Ten years ago, a heartwarming "Parental Love" quietly entered thousands of households and became a classic in the hearts of countless viewers. The six leading actors in the play painted a touching picture of love for us with their superb acting skills.
However, time flies, and when we look back at this series again, we find that the life trajectories of these six leading actors have undergone earth-shaking changes. Some people have skyrocketed and become top stars in the entertainment industry; some people have been trapped in the whirlpool of public opinion and their reputations have collapsed. What kind of ups and downs have they experienced? What is their current situation now?
Mei Ting
In the dazzling stars of the entertainment industry, Mei Ting is like a dazzling star, and her acting career is full of legend. When she was still a student, she had already been spotted by many directors, who all offered her the opportunity to be the female lead. Such opportunities are out of reach for many performance students who have graduated from junior college.
However, opportunities and challenges always coexist. Because the school stipulated that current students were not allowed to take roles, Mei Ting faced a difficult choice. After entanglement and struggle, she finally chose to drop out of school and bravely stepped into the door of the crew. This decision undoubtedly opened a new door for her acting career.
Mei Ting's talent and hard work have been duly rewarded. Her appearance and acting skills have received widespread attention and praise since her debut. Subsequently, her acting career has been advancing rapidly, with constant resources, and almost all of her roles are female leads. Especially her outstanding performance in "Parental Love" won her the love and recognition of countless audiences.
However, at the peak of her career, Mei Ting made an unexpected decision-she chose to return to her family. After marrying photographer Zeng Jianshan, she welcomed the arrival of a son and a daughter. In order to take care of her children, she focused almost all her energy on her family, and her career was naturally put aside.
This decision caused many people to question and criticize Mei Ting. Some people think she favors boys over girls, while others accuse her of lacking knowledge in parenting and being too strict with her daughter. These negative public opinions pushed Mei Ting to the forefront of the storm for a while.
However, in the face of doubts and accusations from the outside world, Mei Ting chose to face it calmly. She knows that as a mother, she has her own persistence and choices. She values family harmony and happiness more and is willing to sacrifice everything for her children.
Now, Mei Ting has returned to work again. Although her resources and influence are not what they used to be, she still maintains her love and dedication to acting.
Guo Tao
In the unforgettable period drama "Parents' Love", there is a character that the audience loves and hates, and that is "Jiang Defu" played by Guo Tao. But you know what? This actor who looks unremarkable on the screen has an acting career full of controversies and twists and turns behind him.
Back then, at the beginning of the preparation of "Parental Love", Jiang Wenwen was definitely the male lead, but due to various reasons, he missed this masterpiece. Just when the crew was struggling, Guo Tao unexpectedly came into their sight. However, the actor, known as the "Firefighter" by the outside world, has not received the respect and recognition he deserves.
"How can he play Jiang Defu well?" This was the voice of many people at the time, including directors and screenwriters. After all, Jiang Defu in the original work is a talented soldier with high emotional intelligence, which seems to be far different from Guo Tao's appearance and temperament. But Guo Tao was not defeated by these doubts. He interpreted the role in his own way and conquered the audience with his acting skills. After the
series was aired, Guo Tao's version of Jiang Defu was unexpectedly loved by the audience. His slightly honest smile, unpretentious demeanor, and persistent pursuit of love and family moved the audience. For a time, "Marry Jiang Defu" became the mantra of many women.
However, just when Guo Tao's career was at its peak, a sudden storm put him in trouble.The highly anticipated new book "The Power of Fathers" was supposed to be a milestone in his transformation into a "good man" masterpiece, but it caused an uproar because of its alleged description of violence and inappropriate remarks about women.
This incident was a huge blow to Guo Tao. His image collapsed overnight, and his label of "good man" was torn to pieces. Although he later apologized and explained, the public opinion did not calm down. His career fell into a trough, and he could not escape the shadow of this crisis for a long time.
Today, Guo Tao has gradually faded out of the public eye. Although he can still be seen on the screen occasionally, the glory and controversy of the past seem to be a thing of the past.
Liu Lin
When mentioning Liu Lin, the first thing many people think of is the role of "Jiang Dehua" she played in a certain drama. This character is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the discussion was once as popular as that of Mei Ting in the same drama. Liu Lin relied on her superb acting skills to vividly portray the image of this rural woman, as if the audience could see the real "Jiang Dehua" in life.
However, Xiao He succeeds and Xiao He fails. It is precisely because the image of "Jiang Dehua" is so deeply rooted in the hearts of the people that the audience has certain limitations on Liu Lin's acting style. In the eyes of many people, it seems that she can only play such "down-to-earth" roles, and it is difficult to accept the appearance of other images of her.
However, with the broadcast of the TV series "Do You Know", Liu Lin proved that her acting skills are not a flash in the pan. The image of the "big lady" she played in the play completely broke the audience's inherent impression of her. From a "down-to-earth" rural woman to a noble lady, Liu Lin's acting skills have been fully demonstrated.
In "Knowledge", Liu Lin performed the originally unlikable role of a lady in a lively and interesting way, and even contributed many laughs to the play. Her superb acting skills allowed the audience to see her ability to portray different roles, and she also successfully broke the audience's inherent impression of her.
With the popularity of "Knowledge", Liu Lin's resources have gradually improved. Through her social platforms, we can see that she has been busy filming. For an actor, this is undoubtedly the best affirmation.
Liu Mintao
When Ge Meixia, the "fisherman's daughter" in "Parental Love" shed tears on the screen, Liu Mintao's acting skills have quietly touched the hearts of countless viewers. This role is not only a microcosm of the real society in the play, but also a bold challenge for Liu Mintao's acting skills.
In the play, the fates of Ge Meixia and An Jie are in sharp contrast. One is a capitalist lady with a good life; the other is the daughter of a fisherman with a bad fate. But Liu Mintao dug out Ge Meixia's deep desire for life from her inferiority complex. Her performance allowed people to see the character's inner struggle and expectations.
However, after the broadcast of "Parental Love", Liu Mintao did not become famous. Her career stalled for a time and she even chose to return to her family. But the life of a housewife did not bring her the expected happiness, but made her lose herself.
Fortunately, Liu Mintao did not sink. She chose to divorce and return to her acting career. This time, she returned to the screen with more mature acting skills and firmer conviction, bringing stunning roles one after another.
Today Liu Mintao is no longer that unknown little actor. She shines in variety shows, has a succession of classic roles, and has enviable resources. Her celebrity status has far surpassed that of Mei Ting back then, and she has become a bright star in the entertainment industry.
Ren Shuai
In the bustle and bustle of the entertainment industry, there are always some actors who choose to keep a low profile and let their strength and acting skills speak for themselves. Ren Shuai is such an actor. His role as Lao Ding in "Parents' Love" is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, but he rarely attracts attention off-screen.
Lao Ding in "Parental Love" is a man who loves to read, is thoughtful and has a little humor. His pursuit in life does not seem to be lofty. He just wants to find an educated wife to spend the rest of his life with.
However, a trick of fate caused him to marry the uneducated Wang Xiu'e when he was young, and the two did not talk much about each other. Later in his single life, although Lao Ding was determined to find a partner, things went against his wishes and he eventually ended up together with Jiang Dehua.
Ren Shuai vividly displays the inner world and emotional entanglements of the character Lao Ding. His performance is both humorous and full of real life. The audience saw Lao Ding's helplessness and persistence in laughter, and also found resonance in this imperfect but realistic character.
However, the popularity of "Parental Love" did not have much impact on Ren Shuai's career. He still maintains a low-key profile in the entertainment industry and has not been involved in scandals for many years since his debut. This may puzzle some stars who pursue hype and exposure, but for Ren Shuai, what he values more is the improvement of acting skills and character creation.
Ren Shuai is an interesting person in life. He is good at observing life, capturing details, and integrating these elements into his performances. His friends often say that Ren Shuai is like a child who is always full of curiosity, full of love and expectation for life.
Although Ren Shuai's career did not become popular because of "Parents' Love", he left a deep impression on the audience. His acting skills and character have been recognized and praised by the industry.
In this noisy entertainment circle, Ren Shuai exists like a breath of fresh air, interpreting the true meaning of the profession of actor in his own way.
Liu Yijun
When mentioning the name Liu Yijun, you may not immediately think of a specific character, but his face must have left a deep impression on you. This "veteran drama star" has proven with his strength that in the entertainment industry, you don't have to be the protagonist to shine.
Going back to the drama "Parents' Love", although the role of "Ouyang Yi" played by Liu Yijun is not the protagonist, he has won widespread praise from the audience for his superb acting skills. He vividly displayed the elegance and elegance of a young man from a wealthy family, as if he was the epitome of that era.
What's even more valuable is that he can perfectly integrate the character's intellectual temperament in the early stage with the vicissitudes of life after being labeled a "rightist" in the later stage, making the character's image more three-dimensional and fuller.
Such acting skills make it impossible to imagine that this is the same character changing before and after. But Liu Yijun did it. He used his own strength to prove to the audience that he was more than just a "supporting role."
However, after "Parental Love", Liu Yijun's career did not explode as expected. The roles he plays are often popular but not popular, but he is not discouraged. On the contrary, he worked harder to study his acting skills and constantly improved himself. He understands that in the highly competitive arena of the entertainment industry, only by continuous improvement can one gain a firm foothold.
Finally, Liu Yijun successfully broke through with his outstanding performance in dramas such as "The Pretender", "Nirvana in Fire", and "Storm", allowing the audience to see a different side of him. He used his own strength to prove that he is not only a "supporting role", but also an actor with unlimited possibilities.
Today, Liu Yijun has become a recognized "old drama star" in the industry, and his acting skills have been widely recognized. What's even more valuable is that he has never been involved in any scandals and has always maintained a good image and reputation. This is one of the reasons why he has a lot of film appointments now.
Looking to the future, we look forward to Liu Yijun continuing to bring more superb performances to the audience. I believe that with his efforts, his acting career will usher in a more brilliant tomorrow. At the same time, we also hope that more actors can use their strength and hard work to prove their value and charm like Liu Yijun.
