Choose one character to introduce
Although Shen Teng is no longer young and handsome, he is currently the top figure in the Chinese comedy circle. In the fall of 2015, "Charlotte Annoyance" starring Shen Teng was released. This was the first film of Happy Twist, which was very popular at the time. It was in this movie that the two leading actors became a hit again, drawing a lot of popularity from it.
The film also created a good record of 2.5 billion box office. This is also a great success for Shen Teng.
His thinking style is particularly flexible and his speech is also particularly humorous. Shen Teng is an actor who loves to laugh. Every time he smiles, he will have a few folds on his face. He has his own unique humor and always brings joy to the people around him. Every time he appears, the atmosphere is always active. He always give people unexpected surprises.
In Shen Teng's previous movie roles, we can see that most of Shen Teng's roles are the lowest-level characters. These little people are very inconspicuous, and they have nothing to do. Shen Teng used his own unique humor to express the bitterness and joy of these little characters to the fullest, which aroused the resonance of many audiences. Let the audience see that no matter how difficult the reality is, they must keep their original heart.
