639 [Mythical ratings]

"When I learned that Qiu Guan starred in the Phoenix drama "The Great Era", I always had a preconceived idea that he was the leading actor, and he was still the Chu Xiangshuai who stepped on the moon and stayed fragrant. But after I watched more than 30 episodes of "The Great Era", I was only left with the shock of the role of Ding Crab and my admiration for Zheng Shaoqiu's acting skills.

There have been all kinds of traitors in Hong Kong dramas, some are heinous, some are afraid of evil, and it is the first time I have seen a villain like Dante Crab. His evil, his treachery, and his ruthlessness can make you so angry that you want to be beaten, but he himself still speaks up, and thinks from the bottom of his heart that everything he does is right.

Ding Crab is like a madman, firmly and stubbornly insisting on his own opinions, insisting on his set of false truths that turn black and white upside down. As soon as he spoke, the audience sitting in front of the TV wanted to laugh, because it was as if they were listening to someone talking in a dream.

Such a special character who is both normal and abnormal, neither a good person nor a simple bad person, came from Kang Jianfei's pen, and then became vivid through Zheng Shaoqiu's acting.

used to watch the dramas starring Qiu Guan, thinking that he would only pretend to be handsome. Now Qiu Guan's cousin Xiàn has finally completely impressed me, and he has perfectly interpreted the peculiar and eccentric role of Ding Crab, and he has played it vividly and vividly, and he has ...... three points."

Since the broadcast of "The Great Era", at first the audience thought that Luo Huiling played by Lan Jieying was the heroine, and when Ruan Mei played by Zhou Huimin appeared on the stage, everyone thought that Ruan Mei might be the female number one, after the role of Long Ji played by Zhou Hailin increased. The audience finally couldn't figure it out: is the real heroine?

Including Fang Ting played by Li Lizhen, the important female characters who appeared in "The Great Era" all have their own unique personalities. It's not as face-painted as other TV dramas.

If you really want to choose a heroine, then the author's favorite is none other than Luo Huiling.

The only thing that made me cry in the whole drama was the scene where Luo Huiling died, in the bubble in the sky, Lan Jieying staggered and crawled towards the ring that imprisoned her body and mind. The mere 20 yuan ring carries all her love and strength, and the background music sounds. She died silently in the arms of the man she loved the most, left, and finally left. The ...... that can't be retained"

Fang Jinxin used his net worth and freedom to fight to the death against the greedy Chen Wanxian, even if there was only a 20% probability, he dared to fight for his life.

Fate gave him a high. Tide. He won. So dangerous, dead for a lifetime.

Then another inexplicable wave slapped him to death on the beach.

How is the stock market, and what about the former chairman of the Chinese Association, he was beaten stupid by his friends, he is stupid, and his intelligence is not as good as that of a 10-year-old child. In the great waves of the times, it is just a drop in the ocean. That lot of encounters is life.

But he couldn't tie his shoelaces, couldn't hold chopsticks steadily, and couldn't remember the way home, but he still had a sacred sense of responsibility. When he got a job distributing newspapers, he knelt on the ground and begged: Give me a chance, boss, give me a chance. Someone broke my brain...... I'm stupid, my girlfriend follows me, I have no name and no job, I have to raise four children, I'm useless, but I want to support my family. Please, give me a chance...... The boss didn't squeak, he trembled and took out his salary and said: I didn't do well today, I don't want to get paid. Well done tomorrow, give again tomorrow.

What does it mean to be affectionate and righteous?

He was stupid, so stupid that he had to work very hard even on the simple task of distributing newspapers, but he did not give up on himself, and he did not complain about the injustice of God all day long. It's not that he doesn't remember the past, he doesn't remember that he used to be very capable, but he remembers that he has to shoulder the responsibilities of his father and boyfriend. Is this God's favor, or is love and righteousness deep-rooted in the consciousness of this superb man.

Hui Ling, he is indeed a man worthy of entrusting his life. ”

On the night of the finale of "The Great Era", Hong Kong seemed to have become a ghost town, and even the bustling sections of Hong Kong Island were sparsely populated by people and cars, and the attendance rate of all major cinemas that night was less than 20%, because most Hong Kong people went home or went to watch TV in stores.

The number jù immediately counted shows that the highest rating at the finale of "The Great Era" is 93%, and almost no one has watched the TV series on VB's side at the same time.

The rating of 93% may seem exaggerated, but the highest rating of the original 83 version of "Shooting the Condor" is 99%, and the highest rating of the 1977 VB drama "Home Change" is 95%.

The version of "The Great Era" that Phoenix Channel is now broadcasting was launched a few months after the Hong Kong stock market crash, and the production and publicity costs are much higher than the original version, both in terms of the quality of the episodes and the timing of the broadcast. Under the interaction of various factors, the Phoenix drama "The Great Era" finally increased from more than 50 ratings when the first episode was broadcast to 93% at the finale, creating another Hong Kong drama ratings myth, which is much better than the ratings of Kang Jianfei's time and space.

If a TV series is so popular, then all the news about it can become news, and even the several supporting actors who play Ding Crab, their romance has become a topic of competition in entertainment magazines.

Li Bihua, a well-known female writer who rarely writes film and television reviews, was also invited by "Oriental Daily" to write a daily biography for "The Great Era" in her column, which actually won unanimous praise from readers.

A week before the broadcast of "The Great Era", Fengxing Records released the soundtrack record of "The Great Era" "Laughing and Watching the Storm", which included a total of eight songs of the beginning, end and interlude of "The Great Era", four of which were "created" by Kang Jianfei himself.

The original theme songs of "The Great Era" "Years are Ruthless" and "My Life, My Love" are still their original opening and ending positions, while another Cantonese divine comedy "Laughing at the Wind and Cloud" was made by Kang Jianfei to make an interlude, and the three songs were sung by Zheng Shaoqiu and Zhang Guorong.

The Phoenix version of "The Great Era" not only has changes in music, but also changes in the plot, from 40 episodes in the original version to 42 episodes. The main reason is that the ending of the original version of "The Great Era" is too sloppy, which has become a flaw that has been criticized, with the efforts of Kang Jianfei and many screenwriters, the ending of this version of "The Great Era" is more tortuous and exciting, and Liu Qingyun's Fang Zhan Botong Guò defeated Ding Crab with his own wisdom and talent, rather than pinning his hopes on luck and financial predators like the original version.

……

At Hong Kong Tsan Yu Hospital, dozens of reporters were stopped by nurses and looked inside on tiptoe from time to time. Suddenly, two sedans drove up, and after the reporters recognized that the car in front of them was Liu Songren's car, they immediately frantically surrounded it.

Liu Songren had to get out of the car and explain a few words to reporters, followed by Liu Qingyun and Yin Tianzhao.

In the drama "The Great Era", Liu Songren and Liu Qingyun played the father of the Fang family, while Yin Tianzhao played the eldest son of Zheng Shaoqiu. The four of them have been filming together for a few months, and they get along well with each other, Zheng Shaoqiu's wife Feifei has just given birth to a baby boy, so they naturally want to come to the hospital to congratulate their friends on their happiness, and they will get together for dinner in the evening to celebrate.

At this time, Kang Jianfei was still in the mainland and had not returned, if he knew that Shen Dianxia was born, he would definitely be shocked, this is why even the gender of the offspring has changed.

"Yun Zai, how far has the development between you and Lan Jieying been, have you met your parents?"

"Amaterasu, I heard that you just took on a new drama, can you reveal a little news?"

"Brother Ren, there are rumors that you are preparing to enter the big screen, which company's film is it?"

“……”

Although Liu Songren and Yin Tianzhao are supporting roles in the play, the roles played by both of them are charismatic characters, and they are also loved by many audiences, so the goal of the reporter's interview is not focused on Liu Qingyun alone.

Whether it is Liu Songren or Yin Tianzhao, they are all seniors for Liu Qingyun, although the latter entered the industry at about the same time as him.

Liu Qingyun, who had just become popular, was very modest, and gave up all the opportunities to answer questions and show off to Liu Songren and Yin Tianzhao, and he only smirked at the camera there.

After pestering with the reporter for a few minutes, the three of them finally squeezed into the hospital.

"Congratulations!"

After seeing Zheng Shaoqiu and his wife, the three of them hugged their fists and congratulated each other.

The child has been born for three days, and they have already come to visit once before, this time to pick up Zheng Shaoqiu's family of three to be discharged from the hospital.

Shen Dianxia sat up and chatted with a few of them, while Zheng Shaoqiu ran to go through the formalities and prepare to be discharged from the hospital, and tonight's meal was eaten at Zheng Shaoqiu's house.

"Haiwei and A-Ying, are they all coming?" Zheng Shaoqiu asked after returning from completing the formalities. He is now proud, not only erasing the negative impact of extramarital affairs, but also adding a big fat guy.

"Haiwei, Ah Zhen, and Ah Min are all coming," Liu Qingyun said and paused, "Ah Ying has a bit of a situation over there. ”

"What's the condition of her?" Zheng Shaoqiu asked with a smile, because Lan Jieying often made trouble when filming "The Great Era", so Zheng Shaoqiu was not worried.

Liu Songren sighed: "She is too deep into the play and can't get out in a short time." ”

The smile on Zheng Shaoqiu's face also dissipated, and said, "This is a trouble, has she seen a psychiatrist?" ”

Yin Tianzhao shook his head and said, "We all persuaded her, she said that she was not sick and insisted on refusing to go." Now a few of our close friends go to enlighten her every day, but I don't know if it has any effect. ”

Luo Huiling, played by Lan Jieying, was a tragic character from beginning to end, but Lan Jieying was performing with a method, and in the end she confused herself with the character. Now that "The Great Era" has been completed for more than three months, Lan Jieying has not yet come out of the shadow of the role, and the whole person has become more melancholy and sensitive than before.
