" Menghualu " ended recently. The show started with a score of 8.3, reached 8.8 in the middle, and now officially ends with a score of 8.5, which can be regarded as a perfect ending.
The role of "Gu Qianfan" played by Chen Xiao in this drama has also received widespread attention. In recent years, Chen Xiao has appeared in many TV series and created many classic characters. For example, Gao Zhan in "The Legend of Lu Zhen", Yang Guo in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", and Shen Xingyi in "The Flowers Bloomed and the Moon Was Full" all left a deep impression on the audience.
Chen Xiao has kept a relatively low profile since he married Michelle Chen in 2016. Except when filming and broadcasting, there is almost no news about him.
But I have to say that Chen Xiao has indeed changed a lot in recent years. It is not difficult to see these changes in Chen Xiao from the original "Legend of Lu Zhen" to the current "Menghua Lu".
Changes in appearance
Chen Xiao’s appearance has always been obvious to all, and there has been almost no decline in appearance since his debut. In the past few years, he has taken the uncle route. Although people are not used to it and his style does not suit him, at least he still has good looks.
Chen Xiao was 26 years old when she appeared in "Legend of Lu Zhen". At that time, she was full of high-spirited youth and full of vitality between her brows. "The Legend of Lu Zhen" was Chen Xiao's first male-led drama. At that time, his acting skills were not very mature and his appearance was still a bit childish. But overall, the plot is very interesting and the actors are very good-looking. This drama also made him famous overnight and made many viewers remember Chen Xiao.
Chen Xiao was already 34 years old when he appeared in "Meng Hua Lu". At this time, his appearance was still online, but his youthfulness had faded away, his brows were tougher, and his temperament was much calmer and restrained.
If Chen Xiao in "The Legend of Lu Zhen" is as dazzling as the morning sun, then Chen Xiao in "Meng Hua Lu" is more like the bright and gentle moonlight. The passage of time has given him a more mature charm, which can be regarded as the charm of an actor.
Changes in acting skills
In fact, Chen Xiao's acting skills have always been ignored. Since his debut, more attention has been focused on the evaluation of his appearance. Many people have commented and analyzed his acting skills.
But from "Legend of Lu Zhen" to "Meng Hua Lu", it is not difficult to see that Chen Xiao's acting skills have made great progress. When playing Gao Zhan, his emotions, anger, sorrow, and joy were all reflected on his face, and his overall performance was superficial, with no obvious layering and little inner drama.

In "Meng Hua Lu", Chen Xiao's line skills have improved a lot, and he can hear the inner monologue of the characters' emotions. Chen Xiao's expression of joy, anger, sorrow and joy in this drama mainly relies on his eyes and movements. The eye scene actually tests the actor's acting skills the most because it is difficult to master. He may appear calm on the surface, but he must express complex emotions through his eyes.
Especially in emotional scenes, when love is conveyed through the eyes, it will be difficult to be convincing if the performance is not good enough. In this drama, Gu Qianfan, played by Chen Xiao, has obvious love in his eyes when he looks at the heroine. It’s no wonder that many viewers want to clap ~
Personality Changes
When Chen Xiao starred in "The Legend of Lu Zhen", it can be seen from the interviews outside the show that he himself is quite lively and quite talkative in private. was very funny and fun-loving in variety shows, which was in line with his age at the time.
Nowadays, Chen Xiao talks less both in and out of the play. He is much more restrained. Although he looks very young, he feels mature and stable. In the interview, other actors in the same group also said that Chen Xiao does not talk much in private and is not active in the group.
From "The Legend of Lu Zhen" to "Meng Hua Lu", Chen Xiao has performed wonderfully in both dramas. This is one of the reasons why the two dramas became so popular.It can be seen that Chen Xiao has indeed been filming seriously in recent years. Although he himself is relatively low-key, he always surprises the audience when there is a new drama, and his acting skills are also improving step by step, making people more fond of him.
