"Goodbye Whampoa Beach" is a shootout-themed TV series directed by Yang Shaohong, with the main actors including Chen Tingwei, Wu Yijiang, Qin Pei, Chen Qiming, Yin Tianzhao, Xu Shaoqiang, Man Songxian and Wang Wei.
The TV series has completed the filming of two parts, the second of which is called "Goodbye Huangpu Beach 2: The Comeback", and the two works each contain 20 episodes.
The TV series "Goodbye Huangpu Beach" is based on the legendary career of Du Yuesheng, the "godfather" of Shanghai in the early 20th century.
The first work depicts the struggle of the protagonist Du Guosheng (the prototype of Du Yuesheng) from the countryside to Shanghai, and also the intricate relationship between Du Guosheng and his brother Zhang Tielin and Shanghai Chief Inspector Huang Tianrong, as well as the twists and turns of the love story between him and Han Xuedong.
The second part describes how Shanghai's godfather, Du Guosheng, faced the provocation of Qi Jihuan in the gang. In order to protect himself, he starts a life-and-death battle with it. Fang Haiyun's intervention further exacerbated the contradictions and grievances between the two, triggering a continuous bloody storm in the rivers and lakes.
The first episode was ATV's highest viewership of the year, so after the first episode aired, ATV decided to seize the opportunity to finish filming the second part as soon as possible. In addition to showing the acting skills of the actors, it is more important to have a good story to attract the audience. Unfortunately, the ratings for the second installment were not ideal and failed to meet the expectations of the audience, so the originally planned third installment had to end early.
After all these years, how are the main actors living now?
