Liu Duan Duan (Chinese: 刘端端) is a Chinese actor, singer, and music producer. He is a member of the National Theatre Company of China. His works include the film Brotherhood of Blades II: The Infernal Battlefield and the television series Joy of Life.
Early life
Liu comes from an acting family. His mother Yan Fanfan is an actress, his maternal grandfather Yan Zhongying is a director, and his maternal grandmother Bai Fengxi is a playwright.[2] In high school, he became the director of the school's radio station and gathered a group of friends to record programs at his home on weekends, where he began using editing software.[3]
Career
2008–2012
After graduating from the Central Academy of Drama in 2008, he joined the National Theatre Company of China and starred in many stage plays.[4] He did not receive preferential treatment due to his family background and mainly played supporting roles, "working for eight hours, and only one hour on stage, and the rest of the time was waiting."[3]
2011
In 2011, Liu met Tan Xuan, a composer, and the two later collaborated to compose music for TV series such as Allure Snow (倾城雪) and Beauty World (唐宫美人天下).[5]
2013–2017
Beginning in 2013, Liu began taking on film and television roles, stating "an actor needs to let more people know him and can't isolate himself."[3] His work in 2013's The Great Protector (镖门),[6] 2015's Young Marshal (少帅),[7] and 2017's Brotherhood of Blades II: The Infernal Battlefield[8] was well-received.
Liu continued his music career as well. In 2016, he composed and sang the opening theme "Crazy Love (疯狂爱)" for the drama May December Love 2 (小丈夫).[9] The song topped KuGou for three consecutive days.[5]
2019
In 2019, Liu starred as the second prince in the television series Joy of Life and received widespread acclaim and popularity for the role.[10][11]
