Where are the stars we chased in those years?
At the beginning of 2023, a TV series called "Hurricane" set off a nationwide craze for watching dramas, and the audience was immersed in the gripping plot and praised the superb acting skills of the actors in the play
This discovery, like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, stirred up memories of the stars we chased in those years, who were once the dazzling protagonists on the screen and the focus of attention, but where are they now?
Time flies by the martial arts male gods of those years
Time back to the beginning of the millennium, at that time it was the era when martial arts dramas were prevalent in the Chinese TV drama market, and the classic works of martial arts masters such as Jin Yong and Gu Long were put on the screen, and the vivid martial arts images jumped in front of them, which aroused the popularity of countless audiences
In that golden age of martial arts dramas, Huang Haibing and Wu Jian are undoubtedly one of the most dazzling stars, Huang Haibing has become the "male god of martial arts dramas" in the hearts of countless people with the role of Chen Jialuo in "Book of Swords and Enmity", and then, he starred in many popular martial arts dramas such as "Ping's Trace" and "Rebirth", and his popularity has soared
And Wu Jian became popular with the role of Qiao Linger in "Journey to the West", and then played two roles in Jin Yong's martial arts drama "Chivalrous Travel", and his superb acting skills left a deep impression on the audience
With the passage of time, the craze for martial arts dramas gradually subsided, and Huang Haibing and Wu Jian's acting careers also encountered a bottleneck, Huang Haibing missed the opportunity to star in Qiong Yao's drama "Huanzhu Gege", and Wu Jian was forced to give up multiple film contracts because of a report letter
When they returned to the audience's field of vision again, they were no longer the high-spirited young man, but played supporting roles in various film and television dramas
Times change: the former "four little students" and "CCTV first brother"
In the new century, the audience's aesthetics and preferences have changed, and the demand for high-quality dramas is growing
Yu Xiaoguang is known as the "CCTV queen male lead" for his outstanding performance in CCTV dramas such as "Mao Anying" and "Ordos Storm", while Yin Xiaotian is known as the "Four Little Masters of the Mainland" with Huang Xiaoming, Tong Dawei, and Nie Yuan, and the future is bright
Fate made people, Yu Xiaoguang caused the collapse of the "good man" personality because of his improper personal behavior, and his acting career plummeted, while Yin Xiaotian was involved in the "Knife Teaching" incident, although he finally proved his innocence, but his acting career was hit hard
Nowadays, they can only play supporting roles with few roles in some film and television dramas, which is embarrassing
Traffic is king, and the transformation of former child stars
After 2010, the era of "traffic is king" came, and the new generation of actors emerged in an endless stream, and the old actors had to face transformation
Cao Jun made his debut as a child star, and became a well-known child star with his outstanding performance in dramas such as "The Little Monk of True Life" and "Baolian Lantern".
Although Cao Jun starred in film and television works such as "The End of the Sea is the Grassland", it never caused much repercussions
Stick to the original intention and interpret the various states of life
From the former protagonists on the screen to today's obscurity, the experience of these actors is full of emotion, in the ever-changing entertainment industry, fame and fortune are like a passing cloud, only the love of performance is the driving force to support them to go on
As Wu Jian said on the set of "Hurricane": "The size of the role is not important, the key is that we are still persistent, there is no eternal peak on the road of acting, but as long as you can act, there is hope"
Whether it is Huang Haibing, Wu Jian, or Yu Xiaoguang, Yin Xiaotian, or Cao Jun, they have all experienced the highlight moments of their lives and have fallen to the bottom, but they have never given up their love for acting, and they are still working silently on the road of acting
Their stories are also a microcosm of thousands of ordinary people, the road of life is long and tortuous, full of unknowns and challenges, but as long as we always stick to our original intention, not afraid of difficulties, and move forward bravely, we will be able to create our own wonderful life
