Recently, Yan Chengxu participated in the variety show "Brother Who Cut Through Thorns", and in the final, he won the fifth place among all his brothers, successfully "graduated" and successfully joined the "Piping Hot Family" group.
And his frequent appearances can also be regarded as setting off a wave of memory killing, making people wonder how F4, which was once popular with him, is now living.
F4 debuted 20 years ago, when fans and audiences who liked them are now married and have children, but they still can't forget the memories of buying their posters and hanging them on the wall, sticking stickers printed from their photos on books, and using walkmans to listen to the tapes of their albums.
In 2001, the TV series "Meteor Garden" adapted from the manga "Fancy Man" was broadcast, and Yan Chengxu, Zhou Yumin, Wu Jianhao, and Zhu Xiaotian formed the F4 group because they played the roles of Daomingji, Hanazawa, Misaku and Ximen in the play.
Because the drama "Meteor Garden" is too hot, it can be called the originator of Taiwanese idol dramas, setting a record for Taiwanese TV dramas with an average rating of 6.99, and maintaining this record for 5 years. Therefore, several handsome actors have naturally received great popularity.
After the TV series was broadcast, F4 quickly became popular in Asia, and will also tour Indonesia, the Philippines, Thailand and other places, and set a record for the Chinese to open seven consecutive concerts in Japan.
In 2006, F4 was interviewed by CNN, and F4 also became the Asian group that CNN interviewed for the first time, and its popularity and popularity can be comparable to that of Jay Chou.
F4 not only equaled Jay Chou's concert record, but also cooperated with Jay Chou to shoot promotional films for well-known brands, and its popularity was comparable.
However, with the different development directions of F4 people and their own opportunities, they have slowly begun to develop in different directions. In the last 10 years there are not many opportunities for F4 integration. Last year, at the evening party of the satellite TV "One Thousand and One Nights", the integration of F4 was also realized by holographic projection technology
Now it seems that the situation of the 4 people is also very different, some people have turned red again, some people are in a state of semi-retreat, and their income is also much worse.
01 Yan Chengxu
In fact, after acting in "Meteor Garden", Yan Chengxu did not achieve a great breakthrough, and has been insisting on the field of idol dramas, although his age is increasing, he still has not transformed himself.
Even last year, the 43-year-old Yan Chengxu was still cooperating with Shen Yue, the heroine of the new version of "Meteor Garden", in the idol drama "I Like You So Much", and his idol drama not only changed the heroine for two generations, but also accompanied two generations of audiences. Although he also developed in the entertainment industry, many people are also worried about his future.
Unexpectedly, this year's variety show "Brother With Thorns" made Yan Chengxu usher in a good opportunity to turn popular. In the show, Yan Chengxu's clear eyes and non-greasy temperament won the favor of many viewers.
Moreover, he also admitted in the program that he had some inferiority and timid dilemmas in these years, and bravely learned to sing and dance, achieving a breakthrough and making people impressed.
In the end, Yan Chengxu won the fifth place in the finals in "Brother with Thorns", and joined the "Piping Hot Family" in a high position, which shows the high popularity of his.
Not only that, Yan Chengxu also established a deep friendship with actor Zhang Yunlong in the show, and Yan Chengxu, who was once somewhat introverted, also opened his heart and made a lot of friends, so that everyone saw a very different sunshine male Yan Chengxu.
Now Yan Chengxu has also been exposed that the film remuneration has risen sharply to 20 million, and it can be ranked at the forefront among Taiwanese artists. Although he is still single after breaking up with Lin Chiling, the transformation and success of his career can also be regarded as making up for some regrets.
02 Zhou Yumin
Zhou Yumin's parents divorced since childhood, has always had a melancholy temperament, but also because of his handsome appearance and unique temperament, when he played The Flower Ze class in "Meteor Garden", his popularity was not lost to Yan Chengxu of the Daoming Temple.
After "Meteor Garden", he played a more varied role, acting in both the series of "Hero of the Leper" and the costume drama "Fire Like a Song".
But Zhou Yumin is not a prolific actor, and he once died unexpectedly because of his ex-girlfriend Xu Weilun, coupled with the pressure of the entertainment industry and the unfortunate depression of his original family. At the worst time, Zhou Yumin said that he had no pain and was not afraid of death.
Fortunately, Zhou Yumin strongly walked out of this mood and married and had children with actor Yu Hongyuan, which is also a very difficult thing.
Now, Zhou Yumin has once again broken through the transformation and starred in the 8.7 high-scoring TV series "Reverse Game", in which he played Liang Yandong, who was framed to become a lawyer.
Zhou Yumin's increasingly mature acting skills also played the image of Liang Yandong, who was deep, introverted, highly intelligent, and full of stories, which was very attractive.
And Zhou Yumin, 40 years old this year, has changed a lot more than when he played The Flower Ze class before, he has lost some weight, and he has a beard, and he has a more vicissitudes. Although the sense of youth is not there, it is still charming and flavorful. I believe that after starring in "Reverse Game" this time, he can also make his popularity go to a higher level.
03 Wu Jianhao
Wu Jianhao was not particularly prominent in the F4 period, but his development was not bad after that. He is also a multi-talented person who has transformed very early.
When filming the TV series "Next Stop Happiness", he left a short hair that was completely different from that in "Meteor Garden", so that everyone could see his handsome side.
After that, he also produced many music albums because he could sing and dance, and he was considered to have the highest level of singing and dancing in F4 and the most comprehensive business ability.
Previously, Wu Jianhao was in "This! It is the star captain in the "Street Dance" program, which once again proves the strength of his dance.
When he performed the flowing martial arts action in "Ip Man 4: The End", everyone saw more possibilities for him.
However, Wu Jianhao's married life was not smooth, he had married Singapore's tens of billions of gold stones, but 5 years later, the two parted ways.
And Wu Jianhao also plans to participate in the variety show "Chase the Light!" this year. Brother Season 2. Although Wu Jianhao has not been a red flow, the long-term development of the cause is also good. It is believed that with Yan Chengxu's first set off a memory killing in "The Brother Who Cut through thorns", Wu Jianhao can also gain a lot of popularity in the new variety show.
04 Zhu Xiaotian
However, not all of the members of F4 have developed well, and Zhu Xiaotian is a relatively forgotten one of the few people.
Because his film and television works are getting less and less, and he almost does not participate in variety shows, plus his figure and appearance are not as good as that year, his popularity has declined rapidly, almost in a state of semi-retreat.
But in fact, the reason behind Zhu Xiaotian's situation is also painful. When he was a child, he worked and studied to support his family, which made him asthmatic and depressed at an early age.
After growing up, Zhu Xiaotian was hard to discover and become an actor, with a certain fame, life began to gradually change, but he did not expect that he suffered from "fibromyalgia".
Because of the pain and the influence of drugs, Zhu Xiaotian began to be blessed, which in turn affected his acting path, which even became a vicious circle, making his life worse and worse. He did an online variety show called "Filial Piety Food Brigade" last year and did not make any splash.
Zhu Xiaotian even said in a recent interview that he was the worst person in F4. Saying such a thing yourself also makes people feel very sad.
Zhu Xiaotian said that as a man, he has no income for more than a year, and revealed that he has not had a good life in the past 10 years, and now it is even more low.
Fortunately, however, he also reaped the happiness of marriage in 2016. Zhu Xiaotian's wife is mainland actress Han Wenwen, and the two became acquainted when filming the TV series "Dreams Come True".
Zhu Xiaotian was very good to his wife, putting the property and real estate under his wife's name, and Zhu Xiaotian did not even have a car under his name. And Han Wenwen also did not abandon Zhu Xiaotian, and also said to Zhu Xiaotian: "If you really have no money, I will raise you!" This made Zhu Xiaotian very moved.
The couple is really suffering and seeing the truth. However, due to Zhu Xiaotian's physical problems, they also decided not to have children and do Dink, which is a small regret.
epilogue
F4 has now been debuted for 20 years, and the idols who used to be popular all over the country have now reached the age of being uncles, and the 4 also have 4 different life states, career states and marriage and love states.
Sometimes, it is impossible to predict how red it will be and how long it will be red, and there will even be a situation where passers-by are not linked to strength, so don't be too discouraged when you are at a low point.
But whether they choose to continue to work hard for their careers or return to their families, they all hope that several F4 members who have left classic memories can work smoothly and live comfortably.
