In the vast starry sky of the entertainment industry, there are always a few meteors that cut through the night sky and leave a deep imprint. Meteor Garden is such an unforgettable idol play. It has not only set off a viewing frenzy in Taiwan, but also aroused widespread concern and discussion in Asia. The influence of the show is evident from the fact that it was cut off by radio and television just a month after it was released in China.
"Meteor Garden" not only let the audience remember the "F4" combination of Daoming Temple and others, but also led the new trend of the development of idol drama. Many years later, when we look back, it is not difficult to see the important position of this play in the history of idol drama. It is like a bright meteor, which cuts through the night sky of the entertainment circle and provides endless inspiration and reference for the later idol drama creation.
In the light of this play, another idol play, "Red Apple Paradise", also came into being. The play was released in 2003, although it is jokingly called the "Meteor Garden" of the "rural version", but it also tries to open up a world of its own in the field of idol drama. However, compared with Meteor Garden, the play does not have a good reputation, but it still has its own unique charm and influence.
Now, nearly 20 years have passed since the broadcast of "Red Apple Paradise", and the stars of the show have all embarked on different paths of life. Some of them are still working hard in the entertainment industry, and some have faded out of the public eye. But in any case, they were once a beautiful scenery in that play, and they all left a deep imprint in the memory of our youth.
So, how are the leading actors doing now? Are their lives and careers still as energetic and passionate as they were then?
Xinko
Do you remember Kyoko, who is the same on the screen? At that time, she was as famous as Big S, and as soon as she made her debut, she became popular in half the sky with some hot TV series. She is not the kind of stunning beauty, and her acting skills are not outstanding, but it is her share of the common and real girl next door that resonates with countless audiences.
In the play, the heroine she plays seems to have a magic power that attracts all the boys 'eyes. Rumor has it that she came from a wealthy family and acted only because she loved the profession. However, the harsh reality of the entertainment industry soon became apparent. Although she also made a lot of films, she never surpassed her fame.
In "living Buddha Ji Gong", she plays a lovely rabbit spirit, which makes people's eyes bright. But as she grew older, she began to try more different types of roles, and in family ethics dramas, her style gradually matured, a little less green and more calm.
But in this face-watching show business, her appearance and acting skills are not enough to give her a firm foothold. Slowly, her works became less and less, and gradually became a third-tier actress. Occasionally participate in variety shows, or show a face in a live show, people can not help but sigh the ruthlessness of time.
Fortunately, Xin Zi was a person with a good mentality. She chose to rent a house in Shanghai and became a blogger when she had no drama to shoot. She shares her travel stories, sports routines, and happy little lives on social platforms.
Looking at the photos she posted, it seemed that time did not leave too many traces on her. She is still in good shape and has an enviable waistcoat.
Huang Shengyi
In the bright stars of the entertainment industry, Huang Shengyi is like a dazzling star, even if she has played a witty girl, she can not hide her light. At that time, makeup and plastic surgery were not yet popular, she was almost without makeup in front of the camera, and her beautiful facial features were like the girl next door. Who would have thought that this play became her debut, paving an Avenue of Stars for her.
Subsequently, Huang Shengyi met Zhou Xingchi, the most important person in his life. With her amazing performance in "Kung Fu", she became popular overnight and became the dream lover of countless audiences. Awards and honors came one after another, and she finally had the capital to gain a foothold in the entertainment industry.
However, at the height of her career, she chose to leave because of her contradiction with the brokerage company. Just when people speculated about her next step, she married the tycoon Yang Zi and became the object of envy. After getting close to the rich, her star road is more smooth, please climb another tall building in her career, and is also known as one of the "four little flowers" in the circle.
Not only that, Huang Shengyi also showed a strong female side, set up his own company and became the boss. In terms of emotional management, she is also excellent, and her love story with her husband Yang Zi has become a story in the circle. Today, they are legal husband and wife, have two lovely sons, and have a happy family of four.
With the passage of time, Huang Shengyi's wealth doubled and became a hot rich woman in the circle. Without economic pressure, she pays more attention to maintenance and health, her skin is still tender and tight, and there is no trace of years.
Now she is still active in the forefront of the show business, filming, recording variety shows, live broadcast with goods …... I'm so busy. At the same time, she does not forget her original ideals and aspirations, actively participate in public welfare undertakings and give back to society. Compared with the other stars in the play, her development is undoubtedly the best.
Zhang Ji
Do you still remember Zhang Ji with deep eyes and long hair? At that time, it was with this unruly temperament that he was taken a fancy to by the agent and became the number one man on the screen.
His image seems to be born for that character: stories are hidden in melancholy eyes, long flowing hair moves with the wind, slightly raised lips reveal a little stubbornness, and the innate musical temperament is unforgettable.
However, the road to acting was not as smooth as he had hoped. Although he became famous by virtue of that play, the response of the next few film and television works was mediocre. Audiences seem to prefer to remember what he looked like at first, and he has come to realize that glamour in front of the screen is not a long-term solution.
So, when he appeared on the satellite TV music program for the last time, Zhang Ji resolutely moved to the background. This U-turn not only enabled him to find a new stage of life, but also enabled him to perform in many fields.
He may not shine as an actor, but he has won many awards as a model. His unique temperament and body proportion seem to be made for the catwalk. Behind the scenes, he has served as a judge of many model competitions, and has won the respect of the industry with his professional vision and original opinions.
After years of deep cultivation in the modeling world, he not only became a vice president of a company, but also served as vice chairman of the local modeling committee. These titles and identity changes are undoubtedly the best affirmation of his efforts and efforts over the years.
In terms of family, Zhang Ji also gained a lot. His wife is an ice dancer and their relationship is stable and sweet. Their daughter was born as early as 2009, adding more joy and warmth to the happy family.
As time went by, Zhang Ji was no longer the long-haired teenager he had been. He cut off his long hair and dressed more tastefully.
Although the figure is some fat, there is no bohemian at that time, but there is more maturity and stability between the eyebrows. In this way, he is more real, more approachable, and more cordial and admirable.
Sheng Chao
In the starry sky of the entertainment industry, some stars are short and dazzling, and Sheng Chao is one of them. With a professional background, tall stature and handsome face, he is destined to shine on the stage. However, his acting career has not been plain sailing.
After graduation, Sheng Chao embarked on the road of modeling in Shanghai, and his half-year catwalk career made him gradually come to the fore in the fashion circle. However, fate always favors those who are prepared. By chance, he was discovered by a passer-by, whose eyes shone with the discovery of the treasure, insisting that he had a character.
At first, Sheng Chao thought it was just a trick of a liar. After all, such stories are common in the entertainment industry. However, the sincerity of the other party finally moved him, and he decided to take a chance and take over the TV series called "Red Apple".
In the play, he plays a cool boy who is crazy for all the girls in the school, and his unruly temperament and deep eyes fascinate countless audiences. For a while, Sheng Chao's name spread in the show business.
However, just when people expected him to bring more wonderful works, Sheng Chao chose to retire bravely. After starring in two TV dramas, he resolutely left show business and turned into business. He set up a big stall in partnership with his friends, and became a chef himself.
The fireworks of the stalls let Sheng Chao experience different joys of life, and also let him gradually gain a foothold in the business world. It is said that later, he even gave up his career as a big stall and began to dabble in business investment. With his keen vision and extraordinary wisdom, he braved the wind and waves in the business world.
As time flies, Sheng Chao's face may not be as brave as he was then, but his life is interesting. In a 2016 co-production of five male actors, he reappeared in the public eye, though only briefly, but enough to evoke the memories of countless audiences.
Gu Chengdong
Gu Chengdong, the name may not be loud today, but in the entertainment industry at that time, he was synonymous with the master of flirting with girls. In the play, by virtue of his strong figure and sweet words, he can always easily capture the hearts of young girls. However, outside the play, he is very different from the image of the screen, and people are surprised.
A fan event, which was supposed to be a sea of joy, turned into a mess because of the excessive enthusiasm of the fans. Gu Chengdong actually lost his temper at the scene. His move undoubtedly shocked and disappointed the reporters and fans present. His public image also fell from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the valley overnight.
Since then, his acting career seems to have pressed the pause button. Although he tried to work with the lead actors again, the effect was mediocre and no one asked him to film again. His acting career, like a meteor, short and bright, but in an instant extinguished the light.
However, life does not stop because of a setback. Gu Chengdong, a man who once had boundless scenery on the screen, began his road of transformation in order to survive.
He came to Shanghai and devoted himself to the catering industry. With early modeling experience and a keen sense of fashion, his catering career gradually took off and slowly got on the right track.
But Gu Chengdong is not satisfied with this. He is far-sighted and sees the great potential behind the modeling industry. As a result, he turned around again, went from the front to the background, and began to engage in the planning and management of models. His move not only allows his career to climb to another high-rise, but also allows him to find a new direction in life.
Gu Chengdong is now the boss of a cultural planning company. The stage lighting project of large-scale cultural activities led by him can always bring shocking visual effects to people. And his modeling organization, under his meticulous care, has become a new force in the industry.
Looking at Gu Chengdong's present photos, it is not difficult to find that the years have left traces on his face. His face was a little rounder than before, but his figure was still very good. The eight-pack abs were still obvious, as if they were telling him about his past glory and his current persistence.
Qu Xin
When the play was star-studded, the protagonists naturally attracted most of the attention. But in the corner, there is a supporting role, like a temporarily neglected star, he is qu Xin. At that time, he was like a piece of unpolished jade, which was not dazzling, but it had its own brilliance.
To tell you the truth, qu Xin is a very attractive young man. A smile, like a big boy next door, the sun can not help but also follow happy. His enthusiasm was like the summer wind, which warmed people's hearts.
In addition to acting, he has another identity-- a model. On the catwalk, he seemed to be a different person, cold, handsome and professional in his every move. Participate in various national competitions, he can always take home a few shiny trophies, people have to admire his strength.
It was because of his excellent performance in the modeling world that he was chosen by his agent and began his acting career. At that time, he was like a rising star, which people looked forward to.
After becoming famous, qu Xin continued to play, and advertising endorsements came one after another. Just when everyone thought he would do well in show business, he suddenly chose to retire. This made many fans feel sorry, but also understood his decision.
Although he left the screen, qu Xin did not leave everyone's line of sight. He is still active in major business activities, and with the background of modeling, his performance at auto shows always attracts a lot of attention. Looking at his confident appearance on the catwalk, everyone seemed to see him shining on the screen again.
Twenty years have passed, and the years have not left many traces on qu Xin's face. He is still handsome, but a little more mature and stable. Although the appearance is still online, the youth and childishness have faded, replaced by the charm and charm precipitated by the years.
Today's qu Xin, although he has not made much progress in the show business, he is still doing what he loves. Outside the play, he found his own stage and value.
Twin sisters
On the screen of that era, they were youthful 17-year-old twins, lively and lovely, attracting the attention of countless viewers. However, little is known about the fact that they are also blood-related twin sisters. As time flies, their figures flashed in many TV dramas, but failed to stir up too much spray.
Now, when it comes to the sisters, maybe their names have changed and their faces are different from what they used to be. Looking at their current photos, many people may wonder whether they have had plastic surgery. After all, compared with the pure image in the play at that time, now they are a bit more mature and charming, and the change in appearance is indeed not small.
But in any case, they are still the twin sisters we remember. Perhaps the name has changed, the face has also changed, but that unique charm and youthful breath, but always linger.
Whenever we recall their wonderful performance on the screen, we can't help but applaud them and give praise for their youth and efforts.
