When Gao Ye and Zhang Xiaofei first entered the showbiz, they were full of longing and expectation for a better future. They look forward to standing out in the entertainment industry and becoming a household name. That bright prospect makes their blood run high, and they are always full of strength on the arduous road of acting. 
However, when they really came into contact with the reality of the entertainment industry, they found that it was full of undercurrents and turbulence. Without the backing of strength and connections, young actors like them can only struggle to survive in the trough. Gao Ye needs to endure a lot of trampling and injury, and it is not uncommon to be stunned and frostbitten in shooting action scenes;Zhang Xiaofei was also ridiculed, and even nearly desperate for a time. Later, after some of the works became popular and gained attention, they finally tasted the sweetness of success. I thought I could stand out and stand at the pinnacle of life. Unexpectedly, the repressive side of human nature in the entertainment industry is still everywhere. Today, those who are busy pleasing will be ignored and forgotten in the blink of an eye;The stars who were high up at the beginning will also flatter and seek favor because of the change of power. 
Later, when the heat cooled down and the aura dimmed, they both fell into the trough and lost the attention of their talents. The success of the past is like a mirage, and after a fleeting moment, they still return to the small transparent plane and are buried again. The pain of disappointment and despair swept over them again. Gao Ye and Zhang Xiaofei each have a masterpiece——— the former is "Hurricane", and the latter is "Hello, Li Huanying". The two dramas have their own characteristics, and the plot settings are in line with the current social mood, so they have resonated with the general public. "Hurricane" attracts the audience's attention with its hot and compact plot, and the portrayal of the "sister-in-law", a strong woman, in the play is just right in line with the self-consciousness of modern women;and "Hello, Li Huanying" eulogizes the inner beauty of simplicity and kindness through the romantic love between a rural female teacher and the rich second-generation culture in the city. 
The two dramas quickly set off a **craze on major social networks and became popular. Gao Ye, one of the heroines, and Zhang Xiaofei, who played the role of the lead, also became famous in one fell swoop because of their popularity. They made headlines in entertainment and attracted the attention of the public;Red carpet dresses are expensive, and celebrities are flattering. The joy of "becoming popular overnight" has been rippling in their hearts for a long time, and the joy of success is intoxicating. But this "pouring of thousands of miles" is only a flash in the pan after all. After the heat cooled down, it was quickly replaced by new female stars, and there was no longer the aura of the past. Gao Ye and Zhang Xiaofei both fell into the abyss again, losing the brilliance of their talents. It turns out that "red does not stay overnight", and between the ups and downs, their success can only be fleeting. 
Gao Ye and Zhang Xiaofei's choice after becoming popular directly affected whether they can continue to become popular. However, due to various factors, the box office and attention of their follow-up works have declined, and they have lost their halo again. The first thing is that the two made mistakes in the script and role selection. Gao Ye's follow-up new dramas, whether it is with Li Landi's "All the Way to the Sun" or "Orange Light" with Liu Yijun, her role positioning is only a supporting role, and it is difficult to attract too many eyeballs;Zhang Xiaofei's new film "Exchanging Lives" hit the streets directly during the Spring Festival, with a score of less than 6, which undoubtedly disappointed many audiences. Secondly, the feedback from fans and viewers also directly led to the decline of their second wave of popularity. Gao Ye participated in the two variety shows "Youth Travel" and "Summer of the Band", both of which had poor word-of-mouth and ratings;Zhang Xiaofei's new movies have also failed one after another, obviously the public's expectations have been disappointed, and the decline in popularity is an inevitable result. At the same time, the already competitive entertainment industry is also rapidly rising new stars. Many powerful actresses are ready to rush to the top position at every opportunity. 
In contrast, Gao Ye and Zhang Xiaofei no longer have the original light. Whether it is acting skills or popularity, they have been overtaken by newcomers and gradually drifted away. All kinds of factors are superimposed, and they fall into a trough again. The popularity that once soared has finally returned to the starting point. The position of the little transparent seems to be their destined destination. When the joy of success came to an end and the frustration came again, Gao Ye and Zhang Xiaofei were undoubtedly in a painful battle between despair and hope. Looking back on the ups and downs of their acting careers over the years, they undoubtedly have deep feelings for this career. He has never given up his yearning for success, and his enthusiasm for performance has never faded. 
Leaving the entertainment industry and giving up everything to be a new person is really unbearable for them. And at this moment, the opportunities and hopes of the entertainment industry are not out of reach. The competition never ends, but as long as the strength is there, the luck is good, and the confidence is enough, who says they can't be at the top again?New dramas and new films are still on the way, and it all depends on whether this time we can seize the opportunity and control the proportions. I believe that in this long journey, Gao Ye and Zhang Xiaofei still uphold their love and dedication to performance. Even if they usher in a low point again, they will never give up their dreams and never lose their fighting spirit. Just like the ups and downs of life, success and failure are always just a thought.
