1. Prologue: Who can share the glory with the screen classics?
In 2004, the moment of attention was coming, and a TV series created with the heroic legend of the Northern Song Dynasty as the background - "The Legend of Heroes of the Sui and Tang Dynasties" was quietly broadcast. In an instant, the vivid image of the characters in the play was deeply imprinted in the hearts of countless audiences.
Luo Cheng, who is brave and fearless, attaches great importance to love and righteousness, Qin Shubao, who is dignified, upright, and steady, and has a gentle and kind attitude and has a bad fate...... Each character is brought to life, making the audience feel as if they are in the middle of it, and experience the magnificent ups and downs of fate with them.
However, as time flies and time flies, who can foresee the living conditions of those actors who were once popular in thousands of families? Where will they go now? The chessboard of fate is ultimately in the hands of the people.
2. Biography: Nie Yuan's colorful life road
Playing the hero image Luo Cheng in the play is the actor Nie Yuan. Back then, with his unwavering eyes and majestic image, he successfully interpreted Luo Cheng, a hero who values love and righteousness, and is brave and good at fighting, which is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, which is awe-inspiring.
With his superb acting skills, Nie Yuan has won warm praise from the audience, and has frequently appeared in many popular costume dramas, known as "the first little student in ancient costumes", which can be described as infinitely beautiful.
However, at a celebration banquet in 2015, a drunken out-of-control conflict completely changed Nie Yuan's career. At that time, when he was drunk and hazy, he had a fierce quarrel with the host Qiu Qiming.
The quarrel between the two sides escalated, and finally Nie Yuan became emotional and started beating people, resulting in injuries to some staff at the scene. The incident caused an uproar at the time, and Nie Yuan had to issue a public apology in front of the public.
This blow brought Nie Yuan's career to a low point. The original hit TV series "Heart Like Iron" was forced to change the protagonist halfway, and more works even did not hesitate to cut his scenes in order to successfully pass the censorship, and even needed to use a pseudonym to replace his name.
With the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television issuing the policy of "boycotting bad artists", more works have been stillborn.
Faced with the heavy cost of impulsive behavior, Nie Yuan felt deep remorse and fell into the predicament of self-denial for a while. It wasn't until 2018 that he played a humorous and witty supporting role "Big Pig's Trotters" in "Yanxi Raiders", which ushered in a turning point in his career.
In 2021, he presented a deep-rooted villain role in "The Forerunner", which once again refreshed the audience's perception of his acting skills, and also made his acting career more prosperous, and he received a steady stream of script invitations.
Nie Yuan, who is now middle-aged, although there are some traces of time carved on his face, the manly perseverance and courage still exude a striking light and guide the growth of the younger generations.
3. Interlude: The story behind the fall of the Yellow Sea ice
Looking back on Huang Haibing in his youth, his handsome and chic appearance seems to be a "male god" born for costume dramas. Whether it is Mr. Jin Yong's martial arts world, or under the brushstrokes of famous artists such as Gu Long and Liang Yusheng, he can always perfectly interpret the demeanor of those heroes in his own way.
I still remember that in "Book of Swords and Enmity", he played Chen Jialuo's graceful demeanor, and the sword showed a chivalrous spirit when it was unsheathed; Zhang Danfeng, the perfect interpretation of chivalrous tenderness has also won him the fanatical pursuit of countless female audiences However, such glory did not last long, as he grew older, Huang Haibing's status in the film and television industry gradually declined, although he tried hard to transform and starred in works on the theme of the Anti-Japanese War, but it did not receive the expected praise, and even made the audience mistakenly think that he had disappeared from the screen Now, Huang Haibing, who is close to the sixtieth year, has a slightly bloated figure and a wrinkled face, it is difficult for people to think that he was once the peerless generation, the impermanence of the fate of the much-anticipated costume drama "Male God" makes this former superstar now have to live a low-key life.
4. Flashback: The twists and turns of Tong Lei's life
For actor Tong Lei, being able to play the role of the gentle and kind Li Rongrong in "The Legend of Heroes of the Sui and Tang Dynasties" is undoubtedly a great luck in her life. At that time, with her intellectual and elegant temperament and virtuous and dignified image, she interpreted this woman with a bumpy fate to make people feel distressed.
However, only a year later, Tong Lei created the image of Tian Yu, the intellectual and generous "Bright Sword Goddess", in the well-known TV series "Bright Sword", and has since become an idol in the hearts of countless families.
At the peak of her career, she fell in love with the new generation of male stars who attracted much attention at that time, and they sincerely swayed the heat of youth, won the love and praise of the majority of fans, and became the "golden boy and girl" in people's mouths.
However, this sweet love can't withstand the ravages of time after all, and gradually falls apart after five years of sweet time.
In 2014, a photo of Tong Lei leading a cute little girl shopping was exposed by the media, and she had to admit in front of the public that she had entered the marriage hall and had a daughter.
Her husband Zhou Xuhui, who is 12 years older than her, is the wealthy president of a listed technology company, and his family is well-off, and this seemingly happy marriage has instantly become the focus of attention in the city.
However, this hard-won happy life was short-lived, and it only lasted for a short year. That same year, Mr. Zhou's company was severely punished by the China Securities Regulatory Commission for allegedly falsifying financial data, and was eventually sentenced to three years in prison.
As his wife, Tong Lei not only has to bear a debt of up to 140 million yuan, but also has to bear the pain of losing her wealthy life.
From the former wealthy lady to today's ordinary people, Tong Lei has gone all out to repay her debts, no matter how big or small the role is, no matter what the scene is, she will not hesitate to take it, completely disregarding her personal image.
Although she often shows her elegant and beautiful side and happy life on social media, the bitterness and pain in it may only be experienced by herself.
In contrast, actor Xie Junhao, who played the villain Yang Guang in the TV series "The Legend of Sword and Fairy", had a more bumpy encounter.
Xie Junhao, who was once popular all over the country with the role of "Wine Sword Fairy" in the costume drama "The Legend of Sword and Fairy", quickly withered after a short period of glory like a flash in the pan. The sudden fire on the set in 2009 not only seriously burned his appearance, but also seemed to completely extinguish the glory of his career.
Although he later repaired his scars through plastic surgery, he could no longer return to his peak demeanor Today, Xie Junhao is full of silver threads, and can only play some inconspicuous small roles and supporting roles in film and television dramas, obscure, almost distant from the past "idol" identity.
However, compared with Xie Junhao, who is sad and fighting against fate, the life trajectories of some actors who also participated in the performance of "The Legend of Heroes of the Sui and Tang Dynasties" show diametrically opposite appearances. For example, the sexy and beautiful Yue Qingwei - her role in the play Shan Bingbing is still fresh in people's minds, and then she resolutely bid farewell to the stage of the host, stepped into the brilliant film and television industry, and gradually grew into a golden supporting role respected by the industry!
Shi Xiaolong, who also debuted as a child star, has also fallen into a trough in his acting career like Xie Junhao. He was once a smash hit for starring in "Youth Bao Qingtian", but when he became an adult, he chose to temporarily leave the entertainment industry and devote himself to his studies, and when he returned, his former popularity was long gone.
However, Shi Xiaolong was not discouraged, he always maintained a low-key and humble attitude, devoted himself to practicing acting skills, and finally became a high-profile powerful action superstar today, with continuous film appointments.
And actor Lin Zicong, who once played Cheng Biting Jin in the play, has successfully transformed into a screenwriter and director since he emerged in Stephen Chow's comedy movies, and often appears in big online movies.
The life course of the veteran actor Du Zhiguo can be described as magnificent. He once played the role of Li Yuan in the play, showing the remarkable wisdom and strategy of a ruler on the screen. However, his emotional path was full of ups and downs, and he went through three marriages successively.
Among them, the second marriage failed because of the strong opposition of his son, and the third marriage originated from a scandal of a "little three", and even once rumored that he had an illegitimate child, fortunately, these turmoil finally subsided, and only his superb performance on the screen remained.
6. Conclusion: The wheel of fortune is in our own hands
The years have flown by, and in the blink of an eye, 19 spring and autumn have passed. Looking back on the heroic legend of the Northern Song Dynasty "The Legend of the Heroes of the Sui and Tang Dynasties" that is deeply imprinted in our hearts, the characters in the play have made us enthusiastic and excited.
However, now the actors who have created heroes and glories have gradually blurred in the torrent of fate. Some people, such as Nie Yuan, have gone through the baptism of life through ups and downs, but their talents are still shining; some people, such as Huang Haibing, have fallen from the peak to the trough in an instant, and now they can only live an ordinary life in obscurity; and others, such as Xie Junhao and Shi Xiaolong, have twists and turns in their fates, which makes people sigh.
Everyone's destiny is in their own hands, and their life courses are different, which eventually leads them to all corners of the world. This is the law of life, and it is also a true portrayal of life.
In the vicissitudes of the world, there are not only joyful moments of laughter and laughter, but also unforgettable moments full of moving tears, bright brilliance of glory, and there is no lack of gloomy fall of failure. These rich and diverse emotions and experiences weave together a colorful picture.
Only by sticking to the original intention and firming up the original pursuit can we turn the rudder of destiny back to the right direction and sail to the other side of the ideal in the voyage of life. As the ancients said: "The chip of destiny is man-made", each of us should bravely assume our own responsibilities, grasp our own opportunities, and create our own future!
