In Gu Long's pen, Xiao Shiyi Lang is an unforgettable character. His entanglement with Shen Bijun makes people feel the helplessness and complexity of life. In 2002, this classic ** was adapted into a TV series, which aroused widespread attention and heated discussions. Wu Qilong brilliantly interpreted the role of Xiao Shiyi Lang and became a hero in the hearts of many audiences.
Time flies, and now 21 years have passed. We can't help but sigh that things are not people, but Wu Qilong's demeanor is still the same as it was back then. Although the number of his works has decreased in recent years, we can often see him in variety shows. The happy life between him and Liu Shishi is also enviable, his appearance is still the same, and he is still young when he is over half a hundred years old.
In addition to Wu Qilong, the other actors in the play also left a deep impression on us. The role of Lianchengbi is played by the handsome Yu Bo. He not only has a graceful demeanor, but also has a prominent family background. However, the darkness and struggle in his heart make people lament the impermanence of life. His love and dedication to Shen Bijun are moving, but the wrong way makes his beloved far away from him. Even though he is the villain, his charisma has the audience fall in love with him.
Yu Bo's life is also full of legends. At the age of 20, he was selected to work at the Diaoyu Island State Guesthouse as a guard on the ** floor. However, three years later, he chose to quit his job and apply for the Beijing Film Academy. There, he became classmates with Yao Chen, Du Chun and others. Despite being the oldest of his classmates, he quickly rose to prominence with his talent and hard work.
In his acting career, Yu Bo's achievements are also good. He not only starred in "Xiao Shiyi Lang", but also successively filmed many costume dramas. Dramas such as "Water Moon Cave Sky" and "The Legend of the Spirit Mirror" let the audience know this powerful and kind actor. And when he created the highlight role of Tong Bo, he won the hearts of countless audiences. Since then, his film appointments have continued, and excellent works have been released frequently, such as "Phantom Divine Needle", "Ask the Wine to the Sky", "Eight Formations of Gods and Ghosts" and other works let people see his talent and hard work.
Yu Bo's story is not only the growth process of an actor, but also the struggle history of a person with dreams and pursuits. His experience tells us that as long as we have dreams, courage and perseverance, we can shine on the stage of life. Although Yu Bo gradually reduced his role after his debut, became a supporting role for the newcomer, and was even forgotten by the audience, he never stayed away from the film and television industry. In 2023, he will participate in 9 TV series, among which many online dramas such as "Lotus Tower", "Long Moon Embers" and "Lovesick Order" have been broadcast.
Shen Bijun is the heroine in "Xiao Shiyi Lang", played by Zhu Yin. She is the descendant of the hero Shen Lang, known as the "No. 1 Beauty in Martial Arts", not only with outstanding appearance, but also with a simple mind. Under the protection of her mother, she never went out of the house until she met Xiao Shiyi Lang at the age of 18. Zhu Yin is widely loved by the audience for her role in "Zixia Fairy" in "Journey to the West".
The relationship between her and Stephen Chow in life has also attracted much attention. Although the two have collaborated on many films, they did not end up together. Now, Zhu Yin has found her happiness, married Huang Guanzhong, and has a daughter. After her daughter grew up, she chose to make a comeback and won several awards for the movie "Second First Love". Now, she actively participates in variety shows and shares her life with her friends Cai Shaofen, Hong Xin, and Chen Farong.
Snow Eagle is the villain in the play, played by Zhang Jin. He was insidious and cunning, and did many bad things, but in the end he died under the deer cutting knife. Zhang Jin has been practicing martial arts since he was a child and has won the national championship of Taijiquan and Taijijian. After retiring, he began to work in martial arts, and served as a stand-in in many film and television dramas. Later, he gained recognition from the audience for his excellent martial arts skills and acting skills.
Michelle Yeoh, who has worked silently behind the scenes as a stand-in, has been deeply involved in the martial arts world for nearly 10 years. It wasn't until 2000 that she really came to the front of the stage with the role of Zhang Jin in "The History of Martial Arts", allowing the audience to see her talent and charm. In 2014, she played Ma San in the movie "The Grandmaster" and won the Best Supporting Actor Award at the 33rd Academy Awards for her outstanding performance. The following year, she once again won the Best Supporting Actor Award at the 35th Academy Awards and the 20th Huading Awards for the action movie "Kill the Wolf 2", successfully getting rid of the label of "Cai Shaofen's husband" in the hearts of the audience.
Feng Siniang, a woman who is happy and vengeful, she rides the fastest horse, drinks the strongest wine, eats the spiciest dishes, and indulges in the rivers and lakes, but she ties her heart to Xiao Shiyilang. Feng Siniang in the play is played by Ma Yashu, and she has a deep relationship with Xiao Shiyi Lang played by Wu Qilong. The relationship between the two outside the play also started because of this, and they registered their marriage in 2006 and were known as a pair of golden boys and girls. However, the happy days did not last long. Three years after marriage, Ma Yashu was photographed dating an Australian boyfriend intimately, and Wu Qilong's scandals continued to spread. The marriage relationship between the two took a sharp turn for the worse, and finally in August 2009, they went through the divorce procedures.
In June 2010, Ma Yashu remarried her foreign boyfriend Robert, and had a daughter after marriage, and she has a happy life so far. Since she got married, the output of film and television works has decreased sharply, and now there are fewer film shots in which she participates. Her most recent appearance was in the 2022 hit drama "Splendid Stars" as Wang Ji's mother Wen Yujun.
Another character, Lian Cheng Jin, is played by Liu Sitong. She is Lian Chengbi's younger sister, with a straightforward and simple personality, but her fate is full of tragedy. Liu Sitong was born in ** Drama Academy, and served as a special guest actor in CCTV's "Big Windmill" column during his schooling. After graduation, she entered the film and television industry, and "Xiao Shiyi Lang" became her masterpiece. With the popularity of "Xiao Shiyi Lang", Liu Sitong's acting career is also thriving. She has successively starred in works such as "Heaven and Dragon Slayer", "Li Wei's Resignation", "Emperor Jiaqing", "The Legend of the New White-Haired Witch" and so on.
In particular, Wu Qingying played in "Heaven and Dragon Slayer" and Iron Coral played in "The Legend of the New White-haired Witch" left a deep impression on the audience. The white posture in costume dramas is changeable, both good and evil, and can interpret almost any character character. In March 2022, Liu Sitong posted a video on social **, revealing that she would attend the party of some actors in "Xiao Shiyi Lang". After more than 20 years, Liu Sitong in the lens has changed a lot.
Subsequently, Liu Sitong shared a group photo of the party, in which the appearance of the little boy Li Qian has not changed much compared with the past, while the other two actors are almost unrecognizable. Li Qian plays the role of the little boy in the play, is the apprentice of Xiaoyaohou, is good at secret weapons, plays a ruthless role, and leaves a deep impression on the audience. Despite not making many appearances, her performance was impressive.
Li Qian was praised as "Little Zhou Xun" for her unique temperament and acting skills, and played the role of a little maid in film and television dramas, and was known as a "professional maid". A mole on the corner of her mouth made her instantly recognizable. Since her debut, Li Qian has participated in many hit film and television works, such as "The History of Martial Arts", "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty", "The Granary of the World", "The Age We Live In", "Rouge Snow", "The Weaver Girl of the World", "Dragon Gate Dart Game", "1942", "Xiucai Meets Soldiers" and so on. Although her work has attracted much attention, she has never been able to become popular.
There is a voice that says that the reason why Li Qian is not red is because the mole at the corner of her mouth blocks her star luck and reduces her appearance. Some people even think that only by removing that mole will her acting path become wider. Around 2018, when Li Qian appeared in front of the camera again, the audience found that her mole had really disappeared, and this change was once on the hot search. However, after the mole was removed, she did not become as popular as expected.
Now, without the mole, Li Qian looks more mature, and her acting path has become wider. She is still active in the film and television industry, but her private life is very low-key, and there is no news of marriage yet. Another actor, Zhang Zhichao, plays the role of Little Loach in the play, this role is a cook, a servant, and an emotional mentor to Feng Siniang in the play. Zhang Zhichao has also changed a lot, and it is almost unrecognizable compared to 21 years ago. He entered the film industry in the late 90s by shooting commercials.
An actor's highlight moment is often short-lived, and Zhang Zhichao is no exception. He played the role of Nezha in the hit drama "Baolian Lantern", which left a deep impression on the audience. However, since 2009, he has gradually retired from the circle and disappeared from the screen. According to Liu Sitong, Zhang Zhichao has changed careers and started business.
Time flies, and the actors of the year are now middle-aged. Although the years have left traces on their faces, those classic screen images still remain in the hearts of the audience. The characters they portrayed became irreplaceable classics, and they themselves continued to move forward in their respective lives. After many years of ups and downs in the entertainment industry, Zhang Zhichao chose to quit the front desk and became an agent instead, planning acting careers for many stars. He was once the villain who became popular for starring in "The Loose Queen", played by actor Yu Zhen. Yu Zhen was born in the ** Drama Academy, has rich acting experience, and has played the leading role in many anti-Japanese film and television dramas, and is known as a "professional household of divine drama".
However, Yu Zhen's private life has also caused an uproar. His first marriage was a short and tumultuous one, when he met Fong Pak Ni during the filming of "The Line of Fire" and got married only three months later. However, life after marriage did not go as they wanted, and frequent quarrels made their relationship increasingly estranged. When Fang Baini was pregnant, due to an accidental fall, the child could not be saved, which also accelerated the breakdown of their relationship. Fang Baini even publicly accused Yu Zhen of "domestic violence" on social **, which once caused a stir, making Yu Zhen fall into the whirlpool.
In 2010, they ended their short marriage, and the label of "domestic violence man" has always been with Yu Zhen. His career was affected by this. However, Yu Zhen was not depressed. In his second marriage, he started a family with actress Xin Yue, who was 13 years younger than him. He fell in love with Xin Yue at first sight, and after a crazy pursuit, the two finally entered the marriage hall in 2012. Today, they have two sons and a daughter, and they live happily ever after.
Now 48-year-old Yu Zhen is still active in the entertainment industry. At the beginning of 2023, he played the leading role in the drama "Under the Red Flag", which was performed at the Capital Theater in Beijing. On Chinese New Year's Eve, he even appeared on the stage of the CCTV Spring Festival Gala and performed the sketch "First Sight Photo Studio" with many stars. In addition, he has also collaborated with many well-known actors such as Shao Feng. Shao Feng is a national first-class actor and an excellent cross talk actor, and he has performed well in many film and television works.
Whether it is a sketch or a film and television drama, he has won the love and respect of the audience with his talent and hard work. Shao Feng has a wide range of film and television works, and his representative works include "Don't Take Bean Bags and Improper Dry Food", "Sister Superman", "Yang Guang's Love Story", "Young King", "Wulin Gaiden", "Kintaro's Happy Life" and "No. 3 Traffic Station" and so on. In the past two years, his outstanding performances in the hit dramas "An Home" and "Forensic Qin Ming" have once again proved his acting strength. He has been working hard to film, even if he is not popular, he is also an actor who is loved by the audience.
Playing the second pot head in the play is actor Wang Gang, who successfully portrayed this role, especially being able to pull out a deer cutting knife and not hesitate to expose his identity in order to save his son. Many viewers first knew him as the role of Wang Hu in "The Wrong Sedan to Marry the Right Lang", although there are not many scenes, but it is eye-catching enough.
Wang Gang has performed well in many film and television works, although mentioning his name may feel unfamiliar, but seeing the role he plays will definitely dawn on him. His roles in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" as Wang Chuyi, Song Yuanqiao in "Heaven and Dragon Slayer", Shangguan Bo in "Riding Horses and Howling West Wind", and Zhao Danping in "Sword in the Snow" are all impressive.
So far, Wang Gang has starred in more than 100 film and television works, and he has presented countless classic roles to the audience as a green leaf with red flowers. Time flies, more than 20 years have passed, the actors in the play have undergone a lot of changes, and the audience is growing. Although we have forgotten all the plot of renting a disc to watch this drama when we were children, when the familiar song "Turn" sounds, we will still unconsciously hum: "The sky is blue, the road is long, and people are wandering in the sea of people;The wind is flying, the heart is looking forward to it, and love is on the shore in love;Singing ...... night after night”
