reluctant to leave the stars: jiang shiyan successfully captured tang yang with a passionate kiss, and the screen was filled with pink bubbles

"reluctant to leave the stars" starring zhang xincheng and wang yuwen is currently on the air. although the two have brought out their "childhood sweethearts" in order to promote the show, the comparison pictures before and after 12 years do seem to have a sense of fate.

but even though fans shouted "it tastes so good," the work was not recognized by the audience, and fans felt that zhang xincheng, who made his debut in youth dramas, hated iron and steel:

"please don't waste yourself in this embarrassing drama about idols not being idols, and workplace not being workplace!"

indeed, since he became famous with "hello, old time", he has rarely produced impressive film and television works, but that time was not right now - it happened to be the school drama at the time, which made him famous a lot. a young boy:

liu haoran in "the best of us", hu yitian in "to our simple little beauty"...

but now that nearly 10 years have passed, what has happened to the actors who became popular with their "teenage" personas? have their transformation been successful?

1. liu haoran: transformation failed?

representative work: "the best of us"

in 2016, the tv series "the best of us" adapted from august chang'an's novel of the same name was released, and the "grieving" cp also successfully emerged from the industry.

liu haoran, who played the male lead yu huai at the time, was only 19 years old, but he had already made his official debut with the movie "beijing love story" and was nominated for the best newcomer award.

he has a harmless "first love face". although he is not handsome in the traditional sense, he is particularly refreshing and youthful.

moreover, liu haoran also performed well on the big screen. the comedy movie "detective chinatown" he participated in was a dark horse at the box office that year.

"the best of us" is also well-known, popular, and popular among the public. it also unexpectedly opened a new chapter in youth school dramas.

this drama scored 8.9 points, not only crushing the movie version starring chen feiyu three years later, but also being far ahead among works of the same type.

since then, liu haoran has become a leader among similar niches, and has participated in the "tang detective" series and other works that have received good responses.

but he didn't seem to follow the "traffic path". later, he "went down to earth" to star in the legendary drama "jiuzhou piaomiao lu" which also unexpectedly hit the market.

in 2020, liu haoran met zhou dongyu while filming "fire on the plains", and there were frequent scandals between the two in the future.

"four seas", which was originally hailed as a major production by the outside world, failed miserably at the box office due to various reasons.

especially in "the winter" released last year, he "lost" his precious sense of youth. he was even criticized by the outside world: "he looks dirty after "the winter"."

in fact, it can be seen that after becoming popular, liu haoran and his team were eager to transform and tried very hard to create different characters such as rough guy and sportsman, but they all failed.

he was also hotly searched for picking his feet carelessly after playing ball. although he immediately responded sincerely, his popularity among passers-by inevitably declined rapidly.

2. zhang xincheng: is it difficult to break through?

representative work: "hello, old time"

zhang xincheng, who is 2 years older than liu haoran, broke out of the industry in 2017 by filming the adaptation of august chang'an "hello, old time".

he was already 22 years old at the time, but because he was full of youthfulness, it was not inappropriate to play a high school student.

it was also because of this drama that he and li randi, who plays the heroine, became the new on-screen couple, but they did not expect that they would also become "lei" in the future - the two have been involved in ambiguous scandals for 7 years, but they have never been together. don't admit it.

the popular zhang xincheng is just like the "student master" character he marketed, with abundant resources and huge business. he has successively appeared in works such as "the chronicles of the song dynasty youth", "the snail and the oriole", and "snow pear stewed with rock sugar", and has received great response. good and bad.

as a result, his acting skills appear unstable. for example, in "in the name of family", he earned tears from the audience with his role as "he ziqiu".

but in dramas such as "light abyss", "light" and "corridor pavilion", the performance is obviously not outstanding.

in the past few years, zhang xincheng is still regarded as a leader among the "95 niche". he has successively won works such as "dark fire" and "hard manufacturing", and his expectations are high.

however, last year, he played the role of "li ran" in chang'an's adaptation of "so many years" in august, which made the audience complain: it was too dramatic to play lin yang and then li ran!

in addition, zhang xincheng and li landi were accidentally encountered by netizens on a date in thailand last year, which also caused fans of both parties to fight each other.

currently, zhang xincheng has many dramas to be aired, but none of them has reached a new peak in ratings. the high-anticipated "can't give up the stars" unexpectedly failed to hit the market. it can be said that the future is unclear.

3. hu yitian: is personal morality compromised?

representative work: "to our simple little beauty"

hu yitian, who was born in 1993, was already 24 years old when he participated in "to our simple little beauty" in 2017. but he is handsome and tall, and his role as the boy next door jiang chen is particularly outstanding.

sure enough, after the show was aired, hu yitian immediately became popular and became one of the popular niche actors.

but it is said that he is famous for his popularity, and soon it was reported that he was exposed by his ex-girlfriend, and it was even rumored that he had a night party with a girl in a hotel.

at that time, many fans came forward to deny the idol's claim, but the result was that the whistleblower released the wechat chat records between the girl and hu yitian.

after the incident escalated, hu yitian even blocked the girl, which made her completely irritated and released four "bedtime recordings" of the two of them.

the most explosive part of the recording was when he was suspected of dissing shen yue, his partner in "little beautiful", saying that she "wasn't good-looking, just to make most girls feel empathetic."

before that, hu yitian had discussed cp with her and hinted that she was his ideal type.

after this incident, of course, the filter in his drama began to break down, and his popularity among passers-by never recovered.

although he later appeared in works such as "the two prouds" and "little storm", and even played sheng huainan in "secret love in huainan" in chang'an in august, there was no big splash.

however, hu yitian's resources are still very good. in 2022 alone, he has produced 5 works, but none of them have been hits.

this year's "please fall in love with me like this" and "xi huazhi", a collaboration with zhang jingyi, both received mediocre responses, and he became a "faggot" in the eyes of others.

4. bai yu: fighting for strength?

representative work: "suddenly this summer"

the 2018 school drama "suddenly this summer" has a rating of 8.0 so far, and its results are also good.

especially the male protagonist bai yu was already 28 years old at the time, but with his superb acting skills, he was able to hold the 18-year-old zhang yuan.

for this reason, it is not unreasonable for him to be rated as "disgraced" by the outside world.

in fact, it is not easy for him to become popular. in his early years, he played the unlikable character cao guang in "a little smile is alluring", so he was easily branded.

but bai yu later produced "beauty as stuffing" and "soothe the soul"two hit dramas, gradually gained a name in domestic entertainment.

and "suddenly this summer" was his last "pretending to be young" work, because after that, he starred in the suspense drama "the silent truth" to prove his true strength.

in the play, bai yu uses different eyes to interpret the regretful and wonderful life of jiang yang, a prosecutor who sticks to justice. for this reason, bai yu was shortlisted for the best actor in the asia content awards at the busan international film festival.

in recent years, bai yu has made a successful transformation. with dramas such as "children of the qiao family" and "going west from the jade gate", he has become a clear stream among the "90 niche" and has proven his worth with his strength.

and he is also very low-key, basically in a state of "disappearing if he is not filming", but the works he produces always surprise people every time.

5. hou minghao: too many resources?

representative work: "if a man is not strong, it would be a waste of time for a young man"

hou minghao, who made his debut as a member of the boy band fresh, initially took the idol route, but two years later he announced his solo career and became an actor.

when he debuted, he had a very high starting point. in his early years, he even made a name for himself with the label "xiao luhan".

especially in 2017, the latter fell into a career bottleneck due to the official announcement of their relationship, while hou minghao successfully transformed due to the movie "the devotion of suspect x".

in the same year, he also took on the role of the ruthless killer "the picker" in "cambrian".

but the work that really brought hou minghao to the attention of the public was the school drama "the young man is not tough", which was broadcast in 2018.

the male lead played by him is righteous, brave, innocent and optimistic, which conforms to all the public imagination of the boy in white.

originally, people thought that hou minghao would take advantage of this "east wind" coming out of campus to get on the fast track to fame.

but since then, he has not been able to produce any more outstanding works.

although the following year, hou minghao participated in the adventure drama "the wrath of the sea" adapted from the ip "tomb raiders".

however, the agency didn't pay much attention to the drama, and even gave it "zero publicity", which resulted in it not being as popular as other male stars in the same cast.

in 2021, hou minghao's contract with his former employer is about to expire. at the same time, his starring role in "strange stories from a chinese studio" was suspended due to the heroine's proxy incident. he was involved in it and was exposed to a lot of negative speculation.

in addition, "reading class", which he collaborated with song zuer, was also implicated in the other party's tax issues and could not be broadcast.

in addition to these "big pits", hou minghao's works such as "this is such a woman" and "sail" have not made much splash, but last year's hit "under the stranger" and "protect the heart" received a good response.

this year, his works such as "young babylon" and "young white horse drunken in the spring breeze" have made some splash, but whether he can become popular depends on the follow-up "big dream returns" and "fox demon little matchmaker bamboo industry chapter" 》.

6. peng yuchang: survive through cracks?

representative work: "the sky of the wind dog boy"

like liu haoran, peng yuchang, who has a boyish face, has been active in youth dramas for many years.

he made his debut at the age of 19 with the role of the strong father-in-law in "prince concubine's promotion", and the following year he debuted as "tiantian brother".

in fact, his acting career is quite smooth. with his lovable appearance and natural acting skills, it can be said that he is very recognizable among the "post-90s niche".

before filming "the sky of the wind dog", he also starred in "the waves" with tan songyun, "take my brother away" with zhang zifeng, and the youth drama "struggle!" "youth", they basically look like young boys.

especially in "the sky of the wind dog" broadcast in 2020, peng yuchang brilliantly interpreted the "month-old spare tire" tu jun.

the male protagonist he plays is closer to an ordinary person - he is not tall, rich, handsome, or long-legged, but he is affectionate and loyal to his brothers and devoted and affectionate to the heroine. this is peng yuchang's characteristic.

and privately, he also has a good personality. when he was photographed with a beautiful woman, he took the initiative to admit that he already had a girlfriend.

in recent years, peng yuchang's career plan is to focus on both film and television. he has produced tv series such as "ladies' rules" and "under the stranger", and has also made great achievements on the big screen.

on the first day of the lunar new year, he starred in "let's shake the sun together", which was also "stuck" among many blockbusters to survive. in addition, "there is a commissary by the clouds", "miss wild elephant", etc. were also released one after another.

7. lin yi: continue to exert force?

representative work: "the little time that gives us warmth"

among all the male stars who have made their debut in school dramas, lin yi is the youngest:

born in 1999, he signed a contract with tang dynasty as early as 2015. two years later, he participated in the casting event of "hello, old time" and auditioned for the leading actor lin yang, but in the end he was defeated by zhang xincheng and was not selected.

in the same year, he officially entered the entertainment industry as an actor with the science fiction movie "hope island".

in 2018, lin yi participated in the campus drama "give us a warm little time" and attracted attention as the male protagonist and geeky academic gu weiyi.

however, his development was not strong in those years.

it was not until the fantasy drama "linglong" starring zhao jinmai was launched in 2021 that the audience saw it again.

lin yi's advantage lies in his appearance: his temperament is very smart and clear, giving people the impression of a clean big boy. some people call him "the ceiling for male protagonists in domestic entertainment idol dramas."

indeed, at the end of last year, "derailment" starring him and liu haocun was aired, which immediately attracted attention and bizarrely caused the woman's popularity to flip overnight, becoming a new "little white flower" actress.

this year, lin yi's most outstanding role may be the "younger brother" he xi in the hit "the story of a rose" some time ago. however, he did not have many roles and the bonuses he received were limited.

the above are the young talents who have become famous for starring in youth dramas. however, over the years, they have also taken different development paths with the passage of time. who do you think has taken the clearest path and is likely to become a big hit in the future?
