In February 2014, a Chinese-produced TV drama masterpiece "Parents' Love" came out, describing the simple and innocent love story of the parents' era, showing the Chinese characteristics of family and love.
A domestic boutique conscience drama received as much as 9With a score of 5, it is praised as a masterpiece that people never get tired of watching. It has been broadcast for 10 years, and it is still well received and has become on the table of countless netizens"Electronic mustard"。
In recent years, people have generally known the fact that in the film and television industry, "remakes of classics" can make a lot of money. Works such as "Dream of New Red Mansions", "New Three Kingdoms", "New Return of Pearls" and "New Bright Sword" have attracted many capitals.
However, after ten years, although the law of "remakes must be earned" still exists, no one dares to try to remake the classic hit drama "Parents Love". What is the reason for this?
The reason why "Parents Love" has been able to win the audience's long-term love is mainly due to the excellent performances of the actors.
The characters in the play can be said to be the core of the whole play.
Liu Lin played the role of Jiang Dehua. How well does she understand and present the role?
Many netizens bluntly said that they watched this drama because they were attracted by the "rural sister-in-law Dehua" she portrayed.
In order to take care of her brother's children, she traveled from her rural hometown to live alone on the island with her brother and sister-in-law, and this role change is quite contrasting.
Teacher Liu Lin's interpretation vividly shows the rude image of Jiang Dehua, a village girl in the countryside, who is only dedicated to helping her brother and standing on the opposite side of her sister-in-law, which is even a little annoying.
The audience was overjoyed by her pungent and willful personality, and it can be said that most of the laughs in the whole show were contracted by her alone.
However, as the story unfolds, Dehua's heart also changes, and after a long time with his brother and sister-in-law, he gradually integrates into the family atmosphere.
The two of them finally tied the knot, and this grand wedding became a classic moment talked about by countless netizens.
From that moment on, people really began to appreciate Dehua's inner world, and accompanied this rural girl through the bits and pieces of growth, full of emotion.
Mei Ting is an actor who plays An Jie, she not only has a superior family background and outstanding appearance, but also has a very strong personality.
After she and Jiang Defu got married, they devoted themselves to changing her husband.
Although she is the daughter of a capitalist, her character is delicate but not restless, charming but not charming, knows how to distinguish things, and knows how to advance and retreat.
Although she has a strong personality, she never lets herself get into trouble, let alone troubles herself because of trivial matters, and lives a frank and free life.
She is the heroine of the show, and her frequency of appearances runs through the entire play.
From the initial young girl to the vicissitudes of life and the steady elderly aunt, actors need to show a very wide age span, which puts forward high requirements for performance ability.
The role of Mei Ting seems simple, but the unique sense of vicissitudes of the elderly alone has stumped many young actresses.
However, Mei Ting, who was born in Chinese opera, can hold the handle firmly and steadily, and gives full play to the character of the character very well, and her acting skills are really rare.
Guo Tao is the actor who plays the role of Jiang Defu in the play.
When the director initially decided to let Guo Tao play the role, screenwriter Liu Jing objected because she thought that Guo Tao's image did not match Jiang Defu in her mind, and even proposed the idea of replacing him.
With the unremitting support of the director, Guo Tao finally won the recognition of screenwriter Liu Jing with his superb performance.
With the popularity of this drama, many netizens directly regard him as Jiang Defu's preferred actor.
Guo Tao interpreted Jiang Defu's rough officer temperament very well, and at first Jiang Defu was not a completely upright person, and even a little narrow-minded and forgetful of profit, such as using his power for personal gain and abuse of power many times in the play.
Guo Tao's interpretation made the audience not only have no dislike for this role, but even liked it very much, because Jiang Defu in the play is a good man who pays attention to his family, and he is also very contented and often willing to help his relatives.
He dares to express his character, is straightforward and unpretentious, and is very down-to-earth to people and things, so he is deeply loved by the audience and is known as the most ideal partner in the play.
Guo Tao played a crucial role in the success of Jiang Defu's role, he deeply understood the character and mastered excellent acting skills.
In addition, the actor's own good character has also become one of the most important factors for him to win the love of the audience.
The success of the drama "Parents Love" is inseparable from the joining of many excellent actors, but what really supports the work is the excellent creative team, and the screenwriter Liu Jing is the mainstay of the whole work.
Liu Lin's evaluation of screenwriter Liu Jing is: "She is very strict in the plot design of the script, we almost don't need to bother to think about the development of the plot, just perform according to the script, and the whole process is very smooth." ”
Jiang Wen noticed a ** published in the magazine "People's Liberation Army Literature and Art" in 1993, which reminded him of his mother, and had the idea of adapting it into a movie. So, he decided to contact the author and buy the copyright.
Liu Jing is the author of this "Parents' Love"**, and she integrated the story of her parents when they were young into it.
In addition, she has a rich experience of life in the army and a deep literary background.
Liu Jing was addicted to mahjong in middle age and had no intention of starting screenwriting, which led to Jiang Wen, Ni Ping and Yang Yaya missing appointments one after another and failing to participate in "Parents' Love", so the creative project had to be stranded.
However, excellent works will not be unknown, and soon Cao Huayi, the boss of Xinli Media, discovered the potential of this **, so that the script adaptation work soon began.
As Liu Jing and the screenwriter collided in literature, their opinions, opinions, and perspectives began to diverge.
The screenwriter believes that in order to increase the ratings, it is necessary to strengthen the contradictions and conflicts between human nature in the plot.
Liu Jing is not interested in capital routines, and he believes that to show the theme of Chinese-style family, it is necessary to highlight the different personality characteristics of the characters from daily trivialities, so as to attract more audiences to like the complex and loving Chinese.
The incompatibility of their creative ideas led to their quick parting of ways. Cao Huayi immediately invited Li Xiaoming, who is good at family dramas, to go out of the mountain to serve as a screenwriter.
After the meeting, the two were surprised to find that each other's creative ideas coincided, and their communication process was very smooth.
The script of this national masterpiece "Parental Love" was completed in only 10 months.
Different from ordinary family dramas, "Parental Love" incorporates a common sense of humor in daily life while expressing family love, which is precisely its core concept and an important factor in attracting audiences, making the show's ratings hit new highs.
Life is a complex and colorful drama, full of warmth, regret, contradictions, and laughter.
I firmly believe that just the right sense of humor can be an important element in attracting audiences.
We can show the relationship between family members in a light-hearted way. This is the opinion of director Kong Sheng.
The persistence of director Kong Sheng and screenwriter Liu Jing proves that this excellent domestic masterpiece can make people unforgettable and fresh.
Every character is affected by the changes of the times, which makes us gradually integrate into it in the process of the plot, and gain an in-depth understanding of the inner world of each character, which can be seen in the skills of the screenwriter and director.
Unfortunately, screenwriter Liu Jing died of cancer in 2019 at the age of 58.
Her death made "Parents' Love" a swan song, and even if the capital wanted to adapt it again, it would be meaningless, because it lost the guidance of the original screenwriter.
Ten years after the premiere of "Parents' Love", the audience still loves it, and the TV and ** platforms continue to re-screen, witnessing its enduring charm.
In this fast-paced era, most TV dramas tend to remake or pursue intense plot development, but "Parental Love" appears in a special way, it is like a picture scroll slowly unfolding, presenting the moving story of that era to the audience in detail.
The drama "Parents Love" was carefully created by the entire crew, from the production team to the actors, everyone put in the effort. Therefore, this classic masterpiece has become something that can no longer be reproduced by the capital side.
This film and television drama has the unique characteristics of spanning the times, and unlike other works, there are no large-scale war scenes, thrilling plots, or twists and turns in the storyline.
It just vividly shows the family trivia of the parents' era through the ordinary storyline, and presents it in front of us in detail.
This is the ordinary and happy life of ordinary people, and those characters in the play can more or less find their shadows in reality.
It is like a pot of old wine, after the baptism of the years, the taste is dense and rich, and it conveys the strong family values and sincere emotions of the Chinese in ordinary daily life, and still deeply touches every audience.
