Whenever this familiar melody rings out, there must be a lot of people in the 80's and 90's who will recall a serial called "Little Dragon Man".
This is a year-long children's drama and the first mythological children's drama in China.
The story is also very simple: the little dragon man is looking for his mom.
But this simple story is set in an extremely vast land.
For the TV series to work well, the crew shot on location.
The TV shows extremely beautiful landscapes of mountains and rivers.
It was in this production that many children were first impressed by the snowy mountains and the Yellow River.
The movie was a big hit at the time.
But surprisingly, the acting career of several of the children in the movie didn't go well.
01,
A few of the little friends in the film are the little dragon man, baby, Bei Bei and Qi Qi.
Baby's character is called Jiang Yizhen
Baby is the backbone of everyone in the drama, no matter what things are extraordinarily calm.
The director went to Shuguang Elementary School in Beijing to cast the actor, and he spotted Jiang Yizhen, who then became the baby of the dragons.
Like the baby in the movie, Jiang Yizhen's grades were so good that he didn't stay in the entertainment industry after filming the movie, but went back to school and hasn't been back since.
After growing up, some say he went to Australia to study at the University of Wollongong.
It was also said that he majored in computer science at the local printing college.
But wherever he studied and furthered his education, he lived a good life, and in 2012, at the age of 30, he got married.
And now lives a happy, uneventful life.
Beibei Chen Chen
Beibei was born into an artistic family, and his parents were both employees of Bayi Studio.
Chen Chen has been interested and talented in acting since he was a child, and before he made Little Dragon Man, he had already made a movie called Kiss My Teacher.
The director was very optimistic about Chen Chen's artistic talent, plus his chubby image was a perfect match for Beibei in the movie, so he became Beibei.
In the movie, the character of Beibei is naive and mischievous, and Chen Chen's fleshy face and temperament were very much in line with the character.
After Little Dragon Man, Chen Chen didn't specialize in acting, but he did act in a number of films.
Such as "Golden Monkey Squad", and the two series of "Huang Feihong".
In 2018's Huang Feihong's North and South Heroes, he played Porky Wing.
He played the same role in the same series, In the Sea of Fury.
Overall, Chen Chen's career is not centered on acting, but he does act occasionally because he loves it.
Qiqi is played by Liu Tian
She was recognized by the director at the art school of the Children's Studio at the time.
Yanagida was born in 1987, and her appearance was particularly cute, which is why the director chose her for the movie.
After her role in Little Dragon Man, she became a bona fide child star.
She shot a lot of commercials for bubble gum, body wash, and more.
He has also acted in many movies and TV shows, including "Dancing Tide" with Chen Daoming.
Others include "Traceability" and "Double Barrel Telescope", all of which are noteworthy performances, and the stars are shining brightly.
But in the sixth grade, Yanagida decided to stand out in the entertainment industry.
Because of her excellent academic performance, she was guaranteed admission to Beijing's 14th Middle School, and after completing her high school education there, she enrolled in the NPC School of Journalism.
She then became a professional journalist and later resigned to change jobs.
She got married in 2015 and is now living happily.
Little Dragon Chan Ka-nam
Unlike her three pals, Chan Ka-nam is not completely out of the entertainment industry.
Chan's parents have been very attentive to his development.
When he was just three years old, his parents sent him to study at the Children's Film Studio, so it's no surprise that she was chosen to become a Little Dragon.
But by the time the filming was done, he hadn't been able to readjust to school life like the rest of his buddies.
Because of his long stint on the set, his habits and study schedule were already different from those of schoolchildren.
So, Chen Jia Nan is not able to study well in school like ordinary elementary school students.
Plus, many other directors would come to invite him to shoot a movie, so he was constantly switching between classes and shooting.
During this time, he also did a lot of filming, and because the acting was good and the invitations kept coming, he kept making filming his main job, when he was just a kid in his late teens.
At the height of his popularity, he was even invited to CCTV's "Tangram" and "Open Sesame".
But at the age of 14, he still had to go back to school.
Possibly because of his previous experiences, Chen Jia Nan didn't study hard after he returned to school, and he was always eager to perform.
After graduating from high school, instead of continuing his studies, he started a business with his friends.
For example, the beverage agent, but the business is not good, he did not achieve anything, so he found a master to start practicing martial arts.
At that time, he was less than 20 years old.
Because some of the bottom, there are young and willing to practice, in the master's help he progressed very quickly.
Then, by chance, he met Sammo Hung, who admired him and invited him to join the Hung Garage Class and become a martial arts instructor.
On top of that, he started a band and would often organize performances.
As he grew older, Chan Ka Nam accumulated more and more, and he opened his own cultural company.
He's not famous now, but he's doing well on his own.
Yu Qian is a drag queen in the show.
Not only is he a dragon-set in this drama, but Yu Qian has been a dragon-set in many other works.
Yu Qian, who is now over 100 years old, was still a young man at the time and had not yet met his current daughter-in-law.
After filming this work, Yu Qian entered the film and television college class.
Because no one listened to his comedy, he graduated in 1995 and continued to run the show in TV dramas, as well as working as a program host and choreographer for a number of TV stations.
But he had a good mindset and thought it would be a good idea to have some fun.
After two years of this, in 1997, he met Guo Degang.
After knowing each other for a few years, in 2000, he and Guo performed "Shackling Dolls", which achieved unexpected success.
In 2004 he joined the De Yun Society.
After this, he and Guo Degang ups and downs, the two always never leave, to now come all the way to more than 20 years, he has become the "queen" of De Yunshe.
This TV series was also at that time because of some things, had been suspended.
Because the storage medium for television was still film, the show's film was badly damaged due to improper storage, causing serious damage to the quality of the picture.
So much so that it's almost impossible to rebroadcast the show.
Those who saw it back then are basically out of print.
Plus, most of the stars of the show have chosen to leave the entertainment industry, so it's all the more saddening to think about.
But Ning Wentong, who played Qiqi's father in the movie, is still active in the entertainment industry.
He can also be seen in many movie and television productions, which is kind of a comfort to everyone.
Do you remember this work?
