October 15 is the 21st year since the launch of "Looking for Qin", and as soon as TVB's 2001 celebration drama "Looking for Qin" was broadcast, it set a ratings record and became a TVB classic.
Later, TVB also broadcast this drama in the early hours of the morning, and it also reached a rating of 9 o'clock, indicating that about 500,000 viewers had to watch the drama even if they stayed up late, which shows its popularity.
▲ The highest-rated TVB drama in history (2001-2010), "Looking for Qin" firmly ranked first in 2001.
"Looking for Qin" is also the first TVB TV series to come to Hengdian for filming, which makes it have a majestic momentum that other TVB costume dramas do not have, and also made TVB people at that time realize that the resources and scale of film and television in the mainland are incomparable to the Hong Kong studio, and the desire of TVB film and television people to go north has since begun, it can be said that the relationship between "Looking for Qin" and the mainland is doomed to be not simple.
You must know that the movie "Jing Ke's Assassination of King Qin" (the film is directed by Chen Kaige, starring Gong Li, Zhang Fengyi, Li Xuejian, Sun Zhou, etc.) built an incomparably large Qin King Palace in Hengdian, covering an area of about 110,000 square meters, which coincided with the story background of "Looking for Qin", so producer Zhuang Weijian immediately decided to go to Hengdian.
▲ "Jing Ke's Assassination of the King of Qin" Chen Kaige persuaded investors to blow up several mountains to build a Qin Palace, and the investment reached 1.28 billion that year, but the box office in the year of release was only about 10 million, and 1.28 billion to the 10 million recovered in the end, can be called the first blood loss in the history of Chinese film!
▲ No one expected that the Qin Palace left by "Jing Ke's Assassination of the King of Qin" later became a famous film and television shooting base, and there were many tourists, and Hengdian made a profit.
▲ This scene of Lin Feng's accession to the throne was filmed in the Qin Palace. Unlike TVB productions, shots can be set up far away, and the extras are endless.
▲ Lin Feng's anti-Lü Buwei scene also shows the grandeur of Hengdian Qin Palace.
Later, Mango Channel broadcast it again, making it a classic drama in the minds of a generation, with a Douban score of 8.5.
In 2001, Hong Kong had just returned to the motherland, the mainland and Hong Kong were more closely connected, and the mainland economy was also steaming and booming, and Hong Kong people began to go north.
Who can predict the vicissitudes of the world, and this "Looking for Qin" also symbolizes a certain change of the times.
At that time, TVB almost made such a classic with the strength of the whole station, and the actors in it were all popular; Nowadays, the times have changed, and the actors have chosen different development paths and presented different states, and the so-called right path in the world is vicissitudes, which probably lies in this.
In 2001, the whole Taiwan was top-notched, and it was flourishing
To say that the actor of "Looking for Qin" was really TVB's top matching.
Gu Tianle is the first male protagonist in his prime, he plays the G4 special police officer Xiang Shaolong who traveled to the Warring States Era, at this time he was 31 years old, it was the most popular stage after the tanning transformation, people liked Bai Gu in "Condor Heroes", and also liked Heigu in "Looking for Qin", this transformation made him a big victory.
▲Before and after crossing.
"Looking for Qin" is adapted from Huang Yi's novel and remade into a TV series and has become the originator of Chinese travel dramas. Gu Tianle has publicly said more than once that Huang Yi is his nobleman. After Huang Yi died in 2017, Gu Tianle often mourned on Weibo, and said that the film version of "Looking for Qin" was filmed to commemorate Huang Yi.
The script is exquisite, the 31-year-old Gu Tianle is at the peak of his appearance, and the role of Xiang Shaolong made him win the TVB Thousands of Stars Awards Ceremony My Favorite Actor Award for the second time, which also became his best voice in TVB.
Coincidentally, two years ago, in 1999, Gu Tianle, who was only 29 years old and had only been in the industry for 5 years, won the role of "Xu Fei" in "Criminal Investigation File IV", becoming TVB's youngest and shortest Emperor of Vision, and the queen of sight that year happened to be Xuanxuan.
Since then, the "Guxuan CP", which will last for nearly 20 years, has laid the foreshadowing, reaching its peak by the time of "Looking for Qin". Gu Tianle and Xuanxuan's fans are generally picky and cold, but to this day, fans still feel that each other is a perfect match, and often urges marriage, which is also a major wonder in the fan world.
▲ 1994 "Meal Has the Song Family" (very family), Gu Tianle has not yet tanned, and his acting skills are still numb, Xuanxuan plays his cousin Mao Zhiqing, Gu Tianle plays his cousin Song Gui, looking at this appearance of many hands and feet, it is quite annoying... Later, because Gu Zai wanted to shoot "The Condor Heroes", Gu Zai's drama basically ended from about 14 episodes, and it was also in this drama that Gu Tianle met his only girlfriend Huang Jiying who was later admitted.
▲ 1998 "Pet Love", Xuan Xuan played Wen Yinglang, and Gu Tianle played Dai Zhanshuo. They got together because of dogs in this drama, dog lovers Wen Yinglang and Dai Zhanshuo are neighbors, because of a misunderstanding that the two have intersected, becoming an intolerable relationship, and in long-term contacts, the two gradually fell in love, a very sweet drama, sprinkled a lot of sugar, but also made Xuanxuan move for him.
▲ In "Criminal Investigation File IV", Gu Tianle plays Xu Fei and Xuan Xuan plays Wu Qiaojun, which has become the obsession of many drama parties in those years. Xu Fei missed his ex-girlfriend Qianqian, who had been missing for many years, but it wasn't until the appearance of Wu Qiaojun later that he fell in love again, and the two finally got together, but in the end his ex-girlfriend Qianqian suddenly appeared to contact him, and Xu Fei finally chose to separate from Wu Qianjun in the choice of the two, such an ending made many people sigh, and Xuanxuan also mentioned many times that such an ending made her very unhappy.
▲ In 1999, the two were both regarded as the queen of emperor vision.
Xuanxuan is the first heroine of "Looking for Qin", when she was the first Hua Dan of TVB and the most harmonious screen couple of Gu Tianle.
Xuan Xuan graduated from Imperial College London, University of London in 1992 with a bachelor's degree in materials engineering. After returning to Hong Kong, before he could find a job, he was discovered by talent scouts and filmed an advertisement. The first advertisement in my life was Nescafe, although I didn't show my face much, but my figure was unforgettable.
Then he filmed a chocolate commercial, sweet with a little maturity and playfulness, and successfully signed a contract with TVB.
Xuanxuan is an actress with a particularly "red spirit", and the opportunities along the way can be described as smooth and smooth.
In 1994, TVB big flower Chen Xiuwen left the nest, Xuanxuan became the heroine of the hit drama "One Royal Court V" because of her temperament as a woman in the workplace, and then soared on a rocket, and the dramas she starred in were basically all explosive dramas, "Heaven and Earth Boy", "Golden Years", "Washing Injustices" and so on, including the "Criminal Investigation File IV" played by Gu Tianle.
▲ Xuanxuan and Chen Huishan were TVB's most professional actresses at that time, so they had a lot of female fans, calling them "goddesses", extremely popular, and the stars were very prosperous.
TVB has made a statistic that Xuanxuan is the "most popular heroine behind the emperor's vision" in history, that is to say, all dramas starring Xuanxuan are either out of sight emperor or after vision.
For example, Luo Jialiang ("Difficult Brother and Brother", "Pride of Heaven and Earth", "Golden Years" three times to see the emperor, all with Xuanxuan), Gu Tianle ("Criminal Investigation File IV", "Looking for Qin Ji"), Cai Shaofen ("Pride of Heaven and Earth"), Ouyang Zhenhua ("Washing Injustices"), Guo Jin'an ("Jackie Chan", "Ngawang New Biography" twice regarded the emperor, both played a couple with Xuanxuan), Myolie Wu ("The King of Ten Thousand Phoenixes"), Tang Shiyong ("The Woman Who Doesn't Know How to Be Coquettish") and so on...
▲ Luo Jialiang and Xuanxuan in "Golden Years", because of this drama, the two also had an extramarital affair scandal, and finally Luo Jialiang's wife came forward to clarify, but a few years later, Luo Jialiang still met Su Yan in the mainland.
When she played "Looking for Qin" in 2001, Xuanxuan was in the most golden period of her career, which made her once again nominated for the Best Actress of the Thousands of Stars Ceremony and became popular in the mainland.
After talking about the two leading actors, another one has to be mentioned is Lin Feng, who just joined TVB.
Lin Feng was only 22 years old when filming "Looking for Qin", when the baby fat on his face had not faded, this was his second play, playing the ten-year-old Qin Shihuang just right.
It's just that the 22-year-old Lin Feng was still swarthy at the time, slightly immature, and many years later he had become a completely handsome guy, but this still is often used to compare the changes in his face over the past twenty years, so it has been circulating...
▲This side face comparison photo should also be the photo that Lin Feng wants to destroy the most, and its effect is comparable to the comparison between Lan Yingying and Sun Li in "The Biography of Zhen Huan".
Lin Feng is also an actor who debuted on a rocket, he participated in the 13th session of the TVB art training class in 1999, and his classmates also included Yang Yi and others, in contrast, Lin Feng acted in a hit drama the year he graduated and had important roles; And Yang Yi has been running tricks, and it was not until 2008 that she filmed "Good Full Moon in the House of Heartless Storms" and "Palace Heart Scheme" and became popular.
▲ In 2019, the 13th batch of TVB art training students gathered to celebrate the 20th anniversary, and the participants were Lin Feng, Yang Yi, Zhang Meini, Xu Rong, Yang Ming and Zhao Yonghong, etc., Lin Feng proudly gave everyone a big gold medal.
After graduating from the art training class, Lin Feng filmed his first drama called "Delicious Love", cooperating with Wu Qihua, Chen Huishan, Yang Qianwei, a big coffee, is the childhood memories of Hong Kong audiences, of which Wu Qihua and Chen Huishan are a couple, Lin Feng and Yang Qianwei talk about sibling love, the role is ingenious, very popular with the audience.
▲ There is also Xu Haoying who is not married to Eason Chen in the play.
It must be objectively said that Lin Feng, as a newcomer in "Looking for Qin", is radiant, and after that, without much stumbling, in 2004, "The Legend of the Tang Dynasty Double Dragon" completely opened the mainland market and became a popular student of TVB.
Today, as long as he and Wu Zhuoxi appear together, they also belong to the emotional killing of mainland audiences. Of course, Lin Feng and Wu Zhuoxi are well versed in this, and all kinds of combined interactions are non-stop.
▲ Two people went to "Brother in Trouble" at the same time, you can imagine the intention of the program team.
Lin Feng's career fortune in TVB is very mysterious, say that he is popular, he has always been popular, but the dramas he acted in are always so bad. TVB executive Le Yiling admires him and treats him like his own child, but he is the artist with the most shortlisted emperors in TVB history but has not won awards.
The most dramatic is that 2014's "Acts Walker" made Lin Feng a big hit, and the "explosive nail love" composed of Explosive Seed and Nail Sister made Lin Feng and She Shiman a golden couple, this drama can take a TV emperor anyway, but Lin Feng happened to leave TVB that year and signed with the emperor instead, did not catch up with the award, and passed by the TV emperor again.
▲ "Acts Walker" three actors together.
In 2001's "Looking for Qin", in addition to the three leading actors, other supporting roles are also incredible.
The second daughter, Guo Xianni, a mixed-race child (grandpa is British), was the champion of Miss Hong Kong in 1999 and the champion of Miss Chinese International in 2000. The media generally believes that she will be another beautiful woman after Li Jiaxin, but unfortunately, the later development is regrettable.
▲1999 Hong Kong Sister Competition, champion: Guo Xianni, runner-up: Atomic Hammer, third runner-up: Myolie Wu.
But in 2001, TVB gave her enough resources, and such a big production as "Looking for Qin" also let a newcomer play two roles, both as Qin Qing, the girlfriend of the modern Xiang Shaolong, and as Qin Guocai, Qin Qing, try to ask which newcomer has such an opportunity.
▲Guo Xianni in the play.
The next year, she filmed "Roselle" with Cai Shaofen, and she is still a beautiful and dazzling character.
and the other female second, Teng Liming, played "Shan Rou", who was also a famous Hua Dan at TVB at that time.
▲ A classic scene of single soft Xiang Shaolong.
Teng Liming participated in the rookie singing competition in 1995 and finished eighth. Later, as an auditor, he was enrolled in the eighth TVB artist training class in 1995. Because he is an auditor, he is not valued, and has been singing children's songs and doing children's programs since graduation.
▲ Two fierce players who participated in the rookie singing competition in 1995.
▲ Teng Liming early in children's programs.
Although it is a small role, it has also dealt with masters, and in the 1996 movie "The End of the World", Teng Liming and Takeshi Kaneshiro and Chen Huilin had quite a lot of rival scenes.
Teng Liming became popular in 1998's "Sister Topgun", this drama was filmed from 1998 to 2004, a total of 4 filmed, extremely popular, Kwan Yonghe and Teng Li famous policewoman sisters are sassy and cute, this drama has also made the popularity of the two actresses climb in the mainland.
Teng Li loves short hair to show people, has a particularly stubborn momentum and heroic beauty, and when she joined "Looking for Qin", it was undoubtedly her best moment.
The third daughter, Zheng Xueer, and Guo Xianni are also mixed-race, born in Singapore, Chinese-Indian mixed, her father is Indian, and her mother is Chinese.
Cher graduated from Nanyang Technological University with a degree in Communication, worked part-time in a fashion magazine after graduation, and was selected by a modeling agency for her outstanding appearance.
In 2000, he was also a newcomer with unlimited prospects, and as soon as he debuted, he had an affair with Kwok Fucheng, and filmed a very classic communication advertisement, and the theme song "Who Gently Calls Me ~ Awaken the Love Fire in the Heart" can be described as singing all over the streets.
In the advertisement, Kwok Fucheng is torn between Cher and Meng Jiahui, not knowing how to choose. According to media surveys, nearly eighty percent of the audience likes the smiling and sunny Cher.
▲ Cher VS Meng Jiahui.
In 2016, Kwok Fucheng held a concert in the Red Hall, and Cher went to the show, and they got together again after 19 years, which also caused media reports.
▲ Xue Er and Guo Fucheng's agent Xiaomei take a group photo.
Zheng Xueer's mixed-race appearance was also good when she first debuted, and her first movie was "Bursting Criminal Police" in 1999, when she cooperated with Gu Tianle, her sunny smile and clear eyes were her living signboard.
2001's "Looking for Qin" was her first time to participate in such a TVB TV series, in which she played the role of a princess, because she has an emotional line with Gu Tianle, so it is impressive, and there are still fans ranking between Xuanxuan, Teng Liming, Guo Xianni, and Xue'er, discussing which female character she likes the most, and Xue'er's votes are not low.
"Looking for Qin" exploded, Zheng Xueer also became well-known, and the next year she acted in the second part of "Meteor Garden", playing Ye Sha, and falling in love with Yan Chengxu after amnesia, but because Sugina and Daoming Temple were too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, the audience could not accept Ye Sha, which also led to Xue'er's reputation being damaged.
There is also an outstanding role in "Looking for Qin", that is, Jiang Hua's Lian Jin, in terms of scenes, he is more like a male second.
Jiang Hua is the most senior artist in the entire crew, participated in the Asian TV artist training class in 1986, and then signed with ATV, and the first drama in his life was the male lead.
▲ In 1986, he starred in "Shaolin Heroes" with Ye Yuping. Generally, young students who have just entered the industry will shoot a few scenes with shaved heads, and if they are still handsome after shaving their heads, they are the ones who can really become popular.
The 1990 film "May People Be Long" also won the Academy Award for Best New Actor.
At that time, Jianghua and Lu Songxian were called "ATV twins".
In 1996, he switched to TVB, and his first drama was "Journey to the West", starring with Xuanxuan's ex-boyfriend Zhang Weijian.
In the 2000 Taiwan celebration drama "Blue Blood Sword", he played the merry and unruly "Golden Snake Langjun", and his role was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
After "Looking for Qin", Jianghua immediately ushered in his peak state in TVB, and in 2003, another time-travel drama "The Dignity of the Ninth Five" made him and won the favorite TV character of thousands of Xinghui audiences.
In short, several of the main actors in "Looking for Qin" in 2001, all of them are hot, no one is a nobody, plus the plot is exquisite, the big explosion is expected, you know, the mainland only filmed the first real sense of the crossing drama "Palace" ten years later, and it is not an exaggeration to compare "Looking for Qin" to the originator of the crossing drama.
In 2022, there are several twenty years of life
Twenty-one years, long is not long, short is not short, but for actors, it is enough to change their lives.
Standing twenty-one years later, let's take a look at the current state of these actors, the experience of these years, it is really emotional, some people have risen to the god platform, some have quietly retired, and some have left.
From 2001 to 2022, twenty-one years have passed, TVB has undergone earth-shaking changes, and the lives of these people are also earth-shaking, let's count them carefully.
A. The upright faction headed by Koo Tianle
Rising to the god platform, of course, refers to Gu Tianle, who has entered the film industry to show his skills and is now the "double material president".
In 2001, after the end of "Looking for Qin", Gu Tianle signed a three-year contract with China Star, which is regarded as officially joining the film circle, during which he walked and sang, and after 2004, he began to work closely with To Qifeng to start making a series of action movies, and after years of struggle, Koo Tianle was finally elected as the president of the Hong Kong Performing Artists Association in 2018.
This is a position that can only be done by enthusiastic people, such as Lan Jieying's death and no one cares, Gu Tianle led the Performing Arts Association to help her take care of the aftermath; For example, during the epidemic, he gave money to old artists, causing Huang Xiahui to shout "We love you to death together", Gu Tianle has a good relationship with the artists in the circle, which is a hundred responses and has a lot of prestige in the circle.
In 2021, he served as the president of the Hong Kong Film Work Association, and now he is a veritable bigwig in the circle, almost representing the entire Hong Kong film circle.
▲ Koo Tianle and manager Ronnie.
In 2018, Gu Tianle announced seven films prepared by his company in one breath, the most emotional of which is "Looking for Qin", he reorganized the original cast to shoot the movie version of "Looking for Qin", according to him, the script alone was polished for several years, and invited the famous Taiwanese screenwriter Zhang Jialu (works such as "Finding the Dragon", etc., who participated in "Mei Lanfang", "Di Renjie" series and other movies) to write the script, and the characters in the play except Jiang Hua, all the rest are in Qi.
The movie will be filmed in 2021, for some reason it has not been on the show, judging from the trailer, what stands out is the war trick, it seems to be based on the opponent scenes of Lin Feng and Gu Tianle, and the roles of several women belong to the foil.
▲ For more than ten or twenty years, the actors have shown quite vicissitudes.
▲ Only Teng Liming seems to be heroic, and she posted photos on the set.
In addition to the enterprising Gu Tianle, there are still many strong and standing in this circle, Lin Feng, Teng Liming and Xuanxuan, as well as alternative existences, Gai Minghui, the "Longyang Jun" who dresses as a man in "Looking for Qin".
Gai Minghui is a special existence in TVB, herself she is a famous person in the Cantonese opera industry, she has her own drama class in her twenties, acting in TVB is a side business, in the nineties she began to enter the film and television industry, the most impressive role in addition to Long Yangjun in "Looking for Qin", and the female doctor in "One Royal Court", a heroic face suitable for men and women, unique temperament, with their own audience.
Because of her indistinguishable temperament, fans have always followed her and regarded her as their lover in their hearts, somewhat similar to the status of Li Yuchun and Tianhai Youxi among fans.
She is good at dancing with long sleeves and is still active on the stage, and in 2022, she will be happy in Donghua, and Gai Minghui will give a wonderful performance.
However, Gai Minghui has never been married, nor has there been a scandal, and the role of anti-string is too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, she said that many fans regard her as a husband, and she herself also wants to fall in love.
Gai Minghui holds his own birthday party every year, and often gathers guests, such as TVB senior Zeng Lizhen in 08 to congratulate.
In 2019, fans gave away a "long life without borders".
In 2021, he attended the birthday party with a bright spirit.
Okay, back to a few leading actors.
Lin Feng needless to say. He has good Mandarin and masterpieces, there are almost no obstacles to development in the mainland, the most important thing is that he is visibly more and more handsome, coupled with marriage and children, 43 years old is the golden age of male artists, now his main energy is distributed in the mainland, variety shows are non-stop.
The careers of the two actresses, Xuanxuan and Teng Liming, are also good.
The traces of the lives of the two actresses are similar, in the middle of the 20000s, TVB became famous to the mainland to develop, but the water and soil were not satisfied, the star fortune was bleak, and they had to return to Hong Kong in circles, in recent years, they happened to encounter TVB personnel withering, in 2021, who would have thought that 20 years later, TVB would still use this pair of women who are more than 100 years old as heroines to shoot the two-heroine TV series "Sister Topgun 2021".
▲ "Topgun Senior Sister 2021" is a proper nostalgic drama, in addition to Teng Liming is one of the original cast, Zhu Mimi, who plays the second sister, and Huang Meiqi, who played Teng Liming's daughter Sasha in "Topgun Senior Sister IV", also performed together.
▲ Teng Liming and Wei Junjie and daughter Sasha in "Topgun Senior Sister IV".
The two actresses are both emotionally very bumpy, the difference is that one is married and the other is unmarried.
Teng Liming fell in love with Wei Junjie in the process of filming "Sister Topgun", and he has been in love for nine years, often appearing in front of reporters and media with a high profile and sweetness. Nine years later, Wei Junjie empathized and fell in love with Zhang Lihua, a mainland girl, and then married (we wrote about it).
▲ Teng Liming and Wei Junjie in "Sister Topgun".
▲Teng Liming and Wei Junjie in love.
In the new version of "Sister Topgun", there is also a special bridge, that is, Chen Sanyuan sadly misses her husband, Teng Liming's crying scene is very moving, but unfortunately the two people in reality have long parted ways.
After breaking up with Wei Junjie, in 2007, Teng Liming had an affair with Guo Zhenghong in the same play because of the filming of "Savage Grandma vs. Ge Shima". But after more than a year of filming, Guo Zhenghong was kicked out and had a wife and daughter early, and Teng Liming broke up with him. Two consecutive boyfriends are scum, and since then Teng Li has been named "slag-sucking physique".
▲Teng Liming and Guo Zhenghong. Before entering the industry, Guo worked as a dragon and tiger master, working as a stand-in for the martial arts actors in the series, and later became a real actor.
In 2013, Teng Liming married financial talent Zhu Jiankun, did not have children after marriage, and the two claimed to be Dink. Teng Liming became a good wife, good at cooking food, and Lu Huiyi also ridiculed her for "even carving green onions".
Show affection from time to time, judging from the situation of appearance, the couple's economic strength is okay, wearing a famous watch to drive a luxury car, but Teng Liming herself is still as natural and simple as ever, and does not like luxury.
▲ Wearing Penaghai on his hand, driving a Porsche GT3 RS.
▲Teng Liming posted photos of decorating her new home, as well as her own terrace, and her life is comfortable.
Now it looks like this:
The only regret that fans regret is that although Teng Liming has acted in a popular drama, she has never won the aftermath, which is also regrettable.
And Xuanxuan, before the age of forty, was also in love and talking.
▲ Xuanxuan has personally admitted for so many years that only Zhang Weijian and Rong Wenhan have been in love, and the reason for breaking up with Zhang Weijian at the beginning is also that Zhang Weijian feels that he cannot accept that girls have a better career than boys, and the most sensational scandal should be in 2002, which led to Luo Jialiang's marriage lighting up red in 2002, when Xuanxuan had just broken up with Rong Wenhan less than two months, and the spearhead pointed to Xuanxuan as a third party. In December of the same year, a car accident occurred on Luo Jialiang's birthday, and the mysterious woman who was rumored to be in the same car was Xuanxuan.
▲ Among Xuanxuan's several romances, the most recent with marriage was with Rong Wenhan, nephew of CITIC Pacific Chairman Rong Zhijiantang, the two have been in love for 6 years, but unfortunately the two eventually broke up in 2002. At that time, Rong Wenhan had proposed to Xuanxuan, but the requirement was that he must give up his career and go home to have children, and Xuanxuan is a person with a more career-oriented heart, "I like this job so much, acting is my first job, I have always done it and still enjoy it." So I never thought about marrying into a wealthy family and giving up this job. ”
▲ Later, Xuanxuan met dentist Chen Jianwei under the introduction of a friend, this relationship Xuanxuan was very generously public, and then Chen Jianwei's family background was picked up, not only a dental orthodontist, but also quite strong, his father was Chen Weiliang, a barrister in the sixties, and his grandfather was Chen Hanhua, the founder of "Jufa Yuan Rice Line". But it was reported by many media as she was to catch the fifth diamond king as soon as possible, and finally the relationship lasted less than three months and the two ended.
▲ In 2009, Xuanxuan fell in love with Ruan Bester, a foreign veterinarian who was 4 years young, and the love was still sweet for half a year, and she went to the veterinary clinic to accompany her boyfriend as soon as she had time, willing to be the woman behind her boyfriend, and in 2013, the two announced their breakup.
Of course, among these many scandals, the most memorable for fans is the CP love fans who are in love because of the drama, whether Gu Tianle and Xuanxuan are in love or not, is the most popular question asked by the CP fans of the two in the past ten years.
In fact, the two have not worked together for 17 years since "Looking for Qin", but in 2018, Gu Tianle's company signed a contract with Xuanxuan, who has faded out of the rivers and lakes for a long time, and claimed to make another movie "Looking for Qin", this relationship can be described as a long time here, when the point of publicity fell on, we have not contacted for ten years.
Two people in the same company, one heart to publicize, every time in the same frame will be questioned by the media non-stop, one time "about to get married", another time "ten years of no contact", seeing Gu Xuan CP gradually become the biggest unsolved case, in fact, discerning people can see that the so-called "Xiangjiang is difficult to peace" is just the business sugar issued by Gu Xuan and the two, since they want to come out for business, it is better to have publicity points than no publicity points, everyone will listen to it half-truthfully.
Probably after several unsuccessful relationships, the current Xuanxuan does not seem to have much interest in love, has remained single, she is the same age as Gu Tianle, 52 this year, but well-maintained, often without makeup.
She has worked in Hong Kong and the mainland from time to time, signed a contract with Koo Tianle's company after 2018, and her work has become more and more frequent, and she also participated in the movie version of "Looking for Qin", still playing Wu Tingfang in her memory, feeling that nothing has changed.
In life, there is a stable circle of girlfriends, including Zheng Yuling, Gu Jijun, Liu Xiaotong, Qiu Kaimin and Wu Meiheng, who often gather.
▲ Several girlfriends celebrated Zheng Yuling's 62nd birthday, showing off the big ring on her hand, and the rich and noble demeanor of Sister Du was in full view.
Some time ago, "what kind of stalk is Wang Baochuan digging wild vegetables" rose on the Internet, in fact, because of the discussion of women's love brains and using Wang Baochuan as an example, using the stills of Xuanxuan back then, the main owner also ran out to echo it, properly, Xuanxuan is the big heroine who has no love brain in everyone's mind.
B. What is the way out after retiring from the circle? Of course, being an Internet celebrity
Of course, more people withdrew from the circle, and Jiang Hua, the male number two actor Xinhou, quit the entertainment industry and sold insurance.
▲ Jianghua's insurance manager license, his original name is Chen Muhua.
▲Have you ever seen such a handsome insurance manager?
In recent years, he has been cute in the TikTok circle, often discharging at the camera, because he did accumulate a group of diehard fans in the early years, so the data is okay (we wrote about Jiang Hua's story).
Of course, it is not only Jiang Hua who is an Internet celebrity, and the one who really treats Internet celebrities as things is Mai Changqing, who made a cameo appearance as Mak Weijian in "Looking for Qin".
He has basically settled in Guangzhou now, making a living by filming Douyin, the mainland is vast, the market is much larger than Hong Kong, he does not act, and he can also get food in the mainland by turning into an Internet celebrity.
What about female celebrities? Marrying is also a kind of destination.
The second female Guo Xianni, when filming "Looking for Qin", she had just won the Hong Kong sister, with a fresh temperament, she is a newcomer with unlimited prospects in the eyes of everyone, and she has indeed been popular in TVB for several years, who expected to ruin her unruly love with male stars.
▲ Guo Xianni and Wen Zhaolun fell in love while filming "Cowherd and Weaver Girl". At that time, Wen Zhaolun already had the title of "scumbag", and the outside world said that Guo Xianni had a bad eye, Guo Xianni was in love with the brain, and she also snubbed the reporter, and her image was damaged. (We wrote this story)

And finally, of course, those who have died.
IN "LOOKING FOR QIN", DIRECTOR CHU YUAN MADE A CAMEO ROLE CALLED WANG SIR, AND LIAO QIZHI MADE A CAMEO APPEARANCE IN DR. WUYOU.
We all know that director Chu Yuan passed away in February 2022, and the old drama bone Liao Qizhi, who had a twisted life, passed away in 2021, and we have written the stories of these two people, here can be reviewed: Chu Yuan big director, old drama bone Liao Qizhi.
Twenty years, how many twenty years of life, TVB is no longer the TVB of the past.
On March 31, 2011, a consortium led by Chen Guoqiang acquired 26% of TVB from the Shaw Brothers, and Chen Guoqiang and Wang Xuehong were appointed as non-executive directors, officially joining TVB on April 1, officially ending the more than 40 years of the Shaw era.
In 2014, Mr. Run Run Shaw passed away, and three years later, in 2017, Miss Fong Yihua also passed away. Since 2015, Myolie Wu, Xu Zishan, Lin Feng and others have left the nest one after another and do not renew their contracts, and the ratings have also fallen sharply.
In January 2020, TVB chairman Chen Guoqiang announced his resignation, the major shareholder Chinese culture Li Rui just surfaced, he rarely criticized TVB this decade is a lost decade, the change began again, the investment banker Xu Tao, who is favored by Li Ruigang, served as the new chairman of TVB, the original CEO Li Baoan retired, and his assistant Yu Yongshan also announced that he would resign at the end of April.
In January 2021, Zeng Zhiwei returned to TVB to be responsible for content production, newcomers, returning to the nest, and it was a hectic situation, and most of the actors in "Looking for Qin" still remained in Hong Kong to continue their eating careers.
Looking at it all, it was not the actors who really established a foothold in the mainland of "Looking for Qin" back then, but Wu Jinyuan, one of the directors of this play.
Wu Jinyuan is now a big man in filming costume dramas in the mainland, "The Legend of Chu Qiao", "The Legend of Sword and Fairy", "Lonely Empty Court Spring Late", "Beauty Scheming", "Step by Step", "You Jade", it is also scary to death.
▲ is probably the best Hong Kong TV drama director in the mainland, and he also filmed "I Have a Date with Spring", "Zombie Dao Master II", "West Street Boy", and "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" in the early years.
Even in the winter of the film and television industry, these Hong Kong directors who have worked hard from the bottom still have filming, Wu Jinyuan even filmed more mainstream CCTV TV series, the 25th anniversary of Hong Kong's return to the motherland in 2022 tribute drama "The Story Under the Lion Rock" was filmed by him, which also happens to be the field that Hong Kong directors are good at, and the human touch under the Lion Rock "everyone's life is not only love, but also people's lives."
At the end of the play "Looking for Qin", Xiang Shaolong played Shen Liang and returned to the mansion, heard the news of the death of Xinlingjun and Lian Po, and couldn't help but sigh at the ruthlessness of time, and a group of starry characters finally floated in the great river of history.
And those young and beautiful actors in "Looking for Qin" outside the play have long passed the most prosperous twenty years of their lives, some of them have risen step by step, some have returned to retirement, some have left this world, and some have a dull life, no matter what, the living are still trying to survive, are still living seriously, and are still supporting each other, with a certain Hong Kong people's unique human touch under the Lion Mountain.
To paraphrase Eileen Zhang's sentence, "After thousands of turns, there is still something." ”
