On May 27, the "Friends" reunion special program was broadcast simultaneously in China and North America at 15:02 Beijing time. It has been 27 years since the premiere of "Friends" in 1994, and there are still a large number of viewers who still remember it, and it is an irreplaceable classic in everyone's mind.
However, when the "Friends" reunion special program was broadcast, the discussion about the Chinese version of "Friends" was on fire, and netizens began to recall the classic film and television dramas they had watched. In the minds of many people, some programs are called the Chinese version of "Friends", and they are also classics in the minds of a generation.
I. "The Tale of Wulin"
On January 2, 2006, a program was silently launched on CCTV Eight. Now, 15 years after it was broadcast, it still ranks first in the Douban high-scoring Chinese drama list with a high score of 9.6. This show is "The Tale of Wulin".
In these 15 years, it has been looped by countless people, when happy, sad, bored, at any moment, can not be without its figure, even its opening and ending songs we are not willing to skip. Whenever we hear the phrase "Hey, brother, we haven't seen each other for a long time, where are you", we will recall the story that happened in that little Tongfu Inn, recall them in that inn, "I was wrong, I was really wrong" Tong Xiangyu, "Sunflower Point Cave Hand" Bai Zhantang, "Mountains and Seas" Guo Furong, "Zi once knew" Lu Xiucai, "This matter wrapped up in me" Li Dazui.
Where are the rivers and lakes? Where they are there is the jianghu. Their story will be mentioned every year, in almost every hot search has its figure, by netizens laughed at as there is no martial arts outside the hot spot, but also by countless netizens as "eternal god".
In the eightieth episode of "Wulin Wai Biao", Lao Bai, who was hit by "Killing Qingsan", said that there was no antidote to this poison, "Killing Qing" and "Scattering", which meant that the story of "Wulin WaiChuan" ended here.
"Friends" can be reunited after 33 years, but "Wulin Wai Biography" will not have it again, not because the actors who played them cannot be reunited, but because the "they" in the story are no longer there. There are too many unsatisfactory things in the world, but our lives still have to go on. The story of "The Tale of Wulin" is gone, but our story is still in progress.
2. "The Story of the Cooking Class"
As the first military-themed sitcom in China, "The Story of the Cooking Class", which premiered in 2002, is undoubtedly a milestone in the history of TELEVISION dramas. Its story takes place in a small cooking squad in the air force's grassroots company, each of them is special, and their story is beyond replication. This is the class leader Fat Hong, who wants to calmly deal with the big and small affairs that happen in the class but can't handle it well, the deputy class elder who "doesn't want to be the class leader is not a good classmate", the small hair with a big idea, the handsome beard, the little ginger who eats and drinks in his eyes, and the story of the enthusiastic and capable big week.
Different from the serious and upright military image created in the military theme film and television drama, it makes us unconsciously awe-inspired, their stories have a great sense of distance from us, but they are laughing and close in "The Story of the Cooking Class".
It allows us to see their daily lives as soldiers in private, they also have a serious and upright side, but in private they will also fight together, laugh together and suffer together. This is the real military life, this is the real image of the soldiers, under the green uniform, they are also young men who are in their youth.
III. "Ode to Joy"
Unlike the fictional inn life in "The Tale of Wulin" and the green barracks in "The Story of the Cooking Class", the story background of "Ode to Joy" is closer to our lives. They are five girls living in the city with very different ages, personalities, and backgrounds, such as Andy, a strong returnee, Qu Xiaoxiu, a rich second-generation, Fan Shengmei, a "Hutong Princess", Qiu Yingying, a "child of a small town", and Guan Juer, a well-behaved woman.
Each of us can see our own shadow in them, they are the epitome of the Chinese general public, there are struggles at the bottom of the workplace, and there is also self-confidence in the high. The world they live in is almost indistinguishable from our lives. In "The Tale of Wulin" and "The Story of the Cooking Class", we see more ideals and laughter from life, but in "Ode to Joy" we see reality. Life is bitter and sweeter, and it is worth fighting for.
The launch of the "Friends" reunion special program has satisfied everyone's long-standing hearts and minds and made up for the regrets in everyone's mind. In fact, whether it is "Friends" or the Chinese version of "Friends", they are irreplaceable classics in our hearts, and they have accompanied us through countless journeys in life. At the end of the song, people will disperse, and the story will always end, but we will always remember the years with their company.
