If you want to say how American dramas began to become popular on a large scale in China, it is impossible to trace back to the source without mentioning a divine drama of that year - "Prison Break".
Xiaobian feels that if the "Root" introduced in the 80s allowed the Chinese people to see the "plot picture" of European and American TV dramas for the first time, then "Prison Break" is the first time that the Chinese people have seen the "thrilling" of European and American TV dramas.
Especially in the first season, the suffocating tension is still fresh in people's minds even after more than a decade. At that time, the whole people began to learn English began to popularize, and many young people clicked on the play with the idea of edutainment, and then... It is concluded that this play is not suitable for learning English... The powerful plot makes people feel that they have long forgotten what they are here for.
Xiaobian recalled the grand situation when chasing the drama at that time, when the network video was not as developed as it is now, and the American drama had almost no copyright, but even if it was only for one episode a week to buy a "Pirate version of the disc", it was not tired, and replacing the mobile phone ringtone with the opening music of the play was the most popular thing at that time.
The most successful and impressive characters in the play are not the protagonist Gully Fly, but the villain T-BAG, the true and false good and evil beauty and ugliness of human beings are combined, and the classic degree is not inferior to the Ding Crab in Big Time.
Robert Kneipp, the actor who played the role, said that his acting career did not want to be defined by this role, and now as soon as the audience sees him, they will immediately think of T-BAG and immediately hide away, which makes him very embarrassed, as if he has only played such a bad guy in his life.
However, the signature licking and pulling of the pants pocket is too deeply rooted in people's hearts, like a nightmare, and it is impossible to forget.
After the role of T-BAG became popular all over the world, Robert Kneipp himself was also in trouble. At the end of 2017, just after the end of "Prison Break Season 5", Robert Kneipp suffered a lawsuit - suspected of sexual assault. The victim said that 25 years ago, Robert Kneipp had "misbehaved" with her and that witnesses had seen the victim 'trembling with fear'.
25 years ago... Xiaobian said that even if this matter is true, I am afraid that it has passed the forensic period, right? Afterwards, Robert Kneipp said that he was shocked and innocent, and the agency also said that after an internal investigation, it really did not find any evidence that he had done it.
This lawsuit is now closed because of insufficient evidence, but in the end it still affected his career, after all, there is no wind and no waves, since it is falsely accused, then why do not dare to sue the "victim" in turn? After all, this has ruined his reputation.
"Prison Break Season 6" has officially entered the preparatory stage, but Robert Kneipp has not been found on the starring list, but the popular character "Inspector Ma Hong" in previous seasons has the possibility of returning. If Robert Kneipp had been completely hidden by the company because of this, it would have been difficult to see the actor again...
