Episode 004
In 2000, the costume drama "Princess Huaiyu" was broadcast on Taiwan and later introduced to the mainland, which immediately aroused a frenzy of chasing dramas. Although its popularity rate is not as good as the 1998 version of "Huan Zhu Gege", it has also received extremely high ratings and achieved good results in both sides of the strait and three places.
And the popularity of this drama also directly won the popularity of the two major starring Zheng Jiayu and Sun Yaowei, especially Zheng Jiayu became a well-known actress with this drama at that time, and the star path can be said to be a bright.
Many people also felt that Zheng Jiayu's future development path definitely did not belong to other famous actresses in the circle at that time. What is surprising is that at the peak of Zheng Jiayu's career, she announced the end of the film, and when she came back again, the glory of the past had long become the past.

Since she was a child, Ms. Cheng lived in a divorced family, when she grew up in Taiwan with her grandparents. It was not until the age of 11 that Zheng Jiayu was taken to life in the United States by his mother, where Zheng Jiayu spent 12 years.
At the age of 16, Zheng Jiayu, who was in the rebellious period of youth, chose to run away from home and return to Taiwan during an argument with his mother.
At that time, Zheng Jiayu was bent on self-reliance, so he returned to Taiwan to seek part-time work opportunities.
At the beginning, Zheng Jiayu first worked in an ordinary restaurant in Taiwan, and then considered that he had good foreign language skills, so he entered a company as a public relations translator, and it was also in this company that Zheng Jiayu began to contact the entertainment industry from another level.
At that time, The company where Zheng Jiayu worked and many record companies had business contacts. Because of its fresh image and good temperament, whenever there is business contact, the staff of the other party will always ask Zheng Jiayu if he wants to debut.
Although many girls at that time were proud to be able to become stars, Zheng Jiayu did not have the slightest interest in the show business circle, when her life had unlimited possibilities, so the complex entertainment industry was not her first choice.
Because of this, Zheng Jiayu also pushed away multiple invitations that came and went. Soon after, her mother personally returned to Taiwan to find Zheng Jiayu, and Zheng Jiayu soon returned to the United States.
As everyone knows, this rush and choice also made her acting career be delayed for up to 7 years. Seven years later, the 24-year-old Zheng Jiayu began to try to enter the circle out of interest and began a decades-long acting career.

In the early days, Cheng was looking to taiwan's film industry for development, and she had a strong interest in film at that time. In 1995, Zheng Jiayu first starred in the movie "Wandering Stage" as the second female number, which opened up a certain popularity for Zheng Jiayu, and the film directly entered the shortlist of Taiwan's Golden Horse Awards.
With the expectation and longing for the movie, Zheng Jiayu has a yearning for the big screen. However, Taiwan's film industry at that time did not perform well, on the contrary, TV dramas had good room for development. Therefore, after a period of deliberation, Zheng Jiayu finally chose to follow most of the actors into the tv industry.
Compared with the actors of the same period, Zheng Jiayu is undoubtedly lucky. In the early years, because of his wonderful performance in a TV series, Zheng Jiayu was selected by director Xu Ligong to star in the TV series "Four Thousand Gold", which directly opened up Zheng Jiayu's popularity at that time, with this drama, Zheng Jiayu began to be known by the audience in Taiwan.
After that, Zheng Jiayu took advantage of the victory to pursue, starring in several TV series in a row, accumulating a certain degree of popularity. In 1999, Zheng Jiayu was selected by the producers of China Television to play the role of the female number one "Huaiyu" in the TV series "Princess Huaiyu", and since then, with this role, Zheng Jiayu has quickly become popular and has a high reputation in both sides of the strait and three places.

"Princess Huaiyu", released in 2000, can be said to be an important turning point in Zheng Jiayu's life. But although this turning point gave her a big surprise in her career, it also caused her to suffer emotional damage, making her feel very uncomfortable for a long time.
At that time, because of filming this costume drama, Zheng Jiayu met another starring Sun Yaowei. Sun Yaowei already had a certain reputation in the Taiwan entertainment industry at that time, and his bright and handsome image left a deep impression on people and became the general existence of "popular young students" in the circle at that time, and the career of Xingtu can be said to be a good one.
Compared with Zheng Jiayu's sensitivity, Sun Yaowei is frank and warm. At that time, although she entered the crew as the female number one, most of the staff of the crew were not optimistic about Zheng Jiayu, because although Zheng Jiayu had a certain reputation at that time, many people thought that this fame was not enough for her to get the role of "Huaiyu".
Because of this, for a long time, Zheng Jiayu felt only "indifference", at that time, for this TV series, only the leader of Huashi was really optimistic, and others were a mocking mentality for her, thinking that this role was obtained by her through other means.
Under such a pressure, the once cheerful Zheng Jiayu gradually became inferior, and Sun Yaowei, who was at the scene, also saw all this. At that time, all he could do was to accompany Zheng Jiayu's side and cheer her up and encourage her. Because of this, in Zheng Jiayu's memory, Sun Yaowei is a very warm person.
Coupled with the fact that the two are starring at the same time, there are many rival scenes. At that time, Zheng Jiayu often installed a small bottle of whiskey on the waist of the costume in order to alleviate the painful emotions, and drank it when there was nothing to do, which led to a long time after filming with Sun Yaowei, Sun Yaowei could often smell the wine on Zheng Jiayu's body, and he also became more sympathetic to Zheng Jiayu.
The two developed feelings for each other under the cooperation of each other, but this relationship has not been known to the outside world since the beginning. At that time, many media believed that it was because Sun Yaowei considered the development of his career, so he did not disclose the fact that the two had a relationship. So that this relationship was only understood when it was time to break up.
Most people think that Sun Yaowei hurt Zheng Jiayu, so that after this, Zheng Jiayu faded out of the show business cultivation, and many people blamed Sun Yaowei.
But after many years, when talking about this matter again, Zheng Jiayu said: "I actually never felt that Sun Yaowei hurt me, I actually felt that I was hurt, the real reason is only known, what the outside world says is not true."
For Zheng Jiayu, Sun Yaowei is always the one who gave her warmth in the crew, even if the two did not come together in the end, zheng Jiayu did not want to give the other party public opinion pressure because of himself.

After "Princess Huaiyu", Zheng Jiayu's original acting career was actually quite clear. But what many people did not expect was that after this drama, the TV series starring Zheng Jiayu basically failed to surpass this one.
So much so that later, when Zheng Jiayu talked about this matter in an interview, he also said: "This drama has indeed brought me pain, but at the same time, I can't deny that my wealth in the next ten years is also because of this drama." ”
Sometimes, an actor encounters a drama that suits him, which may be a fateful fate. And it is true that the drama "Princess Huaiyu" is such a existence for Zheng Jiayu.
It's just a pity that after this drama, Zheng Jiayu's career has also returned to flat. She has starred in a series in a mediocre TV series, and she has also been announced to be out of the film for three years because of a burn incident.
As an actor, Zheng Jiayu also hoped to have a good development on the road of show business, but as he grew older, the acting market demanded more and more on actresses.
Zheng Jiayu is no longer willing to play some roles younger than himself, so over time, he has stopped his acting career.
Until 2013, Zheng Jiayu's mother died of cancer, and before leaving, she told Zheng Jiayu that she hoped to see her act again. It was such a sentence that made Zheng Jiayu, who was nearly 40 years old at the time, announce his comeback again.
It's just a pity that this comeback has long lost its previous glory. The entertainment industry is originally a changing circle, as long as you do not appear for a period of time, even if it is a few months or half a year, it will make your popularity gradually decline, until finally can not stir up a splash.
When Zheng Jiayu appeared in people's field of vision again, her acting path has long become narrow, and the roles she can play are basically some supporting roles, which can be said to be quite regrettable.

Today, the 50-year-old Zheng Jiayu has long faded out of the show business circle and returned to his own life. For many years, Zheng Jiayu has always maintained a single state, and compared with the complexity and pressure in the show business circle, her life is flat but also has a little beauty.
