"Family Glory" is a Hong Kong style family drama directed by Hong Jinpo, Cai Jingsheng and Zeng Minshan, starring Zhang Zhilin, Yang Qianyao, Li Caihua, Luo Ziyi, Xiong Dailin, Huang Haoran and Liang Jingqi.
"Family Glory" mainly takes the "sister flower" Zhen Xin (played by Yang Qianyao) and Jia Luoyi (played by Li Caihua) marrying into the "Wedding of the Century" of the Century Chaebol Ma Family on the same day, telling the family story of the ups and downs and solidarity between the three generations of the Ma family.
Three days after its broadcast, it rushed to the third place in the popularity list, and this TV series that recreates the most popular Hong Kong drama giants and business war themes twenty years ago is undoubtedly successful.
Integrating family disputes and business wars, multiple story lines are parallel
The first episode is the grand wedding scene of the first episode of the beauty pageant champion Zhen Xin and the runner-up Jia Luoyi who are married to the second son of the Ma Group, Ma Yaozu, and the third son, Ma Yaotang, which looks like a rich family with a bright surface, and under the bright and beautiful appearance, it is even more turbulent and dangerous.
First, Jia Luoyi received an unsigned gift - a birthday cake.
Then the Ma family's sister-in-law Ye Caiwei (Xiong Dailin) left a diamond bracelet, suspecting that zhen mother was framed for stealing.
At dinner, the Independent Commission Against Corruption suddenly came, saying that the three brothers of the Ma family were suspected of bribery, and all three were taken away for investigation, and the Ma family experienced a double day of sadness and joy within a day.
Hong Kong dramas have always been known for their strong plot, high density and fast pace. This time, "Family Glory" increased its "firepower" and adopted multiple story lines to unfold in parallel.
On the surface, the three brothers of the Ma family are fighting openly and secretly, and each one has done their own magic for the company's share.
At the same time, Zhen Xin, who seems to be married into a rich family, and Jia Luoyi are a pair of plastic sisters.
Ma's daughter-in-law Ye Caiwei and the eldest miss Ma Zhaoci must declare their sovereignty from time to time and not be left behind.
Nephew Ma Zhanhong (Zhang Zhilin) faces the family property being swallowed up, and takes revenge on the family property.
There are also various dog blood scenes such as "the original second-room concubine and the daughter are inferior and inferior" and "the little daughter enters the rich for revenge", which brings together a drama that integrates business wars, families, and suspense, creating a different big family.
The lineup is strong, and many characters have a distinct sense of layering
"Family Glory" continues to use the old drama bones of the TVB acting school to support this scene. The first is Zhang Zhilin, who plays his nephew Ma Zhanhong this time, who grew up with the second eldest of the Ma family and has a close relationship, which is a very complicated role.
Ma Zhanhong, who seems to be on the sidelines in the turmoil, has amazing secrets. Unable to have the family property and the woman he likes, and to force a smile in front of the Ma family brothers, Zhang Zhilin is also a good and evil eye play, playing a black belly, revenge "villain" is quite wonderful and eye-catching, and it is difficult to interpret this role without enough skill.
Li Caihua, who played "Ellie" in "The Temptation to Go Home", and Yang Qianyao, the actor of "Yao Jinling" in "Palace Heart Plan", this time in the play, they partnered for many years to become concubines, and under the new identity, how the two "heart attack masters" stirred up the storm and attracted people's imagination.
Li Caihua is like a frozen age, in the play to play an orphan from an insecure tycoon third daughter-in-law, for their own interests constantly playing with right and wrong, with ten years ago "The Temptation to Go Home" Ellie a lot of shadows, this role is very sad, but also very brilliant, Li Caihua in many performances to play well.
Yang Xiyao's second sister-in-law Zhen Xin, the appearance of a beautiful, wise, kind in one of the big heroine, on the surface has been calculated by the third sister-in-law, should not be a fuel-saving lamp, according to the development of the plot, it is very likely to be a pig eating tiger role.
"Family Glory" presents the dark and dark side of human nature's greed, vanity, and jealousy with high-IQ duels and business battles, and at the same time, power brings many tests to humanity, and there is no lack of sincere feelings between people. Let the audience not only savor the warmth and coldness of human feelings, but also reflect on the difficult proposition that desire and true feelings are entangled.
Whether it is the lineup or acting skills, "Family Glory" is undoubtedly the opening work of 2022, and the suspense and reverse narrative techniques concocted by the director are full of suspense for the play, worthy of the new year's unique audio-visual feast.
