Encyclopedia
Huang Xiaoming is a mainland Chinese
actor, singer, and model. He is often referred to as China's "number one heartthrob" or "number one young male" (中国第一小生). His best-known roles are Yang Guo
in The Return of the Condor Heroes
(神雕侠侣) and Xu Wenqiang in Shanghai Bund (新上海滩).
Huang graduated from the Performance Institute of the Beijing Film Academy
in 2000, alongside well-known actors Zhao Wei
and Chen Kun. He first rose to prominence in 2001 by playing the role of the protagonist Emperor Wu of Han
in the TV drama trilogy Da Han Tian Zi
(大汉天子). The drama reached number one in the ratings when it aired in Taiwan
, and his later dramas all achieved high ratings in mainland China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macau.
In 2007, Huang signed with Huayi Brothers
(华谊兄弟传媒集团) and began focusing on his movie career, appearing in movies like The Sniper (神枪手), The Message
(风声), and Ip Man 2
(叶问2). In 2010, he became one of the first mainland actors to star in a Taiwanese TV drama, acting as Luo Xi in Summer's Desire
(泡沫之夏), alongside Peter Ho
and Barbie Hsu

, Shandong
and is an only child. When he was young, rumors of his good looks and his obedience would cause neighbors and strangers alike to visit their house in order to take a look at him. At age nine, he was selected by a film studio to play the child protagonist in a movie, due to his looks, but because he was too shy, he kept his face covered and refused to act. While growing up, he was extremely shy, obedient, and studious; he does not recall ever going through a rebellious stage, and he is still very close to his parents.
Throughout his school career, Huang planned to become a scientist, but his language teacher encouraged him to apply to the Beijing Film Academy
, which rarely came to Qingdao to recruit students. A week before his entrance examination, his foot was run over and crushed by a jeep; luckily, the injury was not serious because he was wearing army boots. His father carried Huang on his back to the examination room.
In his interview examination, Huang was asked to imitate someone catching crickets, but he replied that there were no crickets in Qingdao. The teacher in charge of the interview likened Huang to "a block of wood," due to his lack of acting abilities, but another teacher, Cui Xinqin, said that even if he was a block of wood, he was still "a pretty block of wood" and that the academy wanted him. When remembering this incident, Huang said that when he was growing up, the person who had the most influence on him was Cui.
While studying at the Beijing Film Academy, Huang was good friends with Zhao Wei
and Chen Kun, and the three were known as the "Three Musketeers."
While filming Long Piao (龙票), Huang was involved in another car accident, this time on the way from Yinchuan to Inner Mongolia
. His head was scratched and his vertebrae shifted, and he was informed by a doctor that he had to wear a plaster cast for his head and neck for four months, otherwise the healing of his bones would be affected. But Huang refused to rest, as this would delay filming and cause losses for the crew, and he appeared on set wearing a neck brace.
After his fellow Musketeers shot to fame, Huang did not think he would become famous as well, since one of the academy's teachers had said that it was difficult enough for one or two students from each graduating class to make it big. Fame found him in 2001, however, when he was chosen to replace Lu Yi
for the leading role in Da Han Tian Zi
. Because the TV series was such a big production, and Huang was virtually unknown, many people had misgivings but the foresight and boldness of the investors is now admirable. Huang starred in the series' three installments, from 2001 to 2005, and he went from a newbie to a front-line actor.
In 2004, Huang was chosen to play Yang Guo
, the leading role in The Return of the Condor Heroes

and Huang Jue to play the highly-fought-over role. The role of Xiaolongnü
, Yang Guo's love interest, was rumored to go to Zhou Xun
, but ended up going to Liu Yifei
, who is ten years Huang's junior. Yang Guo is arguably Huang's most recognizable role to date.
Huang's most controversial and difficult, but most critically acclaimed, role was in Shanghai Bund, a remake of Chow Yun-fat
's drama The Bund
. Because Chow was his idol, he felt nervous, excited, and pressured about portraying the same role his idol had. In order to play Xu Wenqiang, he had to learn to smoke, and went through several packs a day. He also sang the ending theme for the drama, a duet with his costar Sun Li
. The song was included in his first studio album, It's Ming, which was released in December of the same year.
On April 9, 2007, Huang signed with Huayi Brothers Media
, an entertainment and record label. In October of that year, Huang Xiaoming purchased the company's shares. After acting in several Huayi movies, including 2009 espionage thriller The Message
, he left the company in 2010. It has been said that he will switch to Asia Media Films Hong Kong
, although this has yet to be confirmed.
In 2009, Huang was chosen to replace Dylan Kuo
in the 2010 Taiwanese idol drama Summer's Desire
, an adaptation of a trilogy by mainland author Ming Xiaoxi. Although originally slated to play Ou Chen, Huang asked if he could play Luo Xi instead. The drama also starred Peter Ho
, who was the producer as well, and Barbie Hsu
, with whom Huang had always wanted to work. He later admitted that he lowered his acting fee in order to participate in this series.
In 2010, Huang joined highly critical acclaimed Chinese director Chen Kaige's film Sacrifice which was also one of the biggest production of Mainland China that year with a budget of 45 million USD according to producer Chen Hong.
