At the end of the 1990s, Wu Mingkai, an assistant director of Hong Kong's high-profile films "The Rising Storm" and "The Thief Swallow Li San", went to the mainland to explore new opportunities.
He was lucky enough to get the first script of "Young Bao Qingtian". The screenwriter is the experienced Huang Haohua, who integrates the classical masterpiece "Three Heroes and Five Righteousness" with a number of reasoning comics and detectives to create a new costume drama that integrates suspense, inspiration and love. Despite the fact that the show was a great success after it was broadcast, Hu Mingkai became famous.
He directed the first episode of the show one after another.
The second and third parts, although the last two are not as good as the previous works, they have also won the affirmation of the audience. In addition to the gripping suspense story, the show also brings together many beautiful characters.
Looking back on the peerless beauties in the "Youth Bao Qingtian" trilogy 22 years ago, let us re-examine their demeanor with modern eyes. First of all, the first part:
1. Li Bingbing (as Ling Chuchu).
Li Bingbing and Ren Quan, who played Gongsun Ce, were classmates in college, and collaborated on many TV series and commercials together after graduation, including "Waiting All the Way" and "Youth Dispatch". However, "Youth Bao Qingtian" made them really enter the audience's field of vision and become high-profile big stars. It is said that in the original script, Gongsun Ce also fell in love with Ling Chuchu, forming a love triangle between Bao, Chu, and Ce. In the traditional story "Three Heroes and Five Righteousness", the prototype of Bao Zheng's wife is Ling Chuchu. Not only is she strong in martial arts, but she can always stand up when Bao Zheng encounters danger.
At that time, Li Bingbing was at the peak of his appearance, and he was delicate with a bit of heroism, which complemented this role with the maximum force value. Her outstanding performance even won her an award at the Singapore International Film Festival. However, with the establishment of her own studio and the entry into Hollywood, she gradually shifted her focus to the big screen and became an internationally renowned film and television superstar.
2. Liu Yijun (as Pang Feiyan).
Despite playing the second female lead, Liu Yijun's performance is not inferior to other roles, or even better. She was only 18 years old when she appeared in the play, and she had no acting experience, but she attracted attention for her round and cute smile and natural girlishness. The popularity of her role Pang Feiyan far exceeded expectations, especially after she quit the showbiz early, which left an indelible mark in the hearts of the audience. Although she later retired from acting, her outstanding performance in the movie "Pink Girl Lover Run" and her pursuit of ** showed that she has multiple talents and possibilities.
3. Rao Rao (as Xiao Ai).
Although Rao's acting career was short, it left an indelible mark. Her character, Xiao Ai, is an ill-fated woman who shows a poignant temperament that is very different from other characters in the play. Although her acting career is relatively short, her wonderful performance in "Young Bao Qingtian" is unforgettable.
Fourth, Xie Keke (as Chang Yu).
Chang Yu, played by Xie Keke, is a tragic character whose fate is murdered by outsiders, forcing her to embark on the road of revenge. Despite the ill-fated nature of her character, her beauty is still impressive. Although Xie Keke did not make many breakthroughs in her later acting career, her outstanding performance in "Youth Bao Qingtian" is commendable.
5. Fatimah Yaqi (as a girl).
Although the girl played by Fatimah Yaqi only appeared in four episodes, she left a deep impression on the audience. Her character is the heir to a family that has become brave and fearless by revenge. Despite her short appearances, her performances were impressive.
As the plot develops, there are also impressive beauty characters in the second and third parts. Their performances made the audience unforgettable and added endless charm to the "Young Bao Qingtian" series.
