As soon as the new drama "News Queen" produced by TVB was launched, it received widespread attention, especially many netizens praised it: "It's really good, such a workplace drama doesn't involve love!."This work also evoked many netizens' memories of the images of women in TVB's various workplace "dramas" many years ago, which established their original professional outlook and values
It's not an exaggeration to say this - because as we all know, there are often "strong women" in TVB-produced dramas, and many female characters in Hong Kong dramas are brave and real "career leaders".
They dare to love and hate, capable and confident, just like the current "News Queen", and also restore contemporary women's view of marriage and the workplace through a tough way.
Despite the cheesy intrigue in the play, the message is positive and powerful.
It also reminded many viewers of the various female images that TVB had created, such as the female reporter Gao Jie in "Criminal Investigation Files", as well as the female forensic doctor Nie Baoyan in "Forensic Records", and the female pilot Tong Xixin in "Rushing to the Clouds", ......Time flies, looking back, which heroine will you still be moved by?
In 1995, the "Criminal Investigation Files" series belonged to the criminal investigation crime works in Hong Kong dramas in the 90s, and the "Criminal Investigation Files" series, the "Forensic Records" series, and the "Sister Tuogun" series were all from this period
The heroines of this era all have a sassy image, they all walk with the wind, and they are not confined to petty love.
Guo Keying just debuted in this period, and soon after that, she became popular overnight with this momentum.
The female reporter Gao Jie, who she played in the criminal investigation drama "Criminal Investigation Files" series, is a young girl who aspires to become a police officer.
But because of her father's sacrifice, she was prevented from fulfilling her wish by her mother.
Therefore, Gao Jie was also suspicious of the police officer Zhang Dayong, and the two began to disdain each other, but finally came together.
Although the emotional plot collapsed a little in the later stage, Gao Jie in the first season is very in line with the characteristics of "Hong Kong girl": she is persistent, free and easy, and has always been stubborn in treating the case without revealing the truth.
Despite repeated dangerous situations, she never backed down.
In the face of feelings, she is also very sober and calm, and once bluntly said: "Love is only a small part of life." ”
Therefore, after discovering that her predecessor Jiang Yuxuan was cheating, she was able to stop losses in time.
The man has also proposed marriage many times, but Gao Jie is very firm and has never compromised because of her mother's urging to marry and other reasons, she has always focused on her career.
However, compared with Gao Jie's role, Guo Keying, who plays her, is not so free.
Because she was born in a wealthy family, the family runs a plastic business, and her father's assets exceed 10 billion.
But Guo Keying participated in the Miss Hong Kong competition after graduation and stepped into the entertainment industry.
With her excellent appearance, she easily became popular.
This relationship has always been questioned by the outside world, and Lin Wenlong is also nicknamed "Phoenix Man".
And after the two got married, Lin Wenlong was exposed to cheating with mainland actress Dong Weijia, and even used his wife's money to buy a house for Xiao San.
Although Guo Keying forgave her husband's cheating on the surface, she herself was not idle, and there was a scandal with Li Keqin because of filming.
But after they gave birth to their daughter in 2010, life became quieter.
After Guo Keying's father died the following year, she gradually faded out of the entertainment industry and returned to the family to take over the business.
In 1997, the female forensic doctor Nie Baoyan in "Forensic Records" was the "white moonlight" in the minds of many female viewers at that time
She made a deep impression when she appeared on the stage: she was smart and neat in a black suit, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, showing her documents and pulling the cordon, showing a powerful aura.
Whether in terms of career or relationship, Nie Baoyan has been portrayed very three-dimensional by the screenwriter.
Like Gao Jie, she once had a "lifelong partner" - violinist Lu Ruizhao, but the other party's wife exposed the identity of the "little three".
However, as she matures, Nie Baoyan has a crush on Zeng Jiayuan (played by Lin Baoyi), but the relationship is struggling to move forward in various obstacles.
In the end, they reached a balance point and achieved love at the end, leaving it to the audience to imagine what happened after that.
What's even more remarkable is that Chen Huishan's retirement life after playing Nie Baoyan is also very exciting.
Later, she chose to make a comeback and invested in the production of an educational program "After School".
During this period, her husband failed to invest and was in debt, but she has always maintained a decent attitude towards life.
She moved out of her mansion, sold her luxury car, returned to filming, worked hard to pay off her debts, and studied for a doctorate.
Recently, Chen Huishan sang with Lin Baoyi at the Greater Bay Area Movie Gala, which triggered a hot search topic, and netizens were moved to tears: "My TV series is the best couple!."”
In 1998, "Sister Tuogun" was quickly launched by TVB under the background of the popularity of several previous criminal investigation dramas and became a classic in the hearts of many fans
Kwan Yonghe in the play appears as Zhu Su'e, and Chen Sanyuan serves as the double heroine, showing the unique characteristics of the two women.
Especially Zhu Su'e, whether mentally or behaviorally, she completely relied on herself to get out of the predicament and choose her own life.
She was originally a little woman with a happy family and a considerate husband, but she always refused to accept the man's suggestion to "support herself", and actively transferred to share the family expenses.
Similarly, Sister Zhu also experienced her husband's cheating and decisively filed for divorce.
After that, she began to grow herself rapidly, and even in the face of a man's return, she was very sober and quickly judged the other party's bad intentions.
From beginning to end, Zhu Su'e has never been carried away by emotion, even if she met Chen Xiaosheng played by Ouyang Zhenhua again, she kept calm, and even left a golden sentence: "No man really won't die."
In terms of career, she switched from civilian work to patrol, but in the face of wind and sun, she regained her confidence and became stronger and stronger.
There is no doubt that Zhu Su'e's counterattack is completely on her own, and she has always been a person's transformation, which is exceptionally refreshing and down-to-earth.
And Guan Yonghe, who is outside the play, is also strong.
She is also from a privileged family, but she does not have the frame of an eldest lady.
During the filming process, she fell in love with Zhang Jiahui, who was not from a good family, and chose to persevere to the end and give true love.
After they got married secretly in 2003, Kwan Yonghe gradually withdrew from the entertainment industry and supported her husband's career in an all-round way.
However, at first, Cheung Ka-fai suffered from depression because he couldn't find the feeling of filming, but Kwan Wing-ho tolerated and understood him until he finally became the actor a few years later, and the two hugged warmly at the awards ceremony.
Kwan Yonghe's abandonment and support won her husband's respect and return, Zhang Jiahui said bluntly in an interview:"She is the most important person in my life"。
In 1998, "Wonderful Hands and Benevolence" was a medical drama starring popular actress Cai Shaofen as the heroine Tang Zili, which was also the peak of her appearance
In the play, Tang Zili appears with neat short hair and light makeup, playing an emergency doctor, she has excellent professional ability, is always busy but not chaotic, and handles emotional problems maturely.
Tang Zili deeply likes the actor Cheng Zhimei, even to the point of infatuation, no matter whether he is in prison, she waits;When he came out, she was by his side.
Although she understood that she couldn't easily let go of her feelings for many years, Tang Zili didn't entangle, and even blessed him: "I wish you all the best." ”
As painful as this dedication is, this tolerance will always remain in the hearts of the audience.
Outside the play, Cai Shaofen is also free and easy.
Her debut journey was not easy, in order to repay her mother's huge gambling debts, she had to enter the entertainment industry, and was even sent to a wealthy businessman to be a "canary".
Even years later, she still remembers her inferiority complex.
After that, Cai Shaofen met Wu Qilong, who had a similar experience to herself, but due to each other's personalities, the two did not get together.
During this period, she has been tortured by her mother for many years to ask for "astronomical amounts", and even resolutely broke off the mother-daughter relationship.
A spark was generated between the two and the relationship grew closer, but their romance was questioned due to reasons such as their popularity and age.
However, they withstood the pressure, and the man worked hard to get rid of the label of "Cai Shaofen's husband" and become a popular martial arts star;After experiencing ups and downs, the woman becomes more and more confident.
Tong Xixin in "Rushing to the Clouds" in 2003 is the only female pilot in the play, although she is not the heroine, she is also one of the classic roles of the "big heroine".
She has a strong personality and has been determined to become the first Chinese female captain since she was a child.
Despite this, Tong Xixin is not perfect: she has no father, and behind her strong appearance, she is vulnerable on the inside, which causes her to often hesitate emotionally.
But compared to the complex emotional lines of other protagonists, her clues are concise and clear, showing the characteristics of youth and impulsiveness.
Tong Xixin's works represent key words such as face and choice, which seem to be troublesome, but in fact firm.
She also interprets the true meaning of the title of the play "Breaking Through the Clouds" in a sense.
She was originally a talented girl, graduated from Wellesley College with a degree in political science, and participated in the Miss Hong Kong beauty pageant and won the championship.
Ye Xuan's road to fame is also very smooth, starring in Shangguan Haitang in "The First in the World", becoming the "white moonlight" in the hearts of many people.
But then she gradually became involved in the whirlpool of "Gossip Queen", and was repeatedly exposed to negative news in 2015 for talking about "Mr. Xiao Mo".
In recent years, Ye Xuan has devoted herself to the live broadcast industry, but has received a lot of criticism due to her status, figure, and controversial remarks.
Looking back on these Hong Kong dramas now, 20 years have passed since the closest one to us.
However, these images of wonderful women still shine brightly in our memories today.
Until the advent of "News Queen", Charmaine Sheh once again played a fashionable and successful "Hong Kong girl" image.
What kind of image is that?Don't mess up, don't rely on others, don't relax your own requirements, always keep enterprising, and devote yourself to your career.
This genre became popular 20 years ago, and it makes sense that it is now popular again.
So which "Hong Kong girl" in those Hong Kong drama filters do you never forget?
