Since the collapse of Jiayi TV Station, there are only two TV stations in Hong Kong, Wireless and Li, turn on the TV, no matter how picky the audience is, they can only watch the programs of these two TV stations, to put it mildly, even if you put a pig, someone will watch it, stay at home and have nothing else, you can't sleep and can only watch TV for entertainment.

Prior to this, most of Hong Kong's long-form dramas revolve around the daily life of Hong Kong citizens, and the theme has always been inseparable from the small land with a population of only a few million, even if it is occasionally expanded, it is often limited to the category of strange martial arts.

Therefore, as soon as "Shanghi Beach" was launched, the ratings were already guaranteed.

The opening scene of the first episode is some red light signboard at night, showing the prosperity of SH.

The names on the signboard include "Paramount Gate", "Le Gong Ballroom", "Yongan Company", "Sincere Company", "Dahua Restaurant", "Xinxin Company", and "Ritz", which were all well-known entertainment venues, department stores, hotels, and restaurants at that time.

Due to the limited conditions of the crew, the real scene could not be filmed, so it had to be replaced by a few signboards, although the artistic conception was also expressed, but it was still somewhat unsatisfactory, which was Wang Zifan's helpless move.

The first character to appear is Ding Li, who is also the second male protagonist of the play, because he was always nervous when he first started the film, and his face was covered with a beard, he carried a flat pole to sell fruits, and he saw that he was a poor person inside and out, looking at the luxury cars driving in front of him, his eyes showed greed and envy, obviously, although he was born poor, Ding Li longed for that kind of life.

Some people may ask, why did Ding Li start out selling fruit at a stall?

The reason is very simple, because his idol, Feng Jingyao, the tycoon of Shanghi Beach, used to sell fruits, although the characters in the play are all made up, but Du Yuesheng, the most famous green gang tycoon in Shanghai Beach, was indeed born in selling fruits

Next, the actor Xu Wenqiang appeared, taking the train from Beiping to Shanghi, he carried a simple bag, just starting from the steps down the steps, with suspenseful background music, aiming to highlight the mystery of the characters' appearance, which is the director's usual shooting method.

Before Ding Li could start selling, there was a fight over there, and the vendors hurriedly dodged, and a person who was being chased and killed panicked and crashed into Ding Li who left with fruit, and the fruit all fell to the ground, violent streets, in a panic, Ding Li and Xu Wenqiang met unexpectedly, the screen froze, and the opening words jumped out, producer Shao Zhengqiang, choreographer Shao Zhengqiang, executive director Wang Zifan, screenwriter Wang Zifan......

The theme song then sounds.

Listening to the pure music of "Shanghi Beach", the audience was relieved, less than two minutes after the beginning of the episode, it made people want to stop, and soon the picture began to play, two groups of people fought and killed with axes and short knives, and pedestrians on the street avoided one after another, and the bloody pictures were displayed again and again, making people dizzy.

At the end of the killing, the victorious mob left, and the pedestrians poured out of nowhere, scattering in all directions, and fourteen dead bodies lay deserted in the streets.

As soon as the camera turned, Ding Li was full of beard, shabby and sloppy, while Wen Qiang was slightly thin, and his iconic white scarf came into view, highlighting his true colors as an intellectual youth.

Ding Li and Wen Qiang met for the first time.

Ding Li: "You don't look like a local. ”

Wen Qiang: "Yes, I'm here to find a friend." ”

Ding Li: "By the way, where does your friend live?"

Wen Qiang: "No. 5 Xiafei Road." ”

Ding Li: "The rich man's place, but it has just been demolished." ”

Wen Qiang hurriedly asked, "Then do you know where they moved to?"

Ding Li: "I don't know, you can stay in a hotel first!"

Wen Qiang seemed to have something unspeakable: "I don't know how much it costs to stay in a hotel here for a day?"

Ding Li was a little thorough, and also asked, "Then are you afraid of mice?"

……

Hotel

The plot turned flat, Wang Zifan poured a glass of water, even from the perspective of the 21st century, "Shanghi Beach" is also a rare good drama, the only fly in the ointment is that Shao Zhengqiang insisted on shooting with old props, rejecting his proposed fashion and high-definition concepts, and the result was a gray picture, with a vague and unclear feeling, which made him very unaccustomed to watching high-definition videos in the 21st century.

After the Pepsi Cola commercial, Fang Yanyun played by Zhong Yihong appeared, and the sexy outfit made people feel amazing, after Xu Wenqiang and his old classmate Fang Yanyun met, he quickly got a job watching the theater, because the theater was hot, and the opponent snatched the film, Xu Wenqiang took the initiative to take over the task and went out alone to solve the problem.

This one-handed trip to the meeting brought the audience into a tense atmosphere, and Wang Zifan arranged such a seemingly 'impossible task', which was intended to show Wen Qiang's wisdom and courage and courage. Of course, there is also an element of artistic processing. For example, the process of Wen Qiang seizing the gun is a bit incredible.

In the popular saying now, Brother Wen, you won't be hanging, right?

Next, the style of painting changed, Xu Wenqiang and Ding Li entered and exited high society, and Ding Li's turtle behavior repeatedly made Wen Qiang very broken.

……

After the first episode was broadcast, the heart-wrenching theme song sounded, and the audience knew that this song was called "Shanghi Beach", as well as the lyrics, listening to Ye Liyi's singing, they liked it immediately.

Statistics on the second day, the ratings of the premiere of "Shanghai Beach" exceeded 40 points, the ratings in Hong Kong are calculated according to 100, and the ratings of general dramas reach 30 or 40 is already considered a success, and Shanghai Beach reached this height on the first day, which is unexpected, and the next day, the plot is more exciting, and there are more people watching, and the ratings soar all the way to 50 points, beating Li's TV series released at the same time.

Chatting on the streets and alleys, the aunts are full of praise when they talk about this drama, as the series is broadcast episode by episode, the plot has ups and downs, the love triangle between Xu Wenqiang, Feng Chengcheng, and Ding Li has broken the audience's heart, and many people are looking forward to Xu Wenqiang and Feng Chengcheng being together, but there seems to be a gap between the two, when Ding Li and Feng Chengcheng walked into the marriage hall, Xu Wenqiang hurried to hear Feng Chengcheng say the three words 'I do', the audience's hearts were really broken.

The birth of tragedy, the power of tragedy, a perfect tragedy, a pair of the most respected "troubled couples", made the ratings of "Shanghi Beach" popular all the way, and before the plot was finished, the ratings exceeded 60 points, breaking the historical ratings record in Hong Kong, and achieving unprecedented success At the same time, it also caused a trend.

In fact, from the current point of view, the story mode of "Gangster Fight + Outlaw + Revenge + Troubled Times" in "Shanghai Beach" is of course nothing new, but at that time, TVB was "the first crab eater", and "Shanghi Beach" created the first heroic myth in the history of Hong Kong dramas, and also directly influenced the creation of later Chinese film and television.

In terms of actors, "Shanghi Beach" is far from being a luxurious lineup of wireless dramas, but facts show that they are the most suitable actors to play in this series, not only Xu Wenqiang played by Zhou Yanfa, Feng Chengcheng played by Zhao Yuzhi and Ding Li played by Lu Liangwei, even Changgui played by Huang Yuehua, even Chen Hanlin played by Miao Qiaowei, even Feng Jingyao and Master Ah Xiang, and even Xiangko Yamaguchi played by Ouyang Meishan who did not appear much, all left an unforgettable impression.

Walking on the street, Lu Liangwei tasted the taste of being a red star for the first time, and was often asked by fans to write autographs, with mixed feelings in his heart, he was just a trickster before, and the red and purple Zhou Yanfa has been promoted to a grandmother killer, down to three-year-old children, up to eighty-year-old grandmothers, they are all his fans, and they must wear sunhats when they go out, otherwise it will cause traffic jams, as for Zhao Yuzhi, there are many popular people in response to the old saying, the more people like Feng Chengcheng, the more her divorce scandal will spread, and there will be reporters following ten meters away, and Wang Zifan must escort her every day for filming。
