Guangdong TV has many husband and wife partners who are very familiar to Guangdong audiences, such as the hosts Liu Jingdong and Yu Ming, Liang Yu and Yunfei, Xue Le and Liu Yingting, etc., and in terms of Local Actors in Guangdong, the couple with the highest appearance rate is undoubtedly Su Zhidan and Hu Yanfen. From the beginning of the filming of "Foreign Drama" to the present, Su Zhidan and Hu Yanfen have accompanied the audience for the third decade.
The two of them met through the Guangzhou Repertory Theatre, when Hu Yanfen was fifteen and Su Zhidan was thirty, and later both of them went to the Guangdong Provincial Repertory Theatre. Su Zhidan had a failed marriage before marrying Hu Yanfen, and Su Zhidan did not want to mention his past marriage experience.
Before filming "Foreign Daughter-in-law Local Lang", the two of them were already actors familiar to Guangdong audiences, and they had filmed many sets of TV series such as "Kaleidoscope", "Shunyi Fang", "The Richest Man's Home" and "Sha Li Brothers" together.
Compared with "Foreign Drama", the TV series they made before were too short, and the longest group of scenes that Hu Yanfen had ever filmed before was "Hong Kong Di En Vengeance" in 1987, but it was only a few months, and the previous filming speed was very slow, and "Hong Kong Di En Vengeance" was only 18 episodes in total.
Su Zhidan played the male protagonist in "The Richest Man's Home" and "Sha Li Brothers", especially the TV series "The Richest Man's Home", which reflects the rural life and style of the Pearl River Delta, can be called a local classic, which is another gorgeous picture of the Rural Areas of Guangdong in the new era after "Cold and Warm Two Hearts" and "Love Full of Pearl River". Su Zhidan's role as Mai Canming, the richest man in the village, can be said to be a classic role.
This family scene, which claims to have the highest ratings, the most wide influence, the longest broadcast time, the largest number of episodes and the best economic benefits in the history of Chinese television, "Foreign Daughter-in-law Local Lang", has been broadcast for 21 years, and it is still far away.
Su Zhidan, who once served as the head of the Guangdong Provincial Repertory Theatre, once revealed that because of the filming of "Foreign Drama", he even resigned from the position of the head of the troupe, he said: "Our colleagues in the drama troupe are not highly paid, many actors rely on outside performances to maintain their lives, and our performance opportunities are not much, as their leader, I should have led them to find more performance opportunities, and even more could not be fixed to shoot "Foreign Drama" and delay the income of other colleagues, so I chose to resign. ”
And Hu Yanfen is even more blunt, because the filming of "Foreign Daughter-in-law Local Lang" has cut off all the retreats, she said: "In the past, I was very familiar with many screenwriters, directors and actors in the mainland, and they often invited me to shoot, but since the filming of "Foreign Drama", many people invited me to shoot I said that I was not available, and slowly they did not contact me anymore, and now even their contact information is gone. ”
In the past, Guangdong Television has produced many TV dramas that are worthy of guangdong people's remembrance, and from the perspective of short dramas alone, "Jokes", "The Legend of Sun Xiucai" and "Kaleidoscope" are all unforgettable classics of Guangdong people. And in the future, "Foreign Daughter-in-law Local Lang" will also become a nostalgic classic of Cantonese people? Obviously, the answer is definitely no, because they never give us a chance to get nostalgic.
Su Zhidan, who was born in 1953, is 68 years old this year, and Hu Yanfen, who was born in 1968, is now 53 years old. I don't know if Su Zhidan will sigh that life is seventy years old, I guess he has the heart of "old and strong, rather than knowing the white head; Poor and strong, do not fall into the ambition of the clouds" mentality. But many post-80s generations have already lamented that they are old.
