Whenever he had No matter what new move he makes, his senior brother will immediately send him flower baskets and blessings.

As an actor, many viewers know Wu Jianfei because of the live-action version of "Armor Warrior" in 2009. Although the plot and appearance of this drama seem a bit shocking now, when it was broadcast It is extremely popular and carries the childhood memories of countless viewers.
The male protagonist Xin Nan he played in "Armor Warriors" is the summoner of the Flame Dragon Armor, and is also the ceiling and captain of all armors.

The five armor summoners in the live-action version of "Armor Warriors" are composed of two generations of "Come on!" "Good Man" contestant *** also stars, Zhang Chao of the 2007 "Good Man" also played the role of Snow Mastiff Armor in this drama.
The Snow Mastiff Armor and the Yanlong Armor are the most popular among the five armors, but in terms of character, the Yanlong Armor is even better. Wu Jianfei’s Xin Nan is gentle and powerful, and makes people very happy.

In 2013, he collaborated with Yang Mi and Liu Kaiwei, and played the villain Mo Lingtian in the TV series "A Sunny Evening in the Midsummer". He was the least likable character in the whole show.
Mo Lingtian is the fiancé of the heroine Xia Wanqing, and he is also a Phoenix man. He comes from a humble background, but he is very business-minded. Therefore, he was attracted by the heroine's father and got engaged to Xia Wanqing. As a result, he was in vain. The appearance of Moonlight made him abandon Xia Wanqing, rekindled his old relationship with her, and did a lot of things that hurt the male and female protagonists. The words "gentle scum" are very appropriate to describe him, so in the end he was also Deserved punishment.
After "A Sunny Day in the Midsummer", he collaborated with Hawick Lau in the TV series "One Thought to the North", playing a pushy rich second generation who is also the half-brother of the male protagonist.
He also played Qi Wei, a warm man in the TV series "Love Is Back" starring Qi Wei. He fell in love with Bao Niannian, played by Mao Xiaotong, at first sight. Even though she was pregnant with someone else's child, he still had deep affection for her. Don't move.
Wu Jianfei also played Shangguan Ya, a villain who always opposes the male protagonist in "Fairy Sword and Cloud" starring Nazha.
After that, he took a break due to physical reasons, and his career never improved, so he gradually faded away, and news about him was rarely heard anymore.
Wu Jianfei is still active on the screen, but his resources are not as good as before. In the past two years, he has become a professional Internet user, starring in the online movies "Mulan", "South China Sea Mermaid" and "Yin Yang Town" Strange Stories", "Finding Gold in Longling", etc.
In 2018, he collaborated with Miao Miao and Aaron Kwok in the movie "The Secret of June". He also walked on the red carpet of Cannes with the leading actors. He played a rookie policeman in the movie. , but this work has not been launched yet.
In 2017, he also starred in the TV series "High Ambition" with Chen Qiaoen and Zheng Kai. This drama was also suppressed for 4 years and was not broadcast until last year. However, the reputation was very poor. He was in the drama He plays the positive and sunny Luo Dong, who also has a happy and fulfilling love.
Off-screen, Wu Jianfei has also quietly gotten married and become a father.
Last year, Wu Jianfei posted a photo with his son on a certain platform, officially announcing that he became a father. However, his son was already 5.6 years old when he made the official announcement, which should have been more than a year after he took a break. Born in , he has kept the news of getting married and becoming a father well hidden. It is reported that his wife is an outsider, and he has not disclosed her information.
But the 38-year-old Wu Jianfei is very well-maintained. Even if he is in his 20s, some people believe him. He doesn’t feel like a father even if he is in the same frame as his son. Moreover, he looks a bit like Liu Haoran, Jing Boran, etc. now.
In 2019, the top ten contestants of the 2006 "Come on Good Man" also gathered to attend the wedding of one of the contestants, Zhang Xiaochen. Ma Tianyu also attended that day, but he did not expect that he would get married and have a baby. Earlier than Zhang Xiaochen.
From the age of 23 to 38, Wu Jianfei has been in the industry for 15 years. He has experienced highs and lows, but he has always kept a low profile and worked hard in filming. His performance of the Flame Dragon Armor has become a classic and a childhood memory of the audience. Too many online dramas are draining for an actor. I hope to see more of his wonderful works on the screen in the future.
