Arrange a seat for "Chinese melodrama", "Family with Children" ranked 3rd, and "Wulin Gaiden" ranked 2nd

Not long ago, producer Zhang Linshu announced the reboot plan of "Family with Children", which will start filming the film version soon. The original cast, including Song Dandan, Gao Yalin, Yang Zi, Zhang Yishan, etc., will also return to continue the classics on the screen. However, the news caused mixed reactions.

Some people are happy because of the emotional nostalgia for "Family with Children", but some people doubt whether they can show the charm of the year again because of things and people. As a national-level classic sitcom, "Family with Children" is the childhood memories of the post-80s and post-90s generation, and its hit era is also considered to be the "** era" of the development of Chinese sitcoms.

During that period, sitcoms with different styles such as "Sister Idler", "Wulin Gaiden", and "The Story of the Cooking Class" emerged in an endless stream, continuing to refresh the ratings boom of sitcoms. In order to review this ** era, let's take a look at 10 classic domestic sitcoms, among which "Waiting Hall" (1997) ranks tenth.

Directed by Yingda, "Waiting Hall" is set in an old railway station in a small northeastern city, and compares the small station to a stage of life, bringing together all kinds of life. In this waiting hall, railway employees, attendants, passengers and other people come and go, staging all kinds of ridiculous and interesting stories. The celebrity cameo added to the highlights of the play, and Zhao Benshan, who participated in the friendship role, left a deep impression on the audience.

The old man played by Zhao Benshan misunderstood the test results and thought that he was terminally ill, so he decided to travel the world with his children on his back before the end of his life. However, in fact, he just suffers from indigestion, and all this is just a huge misunderstanding. In the play, Uncle Motoyama not only contributed many golden sentences, but also showed an orthodox and solemn joke telling style with the image of wearing glasses and a suit.

"Waiting Hall" set an impressive rating that year, achieving 105% high ratings. In the next 5 years, the Yingda team made persistent efforts and launched a sequel to this drama, "The Story of the Waiting Room", which was also highly praised by the audience.

Another classic work, The Story of the Cooking Class (2002), depicts the trivial things in life, and truly shows the "steaming" atmosphere of military life. It is particularly worth mentioning that the performances of the two generations of "military art school grass" Hong Jiantao and Sha Yi in the play have added a lot to the whole drama.

In order to create the role, the substitute school Cao Hong Jiantao studied Cantonese hard, and finally presented the classic image of "Hong squad leader". His stocky figure, honest personality and pure Cantonese are all impressive and make people laugh. and Cao Shayi, the second-generation school of military arts, played the role of "Handsome Hu", and became the "face responsible" in the play with his sword eyebrows and starry eyes, chic and handsome image.

Interestingly, the role of Shuai Hu was not originally Sha Yi, but actor Hu Yajie was selected as the first choice. However, due to Hu Yajie's schedule conflict, this role was eventually taken over by Sha Yi. "The Story of the Cooking Class" also contributed to the acquaintance of Sha Yi and director Shang Jing, and then the two collaborated on the filming of "Wulin Gaiden", and jointly created the legendary story of the suave "thief saint" Bai Zhantang.

In addition, Da Zhou, who is anxious, Xiao Mao, who is a small ghost, and even Yan Ni, who made a cameo, are deeply rooted in the hearts of the audience. In 2007, after the end of the "Story of the Cooking Class" series, "Hong Squad Leader" Hong Jiantao brought the original team together and cooperated with "The Story of the Police Station", but the reputation and influence were far less than the cooking class series.

no.8 "Love Apartment" (2009) The sentence "A good man is me, I am Zeng Xiaoxian" made countless post-90s viewers "enter the pit" of a love apartment full of youthful memories. How to describe the popularity of "Love Apartment" back then? For example, popular hosts and idol stars like He Jiong and Hu Ge have been invited to make cameo appearances, although they have been questioned for plagiarizing American dramas such as "Friends", but it has to be said that "Love Apartment" has opened the way to urban sitcoms and has also attracted a large number of loyal young audiences.

Several popular leading actors have also become popular all over the country because of "Love Apartment", but with the end of this series, they have also embarked on different development paths. Little aunt Deng Jiajia's "Tang's Performance Rules" continued to exert her strength, winning the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers double female supporting role, and the role types are becoming more and more changeable, and Li Jiahang, who plays Zhang Wei, has also grown from a small transparent actor to a powerful actor, playing an important role in major film and television dramas. Even Wang Chuanjun and Sun Yizhou, who have the deepest labels, have also opened up their acting paths and are thriving in the film industry. On the other hand, Chen He, who became popular because of his role, is now in a predicament such as "variety show".

In 2018, the movie version of "Love Apartment" was released, but it was criticized by the audience for this wave of fried cold rice, 3A score of 2 lowers the lower bound of this series. The difference is that "Sister Idler" (2000) premiered in 2000, but its witty and humorous plot full of strong life atmosphere has been widely praised by audiences across the country. According to statistics, when the show was at its most popular, the ratings were second only to "Weather Forecast".

Sister Ma played by Cai Ming has a straightforward personality, nagging but helpful, but the poor mouth can get to the point. Subsequently, Sister Ma's story was adapted into a sketch and appeared on the Spring Festival Gala, showing the strong influence of the series. Not only that, a shopping mall in Shanghai also opened a special "Ma Dajie counter", and a food store also launched "Ma Dajie Milk Candy".

One of the main reasons why this series has caused such a big social repercussion is that its plot closely follows the social trend and cleverly integrates the social hotspots of the time into the plot. For example, when the TV series was on the air, the crew learned that the police costume was about to be changed, and quickly used it as the prototype to create an episode of the script, and the director Yingda urgently borrowed a new type of police ** from Shenzhen. In addition, the play's screenwriter Liang Zuo uses the method of writing scripts and filming at the same time, which is relatively rare in China.

no.6 "A Family in the Northeast" (2002) is one of the first TV dramas to spread the humor of the people of Northeast China throughout the country.

The familiar Northeast accent, the sentence "Cuihua, sauerkraut", directly brought the audience into the years of "Northeast Family" while eating melon seeds. originally planned to shoot 40 episodes of "A Family in the Northeast", but because the ratings continued to rise, screenwriter Yingning had to "temporarily add dramas" and expand the number of episodes to 120 episodes. Despite the intense filming task, every actor in the play gave a wonderful performance. For example, Gong Hanlin's character Sun Ming, he interprets the image of Hanger Langdang and Linglong shrewdness deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. There are also the "young husbands and old wives" played by Li Qi and Peng Yu, although the actual age difference is 20 years, but they are not abrupt at all in the play, and the tacit partnership between the two is impressive. This drama has almost gathered half of the comedians in the Northeast, and even Shen Teng, who was still playing tricks back then, also made a cameo role.

As for "The Story of the Editorial Department" broadcast in 1992, it can be called the "originator" of Chinese sitcoms. The play has a luxurious cast of Ge You, Lu Liping, Hou Yaohua, Liu Bei, Fu Biao, Zhang Guoli, Pu Cunxin, etc., and it was definitely a Wang Bang-level existence back then. In addition to the cast of "Ceiling", the show also created many classic lines, such as "Who is easy to be born as a human being?" If you beat the mother's womb, you may have a miscarriage. And "I think this is the greatest weakness of man, listen to the good, and jump up as soon as he says the bad." These seemingly poor ridicules actually tell the truth, and screenwriters Wang Shuo and Feng Xiaogang have contributed a lot.

In 2013, "The Story of the New Editorial Department" directed by Zheng Xiaolong was broadcast, although the reputation plummeted, it failed to replicate the influence of the previous work. In contrast, no.4 "Underground Transportation Station" (2007) When people think of sitcoms, people usually think of parents and urban life.

However, "Underground Transportation Station" broke the tradition of sitcoms and integrated anti-Japanese themes with sitcoms. This bold idea was originally conceived by screenwriter Yingzhuang in a drunken whim. When Yingzhuang shared this bold idea with his brother Yingda, Yingda hesitated and failed to put it into practice for a long time. It was not until 2004 that Yingda applied to his superiors, and it was only approved after strict deliberation by his superiors.

In 2007, "Underground Traffic Station" won high praise from the audience after it was broadcast, and then it was rebroadcast on various David TV many times. The most impressive character in the play is undoubtedly the traitor Jia Gui, played by actor Yan Guanying. His sentence "Twenty years later, I am a good man again......Traitor! Not only is it funny, but it is also full of irony, and it once became the iconic line of Jia Gui's character. In addition, there are wonderful cameos from many comedy celebrities in this play, Guo Degang, Yu Qian, Pan Changjiang, etc. have all left excellent performances in the play.

Another No3 "Family with Children" (2005) and "Wulin Gaiden" have been praised by many audiences as the two peaks of domestic sitcoms. These two works carried the banner of sitcoms in the years when the tide of sitcoms receded, and became two masterpieces loved by young people.

Especially after the hit of "Family with Children", a wave of imitation was set off in society. The refrigerator began to stock up on high Lego and ice cream, and many families also bought the same cutlery as "Family with Children". The ending song is very popular, and the sentence "Your childhood and my childhood seem to be the same" is even more popular on the streets and alleys, singing the voices of countless children.

To this day, many viewers still take out a magnifying glass from time to time to carefully ** "Family with Children", looking for interesting elements in it. For example, Xiaoxue's fancy dress, Xia Donghai's housing area, and the brand-name skin care products used by Liu Mei's mother. In addition, many memes that are popular on the Internet also reflect the audience's love for this show.

Recently, the launch of the big movie "Family with Children" further proves that this IP still has a significant influence.

No., which is as famous as "Family with Children".2. The work is "Wulin Gaiden" (2006). In the years when "Family with Children" was on the air, the influence of "Wulin Gaiden" should not be underestimated. Bai Zhantang's sunflower point acumen and Guo Furong's overwhelming mountains have become the representatives of countless audiences' childhood memories and inspired countless young people to imitate them.

The classic clips in the play are endless, creating many classic scenes that have been repeatedly tasted by the audience, such as Lu Xiucai's counter-killing of Ji Wusheng, Fan Damiang's "There is someone above me", and the classic "A god on my forehead" by the shopkeeper Tong became the mantra of many audiences at that time. The movie version launched a few years later also gained a lot of fan recognition, and with a box office of nearly 200 million, it was a hit that year.

Today, many actors have made their mark in the entertainment industry and become the backbone of the industry. Sha Yi not only shined in variety shows, but also made remarkable achievements in the field of film and television. At the same time, Yan Ni frequently acted in dramas and was praised as the "drunken goddess" because of her unique personality.

Yao Chen has gotten rid of the youthfulness and recklessness of Guo Furong's period, not only starred in excellent dramas such as "Latent" and "It's All Good", but also began to move towards the direction of producer. Although these actors have undergone various changes, the bits and pieces in the Tongfu Inn are still the most precious memories of the audience.

Notably, "I Love My Family" (1993) topped the list. If "The Story of the Editorial Department" represents the pinnacle of workplace sitcoms, then "I Love My Home" is a representative work of family sitcoms. This drama has received high scores from more than 100,000 netizens, occupying the forefront of similar TV dramas and becoming a rare classic.

When the show aired back then, almost every family with a TV would gather in front of the TV and couldn't wait for each episode. The highest rating of 85% makes it a rebellious existence. Behind this success, a large part is due to the crew's skillful grasp of the details of life and the family atmosphere.

For example, when it comes to sets, almost every picture is filled with all sorts of old things, from bundles of old newspapers to old clothes hanging on the balcony, and even kitchen glass is stained with soot. Although the scene seems messy, it is full of life, successfully restoring the life scene of an ordinary family in the nineties.

Although the scene is single and the picture is not elegant, it is full of the fireworks of life and the strong family affection between the family. Whenever I watch this play, there is always a warm current surging in my heart.

Perhaps it is precisely because of the sincere emotions that flow naturally in the details that it is able to impress audiences across the country. Nowadays, the development of sitcoms is no longer as prosperous as it used to be, but the emotion it brings still reverberates in our hearts.

In the current era of TV dramas with a hundred flowers, we can't help but think: Can sitcoms usher in a long-lost recovery?
