still remember that summer, a TV series called "Love Apartment" swept across like a breeze and quickly occupied our screens and hearts. It is not only a drama, but also a memory of our youth, a testimony of the time spent laughing with friends and cuddling with lovers. Each character seems to be a friend around us, and their joys, sorrows, and joys are intertwined with our lives.
Once upon a time, those faces were so familiar and those laughter were so kind. They came into our sight because of that drama, and they also became popular because of that drama. But who can predict the ups and downs of the entertainment industry? Now, 15 years have passed, what is the fate of those leading actors who once made us laugh?
Chen He
When we mention the familiar line "A good man is me, I am Zeng Xiaoxian!", will you think of the popular character in "Love Apartment" - Zeng Xiaoxian? His actor, Chen He, became famous all over the country for his role and enjoyed the first wave of dividends in his acting career.
But acting is not the only path Chen He can take. People around him, including his uncle, the famous director Chen Kaige, have provided a lot of help for his development in the entertainment industry.
However, Chen He did not completely rely on the support of his family. With his own efforts, he filmed many film and television dramas. Although he failed to surpass the peak of "Love Apartment", his popularity continued to rise.
However, life is always full of variables. When Chen He encountered setbacks in his love life and was labeled a "scumbag", he chose to bid farewell to the film and television industry for a short time and instead entered the variety show industry. This transformation actually allowed him to usher in the spring of his career again.
In the variety show circle, Chen He has won the love of the audience with his humorous talent and affinity. His popularity soared again with the popularity of shows such as "Run". But this time, he was not satisfied with his immediate success, but began to look for more development opportunities.
He first founded his own fashion brand to pass on his fashion ideas to more people. Then, he formed an e-sports team and entered the e-sports industry, showing his love and support for e-sports. Finally, he also opened a hot pot restaurant, expanding his business territory into the catering field.
Today's Chen He is no longer the "Zeng Xiaoxian" who can only act. He used his hard work and wisdom to successfully transform into a business tycoon.
Lou Yixiao
When that familiar yet unfamiliar face comes into view, can you still recognize that this is the Hu Yifei who spent our youth with us in "Love Apartment"? That straightforward, energetic and youthful female college student is now a completely different person.
Looking back on that year, 19-year-old Lou Yixiao became popular with her role as Hu Yifei and became a "heartthrob" in the hearts of countless viewers. However, the good times did not last long. As the series progressed, Hu Yifei's charm seemed to gradually weaken. The audience began to question her acting skills, feeling that she could never escape the shadow of Hu Yifei.
In order to break through herself, Lou Yixiao has tried many different roles and fields. From a dancer in "Dance Forest" to an actor in a costume drama, she has been working hard to find new directions. However, in the process of her efforts to pursue transformation, the "midlife crisis" quietly came.
Faced with the increasingly unfamiliar face in front of the camera, netizens have speculated whether Lou Yixiao has been affected by plastic surgery and medical aesthetics. In response, she frankly responded that her facial changes were just because she grew up. However, this explanation failed to completely eliminate everyone's doubts.
When her acting career encountered a bottleneck, Lou Yixiao followed the trend and turned into the embrace of live streaming. With her former popularity and childhood filters, she quickly made a name for herself in the field of short videos. In the live broadcast room, she talked and laughed happily and promoted various products with ease, as if she had found a new stage of her own.
Now, when we see Lou Yixiao again, she is no longer the young female college student Hu Yifei.The passage of time has made her more mature and calm, and has also allowed her to find new value and direction in the field of live streaming.
Wang Chuanjun
Some people say that Wang Chuanjun has changed. Indeed, from the familiar "Magic of Guan Gu" to the "Fraud Leader" in the movie "Desperate", every time he appears is eye-catching. But you know what? All this is a "big move" carefully planned by him.
Last summer, a scene of worshiping gods went viral on a short video platform. The man in the camera has a pious look on his face, and his eyes reveal firmness and determination. This is Wang Chuanjun's image in the movie "All or Nothing". For a while, netizens left messages one after another: "It is recommended that Wang Chuanjun be investigated strictly! He doesn't look like an actor!" Yes, his acting skills are so real that it is unbelievable.
All this is the result of his efforts to get rid of the "Magical Guan Gu" label. The role that made him famous overnight also became a shackle for his acting career. He no longer wants to be framed in that fixed image. He wants to break through himself and challenge more different types of roles.
So, when he was preparing to shoot "Love Apartment 5", he resolutely refused the invitation. He knew that this would be a difficult choice, but he also knew that this was the only way for him to move towards a broader world. During that time, he was silent for a long time, as if he was accumulating strength and waiting for the next explosion.
When he appeared in front of the camera again, people were surprised to find that he had completely faded away from the "magical Guan Gu" shadow. He has successfully created different types of characters one after another: leukemia patients, scientists, fraudsters... Each role allows people to see a different side of him, and also allows people to see the diversity and plasticity of his acting skills.
Wang Chuanjun proved with his strength that he is not the only one who can play "The Miracle of Guan Gu". He is an actor with unlimited possibilities, an actor who dares to challenge himself and constantly breaks through himself.
Deng Jiajia
In the glamorous entertainment circle, Deng Jiajia is like a breath of fresh air. Faced with those self-evident "hints" and "hidden rules," she always said the word firmly: "Get out." This kind of persistence in the bottom line makes people have to admire her courage and determination.
Her success did not happen overnight. From the TV series "Undocumented Crime" to "Famous", Deng Jiajia has proven her acting skills with her strength. The honor of winning the Huading Award for Best Actress is the best recognition of her years of hard work. But behind all of this is her infinite love and persistent pursuit of her acting career.
During the days when she was not filming, Deng Jiajia did not choose to rest and enjoy. Instead, she chose to devote herself to drama rehearsals and hone her acting skills through stage performances again and again. This kind of dedication and focus on the acting career makes people moved.
It is precisely because of this persistence and hard work that Deng Jiajia finally "transformed into a butterfly" and gradually transformed from a small role into a high-profile actress. Her success story is not only the history of one person's struggle, but also an example and strength for countless dream chasers.
Today, Deng Jiajia’s popularity and popularity have reached new heights. But we believe this is just the beginning. In the days to come, she will definitely go further and more steadily on her acting career.
Sun Yizhou
When it comes to Sun Yizhou, is the first thing that comes to your mind the romantic and suave Lu Ziqiao who flirts with countless girls in "Love Apartment"? But you know, Sun Yizhou and Lu Ziqiao outside the drama are simply worlds apart. He is not only a dedicated and good man, but also an excellent actor who knows how to be grateful and steady.
When "Love Apartment" became popular all over the country, Sun Yizhou also became a popular niche. However, just when everyone thought he would take this opportunity to flex his muscles in the entertainment industry, he made an unexpected decision - to propose to his outsider girlfriend Cao Xiaowen.
This move puzzled many people, and some even questioned that he was destroying his future.But Sun Yizhou said firmly: "My success is inseparable from her support all the way. Getting married is a matter of course."
Sun Yizhou's sobriety and determination are admirable. He clearly knows what he wants and understands that success lies in countless efforts and persistence.
Although his stardom seemed a bit dull compared to other actors of the same period, he never gave up on his dream. Step by step, he stepped out of Lu Ziqiao's shadow and proved himself with his strength and acting skills.
Today's Sun Yizhou, although he has not become a top player in the entertainment industry, his acting career is getting wider and wider. Whether it is a costume drama or a modern drama, whether it is a protagonist or a supporting role, he can handle it with ease. At the same time, he also has a happy family and is as loving as ever with his wife.
Li Jinming
When the short video trend swept across, many celebrities also jumped into the sea to test the waters. Among them, Li Jinming, who became famous for his role as "Chen Meijia", also put aside his celebrity status and became a frequent guest in the live broadcast room. Facing the camera, she talks and laughs happily, and is generous and decent when selling products, as if she has returned to the screen era that made her a smash hit.
But looking back at Li Jinming's acting career, it was not all smooth sailing. Although the role of "Chen Meijia" brought her popularity and opportunities, it also firmly nailed her image as a "funny girl". For characters after
, no matter how hard she tries, it seems difficult to escape from the shackles of this shadow. This also discouraged some directors from casting her, causing her to once fall into the embarrassing situation of "nothing to film".
However, life is always full of twists and turns. Just when Li Jinming felt that the future was bleak, the rise of short videos and live broadcasts opened a new door for her.
She quickly seized this opportunity and broke into a new world in the live broadcast room with her affinity and eloquence. The soaring sales have also allowed her to regain her former style in the entertainment industry.
But as your reputation grows, so does your right and wrong. In recent years, Li Jinming's live broadcast room has been frequently exposed to "fake" problems, and his reputation has plummeted. This made many fans who once liked her feel disappointed and regretful, and they all lamented: "Meijia really can't come back!"
Jin Shijia
When the trend of "Love Apartment" swept the country, Jin Shijia chose to go against the trend and get rid of "Lu Zhanbo" of shackles. Who says small roles can't shine? The show that was once regarded as "Hu Yifei's younger brother" firmly took the starring position in the third season, bringing endless surprises to the audience.
However, when the opportunity to gain fame and fortune was presented to him, Jin Shijia made a decision that shocked everyone - he refused all invitations, including the filming of the later seasons of "Love Apartment", and resolutely Go abroad to further study acting skills. For a time, fans of the drama accused him of being ungrateful and even predicted that his future acting career would be bleak.
But Jin Shijia's heart remains as firm as ever. He knows that only by constantly honing his acting skills can he gain a foothold in this highly competitive industry.
From "A Spoon" to "Twenty Not Confused" and then to "The Illustrated Book of Crime Hunting", Jin Shijia has proved his strength with each work. He is no longer the Lu Zhanbo who only plays otaku, but a true actor.
Now, when we look back on Jin Shijia's acting career, we have to praise his courage and wisdom. It is precisely because of his "brave retreat" that he achieved what he has achieved today.
Just imagine, if he had chosen to follow the trend, maybe he would lose himself on the road of live streaming like others.
Conclusion
Mentioning "Love Apartment", who doesn't miss those days of laughter and laughter? But time flies, and their life trajectories in the play are completely different. Jin Shijia and Wang Chuanjun are like butterflies that have broken free from the shackles of their characters and spread their wings to fly high. And what about everyone else? It seems like they are still treading water, living off their past glories.
