In the field of film and television, many creators are eager to get a piece of the pie, but it is quite challenging to produce a spy war drama with meticulous logic and smooth plot.
In 2015, the high-profile Noon Sunshine team launched the high-quality spy war drama "The Pretender".
The play is not only excellent in terms of plot, character creation and actors' performance, but also successfully attracted the enthusiastic attention of a large number of audiences.
With the popularity of the series, the actors in the play have also gone to different paths in life, some have emerged as a result, and some are still unknown.
Spiegel, as the eldest sister of the Ming family, shoulders the heavy responsibility of protecting the family and raising her younger brother.
This role requires a very high level of aura and acting skills of the actress, and under Liu Mintao's superb interpretation, the image of Spiegel, a strong woman in the business world and a loving mother at home, comes to life.
After the series aired, Liu Mintao's popularity soared, but as time went by, some of her follow-up performances were slightly exaggerated, and the popularity was no longer what it used to be.
Ming Lou, the character of wisdom and calmness, is perfectly interpreted by Jin Dong.
He became famous in one fell swoop with this role, won several awards, and was labeled as an "old cadre". However, as Jin Dong played a number of elite roles one after another, the audience gradually developed aesthetic fatigue.
Ming Cheng, as the adopted son of the Ming family, is regarded as a brother.
Wang Kai performed this role vividly and vividly, and his career reached a higher level with this drama. As a signed artist of Noon Sunshine, he has successively starred in many company-made dramas, and his performance is remarkable.
Mingtai, the male number one played by Hu Ge, takes his growth as the main line, showing the growth process in the tribulations and trials. Hu Ge successfully transformed with this drama, gradually moving from a youth idol to a powerful faction.
Yu Manli, the role that made the audience uneasy, was brilliantly performed by Song Yi.
Outside the play, she also gained a lot and got more opportunities to be the heroine.
However, not all actors are so lucky.
Cheng Jinyun, as the heroine, has been criticized for her character and acting skills. The actor Wang Lejun caused controversy because of the decline in his career and even inappropriate remarks on social platforms.
In addition, the two characters of Wang Manchun and Liang Zhongchun also left a deep impression on the audience.
Wang Ou and Yue Yang's superb acting skills have added a lot to these two roles, and they have also taken their drama careers to the next level.
The last mentioned is Liu Yijun, who became famous in one fell swoop with his supporting role in the play, showing the unique charm of a middle-aged uncle and becoming a representative of the uncle circle.
Today, "The Pretender" has been on the air for many years, but the show's impact on the actors is still far-reaching.
Their career trajectory has also undergone earth-shaking changes because of this drama, and they have become a force to be reckoned with in the film and television industry.
