China Academy of Theatre (Chinese Theatre), together with Beijing Film Academy and Shanghai Theatre Academy, is known as one of the three major performing schools in China. These three schools have produced most of the well-known actors, and many of them have "star classes".
In 2002, Chinese opera ushered in a group of new students full of dreams, and they were the 02-level acting class of Chinese opera, which later attracted much attention.
This class is divided into three small classes: film and television class, musical theater class, and drama class, although they are different, because they are all learning to act, and they often take classes together, so everyone calls them acting classes.
At that time, they may not have foreseen that this class would become a legend in the entertainment industry, not only because of the many dazzling stars born among them, but also because their life stories are comparable to the wonderful scripts on the screen.
From Bai Jing, Article, Tong Yao to Bai Baihe, to Yang Shuo, Mao Junjie, as well as Tang Yan, Guo Zhenni, Lan Xi, etc., the students in their class have experienced many ups and downs, joys and sorrows, and will continue to compose embarrassing and amazing "big dramas" in their own way in the future.
Their stories, extending from the campus to the entertainment industry, from inside the screen to off the screen, are full of drama.
As their teacher, Liu Tianchi, said, there are many students in this class who are very aura, talented and willing to work hard, and are likely to become big stars in the future. However, who would have thought that behind the bright star journey, what awaits them will be such ups and downs in life? Let's walk into this star class and explore their respective wonderful life trajectories.
Among the many students in the 02 acting class, Wen Wen and Bai Baihe are undoubtedly the first two to become famous. The article's star journey can be described as a smooth journey, and he has been known as "Ma Yili's boyfriend" before he graduated.
After graduation, his career is even more prosperous, and he has starred in hit dramas such as "Struggle", "Snail House", "Snow Leopard", "Naked Marriage Era", and quickly became a powerful actor loved by the audience.
The talent of the article was brought into play after becoming an actor, and it has a brilliant performance in both TV series and movies. For example, the movie "Ocean Paradise" in which he participated received a good reputation, and works such as "Thirty-three Days of Broken Love" and "Journey to the West" were box office hits.
In addition to the role of an actor, the article was not satisfied with this, and began to try directing, and the self-directed and self-starred TV series "Little Dad" became one of the hit dramas of the year.
Compared with the article, Bai Baihe's road to fame is slightly tortuous. She married Chen Yufan the year after graduation and gave birth to a son. In the first few years after graduation, Bai Baihe devoted more time and energy to his family, and rarely produced works.
It wasn't until after his son went to school that Bai Baihe began to devote himself to his acting career.
Bai Baihe's "chick" movie road began with the movie "Thirty-three Days of Broken Love" with her classmates, which made her popular overnight. Subsequently, she starred in "Monster Hunt" and "Get Out!" Films such as "Tumor Jun" have achieved a bumper harvest at the box office and word of mouth, and Bai Baihe has become the highest-grossing actress in the mainland.
These two classmates have a bright star and a bright future, and people generally have high hopes for them, but who would have thought that their life script is far from reaching the climax? The success of the article and Bai Baihe seems to indicate that the 02 acting class will become the cradle of a new generation of stars.
However, a twist of fate is quietly brewing, waiting for how many untold stories are hidden behind the glitz of the entertainment industry that will give them a heavy blow in the future, and this is only the beginning of the legend of the 02 acting class.
When the article and Bai Baihe were shining brightly, their classmate Bai Jing fell into a complex and tragic emotional whirlpool. Bai Jing, as an actor with great aura, performed particularly well.
Her teacher Liu Tianchi is very optimistic about her future and firmly believes that she can become a big star, however, the tragic fate is doomed.
In her junior year, Bai Jing met Zhou Chenghai, who was more than ten years older than her. Although she knew that Zhou Chenghai was married, Bai Jing, who was eager to succeed, chose to be with him. Zhou Chenghai divorced his original wife for Bai Jing's sake, and married Bai Jing after graduation.
After marriage, Zhou Chenghai was very fond of Bai Jing, fully supported her career, invested in filming for her, and met her various needs.
With the full support of Zhou Chenghai, Bai Jing's acting career is like a sesame seed blossoming. The role of "Suisui" played in "Scarlet Xiangxi" is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the smart and lovely image has left a deep memory on the audience.
Later, her performance in the movie "Iron Man" was even more exciting, and she was successfully nominated for the Hundred Flowers Award for Best Actress At the same time, her classmates are still working hard to play tricks, Bai Jing has successfully ascended to the throne of the heroine, and her future is bright.
However, Bai Jing didn't enjoy a proud life for long, and fate played a cruel joke on her. She met Qiao Yu, who claimed to be a high-ranking kid in the gym, and Zhou Chenghai introduced him to Bai Jing.
Who knew that this became a wolf into the house, Qiao Yu and Bai Jing hooked up, the two deceived Zhou Chenghai, and also deceived Zhou Chenghai of nearly 10 million investment under their coaxing.
In order to break with Zhou Chenghai, Bai Jing and Qiao Yu designed to make Zhou Chenghai contract venereal disease. On the road to desperation, Bai Jing filed for divorce on the grounds of Zhou Chenghai's chaotic personal life, and asked him to "leave the house", intending to obtain two properties and stocks in his name.
When Zhou Chenghai finally discovered the truth, all efforts had failed, and under the blow of his mother's death in a row, the exhausted Zhou Chenghai revealed his last wishes to his ex-wife and brother on the phone when he received the court summons, and sighed "She is too ruthless."
One night in 2012, Zhou Chenghai waited for 29-year-old Bai Jing and stabbed him three times to death. Then Zhou Chenghai committed suicide, and the couple both died, unfolding a wealthy tragedy.
Afterwards, Qiao Yu admitted to setting up a setup, but claimed that many things were planned by Bai Jing. He was sentenced to 11 years for fraud, and the tragedy came to an end. Bai Jing's story has become the most tragic scene of this star class, and it has also cast a shadow on the entire entertainment industry.
This not only ended the life and career of a young actor, but also made people see the complexity and cruelty of human nature in Vanity Fair.
Tong Yao and Mao Junjie in the 02 acting class, their experiences are equally eye-catching, full of controversy and twists and turns.
Tong Yao was famous for her "topicality" when she was a student. In her sophomore year, her boyfriend, Zhang Mo (Zhang Guoli's son), beat her up in public, and the incident quickly attracted national attention because it happened at a well-known institution of Chinese opera.
What's even more shocking is that this beating incident also involved the "improper" relationship between Tong Yao and Huang Dingyu, the head of the department.
In the rumors at that time, Tong Yao had an inexplicable relationship with Huang Dingyu, the director of the Chinese Opera Department, which made Zhang Mo unbearable and beat people. In fact, Chinese opera stipulates that first-year students are not allowed to go out to take on dramas, and Tong Yao not only filmed "Lin Hai Xueyuan", but also did not receive any punishment, all of which are considered to have a close relationship with Huang Dingyu.
Subsequently, the situation developed further, and Tong Yao accused Huang Dingyu of sexual assault. Huang Dingyu was arrested, but released on bail pending trial due to insufficient evidence for rape. These events led to a number of results: Zhang Mo was expelled from Chinese opera, Huang Dingyu resigned from his position as head of the acting department of Chinese opera, and Tong Yao continued to study in Chinese opera.
These controversies had a serious impact on Tong Yao's image and career, even though she won the first place in Chinese opera in the exam at that time, she still couldn't receive any drama appointments.
It wasn't until she met her current husband Wang Ran that Tong Yao's career began to gradually get on the right track, and she successfully became popular with works such as the TV series "The Legend of Ruyi", "Dajiang Dahe" and "Thirty Only".
Another classmate who is often embroiled in controversy is Mao Junjie. She was once famous for playing the big-breasted secretary Pei Na in "The Ugly Girl is Invincible", but she has not had an impressive role since.
However, her controversy never stopped.
The most famous is the incident in which she made a big fuss at the airport. When passing through the security check, Mao Junjie's luggage was asked to be sampled, and during the inspection, she showed extreme impatience, urged the staff many times, and took pictures of the staff.
Subsequently, she exposed the matter online, but the description was very different from the actual situation, portraying herself as a victim.
However, the staff involved soon released the original video, revealing the truth. The video shows that the spot check was only a routine inspection and only lasted 9 minutes, while Mao Junjie took pictures in the no-photo zone and kept complaining.
After the truth was revealed, Mao Junjie immediately deleted the relevant blog post and apologized.
These events not only impacted the careers of Tong Yao and Mao Junjie, but also made people see the fragility and immaturity of newcomers in the entertainment industry in the face of the temptation of fame and fortune. Their experience has become another thought-provoking and emotional play in this "star class".
Many people think that the "big drama" of the 02 acting class has come to an end, but a bigger storm is brewing. The article and Bai Baihe, who once shined in the entertainment industry, and the rising star Yang Shuo, have encountered a serious image crisis in a short period of time.
In 2014, the article's "see you on Monday" incident ruined the image of a "good man" that he had carefully created for many years. He cheated on Yao Di during his wife Ma Yili's pregnancy, which led to the breakdown of his marriage and dealt a serious blow to his career.
Although he tried to make a comeback, the audience did not buy the film "Lu Yao Zhi Ma Li" directed by him, and the response was mediocre, and then he gradually faded out of the public eye.
In 2016, Bai Baihe suffered the "One Yang Finger Incident". Photos of her private meeting with Xiao Xianrou in Thailand were exposed, triggering accusations of cheating. Although her ex-husband Chen Yufan later said that they had divorced, both were accused of cheating the public because they had shown affection in variety shows.
Netizens revealed along the timeline that after the divorce, they also showed the appearance of a lotus lotus in a variety show, deceiving the public, and the wind reviews of the two instantly plummeted, which had a very serious impact on Bai Baihe's career, and the film and television works she starred in after had a mediocre response, and she could never return to her peak.
Although Yang Shuo became famous late, he quickly became popular by playing the role of "Xiao Bao Zong" in "Ode to Joy". However, his "greasy" image in urban dramas and romance dramas, as well as the frequent occurrence of negative news, caused his reputation to decline sharply.
From the education method questioned in the variety show "Where Are You Going, Dad", to the suspension of the crew due to asking for sky-high salaries, to being suspected of cheating (although there is no real hammer), these events have caused the audience's favorability towards him to plummet.
In addition, Yang Shuo once shaped the relationship between himself and his wife like a fairy couple, but his performance in variety shows was far from this. He has a strong sense of machismo and lacks respect and care for his wife, which makes the audience have a more negative impression of him.
In this dramatic class, everyone has their own unique trajectory in life. After experiencing the early turmoil, Tong Yao achieved a counterattack by marrying into a wealthy family, and is now the first double queen of 85 flowers.
However, her success has also been accompanied by controversy, with some questioning that her acting skills are far from being able to be seen.
Tang Yan is very well-known in the entertainment industry, but her acting skills have been controversial, which has hindered her career development to a certain extent. Her acting skills have always been the focus of discussion, and she often plays some silly and sweet roles, and has been criticized for her lack of professionalism.
Other classmates such as Guo Zhenni, Lan Xi, Li Zefeng and others have their own places in the entertainment industry. Guo Zhenni has played many supporting roles and has been recognized by the audience for her familiar acting skills, but faded out of the showbiz after 2016.
Lan Xi is very popular for his outstanding performance in "The Legend of Zhen Huan", but his unique aesthetic views often cause heated discussions Li Zefeng became popular because he played the role of "Xu Huanshan" in "Thirty Only", and was promoted from a small supporting role to the second male lead.
and Zhang Bo, although he is known as the Chinese opera school grass, his career development is not outstanding. Guo Jiaming's career gradually declined due to various negative news. Shen Jiani is married to actor Zhu Yawen, and Cao Xiwen is often called "Little Liu Tao" because of her similar appearance to Liu Tao, and there have been many news of "adding drama".
The experience of the students in the 02 acting class of Chinese opera shows the prosperity and loneliness of the entertainment industry, and the rotation of success and failure. Their stories tell us that in an ever-changing industry, today's peaks can turn into tomorrow's lows, and that today's struggles can also breed opportunities for tomorrow.
Everyone's story is a mirror, reflecting the reality of the entertainment industry, and it also gives us a deeper understanding and thinking about the life of stars.
