who is very heavy on the play. This time, he turned into an investor, not just a businessperson who looked rational and cold, but simply and stubbornly paid for the dream he insisted on at the beginning. Until now, he still remembers the line that woke him up more than ten years ago, "Warriors, our ship is about to set sail now." At that time, it was just a voice without a role, which was enough to plant a seed in his heart that could germinate.
