In recent years, domestic entertainment has gradually emerged, while Hong Kong and Taiwan film and television circles have gradually shown decline, and some celebrities have gradually disappeared in front of others.
Especially those male stars who live in middle age. Some people have lost all their talents, some have gained weight and become older, and they can only abdicate and give way to the virtuous. However, why did the idol-level Taiwanese male stars who became famous for their "silly and sweet drama" in their early years gradually disappear?
For example, Ming Dao, He Junxiang , Li William, Zheng Yuanchang and others have starred in idol dramas before 2010, and have harvested the hearts of a large number of fans. But why are these male stars who were once praised by thousands of people now unknown?
. Mingdao
In 2002, Mingdao began to serve as the host of the travel program "Adventure King". During his two years as a host, Mingdao also won the Golden Bell Award for "Cultural and Educational Information Program Host Award".
In 2004, Ming Dao entered the entertainment industry for the first time and collaborated with Wang Xinling , William Li and others on " Heavenly Kingdom Wedding Dress ", and began to make his mark.
A year later, Ming Dao collaborated with Chen Qiaoen on the idol drama " Prince Turns into a Frog ". In the play, Ming Dao's male lead " Shan Junhao " can be said to have created the trend of domineering presidents. The ratings of this drama
even surpassed the classic idol drama "Meteor Garden". Ming Dao also became a hit and became one of the most popular Taiwanese male stars. In the years following
, Ming Dao has appeared in many idol dramas one after another and participated in many variety shows, and his career is developing in full swing.
However, from when, Mingdao gradually disappeared from the audience's vision. In 2019, Mingdao participated in " Actor Please Take Place ".
In the program, he said: The scene performed on this stage is the first scene he has acted this year. The implication is that he hasn't been on the crew for a year.
Nowadays, Ming Dao occasionally has the opportunity to appear in some variety shows, and film and television works are pitifully rare. His recent work " Perfect Him " is also an online drama.
The male star who once dominated idol dramas has now fallen to do a micro-business with Zhangting , which makes people feel regretful. Nowadays, Tao Hong has parted ways with Zhang Ting. I wonder when Mingdao and Zhang Ting's business will be able to cooperate?
. He Junxiang
In 2003, He Junxiang starred in his first TV series "Seventh Grade Student", thus officially entering the entertainment industry. Afterwards, He Junxiang starred in another movie " Love Contract ", but the response was mediocre.
What really made him famous was the 2005 " Demon is by your side ". The work he collaborated with Rainie Yang and is perfect. Even during that period of idol dramas, this work was one of the hottest works.
With this work, He Junxiang has become the most popular male lead in the idol drama, and at the same time he has also won the love of countless fans.
However, as he grows older, He Junxiang's acting career has gradually been restricted. In addition, Taiwanese idol dramas are all a routine, which gradually makes the audience feel aesthetic fatigue, and He Junxiang's acting career gradually declined.
Nowadays, He Junxiang rarely has any works released. It will basically take a new film and television drama one or two years to shoot, and he is basically in a semi-retired state.
The last time He Junxiang received attention was because he made some injustice remarks. Although he apologized in a timely manner, he was criticized by netizens many times.
Nowadays, he has no scenes to shoot, and some young audiences don’t know him, which is a pity that he has a good look.
, Wang Dongcheng
In 2005, Wang Dongcheng officially debuted because he played " Ajin " in the idol drama " Prank Kiss ".In the same year, he formed the " Fahrenheit " combination with Wu Zun , Chen Yiru , and Aaron Yan . In the years following
, Wang Dongcheng has taken a two-pronged approach in the entertainment industry and the music industry, and has won the love of many fans. " Ultimate Family ", "Roll! He is seen in classic Taiwanese idol dramas such as Fried Rice Egg and "Ultimate Class 1".
Although Wang Dongcheng is good-looking, his acting skills are very average. Therefore, he encountered great difficulties in the later transformation, so his popularity declined severely.
coupled with growing older, idol dramas are no longer suitable for him, so Wang Dongcheng gradually disappeared from the audience's vision.
In the past two years, Wang Dongcheng has been able to act in some unknown TV series. Even so, his acting skills are still constantly criticized by the audience. After all, the era when he didn't look at acting skills but only looked at his face is gone forever.
In fact, it is not just Wang Dongcheng, but the four teenagers of the "Fatrix Sea" have become old uncles and their popularity is no longer the same as before. Now they have become marginal figures in the entertainment industry, which is a pity.
A closer observation will reveal that the reason why these four people went from "too many people praised it to no one knows" is simply because the transformation was not timely and the work was powerless, so they gradually lost the support of the audience.
. Zheng Yuanchang
In 2003, Zheng Yuanchang starred in his first TV series " Rose Love ", thus officially entering the entertainment industry.
Two years later, he became a hit with "The Kiss of a Prank" co-starring with Ariel Lin . To this day, this drama is still the sweetest idol drama in the hearts of many girls.
In the drama, Zheng Yuanchang plays " Jiang Zhishu " with high appearance and high IQ. In addition to being a bit natural, he can be called a perfect boyfriend. After the drama
was aired, a "straight tree" wind was blowing everywhere, and Zheng Yuanchang also became popular on both sides of the Taiwan Strait and the three regions. After
, he has successively starred in works such as " Gengzi Fengyun " and " Passionate Midsummer ", and his popularity has gradually reached a peak.
However, at the peak of his career, he resolutely chose to serve in the military. This is undoubtedly the biggest challenge for popular actors. If you are not careful, you will be abandoned by the entertainment industry.
As expected, after Zheng Yuanchang returned from serving, the environment in the circle changed drastically, and the craze for idol dramas has passed. Since then, Zheng Yuanchang has never been able to create a character as deeply rooted in the hearts of "Jiang Naoki", and has gradually become an outdated male star.
In the past two years, Zheng Yuanchang has rarely published works. However, he has always maintained a low-key attitude towards life and never hype or spread rumors, which is very commendable.
. Li William
In 2001, Li William participated in the Mr. World model competition and won the overall role championship and the best body award, thus officially entering the entertainment industry.
In 2004, William Li starred in his first TV series "The Wedding Dress of Heaven", which attracted widespread attention. In the years following
, he has successively starred in works such as " Green Light Forest " and " Sheep Star ", which has won the love of many fans.
Among many idol drama male stars, William Li may not be the most outstanding in appearance, but his acting skills are definitely one of the best.
Moreover, William Li has been working very hard since his debut, and has no complaints in terms of appearance or character.
But people will grow up. As time goes by, William Li has also reached the age of getting married and having children.
In 2014, William Li registered to marry his girlfriend who had been dating for 8 years, and their daughter was born a year later. After his daughter was born, William Li gradually faded out of the entertainment industry in order to leave more time for his wife and daughter.
Some time ago, William Li posted a photo of himself, his daughter and mother on social platforms. In the photo, the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren hold hands, looking very warm and harmonious.
, Qiu Ze
In 2001, Qiu Ze entered the entertainment industry for starring in the TV series " Stars in the Snow ".
However, in the following years, Qiu Ze has been active as a singer. He has successively released three albums: "Qiu Ze", "Don't Understand" and "Remember All Memory Selection".
In 2008, Qiu Ze returned to the entertainment industry and starred in works such as "Invincible Coral" and "The Good Times Are Like a Dream". With these works, Qiu Ze quickly became famous and soon became an idol male god.
However, at this time Qiu Ze made the same choice as Zheng Yuanchang - joining the army and not officially returning until 2011. After the return of
, Qiu Ze's resources were pretty good. He filmed a series of idol dramas such as " Xia Family Three Thousand Gold " and " Love Wakes Up ", and his popularity has also rebounded.
However, the wave of idol dramas is on the verge of end, so Qiu Ze had to make a transformation at the right time. In the years that followed, Qiu Ze's works were quite large, but few of them were truly well-known.
Qiu Ze has also tried different types of works, including costume dramas, emotional dramas, and even works of same-sex themes, but the response is still mediocre.
Today, Qiu Ze is still active in the entertainment industry. Although he lives better than the previous ones, he has also declined a lot compared to his peak period.
. Guo Pinchao
996, 19-year-old Guo Pinchao began to work as a model. In 2000, Guo Pinchao was discovered by star scout with his outstanding appearance, and played a guest role in the TV series " Spicy Fresh Master ", thus officially entering the entertainment industry. In the years after
, Guo Pinchao starred in TV series such as " Hot College Student " and "Fei Fei and Dance" as a supporting role.
In 2004, a movie " Douyu " was released, and it quickly occupied the Taiwan market in just a few months, and at the same time created a ratings record for Taiwanese idol dramas. With this work, Guo Pinchao has become popular across the Taiwan Strait and the Three Places.
It is said that when Guo Pinchao held a signing party, many fans lined up at four in the morning just to see Guo Pinchao's style, which shows how popular he was at that time.
Later, Guo Pinchao starred in works such as " White Robe Love " and "Knocking in Love with You". Guo Pinchao in the play is still handsome, but the clichéd idol drama scenes make the audience feel aesthetically tired.
Moreover, Guo Pinchao was almost the oldest among the male idols at that time. He has no advantage in all aspects and is definitely the first candidate to be eliminated.
In the past two years, Guo Pinchao has starred in several popular works, such as " Negotiator ", " Three Lives Three Worlds Pillow Book ", etc.
However, his acting skills have been criticized by netizens and he still cannot escape the fate of "making a living by relying on his face". But his face is becoming more and more "stiff" now. I wonder how many years he can last?
, Xu Shaoyang
In 2001, a Taiwanese idol drama called " Lavender " attracted the attention of many viewers as soon as it was broadcast. The male protagonist Xu Shaoyang has become an idol in the hearts of thousands of girls.
At that time, Xu Shaoyang was a well-deserved young man. His fashionable outfits, flowing long hair, and his super high appearance, his lethality to girls was directly exaggerated.
Taking advantage of this east wind, Xu Shaoyang collaborated with Zhang Shaohan in 2003 to " Dolphin Bay Lovers ", establishing his position as an "idol prince". Even back then, he was called the "Three Tigers of Taiwan" together with Jay Chou and Adu .
Originally, Xu Shaoyang had a bright future, but he ruined his bright future due to his personal style.
In July 2003, Xu Shaoyang was exposed to intervening in the relationship between Lin Weijun and Lin Youwei . When facing media inquiry, Xu Shaoyang shamelessly said: We can't help it.
In addition to interfering in other people's feelings, Xu Shaoyang also had conflicts with many actresses, and even fought with actors who played supporting roles in the crew.
During that time, Xu Shaoyang kept in black information, and the brokerage company could not withstand the pressure of public opinion from the outside world, so he chose to hide Xu Shaoyang.
Seeing that his career began to decline, Xu Shaoyang also took the attitude of "a broken can and gave up" and began to miss bars, nightclubs and other places, drinking to relieve his sorrows every day.
Nowadays, Xu Shaoyang's acting career has basically stagnated. In order to make a living, he had to join the ranks of live streaming sales, but his popularity was undoubtedly a very different difference compared to before.
, Wu Jianhua
In 2002, Wallace Huo successfully entered the entertainment industry with a movie "Picking Stars". Two years later, Wallace Huo came to the mainland to develop and filmed works such as "The No. 1 in the World", "The Three Heroes of the Wind and Dust", and "Subway".
Although he has performed a lot of works, Wallace Huo failed to become popular. It was not until 2009 that he played "Xu Changqing" in "HTM1 Legend of Sword and Fairy 3 " that he became famous.
Since then, Wallace Huo successfully joined the ranks of first-tier male stars and has starred in popular TV series such as " Smiling Proud Wanderer ", " Flowers and Thousand Bones ", and its popularity has also soared.
Because he has a good relationship with Hu Ge , the two have always been called "old cadre duo" by netizens. However, Hu Ge's reputation is as good as ever, but Huo Jianhua has disappeared. Why is that?
In general, there are about two reasons. On the one hand, it is Wallace Huo's acting skills problem. In " Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace " and " is around the winter ", Wallace Huo's acting skills have been criticized.
On the other hand, he is burdened by marriage. Ruby Lin has a lot of black information, and fans have no good impression of Ruby Lin, which naturally affects Wallace Huo.
Therefore, Wallace Huo, who was middle-aged, dropped his popularity sharply. In addition, he had no acting skills and was soon eliminated by the entertainment industry.
0, Li Wei
000, Li Wei and Lin Youwei formed a WeWe group, signed a contract with Art Box Password, and then began to take on advertisements and star in multiple MVs, thus entering the entertainment industry. In the years since
, Li Wei has developed quite well, and has successively starred in works such as "Angel Boy", " Toast Men's Kiss ", and "Youth Six People". During this period, Li Wei also collaborated with Zhao Wei and others in the mainland to a TV series "The God of Cars".
Generally speaking, during that period, Li Wei wanted to be good-looking and have acting skills, and was considered a very outstanding male star in an idol drama. Moreover, Li Wei can also feel his love for performance.
However, with the decline of idol dramas, Li Wei had to be forced to transform, but his popularity was not as good as before. After 2017, Li Wei completely disappeared from the entertainment industry.
Now, Li Wei has changed his career to start an antique business. It is said that a set of tea sets costs hundreds of thousands of yuan. If someone really buys them, he doesn’t have to worry about his livelihood.
Although idol dramas have declined, countless boys and girls were crazy about it more than ten years ago, and these ten Taiwanese male stars can also be regarded as the youthful memories of a generation.
The idol male gods who were once glorious are now mixed up like this, which is really sad. Looking around, these male gods are all relying on their old capital and each one is powerless, so they have fallen to where they are today.
So, the actors want to be remembered by the audience for a long time, and they can only produce powerful works, otherwise they will be forgotten sooner or later.
