After a lapse of 23 years, 59-year-old Ma Jingtao played Lu Dongbin again, although his figure is still tall, but he is dark, even if he turns on the whitening filter, he has been hacked by others more than once, and even many people ridiculed him for going to the wrong set and should play Bao Qingtian.
Back then, Ma Jingtao, who was dressed in white, was outstanding, the peony fairy and He Xiangu were hot and cold, beautiful, the villain "Pangolin" was extremely vicious, and the theme song "Getaway" all left a very deep impression on people, which can be called classic childhood memories.
Now 24 years have passed, and the situation of these actors is also heaven and earth, some have passed away, some have become monks and are still vulgar, and some have not been poor.
Ma Jingtao plays two roles in it, one is the serious and old-fashioned Emperor Donghua, and the other is the personable Lu Dongbin.
Compared to the former, the latter is simply astonishing.
Dressed in white, Shengxue, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, gentle and elegant temperament, among the two stunning colors of Peony Fairy and He Xiangu, you must have good looks, love and righteousness, and a proper beautiful man.
"Journey to the East" can be regarded as a watershed in Ma Jingtao's acting career.
Before this, Ma Jingtao was a famous roaring emperor in Qiong Yao's drama, because he was a halfway monk, his understanding of performance always stayed at "emotions need to be released", so he often yelled and created a lot of ghost animal emojis.
In 1998, Ma Jingtao signed a contract with Singapore TV, and finally realized the shortcomings of acting, and began to deliberately change his acting path, and finally became the personable Lu Dongbin in "Journey to the East".
It turned out that Ma Jingtao, who didn't roar, was so elegant and handsome.
This drama made him popular in the mainland, and soon after, he participated in You Xiaogang's "Secret History Trilogy", and with the role of Dolgon, he became popular all over the country again.
Since then, Ma Jingtao has stayed in the mainland to develop, and has participated in "Fengshen Bang", "The Secret History of Xi Shi" and "The Jade King", etc., and his popularity has remained high.
However, as he got older, Ma Jingtao began to become more and more greasy, his hairline was seriously receding, and the overall situation was a lot darker. So in recent years, there has been no drama to film, and once made money by walking holes at the wedding scene.
The once beautiful man has become today's greasy uncle, although it is a natural law, it still makes people sigh.
When I was a child, I was always entangled, who is the most beautiful Peony Fairy or He Xiangu?
In fact, children can distinguish between right and wrong, adults want them all, and both of them are out-and-out beauties.
Guo Feili's forehead is full and her appearance is soft and atmospheric, so it is very appropriate to play the role of "the first beauty in heaven".
In the play, the peony fairy and Lu Dongbin have a three-life relationship, and every time they are infatuated and sadomasochistic, they can't love, which makes people shed a lot of tears.
Some people say that the peony fairy is too much, completely self-inflicted, and some people sigh that she is very affectionate and desperate every time.
In fact, looking back, Peony is a hard-working person after all, because she is destined by nature, she is just a catastrophe on the road to becoming an immortal in Lu Dongbin, and it is impossible to become a couple.
In reality, Guo Feili is very lucky.
After debuting on a talent show in 95, she was quickly reused, and with "Journey to the East", she became popular all over Southeast Asia and became one of the "Four Beauties of Singapore".
Although he is not very ambitious and has not starred in many dramas, every one of them is very exciting. For example, Yin Susu in Su Youpeng's version of "Yitian", and the second princess of the heavenly court in "Flying Immortals Outside the Sky".
After that, it was the news that she was getting married, although her foreign husband was 10 years older than her, with gray hair and two sons, Guo Feili was very satisfied and praised her husband for 99 points.
Now Guo Feili is 49 years old, and her life is very comfortable, basically she travels all over the world, and she is very well maintained, and she can't tell her age at all.
Zheng Xiuzhen is a typical bony beauty, with a thin face, but she is heroic, fresh and refined, with a fluttering fairy spirit.
Therefore, it is very appropriate for her to play the independent and resolute He Xiangu.
Holding a lotus flower, wading through the water, smiling and smiling, it is simply beautiful, and the fairy is nothing more than that.
What's even more rare is her open-mindedness and forbearance, although she is full of love for Lu Dongbin, but as a fairy, it is impossible to fall in love, and in the end it can only turn into a friendship of "love and courtesy", the two flew three high-fives, and since then only the best friendship remains.
In terms of chic and frankness, it is really unparalleled.
Zheng Xiuzhen and Guo Feili both debuted in the draft in 95, when she was still the champion, but the fate of the two was heaven and earth.
After becoming famous with "Journey to the East", Zheng Xiuzhen was quickly promoted to a first-line actress in Singapore, and she was once so popular that she turned purple, but unfortunately she mistakenly believed her boyfriend at her peak and invested all her property in **, and in the end** failed, she could only go bankrupt, and her reputation plummeted.
In 2000, Zheng Xiuzhen was forced to go bankrupt by the court because she was unable to repay the arrears of 300,000 yuan, and was also sentenced to "poor status".
Poverty is one of Singapore's major characteristics, in fact, it is to restrict the high consumption of bankrupts. It is not very hurtful, but it can be extremely insulting.
After that, Zheng Xiuzhen began to work hard to film to pay off her debts, and finally successfully got out of poverty in 2005.
During this period, Zheng Xiuzhen married advertising man Huang Chuanxin and gave birth to a son, but unfortunately due to incompatible personalities, they finally divorced in 2018.
Today, 47-year-old Zheng Xiuzhen lives alone with her son, although she is not as rich as Guo Feili, she can be regarded as a successful career, and the health store has opened 3 branches.
Lin Xiangping is also one of the "Four Beauties of Singapore", playing Zhen Niang and Long San in the play, one is gentle and kind, the other is lively and cute, they are all very amazing, especially the emotional scene with Han Feizi, which earned a lot of tears.
However, Lin Xiangping did not become popular because of this, because she debuted a little later, when she was only 21 years old, and under the pressure of the two beauties Guo Feili and Zheng Xiuzhen, her sense of existence was not strong.
It wasn't until a few years later that Lin Xiangping participated in "Baolian Lantern", and with the role of lilac, she became completely popular in the mainland. After that, Lin Xiangping struck while the iron was hot, and took over the filming of "The Prequel of Baolian Lantern", and the combination of Jiao En's handsome men and beautiful women is simply the ceiling of appearance.
It's a pity that these two dramas are the pinnacle of her career, and there are no masterpieces after that.
However, people who are frustrated in the workplace are often proud.
In 2014, Lin Xiangping married Taiwanese singer Tian Enpei, and then gave birth to two daughters.
Tian Enpei debuted very early, but he was always unliterate, and then he simply quit the circle and opened an import and export company, but he didn't expect to make a lot of money soon, and Lin Xiangping also lived a worry-free life.
Today, Lin Xiangping is 45 years old and is still filming, but the output is not much, and she takes on the film completely out of interest.
The "pangolin" played by Xie Shaoguang should be one of the childhood shadows of many people.
At the beginning, he was simple and simple, and he only wanted to become an immortal, but he was always discriminated against by others, and he hated He Xiangu because of love, and finally became the ultimate villain in the play.
Xie Shaoguang is a well-known veteran actor in Singapore, although his appearance is mediocre, his acting skills are extremely outstanding, and he has won 5 Red Star Awards.
Geniuses generally have quirks, and Xie Shaoguang is the same.
In 2005, Xie Shaoguang suddenly retired from the circle and ran to a vegetarian restaurant as a chef, and there was no news after that.
In 2013, Xie Shaoguang was officially ordained a monk and became a monk. In 2016, he announced that he would return to the vulgar and continue to be a chef, which is unpredictable.
Today, Xie Shaoguang still lives a light and breezy life, rarely showing up, hoping that he will be happy.
Ding Lan plays the role of "Guanyin Bodhisattva" in it.
Speaking of this name, many people should think of Jet Li's "Shaolin Temple".
In 1981, 16-year-old Ding Lan was caught by Zhang Xinyan at a glance and became the female number one in "Shaolin Temple".
After this movie, Ding Lan and Jet Li both became popular, Jet Li became a kung fu kid that everyone knows, and Ding Lan is everyone's dream lover.
After that, Ding Lan participated in many costume movies, such as "Shaolin Kid", "Thirteen Sisters of Chivalry" and "Dream of Red Mansions", etc., and her popularity has always been very high.
In 1989, when Ding Lan participated in "Peach Blossom Fan Blood", she met a Singaporean man, and the two soon got married out of love. After getting married, Ding Lan came to Singapore with her husband to develop and became a Singaporean citizen.
Ding Lan's development was not bad at the beginning, and he participated in many big productions, but after all, he was not familiar with the place, his resources were greatly reduced, and he soon lacked follow-up. Coupled with cultural differences, the marriage also had problems and eventually ended in divorce.
The fiasco of career and love made Ding Lan completely disheartened. In 2001, Ding Lan announced her retirement from the circle, and then returned to Beijing to do business, and never participated in film and television dramas again.
Today, 58-year-old Ding Lan is still unmarried and is said to be worth more than 100 million now.
Among the eight immortals, in addition to Lu Dongbin, the most beautiful is "Han Xiangzi" played by Chang Cheng, who is polite and gentle, and gives people a very deep impression.
Chang Cheng is actually a mainland actor, born in Yantai, Shandong, and then studied at a university in Taiwan Province, and met a noble man during his work-study period, and the other party sponsored him to participate in the talent competition in Singapore, so he entered the showbiz.
After becoming an instant hit with "Journey to the East", Chang Cheng did not stay in Singapore to develop, but returned to the mainland, and participated in dramas such as "Six-Fingered Love Demon", "Double Cannon" and "The Weaver Girl of the End of the World", but unfortunately the development was mediocre.
The most well-known should be "Lu Meng" in "New Three Kingdoms".
All in all, Chang Cheng is a very regrettable actor, his appearance and acting skills are very outstanding, but his star luck is not particularly good, and he always spins in supporting roles, which is a typical fire man.
Today, Chang Cheng is still active in the film and television industry, and has also participated in "Celebrating More Than Years" and "Sweeping the Black Storm" before, and his body has gained a lot of weight, which is unrecognizable.
Han Zhongli is a rather funny character, very cute in appearance, and his personality is also very joyful, which brings a lot of joy to people.
The actor's name is Mai Haowei, who was once one of TVB's classic green leaves.
Mai Haowei was originally an engineer, because his younger brother died unexpectedly, in order to fulfill his younger brother's dream of being an actor, he resolutely applied for the TVB artist training class and became an actor.
and ** Yun, Lan Jieying, Wu Qihua, etc., are students in the same period, but because of their poor appearance, they can only play small supporting roles, such as the newspaper guy in "The Great Era", etc., which are common characters in Hong Kong films.
In 1994, Mak Hao immigrated to Singapore and participated in many local TV series, the most famous are "Journey to the East" and Zhou Botong in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".
Mai Haowei seems to be ordinary, but he is actually very talented.
A few years later, he became a docent at the National Museum of Singapore, and even at the age of 60, he went to Beijing Normal University to study and obtained a master's degree in Chinese language and literature.
On April 14, 2022, Mai Haowei passed away peacefully at home at the age of 74.
Who is the most memorable of these actors?
