What is it like to find that the male god of childhood has become a middle-aged uncle with a strong sense of husband?
In the Taiwanese drama "We Are Not Kind Enough", everyone was a little surprised when they saw that the male protagonist who was tired and swaying from side to side was actually He Junxiang.
Even the audience who hated his conduct admitted that this time he played a man who lost his enthusiasm for marriage and life very vividly.
The reason why I say this is because He Junxiang, as the goalkeeper of idol dramas, has hardly played other types of roles except for playing the little boy who can talk about love.
For a long time, he has been considered to only eat youth and is a short-lived actor.
Back then, he played the ruffian senior in "The Devil is by Your Side" and "Do You Want a Bullfight", and he was the embodiment of many primary and secondary school students' crushes-
With uninhibited wolf tail long hair, wearing a leather jacket and leather pants that pull the style, driving a motorcycle to swagger through the market, the most classic is his evil and crazy but not greasy crooked smile, which is completely in line with the fantasy of a young girl in the second year of secondary school for a bad boy.
To this day, it is difficult to find another face as beautiful, evil and demonic as his.
Now, the person called "Xiaomei" has already cut off his handsome long hair, and his lean and neat short hair shows that he is becoming more mature and stable.
Comparing his photos from more than ten or twenty years ago, I can't help but sigh: The male god of the original idol drama will marry a wife and have children one day, and the refreshing sense of youth will eventually be replaced by heavy fireworks.
We also realized that not only He Junxiang has become a husband, but the male gods of Taiwanese puppet dramas that we loved when we were children have also reached the age when they can no longer act in idol dramas.
A few days ago, Huo Jianhua, who had not appeared for a long time, was said to be old.
Obviously, he still looks in his prime, why has he reached the age of first fatigue in the blink of an eye?
I still remember that in "Dolphin Bay Lovers", he was full of youth and tenderness, and he crushed the male protagonist Xu Shaoyang without makeup.
He partnered with Hu Ge in "Fairy Sword III", playing the affectionate "White Tofu", and there is a legend that "it is Hu not Huo, and Huo can't hide".
Later, he collaborated with Zhao Liying in "Flower Thousand Bone", and since then the white-clothed master has a face.
It wasn't until he became a "scum dragon" in "The Legend of Ruyi" that he spent a lot of effort and gradually resumed his work after five years of retirement.
It was also during this time that he and Ruby Lin were upgraded from friends to lovers, got married and had children, and officially became veritable "old cadres".
In fact, the serious Huo Jianhua often makes people forget his identity as a puppet debut, he looks like a very hard lover but not romantic old antique.
Ruan Jingtian is the opposite of him, he has a face that looks honest but is very good at capturing the heart, so when he takes off the costume of a domineering president, it is even more impressive.
The explosion of "Removing the Three Evils Everywhere" was Ruan Jingtian's first shot to advance into the uncle circle.
Before this, many people saw him with the same eyebrows as Crayon Xiaoxin, and they would only subconsciously scream "Ji Cunxi"!
He is a talented player with acting skills, otherwise he would not have won the Golden Horse Best Actor with "Monga".
It's just that he is playful, compared with Huo Jianhua's high yield, he was mixed in variety shows during his rise period, resulting in his biggest work at that time being "Xu Weining's boyfriend".
Fortunately, in the year of no confusion, Ruan Jingtian, who was serious again as an actor, easily won the hearts of the audience.
And everyone often mistakes him for Ruan Jingtian's Ming Dao, and so far there has not been a more explosive work that has covered his label as a puppet prince.
In the years when the Taiwan puppet was in power, Ming Dao was a hot and popular student, and half of the idol dramas he watched after the 90s were supported by him.
From "The Prince Becomes a Frog", "Love Magician" to "The Wedding Dress of Heaven", all kinds of bosses and warm men, as long as you want to get the role of Su Broken Leg, he has played it.
However, the splendid days of the puppet did not last long, and Ming Dao did not seize the opportunity to transform successfully, but unfortunately he was like a fish being slapped on the shore, and when the tide receded, he ran aground on the beach.
In the eyes of today's young people, they may not know that he played the vigorous and resolute Shan Junhao, but they may remember the greasy love story he performed with Wenli girl.
However, Ming Dao is not confined to idol dramas, and now he is living happily, with a gentle and considerate wife and lively and lovely children, who said that this is not another idol drama life in parallel time and space?
In fact, although Taiwanese puppets are vulgar, they are more like a greenhouse for cultivating idol actors, and the Taiwanese stars we are familiar with are basically coming out of Taiwanese puppets.
is like an idol's living fossil-level F4, and the dividends of a "Meteor Garden" have made the four beautiful men eat for a lifetime.
No matter how many times they are remade, there is always a steady stream of viewers who pay for them.
Among them, Yan Chengxu has become an uncle in his forties who resolutely does not change tracks and persistently shoots idol dramas.
Zheng Yuanchang, another beautiful male originator, filmed a "Mischievous Kiss" when he was young, which is equivalent to buying an endowment insurance that will increase in value.
Until now, he can still use the original filter to make cameos in popular Taiwanese dramas such as "In My Life", "The Beginning of the Lights", and "Bad Obsession Eliminator".
A few days ago, he and Ariel Lin were on the same stage, this pair of pure love CP in the early years, their faces have not changed, as if they are still the arrogant and cold school bully Jiang Naoki and the ignorant and innocent stupid Xiangqin.
Interestingly, Tang Yuzhe was mentioned in the interview, and Zheng Yuanchang replied with high emotional intelligence that he didn't know that he already had two children: "His news is not in my world, but he is still in my world." ”
At the beginning, Tang Yuzhe relied on his bewitching appearance and gentle temperament to kill a flower path among a group of men.
Although he has played the second male for many years, his popularity is no worse than that of the protagonist, and in popular words, he single-handedly lifted the table.
Now his face is still resistant, he doesn't act much, and the most explosive news I heard about him was publicly proposing to his little girlfriend in "Brother Who Overcame Difficulties".
is his good friend Wang Dongcheng, after not taking the path of an actor, he has become very popular in the cos circle, and it can be seen to the naked eye that Dadong, who does what he wants, lives more happily and freely.
Except for being entangled by Yan Yalun every once in a while, turning out the old story of Chen Guzi's rotten sesame seeds, and occasionally singing and doing live broadcasts to bring goods, he has a more comfortable life than anyone else.
As for the myth of immortality, Lin Zhiying and Wu Zun, as early as many years ago, they logically changed their identities through "Where Are You Going, Dad" and became dads with peace of mind.
They still seem to be the same as before, but they feel that "The Star of the Sheep" and "The Princess Little Sister" are already in their last life.
These once popular Taiwanese puppet male gods clearly abide by the rules of idols, and their faces are not broken and their bodies are not out of shape, but they have silently faded out of our sight.
In the final analysis, the audience is not a stupid white sweet who only looks at faces, but also has aesthetic fatigue with idol dramas that are the same and have backward values, even if the immortals go down to the earth to film, they can't save the ratings.
Therefore, with the decline of the puppets, they were also left behind before they had time to keep up with the pace of the times.
Fortunately, Taiwanese dramas have now opened a new height, and a number of classic dramas that explore human nature and reflect reality have emerged.
The male gods were renewed, Xu Guanghan, Zeng Jinghua, and Lin Bohong took over as the main force in carrying the drama, and those who caught up with the changes of the times, such as Wu Kangren and Qiu Ze, also continued to climb to the peak of their careers.
A generation has a generation of Taiwan dramas, and a generation has a generation of idols, but I still hope that while there is a steady stream of new forces, the old traffic can also catch up bravely and be evergreen.
