I met Zhou Haimei because of "Miss News".
Premiered in 1999, 23 episodes tell the story of the news station, and there is a plot like this-
Bai Yun, a news anchor played by Zhou Haimei, found that the deceased was her newly married husband when she was broadcasting a traffic accident. She paused for a few seconds to broadcast the news.
I was probably in elementary school at the time, and this dramatic scene gave me a big shock.
It was this scene that I remember until now
More than 20 years have passed in a hurry, until a few days ago, I was shocked to learn that Hong Kong star Zhou Haimei passed away unexpectedly in Beijing. Everyone went to "Yitian" to say goodbye to "the most beautiful Zhou Zhiruo". And the first role I think of her is still Bai Yun in "Miss News".
So revisit the show.
In "Miss News", there are two emotional threads.
The first is Bai Yun and Wu Jiajun.
The second is Bai Yun and Tao Xiang.
At first, Bai Yun has a master's degree in sociology from Yale University, and Wu Jiajun is the deputy director of the news department of the TV station. The two are separated by an ocean, and they feel the test.
When the new director of the TV station took office, the first fire was reform. So Wu Jiajun invited his fiancée to the TV station on the grounds of reform. At the same time, he also came back with his good friend Tao Xiang.
Wu Jiajun is down-to-earth and forbearing, and Tao Xiang is full of romance.
Wu Jiajun is careful and thoughtful, and Tao Xiang is harsh and cold.
The protagonist in a TV series often represents an extreme personality. And gentleness and personality, it seems that you can only choose one.
Of course, Bai Yun chose Wu Jiajun, she didn't even hesitate, why?
Because from the beginning, she was "naturally" hostile to Tao Xiang. In short, she had a terrible impression of him.
returned to China, entered the TV station, served as a producer, reporter, anchor, and married Wu Jiajun after a short emotional turmoil.
Maybe some people remember Gao Shuguang in "Miss News" because he is so handsome in it.
But few people remember, or rather, can't believe that Wu Jiajun's actor turned out to be Chen Baoguo.
Uncle Bao Guo has also acted in idol dramas.
yearsChen Baoguo, and 3Years of high dawn, 3Zhou Haimei, who is years old, acted in an urban idol drama.
This is simply unimaginable now.
The ratings of "Miss News" could not be checked back then, but this drama was Zhou Haimei's "going north" work.
From here, Zhou Haimei gradually broke away from TVB and focused her career on the mainland. And Beijing, where "Miss News" was filmed, is where she lived for 20 years.
The director of "Miss News" is Lai Jianguo, who also "went north".
You probably won't remember the name, but if you mention "Old House Youxi", you shouldn't be unfamiliar with it. This romantic urban drama that inherits "Huanzhu Gege" and carries forward the original CP is also from Lai Jianguo.
And the year when "Old House is Happy" and "Miss News" premiered were both in 1999.
In 2015, director Lai Jianguo passed away at the age of 60.
One of the very precious things about "Miss News" is that the emotional line and the career line go hand in hand, and even more depictions of the career line.
For example, the scene that impressed me deeply
Wu Jiajun died unexpectedly in a car accident, Bai Yun went to the hospital immediately after the broadcast, and stayed all night, and after a few crying scenes, the story continued.
The director did not overly describe "sadness", there was no sensationalism, and there was no expression of extreme emotions.
Bai Yun was depressed for a while, and then returned to work again.
But the state of work has changed from the previous childishness to the visible maturity of the naked eye.
She continued her search for the truth of the news. From the factory violating labor laws to exploit employees, to the zoo becoming a processing factory for wild meat, from focusing on low-level migrant workers in the city, to the victims of hijacking cases, Bai Yun's pursuit of news has not stopped because of emotional fluctuations.
In fact, the audience can only see the changes in Tao Xiang's feelings towards Bai Yun from the clues.
The moment when the relationship between the two was not "confirmed", it seemed to be a clear and logical result.
Therefore, it is not appropriate to say that "Miss News" is an idol drama, it is more like a professional drama.
That's why, over the years, when it comes to journalism, I always think of the scene I said at the beginning.
There are a lot of familiar faces in Miss News.
For example, Yuan Wenkang, who was 19 years old at the time, resembled Takuya Kimura in the play.
For example, Guo Xiaodong, Lin Peng, and Huang Junpeng, these actors are still active on the screen.
Chen Baoguo was canonized as a god for a long time, and Gao Shuguang gradually faded out, making occasional cameos. And the last time we saw Zhou Haimei was in the 2022 movie "The Soul of the Han Army".
Someone commented:What an embarrassing movie, I only took a look at it because of Zhou Haimei.
The 1999 TV series "Miss News" did not have the reversal and blackening that contemporary enthusiasm for, nor did it have strong emotions as a background. Everything is gentle, faint.
The drumbeat of the opening "Shadow" sounds, which is the fourth song in Hong Kong singer Wang Jingwen's second Chinese ** "Sky" released in 1994. She sang, this is a show, mistaken for it.
By 1999, Wang Jingwen had become Faye Wong.
I don't know what kind of coincidence it is, the ending song of "Miss News" chose Nicholas Tse's "Just Live for You One More Day".
The year after the series aired, the two staged "Century Hand in Hand" at Tony Leung's celebration banquet.
At the end of "Miss News", Bai Yun resigned, and the director asked her, where are you going?Newspapers?
Bai Yun said no, it's not a TV station or a newspaper, but a new type of **.
What is it?internet.
In 1999, we probably hadn't really come into contact with the Internet, and Bai Yun at that time stood at the forefront of the times and had entered a new century.
It's more than twenty years laterA moment full of emotion.
The news of Zhou Haimei's death came on December 13. And the hottest drama at the moment has also entered the closing moment. The name of the episode is "The Queen of News".
From "Miss News" to "Queen News", the only constant is the discussion of journalistic ethics.
And the protagonist of the series, very coincidentally, is the meeting of two generations of "Zhou Zhiruo".
The world is changing, and the world is impermanent.
Relive this drama today to miss Miss Zhou Haimei.
