Love twists and turns
In the play, the love between Fang Xueming and Guo Qiwen is twisted and turned, the same is broad, Guo Qiwen is different from his brother, he is elegant and noble, always silently accompanied when Fang Xueming's career and feelings are blocked, at that time Zhang Jiahui is also a newcomer, polite and polite, Polite and elegant, very handsome, the most valuable thing is that his love is selfless, and finally knows that Fang Xueming's ex-husband is desperate to save her, afraid that Fang Xueming will be embarrassed, took the initiative to leave her, and it has been 6 years since he met again, although there is a eva who loves her very much around him. But once the sea was shipwrecked, his love could not tolerate a third person, fortunately after meeting Fang Xueming, the two were single again, the two looked at each other and smiled, walking on the beach hand in hand.
Although the story is a bit old, but the change of human nature, still applicable to the present, in the spotlight and the temptation of interests, how many people really hold on to their hearts and do not abandon their ideals? Life is varied, sometimes in a single thought.
In 26 years, the lives of the actors Zhang Jiahui, Wen Songxian and Liu Yuting also changed greatly, Zhang Jiahui changed his style after that, began to act in comedy, and later took the male route, and now he is a true film emperor, from the wrinkles on his face, hot Mandarin and occasional muscle photos, it is difficult to see his shadow in "Legend of the Phoenix" Guo Qiwen.
Wen Songxian later went to TVB to shoot, because of her exquisite facial features, often played more naughty and lively roles, such as "Amazing Shot", "Negotiator", "Four Talents in Gold", "Imperial Girl Flower", etc., some people ridiculed her and Wang Ziwen are very similar, they all belong to the petite faction, her baby face is very old, if you let her play a girl now, it should still be OK.
It may be that the entertainment environment at that time, people did not like villains, so everyone was very disgusted with Shen Yingying played by Liu Yuting, but this was enough to see Liu Yuting's acting skills, her atmospheric appearance, long hair fluttering, coupled with the big eyes of the gods, it was too amazing, compared to the green Wen Songxian, she was more feminine, and since then she has a wonderful interpretation in "Lover's Bodyguard", "Short Knife Line of Knife Song", "Xianhe Divine Needle", and quit the entertainment circle in 2005, which is a pity, but now she is already a strong woman of real estate tycoons.
"Legend of the Phoenix" is only 30 episodes, has already told the most brilliant life story of the four girls very completely, no water injection, no procrastination, no brain-dead plot, the story ups and downs, from now on, this is definitely a conscience drama!
