Preamble:
Will you become unpopular after you become famous? Will a happy marriage breed cheating? Will you be arrogant at the peak of your career?
Lian Yiming's life trajectory seems to give a positive answer.
He used to be a powerful actor, he has created many classic roles on the screen, and he and his wife Chen Jiayan have been hailed as a model couple in the circle.
However, the good times did not last long, and an extramarital affair caused him to fall from the peak to the bottom, and he not only lost his wife and children, but also lost the glory of his career.
Today, his ex-wife Chen Jiayan has successfully transformed, with a smooth career and fame and fortune, while he is struggling to survive on the edge of the entertainment industry.
This pair of immortal couples who once fought side by side are now separated.
So, what changed Lian Yiming's fate? What made him go from being a generalist to nothing? Let's look back at Lian Yiming's past and examine his life together.
Lian Yiming: The struggle of a powerful actor
Lian Yiming was born in 1970 and is a small city native.
Since childhood, he has aspired to be an actor and is passionate about acting.
He was diligent and studious, and was later admitted to the Central Academy of Drama with his excellent skills.
During his studies at the drama school, Lian Yiming showed amazing acting talent.
He can easily enter and play and create a three-dimensional and expressive image according to the role.
His classmates and teachers praised him and thought he had the talent to become a film actor.
After graduation, Lian Yiming quickly made a name for himself in the TV industry and began to accumulate acting qualifications.
In 1995, Lian Yiming began to get involved in the film industry, and won the recognition of the actor with a costume drama "Painted Skin".
He played a villain who has gone through vicissitudes and complex emotions in the play, and successfully created a multi-dimensional character.
"Painted Skin" opened the door to movies for Lian Yiming, and since then, he has soared to the sky and become a popular superstar on the screen.
At the peak of his acting career, he has three or four works released or broadcast every year, whether it is ancient costumes or modern dramas, even Yiming can perform them perfectly, showing his excellent acting skills.
In the following years, Lian Yiming continued to launch high-level works, and won many nominations or honors for awards such as Huading Award, Golden Eagle Award, and Magnolia Award.
He has worked with Leslie Cheung and has also had wonderful rivalry with Stephen Chow.
He is comfortable with both comedy and tragedy.
Lian Yiming not only has outstanding appearance, but also has acting skills, so that the audience will never be disappointed when they watch his works.
It is especially worth mentioning that Lian Yiming won the Golden Eagle Award for Best Actor with a period drama "Growing Old with His Son", and his honest and filial eldest son in the play won the favor of the judges.
The brilliant achievements of this drama have undoubtedly established Lian Yiming's status as a powerful actor.
Unlike other small students who are good at appearance, Lian Yiming is a well-deserved powerhouse.
The reason why he can occupy a place in the film and television industry is all due to his excellent acting skills.
In 1995, Lian Yiming met and fell in love with actress Chen Jiayan in the filming of the costume drama "Wildfire Spring Breeze Fighting Ancient City", and the two soon entered into marriage.
Chen Jiayan, like Lian Yiming, is also an acting student, and soon became famous in the circle.
She has beautiful appearance, outstanding acting skills, and the two partners talk about everything, have similar interests, and are regarded by the outside world as a golden boy and a perfect couple.
When they were newly married, Lian Yiming and Chen Jiayan often fell in love, attending events or receiving awards together.
The two are often tired of showing affection together, and the fans who cheered for them all sprinkled flowers for their sweetness.
They also did not hide the disharmony of their married life like other actor couples.
Lian Yiming and Chen Jiayan have a lovely daughter and live a happy life.
At that time, Lian Yiming was in the golden age of both career and relationship, he seemed to be full of ambition and a comfortable mood, and he was at the peak of his life before the divorce turmoil.
Lian Yiming's extramarital affair: the beginning of moral decay
In 2000, during the filming of the new drama "Fengyun", Lian Yiming accidentally had a spark of affection with actress Yang Ruoxi.
The two began to be ambiguously entangled in private, and finally developed into an extramarital affair.
Yang Ruoxi is a little flower in her early 20s who has just entered the showbiz.
may be because of Lian Yiming's fame and achievements, Yang Ruoxi has an admiration for him.
The two knew each other before filming started, and they became acquainted with each other as soon as they came and went.
Even Yiming was gradually attracted by Yang Ruoxi's flowering youth, and the two began to secretly send autumn waves.
As married men, Lian Yiming and Yang Ruoxi's behavior in the crew is very inappropriate.
The two often snuggle up together and whisper, and sometimes make out between shoots.
At first, everyone thought it was flirting outside the play, and it was also as if the two were discussing the play.
But over time, their intimate demeanor has gone beyond that of colleagues.
The staff all saw it, but no one dared to say it.
After all, Lian Yiming was a first-line male star at the time, and everyone didn't want to offend him.
This secret relationship lasted for more than a year, until a reporter secretly took a photo of the two holding hands and shopping, which exposed the facts.
Suddenly, Lian Yiming became the target of people's verbal criticism.
He was not only criticized for being immoral, but also made the public question his character.
Subsequently, Lian Yiming was revealed to have other women, which made the suspicion of extramarital affairs even stronger.
This is undoubtedly a betrayal and injury to his wife, and it also made him fall from the top of the entertainment industry.
This cheating turmoil caused cracks in the marriage of Lian Yiming and Chen Jiayan.
Chen Jiayan is deeply saddened and disappointed by her husband's actions, and the two often quarrel over this.
Chen Jiayan cried and asked Lian Yiming where he was not good enough, why he cheated and hurt himself.
Even Yiming had nothing to say, so he could only apologize again and again and promise not to do it again.
For a time, Lian Yiming became a thorn in the public's side and a laughing stock of friends.
As a wife, Chen Jiayan has to face her husband's infidelity on the one hand, and take care of her young daughter on the other.
Although my daughter is still young, she is very sad to watch her parents quarrel.
Chen Jiayan has to take care of her daughter's psychological state and protect her from the impact of this turmoil.
This was a huge blow to her.
In the end, after careful consideration, Chen Jiayan chose to divorce and won custody of her daughter.
An extramarital affair ruined Lian Yiming's happy family.
Not only did he lose the company of his wife, but he also lost custody of his daughter.
This is undoubtedly the biggest regret of his life.
The career has fallen into a trough, and the reputation has been discredited
After the derailment incident, Lian Yiming's career also went downhill.
His already controversial image is even worse.
Many brands have canceled their endorsements with him, and the new films that are about to start filming have also changed their starring roles.
The public opinion environment is extremely unfavorable for him, and the public cannot accept a negative man to endorse products or play a positive role.
Many scripts avoid roles related to marriage and family.
Lian Yiming's work came one after another.
Once upon a time, as long as he was willing to take on the play, countless directors would come to visit, but now he is like a rat crossing the street, and everyone avoids it.
Originally, Lian Yiming had two or three works released every year, but after the derailment, big directors and producers were reluctant to cooperate with him.
The public opinion environment was extremely unfavorable to him, resulting in him not receiving good resources.
Under the elimination of the market, Lian Yiming's career fell into a trough.
Once upon a time, he was the darling of the entertainment industry, but now he has become a street rat that everyone spurns.
This is undoubtedly a huge blow to him who was once high.
The dramas he starred in were also affected, and some TV stations even removed the works he participated in.
Lian Yiming fell from superstar to marginal overnight, and his fan base has also plummeted.
Since then, Lian Yiming has faded out of the screen.
Lian Yiming's extramarital affair scandal spread in circles and among the public, dealing a huge blow to his reputation and prestige.
Despite this, he chose to continue his career in the entertainment industry.
After the divorce, even Yiming's agent's resources have been greatly reduced.
Due to his discredit, many companies are reluctant to cooperate with him.
He can only take on some small productions or web dramas.
Once upon a time, he could fly with a first-line actress, but now he has been reduced to playing against small roles.
Sometimes, he will participate in some variety shows, but rarely make headlines, and can only make some unnutritious comments.
What was once a powerful actor is now reduced to a supporting role in gossip news.
Once upon a time, Lian Yiming could only get some exposure on the gossip page of entertainment news.
Today, Lian Yiming is no longer a first-line star, just an old artist who is silently maintained in the circle.
Occasionally, a few loyal fans will support his work, but the public's attention has been diverted.
This is undoubtedly a huge gap for former screen celebrities.
Chen Jiayan: An actress's butterfly transformation
Compared with the peaks and falls of her husband's career, Chen Jiayan's life trajectory has also experienced ups and downs.
After divorcing Lian Yiming, Chen Jiayan fell into a trough and confusion for a while.
Not only does she have to face the pain of her husband's betrayal and divorce, but she also has to take care of a young child.
The divorce case dealt a double blow to her, and her life and career fell into chaos for a while.
Due to the negative impact of divorce, Chen Jiayan did not work well for a while, and her resources became less.
Many people associate her with her husband's cheating, causing her to be marginalized as well.
She began to develop with difficulty in some supporting roles and gradually faded out of the screen.
Many people think that she is the "green woman" and never want to reuse her.
During this time, she had a hard time, but for the sake of her daughter, she did not give up.
In the face of media dilution and public prejudice, Chen Jiayan felt lost, but still held on to her dream.
gradually improved and gradually transformed into a powerful actress
Not long after, Chen Jiayan returned to the public eye with a classic role in a period drama, and her superb acting skills were well received.
The ruthless strong woman she plays completely subverts the previous image and shows amazing acting potential.
Since then, Chen Jiayan has gradually transformed into a role actor, no longer a vase, and has shown her strength in several quality dramas.
She chose those female characters with complex personalities and strong hearts, allowing the audience to see her mature side.
As she grows older, Chen Jiayan's acting skills become more and more mature and steady.
She began to choose those characters with depth and connotation, and showed the layering of her acting skills by digging into the inner world of the characters.
Many viewers were impressed with her, and the director began to reuse her.
Chen Jiayan is no longer a little flower who needs to rely on external conditions to get a role, but a powerful actor who can interpret the core connotation of the character.
She is no longer limited to gossip news in the entertainment industry, but quietly acts and lets her works speak.
In this process, Chen Jiayan has undergone a metamorphosis and found her own path as an actor.
Hit a new peak in her career and become a first-line actress
In recent years, Chen Jiayan has won the affirmation of the post-TV awards with two hit dramas.
She proved herself through hard work and managed to become one of the first-line actresses.
Now, Chen Jiayan is already a powerful representative and has broad development prospects.
In these two dramas, she not only performed well, but also gained the love of the public with her inspirational female image.
Chen Jiayan uses her own efforts to convey the positive energy of struggle and inspire more people to pursue their dreams bravely.
Now, she has become a popular actress who is a household name, and her career has reached a new peak.
Today's Chen Jiayan is no longer Lian Yiming's vase wife, but has won everything now through her own strength and hard work.
She conquered the audience with her acting skills and charm, proving that a good actress can rely on her own strength to achieve success.
For women's self-realization in the entertainment industry, Chen Jiayan has written an inspiring success story.
She found a new direction in life
After experiencing the blow of marriage change, Chen Jiayan rebuilt her career and life with perseverance.
She re-realized herself in her career and found her own attitude to life.
Chen Jiayan is now single and enjoys life, and her relationship with her daughter is also very good.
The daughter fully understands her mother's efforts and becomes the driving force for her to persevere.
In addition to her acting career, Chen Jiayan also runs her own fashion brand.
She is no longer haunted by the notions of failure in the past, but has started a new chapter.
It can be said that Chen Jiayan has found her own open-minded new life.
She has become a benchmark for a new generation of women, and has also written a story of actresses' self-improvement.
No matter what the circumstances, she retains positive mental strength.
This also made her more loved by the public.
In contrast, Lian Yiming's situation is not so optimistic.
After experiencing scandals and divorces caused by cheating, his acting career has been ruined for several years.
Although he is still insisting on his dream of acting, it is no longer what it used to be.
However, we should not be too harsh and negative on Lian Yiming.
Everyone makes mistakes, and the key is to learn from their failures and start anew.
Perhaps, this is what Lian Yiming needs to do, constantly reflect and move forward.
However, we can't deny that Lian Yiming's acting skills are still there, and his story may not be over yet.
As long as he continues to maintain his self-confidence and courage and stick to his dreams, he still has a chance to succeed again.
After all, he is no longer the nobody-eyed and conceited person he used to be.
There is no end to life, failure is not the end, and those who have experienced it are often more tenacious and wise.
We look forward to Lian Yiming writing a new chapter in his life and lighting up that shining star again.
Everyone's rise and fall is different, and where to go in the end can only depend on yourself.
We can't predict their future, we can only hope that they will each find peace of mind.
Life is an unfinished journey, there is still a long way to go, and all possibilities lie ahead.
No matter what the past is, there is always strength to move forward.
I believe that the light is ahead, and spring will eventually come.
Epilogue:
In this highly competitive society, we need to be supportive and tolerant, and give hope to everyone who struggles, rather than condemning and denying.
Only tolerance from the heart can dissolve antagonism and rebuild harmony.
The torrent of life is rolling forward, and each of us is experiencing and growing.
Regardless of the past, courage is wisdom.
I believe that the gentleman is thousands of miles, and the future has yet to be created.
