1. The current dilemma faced by many middle-aged stars - the appearance innovation brought by the years has brought them inner troubles and struggles.
Among them, the Rashes of Time is like a ruthless dragon slaying knife, mercilessly slicing the once precious faces of the stars, making the young figures that should be remembered gradually fade away.
When many viewers meet their past idols again, what they see in front of them is no longer the high-spirited and brave teenager they once was, but a middle-aged man with a wrinkled face and a faltering step.
In the face of this cruel reality, celebrities have very different ways of coping. Some choose to escape and spend huge sums of money on cosmetic surgery; Others leave the past behind without a memory and embrace new future possibilities; Of course, there are also people who can bravely face the erosion of time and make up for the external decline with rich connotations.
The struggles and confusion of such once-glamorous stars in the face of the formidable enemy of time are undoubtedly unprecedented.
Second, next, the article will take us back to more than 20 years ago, looking back at those who were once young and beautiful - Sun Li's pure loveliness, Gu Tianle's handsome and chic, Zhou Xun's vitality and Mei Ting's sweetness and moving.
Let's go back to more than 20 years ago, those stars who are now middle-aged, each of them was a youth idol in the hearts of a generation.
In 2003, a girl named "Sun Li" became famous overnight with the TV series "Jade Guanyin", and her pure and agile image fascinated countless audiences. Since then, the title of "Little White Flower" has always accompanied her.
At that time, Sun Li was lively and lovely, full of youth.
In 1992, Louis Koo quickly became popular because of his starring role in the campus drama "Love Front", and his heroic appearance in school uniform was known as the representative of "the most handsome man in Asia". His deep eyes and angular profile make Louis Koo the prince charming in the hearts of countless girls.
Also debuting at the same time was Zhou Xun, who stepped into the showbiz during college and created a series of classic youthful and lively roles. At that time, Zhou Xun was full of energy and vitality, leading a generation of youth trends.
As for Mei Ting, she played the heroine in the movie "Red Lover" starring Leslie Cheung, and her sweet appearance is amazing. The deep love between the two on the screen became the most beautiful symbol of that era.
Even in today's old age, recalling the good times that have gone away again still makes people nostalgic and nostalgic. Time flies, time flies, just as the dazzling light of the bright stars of the past has gradually dimmed unconsciously.
3. Focusing on the beautiful and extraordinary Mei Ting, let us deeply explore how she examines the face portrayed by fate with that perceptive and enlightened gaze, and makes up for the passage of youth with unwavering artistic pursuit.
Today's Mei Ting is no longer as sweet as she used to be. In a recent hit TV series, her wrinkled face and lifeless face made the audience stunned and dumbfounded.
The once innocent and lovely girl has now entered the middle-aged stage of aging.
However, in the face of her aging appearance, Mei Ting unabashedly showed her true appearance that had been carved by the years. The distorted and wrinkled face undoubtedly dealt a heavy blow to the audience who were still immersed in the fond memories of her.
People sighed one after another, it turned out that youth is really gone forever.
However, for Mei Ting herself, she doesn't seem to have any remorse because of the change in appearance. On the contrary, in her determined eyes, what is revealed is a persistence - a pursuit of the supremacy of dramatic art.
Indeed, Mei Ting has never deliberately relied on beautiful looks to please the audience, she devotes herself to the creation of each character, and deeply integrates her own understanding into it.
Because of this, when her superficial face gradually lost its luster under the baptism of time, she did not waver, but strengthened her inner desire for a career. For her, the years have only taken away the glitz and glitz of the surface, and the persistence of art has always burned in her heart.
This persistent power is destined for her continued brilliance in her acting career.
Therefore, when the audience sees Mei Ting's wrinkled face, what they see is not only an aging face, but also a manifestation of an actress's supreme pursuit of art and a manifestation of her unique perception of the true meaning of life.
This weather-beaten face has witnessed her lifelong pursuit of her dreams.
Fourth, extracting from Mei Ting's story and inserting Gu Tianle's experience, compared to his attempt to save his face through extreme plastic surgery, but in the end he fell into an embarrassing situation that backfired.
Compared with Mei Ting's calm and elegant face of the baptism of the years, Gu Tianle fell into a deep attachment to his once bright face and inner struggle. This superstar, who was known as "Asia's most handsome man" in the 90s, became popular overnight because of his stunning appearance when he was young.
At that time, the young and graceful Gu Tianle had white skin like jade, resolute and heroic facial features and a unique temperament, which made countless girls fall in love with him and regard him as the perfect lover in their hearts.
However, time is like a sharp blade, and after all, it has left a ruthless mark on the face of this handsome man. In the mirror, his outline gradually blurred, and wrinkles silently crawled all over his cheeks.
For all this, Gu Tianle couldn't accept it, he couldn't imagine that his once heroic and mighty face would disappear so easily.
As a star who relies on his appearance to eat, he can't bear his heroic appearance to disappear like this. Therefore, he embarked on a path of no return - seeking the ultimate plastic surgery, trying to reseal the lost youth in the mirror.
Louis Koo searched for a plastic surgeon and spent a lot of money just to smooth out wrinkles and lift sagging areas.
However, the doctors were powerless, and eventually, his face was ruthlessly destroyed, and his handsome and resolute face became stiff and unnatural, completely losing its former radiance.
witnessed all this, in addition to Louis Koo himself, there were countless heartbroken fans. They have advised Louis Koo not to cling to his lost youth anymore, but to impress the audience with his superb acting skills, rather than relying only on plastic surgery to barely maintain the glory of the past.
However, Louis Koo turned a deaf ear to this, and only wanted to restore his appearance and demeanor. Until one day, when he faced the mirror again and saw his unrecognizable face, he completely collapsed, tears rained down, helpless and confused.
At this moment, he finally understood that time could not be reversed, and using extreme means to repair it would only backfire.
Next, let's take a look at the two actresses Zhou Xun and Sun Li, how do they continue to make new breakthroughs in their acting careers and realize their self-worth with their inner passion and unremitting efforts?
Quite different from Mei Ting and Louis Koo, Zhou Xun and Sun Li both seem to have found the best way to cope with the passage of time.
Zhou Xun, an actress who is active in the front line, also cannot escape the ruthless destruction of the years. The youthful characters she once portrayed are now drifting away, and nasolabial folds and fine lines have crept up her face.
However, in the face of the gradually maturing face in the mirror, Zhou Xun never showed the slightest panic. Even when she had to play a young woman in a new challenge, she faced the huge contrast between herself and the age of her character with a sense of stride.
In an in-depth interview, when the host asked her about her personal opinion on the change in appearance, Zhou Xun responded in a novel and thought-provoking way: "External changes are inevitable, but as long as your heart is full of passion, you can always maintain your youthful vitality."
Having a positive heart and an expressive face is the foundation of her foothold in the entertainment industry.
There is no doubt that Zhou Xun is by no means the kind of person who loses himself in pursuit of ephemeral and empty superficial beauty. Instead, she is passionate about putting her heart and soul into the process of shaping each character.
In front of the camera, she has always maintained that professional spirit of full dedication, and uses her inner passion and wisdom to interpret her unique understanding.
Because of this, although the glory of youth has gradually faded, she has never stopped moving forward, but has made new breakthroughs and peak achievements on the road of career development one after another.
Like Zhou Xun, when Sun Li entered the age of 41, she also successfully got rid of the image of the former "little white flower" and began to boldly try to play a more restrained and full middle-aged female role. She knows that the years are ruthless, and her face will eventually grow old with the passage of time, so sticking to her original intention is the foundation of her life.
In the TV series "The Legend of Zhen Huan", Sun Li successfully created an introverted and intelligent image of Zhen Huan with her superb acting skills, completely subverting the pure image of the past. She understands that in order to gain a firm foothold in this rapidly changing film and television industry, it is not enough to rely on beautiful appearance, and the only way to do it is to continuously improve her acting skills.
Today's Sun Li is no longer the "little white flower" of the past, but a middle-aged actress with more mature acting skills and more colorful character building. She let go of her excessive attachment to her appearance and began to devote herself to a higher level of artistic pursuit.
For Zhou Xun and Sun Li, they have deeply understood a truth: inner passion is far better than superficial appearance.
