Today's news briefing includes the following.

CCTV officially announces "My Life and My Destiny"!

Starring Tan Songyun, a female urban entrepreneurship drama—definitely worth watching.

Remember the year "The Best of Us" premiered?

That campus drama that accompanied countless people's youth—it's almost ten years now.

The then "Geng Geng" and "Beta" weren't just on-screen besties,

but also a symbol of friendship in many girls' hearts.

Now, time flies, and Tan Songyun and Dong Qing, this pair of "youth besties,"

finally reunite after years apart. This time, with more mature roles,

they'll continue their bond in the new drama "My Life and My Destiny."

Unlike the innocence and naivety back then, this time,

they'll guide viewers through a thirty-year-spanning female entrepreneurship legend.

CCTV has officially confirmed "My Life and My Destiny" on the 2025 key drama lineup,

and the news sent social media platforms into an instant frenzy.

Netizens are buzzing: "The cast alone makes it a must-watch—all reliable actors, plot super solid!"

"From 'Geng Geng' to 'Fang Wanzhi': Tan Songyun's journey from girl to empowered woman"

Tan Songyun plays "Fang Wanzhi" in the drama,

a woman with a turbulent fate who never surrenders to destiny.

Born in the "Shenxianding" mountains of Guizhou, abandoned by her parents for being a girl,

she starts life with a harsh scar from the beginning.

Luckily, adopted by a nursing school principal, she gets her shot at education.

But the storms of fate never let up.

Just as she thinks she can finally change her life through hard work,

in college she faces a triple blow: her adoptive mother's death, her identity revealed, and a lover's betrayal.

In that moment, Fang Wanzhi seems pushed to the bottom by fate.

But right then, she makes a fateful choice—quit school and head south to Shenzhen.

That year was the wave of the 90s,

tens of thousands of young people just like her packed their dreams to factories in the south, waiting for a chance.

Fang Wanzhi couldn't even get through the factory doors at first, just working as a helper in a restaurant.

Endless dishes to wash, grimy stoves to scrub—it was her toughest starting point.

But she didn't quit.

She always said: "I can't choose my fate, but I can choose how valuable that fate is."

From kitchen helper to line worker, from street vendor to entrepreneur, Fang Wanzhi, over thirty years,

fought her own destined path with her bare hands.

To nail the role, Tan Songyun reportedly went nearly makeup-free on set.

She plays a character from 20-year-old student to 50-year-old businesswoman, looks evolving from a girl with pigtails to a sharp bob,

with the marks of time naturally showing on her face.

The director shared: "Tan Songyun's crying scenes aren't about technique—they're from true empathy.

Her 'I must live for myself' vibe is genuinely inspiring."

"Reliable" lead actor Gao Zhiting: One photo made him famous

Talking about the lead man Gao Zhiting, he's truly a "charismatic actor."

He went viral last year from a cooking photo in "Small Town Stories"—black T-shirt, buzz cut,

bustling in the kitchen, making netizens call him "so reliable" "Living with him might be tough,

but he'd never let you struggle."

In "My Life and My Destiny," Gao Zhiting plays "Gao Xiang," Fang Wanzhi's lifelong confidant.

He's not her lover, but her key partner, friend, and mental rock.

They build a business together, endure the roughest times side by side.

He gets her stubborn side and respects her independence.

Gao Xiang's like that quiet light in life that keeps shining without fuss.

In one scene, Fang Wanzhi's in the warehouse, falsely accused of stealing by a client, blamed by all the workers—she holds it in for a full minute,

then finally breaks down in tears.

Gao Xiang doesn't comfort or advise, just hands her a water bottle calmly: "Cry it out, then get back to work."

This scene is hailed by many viewers as the most real take on entrepreneurship.

Dong Qing back in the besties squad: From "Beta" to "Li Juan," friendship still strong

In "The Best of Us," Dong Qing's "Beta" is naive and direct, Geng Geng's warmest pal.

In "My Life and My Destiny," she becomes the ever-loyal "Li Juan"—the mantra "When you're out there,

you've got to look out for each other" defines her and Fang Wanzhi's whole business journey.

From helping each other on the line as "work sisters" at first, to co-running a brand as partners later,

Li Juan and Fang Wanzhi's bond is the drama's heart and soul.

They've bickered and split, but in the end, stick together moving forward.

One touching segment: early in the business, the factory gets shut down,

and Fang Wanzhi is saddled with massive debt overnight.

Li Juan pulls out her life savings and says: "You're not fighting this alone. We're in it together."

That moment left viewers in tears.

Netizen reviews: "This isn't just a biz drama—it's the ultimate answer on female friendship."

"Realism focus: From the 'migrant worker wave' to 'IPO dreams'—Chinese grit at its core"

"My Life and My Destiny" got picked by CCTV not just for the star power,

but mainly because it tells **the untold story of ordinary Chinese women's struggles**.

Unlike the fake shine of "heels and high-rises" in past city dramas,

this one shows the real lives of 90s female workers authentically.

The crew scouted locations in Shenzhen, Dongguan, Huizhou, recreating old industrial lines,

dorms, night class rooms.

Actors on set said, "It's like stepping back into that tough but hopeful time."

The producer in an interview: "We didn't want faux struggle,

we aimed for real-life feel—greasy dishes, worn-out shoes,

late-night streetlights, faces chasing success."

This drama isn't just feel-good entrepreneurship; it's a tribute to those women's "fate-changing" stories.

"Veteran talent onboard: Wang Jinsong, Liu Wei, Tong Lei anchor the scene"

Beyond the young stars stealing the show, "My Life and My Destiny"'s supporting cast is "gold standard."

Wang Jinsong plays "Liu Yongchang," an early reform-era factory manager,

acting as both mentor and rival to Fang Wanzhi.

His memorable line: "The boss's first lesson? Learn not to fear going broke."

Liu Wei is the adoptive dad "Fang Jiangguo," a classic old-school Chinese father.

He struggles to show affection, but after Fang Wanzhi leaves, quietly sends her money every year.

When they reunite years later, his "Dad never blamed you, just couldn't face you" brought many to tears.

Tong Lei plays Fang Wanzhi's business rival-turned-odd-ally "Lin Xiaofei,"

a quintessential modern woman archetype.

Sharp, calm, decisive—she contrasts Fang Wanzhi perfectly.

Their late-game team-up against a takeover is a major highlight.

"Empowerment awakening: She rises not by leaning on others, but by her own strength"

What hits hardest isn't just Fang Wanzhi's success, but her guts to "build her own path."

No "Prince Charming rescues," no "easy hacks"—just real repeat failures,

and keeping getting up.

This line went viral online:

"My life has no leading man; I'm my own star."

It became the drama's core message.

The director says, "My Life and My Destiny" uses one woman's story

to tell more people: "Life's unfair sometimes, but you can choose not to quit."

"Buzz building: CCTV stamp means reviews sizzling pre-air"

Since CCTV listed "My Life and My Destiny" as a must-watch,

related topics on Weibo have topped 300 million views.

Netizens are commenting:

*"Tan Songyun just says 'trust'—I'll watch whatever she does.

*"Finally, a woman-led show not built on romance!

*"Seeing Dong Qing and Tan Songyun back together brings my youth back.

*"Industry folks are calling it CCTV's potential 2025 realistic hit."

"Real-life parallels: Tan Songyun's own journey in the drama"

For Tan Songyun personally, "My Life and My Destiny" is like life in the mirror.

From Chu Ner in "The Legend of Zhen Huan," to Geng Geng in "The Best of Us," to Li Jianjian in "In the Name of Family,"

her career path mirrors the same growth from young to seasoned.

Once doubted to "only play teens," she shattered that with every role.

Fang Wanzhi now represents her career peak of self-overcoming.

She said in an interview: "Fang and I are alike—girls who fall hard but never stop."

"Final thoughts: Fate isn't set—it's what you make it"

"My Life and My Destiny" isn't about miracles; it's how ordinary folks,

make a beautiful life from imperfect paths."

It honors that wave of workers, hustlers, moms, daughters,

sweat by sweat rewriting their stories.

Like Fang Wanzhi concludes:

"I didn't pick my fate—I chose not to lose.

" It's a show that'll make you laugh, cry, and find new drive.

When it drops, anyone who's ever pushed through tough times

will spot themselves in Fang Wanzhi.

Ending bonus:

I'm super pumped to see Tan Songyun turn a lousy hand into a royal flush in the show!

Counting down for "My Life and My Destiny"—let's witness together

how one woman rewrites her destiny on her own terms.

我们今天的时事通讯包括以下内容。

央视官宣《我和我的命》！

谭松韵领衔，女性都市创业剧，一定要追

还记得《最好的我们》开播那年吗？

那部陪伴无数人青春的校园剧，如今竟然已经快十年了。

那时的“耿耿”和“贝塔”，不仅是荧幕上的闺蜜，

更是许多女孩心中友情的缩影。

而如今，时光流转，谭松韵与董晴这对“青春闺蜜”，

终于在时隔多年后携手回归，这一次，她们将以更成熟的身份，

在新剧《我和我的命》中再续前缘。

不同于当年的青涩与懵懂，这一次，

她们将带领观众走进一段横跨三十年的女性创业传奇。

央视官方已经正式官宣，《我和我的命》入选2025年度重点剧目片单，

消息一出，社交平台瞬间沸腾。

网友们直呼：“光是看阵容就想追，全员踏实派，剧情稳得一批！

” 从《耿耿》到《方婉之》：谭松韵完成从少女到女性力量的转变

谭松韵在剧中饰演的“方婉之”，

是一个命运多舛却始终不向命运低头的女性角色。

她出生在贵州山区的“神仙顶”，因为是女孩被父母遗弃，

从人生起点就带着残酷的印记。

幸好，她被护士学校的校长收养，才有了读书的机会。

然而，命运的风浪从未停止。

就在她以为自己终于能凭借努力改变人生时，

大学时期的她接连遭遇了“养母去世”“身世揭露”“恋人背叛”的三重打击。

那一刻，方婉之似乎被命运推入了最深的谷底。

但也正是在这个节点，她做出了改变一生的决定——退学，南下深圳。

那一年，是九十年代的浪潮，

成千上万像她一样的年轻人背着梦想来到南方的工厂，等待着一线生机。

方婉之最初甚至连工厂门都进不去，只能在餐馆做帮厨。

洗不完的碗，擦不净的灶台，是她人生最辛苦的起点。

可她没有放弃。

她总说一句话：“我不能选择命，但我能选择命有多值钱。

” 从帮厨到流水线工人，从小摊贩到创业者，方婉之用三十年时间，

靠双手拼出了属于自己的命。

谭松韵为了演好这个角色，据说在剧组拍摄时几乎“零妆上镜”。

她从二十岁的学生演到五十岁的企业家，造型从马尾少女到干练短发，

岁月的痕迹在她脸上自然流露。

导演透露：“谭松韵演哭戏不靠技巧，靠共情。

她那种‘我一定要活出自己’的信念感，真的是打动人心。

” “踏实感”男主高至霆：一张剧照让他“出圈”

要说这部剧的男主高至霆，也真是个“气质型演员”。

他去年因为《小城故事多》的一张做饭剧照火遍全网——黑T恤、板寸头、

在厨房忙碌的背影，让无数网友直呼“有安全感”“跟他过日子一定不容易，

但他一定不会让你吃苦”。

在《我和我的命》中，高至霆饰演的“高翔”是方婉之生命中的蓝颜知己。

他不是她的恋人，却是她一生最重要的合伙人、朋友、精神支柱。

两人一起创业，一起挨过最艰难的岁月。

他懂她的倔强，也尊重她的独立。

高翔的存在，就像生活里那束不喧哗却一直照亮的光。

有一幕戏，方婉之在仓库被客户误会偷货，被所有工人指责，她忍了整整一分钟，

终于泪崩。

高翔没有安慰，也没有劝她，而是静静地递给她一瓶水，说：“哭完，接着干。

” 这一幕，被许多观众形容为“最真实的创业写照”。

董晴回归闺蜜档：从“贝塔”到“李娟”，友情依旧热烈

《最好的我们》中，董晴饰演的“贝塔”天真率直，是耿耿最温暖的朋友。

而在《我和我的命》里，她变成了那个永远仗义的“李娟”——一句“出门在外，

就要互相关照”，贯穿了她和方婉之的整个创业生涯。

从最初在流水线互帮互助的“打工姐妹”，到后期共同经营品牌的创业搭档，

李娟与方婉之的关系，是整部剧的灵魂。

她们有过争吵、有过决裂，但最终依然选择并肩前行。

剧中有一段非常感人的桥段：创业初期，厂房被查封，

方婉之一夜之间背上巨额债务。

李娟拿出全部积蓄，说了一句：“你不是一个人打仗，我们是一条命。

” 那一刻，观众都泪目。

网友评论说：“这部剧不仅是创业剧，更是女性友情的成人答卷。

” 现实主义基调：从“打工潮”到“上市梦”的中国式奋斗

《我和我的命》之所以被央视选中，除了演员阵容强大，

更重要的是——它讲述的是**属于普通中国女性的奋斗史**。

不同于以往的都市剧里“高跟鞋+大公司”的虚假光鲜，

这部剧真实展现了九十年代女性打工人的生活。

剧组为此实地取景深圳、东莞、惠州等地，在老工业区还原了当年的流水线、

宿舍、夜校教室。

演员们在现场拍摄时都说“仿佛真的回到了那个艰难却充满希望的时代”。

制片人接受采访时说：“我们不想拍‘假奋斗’，

我们要让观众看到真实的生活质感——手上油腻的碗、脚上磨破的鞋、

深夜的路灯，还有一张张想要出头的脸。

” 这部剧不仅是创业励志剧，更是对那一代女性“改变命运”的群像致敬。

老戏骨加盟：王劲松、刘威、童蕾稳住剧场格局

除了年轻演员的出彩表现，《我和我的命》的配角阵容堪称“黄金配置”。

王劲松饰演的“刘永昌”是一位改革开放初期的国企厂长，

对方婉之既是伯乐又是挑战者。

他那句台词“做老板的第一课，是先学会不害怕倒闭”令人印象深刻。

刘威饰演养父“方建国”，一个典型的传统中国父亲角色。

他不懂得表达爱，却在方婉之离家后每年都默默给她寄钱。

多年后父女重逢时，那句“爸从没怪你，只是没脸去找你”让无数观众泪崩。

童蕾饰演的是方婉之在商场上的竞争对手兼亦敌亦友的“林晓菲”，

一个典型的新时代女性形象。

她理性、冷静、果断，与方婉之形成鲜明对照。

两人后期联手应对资本收购的剧情，更是全剧的高潮之一。

女性力量觉醒：她不是靠谁崛起，而是靠自己

这部剧最打动人的，不只是方婉之的成功，而是她“自己成全自己”的勇气。

在剧中，她没有“霸总拯救”，没有“金手指外挂”，有的只是一次次失败、

一次次爬起来的真实过程。

有一段台词被网友疯狂转发：

“我的人生没有男主角，我就是自己的大主角。

” 这句话，成了全剧的灵魂。

导演表示，《我和我的命》希望通过一个普通女性的奋斗故事，

向更多观众传递信念：“命运有时候不公，但你可以决定不认输。

” 观众期待高涨：央视背书，口碑未播先热

自从央视宣布《我和我的命》进入重点播出名单以来，

相关话题在微博阅读量已经突破3亿次。

不少网友留言：

* “谭松韵一出现就有信任感，她拍什么我都追。

” * “终于有一部不是靠恋爱撑剧情的女性剧了！

” * “看到董晴和谭松韵重逢，我的青春又回来了。

” 业内人士更是直言，这部剧有望成为“央视2025年年度现实主义爆款”。

剧外故事：谭松韵的“命”，也在这部剧中

其实，《我和我的命》对谭松韵本人来说，也是一种人生映照。

从《甄嬛传》的淳儿，到《最好的我们》的耿耿，再到《以家人之名》的李尖尖，

她的演艺之路同样经历了从青涩到成熟的转变。

外界曾一度质疑她“只能演少女”，但她用一次又一次的角色打破了偏见。

而今的方婉之，正是她演员生涯的一次自我超越。

她在采访中说：“我和方婉之有点像，都是那种跌倒很多次，但从不放弃的女生。

” 结语：命运不是被安排的，而是被创造的

《我和我的命》不是一部讲奇迹的剧，它讲的是“普通人如何在不完美的命运里，

活得漂亮”。

它讲的是那一代打工妹、创业者、母亲、女儿，

用汗水一点点改写人生剧本的故事。

就像方婉之最后说的那句话：

“我没有选命，我选的是——不服输。

” 这是一部你看完会想笑、会想哭，也会重新燃起干劲的剧。

当它正式开播时，相信每一个曾经在生活中咬牙坚持过的人，

都会在方婉之的故事里，看到自己的影子。

结尾彩蛋：

我已经迫不及待地想看谭松韵如何在剧中，把那一手烂牌打成“王炸”了！

这部剧，我先蹲为敬——等《我和我的命》开播，我们一起见证，

一个女人如何靠自己改写人生的命。
