In 2004, the drama "Blood Romance" sparked a strong enthusiasm for watching movies in China.
Why is this TV series so popular?
First of all, thanks to an excellent script.
When it comes to Duliang, many people may not know much about it, but when it comes to "Bright Sword", almost everyone will have heard of it.
That's right, the two works "Blood Romance" and "Bright Sword" were both created by Du Liang.
It is worth mentioning that works like "Wolf Smoke in Beiping" and "A Hundred Years Ago" were also created by Du Liang.
A great script and a compelling story form the basis of a successful TV series.
When the master gets his hands on it, it's certainly superior. You can now imagine how strong the "foundation" of this play really is.
Moreover, the subject matter has aroused widespread resonance.
Blood Romance" is a work based on the life experience of young people born in the "military compound" during the first period, describing a group of young people led by Zhong Yuemin, who went from being known as "patting the mother-in-law" and the stubborn owner of the stubble, to the rural educated youth who responded to the ** policy, and then joined the army later, and finally returned to their hometown to start a business.
Some describe it as a period drama, while others consider it a drama that depicts urban emotions.
More precisely, "Blood Romance" can be seen as a youth epic that reflects that era, and it describes the various stories experienced by young people in the context of that particular era!
The TV series "Blood Romance" not only carries the memories of the future, but also closely connects with the growth process of the future, which is indeed a rare masterpiece.
As described in the preface to the original: this is a story that revolves around "fate", describing the youth of a generation in the midst of battles and shouts. It's a sunny day for them, and their romance becomes a memory of the past in the blend of blood and fire. As much as our emotions ebb and fall through their stories, we all realize that youth is only a brief end, not a final bloom.
Also, the cast of the show makes it stand outstanding.
Liu Ye (playing the role of Zhong Yuemin).
In the play, Zhong Yuemin, played by Liu Ye, is a "spiritual pillar" who pursues freedom and independence, and is also a "poet with a kitchen knife".
In that era, compared with those ordinary people who "inherited their father's business and kept to themselves", Zhong Yuemin was undoubtedly an "outlier". Despite his outward appearance as an unemployed gangster, he is actually looking for a sense of being "on the road" on the inside.
When "Blood Romance" was broadcast, Liu Ye was only 26 years old, and it was during his "mixed up" period. Combined with Liu Ye's figure and temperament, he perfectly interpreted Zhong Yuemin's "flamboyant and slightly naughty" role.
Before the broadcast of "Blood Romance", Liu Ye's popularity was already quite high.
In 1999, Liu Ye played the role of a mountain village boy in the movie "That Mountain, That Man and That Dog", marking his official entry into the film industry.
The film won the audience's Favorite Feature Film award at the Montreal International Film Festival.
Since then, Liu Ye's status has also risen.
In 2001, Liu Ye won the Best Actor Award at the Taiwan Film Golden Horse Awards for his outstanding performance in the movie "Lan Yu".And in 2004, his outstanding performance in the movie "Beauty Grass" won the Best Actor Award at the Chinese Film Golden Rooster Awards.
Liu Ye performed well in consecutive high-rank competitions, and he was considered the top in his era, both in terms of acting skills and popularity.
Therefore, when he participated in the performance of "Blood Romance", he himself received extremely high social attention.
Blood Romance has earned Liu Ye a special reputation. Since then, he has been involved in dozens of film and television productions, including tough guys, great personalities, petty traders, and entrepreneurs, among others. No matter what role he plays, he will put his heart and soul into it, and the characters he creates have a unique style.
Sun Li (playing the role of Zhou Xiaobai).
In the work "Blood Romance", Sun Li successfully portrayed the character of Zhou Xiaobai, who wore a red scarf and ponytail, and had a pair of vibrant eyes and a beautiful face. Thanks to her prominent family background and deep affection for Zhong Yuemin, she has become a "goddess" in the minds of almost all male audiences.
Sun Li, a hot actress born in the 80s, has won numerous awards in the field of film and television for her high profile and well-received work.
In 2004, Sun Li starred in the TV series "Jade Guanyin" which marked the beginning of her acting career. With this work, Sun Li won many honors such as the Most Popular Actress Award at the 22nd China TV Golden Eagle Awards, the Audience's Favorite TV Drama Actress Award, the Top Ten TV Drama Actor Award at ** TV Station, and the Outstanding Actress Award at the 14th Beijing TV Chunyan Awards.
Sun Li has starred in many subsequent works, including "The Great Dyeing Workshop", "Happiness Like Flowers", "New Shanghai Beach", "The True Story of Hot Mom", "The Legend of Miyue" and "An Home". In these works, she managed to portray an impressive series of characters that have become recognized classics.
In the process of pursuing fame and wealth, Sun Li also experienced the double satisfaction of love and happiness.
Sun Li, now nearly 40 years old, has become a mother of two children. Despite this, her passion and pursuit of acting has never waned, and we all hope that she can bring more high-quality performances to everyone.
After talking about the hero and heroine, let's talk about the role of the supporting role.
Lian Yiming's role is Zhang Haiyang.
Blood Romance is undoubtedly a classic that Lian Yi is popular for because of his popularity.
In the play, the role of Zhang Haiyang is played by Lian Yiming, who participates in the filming of his mother-in-law, insertion and rural activities along with Zhong Yuemin, Yuan Jun (played by Liu Ting) and Zheng Tong (played by Ma Yuan).
Zhang Haiyang has always had a deep affection for the heroine Zhou Xiaobai, and when Zhou Xiaobai realized that she and Zhong Yuemin were not the same type of person, she chose Zhang Haiyang, and their marriage relationship also reached a pretty good ending.
In real life, Lian Yiming was originally a member of the National Peking Opera Company, and he participated in the Hong Kong TVB Artist Training Class, and later became a martial arts instructor and action director.
Lian Yiming integrates the dual identities of actor and director, and is known as a "powerful faction".
He not only starred in "Blood Romance", but also got involved in dozens of film and television works, although he did not become popular, his influence is still not to be underestimated.
The popularity of the film and television works directed by him is actually higher compared to the actor.
For example, the 2005 popular TV series "Wildfire Spring Breeze Fighting Ancient City" was his first directorial work, which was widely acclaimed.
Subsequently, he successively directed many classic TV series such as "Big Knife", "The Past", "Snow Wolf Valley", "Chang'an under Heaven" and "Decisive Court".
It is understood that "The End of the Beacon Smoke", a TV series directed by Lian Yiming and starring Zhang Han and Jiao Junyan, will be broadcast soon, if you are interested, you can ***
Wang Like's role is Qin Ling.
When people first saw the Qinling Mountains, many people mistakenly thought that it was the role played by tranquility, but when they looked deeper, they realized that it was just a misunderstanding.
Wang Like is the actor who plays Qin Ling, he not only has outstanding appearance, but also excellent acting skills, but unfortunately his reputation "will never be popular."
When Wang Like acted in "Blood Romance", she was only 17 years old, in the prime of her youth. Her performance in Qinling is not only beautiful and moving, but also talented, especially the Xintianyou she sings, which makes Zhong Yuemin fall in love with it.
As Zheng Tong described in the play: "This girl is really a goblin." ”
Later, Li Chuliang was attracted by Qin Ling's beauty and talent, so he volunteered to help Zhong Yuemin.
In the play, Qin Ling is the character who can most impress Zhong Yuemin. What she pursues is an emotional experience of "on the road", especially in terms of feelings, she can always live in harmony with Zhong Yuemin, if she needs to, she will be with her, and if she needs to, she will be separated, neither obsessed nor entangled, which is why Zhong Yuemin will never forget her.
It is no exaggeration to say that in the whole play, Qin Ling became the only woman Zhong Yuemin loved in his heart.
In real life, Wang Li can be regarded as a classic example of "drama is popular, but people are not popular".
Some netizens joked that "Blood Romance", Liu Ye, and Sun Li all became popular, and then. Qinling has also become very popular.
Although the character was loved by the public, the audience forgot Qin Ling's face and Wang Like's name.
It was like a haunting spell to her.
Since Wang started his acting career, she has starred in 49 films and TV series, 41 of which are works with the theme of heroines.
However, whether it is cooperating with senior actors such as Chen Baoguo, Siqin Gaowa, and Liu Wei, or cooperating with a new generation of actors such as Yang Mi, Hu Ge, Li Zonghan, and Nie Yuan, they have not been able to get rid of the dilemma of "the drama is popular, but the people are not popular".
I sincerely hope that in the near future, she will have a chance to break through the sky.
Fu Biao (playing the role of Director Wang).
When it comes to Fu Biao, many young friends don't remember him much.
However, for those who lived in the 80s and 90s of the 20th century, in addition to Chen Peisi and Ge You, Fu Biao was also a popular comedian with his own unique artistic style.
In the TV series "Blood Romance", Fu Biao played the role of Director Wang of the Revolutionary Committee, which made Zhong Yuemin and several others feel angry and afraid of him.
In real life, Fu Biao is an actor who is willing to play a supporting role.
Although he has never played the leading role, the insignificant characters and supporting roles he has created are deeply integrated into his life insights, and through their laughter, they bring the audience a deep reflection on life.
Sadly, Fu Biao died in Beijing in 2005.
At his memorial ceremony, from directors to singers, including Zhang Yimou, Xu Zheng and his wife, Ge You, Gao Xiaosong, Zhou Xun, etc., almost the entire Beijing entertainment industry attended. On the periphery of the event, thousands of spectators volunteered to mourn him.
Fu Biao has been widely praised not only because of his outstanding performances and the characters he has created, but more importantly, because of his noble qualities, which have been praised by colleagues in the industry and the audience.
Summary section. Every historical period has left unforgettable memories, and "Blood Romance" is a miniature model of that era.
The characters in the play, such as Zhong Yuemin, Zhou Xiaobai, Zhang Haiyang and Qin Ling, through their respective emotional twists and turns and emotional changes, presented the characteristics of that particular era, which aroused the memories and empathy of many audiences.
Eventually, I will inspire you all through a line from the play:
When a person steps into this world, his purpose is not to build his own career or contribute.
First of all, he had to come because he didn't have a choice.
Now that you have come here, you should choose a lifestyle that you love and live your life happily. In the process, you can enjoy the best time of your life and the brightest sunshine. ”
