One winter in the 1990s, when I was still in elementary school, a TV series called "A Heroic Mu Guiying" was broadcast on television and soon became the main TV drama watched by the family in prime time.
This drama comes from Taiwan, a treasure island in China, and is mainly performed by some actors from Taiwan. If we compare costume dramas, it is not difficult to find that Taiwan's repertoire will add a lot of literary and artistic styles, unlike Hong Kong costume martial arts dramas.
When I was a child, I watched this drama, and did not understand what love and love it was, mainly watching the fierce war and fight scenes in the play, along with the in-depth development of the plot, when I was young, I already had a preliminary understanding of what is good, what is bad, what is loyalty, and what is adultery. When I see that Mu Guiying and the Yang family will make great contributions to the Great Song Dynasty, I will be happy to follow the plot, and when I see that Mu Guiying and the Yang family will be framed by traitors and imprisoned, I will also grit my teeth at the evil people in the play. Almost wholeheartedly, I was pulled by this drama.
Although he is young and ignorant, through this play, and through the vague knowledge, between heaven and earth, there is both loyalty and treachery; there are both right and evil ways. At the end of the story, it is often the victory of good over evil.
In addition, when my family watched this drama, I constantly listened to the elders in the family tell some legendary stories about The Yang Family General, and through these, I learned more and more about the legends of the Yang Family General and Mu Guiying.
Nowadays, the story of Yang Jiajun not only occupies an important position in traditional Chinese folklore, but also becomes an important source of material for today's costume-themed film and television creation. In the 1990s, Hong Kong film and television institutions unexpectedly combined the legend of Yang Jiajiang and Bao Qingtian, the two major IPs, to create the TV series "Green Blood Qingtian Yang Jiajian", which was a sensation.
Continue to learn about "A Heroic Mu Guiying", as a once influential costume drama, the creation of this drama also brings together a group of very good actors. The main ones are:
Wei Qiuhua plays Mu Guiying
Personally, I feel that this Mu Guiying played by Wei Qiuhua can be called the most classic of all the film and television dramas mu Guiying's version so far. As a well-known actor in Hong Kong, Wei Qiuhua has played many classic roles in her acting career, such as Huang Rong in Gu Tianle's version of "Divine Eagle Hero" and Japanese female spies in "The Great Hero Huo Yuanjia". Wei Qiuhua, who has a good appearance and temperament, is particularly good at playing costume dramas. Whether it is a heroine or a pearlescent lady, she interprets it freely and very decently. In recent years, Wei Qiuhua has long faded out of the film and television industry.
Zhang Zhenhuan plays Yang Zongbao
Yang Zongbao, played by the well-known Taiwanese actor Zhang Zhenhuan, is also a very classic role in the play, and Zhang Zhenhuan left a deeper impression on the mainland audience than he played Ma Xinyi's brother Guan Yunbao in the LATER TV series "Thorn Horse".
Jin Chaoqun plays Kou Zhun
When participating in this "A Heroic Mu Guiying", Jin Chaoqun played the role of the Northern Song Dynasty famous Xiang Kou Zhun, although it was not as classic and popular as Bao Qingtian, who he played in the future, but with this role, it is presumably That Jin Chaoqun has already arrived at the feeling early, laying the foundation for his next starring role in Bao Qingtian.
Long Long plays Yang Yanzhao
Long Long is a famous old drama bone in Taiwan, has starred in many classic costume dramas, the more famous is "Bao Qingtian", with a polite temperament, Long Long often participates in the role of Wang Ye in costume dramas.
Fan Hongxuan plays Song Zhenzong
Later, Gongsun Ce, one of the iron triangles of the "Bao Qingtian" crew, played Fan Hongxuan, who also played emperor Zhenzong of the Northern Song Dynasty in the play.
After nearly thirty years, this TV series from Taiwan in China, "A Heroic Mu Guiying", is still deeply imprinted in the minds of many audiences.
