Among them, one of the childhood memories of countless audiences, "Family with Children" (2005-2007), now has a new action after 16 years - the big movie version of "Family with Children" is about to be launched.
The producer said that the original team members Ma Song Dandan, Gao Yalin, Yang Zi, Zhang Yishan, and You Haoran will be invited to return, and the main focus is a memory and feelings.
Since the first part of 2005 (Douban 90 points), to the second part ushered in the peak of word-of-mouth (Douban 9.1 point), and then in 2007, the Fourth Tribe came to an end, and in a blink of an eye, 17 years have passed for the story of "Family with Children".
Now the original team is gathered again, which makes everyone both surprised and worried.
Surprised** The actors' super high national degree, the once lovely children used to bring us happy memories, and now they have all grown into new stars in the entertainment industry, with different development routes.
The worry stems from the erratic quality of the live-action film, which is only adapted for consumer feelings.
In recent years, it has been a trend for popular dramas to be remade into movies, and judging from past examples, the "success rate" of works is extremely low.
Therefore, as soon as the live-action version of the news was released, some netizens with opposing opinions said, "It's good to have some good things to stay in the past."
But today, we might as well put aside all speculation about the movie version and refocus our eyes on this classic sitcom.
Let's take a look at the charm of "Family with Children" after so many years that can make everyone so unforgettable.
Unexpected popularity
"Family with Children" is another popular family-themed sitcom after "I Love My Family".
In 2005, "Family with Children" just premiered on CCTV, and it ended with 23 The ratings became the most watched TV series in the same time period, which was unexpected by everyone.
After all, before the start of filming, almost everyone didn't look good at this drama led by children.
According to the memories of director Lin Cong and producer Li Jianhong, the first major problem faced by "Family with Children" was casting.
Because it's a sitcom for teenagers and children, well-known actors aren't interested in this work. In desperation, in order to increase his attention, Lin Cong thought of his old partner Song Dandan, who had worked with him in "I Love My Home".
At that time, although Song Dandan became famous with his wonderful performance in the Spring Festival Gala, there were no works that could be done in the film and television industry.
So under the director's "bitter begging" and daily "life-threatening serial calls", Song Dandan finally agreed to act.
This time the choice was correct, under Song Dandan's accurate interpretation, a warm-hearted and quick-tempered mother Liu Mei appeared vividly in front of the audience.
Except for Song Dandan, the other leading actors of "Family with Children" were basically "unknown" that year.
The actor Gao Yalin, who played his father Xia Donghai, was only 32 years old when he took over the role, not only did he not get married and have children in reality, but he also did not have any experience in playing his father, but fortunately, with the help of Song Dandan, he gradually entered the play.
And the three young actors Yang Zi, Zhang Yishan, and You Haoran only had experience in cameos and commercials before, so they thought that acting would be quite laborious, but they burst out with ingenious chemistry with each other.
They performed with adult actors without any stage fright, perfectly interpreting the children's innocence and whimsy, and in this way, the improvised family of five was assembled and more than 100 episodes were successfully filmed.
After the broadcast of "Family with Children", it achieved an unexpected fire.
Parents and students all over the country even blew up the crew's mailbox and **, rushing to give suggestions and suggestions to the work, and even the "Beijing Impression" community, where the filming was taken, became a holy place for check-in.
Funny and profound
To this day, the classic lines, jokes, scenes, and episodes in "Family with Children" are still popular on the Internet.
Popular phrases such as "My name is Xia Yu, my name is Xia Xue, I am called Hail", "Your childhood, my childhood, it seems to be the same" and other popular phrases have become truly "household names".
On Douban, the ratings of the first two parts are also as high as 90 and 91 point is enough to confirm the national praise of the TV series.
On the other hand, "Family with Children" is not only funny, but also has many quite avant-garde educational concepts and left a lot of lines and golden sentences.
Especially the shaping of his father Xia Donghai can be called a classic.
He is completely different from the tough guy father image portrayed in previous film and television dramas, and he can always listen patiently to the needs of children and give appropriate encouragement and comfort. Almost half of the famous quotes in the series are from the mouth of this "great educator".
It can be said that the appearance of "Family with Children" at the beginning of the new century has made countless ** viewers realize:
It turns out that children and parents can become friends, even if the parents are at fault first, they should apologize to the children, and achieve true equality and communication.
Therefore, even if there are too many illogical places in the plot, "Family with Children" can still make us think in joy, perhaps this is the charm of a truly excellent work.
The story after "Family with Children".
After the fire of "Family with Children", the lives of the leading actors can be said to have undergone earth-shaking changes.
Among them, the actors of "Liu Xing" and "Xia Xue" who benefited the most were Zhang Yishan and Yang Zi.
Let's talk about Zhang Yishan first, as the funny person in charge of the whole drama, Liu Xing's image is undoubtedly the most deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
However, this has also become an "obstacle" and pressure for a long time, and compared with other actors, child star Zhang Yishan's transformation is more difficult.
Fortunately, with his own efforts, he successfully achieved a gorgeous transformation through the crime genre drama "Residual Sin" in 2016, when he was 24 years old.
The male protagonist of the same name played by him in the play is impressive with the right balance of ruffian and righteousness.
And Yang Zi, who used to show herself as a "good girl", has become a popular flower of the post-90s generation with many urban and romance dramas.
From Qiu Yingying, a newcomer in the workplace in "Ode to Joy", to Lu Xueqi in "Zhuxian Qingyunzhi", to the soft and smart Tong Nian in "Dear Love", and the "villain" Doudou in the Spring Festival file "Hot and Hot".
Yang Zi has taken one step at a time, as if she has become the "most promising existence in the family", and she will continue to cooperate with Jia Ling in the new anti-pyramid scheme reality work "Turning Thoughts and Flowers".
Compared with the success of "Brothers and Sisters", You Haoran, the actor of "Xia Yu", is a little unknown.
After making guest appearances in many TV series one after another, You Haoran has now focused on live broadcasts and variety shows.
And he himself is also socializing ** self-deprecation: "No one else is angry".
Song Dandan, who was the most famous at the time, began to transform silently after "Family with Children", and evening dramas and travel variety shows became her main battlefield.
Gao Yalin, who can't play his father, has become a "father professional", in "Send You a Little Red Flower" and the new film "Let's Shake the Sun Together" during this year's Spring Festival, he plays the father figure.
Now, when we look back at "Family with Children" again, those touches engraved in our memories and the happiness when we used to chase dramas will still come to mind.
In fact, for most audiences, the future movie version of "Family with Children" is more like a consolation for sitcoms and childhood memories.
It's hard for us to expect the movie version to replicate the success of the drama version, just don't ruin childhood memories too much.
