In the hearts of many people,
"Friends" is the deserved king of sitcoms.
It profoundly influenced the later domestic sitcom hits, including "The Legend of Wulin" and "Love Apartment".
In China, the ten seasons are super high scores, and the average Douban is 9.77 almost perfect. To this day, it is still a classic textbook for many Chinese people to learn spoken language.
In the United States, "Friends" has been nominated for a total of 62 Emmy Awards (the highest award in the American television industry).
Each season is in the top 10 of the year, and the finale has attracted more than 52 million Americans, and there are 12 Oscar winners who have guest starred in it.

Warner earns $1 billion a year by replaying "Friends" alone.
In China, "Friends" has another translation name - "Sixsome".
Because the show tells the friendship and love story of six young people in New York — Ross, Rachel, Monica, Chandler, Phoebe, Joey , from the age of 25 until they enter middle age.
The final season of 2004 came to an end, and the six characters began their new lives in the show.
And after a full decade of acting in "Friends", how are their actors now doing?
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="12" > Ross</h1>
Played by David Humon.
In real life, David Thumon, like his character Rose, is Jewish, and even the habit of biting words too clearly in Ross's plays comes from David Thumon himself.
"Friends" was undoubtedly the peak of David Hurmont's career, but it also became the highest one.
David Thurmont has since tried several transformations, but none of them have been successful.
Perhaps in addition to "Friends", the domestic audience is most familiar with his works is-
The obnoxious waste wood commander in Company of Brothers.
And voiced the nervous giraffe Melman in the animated film Madagascar.
Looking at David's award history, you will find that all his film and television-related awards come from "Friends".
In fact, after the end of the first season, David Humon had the opportunity to open another track.
In today's parlance, he was one of the top Americans at the time, having received more than 30 film scripts.
But David chose a role very close to Rose, and this "Funeral Lady" suffered a box office Waterloo (the heroine of this film is also the "Little Pepper" actor in "Iron Man", Gwennis Paltrow).
This seems to have opened the unfortunate "curse" of David Humon, except for "Friends", he starred in what "pounced" and what.
In 2020, David starred in the IMDB bad-review TV series "Unreliable Intelligence Bureau" and was filmed attending a rally about black people.
In fact, today's David Humon has been very marginalized in the film and television circle, and the audience is still from everyone's love for "Friends".

<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="29" > Rachel</h1>
Played by Jennifer Aniston.
Although "Friends" has six starring actors,
But in the hearts of many fans, Rachel and Rose are the first male and female protagonists, and after 10 years, their points and points have been combined.
Outside of Friends, Aniston's career was equally successful.
Probably the most familiar film for most Chinese audiences is Aniston's film, which she starred in with Kim Kelly in 2003.
After the end of "Friends" in 2004, Aniston also starred in a total of 23 films.
But aside from Friends, Aniston's most unavoidable topic is Brad Pitt.
Pete made a cameo appearance as Rachel's high school classmate in the eighth season of Friends.
At that time, his eyes were really loving.
Later everyone knew the story of Pete being "poached" by Angelina Jolie,
Many "Friends" fans even complained about Aniston online.
However, at the 2020 Screen Actors Guild Awards gala, when Pete on stage ridiculed why he was single (he had divorced Julie), the camera brother was very relieved to focus on Aniston offstage.
That night, Aniston also won the award on stage,
Pete, who was being interviewed, stopped the interview and walked to the screen to stop and watch.

<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="46" > Monica</h1>
Played by Courtney Cox.
In Friends, Monica is the "center of the universe."
Because she and Rose are brother and sister, and Rachel is a high school girlfriend, and Phoebe is a former roommate, and finally married Chandler, leaving a room to "adopt" Joey in his later years.
Tears in her eyes, Joey marries Monica and Chandler
Therefore, some netizens have also drawn such a "simple but not simple" picture -
In 2018, Courtney Cox was photographed on the street by paparazzi.
At the age of 54, she was not blessed and still looked charming.
It should be known that Courtney Cox was selected as one of the "Top Ten Most Beautiful Actresses" in People magazine.
After starring in "Friends", Courtney also successfully opened up her own new career.
In 1996 she starred in Screams, which eventually led to a classic horror series that continued into 2011.
It is reported that in 2022, "Scream 5" is also on the agenda.
The casting director wanted Tony to play Rachel, but she felt that her personality was more like Monica, so she offered to swap roles with Aniston.
And her friendship with Jennifer Aniston also extends from the "Friends" play to the outside of the play.
When Courtney gave birth, the paparazzi always captured Aniston coming in and out of the hospital.
No wonder some netizens joked that the men around the two actresses came and went, only they were monica and Rachel.

<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="63" > Chandler</h1>
Played by Matthew Perry.
Chandler is a living treasure in "Friends", and there is no womanhood.
But privately Matthew Perry is the most "troublesome" one.
In addition to the three actresses in "Friends", he and many actresses he has worked with have developed into lovers.
It can be called a "female colleague" harvester.
One of the most famous was Julia Roberts.
Roberts made a cameo appearance in the second season of "Friends" and had a lot of rivalry with Matthew, and the two became lovers in private.
In November 2020, it was revealed in the media that Matthew, who was 51 years old at the time, was engaged to his 22-year-old girlfriend.
However, some netizens secretly photographed Matthew, who was weak during the epidemic, on the side of the road, looking sloppy.
Matthew was not a self-disciplined man, and in 1997 he became dependent on drugs due to a ski injury, which led to his later abuse of alcohol and illegal drugs.
In fact, from the seventh season of "Friends", it is not difficult to find his body shape change of fat and thin, because at that time, Ma Correction was recovering from drugs.
Although Matthew Perry has starred in many films outside of "Friends", he has not surpassed the role of Chandler Bin.
Probably the most familiar movie for most Chinese audiences is the middle-aged image of the male protagonist in "Return to 17".

<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="79" > Joey</h1>
Played by Matt LeBron.
A bit stupid, but super feminine, and never sharing food with others, he is the beloved Joey Tribiani.
Joey is one of the most popular and malleable characters in Friends, otherwise the filmmakers would not have launched his own series after the end of the series, "Joey".
But the semi-spin-off of Friends was unsuccessful and was cut just two seasons later.
Because there are no other five joey, it doesn't look like the joey that everyone is familiar with.
There is no "chemistry".
Matt LeBron also tried to switch to the big screen several times while starring in "Friends".
But maybe his "Joey-style" performance style is too deeply rooted in people's hearts, and it is easy to make people play.
For example, in the 1998 film Lost in Space, Matt LeBron's pursed lips and locked brows always have the illusion that Joey is playing "Dr. Drake" in "Friends".
But back in the field of television dramas, Matt LeBron is still thriving.
After a brief failure of "Joey," he won best actor in a series at the 69th Golden Globe Awards in 2012 for the tv series "Inside and Outside the Play.".
Since 2016, he has starred in the acclaimed sitcom "Daddy Has a Trick" for four consecutive seasons.
Probably for Matt LeBron,
The only regret is that the pig-killing knife of the years is particularly fond of him.

<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="96" > Phoebe</h1>
Smelly Cat, Smelly Cat
What are they feeding you? (What do they give you to eat?) )
Smelly cat, smelly cat
It's not your fault. (It's not your fault)
Played by Lisa Cudjo.
Phoebe is probably the poorest man from Friends.
But her actor, Lisa Cudjo, was born into a wealthy family, and acting is a livelihood, and she is a hobby.
After the end of "Friends", Lisa Cudjo dubbed the popular animation "Bojack the HorseMan" and "The Simpsons".
Played the heroine in "The Return".
In the movie "Notes: I Love You", which Chinese film fans quite like, Lisa Kudrow also made a cameo appearance as the heroine's girlfriend.
Interestingly, in Friends, Phoebe Buffy is a girl of French descent, while the reality of Lisa Cudjoh is married to a Frenchman, Mitchell Stern.
After the two married, they have loved each other so far, and they are the most stable emotional life in the "Friends" six-person group.
When Phoebe was pregnant with triplets in "Friends", it was actually Lisa Cudjo herself who was pregnant, and when Phoebe finished giving birth in the play, she also happened to be born.
So some people joke that God has compensated Lisa Cudjo for all his debt to Phoebe.
Outside of the "Friends" scene, Lisa Cudjo also maintained a good friendship with Aniston, and in 2019 she was also filmed attending Aniston's 50th birthday party.

<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="114">Central Perk</h1>
Although this is a café, it is definitely one of the well-deserved protagonists of Friends.
The "Central Perk" café appears only less frequently in Friends than the group of six, and will have it in almost every episode.
"Curator" Ganther was originally just a dragon set, because he followed the café too often, and became the most long-lasting golden supporting role.
"Central Perk" has witnessed countless highlight moments of Friends:
The first shot of the first episode of Friends.
Rose's confession to Rachel.
The birthplace of Phoebe's original divine comedy "Stinky Cat".
Although "Central Perk" was just a construction scene in the studio, it came to life around the world.
Countless Friends fans, in different parts of the world, have reproduced the "Central Perk" café.
Among them is Gunther's character James Michael Taylor.
In the hearts of many drama fans, "Friends" has become a classic, a feeling, a kind of miss -
"Good to be silent"
In 1993, three obscure producers came together to write a story about the friendship of young people in New York.
But no one expected that the script, which was only 7 pages long at the beginning, would eventually be extended into a classic drama that spanned ten years and endured.
Time has passed, in addition to the six-person group, the actors involved in "Friends", the veteran actor Ron Lebman, who played Rachel's father, has passed away in 2019 at the age of 82.
Mike, who finally entered the marriage hall with Phoebe in the play, is played by Paul Luther, who has now become the Marvel Universe - Ant-Man.
Gary Oldman, who made a cameo appearance as a film emperor, has now become a real movie emperor.
"Friends" has a happy story ending, but for countless fans, more than ten years have passed, there is no special edition, no movie version, and it has always been difficult to reconcile.
The only "surprise" is the 2016 NBC special "Gift to James Burrows" (director of "Friends"), where the main actors temporarily fit together.
But Matthew Perry was absent because of something, and only five of the six came.
"12MB RAM, 500MB HDD",
This is the computer configuration that made Chandler excited in "Friends" that year.
And now it has reached the era when memory modules are 10G jumping.
But still can't wait for the rekindling of "Friends".
HBO had planned to launch the Friends Reunion Special in mid-2020 because the pandemic failed to do so.
It is now marked as launched in 2021.
"Friends" for many people,
Or spend a special time with you,
Or carry a lot of memories.
Whether it ends up coming back or not,
想说：We'll be there for you.
