A boy with a thousand faces with a changeable temperament.

With the broadcast of this year's popular fantasy drama "Bad Obsession Eliminator", the male protagonist Zeng Jinghua has become the new favorite of audiences on both sides of the strait. Although his appearance is handsome and outstanding, he has the ability to make people start with his appearance and be loyal to his acting skills, and picking scripts is a must, "The Name Engraved in Your Heart", "The Epidemic", "My Maji 4 Ghosts" and many other works are well-known, Zeng Jinghua, who does not set limits for himself, can deduce the thousand-faced temperament of different roles, and has become a powerful actor at a young age.

A teenager with a sense of brokenness full of literature and art.

Chen Haosen is known as the title of Takeshi Koganeshiro, with a melancholy temperament and a pair of eyes with a sense of story. He was known to Taiwanese audiences for his role in the Rainbow Hexalogy, and was shortlisted for the Golden Horse for his explosive performance in "The Name Engraved in Your Heart", which also made the name Zhang Jiahan engraved in the hearts of thousands of audiences, and then "The Truth After the Crime" once again let people see his energy.

Looking at Zhu Xuanyang is like watching the explosion of a supernova.

The new generation of Taiwanese actors naturally has their own personal charm, but the phenomenon of Taiwanese men becoming popular cannot be achieved by personal charm alone. From the unexpected popularity of "I Want to See You" to the clarion call for the revival of Taiwanese dramas, to the hot scene of this year's Golden Horse "Five Handsome Actors Competing for the Best Actor", behind the charm of Taiwanese men, it reflects the mountains and valleys of Taiwanese film and television in the past 20 years.

Childhood filter for puppets

Taiwanese idol dramas must be an indelible part of many people's childhood. At the beginning of the millennium, Taiwanese idol dramas rose rapidly, according to statistics, in just five years from 2000 to 2005, the output of Taiwanese puppets exceeded 100, "Meteor Garden", "The Prince Becomes a Frog", "The Ultimate Class", "Fate I Love You" and other works are popular in the Chinese market, and the fairy tale model of "Prince and Princess" has also brought fire to a number of Taiwanese puppet male gods, Zhou Yumin, Yan Chengxu, Zheng Yuanchang, Ruan Jingtian, Peng Yuyan, Zhang Xiaoquan, Chen Bolin...A long list of names all affect the DNA of countless audiences.

The first generation of Taiwanese idol dramas.

Although after "Queen of Defeated Dogs" and "I May Not Love You", the Taiwan puppet quickly entered a period of decline, and the audience who originally chased the Taiwan puppet also grew up and left, but Taiwanese idol dramas have always been many people's initial enlightenment and imagination for romance.

The type is diverse and non-greasy

Ten years ago, Taiwan puppets soon faced market saturation and talent outflow after their first-class growth, and it was not until 2016 that the Zhi Theater series, which was jointly produced by several major TVs, did not improve, and in 2019, "I Want to See You" set off phenomenal attention in Taiwan and the mainland, and many people regard this as a sign of the revival of Taiwan puppets.

However, the Taiwanese dramas of the new generation have long been different from the Taiwanese puppets of the millennium, they have abandoned the stereotypical sweet pet formula of "prince and princess", and explored a creative ecology with multiple types and topics blooming. For example, "I Want to See You" mixes the issues of science fiction time-travel, youth love and self-identity, "The Distance Between Us and Evil" focuses on the social events of random crime for the first time, and the Taiwanese film market is becoming more and more open and diverse, no longer only horror films are in charge, but also "Dear Tenant", "Who Fell in Love with Him First", "About the Incident About Me and the Ghost Becoming Family" and other films that discuss new social issues.

Who Fell in Love with Him First" Qiu Ze.

The diversified types of works have put forward new requirements for the appearance, temperament and acting skills of the actors, so this group of new generation Taiwanese men who have been tempered by Taiwan's new film and television can almost be said to have their own charms, few collisions, and good acting skills, and because they have broken away from the traditional romance mode, they have a lot less greasy.

With the strength of the good wind, Taiwan's film and television can bid farewell to the trough and take off again, in addition to the breaking and retraining of creative thinking within the industry, it is also borrowing the east wind of the times.

After 2017, Taiwan's OTT service has developed rapidly, and the film and television industry has enthusiastically embraced streaming. Netflix, HBO and other streamers with strong development capabilities have invested in many co-production projects, such as the Taiwanese drama "The Beginning of the Lights" invested and filmed by Netflix, which cost as much as 2NT$500 million, far exceeding the production cost of previous Taiwan puppets, has improved the quality of the whole series, and its reputation is particularly good after the broadcast, rushing to the top of the Netflix charts, and soon two seasons and two derivative variety shows have been added, which has become the golden sign of Netflix Taiwan dramas, and then cooperated with mainland platforms, and the derivative variety show "Just Opening the Door is Very Busy" was recently launched on Bilibili.

The layout of "The Beginning of the Lights" and the introduction of foreign capital have solved the two major bottlenecks of Taiwan's film and television investment and market, and today's Taiwanese dramas and Taiwanese films have richer themes, more sophisticated productions, and wider divergence, gradually forming a virtuous circle of creation and consumption.

Cooperation with the mainland market is also deepening, many years ago, the development of Hong Kong and Taiwan artists "going north" seems to be a major career choice, but in the past two years, the phenomenon of artists working back and forth between the two sides of the strait has become more and more common, and the cooperation between the film and television circles, the first circle and the fashion circle on both sides of the strait is also gradually increasing, such as the "Taiwan brothers" in "Overcoming Thorns" The performance and popularity are quite good, "The Summer of the Band" has made many Taiwan troupes come to the mainland music fans, and this year's music variety "Endless Treasure Island Season" has set off a wave of enthusiasm; Among the new generation of Taiwanese men, Xu Guanghan joined the "Chinese Restaurant" with remarkable fan effect, Shi Baiyu participated in "Actors Please Be in Place", Zeng Jinghua and Chen Haosen have also launched in-depth drama series cooperation with mainland ** platforms such as iQiyi.

Chinese Restaurant" Xu Guanghan.

I believe that in the near future, we can see the fruits of cross-strait film and television cooperation in the post-epidemic era, the theme, script and creative mode of Taiwanese films can inspire mainland filmmakers, and the mainland film and television industry can support the greater imagination and ambition of filmmakers in terms of scale and resources.

As director Ang Lee said-

To make a movie, you just need to open your hands. Let the world be complex and changeable, keep an open and communicative heart until we see the other side.

Wen: It's straight.
