The decade from the beginning of the 20th century to about 10 years is probably the most prosperous decade of the development of Taiwanese idol dramas. From the beginning of "Meteor Garden" in 2001, idol dramas became official dramas, which opened the era of Taiwanese idol dramas that were all the rage.
From "The Prince Becomes a Frog" to "Destined I Love You" to "Mischievous Kiss", these classic Taiwanese idol dramas not only mark the mark of an era, but also the childhood memories of many people. And the male protagonists in these idol dramas are also impressive, becoming well-known and well-known movie stars. But after the fading of the light and capital support of idol dramas, what is their current situation? The following ten well-known Taiwan puppet drama "princes" will tell you the answer in the future.
01 Nguyen Thanh
"Green Light Forest" and "Destined to Love You", these are the classic idol dramas starring Ruan Jingtian. In particular, in 2008, the drama "Destined I Love You" created the highest record in the history of Taiwanese idol dramas, and Ruan Jingtian also became a fire.
In 2009, Ruan Jingtian took advantage of the victory to pursue, starred in the movie "Mengjia", and became the Golden Horse Film Emperor. However, after a while of popularity, all that remains is loneliness.
In recent years, except for the cooperation with Yang Mi in "Fu Shao" in 18 years, the audience has rarely seen Ruan Jingtian's works, only occasionally participating in one or two variety shows, and it seems that Ruan Jingtian has almost fallen to the point where there is no drama to shoot.
However, there has been no development in his career, and Ruan Jingtian's love affair and scandal have not fallen. The "uncle-nephew love" with Song Zu'er was rumored to be boiling over, until the Taiwan media exposed that the two had been separated for eight months, and the melon-eating masses suddenly realized, but this matter has not been positively responded to by the two.
This year, another Taiwan media filmed on Valentine's Day, Ruan Jingtian and Xu Caiqing went out together, the two behaved intimately, it seems that Ruan Jingtian never lacked girlfriends around him.
In fact, many years ago, in love with Liu Pinyan, Ruan Jingtian has already confirmed the title of "scumbag". In 2007, he turned around and fell in love with Xu Weining for eight years, and during this eight years, Ruan Jingtian's scandals continued, which made Xu Weining's heart ache, and finally the two parted ways.
I have to say that Ruan Jingtian's private life is very exciting, ten years ago Ruan Jingtian seemed to have opened his life, but now he has completely become a paste. It seems that if Ruan Jingtian can put more energy into his career, I am afraid that he will not be lonely now.
02 Mingdao
Mention Ruan Jingtian, then the next step must be Ming Dao. The two were once confused by the audience because of their resemblance, but Ming Dao was actually Ruan Jingtian's predecessor, after all, Ming Dao became famous before Ruan Jingtian because of "The Prince Becomes a Frog". The two also partnered chen qiaoen to star in the idol drama fire, so some people say that Ruan Jingtian is riding a ride on the Ming Dao.
Speaking of the same idol drama prince, the real Ming Dao is not living the life of a prince, and all this stems from his gambling brother. Mingdao's brother committed suicide after strangling his wife and children because he was unable to repay his debts, which made Mingdao feel great pain and shock, and the final 6 million debts were also borne on Mingdao's head.
In recent years, Mingdao's acting road has not developed smoothly, first participating in "Actors Please Take Place" saying that he has no drama to shoot for more than a year, and then participating in the variety show "Chasing The Light Bar Brother" was spit on and greasy.
Mingdao, who is over 40 years old, has long lost the handsome image of the small fresh meat of that year, but he still relies on selling the domineering president of N years ago to attract people's attention, bringing only disgust to the audience. There are also netizens who broke the news that Ming Dao joined Zhang Ting's company to do activities, in which the interaction with some female employees is too close, although the official is said to be a corporate culture, but in reality, let the male star make such an ambiguous drama when promoting, most people are still not very acceptable.
In addition to taking variety shows and doing activities, Mingdao has now also engaged in live streaming with goods. Only to see the place where Mingdao live broadcast is like at home, behind the TV set is his idol drama "The Wedding Dress of Heaven" from more than ten years ago, while telling the story of his own filming, while live streaming with goods, thus relying on selling feelings to drive the audience's emotions.
Even with such effort, Ming Dao still could not make much of a splash. Now Mingdao has no good resources and no traffic, participating in variety shows is also ridiculed as "human oil", and the current film and television drama market is not short of actors who are better at this age, it seems that it is impossible to turn popular.
03 Yan Chengxu
As the originator of Taiwan puppet drama, Yan Chengxu relied on "Meteor Garden" to make a mess of fire. But unlike the domineering president Ofeungji temple in the play, the real Yan Chengxu is a sensitive and inferior person, and for the comments of the outside world, Yan Chengxu is troubled by his heart, so this is also an important reason why he has been silent for many years.
This year, Yan Chengxu participated in the popular variety show "Brother Who Cut Through Thorns", but unexpectedly turned red. There is no selling feelings, nor does it use the domineering president's people to set up the eyeballs, yan Chengxu's turning red, may not be in addition to its own body management online, the appearance is refreshing, but also with the more real personality charm presented in the show is inseparable.
However, Yan Chengxu's drama road has never jumped out of the spell of idol dramas, and the "I Like You" starring Shen Yue before not only has a low rating, but also exposes his acting shortcomings. It seems that some people say that some actors rely on a play to eat for a lifetime, and Yan Chengxu is most likely such an actor.
04 Zheng Yuanchang
In 2005, Zheng Yuanchang became popular because of the role of Jiang Naoki in "Mischievous Kiss", becoming a veritable idol drama prince of that era.
Around 10 years ago, Zheng Yuanchang began to gradually try to transform, and also participated in some suspense dramas, but they did not seem to be very successful. The most recent drama is "The Origin of Love" starring Jiang Xin, but this drama was also basically hit the street at that time.
This year's actor competition variety show, "I Am an Actress", has exposed Zheng Yuanchang's costume shortcomings and business capabilities. First of all, in the placement session, Zheng Yuanchang's attitude towards the contestants was all based on personal preferences, giving reasons such as "I want to teach her to reduce edema, I also like this", so that the audience felt that Zheng Yuanchang was unprofessional and playing like a joke.
Secondly, a fragment of Zheng Yuanchang's performance of "Huan Zhu Gege", first from the shape, the flag head completely exposed Zheng Yuanchang's brain door, and the appearance value was directly pulled down. Then there is the operation of a rich Hong Kong and Taiwan accent and exaggerated acting skills, which makes the audience scratch their heads and greatly reduce his impression.
Zheng Yuanchang, who has no drama to shoot, recently did a personal food variety show - the second season of "Zheng Yuanchang's Unprofessional Kitchen". In the show, Zheng Yuanchang became a talker, chatted for an hour and a half and did not start cooking, it seems that I am quite talkative. However, Cheng Ye Jiang Naoki, defeated Also Jiang Naoki, most viewers should not remember that in addition to Jiang Naoki, Zheng Yuanchang has any non-idol drama roles out of the circle.
05 Lin Zhiying
Lin Zhiying, an immortal male god, once called "the Four Little Kings of Taiwan" together with Jin Chengwu, Su Youpeng and Wu Qilong, and his fire spread all over the country.
In the heyday of Taiwanese idol dramas, Lin Zhiying also filmed many Taiwanese puppet dramas. Among them, "The Star Of the Shepherd" and "Rainbow Sweetheart" are well-known works.
However, Lin Zhiying's later operation was a big surprise. With the heat of contrasting with Guo Degang and the gimmick of the "immortal male god", Lin Zhiying sold health care drugs. The health care drug priced at 1080 per bottle is known as Lin Zhiying's secret recipe for freezing age. But in fact, the cost price is only 4 pieces, or produced in a small workshop, does not have any beauty effects, Lin Zhiying not only collapsed in the image of the male god, but also lost 6 million powder overnight.
Later, after having children, Lin Zhiying gradually focused on the family, and basically stopped filming. It was not until participating in the variety show "Where Did Daddy Go", from the warm interaction with his son, that Lin Zhiying became popular for a while. In recent years, the variety show "Mother-in-law and Mother" has shown everyone the whole picture of his family.
And on the question of participating in the TV series, Lin Zhiying's wife Chen Ruoyi also gave an answer on the variety show, she said that Lin Zhiying felt that she was older, and her appearance was naturally not as good as before, fortunately, she did not spend energy and physical strength to act so many things, she put her energy on other work, it seems that now it is difficult to see Lin Zhiying have new film and television works.
06 Huo Jianhua
Huo Jianhua was born in a family of civil servants, his brother was a policeman, and his parents also hoped that Huo Jianhua could work as a policeman or doctor. Unexpectedly, Huo Jianhua liked to sing when he was young, so he stepped into the entertainment circle and longed to become a singer.
The purpose of acting at the beginning, Huo Jianhua wanted to get the opportunity to sing the soundtrack of the TV series, but he did not think that the opportunity to sing did not wait, and he has been developing along the actor's route.
In fact, Huo Jianhua also filmed many puppet dramas in his early years, such as "Dolphin Bay Lovers" and "100% of Gold", etc., and therefore fell in love with Chen Qiaoen because of the drama in cooperation, and the two fell in love for many years. Later, he also starred in the idol drama "Emerald on the Roof" with Sun Li, but only after gradually turning inland did he begin to leave the idol drama market.
Since the birth of his daughter in 17 years, Huo Jianhua has focused on the family, and has not filmed for more than a year, and hopes to see Huo Jianhua's works again.
07 Wu Zun
Wu Zun also had many idol dramas in that year, from "The Ultimate Class" to "Oriental Juliet" to the later "Princess Little Sister", Wu Zun almost became a professional idol drama household. Many people's impression of him is still stuck in the role of Nanfeng Jin in "Princess Little Sister".
In 14 years, he took his children to participate in "Where Daddy Goes", but in terms of film and television works, it has never set off much splash, which may be the limitation of the birth of idol dramas, which limits the development of Wu Zun's acting career.
Recently, Wu Zun posted his 42nd birthday photos on social platforms, and the family of four looked happy. It is reported that Wu Zun has made a lot of profits in investment, it seems that acting is only as his own personal hobby in operation, although in recent years there is no work output, but from the photos can be seen that Wu Zun maintenance is good, many male artists who are blessed should learn to learn.
08 He Junxiang
He Junxiang is also from Taiwanese idol dramas, debuted in cooperation with Ariel Lin "Love Contract", and later starred in "The Devil is Around" with Rainie Yang, and also partnered with Wang Xinling to star in "Love Cha Meile", cooperating with well-known actresses in Taiwanese puppet dramas, becoming a generation of youth idol drama male gods.
Later, He Junxiang gradually retired, returned to the family, and then learned of his recent situation, which was already the news of his daughter's birth. In fact, He Junxiang's family is well-off, but he has always relied on himself to work hard in the entertainment industry, which can be said to be the inspirational representative of the second generation of the rich.
It is reported that He Junxiang and his current wife have been in contact since high school, and they have been in love for 13 years before entering the marriage hall, and it is not easy to think about it. He Junxiang now has two daughters, but recently he has been caught in the storm of public opinion because of his inappropriate remarks. When the reporter asked "will there be a third child", He Junxiang bluntly said that he wanted to make sure that the son was regenerated, and if it was a daughter, he might not want to give birth. Such remarks have aroused the dissatisfaction of many netizens, and also made He Junxiang's childhood filter shattered.
09 Chen Bailin
There are also many idol dramas starring Chen Bailin, such as "Fast Youth" and "I May Not Love You", which are representative works of his Puppet Drama.
In 19 years, Chen Bailin partnered Zhang Tianai to star in the idol drama "Crocodile and Toothpick Island", when he was 36 years old, he played the 25-year-old male protagonist Zhou Erwen in the play, and the actual age of the supporting actors was generally 245, which was undoubtedly a huge challenge. Until 2020, Chen Bailin was still playing the male protagonist of the idol drama in the TV series "Identifying Love Men and Women".
It is undeniable that Chen Bailin has come all the way, with his handsome appearance, he has become the male protagonist of many idol dramas, and now that he is nearly 40 years old, he still cannot escape the curse of idol dramas.
Many people have a role filter for Li Daren, played by Chen Bailin in "I May Not Love You", but Chen Bailin himself responded in an interview, "I myself am quite relaxed, in fact, the role of Li Daren is not so similar to mine." He's just a character, not quite like me."
Indeed, Chen Bailin in life has a lot of casualness, he has a wide range of interests, likes to eat food and travel, but also likes cooking, music and movies, for a long time, Chen Bailin is renting a house life, he hopes that he will not be bound. In terms of feelings, after Chen Bailin suffered several emotional injuries, he and Chen Tingxuan, a member of the women's group, had a scandal for 9 years, before the woman was blown out of the hospital to freeze eggs, Chen Bailin also said that he had plans to get married and have children, I am afraid that the two good things are near.
Judging from the acting career in recent years, Chen Bailin basically has works output. In 10 years, he also set up his own clothing brand, and it seems that he has not fallen behind in terms of commercial operation, which is a good mix among these puppet princes.
10 beams
Born in 1981, Zhang Dongliang is a Malaysian Chinese singer and actor. After graduating from university in Taiwan, Zhang Dongliang participated in many Taiwanese puppet dramas.
The most impressive is the "Smile Pasta" starring Zhang Dongliang and Wang Xinling, which was launched in 2006 and set off a ratings frenzy at that time, Zhang Dongliang was called "Prince of Smile" because of his temperament in sunshine literature and art.
Later, Zhang Dongliang said in an interview that what he was most afraid of was laughing, and he used to laugh 66 times a day, laughing so hard that his face was stiff. At the most popular time, Zhang Dongliang changed into depression and chose to withdraw from the circle. This is also the reason why after "Smile Pasta", the audience could not see Zhang Dongliang for a long time.
But the entertainment industry is developing rapidly, and when it comes to comeback, it is no longer what it used to be. Since then, Zhang Dongliang has also starred in many Taiwan puppet dramas such as "Invincible Shan Bao Sister" and "The Queen Does Not Leave Work", and even his last TV series, "A Thousand Good Nights", is also an idol drama he starred in 19 years, but when people have gradually forgotten Zhang Dongliang, these dramas naturally follow the street.
The male god is no longer a male god, from his recent photos, Zhang Dongliang's body is thin and his appearance is collapsed, some people recognize him as Yuan Chengjie or Chen Sicheng, no one thought that this person would be Zhang Dongliang.
The above ten puppet drama princes, they also became idol dramas, and failed also idol dramas. They have eaten up the dividends of idol dramas, but when the puppet dramas fall lonely, they also "collapse". It seems that being able to go with the flow and look for opportunities for transformation at the right time is the right choice for actors. And excellent acting skills are the key to the arrival of opportunities. After all, if you have to rely on the handsomeness in the idol drama to eat at an old age, it will only embarrass yourself and the audience.
