Dreams of the Fragrant River

"When I learned that Qiuguan was in the Phoenix drama "The Great Era", I always preconceived that he was the male protagonist and still the Chu Xiangshuai who stayed on the moon. But when I watched more than 30 episodes of "The Great Era" , the only thing left in my heart is the shock to the role of Ding Crab and the admiration for Zheng Shaoqiu's acting skills.

There have been all kinds of villains in Hong Kong dramas, some are heinous, some are deceiving the good and fear the evil, but this is the first time I have seen a bad guy like Dante Crab. His wickedness, his wickedness, and his ruthlessness can make you want to slap you with rage, but he is still plausible, and he believes from the bottom of his heart that everything he has done is right.

Ding Crab is like a lunatic, stubbornly insisting on his own opinion, insisting on his false truth that turns black and white. As soon as he spoke in the play, the audience sitting in front of the TV wanted to laugh because it seemed like they were listening to someone talking in their sleep.

Such a special character that is both normal and abnormal, neither a good person nor a simple bad person, comes from Kang Jianfei's writing, and then becomes alive through Zheng Shaoqiu's performance.

When I watched Qiuguan's episodes before, I thought he would only dress up and be handsome. Now Qiuguan's performance has finally convinced me, he perfectly interprets the strange and eccentric character of Ding Crab, and he plays it vividly and penetratingly..."

"Since the broadcast of "The Great Times", the audience initially thought that Luo Huiling played by Lan Jieying was the heroine, and when Zhou Huimin played Ruan Mei, everyone thought that Ruan Mei might be the female lead. Long Jiwen played by Zhou Haimei After the number of scenes increased, the audience finally couldn't figure out: who is the real heroine?

Including Fang Ting played by Li Lizhen, the important female characters who appeared in "The Big Era" have their own unique personalities, and they are not like other TV dramas.

If I really want to choose a heroine, then the author's favorite is Luo Huiling.

The only thing that made me cry in the whole drama was the scene where Luo Huiling died, in the bubbles all over the sky. Lan Jieying staggered towards the ring that imprisoned her body and mind. The mere 20 yuan ring carried all her love and strength. The background music sounded, and she died silently in the arms of the son of the person she loved the most. I left, I finally left, the beauty that I couldn't keep..."

"Fang Jinxin used his life and freedom to fight to the death against the greedy Chen Wanxian, even if there is only a 20% probability, he would dare to lose his life.

Fate gave him a high tide, he won, it was so dangerous, and it was a near death.

Then another inexplicable huge wave, in the blink of an eye. Shoot him to death on the beach.

How is the stock market all-powerful, how is the former chairman of the Chinese Association, he is stupid when his friends beat him, he is stupid, and his intelligence is not as good as that of a 10-year-old child. In the big waves of the times, it is just a drop in the ocean, and the many encounters are life.

But he couldn't tie his shoelaces, he couldn't hold his chopsticks firmly, and he couldn't remember the way home, but he still had a sacred sense of responsibility. When he knelt on the ground for a job of distributing newspapers, he begged bitterly: give me a chance. Boss, give me a chance. My brain has been broken... I'm stupid, my girlfriend follows me, I have no name and no share, and I have to raise four children, I'm useless. But I have a family to support. Please, give me a chance... The boss didn't say a word, he took out the wages again tremblingly and said: I didn't do well today, I don't need the wages. Do well tomorrow, give tomorrow.

What is kindness?

He is stupid. He was so stupid that he struggled to do even the simple job of distributing newspapers, but he didn't give up on himself, and he didn't complain about God's injustice all day long. It's not that he doesn't remember the past, he doesn't remember that he was very capable, but he still remembers to shoulder the responsibilities of his father and boyfriend. Is this God's blessing, or is love deeply ingrained in the consciousness of this superb man.

Huiling, he is indeed a man worthy of his life. "

On the night of the finale of "The Great Times", Hong Kong seemed to have become a ghost town. Even the prosperous roads on Hong Kong Island were sparsely populated. The attendance rate of all major theaters that night was less than 20%, because most of the Hong Kong people returned home. Home or in the store to watch TV.

Immediately, statistics show that the highest viewership rate at the finale of "The Great Era" is 93%. As for TVB's TV series during the same period, almost no one has watched it.

93% ratings may seem exaggerated, but the highest rating of the original 83 version of "The Condor" was 99%, and the highest rating of the 1977 TVB drama "Home Change" was 95%.

The version of "Big Times" currently broadcast on Phoenix TV was launched a few months after the Hong Kong stock market crash. The production and publicity costs are much higher than the original version, both in terms of the quality of the episodes and the timing of the broadcast. Go up one floor. Under the interaction of various factors, the phoenix drama "The Great Era" finally increased from more than 50 points when the first episode was broadcast, all the way to 93% at the finale, creating another Hong Kong drama ratings myth, more than Kang Jianfei In that time and space, the ratings are much better.

A TV drama is so popular that all the news about it can become news. Even the romances of the supporting actors who play Ding Crab's son have become the topic of coverage in entertainment magazines.

Li Bihua, a well-known female writer who rarely writes film and television reviews, was also invited by the Oriental Daily to write a character chronicle for "The Great Times" in her column every day, which has won unanimous praise from readers.

A week before the broadcast of "The Great Era", Fengxing Records released the original soundtrack "Laughing at the Wind and Clouds" of "The Great Era", which contains a total of eight titles, including four of the opening, ending and interludes of "The Great Era". "Created" by Kang Jianfei himself.

The original theme songs of "The Great Era", "The Ruthless Years" and "My Life, My Love", are still in their original opening and ending positions, while another Cantonese song "Laughing at the Wind and Cloud" was brought by Kang Jianfei as an episode. , the three songs were sung by Zheng Shaoqiu and Zhang Guorong.

The Phoenix version of "The Great Times" not only has changes in music, but also in the plot, which has increased from 40 episodes in the original version to 42 episodes. The main reason is that the ending of the original version of "The Great Era" is too sloppy, which has become a flaw that has been criticized. With the efforts of Kang Jianfei and many screenwriters, the ending of this version of "The Great Era" is more tortuous and exciting. Fang Zhanbo, played by Liu Qingyun, passed the His own wisdom and talent defeated Ding Crab, instead of pinning his hopes on luck and financial predators like the original.

...

In Hong Kong's Tsan Yuk Hospital, dozens of reporters were stopped by nurses and looked inside from time to time on tiptoe. Suddenly two cars drove up. After the reporters recognized that the car in front was Liu Songren's car, they frantically surrounded him.

Liu Songren had to get out of the car and explain a few words to the reporter, followed by Liu Qingyun and Yin Tianzhao.

In the drama "The Great Era", Liu Songren and Liu Qingyun played the Fang family father and son, while Yin Tianzhao played the eldest son of Zheng Shaoqiu. The four of them have been filming together for a few months, and they get along well with each other. Zheng Shaoqiu's wife, Fei Fei, just gave birth to a baby boy. Naturally, they will come to the hospital to congratulate their friends on their happy son, and they will get together in the evening. Have a meal to celebrate.

At this time, Kang Jianfei was still in the mainland and had yet to return. If he knew that Shen Dianxia gave birth to a son, he would definitely be shocked. Even the gender of the offspring has changed.

"Yunzai, what stage has the relationship between you and Lan Jieying reached, and have you met both parents?"

"Amaterasu, I heard that you just received a new drama, can you give me some news?"

"Brother Ren, there are rumors that you are going to enter the big screen. Which company's film is it?"

"..."

The reporters usually throw out machine guns one by one. Although Liu Songren and Yin Tianzhao are supporting roles in the play, the characters they play are very charismatic characters, and they are also loved by many audiences. Therefore, the target of reporters' interviews is not the same. It did not focus on Liu Qingyun alone.

Whether it is Liu Songren or Yin Tianzhao, they are both seniors to Liu Qingyun, although the latter entered the industry around the same time as him.

Liu Qingyun, who just became popular, was very modest, and gave Liu Songren and Yin Tianzhao all the opportunities to answer questions to show off. He just smirked at the camera there.

After struggling with reporters for a few minutes, the three of them finally squeezed into the hospital.

"congratulations!"

After seeing Zheng Shaoqiu and his wife, the three clasped their fists in congratulations.

The child has been born for three days. They have come to visit once before. This time, they are here to pick up Zheng Shaoqiu's family of three and leave the hospital.

Shen Dianxia sat up and chatted with a few of them, while Zheng Shaoqiu went to go through the formalities and prepare to be discharged from the hospital. The meal was eaten at Zheng Shaoqiu's house tonight.

"Daiwei, Aying and the others are all coming?" Zheng Shaoqiu asked after returning from the formalities~www.wuxiaspot.com~ He is proud of the spring breeze now, not only erasing the negative impact of extramarital affairs, but also adding A big fat boy.

"Daiwei, Azhen, and Amin are all coming," Liu Qingyun said, and paused, "Aying is in a bit of a situation."

"What's wrong with her?" Zheng Shaoqiu asked with a smile, because Lan Jieying was often in trouble when she was filming "The Big Time", so Zheng Shaoqiu was not worried.

Liu Songren sighed: "She is too deep into the play, and she can't come out in a short time."

The smile on Zheng Shaoqiu's face also disappeared, and he said, "This is trouble, has she seen a psychiatrist?"

Yin Tianzhao shook his head and said, "We all persuaded her. She said that she was not sick and insisted that she would not go. Now some of our best friends go to enlighten her every day, so I don't know if it will work."

Luo Huiling, played by Lan Jieying, is a tragic character from beginning to end, but Lan Jieying is performing in a method, and in the end she confuses herself with the character. Now that "The Big Time" has been completed for more than three months, Lan Jieying has not yet come out of the shadow of the character, and the whole person has become more melancholy and sensitive than before.
