Fast forward to January 2013, when Yang Ying, Yang Mi, Liu Shishi and Ni Ni were selected as the new "Four Little Flower Dan" in a selection event held by Nandu Entertainment Weekly.
At that time, the most prominent person was the girlfriend of Huang Xiaoming, the "huayi brother" at that time: Yang Ying, although she did not have any representative works at that time.
In the blink of an eye, more than 8 years have passed, and countless post-90s, post-95s, and even post-00s small flowers have grown up, but it is undeniable that 85 flowers still occupy the "traffic discourse" of internal entertainment.
However, these four people have their own opportunities in life:
Yang Mi has become a capital darling and a large flow household; Ni Ni takes the route of acting school, constantly improving her acting skills and seeking higher-level development; Liu Shi poet is as light as a chrysanthemum, and runs the family more carefully; Yang Ying, who scored the highest score that year, appeared "depressed" because of her confusing relationship with Huang Xiaoming, which was extremely mysterious...
Sure enough, character determines fate, and the ending of each beautiful actress has long been written.
In addition to beauty, Yang Mi's biggest aggression is her "desire", many people say: "She is the kind of female star who writes ambition in her eyes." ”
Such women are often not very popular, such as Zhang Ziyi, such as Xin Zhilei, are equally questioned.
Yang Mi is the same, having experienced one period after another of "black time", and finally came to the current position with hard work.
There is no doubt that she is currently the most powerful among the 85 flowers.
Many people know that Yang Mi was born in an ordinary family in Beijing's hutongs, his father was a police officer, and his mother was a full-time housewife.
At a young age, she participated in film and television works such as "Tang Ming Huang" and "Wu Zhuangyuan Su Qi'er" because of her outstanding looks, and later worked as a model for "Ruili" magazine.
In her sophomore year of high school, she got the opportunity to participate in Guo Xiang in "Divine Eagle Hero", because of her spirited performance, she gained attention, and then successfully participated in "Liaozhai Zhiyi" and "Dream of the Red Chamber", until "Immortal Sword 3", which became a hit.
Yang Mi's dream of stardom seems to be so smooth, but in fact, she once said in an interview that she was often bullied when filming because of her small coffee position, and she was beaten by the director.
That was her interview in the early years, and later she rarely talked about her grievances on the road to fame, because she knew that "no one will empathize with your pain, because everyone has a hard time."
In fact, as early as 2009, Yang Mi, together with Huang Shengyi, Wang Luodan and Liu Yifei, won the title of the new "Four Little Flower Dan" in the mainland.
But with the passage of time, when Huang Shengyi and Wang Luodan almost did not come out to shoot, Yang Mi became more and more popular, and two years later, he successfully "merged" with the other three 85 flowers and became a new label.
This is because Yang Mi came up with a phenomenon-level work "Gong Suo Xin Yu" in 2010, and while she became popular, she knew very clearly what she should have as a woman at different stages.
So when filming the TV series "Ruyi", she and Liu Kaiwei had a love affair because of the drama and were happily married.
A year before the marriage, Yang Mi founded his own studio, signed artists such as Tang Yan and Ming Dao, and also won a new generation of artists such as Gao Weiguang and Di Lieba.
Despite being the boss, her own career has never stopped, but has become more ferocious, and in 2017, she filmed "Three Lives and Three Worlds and Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms" and gained new heights.
The following year, she quickly ended her marriage with Liu Kaiwei, who no longer loved, and although the transformation work "Baby" that came up at the same stage was still questioned, it was undeniable that her popularity was always online.
Perhaps after being beaten as a newcomer, Yang Mi's motto has become "You must be strong."
Now she has obviously done it.
Maybe her ambition is too exposed, but it is a panacea on the road to success.
Yang Ying's beauty is beyond doubt, not to mention how this beauty comes from, but she can indeed be called the face value of this "Four Little Flower Dan".
As mentioned above, when she was selected as the "Four Little Flower Dan", Yang Ying seemed to be still in the "newcomer" stage, just because she took Huang Xiaoming's "hitchhiker".
Her origins seem to be inferior to Yang Mi', and Yang Ying, who grew up in a lane in Shanghai, was once a left-behind child who had to take care of herself not only, but also her younger brother Yang Fan.
Fortunately, she soon went to Hong Kong with her migrant parents and opened the road of tender models.
At the age of 14, Yang Ying signed a contract with a Japanese modeling agency, and after 3 years of ups and downs, she began to have the opportunity to contact the filming of film and television works.
But until she met Huang Xiaoming in 2009, she did not mix with any famous, but her appearance became more and more exquisite, and her big eyes flashed and flashed, which was completely in line with Huang Xiaoming's aesthetic.
After getting acquainted with Huang Xiaoming, Yang Ying's resources skyrocketed, not only setting up her own studio, but also joining huayi to invest in many films to brush her face.
By 2014, she was the author of Run! After the resident guest of "Brothers", Yang Ying instantly became a "goddess of the whole people" like a rocket sitting on.
In the "running man" at that time, Yang Ying was a proper C position - to this day, this variety show is still her "masterpiece" worth mentioning.
And Yang Ying's brightest moment should be in 2015, when she was an unattainable princess at the "Wedding of the Century" held by Huang Xiaoming for hundreds of millions of dollars.
At that time, the wedding was said to have invited half of the entertainment industry people, and everyone looked at the beautiful girl who came out of this ordinary family, thinking that the prince and princess would live happily ever after.
Yes, in the first two years of marriage, they really loved each other, and Yang Ying also filmed works such as "Song in the Clouds of Great Han Love" and "Ghost Blowing Lantern Dragon Recipe" "Under his own efforts".
Even if her acting skills were sprayed to the skin, she still won the Hundred Flowers Award for Best Supporting Actress with the role of "Ding Sitian", easily crushing Yao Chen, Liang Jing and Wang Zhi, who were nominated at the same stage.
At the most proud time, she talked to the camera:
"I've been on the road, and I'm not completely smooth, and if I'm going well, I should have won all the awards."
At that time, Yang Ying held 53 endorsements, most of them international big names, and successfully unlocked the covers of magazines such as Harper's Bazaar and Figaro.
However, in 2016, after Yang Ying's "cut-out divine drama" "Lonely Fang Does Not Appreciate Herself" was broadcast, she was once again ridiculed by the group with a salary of 80 million films.
But her income at that time was about 200 million, and even surpassed Huang Xiaoming - perhaps from that year on, she did not pay attention to her husband at all.
At the same stage when the relationship between the two gradually became indifferent to the naked eye, Yang Ying's resources fell off a cliff, even if it was her "Run! Brothers", she has also been reduced to a supporting role for newcomers.
There is news that she is actively repairing her relationship with Huang Xiaoming, but is it all too late?
Recently, Ni Ni was a bit angry, due to the fact that she and Lei Jiayin starred in a middle-aged couple in the TV series "Meritorious Service", and the ratings soared, and her acting skills in it were once again recognized.
As a "girl", Ni Ni is the one with the highest starting point among the 85 flowers, but it is not easy for her to go along the way.
Ten years ago, Ni Ni, who successfully broke into the public eye with "Jinling Thirteen Chao", fell into "snow hiding" the following year because of the break between her mentor Zhang Yimou and Zhang Weiping.
Fortunately, at that time, she was in love with Feng Shaofeng, and in the absence of a job, she could only rely on crazy magazine shooting and catwalk photos to maintain her heat.
In the case of average resources, Ni Ni has also gone through the "wrong way", there is a stage, with a high-class face, she shot a large number of "little chick" movies:
"I want to be good with you", "Waiting for the wind to come", "Hurry that year", "Bride Wars", etc., have not brought any turnaround to her career, and each movie has a rating of less than 6 points and fails.
It was not until 2016, after the new "Girl Scout" Zhou Dongyu was successfully sealed with a "July and Ansheng", Ni Ni suddenly realized and began to transform.
At that time, she changed the track, and "Dimensional reduction" filmed two TV series: "Tiansheng Long Song" starring Chen Kun and "Chen Xi Yuan" with Zhang Zhen.
Maybe the response is average, but it makes her earn a lot of money, and it is rumored that Ni Ni's salary for filming "Tiansheng Long Song" is 98 million, which is simply sky-high.
Subsequently, she signed her agency contract to director Shen Yan, who had filmed dramas such as "Chinese-style Relationship" and "Spicy Mother Zhengbiao", and the two met in the filming of "Tiansheng Long Song".
Therefore, they collaborated on the fire "Flowing Golden Years" last year, a TV series that presents polarization in evaluation, and the focus of people's attention is basically that "Ni Ni's acting skills are better than Liu Shishi's.".
It is also true that in the end, she successfully nominated for the Magnolia Award with the role of "Zhu Suosuo", although it was not sealed, it was recognized by the public.
The director of today's "Meritorious Hero Yu Min" is also Shen Yan, which shows that under the tutelage of a good director, Ni Ni's acting skills are more and more like her face, advanced.
Ten years after her debut, Ni Ni now seems to be more and more free, and every time she appears on camera, she is also a confident and cheerful look, and has the courage to say that her "senior face is eye distance, nose collapse, mouth is large, chin square." ”
At present, she does not have many upcoming dramas in her hands, and a "Night Traveler" starring Deng Lun is being filmed, she said:
"I want to be an acting school, an actor like Meryl Streep, and be remembered by the audience through superb acting skills, because beauty can't last."
Some people say that there is no real "people as light as a chrysanthemum" in the entertainment industry, because resources are limited, and only by scrambling to grab it can there be a possibility of redness.
But when you see Liu Shishi, you will know that she is.
As the most special of the 85 flowers, Liu Shishi really "interprets" a more traditional Chinese female image to the fullest.
That is: when to do something, when to fight for a career to work hard to act, should get married and have children to abandon fame and fortune.
Liu Shishi graduated from Beiwu and studied ballet, so her temperament is not generally good.
Perhaps because of this, she successfully starred in "Moon Shadow Wind Lotus" in her junior year, but she did not continue to climb up like others, almost seeing it.
Instead, she chose to continue to go back to school after filming, and after years of thinking about it, she concluded that she was "too lazy".
After graduation, Liu Shishi had a period of "North Drift" years and also starred in many film and television works, but the water was flat, until she accidentally met Cai Yinong, the president of Tang Dynasty, in 2007.
The two hit it off, and Liu Shishi starred in the costume fantasy love drama "LiaozhaiQi Woman", and her appearance in "Xin Fourteen Niang" is still amazing.
After that, Liu Shishi was unexpectedly regarded as "a sister" by the Tang people, and began to star in various costume TV series: "The Legend of the Eagle Shooter", "The Tale of the Dragon Slaughtering in the Heavens", and "The Strange Hero and a Plum".
Until 2011, as soon as her starring role in "Step by Step" was broadcast, she won the ratings championship of the same period, and she herself won the Magnolia Award for the most popular actress voted by the Internet audience, which became popular overnight.
It is precisely because of this that Liu Shishi was elected as the new "Four Little Flower Dan" along with the other three.
But obviously, Liu Shishi, who has become famous, does not have the ambitions of Yang Mi and Yang Ying, nor does she imagine ni ni to "embarrass" herself - instead, at the peak of her career, she chose to register her marriage with Wu Qilong, who was angry because of drama.
At the stage when she should fight for her career, Liu Shishi gave birth to a son and had to stop because of this.
Although she has also filmed works such as "Embroidered Spring Knife" and "The Biography of Female Doctor Mingfei", and in the period of personal development, she has also come up with dramas such as "Dawn of decisive battle" and "Drunken Linglong", but the response has not been as strong as before.
Fortunately, Liu Shishi herself does not care, it seems that she can star in one or two favorite TV series every year, and the rest of the time she will marry and teach her children and enjoy a beautiful and peaceful life, which is her ideal in life.
Some netizens commented that Liu Shishi was like "like a student who studied hard and couldn't get good results." ”
Because her acting skills have always been questioned, especially in "Dear Myself" and "Flowing Golden Years", there are so-called "problems", but she herself is also sober:
"Of course I'm enterprising, but I don't set goals for myself. Because the goal sounds very bitter, it is the feeling of running with my head stuffed, and I prefer to describe it with a good wish, that is, to go there while watching the scenery. ”
Therefore, let Liu Shishi look for it little by little, after all, such an actor with a peaceful mind is also very rare.
