"Special Combat Glory" ended successfully, and I was still unfinished about the military drama, so I opened "I Am a Special Soldier" again to watch it again.
After the series was launched, it set a record for the highest rating at the time and was rated as one of the top ten TV dramas in China in 2011.

As a military drama, "I Am a Special Soldier" can be described as unique.
Whether it is the setting of the characters or the layout of the plot, the restoration of the authenticity of the life of the mysterious Special Forces forces.
Moreover, the fight scenes in the play, as well as the mysterious weapons and equipment, are very much in line with the tastes of young people, and have become one of the enlightenment dramas for many people to join the army and serve the country.
It can be said that "I Am a Special Soldier" has achieved a mixture of water and milk in form and content.
As a result, the producers have launched many spin-off dramas, such as "I Am the Blade of the Special Forces", but they are not as classic as the first one.
After 11 years, the group of stars in "I Am a Special Soldier" have long gone their separate ways, and their fates are not the same.
1. Gu Zhixin
Zhuang Yan's becoming a special soldier was definitely an accident.
Originally, Zhuang Yan was a freshman in college, and later in order to follow Xiaoying, the first love girlfriend of Qingmei Zhuma, he took a break from school to join the army.
Unexpectedly, after entering the military camp, after continuous training and training, he became a member of the Lone Wolf Special Commando Of the Wolf Tooth Special Brigade, code-named "Siberian Wolf".
And Gu Zhixin, who played Zhuang Yan, also remembered the audience deeply because of the drama "I Am a Special Soldier".
Born in 1978, Gu Zhixin showed amazing acting talent from an early age, and with the support of his family, he developed in the direction of an actor.
So in 1998, Gu Zhixin was taken over by director Li Senxiangzhong to shoot the TV series "Camel Xiangzi", and since then began his acting career.
Although Gu Zhixin subsequently starred in many film and television works, his role was relatively fixed, and he was labeled as a "literary youth".
As a result, the drama road is also hindered, and an opportunity is urgently needed to break this stereotype.
So in 2011, Gu Zhixin stood out among many candidates and won the role of Zhuang Yan in "I Am a Special Soldier".
What people did not expect was that it was the drama "I Am a Special Soldier" that not only made him take off the label of "literary and artistic youth", but also made Gu Zhixin's acting career go to a higher level.
Suddenly, Gu Zhixin became the darling of domestic dramas, and in just 2 years, he took over 7 TV series.
However, during the filming of "Soldiers Out of TongGuan", Gu Zhixin accidentally fell off his horse and caused his spine to be damaged, and he was unable to stand for a while.
This is undoubtedly a big blow to a man who has just achieved a small achievement and is ready to get married immediately.
Fortunately, during the darkest period of Gu Zhixin's life, his fiancée did not abandon him.
Unexpectedly, in just over a year, Gu Zhixin slowly returned to normal and his life returned to the right track.
Later, Gu Zhixin continued to star in several TV series, and then decided to stop filming.
After that, Gu Zhixin returned to the family and gave birth to a lovely son with his wife, a proper winner in life.
2. Xu Jia
As Zhuang Yan's recruit squad leader, Zheng Sancang's requirements for recruit training are very strict.
Later, after passing the special training selection and joining the Lone Wolf Special Commando, he became the Lone Wolf B Group DemolitionIst, nicknamed the Old Cannon, code-named "Mountain Wolf".
In my opinion, the role of Zheng Sancang is a typical "soldier king" image.
As a regular guest of military dramas, Xu Jia played many heroic roles of "blood without tears", showing his extraordinary personal charm and acting strength, leaving a deep impression on the audience.
In "Sharp Blade Out of sheath", he is Wang Yanbing, a "little bastard" full of rage.
In "Fire Phoenix", he is a serious instructor who does not smile and "Thunder War".
In fact, throughout Xu Jia's entire acting career, he appeared on the screen as a tough guy.
But who would have thought that before becoming famous, Xu Jia ran a dragon set for nearly 10 years.
The reason is that Xu Jia's appearance is too positive, which is both his advantage and his obstacle.
However, even if Xu Jia wants to hold her position in the military drama, she also needs to face various tests.
At that time, Wu Jing, who starred with him in the "I Am a Special Soldier" series, had already been out of the circle.
Xu Jia also wanted to try different styles in the past, but the response was mediocre, and she did not find a suitable work and role.
In life, Xu Jia, who has been debuting for 21 years, has always been peaceful and keeps to herself, and has not spread any gossip.
Although he has been in the film for many years, he often posts small videos on social platforms to record his life.
3. Ren Kono
Ren Kenuo, who plays Deng Zhenhua, is a lone wolf B group sniper, nicknamed paratroopers, ostriches, code-named "big tail wolf".
Before entering the special forces, Deng Zhenhua was a sniper in the reconnaissance company of the "Eagle Division" of the airborne troops, with a cheerful and confident personality.
Because of this, Ren Kono became the funny person in charge of the entire Special Forces squad, taking on the laughter of the whole play.
Although in the play, Ren Kono does not look too outstanding, but in reality, he is a 188cm handsome guy.
Especially after putting on the military uniform, the hand and foot are crisp and clean, very bold.
Graduated from the People's Liberation Army Academy of Arts, Ren Kono played a soldier, naturally handy.
However, after "I Am a Special Soldier", Ren Kono's play path did not open up because of this.
On the contrary, after starring in 3 TV series, he suddenly stopped his acting career.
It was not until 2021 that it returned to the audience's vision, but the response to the work was mediocre.
Some people say that the role of Deng Zhenhua is too classic, so it seems that it is not unreasonable to hinder his play path.
4. Lang Feng
Shi Dafan may be the best person in the special squad.
He came from a family of traditional Chinese medicine, martial arts, and military doctors, and before entering the special forces, he was a hygienist in an amphibious reconnaissance company of a brigade of the Marine Corps.
Later, Shi Dafan became a lone wolf B group hygienist and observer, code-named "bald-tailed wolf".
Don't look at Shi Dafan who looks a little cute, but in fact, his personality is wise and foolish, and he has formed the best partner with Deng Zhenhua.
In real life, the relationship between Lang Feng and Ren Konuo is particularly good, and the two often perform together.
Compared with several other leading actors, Lang Feng is not too concerned about the profession of actor, and there are not many movies he has acted in, and most of his roles are supporting roles.
Therefore, it can be said that "I Am a Special Soldier" is the only work that Lang Feng can get his hands on.
5. Fu Chengpeng
Although Qiang Xiaowei is the second striker of The Lone Wolf Group B, his strength is definitely not weaker than Zhuang Yan.
In the play, before he entered the special forces, he was the squad leader of the eighth company of steel of a certain unit of the People's Liberation Army.
After retiring from the military, he became a special police officer and formed and served as the leader of the Black Hawk Special Operations Group to deal with violent crime and emergencies in the city.
After "I Am a Special Soldier", Fu Huanming played the role, still based on the positive energy image of the military theme and the spy war theme, and the acting skills gradually won the recognition of the audience.
In the play, he is very dedicated, and there is no trace of performance in acting.
Outside the play, he is calm and elegant, and he does public welfare and charity and is low-key and unobtrusive.
In 2018, Fu Chengpeng met his current wife, Zhou Liqi.
If you like to watch Hong Kong dramas, then you must be familiar with Zhou Liqi.
However, the news of the marriage of the two has brought in a flood of scolding, and the former "good husband" has become a scumbag.
As a result, Fu Chengpeng's drama path was also blocked, and there was no improvement.
6. Hou Yong
In 2017, Hou Yong played the director Zhao Dehan in "The Name of the People", which made me know this actor.
When I looked at "I Am a Special Soldier" again, I found that he was actually the captain of the Wolf's Tooth Special Brigade, code-named "Wolf Head".
As a national first-class actor, Hou Yong has starred in many familiar TV series.
Although he has long been famous, Hou Yong still maintains a simple nature and treats every scene conscientiously.
It is said that he once filmed seven parts of a TV series with more than fifty episodes in 365 days a year, running around the set crew day and night, and all kinds of hardships can be imagined.
7. Yang Shuo
Although Yang Shuo plays a villain in the play, this role makes people love and hate.
Since his debut, Yang Shuo has broken through his own piece of the show business with his sunny and handsome appearance, tall and burly figure, and skillful acting skills.
He always has his own unique views on the degree of character selection.
He can not only control the tough guy image of the military drama, but also play the domineering president in the idol drama.
In recent years, one of the most impressive TV series he has acted in is Ode to Joy 2.
Yang Shuo raised his hands and feet, showing the deep charm of a mature man, showing his natural and skillful acting skills.
At the hottest time, Yang Shuo was once considered a first-line star.
However, in life, Yang Shuo was exposed by netizens to some rumors, although it was not confirmed whether it was true, but it had a great impact on his reputation.
Although works are still born every year, it is clear that there is no previous glory.
It seems that as a public figure, acting skills and private morality are very important.
8. Wang Kuirong
When watching "The Dragon Ridge Labyrinth of Ghost Blowing Lights", I have always felt familiar with Chen Blind zi as an actor.
Later, after reading the cast list, isn't this the big villain Ma Shichang in "I Am a Special Soldier"?
Also as a national first-class actor, Wang Kuirong's superb acting skills are obvious to all.
It can play both the righteous and awe-inspiring old criminal policeman, but also the fierce and sinister gangster boss, and the screen image that is sometimes positive and sometimes evil is talked about by many audiences.
Although on the screen, Wang Kuirong is always serious and cold, but in life, he is an amiable person.
Who would have thought that Wang Kuirong made a major decision when he was 40 - to become an actor.
Although Teacher Wang Kuirong is 72 years old, in order to play his own role, the old man still insists on going to Weiya by himself, and many scenes are personally played by himself.
With the passage of time, the fate of the actors in the play has changed a lot.
Some actors choose to stay in the film, and some are still active on the screen.
Although everyone's choice was different later, they were all proud to star in "I Am a Special Forces Soldier".
In general, "I Am a Special Soldier" has an innate humanistic feeling in the hearts of many audiences.
This kind of artistic quality is scarce in the current TV series.
