As a veteran "domineering president" actor in mainland entertainment, Huang Xiaoming has always been closely watched by netizens, with his every move attracting public attention. It has been more than four years since he divorced Angelababy, and during this period, he has worked hard to reverse his public image. At 48, he has broken through his career ceiling again, showing the public a brand-new side of himself. Recently, his collaboration with Zhao Liying in the drama "Small Town Affairs" has become a hit, marking a brilliant comeback for him in the acting industry.

作为内娱元老级霸总演员，黄晓明始终备受网友关注，一举一动都能引发大众热议。如今他与杨颖离婚已四年多，这段时间里，他凭借自身努力不断扭转口碑，48岁的年纪成功打破事业天花板，让大众看到了他不一样的一面。近期，他与赵丽颖携手主演的《小城大事》热播，成为他演艺事业逆袭的重要里程碑，再度收获外界认可。



In an era dominated by idol dramas, "Small Town Affairs" as an excellent period drama has opened a good start for the 2026 TV drama market. Huang Xiaoming, Zhao Liying and the late Zhu Yuanyuan all delivered exquisite performances in the drama. To play his role well, Huang Xiaoming first abandoned his "oily" image. Losing weight was just a trivial effort; he spent a long time exploring the spiritual core of the character in private, and his careful polishing finally presented a perfect work to the audience.

在偶像剧盛行的当下，《小城大事》这部优质年代剧为2026年电视剧市场开了个好头。剧中，黄晓明、赵丽颖及已故演员朱媛媛均贡献了精湛演技。为贴合角色，黄晓明首要做的便是摆脱自身“油腻感”，减肥于他而言只是微不足道的付出。他私下花费大量时间琢磨角色精神内核，反复打磨演技，这份用心最终成就了作品的高光时刻，也让观众看到了他的蜕变。

Huang Xiaoming has expressed his satisfaction with this work. He often live-streams to interact with co-star Zhao Liying to promote the drama. During one live stream, he mentioned that his mother often watches the drama and likes Zhao Liying very much. This sentence triggered a lot of speculation among netizens about their relationship. In fact, the two are just good friends. Zhao Liying once revealed that Huang Xiaoming often treats everyone to delicious food during filming, and his mother appreciates Zhao Liying for being down-to-earth and focused.

黄晓明本人对《小城大事》这部作品十分满意，近期也常通过直播与主演赵丽颖连线互动、宣传剧集。一次直播中，他透露母亲常看这部剧，且非常喜欢赵丽颖，这番话引发网友诸多联想，猜测二人是否有进一步发展。实则两人仅是好友，拍戏期间，赵丽颖就曾透露黄晓明经常带大家吃好吃的，而黄晓明母亲欣赏赵丽颖做事踏实、专注的特质，称赞她靠谱稳重。



Huang Xiaoming was once one of the earliest "domineering presidents" in mainland entertainment, and even had a famous meme: "I don’t care what you think, I only care what I think". At first, this domineering style attracted attention, but repeated performances made the audience feel "oily". After marrying Angelababy, he reduced his roles as a domineering president and began to deliberately avoid this type of image. Later, hosting "Sisters Who Make Waves" Season 1 made the public change their opinion of him.

黄晓明曾是内娱最早的一批霸总演员，甚至留下“我不要你觉得，我要我觉得”的名场面。这种霸气风格起初吸睛，可反复演绎后却让观众感到“油腻”。与杨颖结婚后，他减少了霸总角色的出演，开始刻意规避这类人设。后来，他主持《乘风破浪的姐姐》第一季，凭借得体的情商和咖位驾驭全场，节目大获成功，也让大众对他的印象彻底改观。

After divorcing Angelababy, Huang Xiaoming’s career has developed more and more smoothly, and his public image has continued to recover. Unlike some celebrity couples who quarrel constantly after divorce, he and Angelababy focus on their child. Netizens have spotted them taking their child out together, showing a calm and friendly relationship. For Angelababy, Huang Xiaoming was once her lover and a visionary bole; without his support, she might not have achieved her current status in the industry.

与杨颖离婚后，黄晓明的事业愈发顺利，口碑持续回暖。不同于部分明星夫妻离婚后争执不休，他与杨颖始终将精力放在孩子身上，有网友偶遇二人共同带娃出行，相处平和友善。对杨颖而言，黄晓明既是昔日爱人，也是引路伯乐，若没有他的扶持，或许她难以达到如今的圈内咖位，即便后期发展受自身行为影响，仍在圈内保有基本盘。



Huang Xiaoming is lucky to have stepped out of the trap of the domineering president persona and found a new career path. From being obsessed with playing domineering roles to striving to become a seasoned actor, he finally clarified his pursuit in the entertainment industry. "Small Town Affairs" has shown his efforts and sincerity. A truly excellent actor needs not only a handsome appearance, but also a clear self-awareness. It is expected that in the future, he will continue to bring more excellent works and be remembered as a seasoned actor rather than a domineering president.

黄晓明十分幸运，及时跳出霸总人设的局限，找到新的事业赛道。从沉迷演绎霸总，到全力向戏骨靠拢，他终于明晰了自己在娱乐圈的追求。《小城大事》这部作品，彰显了他的努力与真诚。真正优秀的演员，不仅需要出众的外形，更要有清晰的自我认知。期待未来他能持续输出优质作品，摆脱霸总标签，以实力演员的身份被大众铭记，完成中年演员的完美转型。
