The TV series "Old Girlfriend", which has attracted the attention of old movie fans, is finally going to meet with the audience.
Written by Lu Dong and Wang Ying and directed by Qiao Liang, the drama has attracted the attention of many old fans since the press conference was held on December 26, 2018.
Qiao Liang is a very thoughtful director, and many popular dramas directed by him, such as "New Door Son-in-Law" starring Pan Hong, Zhang Xinyi and Zhang Yi, and "What New to Save You, My Love" starring Jia Nailiang and Zhang Xinyi, are deeply loved by the audience. He is the son of the famous director Qiao Keji, who directed dramas such as "Killing The Machine", "Operation Missionless", "Strange Wolf", etc., which have also left an impression on fans.
However, I think the biggest selling point of the show is the gathering of the "five golden flowers" who were active in the film industry in the 80s, they are Pan Hong, Wang Fuli, Song Xiaoying, Xu Di and Wu Mian. These five actors, each with charm and style, are all known for their superb acting skills. Director Qiao Liang "gathered" them together and played on the same stage, what kind of "chemical reaction" will occur? With the launch of "Old Girlfriend", they will appear one by one, debut in ink, and will also reveal the answer for us.
Among these five golden flowers, my personal favorite actor is Pan Hong.
She has a very unique charm on her body, like a daffodil, high, arrogant, and independent. We can't forget her role as Lu Wenting in the 1982 film "Middle-Aged", and she vividly showed Lu Wenting's embarrassment, forbearance, persistence and noble character through her profound and introverted performance. At that time, she was only 26 years old, but she interpreted the true state of a middle-aged female intellectual, which was shocking.
We can't forget her role as Xu Lisha in her 1987 film The Well, in which she portrayed a female engineer trapped in a worldly well and unable to resist.
There are also "Du Shiniang", "Cold Night", "The Last Queen", "The Last Nobleman", etc., these movies let us see the great energy of Pan Hong to create a tragic role, and also feel the super explosive power hidden under her weak appearance. To say that she was one of the best actors in China in the 80s, I think no one would object. In 1983 and 1988, she won the Golden Rooster Award for Film Queen, which is the best proof of her performance.
In Pan Hong, there is also a particularly admirable point, that is, as she grows older, she will very naturally adjust the play path and accept middle-aged and elderly roles. Unlike some actors of the same era, no matter how old they are, they do not let go of young roles. It can be seen that Pan Hong really loves acting, rather than valuing self-expression. Later, her performances in the TV series "Qingyi" and "When the Mother-in-Law Meets the Mother" also left an unforgettable impression on us.
Some people say that Pan Hong's performance in some TV series is a bit overheated. I think it's her unique style of acting. She can always play that kind of well-behaved and stubborn role to the extreme, and it is difficult to achieve her effect as another actor.
This time, in "Old Girlfriend", Pan Hong still continues her familiar drama path, playing a goddess-like character with inner pain but still loves life, named Irene. But I don't know what kind of surprises Pan Hong will bring to us this time?
Compared with Pan Hong, Song Xiaoying gave me the feeling that I have always been so idyllic and elegant, like Qiu Ju. She was also a well-known film actress in the 80s, and her roles in films such as "Ya Ya", "Sari Marco", "Wedding on the Execution Ground", "Heart of Suffering", "Ward Sixteen", "Sunset Street", "Smile in the Candlelight" and other films are also so unique and unforgettable.
Song Xiaoying has all the advantages of a movie star, she has a dignified and beautiful appearance, a fresh and unworldly temperament, and her performance is also "very heartfelt", whether it is playing a rural female teacher or shaping an urban white-collar worker, she can achieve both gods and shapes. It reflects the superb acting skills of a professional actor.
In "Old Girlfriend", Song Xiaoying starred as Song Lina, a retired teacher with a girlish heart. This character, unlike the role played by Song Xiaoying in the past, is very different, a little playful, a little contrived, but very cute. This makes everyone more full of expectations for her performance in the play.
Wang Fuli is an actor with a wide range of plays. In her artistic experience, she has created a variety of roles, but what is more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people is the image of a series of "virtuous wives and good mothers", such as Lu Ruifen in "The Golden Light Avenue", Song Wei in "The Legend of Tianyun Mountain", the four girls in "Xu Mao and His Daughters", Tang Wan in "The Flow of Eternity", and the chrysanthemum in "Our Cow Hundred Years".
Wang Fuli has a gentle appearance and a simple and delicate performance, like a lilac flower, refreshing the heart. This time, in "Old Girlfriend", she played Aunt Mei, a coffee shop owner, a lonely old man who lost his beloved son. I believe that through Wang Fuli's sincere and moving performance, it will definitely make more audiences resonate.
Xu Di is a drama actor who in the 1980s played roles in "He Has No Wind and RainCoats" and "The Camera Reaches out to the Courtyard". He also starred in "Love You Is Not Negotiable" with Song Dandan and others. However, she has attracted the attention of more audiences, or after participating in "The First Half of My Life", with her comedic performance, she presented us with a very distinctive image of "Shanghai Mother-in-Law". She also won the Best Supporting Actress Award at the 24th Shanghai TV Festival "Magnolia Award".
In "Old Girlfriend", Xu Di plays a retired doctor with a strong personality and is always accustomed to saying one thing and not two. But she is also very sincere and enthusiastic, so several girlfriends also like her. This time, what kind of different feelings will Xu Di bring to us?
There is also Wu Mian, although she is not the most popular actress, she still exudes a charming fragrance like a osmanthus flower. On the big screen and small screen in the 1980s and 1990s, a series of unforgettable artistic images were still created for us, such as Fang Fang in "July Flowing Fire", Wu Xiaohui in "Special Zone Girl", Shu Huan in "Looking for Man", Caiyun in "Hanzheng Street", Jin Guihua in "Shanghai Family", Ling Shanshan in "Debt", Tong Jianlan in "Children's Love", etc.
Her performances are always so relaxed and just right. In "Old Girlfriend", she will also challenge a new role - a "Chinese mother" red sister she has never played before, who constantly worries about her family, but also leaves a lot of complaints, which is a typical knife mouth tofu heart, I believe that when you see this role, everyone will think of their mother.
In addition to these five golden flowers in the 80s, many old drama bones have also joined the "Old Girlfriend" crew. Among them, Wang Shihuai was also an actor who was very familiar and loved by the audience in the 80s, and played the male protagonist Fang Dasheng in the movie "Sunrise", and was one of the bosses of the former film studio. And this time, he will play Zhang Zehua in "Old Girlfriend", deeply in love with Irene played by Pan Hong. But I don't know how the cooperation between these two well-known actors will bring us feelings?
Feng Qian, an actor from the Guangdong Repertory Theatre, has played roles in film and television dramas such as "The Pretender", "Tea House", "Dark Fragrance", "Phoenix Qin", "Ten Thousand Family Lights" and so on. This time, he will be paired with Song Xiaoying to play Song Lina's old partner Bao Yugang, who is always helpless in front of the thinking-skipping teacher Song. Think about that picture, it's coke enough.
The actor who played the husband of The Red Sister Lao Huang in "Old Girlfriend" is also an old drama bone, named Ma Shuliang, who has participated in film and television dramas such as "Family with Children", "The Legend of the New White Lady", "My Motherland and Me" and so on. He is now a national first-class actor at the National Drama Theatre of China.
There is also Cheng Guodong, who plays Lin Qingshan, an old drama bone born in the army's cultural and industrial troupe, who has been in the arts for many years and has starred in film and television dramas such as "The Spring of Li Spring", "Three Kingdoms", "You Are My Brother", "The Most Beautiful" and so on. This time, his role in "Old Girlfriend" is very charismatic, he is always so optimistic, open-minded and cheerful, living the simplest life, but his heart is extremely full. I am looking forward to Cheng Guodong's performance and the role he portrays.
It is understood that "Old Girlfriend" will start broadcasting on Shanghai Oriental Film and Television Channel on May 8, 2020, on May 11, on Shenyang Television News Comprehensive Channel, and on May 23, it will be broadcast on Shenzhen Television Station City Channel. Are you like me, curious about what kind of story the "girlfriend group" composed of Pan Hong, Song Xiaoying, Wang Fuli, Xu Di, and Wu Mian will interpret? What kind of wonderful performance will these post-film actors, the five golden flowers of the 80s, have? And what kind of touching will it bring us? Let's wait and see.
