Almost every one to two years, there is always a masterpiece of period drama that captivates the audience and makes them unable to extricate themselves.
In the past, that kind of nostalgic mood and trivial things in the family, as long as the period drama continues to be staged, it can attract many audiences to come and watch.
Today, let's review those classic period dramas that moved hundreds of millions of viewers to tears, starting with the 10th part.
no.The title of 10 is "The Ring of the Year".
In "Year Rings", which was broadcast in 1992, many classics were born.
The Legend of the New White Lady", "Under the Roots of the Imperial City" and "The Story of the Editorial Department" were all in that year, and they broke the audience ratings record many times.
Compared to these works, the popularity of "Year Rings" does not seem to be as high as theirs, and it pales in comparison.
However, when this TV series aired that year, its influence was almost comparable to that of any work.
The reason why Year Rings has won the love of audiences is that it relies deeply on "emotion.
This TV series is based on the eponymous ** written by writer Liang Xiaosheng, and "The World" is also his creation.
The story spans more than thirty years of social evolution from the sixties to the nineties.
The core characters in the drama have also experienced various changes from youth to middle age.
In our youthful years, we developed a deep friendship, and in middle age, we supported each other. Although everyone has experienced different times and fates, the emotions between us are still so deep.
The deep emotions between the characters touched the hearts of many viewers, while also evoking memories of their youth, which made the show have a huge impact across the country.
Especially the lyrics of "Ask Father, Ask Mother, Ask Sunset, Is there a Great Northern Wilderness in the Sky", has become the most unforgettable memory of many audiences for the work "Year Ring".
no.9's work is "Shanghai Family".
In 1991, "Shanghai Family" debuted, which was broadcast a year before "Year Ring".
In that era known as the "big male protagonist solo show", this drama became the first "big female protagonist drama" with female characters as the core, which was also the biggest attraction at that time.
Shen Ruonan, the heroine, showed fearless courage and perseverance, and won the hearts of many audiences.
Although the owner of the tailor shop made things difficult for Ruonan, Ruonan did not give up easily, but relied on his firm will to master a variety of professional skills such as abacus and financial accounting.
Li Ling, who plays Shen Ruonan, her gentle appearance is in stark contrast to her inner ability and chic, and her excellent acting skills also won her the honor of Feitian Award.
With the great popularity of this TV series, the theme song "Believe That Day" sung by Wei Wei also quickly became popular on the streets.
When women accomplish great things, they often bear nine points of pain and one point of sweetness, and the real challenge of singing this song of "difficult to walk" is to overcome the inner barriers. ”
These short lyrics completely describe the touching moments in Shen Ruonan's entrepreneurial process, reflecting the inner feelings of women in that era.
no.8's work is titled "The Years of Burning Passion".
Kang Honglei's works, such as "Soldier Assault" and "My Regiment Commander, My Regiment" and other military-themed TV series, are familiar to many people.
However, Kang Honglei's 2001 directorial film "The Years of Burning Passion" did not just delve into it, and the show quickly achieved 12% audience ratings after it aired.
In less than a year, Beijing TV has conducted five rebroadcasts, and the ratings of each replay have remained at a high level, which shows the extent of its popularity.
The Years of Burning Passion does not choose to take the traditional serious and deep route, but skillfully combines the military plot with the background of the times, injecting warm elements into the plot.
Shi Guangrong, who has experienced half a lifetime of military career, and Chu Qin, an actor of the Art Troupe, have spent their lives in a series of ups and downs, and their lives are full of passionate enthusiasm, as well as noisy but warm daily life.
Compared to the marriage and love between the two, the emotional bond between their children deeply touched many audiences.
In particular, their daughters, Shi Jing and Hu Dakai, met for the first time at a bonfire party in the grasslands of Inner Mongolia, but due to various factors, they were forced to break up.
Later, the two meet again after a long separation on the train, and this reunion has become the most moving classic scene in the whole play.
no.The title of 7 is "The Old Peasant".
In the work "Old Farmer", the former owner is the "big brother" Mountain Shadow in the noon sun.
Although "The Old Farmer" is not the most popular among the many plays in "Mountain Shadow", its high-quality performance has not been affected.
As the show's name suggests, the characters are hard-working peasants who face the earth with their backs to the sky, and spend their entire lives busy running for the land beneath their feet.
From land reform to reform and opening up, this is not only a history of social changes, but also a chronicle of family history.
The love story between Niu Daring and Sister Deng'er is the most touching, they have known each other since childhood, the two have had no secrets since childhood, but fate always plays tricks on them, and it is not until later that they can be together forever.
The outstanding performances of Chen Baoguo, Niu Li, Feng Yuanzheng and others make the TV series "Old Farmer" full of a heavy feeling of changeable fate.
no.6. The title of the work is "Ordinary World".
When we delve into the "difficult to settle" in the ** period drama, "Ordinary World" is undoubtedly the one that has attracted the most attention.
Although Sun Shaoan and his family finally escaped the poverty of the past, they now live warm and happy days, however, the ending of this story is similar to the fireworks on the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve where Xiulian leaves, which looks perfect on the surface, but is actually full of sadness.
Although the deaths of Xiulian and Xiaoxia brought tears to the eyes of the audience, Shao'an's unremitting efforts and Shaoping's personal growth also inspired people's enthusiasm and passion.
This TV series successfully captured the core idea of Lu Yao's original work, and won wide acclaim from the audience through the struggle between the little people and fate and the power of the times.
That year, the show surpassed 2,8 in ratings for 8 consecutive days8 professional evaluations fully demonstrate its importance in the minds of the audience.
no.5's work is "Big River".
"Big River" is unique among period dramas in recent years, and it is also a rare work in the period drama series.
From Song Yunhui, Lei Dongbao, and Yang Xun, the three leading figures known as the "Iron Triangle", to Liang Sishen, Cheng Kaiyan, Xun Jianxiang and many other supporting roles, every role has been portrayed vividly.
In particular, it is worth mentioning that Song Yunhui, played by Wang Kai, has grown from an ordinary rural youth to the director of a large state-owned enterprise, and this process has won the deep emotions of many audiences.
In order to create this character, Wang Kai carefully planned many details closely related to daily life.
The character looks like an inadvertent wrinkled nose, the occasional push of glasses, and the dribbling action while playing basketball all give the character more of a realistic "raw edge".
"Big River" not only shows the superb acting skills of the actors, but its high-quality performance is also reflected in the pursuit of perfection in the scene.
As director Kong Sheng pointed out, "Big River" is mainly concerned with the evolution of the times and the changes in society.
Everything is changing as houses and roads change, so art needs to be done continuously. ”
Therefore, the crew worked hard to break through the tradition and chose the method of sequential shooting, which reserved time for continuous updating of art creation.
So far, "Big River" has been broadcast to the third part and has been widely popular on CCTV.
Recently, CCTV quickly purchased the rights of the first two works, and launched the "one-click three-in-a-row" function to meet the expectations of the audience.
The series of works not only won the wide love of the audience, but even the "Yang Ma", who has strict requirements for taste, is full of praise for it.
no.4's work is "Golden Wedding".
In the past two years, Jiang Wenli has become the focus of "middle-aged idol dramas", and she even joined the group "Girl Sect".
Despite this, no one is dissatisfied with Jiang Wenli's acting talent, because she is the winner of the "Double Circle Grand Slam" in the TV drama awards, which is unique in China.
Her outstanding works, such as "Happiness Knocks on the Door", "Holding Hands", "Golden Wedding" and "Little Women Under the Zhengyang Gate", are all critically acclaimed classics.
Among Jiang Wenli's many works, "Golden Wedding" is definitely her most influential one.
In the work "Golden Wedding", Jiang Wenli's role of Wen Li, whether it was her innocence when she was young, or her heavy mood due to marriage in middle age, was perfectly interpreted by her.
In the theatrical duel with Zhang Guoli, they all emphasized a "meticulous" emotion, whether it is a trivial dispute or a deep emotion with old age, it can touch people's hearts and make people move to tears.
The classic feature of the work "Golden Wedding" is not only reflected in the performance of the actors, but also in the fact that it realistically depicts various subtle contradictions in married life.
As people enter middle age, face marital difficulties and rebellious daughters, these family tragedies are both angry and deeply resonant.
After the broadcast of "Golden Wedding", the ratings reached an astonishing 20%, and since then, such as "Golden Wedding" and "Parents Love" have been profoundly affected by this phenomenon.
no.3's work is titled "The World".
In the popular period dramas of the past two years, "The World" has undoubtedly reached the realm of kings in terms of emotional depth.
The most touching part of the drama is undoubtedly its atmosphere of "fireworks everywhere", although there are almost no too many contradictions and conflicts in the whole work, but it touches the heartstrings of the audience in some trivial details.
Bingkun is a loyal and kind person, Bingyi is an upright and rational person, Zheng Juan is an ill-fated but never giving in, and each character is full of life power.
After 50 years of time, the deep family affection between the three generations is deeply moving, and the sincere friendship between the six little gentlemen is also unforgettable.
On Chinese New Year's Eve, Bingkun and Catch-up and others braved the cold temperature to ride their bicycles away after dividing the pork, and the cheers and jumps of the six echoed in the narrow alley, giving people a warm emotional experience.
Observing the cast of actors, we can see senior actors such as Sarina and Ding Yongdai, plus Yin Tao, Lei Jiayin, Song Jia, Xin Baiqing and other powerful actors of the Mesozoic Generation, their performance on the same stage is also quite good.
It is very appropriate to use the phrase "sincerity is eternal nirvana" to describe "The World", because the sincere performances of the actors touched the most sincere emotions in the hearts of the audience.
no.The work of 2 is "Parental Love".
In the memory of many audiences, "Parental Love" is regarded as a late-blooming theatrical work.
In fact, when the TV series was first broadcast on CCTV in 2014, its ratings had reached a staggering 3%, ranking firmly in the top five of the annual ratings.
However, CCTV didn't use this strategy for large-scale marketing, which led to many viewers only really experiencing the powerful impact of "Parental Love" in recent years.
Many viewers said after "Parents' Love" that when they saw Jiang Defu and An Jie together, it was as if they saw the daily life of their parents and their daily interactions with their partners.
In the play, the daily chit-chat between the two and the sharp confrontation in the quarrel are very much in line with the real mode of getting along between husband and wife.
Therefore, some viewers sincerely regard Guo Tao and Mei Ting as a couple in real life and have sex with them.
The reason why these two actors can play their roles so deeply in the hearts of the people is also thanks to the contribution of Liu Jing, the screenwriter of this drama.
When Liu Jing began writing the script, she made it clear that she didn't like those vulgar family comedies, and she wanted to show a scene full of warmth and real family life.
Observing the broadcast content of the series, we can find that Liu Jing has indeed done the ultimate, and she has even polished every line of the character in detail.
Mei Ting, an actor, once shared that all members of the team thought that Liu Jing's dialogue was very real and highly consistent with the character's emotional experience at that time.
As a result, during the filming of the entire drama, not a single line was modified, but was filmed exactly according to what the screenwriter had prepared before.
It is precisely because of this down-to-earth and meticulous emotion that hundreds of thousands of netizens have given it a 9The high score of 4 made it successfully enter the list of domestic dramas.
no.1's work is "Crossing the Kanto".
If "Parents' Love" is the most fascinating period drama, then "Breaking Guandong" is undoubtedly the most magnificent period drama, showing the vitality and spirit of the Chinese.
The reason for this expression is that the work "Chuang Guandong" deeply shows the deep meaning of the word "Chuang" in terms of plot and character creation, and satisfies the audience's yearning for legends and mysterious elements in period dramas.
The core idea of this drama is to successfully create a legendary heroic character - Zhu Kaishan.
It is no exaggeration to say that Zhu Kaishan is the core spirit represented by the word "Chuang" in the TV series "Breaking Guandong".
He participated in the Boxer Rebellion, embarked on a journey to dig for gold in the mountains alone, ventured into Kanto with his family, and was always able to turn danger into safety despite repeated brushes with death.
Zhu Kaishan showed the national spirit of the Chinese, he was neither proud nor impatient, and even if Mount Tai collapsed, his face remained firm as ever.
As some viewers said: Without the existence of Zhu Kaishan, this story would be like a broken skeleton, which is difficult to show completely.
The TV series "Crossing the Guandong" is no exception, it depicts the highs and lows experienced by Zhu Kaishan's characters, showing the audience the complexity of that era and people's moral decline.
From these 10 period dramas, we can observe that although they come from different historical backgrounds and cover many aspects of our daily lives, they all describe the life stories we experience with our parents.
