In May 2007, "Struggle" was broadcast on the Shanghai TV Drama Channel, setting off a viewing frenzy.
At that time, when Renren and buckle space were at their hottest, these social platforms were full of pictures and classic quotations related to "Struggle".
Among them, Milai, played by Wang Luodan, makes many girls who have just opened their hearts have a strong sense of substitution, and online sentences such as "there is a kind of affection called Milai" are widely spread.
"Struggle" is about the youth of the post-80s, who stand at the crossroads of life, face the choice of career and love, pass through the fog, and finally find the direction they belong.
From today's point of view, every character in it is absurd, worshiping gold and vanity, snatching love with a knife, and stepping on two boats, but the other side of them is that they are real and lovely, dare to be bold, and fearless.
The popularity of "Struggle" has put the careers of Tong Dawei, Ma Yili, Wenwen, Li Xiaolu and other actors up a ladder.
Now 15 years later, the 10 actors are in a big gap, two people have collapsed, and the female No. 5 has become the winner.
What have they been through all these years?
- First place: Tong Dawei | played Lu Tao
Before Tong Dawei took over the filming of "Struggle", he had already become popular with "Jade Guanyin".
Tong Dawei's temperament is warm as jade, which is inconsistent with Lu Tao's arrogance and uninhibited nature, and Zhao Baogang's choice of Lu Tao in his heart is Sun Honglei or Wang Zhiwen.
But Tong Dawei was soft and hard, and finally impressed Zhao Baogang.
The role of Lu Tao has his own male protagonist aura, he has two fathers, the biological father's family is rich, and the stepfather takes good care of him.
At the same time, he is also loved by two women, one is the dashing Charlene, and the other is the white and rich Millais.
No matter whether Lu Tao encounters difficulties in work or life, these four people will escort him.
In that era, Lu Tao was Prince Charming, good looking, capable, and well-off, but now, he wandered around two women, but he was a disgusting man.
In any case, Tong Dawei wants to use this role to take his career to a higher level.
After this drama, he took over "Our Youth With Nowhere to Put" and "Days Related to Youth", and ate the dividends of youth films.
Later, Tong Dawei was steady and steady, and had works with national popularity such as "Chinese Partner" and "Tiger Mother and Cat Father".
As the traffic actor occupies the market, Tong Dawei has also been squeezed to the edge of bad films, but in recent years, everyone has paid more attention to the actor's acting skills and reputation, and he has such popular dramas as "Little Shed", "Meritorious Service" and "Our Marriage".
Along the way, Tong Dawei is not a big hit, but he has no stains, acting skills online, good resources, and a happy family of five, which can be called a winner in life.
- Second place: Ma Yili | play Charlene
In 1998, Ma Yili graduated from the Shanghai Theater Academy, and after graduation, she starred in "Qiao Family Courtyard" and "Huan Zhu Gege Third Part", but always lacked a popular work.
The role of Charlene in "Struggle" is almost tailor-made for Ma Yili, and Zhao Bao just gave her this role as soon as he saw Ma Yili.
Charlene's origin is average, but she is beautiful and intelligent, and she can desperately fight for what she wants.
Even Lu Tao was snatched from her girlfriend, but she had a strong set of self-consistent logic and was not ashamed of it.
Charlene is the kind of person who shines when she stands in the crowd, and her arrogance and stubbornness make people can't help but want to explore her world.
It's not so much that Ma Yili is acting this role fascinatingly, but that she is just interpreting herself.
This drama made Ma Yili quickly popular, laying a solid foundation for her later career.
However, at that time, Ma Yili did not have the heart to fight for her career, she and the article were in love, and the two received high-profile certificates.
After marriage, Ma Yili's focus was on the family, giving birth to two daughters, and only occasionally came out to make a cameo.
It was not until 2014, when the article and the Yao Di East Window incident occurred, that Ma Yili suddenly woke up and regained control of his career.
"The First Half of My Life" and "Find You" allowed Ma Yili to win two post-film trophies, establishing her position in the show business circle.
In the past two years, her works have not been much, only two film and television dramas, "Qipao Beauty Detective" and "Love Myth", but the traffic and reputation are not satisfactory.
Some people feel sorry for Ma Yili, in fact, Ma Yili's ambition in her career has never been great, and what she longs for is a happy and complete family.
It's just a pity that the sky is not what people want, all the way stumbling, she will eventually reconcile with herself and become her own destination.
- Third place: The article | play Xiang nan
The article is 8 years younger than Ma Yili, who had just graduated from the Central Academy of Drama when he starred in "Struggle".
Zhao Baogang was able to find him, or Tong Dawei introduced him.
The role of Xiang Nan also has the shadow of the article to some extent.
A stupid boy who is stunned, has no plan for his career, but is very persistent about love.
After he fell in love with Yang Xiaoyun at first sight, he did not hesitate to let Yang Xiaoyun steal the household registration book to get married, but the married life was different from what Xiang Nan thought, and he could not bear the responsibility and bread in the marriage.
Such a southward, when in love is a good boyfriend, once it involves the family, the weakness and inferiority in his bones are shown.
This drama has given the article a piece of the show business circle, but he is not enough to catch up with Ma Yili's career height, so that when the two get married, he is sung again and again.
Maybe he was looked down upon, so he wanted to prove himself desperately.
After marrying Ma Yili, the article's career soared.
Film and television dramas such as "Snail Residence", "Ocean Paradise", "Walk and See", "Snow Leopard", "33 Days of Lost Love" and so on, let the article get the award soft.
Acting and directing well, he also directed a "Little Daddy", adding a fire to his good husband and father.
In the articles of those years, the love career double harvest, young and promising, making people eye-catching.
Unfortunately, the article is still too young to control the fame and fortune that comes to them.
Therefore, he chose to betray the marriage, and the farce of "see you on Monday" ruined his and Yao Di's star path.
Although Ma Yili chose to forgive the article and tried to pull him along in his career, the article collapsed.
In the first two years, he also made movies and guest TV series, and the market response was not good, so he gave up completely.
Perhaps it is not that he wants to give up, but that he has been abandoned by capital, so that there is no drama to play.
After divorcing Ma Yili, everyone thought that the article would come out again to shoot, and as a result, two or three years later, the article did not hand over a new answer sheet.
- Fourth place: Li Xiaolu | play Yang Xiaoyun
In 2007, Li Xiaolu was in a period of great spirits, her resources were bursting, and she was a regular guest in various romance films, idol dramas and urban dramas.
Although there is no absolutely classic masterpiece, but at the age of 17, he won the Pride of Heaven after the Golden Horse Shadow, and everyone had to look up.
Yang Xiaoyun is the only one of the four girls in the play who is married, but she is the most innocent and lively.
She longed for the ideal partner, but chose to go south with nothing, although she hated each other in her mouth, but she really loved each other in her heart.
Compared with Charlene and Millais, Yang Xiaoyun is the simplest and most direct, her joys and sorrows are hanging on her face, some self, but cute.
This role is very suitable for Li Xiaolu, and many people have a good feeling for Li Xiaolu because of Yang Xiaoyun's personality.
There is no doubt that At that time, Li Xiaolu was always a girlish look, sweet and cute, and quite popular with the audience.
After acting in this play, Li Xiaolu still lingered in the drama of her mother-in-law, playing an effortless role, not arguing, and the years were quiet.
In 2010, Li Xiaolu and Jia Nailiang married and had a daughter, completing the two most important things in their lives.
After marriage, Li Xiaolu was even happier, Jia Nailiang held her in the palm of her hand, and she could unscrupulously be a princess with her daughter.
On the career, Li Xiaolu really has no ambition, more often, she is like an Internet celebrity, which also makes her often criticized.
However, the influencer style is only a personal preference, and it is not a big mistake.
Who would have thought that a "night at the door" would make Li Xiaolu's happiness a bubble, and after the public opinion carnival, only the ground was left in chaos.
In recent years, Li Xiaolu has disappeared from the entertainment industry, but she has not been devastated by this.
She began to find another way, open an online store, learn to dance, share skin care and wear, and live like an Internet celebrity, but more relaxed than an Internet celebrity.
When she is over forty years old, she still does not have too many traces of age, and the mark of the girl seems to be welded to her.
- Fifth place: Wang Luodan | played Millais
Zhao Baogang originally wanted Wang Luodan to play Lu Lu, but Wang Luodan insisted on playing Millais, and she thought she was more like Millais.
Sure enough, this role made Wang Luodan out of the circle.
When "Struggle" was popular, except for Ma Yili and Tong Dawei, all the limelight was stolen by Wang Luodan, and in the final analysis, it was Still Millais' personality.
Millais is a rich woman, but she does not have the arrogance of Miss Big Household, but is righteous, even in the face of Charlene, who snatched her boyfriend, she will help.
The most touching thing is that her feelings for Lu Tao, Lu Tao betrayed her, she did not immerse herself in personal pain, but did not reciprocate to help him.
It is precisely because of Milai's kindness and optimism that it has gained a lot of audience pain.
In that era, all the girls who could not be loved easily assumed the role of Millais, thus having an overwhelming number of affectionate quotes about Millais.
The role of Millais also set the tone of Wang Luodan's acting road: a stubborn chick who does not accept defeat.
After "Struggle", Wang Luodan's performance in "Who Decides My Youth" and "Dulala Promotion" is still good.
She not only became the Goddess of the Golden Eagle, but also together with Huang Shengyi, Yang Mi and Liu Yifei, she was called the New Four Little Flower Dan in the mainland.
However, Wang Luodan's flowering period is very short, and after a few years of prosperity, her own shortcomings will come out.
Her facial features are exquisite, but with a touch of bluntness, the ancient costume has no classical beauty, and she has become the ugliest Wei Zifu in history.
At the same time, she also has a strong opponent Bai Baihe, the two are extremely similar, and the drama path is also similar, resulting in the two people being constantly compared.
In the field of public opinion, these two people fought openly and secretly, and also contributed a lot of topics.
Later, Bai Baihe quickly ascended to the throne with several good box office movies and squeezed out Wang Luodan's living space.
The transformation is not successful, his own strength and resources are not hard enough, and Wang Luodan's situation can only stay in a tepid state.
- Sixth place: Zhu Yuchen | played Huazi
Zhu Yuchen is an actor with an attitude, he once said:
"I have always acted with a conscience, sometimes it may not be close to people, such as a friend who comes to me to play a love drama, if the role does not like, I will also refuse; Sometimes the role of male number one comes to me, but I may like male number two more after reading the script, so I will play male number two. ”
The purity and stubbornness in his bones doomed Zhu Yuchen's fate.
Zhu Yuchen ran for several years to receive the "Struggle", the role of Huazi is very suitable for him, full of enthusiasm, and dares to pursue what he wants for love and career.
His personality has fluctuated greatly, and his heart is heavy on righteousness, and he is an object worthy of deep friendship.
"Struggle" gave Zhu Yuchen a taste of fame, and Zhao Baogang admired him very much, and let him star in "Who Decides My Youth".
Two popular dramas directly sent him to the male number one of "Home's Nth Power".
But Zhu Yuchen's peak moment is limited to this, he is not willing to cater to the entertainment industry, he only wants to act steadily.
The reality is cruel, you do not pursue fame and profit, you are not willing to compromise, your position will be squeezed little by little.
As a result, the Zhu Yuchen we see has been hovering in the position of supporting roles for so many years, even if he has solid acting skills, it is difficult to be seen.
- Seventh place: Xu Fanxi | play Lu Lu
"Struggle" is Xu Fanxi's debut work, when she was still called Xu Cuicui.
Learning dance since she was a child, she thought that she would always make a living from dance, but she did not expect that yin and yang were mistakenly admitted to the Beijing Film Academy, thus embarking on the road of acting.
Lu Lu's role is the saddest of the four female characters, her father died early, and there is a deaf and dumb brother in the family, she went to the big city alone to complete her father's last wish of "a family together for a lifetime".
But Lu has no strengths, no ability to make money, but learned bad entertainment skills, such as playing billiards, singing, shopping.
Such a girl who wants to change her fate can only pin on men, she first changed a place with Huazi, and at first she started a business with Huazi, but she was not satisfied with such a life.
After meeting Hanako's brother Pig Head, Lu Lu quickly empathizes, because Pig Head is rich enough to shelter her family from the wind and rain.
Such a person is definitely the most topical today, but at that time, it did not make much splash.
After Xu Fanxi debuted with this drama, she has always been in a supporting role position, she is Mi Yin in "The Legend of Mi Yue", and she is the teacher in "Little Joy".
In 2016, she played the only leading role, Zhang Duoduo in "Ordinary Years", but this drama has word of mouth and no traffic.
For Xu Fanxi, there is no big hit, just treat acting as a job, do not have to bear too much disturbance, perhaps it is also a good life.
- Eighth place: Zhou Xiaoou | played the pig head
When it comes to Zhou Xiaoou, most people will think of the zero point band, which is the song "Do You Love Me".
In the 1990s, Zhou Xiaoou and the Zero Point Band went purple with "pop rock".
After entering the new century, rock music began to decline, the Chinese music scene was impacted by talent singers, coupled with the members of the zero point band and internal problems, Zhou Xiaoou could not engage in music, and could only switch to film and television dramas.
So, we see the role of the pig's head in "Struggle".
This role does not have many scenes, but it shows Zhou Xiaoou's acting talent.
Pig Head is a down-to-earth businessman and an open man, and after he fell in love with Lu Lu, he did not carry Huazi behind his back, told him truthfully, and insisted on getting Huazi's forgiveness.
Pig Head is responsible for love, but also dares to face his heart, he is not perfect, the level of education is not high, but the way of dealing with people is admirable.
The popularity of "Struggle" made Zhou Xiaoou eat the bowl of rice of the actor.
The following year, he quit Zero Point and devoted himself to acting.
Over the years, although Zhou Xiaoou has played supporting roles, he has participated in many film and television dramas, such as "Sweeping Black Storm", "Mendi", and "One and a Half of the Summer".
His acting skills are pure and natural, and his performance is meticulous, and the industry calls him a "gold medal little man".
- Ninth place: Zhang Chenguang | play Xu Zhisen
Zhang Chenguang's golden age was in Taiwan in the 1980s and 1990s, and classic Taiwanese dramas such as "Love and Righteousness Are Priceless" and "Four Young People in Beijing" made him popular all over the country.
After middle age, he focused his career on the mainland.
In "Struggle", Zhang Chenguang plays Xu Zhisen, Lu Tao's biological father, a chairman with a wealthy family.
But his personality is very controversial, abandoning his wife and children when he was young, and after success, he returned to seek his son's forgiveness.
Of course, Xu Zhisen also paid the price in the end, facing the disease, but he could only bear it alone.
Zhang Chenguang has a kind of nobility in his body, so there is no sense of violation in playing such roles.
Over the years, the roles he played also stayed in the single role of "father" and "successful businessman".
"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", "Ode to Joy 2", "That Year the Flowers Bloomed and the Moon Was Round" and so on, can be called his representative works.
Eating a lifetime by a type of role is also an actor's skill.
- Tenth place: Chen Yihan | play Fang Lingshan
That year, Chen Yihan had just debuted, and "Struggle" was her second TV series.
Although she is a female No. 5, she kicked open the door of the mainland showbiz circle.
Chen Yihan plays Fang Lingshan, she is from a very good background, has no worries about food and clothing, looks cute, and everyone calls her "Little Spirit Fairy".
Her appearance made Lu Tao and Xiang Nan, who were deeply trapped in the whirlpool of feelings, recognize their hearts.
Judging by current values, Fang Lingshan has the attribute of green tea, and seems to be ignorant of the world, but it is easy to mess up people's hearts.
But in that era, she was the representative of a simple girl.
It is this role that has laid a solid foundation for Chen Yihan's career.
Later, she developed in both the mainland and Taiwan, and her works such as "Hero of the Leper", "Hearsay", and "Paradise in the Army" laid the foundation for Chen Yihan's national popularity.
Along the way, Chen Yihan has also had a lot of dew love, but in 2018, she fell in love with Taiwanese director Xu Fuxiang.
After marriage, Chen Yihan gave birth to a son and a daughter, and also went on the variety show "Happiness Trio" with Xu Fuxiang and sprinkled a handful of dog food on the audience.
Some female celebrities are prone to withering after getting married and having children, but Chen Yihan still loves sports and adventure, and is still the energetic girl before.
Even the change of her new identity has not stopped her pursuit of her career.
In recent years, she has also handed over works such as "Those Things They Started a Business" and "Love Under the Stars".
Chen Yihan is not an actor from the class, and it is not easy to get to this day with that aura and stubbornness.
Everyone thought that she did not belong to marriage, but she quietly had a full home and lived happier than anyone else.
Chen Yihan is complex and changeable, she has a soft and sticky appearance like a small sheep, but in fact, she has her own pursuits in her heart, and the people and things she aims at can always win.
Her persistence, endurance and talent have created a fuller life for her.
- The girl said
15 years later, looking at the situation of these 10 actors in "Struggle", it is really regrettable.
The original red and purple article and Li Xiaolu still failed to catch the good luck given to them by heaven, and after the ups and downs of Vanity Fair, it was finally a bamboo basket to hit the water.
And the female number five, Chen Yihan, has transformed from that soft and cute girl into a big heroine and has her own full life.
There is a line in "Struggle":
"Life is fickle, like our growth. After graduating from college, we all fought hard for our dreams and struggled hard, but we gradually became indifferent and complicated in reality. ”
Several young men and women in the TV series have found a way to survive after being wrapped up in the torrent of reality.
These actors are not, in the struggle and choice, to go to a completely different path.
We can't simply and rudely measure right and wrong, high and low, floating and heavy, is the truth of life. (End)
