In the film industry, there are some things that always attract people's attention. For example, when Jia Ling and Chen Sicheng's box office results continue to refresh, some people are stepping down from the altar. This is reminiscent of a highly anticipated film - "The Order of the Gods". This movie, adapted from the popular game IP, originally attracted much attention, but the result was a big surprise and became the biggest loser in the Spring Festival file.
Three years have passed, and Chen Kun once again handed over a new work to the film industry, but this time the Douban score failed. Some netizens joked that the appearance of him and Zhou Xun only made the movie look more expensive, but it didn't actually play a big role. This makes people wonder if this is embarrassing or emotional. You must know that the works starring Chen Kun in the past were one of the most reluctant works in the hearts of the audience. After many well-known IPs have been adapted, the reprint of "The Family of Gold Powder" three years ago has still not been broadcast. This drama bears the name of "The Dream of a Gold Powder Family (2020)", but it has never been able to meet the audience. Some people say that it's not that the new generation of actors can't lead it, but that the opponent is too strong.
Back in March 2003, "The Family of Gold Powder" was broadcast on CCTV 8 as an evening file. This TV series attracted much attention at the time, not only passed the first instance successfully, but also squeezed out the best domestic TV series "Towards the Republic". After it aired, the show averaged an average rating of 768%, breaking the record of CCTV in two years, is known as a heart-warming romance poem. The reason why "The Family of Gold Powder" has reached insurmountable heights is that it shows the ultimate beauty. Industry insiders commented that even the two theme songs can perfectly summarize the plot: "The first half is "Dark Fragrance", and the second half is "Let Her Land". Nowadays, there are still people who sigh repeatedly, and only after reliving it can they understand the love that they couldn't see clearly when they were young. This drama is a group portrait of characters that takes place in a big family in the last century. The story begins with Jin Yanxi (played by Chen Kun), the son of the handsome and joyful Beiyang warlord Prime Minister, who was originally going to marry Bai Xiuzhu (played by Liu Yifei), a famous noblewoman, but due to political strife and Miss Bai Xiuzhu's temper, he chose to find another true love. The emotional entanglements and family grievances throughout the whole plot make people think deeply. On that moonlit and picturesque night, the female student Leng Qingqiu (Dong Jie) held rice paper in her hand, and when the wind blew, the paper flew like a white butterfly. Her innocence and ignorance, like a clear stream, instantly touched the hearts of every young boy and girl passing by, including the young master of the official family.
He, Jin Yanxi (played by Chen Kun), a young master born in a wealthy family, met Leng Qingqiu for the first time, as if he saw the pure land in his heart. Since then, he has fallen into endless thoughts about her, and in order to pursue her, he is willing to let go of everything, even his own identity. He moved for her, became a teacher, and opened a poetry club, just to be a little closer to her. Their encounter seems to be an arrangement in fate, and their love, like "Dark Fragrance", is beautiful and dreamy. When they say "I love you," that promise seems eternal, but the reality is heartbreaking. There is a huge difference between them, which makes their love seem so fragile in the face of trials. Jin Yanxi's cunning habits and Leng Qingqiu's simple ignorance caused them to fall into endless suspicion and quarrels. Their love, like a kite blown by the wind, seems to be free, but they are always afraid of breaking the line.
After getting married, they seemed to be trapped in an invisible siege. Their story seems to have become a question in the hearts of many audiences: why did they become so vulnerable when they once loved each other so much? However, the drama "The Family of Gold Powder" is still remembered by people because of the wonderful performances of the actors. The characters they create seem to be real, and they leave the best side for the audience. For Dong Jie, the role of "Leng Qingqiu" seems to be tailor-made for her. She has won numerous honors for this play, and this role has become one of the most representative roles in her acting career. Whenever people mention "Leng Qingqiu", they will think of the innocent, ignorant, and kind girl, as well as her joys and sorrows with Jin Yanxi in the play.
"The Family of Gold Powder" is not only a TV series, but also the youth memory of a generation. Its storyline, characters, and performances of the actors are deeply imprinted in people's hearts. Even if time passes, people still remember the rice paper in the moonlight, the white butterflies flying in the sky, and the innocent and kind girl Leng Qingqiu. Cuicui's stubbornness and cold autumn elegance are intertwined in the same soul. She is not a simple heroine, but a touch of elegant color in the history of film and television, which has become a kind of metaphysics. People often have a prejudice that the role of Qingqiu, which is as beautiful as a lily, can only be performed by Dong Jie to the fullest. But in reality, she lives in our imagination, like a fairy untouchable to mortals, pure and elegant.
Even though Dong Jie in reality has experienced a marriage break with Pan Yueming and a series of scandals, people still firmly believe that "Leng Qingqiu" is her gold medal for avoiding death. Even if it is difficult for her to appear in film and television dramas as a starring role, her position is still irreplaceable. In the entertainment industry, a place where there are frequent updates, although there are endless actresses with good looks, Dong Jie's treatment is still enviable. In 2019, she participated in the CCTV drama "Macau Family", even the filter can't hide her sense of age, but the role she plays still exudes girlish innocence. This year, she even appeared on the traffic variety show "Sister Riding the Wind and Waves 2", although the response was not great, but the evaluation of "she has a lot of moths, but she still likes her" has always accompanied her. This reminds people that in this industry, persona seems to be more important than appearance. Although that undignified marriage brought a great negative impact to Dong Jie, she still became the focus of public attention. Her comeback operation has regained people's attention, and will Chen Kun, the originator of fresh meat, collapse because of the failure at the box office?
The success of the movie has never depended on the performances of individual actors, and Chen Kun's failure this time also confirmed this. As an actor, he has never disappointed, and his performances have always been amazing. He is not only the top Yan Ba in the circle, but also a charismatic performer. His characters are always full of beauty and sorrow, which makes people moved. Over the years, Chen Kun's career can be summed up in one sentence. He's always on the road, never stopping. As an actor who pursues the ultimate, he always has some elusive spiritual temperament. For unknown reasons, since 2010, Chen Kun and a group of friends have jointly launched the "Power of Walking" public welfare activity. Although he occasionally handed over some works to the entertainment industry, he always seemed to deliberately maintain a low-key state, as if he wanted to disappear from the crowd.
During this period, Chen Kun's acting career also won many honors and awards, which just shows that he began to pursue inner peace and indifferent to fame and fortune. He is known as a naturally beautiful actor who is favored by God, and he reached his peak soon after his debut. However, in his melancholy eyes, there is something hidden in the heart. Those who know Chen Kun's past know that this seemingly eternally young male star once fell into inferiority complex and sadness because of the pain of his original family. was admitted to the Beijing Film Academy, which was the first time fate favored Chen Kun. But even though he was later hailed as the most moving face of the 21st century, his role in "Like Fog, Like Rain and Like Wind" was questioned by the director: "You can't play such a young master role." ”
The success of "The Family of Gold Powder" undoubtedly brought glory and pride to Chen Kun. He proved himself with his own strength and won the reputation of "Mo Shangren is like jade, and the son is unparalleled in the world". However, compared with his career and fame, "Jin Yanxi" outside the play has achieved some important things for him. He bought several houses to allow his family to live comfortably, making up for the trauma of his childhood with material things. Chen Kun, who is sensitive by nature, may be the most thoughtful person in the whole crew. He has been struggling with how to balance his family and his dream of being an actor, and he has been puzzled about how to use the aura in front of him to provide protection for his family. Gradually, life lost its balance. In his opinion, acting as a means of earning a living is a shame and even a desecration of art.
Fortunately, Chen Kun finally found his original intention of acting in the unpopular drama "Old Dream". Although his road has always been uneven, although he suddenly has a son in his life, and although he has many more labels, Chen Kun has always been the only one in the group of "gold fans" who has returned to his identity as an actor. In 2018, I looked back at "The Family of Gold Powder" again, and I couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion. Chen Kun used his persistence and hard work to interpret the true meaning of an actor: never forget the original intention, you have to always. What is touching is that most of the actresses in the play have failed to reap the emotional fulfillment. When the young Liu Yifei joined this ** work, she had not yet been crowned with the title of "fairy sister". Over time, Liu Yifei's fame gradually increased, and she became popular in classic dramas such as "Dragon Babu", "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and "The Legend of Sword and Sword". However, she has never been able to get rid of the title of "Queen of Bad Movies", and her acting skills have never seemed to break through. Despite her stellar performance in the Disney princess movie Mulan, people still seem to think she's just a vase.
In terms of private life, Liu Yifei once dated South Korean actor Song Seung-hun because of the drama, but the relationship between the two did not last long before they broke up. All this seems to be just a dream, and we can only continue to be moved by the beauty of the fairy sister. And "Eighth Sister" Shu Chang is in a state of being a celebrity all the year round, and she has been exposed to low emotional intelligence in variety shows. , an actress who was originally a promising child star, has gradually disappeared from the public's memory in recent years because of her "stiff face". Looking at her plastic-like face, it is really difficult to associate with the incomparably smart eighth sister in her memory. Among several important female characters, the happiest is probably Xu Lu, the actor of "Little Pity". The audience may not be able to call her name, but they will never forget the little maid she played in the play who was infatuated with Young Master Chunjiang. She later married a screenwriter, and now she has completely retired from the circle and lives a life of husband and children with peace of mind. There is almost no mark left on her body by the years in the recent photos, and I believe that Xu Lu is also very satisfied with her current life. It is a pity that the "third aunt" Pan Xingyi died at the age of 29 due to an accident that failed to be rescued. Most of the young ladies and young grandmothers in the play are no longer in love with the entertainment industry, but live an ordinary life.

In terms of male actors, only the "master" Kou Zhenhai and the "sixth sister's boyfriend" Qiao Zhenyu are more active. Interestingly, these two were once enduring costume gods on the screen, and they still maintain a certain amount of influence. They proved that "different people can be together", just like lilies can bloom on my vines. Life is like a play, and it may be a bit old-fashioned, but we might as well look for our own stories and revelations in it. On the stage of fate, the trajectory of these actors is like the ending of the script, quietly filled with an indescribable sadness. Every turn and movement they make is like a silent tragedy. Coincidentally, there is no book, and recently there has been a craze for remakes of "The Family of Gold Powder" on the Internet. The tide of the new era is surging, but one thing has already settled. That is the 2003 version of the "Love Complex", which is destined to take root in people's memories and become a classic in the hearts of generations of audiences, making people reminisce repeatedly in the long river of time.
