The 78-year-old actress Cheng Pei-pei passed away due to illness. Celebrities in the circle posted messages to commemorate her, including all the members who recorded the variety show "Flowers and Youth 1" with her 10 years ago.

Zhang Kaili said: "When we miss you, we can watch Hua Shaoyi."

Xu Qing said: "May our thoughts turn into flowers blooming along your way."

Liu Tao said: "I miss you! I miss you all the time!"...

Indeed, this program was the most popular at the time, and the members had a great understanding and loving interactions, which also allowed young audiences to get to know Zheng Peipei, the elderly "first-generation heroine".

At the same time, it also attracted attention to Zhang Han, Li Fei'er, Hua Chenyu and others who were in the climbing stage, and their careers took a further step forward.

But now, ten years have passed, and "Flowers in the Sky" has reached its sixth season. The popularity is still high, but the members have been replaced by new generation members such as Sun Qian, Rong Zishan and others.

However, Liu Tao, Zhang Kaili and Zhang Han also appeared in the recording of the ten-year special project "Friends" broadcast before the sixth season, but the response was not as good as the previous season. It can be said that the splash was very mediocre.

From this result, we can see that the careers of the members in the first season have undergone significant changes:

A closer look reveals that the exposure, popularity and influence are indeed not even close to their peak:

Some even seemed to have been soft-killed and had not been seen for a long time.

1. Liu Tao: "National Virtuous Wife" is frequently divorced

When Liu Tao was recording "Flowers and Youth 1", she had just ended her super productive period of "working hard to pay off her husband's debts".

Moreover, she was labeled as the "national good wife" for starring in works such as "The Good Wife" and "Older and Wife". Even in the show, Liu Tao behaves like an intellectual big sister and is labeled as a "good woman".

Indeed, not long after her debut, she fell in love with the wealthy Wang Ke and got married. She then retired from the entertainment industry and returned home to take care of her husband and children.

But unexpectedly, not long after giving birth to a pair of children, her husband went bankrupt due to the financial crisis and owed huge debts of several hundred million.

Liu Tao did not flee when the disaster struck, but returned to filming in 2009. Rumor has it that she filmed 15 movies in three years and paid off the 400 million yuan.

It was also during this period that she joined the crew of "Flowers in the Sky 1" and embarked on a celebrity "poor travel" trip with Zheng Peipei and others. The show unexpectedly became a hit and her popularity also increased.

After that, Liu Tao's career has been rising steadily. She has starred in works such as "The Legend of Miyue" and "Ode to Joy". While winning numerous awards, she has also successfully transformed into a "female boss". She is good in acting, personality, and popularity.

Not only that, she also joined the live broadcast ranks, and became known as "Liu Yidao", creating sales myths one after another.

But at the most glorious stage of her career, the relationship between Liu Tao and her husband Wang Ke became increasingly mysterious. In a program, the other party bluntly said that the two of them were just a "tool relationship", which caused an uproar in the outside world.

Moreover, there were several reports that Wang Ke had failed in investments and owed foreign debts, and Liu Tao had no choice but to repay them. In the process, their marriage frequently hit the rocks.

In response to this, Liu Tao denied it one by one, but at the same time she did stop showing off her affection.

In terms of career, she did not continue her previous glory. Her consecutive performances such as "I Really Love You" and "Starry Sea" received poor responses, and she was mocked by many people: a middle-aged Mary Sue.

2. Xu Qing: The "Princess of Beijing Circle" is suspected of being banned

The third sister Xu Qing in "Flowers in Youth 1" is a favored girl of heaven - when the show was recorded, she had been in the industry for more than 20 years and had starred in classic works such as "Sunrise in the East, Rain in the West" and "The Storm in the Qing Dynasty".

But perhaps due to her personality and emotional problems, Xu Qing decided to retire at the height of her career and stayed out of the entertainment industry for many years. She only returned to filming in 2010 and then focused her energy on acting in dramas.

In 2014, she appeared in "Flowers and Youth 1" - this was also her first variety show debut after many years of debut.

Although some people think that Xu Qing's performance in the show is too pretentious, and she continues to flirt with young handsome boys, and even has rumors of scandals.

However, it must be said that she had a lot of fun in the first season, so she participated in the recording of the second season the following year.

But this time Xu Qing is no longer happy, and this season's show is even labeled as the "craziest" variety show by the outside world.

In the same year, she became popular again for her performance in the movie "Mr. Six". Although she was 46 years old, Xu Qing still had her charm. She then frequently appeared on hot searches because of her good condition and was also called the "ageless goddess".

After that, she transformed into a director, directing the movie "Blood Romance" and also starred in "Evil Does Not Suppress Justice" directed by Jiang Wen.

However, Xu Qing does not seem to have any intention of striking while the iron is hot and returning to her glorious path. She has been filming despite having few works.

Her last publicly broadcast work was the 2019 costume drama "The Legend of Nine States", and she has been performing in dramas the rest of the time.

It was not until the end of last year that Xu Qing suddenly became a hot topic because the studio under her name was fined 6.24 million yuan.

In fact, as early as a few months ago, some netizens revealed that she was an officially confirmed bad artist, and her face was replaced by AI in the movie of the previous year.

The movie that the blogger was talking about was "Smell of Smoke" filmed by Xu Qing in 2018. It was scheduled to be released a year later, but was suddenly withdrawn for some unknown reason. At that time, Xu Qing was the official heroine.

But in 2023, "Wen Yan" was renamed "The Thing My Dad Didn't Tell You", and the heroine "disappeared".

Coincidentally, another movie she starred in, "Green-Faced Shura", was suspected of having her face replaced by AI.

In response to this, Xu Qing’s studio came out to refute the rumor, saying “Summer, nothing happened.”

But in fact, she is only active on the drama stage and rarely appears in public.

3. Zhang Kaili: "Calling Sister" is controversial

Compared with the above two, Zhang Kaili, the "second sister" in "Flowers and Youth 1", is not much better.

She is the first generation representative of "good wife" and the movie "Desire" in her early years made her a popular actress.

But after performing the drama, Zhang Kaili got married, had a daughter, and remained silent for a while.

It was not until nearly 20 years later that she transformed herself into the "national mother" and her career took off again after starring in dramas such as "Chinese Family" and "Naked Marriage".

Before recording "Flowers and Youth", she was recognized by the audience for her performance in the hit drama "Let's Get Married".

So at that time, Zhang Kaili was very popular among the people and had good popularity among the public, but as the "plot" progressed, she had more and more flaws.

For example, being emotional and noisy, but basically there is no big problem.

What was unexpected was that after that, Zhang Kaili starred in a series of major dramas at the beginning of the year, such as "In the Name of People" and "The World", but was repeatedly questioned for "no improvement in her acting skills" and was even bluntly called a "drama scoundrel".

In 2019, the senior citizen shoes he endorsed were criticized for "false advertising", causing his popularity to drop sharply.

Not only that, Zhang Kaili also sent her daughter Zhang Keying into the entertainment industry. The latter successively won works such as "Happiness to Ten Thousand Homes" and "Warm and Sweet", but was ridiculed as a "resource-rich" because of her acting skills and appearance.

In 2022, Zhang Kaili also recorded "Flowers Divas Hit the Road 4" and was criticized for being "possessed by the spirit of drama".

4. Li Fei'er: "Variety Show Queen" is getting more and more obscure

Li Fei'er also failed because of many of her performances in variety shows.

In fact, when she debuted, her resources, appearance and popularity were all remarkable, especially her two-year underground relationship with Huang Xiaoming, which also increased her traffic and attracted much attention.

Although Li Feier seemed to be lukewarm when recording "Flowers and Youth 1", she has actually reached a stage of stable development.

She releases one or two film and television works every year, and her performance in this variety show is natural and likable, which has won her a wave of support from fans.

However, during the show, Li Fei'er also had a scandal with Zhang Han, and was even suspected of being an intruder between the man and his ex-girlfriend, and was therefore scolded.

As for film and television dramas, Li Fei'er's acting skills are also good. In the 2016 "Love So Far Away", she performed a very empathetic crying scene.

But despite this, her biggest movement at the time was all caused by gossip:

In addition to the famous ice dancer Xiang Guangyao, she was also rumored to have an affair with her bestie's ex Li Xiang...

In 2021, Li Fei'er joined "Sisters Who Make Waves 2" and became a hot topic because of her reunion with her ex-boyfriend Huang Xiaoming. This incident also made Angelababy break down and she posted a statement to clarify that she did not interfere that year.

In addition to not having any serious works, the audience also found that her face has been changing:

She had already raised doubts when recording "The Taste of Time Travel" in 2019, and was again suspected of having a do-on in "Infinite Beyond Class 2" at the beginning of this year.

In addition, her performance in the show was not satisfactory, and she was even described by the audience as "suffocating and angry." If applied to real life, she would be "the most annoying colleague."

During the recording process, Li Fei'er was late, blamed others, and had no sense of teamwork. Later, she made a major mistake and lost important props, which led to the interruption of filming...

What’s even more speechless is that her acting skills in the show were not outstanding, which led to more negative reviews.

At present, Li Fei'er has not appeared in any film or television drama for two years, and her performance in variety shows has been criticized. It can be said that her acting career is in jeopardy.

5. Zhang Han: The glory of "Greasy Boss" is gone

And her rumored boyfriend Zhang Han's career is not as prosperous as before.

As we all know, he became a popular young actor after starring in "Let's Watch Meteor Shower Together" in 2009, and then started his acting career as a "professional boss".

In "Flowers and Youth 1", Zhang Han, who served as a tour guide, showed great responsibility and gained new fans.

After that, he set up his own studio and opened a film and television company.

Although the reviews of his consecutive performances such as "Come on, Mr. Love" and "The Four" were mixed, his popularity remained high.

Especially in 2017, it was the highlight year for Zhang Han. He changed his previous "dominant president" personality by participating in the movie "Wolf Warrior 2" and challenged to play Zhuo Yifan, which received good reviews.

But soon after, many of his own works such as "Legendary Tycoon" and "Warm Strings" unfortunately failed, and he was labeled as "greasy boss".

The film and television dramas received poor responses, and Zhang Han’s performance in variety shows was also questioned.

For example, he left different criticisms in the programs he recorded, such as "Signal of Love", "Fifty Miles of Peach Blossom Village", and "We Newcomers to the Workplace".

In particular, the 2022 drama "Gentlemen of East District 8" which he wrote and performed himself shocked the audience as soon as it was released. It was popular for 23 days and created 271 hot searches.

However, most of these hot searches are complaints. Netizens have started from the plot, lines, character settings, performance details, etc. of the drama, saying that Zhang Han "objectifies women and is greasy", and is suspected of skirting the rules to attract attention.

Eventually, the official media criticized the show, causing it to be taken offline.

After that, Zhang Han's presence in the domestic entertainment industry has decreased, with only one show, "Pearl River Family", being broadcast last year.

6. Hua Chenyu: The “Singing Master” is becoming more and more of a minority

When recording "Flowers and Youth 1", Hua Chenyu had just debuted and was a popular "group darling" figure.

As his popularity grew, his star path became bright. He produced a series of famous works such as "The Outsider", "The King and the Pauper" and "The Boy with the Jackdaw", and also became a regular guest on "Ace vs. Ace".

At the height of his popularity, Hua Chenyu was a “top traffic star” with nearly 40 million fans.

Although there are audiences who don't like him and think that his music style is incongruous and his performance method is sensational, most people still have the impression that he is harmless and cute.

It was not until the beginning of 2021 that Hua Chenyu suddenly announced that he and female singer Zhang Bichen had a daughter without being married.

This incident caused a huge uproar. After all, before this, he had always been portraying himself as a pure person, and his rumored girlfriend was G.E.M.

After that, many scandals about Hua Chenyu were exposed and his image was severely damaged.

Although his resources are still online, there are indeed fewer and fewer audiences who like him, and some even criticize his unique performance style, saying that his performance is "magic."
