On the three peak works of domestic sitcoms, "Family with Children" can be on a par with "Wulin Waichuan" and "I Love My Home".
In 2005, it reached the top with a rating of 2.3%, and it will be rebroadcast by TV stations almost every year, which not only became popular with Yang Zi and Zhang Yishan, two child stars, but also became a difficult mountain for domestic sitcoms.
Even many years later, the original director Lin Cong and screenwriter Li Jianhong found Zhang Yishan to remake "Family with Children Growing Up", which is difficult to surpass.
Today, it has been 16 years since "Family with Children" was broadcast, and the post-90s generation who chased the drama at that time have experienced college entrance examinations, work, and even marriage and family.
Looking at the current situation of several small leading actors, Yang Zi has become the "top stream" of 90 actresses, Zhang Yishan has experienced controversy after the word-of-mouth "Residual Sin" and "Deer DingJi", while You Haoran has almost "disappeared" and only filmed a drama every few years.
In addition to the protagonists of "Summer Rain, Summer Snow, Summer Hail", how are the child stars who have a glimpse of the supporting roles? Let's take a look at the current situation of the 12 child stars in the play!
First, the "keyboard" Sheng Guansen
First of all, let's talk about Liu Xing's two good buddies: "keyboard" and "mouse". The "keyboard" person, as its name suggests, is a computer master, once with the mouse, dressed as a "masked man" to help Liu Xing play a "hero to save the United States".
Played by Sheng Guansen, born in Beijing on July 4, 1993, he can be regarded as a "model" of growing up and counterattacking. Not only surpassed Zhang Yishan, but also became the face value of "Family with Children", but also walked steadily on the professional road.
Sheng Guansen played a very wide road, playing the special soldier Qiao Er in the military drama "Snowy Eagle", also playing the crown prince clam in "The Legend of the Fish Pearl", and also starred in the "Chinese-style Relationship" in the second generation of The Golden Doudou.
For many viewers, the most impressive role of Sheng Guansen now is in Pan Yueming's version of "Angry Qing Xiangxi", playing partridge whistle's disciple "Old Foreigner".
When this character received the box lunch, many viewers were still distressed.
Sheng Guansen is versatile, good at music, dance, parkour, etc., and recently released his second single, which can be called the "all-round type" among post-90s male actors.
He got married early, got a license in 2016, held a wedding in 2018, and found a "mouse" Zhang Yiwen to officiate the wedding, this friendship is very long!
Second, the "mouse" Zhang Yiwen
"Mouse", a bit provocative, but very moralistic, in the plot once ran away from home and lived in Liu Xing's home.
Played by Zhang Yiwen, born in Beijing on May 27, 1994, is of Manchu ethnicity. He is very spirited, at the age of 5, he was discovered by Zhang Yimou to shoot advertisements, and also filmed "Dream Pastoral" directed by Wang Xiaoshuai.
In 2012, he was admitted to Nortel as he wished, and became a disciple of Zhang Yishan and Yang Zi. After graduation, Zhang Yiwen has been playing supporting roles, although there are two well-known works, but it has always been tepid, until he starred in "Fu Si Nian" in "The Age of Awakening", and finally let people see his growth.
Compared with historical figures, it cannot be said that they are completely different, but only that they are "exactly the same".
Zhang Yiwen, 28 years old this year, is married, and the couple was randomly caught by the media on the street last year, comparable to "Liu Qingyun, a vegetable buyer". I hope that he will shoot the drama steadily and go to the road of a powerful actor.
Three, "Wild Boy" Marco
In 2015, "Flowers and Bones" exploded, and many loyal viewers of "Family with Children" found that the "killing sister" who had a variety of styles killed Que Mo, was not the "wild boy" who pretended to be Xia Xue's boyfriend?
Marco was born on February 9, 1990 in Shangqiu, Henan Province, in the 2008 acting department of the Central Academy of Drama, and was in the same class as Lan Yingying and Gao Weiguang.
At the age of 9, Marco debuted with the "young Puyi" in the historical drama "Sun Yat-sen", with a handsome appearance and a "beautiful teenager".
In addition to "Family with Children", Marco and Yang Zi also partnered in "Diary of Boys", "Boys and Girls", and "Three Classes and Five Classes", and was one of the most well-known child stars at that time.
As an adult, he gained a firm foothold in the hearts of audiences with "Flowers and Bones". However, after Marco played "Kill Sister" and became popular, the quality of the work was somewhat uneven -
For example, "Aurora Love" of "Dog Blood Idol Drama", the Douban score is only 2.3 points; there is also the historical drama "Si Meiren", the Douban score is only 3.2 points. This has undoubtedly affected Marco's current drama and reputation.
At the age of 31 this year, he has completed two major life events of starting a family and becoming a father: in 2019, he married the actor Wang Dani, who is 4 years older, and on April 19, he officially announced that he had a son, nicknamed "Little Pineapple". The couple once starred in "Sweet New Business".
For Marco now, life has entered a new stage, and it is also necessary to consider how to go in the future, after all, the role of "Killing Que Mo" is difficult to meet twice in a lifetime.
Fourth, "Duoduo" Duan Liyang
"Duoduo" and the wild boy appeared in the same unit of "Family with Children", due to Xia Xue's "role model", Xia Yu also found a "little girlfriend" for herself, that is, Duoduo.
Duan Liyang, the actor of "Duoduo", was born in Handan in 1993 and graduated from the Los Angeles Conservatory of Music.
Duan Liyang has hosted many CCTV evenings, also sang the theme song "Light of East Asia" at the opening ceremony of the East Asian Games, and sang with Cai Guoqing and Li Jiandu, and once starred in the TV series "Drive Away Your Melancholy" with You Haoran.
Now her career focuses on music, and she has released original singles such as "Homecoming" and "Electrocution in Love". Looking at her Weibo, life is very leisurely, and the daily life is almost all food and beauty.
I feel that she still enjoys this state, before the media broke the news that "Duo Duo has been singing, but unfortunately not out of the circle", Duan Liyang also sent Weibo self-ridicule "feel that there is a heart to the heart".
By the way, the cameo appearance of "Duoduo Daddy" in "Family with Children" is Han Tongsheng, who starred in "Circuit Prosecutor's Group" and "People's Property".
Fifth, "Jiajia" Yang Yunxi
"Jiajia" is the daughter of a fat aunt, who began to appear in "Family with Children 3".
Played by Yang Lixiao, born on July 18, 1992 in Jinhua, Zhejiang, graduated from Arizona State University and is now renamed Yang Yunxi.
She debuted at the age of 9 in "Ping Trace Shadow", because of her sweet and cute appearance, she participated in more than 50 film and television dramas, such as "Emperor Wu of Han", "Chu Han Fengyun", "Young Bao Qingtian 3" and "Breaking into Guandong".
She and Shi Xiaolong were the "first love CP" in the eyes of many audiences at that time, and the two of them cooperated in "Young Bao Qingtian 3", and Yang Yunxi played "Little Beaver".
Above: "Shaobao 3" Deng Chao, Yang Yunxi, Shi Xiaolong.
After 2013, Yang Yunxi stopped filming because of academic reasons, and it was not until 2018 that he made a comeback with "Emergency Department Doctor" and made a cameo appearance in "Luo Chunhua".
Female Big Eighteen Changes! Now that she has become a beautiful woman, I still look forward to Yang Yunxi's representative works that can prove himself more!
Sixth, "Qian Zhuangzhuang" Niu Junfeng
Niu Junfeng, in "Family with Children 4", plays Liu Xing's good buddy "Qian Zhuangzhuang", which is the "source" that triggers the contradiction between Liu Xing and the three brothers of mouse and keyboard, and now he has lost weight successfully, the whole person is angular, and the aura is also a lot sharper.
Born on December 1, 1992 in Beijing, he graduated from the China Academy of Performing Arts and studied Peking Opera for ten years.
Many people know Niu Junfeng, through the first season of "Actors Please Take Place", he defeated Wang Sen to win the annual championship.
Niu Junfeng is also a child actor, and in 2002, he debuted in "Family With a Car" at the age of 10. He has starred as the young Yang Jian in "Baolian Lantern Prequel", Xiao Man (co-starring with Yang Zi) in "Battle Changsha", Yu Wang Yuansong in "The Biography of Chu Qiao", Yu Gong Brother in "A Slight Smile is Falling City", and Zhao Zhiyong in "Hidden and Great".
Personally, I think that among the young male actors after the 90s, Niu Junfeng's acting skills can be said to be in the first echelon, although there is always a controversy about his performance of "too much force", but he has a strong explosive power, great potential, and the opportunity to become a good actor with deep roots.
7. "Donna" Guan Xiaotong
After the completion of the "Family with Children" tetralogy, in 2008, another "New Biography of Family with Children" was broadcast, from the main actor to the director and screenwriter, all the staff changed blood. Song Dandan and Gao Yalin no longer starred, and the story line was changed to "ancestral love".
Wu Ma and Zheng Peipei play their grandfather and grandmother, while Guan Xiaotong's granddaughter "Donna", like Xia Xue, is a school bully, proud and self-sufficient.
Guan Xiaotong was born in Beijing on September 17, 1997, and was admitted to the acting department of the Beijing Film Academy in 2016, and Zhou Ye, Guo Junchen and Liu Yitong were all classmates of hers.
As a child star, Guan Xiaotong started from a very high point, cooperated with chen Kaige, Zhang Yimou and other big directors at a young age, and also played the childhood of Cecilia Cheung and Zhao Wei in "Wuji" and "Painted Skin 2".
Above: Stills from "Wuji"
It gives the impression of being eccentric and especially good at playing rebellious girls.
In 2017, 20-year-old Guan Xiaotong won Magnolia's "Best Supporting Actress" with "Peng Jiahe" in "Mr. Good", defeating Wang Ziwen and Yang Zi of "Ode to Joy" and Hu Jing in "In the Name of the People".
In 2019, CCTV rated the "four small flower Dan after 95", all of which are child stars: Zhang Zifeng, Wen Qi, Guan Xiaotong and Zhang Xueying. However, compared with Zhang Zifeng, who has masterpieces such as "Tang Detective" series and "My Sister", and Wen Qi, who has "Golden Horse Best Supporting Actress", Guan Xiaotong is in urgent need of a masterpiece with a big reputation.
Because her series of works after "Mr. Good" such as "Aurora Love", "Sweet Critical Strike", "Phoenix Prisoner" are not well received, last year's movie "Half a Month Alice" only grossed more than 28 million yuan at the theater, and the Douban score was 3.6, she needed to choose the script well.
VIII. "Tang Xiaolong" Shi Yunpeng
"Tang Xiaolong" is the younger brother of the character "Donna" played by Guan Xiaotong in "The New Biography of Family with Children", a naughty bag, with his own "crooked reason", and is the "villain leader" in the class, almost the same as Liu Xing.
The actor, Shi Yunpeng, was born in Beijing on October 23, 1996, and graduated from the Communication University of China.
In 2004, When Shi Yunpeng was only 8 years old, he participated in "Warm Feelings" and won the "Most Loved Child Star Award of Rongcheng Audience" at the Fifth Children's Film Festival.
He has worked with many big-name artists, such as Andy Lau's apprentice in the movie "Future Police", father and son with Sun Honglei in "The Great Craftsman", and Chen Baoguo in "Age of Steel".

Now Shi Yunpeng, the most familiar character, should be "Ode to Joy" "Andy" (played by Liu Tao) brother "An Xiaoming", a teenager with autism.

Shi Yunpeng was admitted to Beijing Renyi after graduating from university, and being able to enter this "drama hall" shows that Shi Yunpeng is a fairly outstanding young actor, and perhaps he will grow into a literary and artistic acting school student in the future.
Nine, "Summer Snow" Dan lin
Let's talk about the protagonist group, in the "Family with Children" tetralogy, the "Xia Xue" actors in the first two parts are Yang Zi, and the last two are replaced by Ning Danlin due to yang Zi's academic tension in the middle school entrance examination.
Born on March 23, 1987 in Beijing, Ning Danlin, now renamed "Danlin", studied at the WCSPA Art Institute in Michigan, USA. In 1990, at the age of 3, she was in Pan Hong and Ge You's movie "Woman · Made its screen debut in TAXI Woman.
What is lamentable is that Yang Zi is "successful in Xia Xue", but Dan Lin is "defeated by Xia Xue". Because of the change of roles, the rumors surrounding Dan lin at that time were very outrageous.
Rumors say that she is the daughter of an investor, bringing capital into the group, and there are gossip rumors that "Yang Zi and her mother were kicked out of the crew in the middle of the night", in fact, Yang Zi himself clarified in the interview that she quit "Family with Children" because she had to take the middle school entrance examination in the third grade.
Moreover, the last two parts of "Family with Children" have also changed their screenwriters, and the plot has been changed to what happened during the re-reading period when the student bully Xia Xue accidentally failed to make the college entrance examination. Therefore, many viewers feel that Xia Xue's personality has "collapsed", but to tell the truth, Dan Lin's acting skills are still passed.
Dan Lin has been filming over the years, such as "Wild Duck", "Life and Death", "Execution of the Sword", "Born to the Sun", etc., but unfortunately there are too few works out of the circle.
She has also tried to change the drama and reshape her impression in the public mind with a "sexy" image, but it has not been successful.
Interestingly, Yang Zi and Dan Lin, after the two "Xia Xue" grew up, also cooperated once in the 2016 TV series "Big Wedding Fashion", and played a pair of "love enemies", which is also a kind of fate!
Nowadays, when it comes to "Xia Xue", most people first jump out of their minds is Yang Zi, and the name Dan Lin is little known, and it can only be said that "Xiaohong relies on herself, and Dahong relies on God".
10. "Summer Rain" is particularly Haoran
The three sisters and brothers of the Xia family each have their own "cuteness". The youngest child, "Summer Rain", is the cute responsibility in the play.
You Haoran, who plays Xia Yu, was born in Beijing on October 17, 1996, and is currently studying at the Beijing Film Academy, and is an alumnus of Yang Zi and Zhang Yishan. After taking the exam three times, it was not admitted until 2019, and it was not easy for the three sisters and brothers to "reunite" on campus.
Because when he was a child, he looked particularly cute, You Haoran began to shoot advertisements at the age of 3 and a half, and the well-known public service advertisement "In fact, parents are the best teachers of children", among which there is a "mother, wash your feet" child, it is him.
Child stars filming, most of them are out of "truth", crying is really crying, laughing is really laughing, so the transformation after adulthood is a hurdle, many child stars have not crossed this hurdle, and they are invisible.
Compared with Yang Zi and Zhang Yishan, You Haoran's road to "child star transformation" is very unsmooth, first of all, he has changed his fortune after he grew up, and secondly, he has failed the list twice, which has delayed his further study of acting skills.
After filming "Family with Children 4" in 2007, You Haoran's films became less and less, and he only made a play every two or three years, and during that time, he almost "disappeared" on the screen.
After being admitted to Nortel, You Haoran lost weight successfully, starring in "So Cute Us" last year, Douban scored 8.3, perhaps his "counterattack" is in the near future.
11. "Liu Xing" Zhang Yishan
"Liu Xing" is the "soul character" of "Family with Children", mischievous and funny, but also astute and cute, and is the "childhood male god" of many children.
Zhang Yishan is more because of his spirited performance, starting from a child star, he has walked very smoothly on the road of actors. Born in Beijing on May 5, 1992, at the age of 13, he became popular all over the country with "Family with Children", cooperated with Jackie Chan in 2009, and successfully entered the Nortel Performance Department with Yang Zi in 2010.
Zhang Yishan's three works have laid the foundation for his position as a young student in the first echelon of acting skills after the 90s: the debut of "Little Soldier Zhang Ga", the famous "Family with Children", and the successful transformation of "Residual Sin".
Above: "Little Soldier Zhang Ga"
Zhang Yishan's performance style after growing up is almost in line with the "Liu Xing" he created as a child: smart, agile and with a hint of cunning and black belly.
Therefore, his role in the role of "Yu Sin" and "Spring Wind Ten Miles, Not as Good as You" were well received.
However, in 2019, his partner Pan Yueming starred in the spy drama "The Man in the Bureau", which seemed "that taste is not right", and the exaggerated performance in "New Deer Ding" in 2020 attracted a bad review.
Zhang Yishan is now standing on the side of the 29-year-old, if he continues the current drama road, he will undoubtedly be "trapped", how to jump out of the current "stick"? It was something he was thinking about.
XII. "Summer Snow" Yang Zi
"Xia Xue" is not only the childhood goddess of Wang Jiaer, but also the childhood goddess of the post-90s children in the country. She is beautiful and smart, is recognized as a campus figure, the key is not nerds, lively and cheerful, versatile, in a word: perfect.
Yang Zi, born in Beijing on November 6, 1992, and Zhang Yishan are classmates of the 2010 acting undergraduate class of the Beijing Film Academy, and they can get to the position of "90 Flowers Top Stream" today, all because of their good acting skills.
Yang Zi's first work was Xiao Wanru, who starred in "The Secret History of Xiaozhuang" at the age of 10; at the age of 12, she was nominated for the Outstanding Child Actor Award at the 12th China Film Child Cow Awards with "Diary of a Girl"; at the age of 13, she became popular all over the country with "Family with Children".
In her acting career of more than ten years, she also established her position with three works: the debut of "The Secret History of Filial Piety", the famous "Family with Children", and the successful transformation of "Battle Changsha".
But as a child star is very popular, when Yang Zi wanted to take nortel, but was poured cold water by Song Dandan, suggesting that she not enter the industry. After Yang Zi was admitted to Nortel, she did experience a period of no drama.
Until he met director Kong Sheng, a Douban score of 9.1 "Battle Changsha" allowed Yang Zi to successfully jump out of the impression of "Xia Xue"; a ratings explosion drama "Ode to Joy" allowed Yang Zi to further broaden the drama road and go to a higher level.
Subsequently, several consecutive explosive dramas such as "Fragrant Honey Sinks Like Frost" and "Qingyunzhi" pushed Yang Zi to the first echelon of "90 Flowers", and from 2017 onwards, she has continuously appeared on the Forbes China Celebrity List, ranking 13th in 2020.
Personally, I am very optimistic about Yang Zi, and she can expect that she will walk very steadily in the future.
epilogue
Bao Bell and Mao Xiaotong also starred in the "Family with Children" series, but the role was too small and flashed.
Later, Bao Bell became famous with "To the Youth We Will Eventually Pass Away", and Mao Xiaotong shined with "Thirty Only".
Born in the post-90s, this group of child stars, who gathered together because of "Family with Children", are now scattered in the entertainment industry like stars.
In the past 16 years, some people have married and become parents; some people have almost "disappeared", in this rapidly changing entertainment circle, becoming the front wave washed on the beach by the back wave.
However, no matter how bright the child starlight ring shines, it is only a short stage of life, and living according to his dreams after growing up may be the real happiness.
