The epidemic is recurring, and the movie and TV industry is slowly recovering, with "Eight Hundred" set to be released, and "Flourish" out of the cage, which is thrilling inside.
But recovery takes time, especially for the smaller players in the film and TV industry, and if you're asking what the stars are busy doing now? Partly nothing, partly bandwagoning, partly making little videos.
Whether it is the mainland or Hong Kong and Taiwan, whether it is red or has been overdone, almost all the stars have come to the jitterbug fast hand, registered account, shoot something to brush a sense of presence, there is a kind of never be left behind by the times of the hot atmosphere. Not recognizable.
Take a closer look, oh! This is not the "Legend of the New White Lady" and Xiao Qing had a period of red luanjiao, the 17-year-old Zhang Yutang it!
Zhang Yutang, although not much in "New White", but impressive enough, the biggest scene in the whole drama is the contribution of him and Qing.
At that time, I was young enough to be red-eyed, and now I look back at the lyrics of the song, and wow, I was shocked all over again.
▲Only Zhang Gongzi's hunchback is also too powerful ......
That is to say, nearly 30 years have passed, Zhang Gongzi turned into Zhang Dajie, but the amount of hair is still there, the back is still so hunchback, but also touching, in general, is still handsome.
A role ate thirty years, such an actor is not much, Zhang Binghuai whether in the jittery voice or microblogging to decorate the name of "Zhang Gongzi", see the "New White Lady Legend" for him is the most important play in his life.
▲2019, Ju Jingyi and Yu Hazy re-enacted a version of the "new white", but the four thousand year old beauty did not act out the charm of the white lady, Xu Xian is a loss of aura, was evaluated "Xu Xian short of breath, white Suzhen body weakness", feel sick and suffering to play the whole program, the bean rating says it all.
▲ General variety show in the reproduction of classic footage is to make people embarrassed to toe gouge the ground, but here to blow up the acting skills of the leaf child, in the scene interference is huge, Zhao Yazhi to laugh, leaf child a person to hold up the whole scene of the mood, so the audience in a second tears, the eyes of the depth of feeling is very touching. For audiences on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, the three characters in "New White" are only recognized as Yip Tong, Nancy Chiu and Maggie Chan.
92 version of the success of the "new white", do not deny that there is the filter of the times, and now look back, 50 cents stunt people dumbfounded, wearing gang lens is also very much, after 30 episodes of the plot is obviously quite a lot of bugs do not accord with the logic of the final finale is also let a person stunned.
▲The most famous of these is the "Broken Bridge Reunion", where a street lamp was accidentally used.
But on the whole, it's still a classic, because the sensationalism of a work has to be seen in the context of the times.
In the nineties, New White pioneered a certain form of performance, with a subtle and elegant plot, interesting performances by the actors, a vivid script, melodious singing, and elaborate lyrics. The lyrics are well thought out and therefore memorable to a whole generation.
? Today, let's nag this long time high, about the 92 version of the "new white" some things, those classic clips, as well as, in addition to the three main actors, the other actors are living well it ......
In order to allow you to have a part of the immersive reading experience, the first to present a few of the New White" classic clips to bring you a bit of nostalgia.
What can you think of when you think of New White classics?
Whitesnake Dress Up?
First encounter in West Lake?
White Snake in disguise?
That said, when I watched this section is really a childhood shadow, but now it is as a comedy to watch, Ye Tong's expression can be really great, in addition, the director, you are sure that the props are a snake rather than a fish with a belt
The section of the water flooding the San Francisco is also a memorable one, and I just think that Zhao Yazhi's gesture can be really cool. Of course the special effects are also too rough ......
The love break Jinshan Temple, the heartache.
▲Years ago, I think Fa Hai threw the white lady's hand, this action is very dashing it.
Mei Niang off the face, comparable to Meitu Xiu Xiu.
▲These small flowers can be really beautiful, poked how many girls heart.
White Snake out of the tower to save his son, poor baby Shilin ah.
Serval is looking for his father, and Ye Tong is playing two roles, showing his strength.
Xu Shilin's high school scholar, Wen Quxing saves his mother. This paragraph is the climax and essence of the later episodes, but also illustrates the truth, only good study can make the mother happy ah!
▲Personally, I think this is one of the most beautiful shots of Zhao Yazhi ......
▲Ye Tong's acting of joyful tears is awesome.
Different age to see the "new white" have different feelings, when I was a child, I felt that the white lady and Xiaoqing is really beautiful, the pencil case is full of adhesive tape, every day wearing a white headscarf to learn them to change the magic;
What I see now is that the year ignored some of the details of the husband and wife, brother and sister, the good and evil, the distinction, the dharma and the emotions. The details of the script and the actors.
For example, when Xu Xian decided to convert to Buddhism, the harsh words to Fahai, when I was a child, I had no impression at all, but now when I look back, it's still quite shocking, and the sentences are so deep and strong, it's obvious that the scriptwriters have worked hard on the phrasing.
In fact, this show almost became a hit. The end.
Back then, the formula for doing a TV series was for the writers to write an overall outline, and then shoot as they went along. And once this drama aired, the audience response was so strong that the TV executives temporarily decided to add 20 episodes of watered-down content in the middle.
▲"Legend of the New White Lady" screenwriters Gong Min (left) and He Jiping (right), who was known as He Qi back then.
▲He Jiping is a great god in the screenwriting world, a native of Jiangxi, the son of a family, a perfect score in the composition of the secondary school exam, and later enrolled in the Department of Drama and Literature of the Central Academy of Drama, she was gifted and talented, and at the age of 30, she wrote a good play, "The First Floor in the World", which is second only to the "Teahouse", which made the then dean of the school, Cao Yu, gasp, and which was staged for 30 years and has endured for many years. Later, when "The First Floor of the World" was performed in Hong Kong, Tsui Hark was seated underneath. After watching the play, Tsui Hark was said to be looking for two things in the world, one of which was roast duck, and the other one was He Jiping, and after that, he graciously invited her to write "The New Dragon Inn". He Jiping later followed her husband to settle in Hong Kong, writing "New White" when she went to Hong Kong is the most short of money, almost a day an episode of the speed, even so, still quality, she is good at writing period dramas, the penmanship is delicate, the details of the exquisite, the bottom of the pen vicissitudes of the world, masterpieces are also "casting" "when the bright moon", "the evil is not" ......< /p>
Temporary casting, completely changed the structure of the outline, messy, the screenwriter could not write over, and added Zhao Wenchuan, Fang Guilan, He Qi, and others, and even the director, Xia Zuhui, personally, resulting in the new white plot in the back of the plot has a lot of holes.
▲The gradually growing list of writers.
Arguably, the most compelling passages of New White come from the first half, which is written by Gong Min and features the hero and heroine going from meeting each other to marriage, with an overall tone of euphony and lyricism.
In addition, director Xia Zuhui is a master of the Huangmei opera, who worked with Li Hanxiang on Dream of the Golden Jade and the Red Mansion, so there is a lot of Huangmei singing in the new White, which adds a great deal of flair.
In Gong Min's writing, Bai Suzhen is smart and generous and beautiful, and can be called the perfect woman; Xu Xian is pedantic and timid, but stupidly infatuated and a wife-favoring fiend; Fa Hai is a cultivated highlander who is not obnoxious;
According to Gong Min's intention, he was trying to make Bai Suzhen and Xu Xian end up as an ordinary couple in the world of people, but then as the more and more scriptwriters, the plot became more and more dog-blooded, Fa Hai began to be hideous and sinister, becoming the most hated character by the audience, and also added scenes such as stealing treasures from the Liang Wang Fu, which were obviously not in line with Bai Suzhen's persona.
Subsequent writers, in order to fill the 20 episodes, created Li Bilian, Hu Meiniang, Qi Baoshan, etc. The direction of the grand finale is that Xu Xian and Bai Suzhen are a pair, Li Bilian and Qi Baoshan are a pair, and Xu Shilin and Hu Meiniang are a pair.
But then the writers started to change again, and it was all messed up, with Hu Meiniang being written to death, and Li Bilian and Xu Shilin marrying inbreeders.
The grand finale was even more unbelievable.
For example, in order to avenge her sister's death, Xiao Qing has been practicing hard in the Qingfeng Cave for twenty years, preparing to take revenge on Fa Hai.
Before the padding so much, but this revenge is too much child's play, before she was taken by Fa Hai's pot, and now still taken by Fa Hai's pot.
▲Before the revenge.
▲After revenge.
Xiao Qing was killed by Fa Hai seconds the scene aired, Taiwan's ratings should drop two points, visible audience wrath.
Also, for example, after so many years of separation, the love of the white snake and Xu Xian, it is not easy to come out of the reunion, but become two-sleeved Taoist friends? Everyone is asking, is it so important to become a Buddha and an immortal? Why can't we recreate the loving life of the first few episodes?
Also, the most unacceptable thing for viewers to accept is why Fa Hai also flew to heaven? And fly with them
In 2012, the eighty-something Gong Min once wrote back to the netizens, talking at length about his views on "New White," saying sincerely, "It's just a still-popular popularity production," and criticizing some of the screenwriters relentlessly for their low standards: "The other three don't catch it far enough".
A TV series, from 30 episodes to 50 episodes, the screenwriter changed four or five, in accordance with the general rule has long been a bad show, but the new white is different, it is hard to become a generation of classic, even if the "essence of the dregs and the display", but some of the bridge
New White House
New White House
New White House is a classic of its generation.
For the cast of New White, it was a mixed blessing to play such a timeless show, because the image was so y rooted in their hearts that it was difficult to climb any higher.
Not just the three leads, but today we take a look at how the rest of the cast, big and small, have fared since New White.
Ha Kwang Li: Comeback after 60
Li Bilian is a new character that the writers have hard-wired in, but in the 20 episodes that follow, she has a big part to play, and she also takes on the function of a love triangle. So the actor who played Li Bilian was also picked by the directors that year, and chose the long-famous Xia Guangli.
When the director was looking for Xia Guangli, he wanted her to play Xiaoqing. But the schedule was wrong, and she ended up playing Bilian, who had a lighter role.
Xia Guangli is actually fully capable of playing the role of Xiao Qing, because more than a decade ago she was a famous sword and horse actress, graduated from the Lu Guang Theater School, and joined the industry at the age of 16, hardworking and diligent, solid basic skills, is a rare cultural and martial arts theater are eaten by young actresses.
In 1980, she starred in the movie "Sisters out of the Horse", and stunned everyone with her beautiful kung fu base, especially her leg work.
After playing "New White", Xia Guangli had a bright future, and stumbled upon the era of costume dramas, which were very popular among actresses who were beautiful and capable of fighting, and she soon acted in Zheng Shaoqiu's "The Legend of Xiang Shuai".
It's just that most actresses in those days viewed acting as a job, not a life-long endeavor, and for most of them, getting married was the most important thing.
Xia Guangli, who quickly rose to the top of the list of actresses, met Lan Wenqing, who was also a fast-rising artist, and they fell in love.
▲Blue Wenqing was a social punk in his early years, because of hacking people also squatted in jail, and then entered the acting circle, made a hit drama "the silkworm again", with the image of the warrior quickly rose to fame.
At that time, Xia Guangli was also injured because of filming, ligament rupture, kung fu was forced to put down. For her at the time, the hard work of acting is really not as easy as falling in love and getting married, so the two fell in love and then both retired from the circle, opened up a hot pot store. The hot pot restaurant was once well run, in addition to Taiwan, but also opened to Hangzhou.
▲ Lan Wenqing and "Bao Qing Tian" Jin Chaoqun is a good friend, hot pot restaurant opening will invite him to come to the stage.
But the two have not been married, because a fortune-teller said Xia Guangli and Lan Wenqing "fate is not", can not get married. This is the first time in the history of the world that I've seen a woman in a car, and I've never seen her in a car.
The hot pot restaurant was a success for a few years, but then the partners cheated and ran away, and the hot pot restaurant lost more than 40 million Taiwan dollars in one fell swoop.
And before Lan Wenqing borrowed a lot of money from Xia Guangli, the results backtracked and denied, and the two fell out, so Xia Guangli scolded, "He is the biggest liar I have ever encountered in my life, and he doesn't even blink when he says something false."
Subsequently, the boyfriend for many years to court, a love affair ended in money disputes.
At this point, Xia Guangli was already 62 years old, packing up all the entanglements of emotions and money, she decided to make a comeback in 2020, that is, this year.
Like Xia Guangli such a real practice of kung fu origin of the actress, nothing else, eat bitter first place, shed a body cuts, filming without a body double, thirty years is still practicing hard, and the visual maintenance is also quite good.
She said that her wish now is to return from 62 years old to 21 years old when the body, and, she did do it ......
See a few days ago to see her on the microblogging said that she wanted to participate in the "Ride the Waves of Sisters", but also can not help but give birth to a burst of heartache.
How many good strong and unwilling, was drowned in the folds of fate. Sometimes, a tiny choice at the moment, may bring a very different life direction, if Xia Guangli continued to shoot that year, and how? Perhaps it was not until the age of 62 that she realized that the hope of life could not be all bets on another person.
In fact, the cruelty and helplessness of life is like this, it can not be regretted, and can not be revisited, the best thing to do is to try to grasp the moment. 62 years of age is nothing, the sister still looks like a radiant ah.
Yin Baolian & Jiang Ming: from big stars to ordinary people
To say that the classic scenes in the "new white", Xu Xian and the white snake this pair of amorous love of course, less, but
Li Gongfu and Xu Jiao Rong were so well cast, they were very smoky, and they brought to life the bickering and fighting between the couple, and also showed the most sincere goodness of the world in their playfulness.
The hilarious daily life of the sister's family is also very funny now.
Bai Suzhen is about to give birth to a child, brother-in-law is still hesitant, snakes are egg-laying, in case she lays a few eggs how to do?
After the birth, the brother-in-law congratulated Xu Xian: congratulations on giving birth to a whole son.
Hahaha, neat and tidy, what kind of blessing is this.
A good drama is not without its licorice playmakers, and the sister and brother-in-law have taken up this role, and thanks to the excellent play of the two, both Yip Tong and Zhao Yazhi have also slightly taken on some comedic temperament.
Yin Baolian, who played the older sister, was already a first-rate actress.
In her early years, she worked as an accountant, and when a friend told her that she had a good voice, she became a TV presenter, before joining Taiwan Television in 1973 as a full-fledged actress.
When she was young, Pauline Wan looked dignified and beautiful, but also very recognizable, coupled with good acting skills, so she was still in demand in the early years of her life, the noble wife, the delicate young lady, the bad woman, and all types of roles. She also acted in a lot of Qiong Yao dramas, and Lin Qingxia, Qin Han is the same era.
▲1977 version of "The Greatest Showman" as the Lord of Mercy Palace.
Later, when she got a bit older, her personal characteristics became more and more intense, because her looks were too dignified and charitable, and her face was round like a full moon, so she always played other people's mothers, and she laughed at the fact that basically all the male actors in the circle had been her sons; either that or she was an aristocrat, a niangniang, or a Goddess of Mercy.
▲Another classic, in the "Bao Qing Tian" of "Di Qing", as Di Niangniang.
Pauline Wan has been in the movie business for half her life, and has done a lot of work, but basically in supporting roles, so she really deserves the title of "Senior Licorice Supporting Actor.
She and Xia Guangli, acting is secondary to marriage.
Yin Baolian's husband was not a member of the industry, and she never talked much about it, so the two of them got married and had children very quickly. After the 2000s, she finished her last movie, "Springtime", and her family moved to the United States.
Now the family lives abroad, and few people know that she used to be a very famous actress in Taiwan, resting on her laurels, is also the most comfortable and secure ending for an actress.
▲Yoon Po-Lin and her son.
Like Yin Baolian, "brother-in-law" Jiang Ming has gone from being a star to an ordinary person.
Back then, Jiang Ming was also quite handsome, and in a sensational "Qing Palace Dreams", Jiang Ming acted as Guangxu, which established the status of "emperor boy".
Jiang Ming and Pauline Wan's "past life" is the oldest "The Greatest Generation", which was the first time they worked together, and since then, they have been very close, and worked together in many works.
Jiang Ming is the image of a decent young man, thick eyebrows, big eyes, tall enough, in that year is very popular, and then took over the shooting of the "new white" is a big challenge, because it is necessary to change from the image of the decent to the style of comedy, and proved to be very good.
Only Jiang Ming also has a traditional heart, many men feel that acting is not a serious business, business is, Jiang Ming also in the most brilliant career when married, have children, open a beauty salon.
▲Jiang Ming's wife is Cai Huihua, also an actress, who played the role of the exterminator in 1984's "Yi Tian Tu Long Ji".
Jiang Ming opened a beauty salon is very hot, because his heterosexual edge, mother's edge is too good, how many female customers are rushing to the "emperor of the little boy" name to go, just to see Jiang Ming one side, willing to do card face.
Jiang Ming while doing business, while filming, career, nothing too big achievements, but also not willing to high-profile exposure, life is calm, comfortable and rich, not much gossip anecdotes, a wife, two children, a stable income, plain is the most true.
▲Attendance at the award ceremony.
Later, Jiang Ming gradually stopped filming as well. In 1996, he filmed Four Thousand Gold with Gui Yalei, Jia Jingwen and Yue Ling, and then moved to the United States with his wife and children as well.
▲Taiwan TV's "Four Thousand Gold" in 1997, starring Jiang Ming, Gui Yalei, Yue Ling, Zheng Jiayu, Jia Jingwen and Zhang Zhiyi.
In 2005, Jiang Ming married his daughter and returned to Shanghai. It is said that over the years Jiang Ming has not been in good health and has become a doctor after a long illness. He has taught himself acupuncture, traditional Chinese medicine, tuina and other techniques, often administering needles and treatments to people, making him a half-doctor.
At the wedding, Jiang Ming sideburns gray, a generation of young students, will become a grandfather, the entertainment circle is also the back waves rolling, belonging to his era, has been completely far away ......
Li Binghuai: the down and out son Selling Coffee
The brief fling between Qing and Mr. Zhang in "New White" is a small but impressive scene. In the script, Mr. Zhang was set up as a "flamboyant nobleman", who had to be very handsome and dashing in order to make even a "cold-blooded animal" fall in love with him.
But in reality, the casting of Lee Byung-hwa was a bit hasty.
Because Lee Byung-hwa is not an actor, but a stills artist who likes to do crafts and props. Only he is nearly one meter nine tall and good-looking, temporarily pulled by the director to play Zhang Gongzi, but also save a sum of money.
Performed the "New White", fame, Li Bing Hua also took a few plays, but because it is not a science class origin, and not much experience in the field, after all, is the business of the short board, acted and acted on the scene to no play.
▲ Zhang Ting and Lin Rui Yang starred in the "Golden Night".
▲Playing the role of Han Xiangzi in "Tie Qiao Li".
With no movie to shoot, there was no income. Lee Byung Wah later did business, relying on his brother's help to start a company, but ended up losing money and going bankrupt. In the end, he came up with a way to subsidize his family - going to the night market to set up a stall to sell coffee.
When you see the coffee stall he made, you know he's an old props master. ......
In fact, he's not a very good props master, but he's a very good props master. Li Bing Hua is not so down and out, then he made some rural drama, from the microblogging put out the photos, the family is also good, there is a daughter, the house is clean and spacious.
It's just that we can't tell if New White is a good thing or a bad thing for him, and if he didn't have "Mr. Zhang," maybe he would have been able to work as a stills photographer, and become a veteran of the industry year after year, and be able to continue to do that.
But he played Zhang Gong, fame is too big than the strength of the consequences is lost and delusion, want to be an actor all the time, all the time when handsome, want to play all the time explosion drama, perhaps life instead of more lost. intersected and then hurriedly parted to go on to their different lives.
Shi Naiwen, who played Chi Baoshan, died of cancer in his forties, and his information was so mysterious that he couldn't find much trace of it in the vast ocean of the online world, and only a staff member of ETTV wrote a blog to remember him.
▲The white shirt is Shi Naiwen.
Caiyin, the little maid by Hu Meniang's side, whose real name is Xu Huixuan, married well and has a husband who is a gaming company executive, and gave birth to a son and a daughter, who now lives permanently in Beijing because of her husband's work.
▲ Later also acted in the "Legend of Xiang Shuai".
Qian Demen, who played Fa Hai, never had any children of his own, and his two stepdaughters were born to his wife and her ex-husband. Later, Qian Demen gave up acting and drove a taxi in order to take care of his demented mother.
Qian Demen in his later years has been no different from millions of ordinary old man, at home with grandchildren, out of the dust, everyone seems to have forgotten that he once played the role of a so much hated by the people of the country.
He died of cancer in 2018.
How can I put it, there are some works that are destined to belong to memory, maybe it's not perfect, maybe it's long out of step with the times, maybe it's already showing its outdated values, but it's just so stalwart that no one can ever surpass it.
Because its value has long exceeded the work itself.
It not only bears the aesthetic, but also carries the most distinctive memories of the times for every ordinary person. Just as everyone's favorite song at the age of 17 is often a lifelong favorite, how can the New White, which we saw when we were young, be easily erased by time?
May every one of you who fantasizes that you are Bai Suzhen be well.
