All four actors are nationally certified first-class entertainers who have earned fame across the country for their outstanding work. They were all high-profile figures back then, but they didn't expect to face the dilemma of having no drama to take on now.
Some of them have been discredited, some have been subjected to the ** of the capital union, and some have never married, just to let their father cut off their children and grandchildren.
How did they spend their lives in such a situation?
In 2005, He Bing ushered in the peak of his career with "Da Song Ti Criminal Officer", which won the annual ratings championship as soon as it was broadcast, winning him the "Feitian Award", and his popularity and drama contract have also increased significantly.
He Bing later chose to return to the drama stage, and won the "Plum Blossom Award", the highest honor in the drama industry, twice in "Rainy and Sunny". Despite his huge success on screen and stage, he destroyed his decades-old reputation with an unexpected speech.
In 2020, He Bing recorded a speech called "Hou Lang"**, which seems to express the spiritual outlook of the younger generation. However, he was actually talking about young people who lived in abundance, indulging in pleasure and lacking in enterprising spirit, which immediately caused a great repercussion.
He Bing ignores the young people who have become "delivery boys" and the young workers who can only go home once a year. He became the object of public criticism, and many suspected him of going to great lengths to make money.
He Bing's acting career has undoubtedly been hit hard, and the image of an actor accumulated over the years suddenly collapsed.
He Bing felt deeply guilty about this, and he realized that this kind of behavior completely deviated from the social responsibility that actors should bear, and it was not appropriate to participate in misleading the younger generation.
This incident made him rethink that in the profit-oriented entertainment industry, it is not easy for an actor to maintain independence and integrity.
He Bing made up his mind to start anew and take practical actions to repair the negative impact. He began to choose meaningful works to perform, rather than simply pursuing commercial gain.
In addition, he also plans to set up low-cost acting training classes to teach real acting skills to the general public, rather than impetuous traffic orientation.
Li Youbin, in the minds of the older generation of audiences, is Li Yunlong in the TV series "Bright Sword", and is also regarded by many as a positive hero. However, behind the camera, his life is full of failures and regrets.
In "Bright Sword", Li Youbin successfully played the iconic role of Li Yunlong, the hero of the People's Liberation Army, and became an instant hit. Li Yunlong's image is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the audience will always subconsciously associate Li Yunlong with Li Yunlong when they see Li Youbin playing other roles.
However, this also adds constraints to Li Youbin. In order to transcend this stereotype, he had to constantly improve his acting skills, experimenting with different roles and different acting styles.
However, his efforts seem to have paid off. Although in "Crossing Guangdong", he created another completely different heroic image Zhu Kaishan, but he has not released a representative work since.
Li Youbin was gradually marginalized after the arrival of the traffic era because he didn't know anything about marketing. Even when filming "Chinese Guards", the former bright sword team did not invite him to participate.
Not only did he suffer setbacks in his career, but his marriage was also very unhappy. After 20 years of being in love with his wife Zhang Ruiqi, Li Youbin "abandoned his wife and children" because of his success and married screenwriter Shi Lanya.
He was not generous to his ex-wife, and he didn't care much about his son Li Xiaoke, but put all his attention on Shi Lanya's stepson.
Li Youbin began to avoid his own son, but he doted on his stepson. He seems to have shifted his father's love elsewhere as his marriage changed.
It wasn't until he was old enough that he realized the importance of rebuilding the father-son relationship, but it was too late. The 38-year-old Li Xiaoke chose not to marry to rebel against Li Youbin.
Li Youbin only remembered his own son at this time, hoping to leave a glimmer of hope. He is well aware that the failure of being a father in his personal life is irreparable.
Li Youbin has been successful in his career, but he has suffered failures in his personal life. He has neither made a new breakthrough in his career nor enjoyed the happiness of his family, and these regrets will stay with him for the rest of his life.
became famous in one fell swoop for starring in many family ethics dramas, and Yan Xuejing is known as the pioneer of "Yan's style". She has successfully created representative roles in many works such as "Mother's Wish", "Mother's Choice", and "Revisiting for Mother", so she became famous.
However, the problem she faced at her peak as a talented actress was that her acting style was consistent, causing the audience to gradually feel aesthetic fatigue.
When the audience participated in "Liu Laogen 5", the audience expressed "unbearable" and hoped to change an actor. She has not been able to break through her own acting methods, and her lack of acting skills has also exposed her lack of in-depth portrayal of the role.
Zhao Benshan, as Yan Xuejing's enlightenment mentor, also questioned her acting ability.
He pointed out that Yan Xuejing lacked a deep understanding and sense of realism when playing the role, did not have enough control over the details of the lines and scenes, and did not make a breakthrough in acting, just repeating a model she was good at.
Eventually, due to disagreements over other aspects of work, conflicts arose between the two, leading to the breakdown of their mentor-apprentice relationship.
Subsequently, Yan Xuejing chose to marry an IT tycoon and quit the entertainment industry, which made people sigh even more that her acting career gradually faded out. Since then, her work has dwindled dramatically, and it is difficult to make a splash again.
Recently, Zhao Benshan also exposed her hypocrisy, accusing her public attitude of being completely inconsistent with her small actions in private, which further damaged the outside world's impression of her.
Yan Xuejing's career development can be seen as an example of the successes and failures of a classic "genius actor". She once became famous with her extraordinary talent, but because it was difficult to change her personal style, she gradually lost the love of some audiences.
From her experience, it can be seen that actors need to stand firmly and not rely only on a certain way of acting, but need to continue to learn and challenge themselves to avoid falling into complacency and open up a broader field of acting.

When he starred in "The Minister", the good times didn't last long. The producers forcibly inserted invalid plots to fill in the length of the episodes.
Li Baotian has always been dismissive of the unwritten rules of the entertainment industry, and resolutely chose to go to court. Although he won the lawsuit, he was conspired by a number of companies.
The reason for Li Baotian's second decline lies in this. In the environment at that time, it was difficult for individuals to compete with the entire circle, so Li Baotian had to quit the entertainment industry.
Since he started his acting career, he has never received any advertising endorsements, he is not moved by money, and it can be said that he is the only innocent person in the entertainment industry.
At present, many celebrity-endorsed financial products have thundered, bringing losses to the audience. In contrast, Li Baotian's persistence seems even more admirable, he has been constantly appealing, but always sticking to his beliefs.

Li Baotian has experienced ups and downs in his life, but he has developed a tenacious character in all this. He was consistent, never bowed his head, and never gave up easily.
As the saying goes, "I act, so I'm here", Li Baotian showed the professional ethics that an actor should have through practical actions, and the twists and turns he experienced did not diminish his love for acting, which is worth learning from future generations.
Li Baotian does not pursue fame and fortune, he once said: "I would rather not be known by everyone, but I must not be sloppy and sloppy in acting", this sentence profoundly reveals the true nature of actors.
Many actors often lose their artistic pursuit under the ** of money, but Li Baotian shows a different realm with his actions.
His original intention has always been the same, which is exactly what is needed in this era of glitz and utilitarianism. Li Baotian has interpreted his belief through a lifetime of practice, his spirit will live on, and his story deserves to be remembered.
Li Baotian left with his ideals, leaving behind not only his works, but also his unswerving spirit, which is the most valuable wealth he left to future generations. Li Baotian
