What comes to mind when it comes to Smile Pasta?
Is it the first understanding of pasta, is it the attitude of "it's no big deal to laugh", or is it the happy pair of turtle sister and broom star?
Recently, the video of Zhang Dongliang singing "Little Turtle" appeared on the hot search, triggering the memory of netizens to kill. As soon as the prelude sounded, certain romantic memories engraved in the DNA were already stirring.
When I was a child, I always felt that He Qun was neither handsome nor domineering, nor cool at all (sorry, blind in childhood); when I grew up, I found that a gentle and tolerant boy was even more precious.
Re-watching "Smile Pasta", I finally understood He Qun's gentleness and Zhang Dongliang's charm.
In fact, 15 years later, the plot of "Smile Pasta" is really cheesy enough - big stars fall in love with ordinary girls. But in this awkward and illogical plot, the feeling of first love is still throbbing.
In particular, He Qun, the little king of the music world played by Zhang Dongliang, is a rare gentle male protagonist in ancient Taiwanese idol dramas.
How gentle is He Qun?
Cheng Xiaoshi was split by her boyfriend, because she did not want to disappoint her family and worry, she asked He Qun to take her in.
At this time, the two people met for the first time, and He Qun, as a big star, did not need to pay attention to the requests of strangers. But when Dang Xiaoshi stopped his car, he immediately softened. (Of course, the first episode of the first episode is not soft)
After taking it home, Cheng Xiaoshi hopes that He Qun can pretend to be her boyfriend to fool through the pass. The same cold rejection, the same second of softness.
Cheng Xiaoshi ran the last place in the school marathon, and was punished to wear a turtle suit to circle the school on the first day of school, and as a result, she fell on all fours and eight forks just after running a few steps.
When the whole school laughed at her, He Qun climbed up to the top to take off the shoes that had been thrown off for Cheng Xiaoshi, and crouched down to put them on for her, as if a prince had found Cinderella.
Even with such a nonsensical plot as pulling Cheng Xiaoshi with his ex-boyfriend, He Qun will let go of it for the first time when Cheng Xiaoshi shouts "pain". In the face of the safety of the lover, winning and losing is worthless.
He Qun's gentleness is not only for Cheng Xiaoshi.
His ex-girlfriend greened him and threw himself into his brother's arms. His first reaction was not resentment, but admonition to his brother to treat others well;
If there is a misunderstanding with his brother, he will apologize for the first time;
When he goes to the pharmacy to buy medicine, the salesman takes the wrong medicine, he will first say "I'm sorry" and then explain what medicine he needs.
When I was a child, I thought that my domineering and cold brother who would fight was cool, and when I grew up, I learned that the gentle and cultured He Qun was the luminous body.
He Qun's personality charm has the credit of the script and also benefits from zhang Dongliang's own temperament.
It is said that when looking for a male lead for "Smile Pasta", the director hopes to choose an actor with a similar experience to the role, preferably a popular newcomer singer.
At that time, Malaysian singer Zhang Dongliang had just come to China to develop, and the cover song "Who You Will Remember When You Are Lonely" was extremely popular, so he got an audition opportunity.
With a gentle voice, Zhang Dongliang conquered the director and later the audience. In particular, He Qun's angelic smile also earned him the title of "Smiling Prince".
Like He Qun, Zhang Dongliang in real life also has a dedication to music and a gentle heart.
When the fans on the stage send flowers at the concert, he will crouch down to receive the flowers, and whisper an apology "Sorry, it's too dark to see";
Sing the songs from your first album and sing them to tears.
Probably because they cry almost every time they hold a concert, fans even held up signs that read," "Warning not to cry and run nose."
However, even the most gentle person will be tired.
During the most popular period, Zhang Dongliang was required by the company to show his teeth and smile at least 66 times a day, coupled with intensive music and filming schedules, which made him almost depressed.
So after the contract with the company expired, he chose to leave temporarily and go to the United States to study.
Making such a decision is not easy for a popular artist. Looking back now, even he admires the courage of the time.
Returning two years later, Zhang Dongliang returned as a musician, although his popularity was no longer as good as before, but slowing down was better.
In recent years, Zhang Dongliang's focus has been basically in Malaysia, so that many people feel that he has passed.
In fact, in recent years, his album has won awards, held several concerts, and served as a mentor in music programs. Focus on music, enjoy life, and live the most comfortable self.
Perhaps in the parallel world, He Qun is also continuing his musical career in this state.
Looking back at the classic Taiwanese idol dramas of that year, although the plot is really dog blood, the three views may not be correct, but the male protagonists have their own characteristics.
Shan Junhao of "The Prince Becomes a Frog", the idol drama overbearing president ceiling, overbearing and powerful and very cultivated;
Jiang Naoki of "Mischievous Kiss", a representative of the genius bully, arrogant and poisonous tongue but silently guarding;
Lu Zihao of "The Wedding Dress of Heaven", the live-action version of Prince Charming, the noble prince fell in love with Cinderella.
……
They have different personalities and different backgrounds, but they give the heroine the same tenderness.
In contrast, some idol dramas in the mainland have learned dog blood and pretending to be cool, but they have not learned to express love. They take rudeness as concern, rudeness as personality, full of eyes only thinking about how to show their handsomeness, but forget that the most need to show is love.
The domineering president is the same, and the gentle affection is one of the best.
Perhaps this is also the reason why we will still miss Taiwan's ancient idol dramas many years later.
