Cao Jun Responds to Unsuitability for Entertainment Industry: Everyone is Unique

Cao Jun, a name that brings back many childhood memories for those born in the 90s, is often referred to as a prominent figure from childhood.

However, in the tide of time, this prominence has gradually lost attention.

In a recent interview, when faced with criticism from netizens that his personality is not suitable for the entertainment industry, Cao Jun responded that he doesn't know what kind of personality is suitable for the entertainment industry. He believes that everyone is unique and should focus on doing what they believe in and continue to excel in it.

Cao Jun entered the entertainment industry at a young age. He started learning martial arts since childhood and at the age of 8, he was selected to play the role of the happy Shaolin monk in the TV drama 'The Real Little Monk' after being recommended and auditioning by his teacher.

This clever and talented little monk won the love of countless viewers after the drama aired, and Cao Jun became a popular child star at that time.

He went on to appear in several costume dramas such as 'One Kick to Establish a Country,' 'Female Swordsman Crosses the Heaven,' 'The Legend of Ji Gong,' 'Nine-Year-Old County Lord,' and 'Prime Minister Xiaogan Luo.' In these dramas, his characters were mostly clever and adorable little boys.

The only different role was Chen Xiang in 'The Lotus Lantern,' a character who grew from carefree to bravely resisting the Heavenly Court.

After 'The Lotus Lantern,' Cao Jun chose to gradually fade from the public eye and appeared in fewer films after entering university. He mentioned that acting took up most of his time, which greatly affected his studies. He hoped to focus on studying and accumulating during his university years and start filming again after graduation, hoping to show a more talented version of himself.

However, at that time, Cao Jun didn't anticipate that the entertainment industry no longer valued 'accumulation and development.' In recent years, the domestic film and television industry has rapidly developed, and the standards of selection in the market have changed. Returning to acting meant returning to the starting point for him.
