Women have Qiong Yao, men have Haiyan, they are popular in an era of famous writers + famous screenwriters.
If the Qiong Yao drama exerts the entangled love and love to the extreme, then the Haiyan drama is more realistic and profound, he combines love with law and morality, no matter how entangled the love story, the core is Wei Guangzheng and the thinking of human nature.
In 1987, Haiyan's first novel, "Plainclothes Policeman", was adapted to the screen, which opened his prosperity.
He worked as a prison guard in his early years, so many of his protagonists are policemen, and the main line of the story is criminal investigation, such as "Plainclothes Policeman", "Jade Guanyin", "Never Look Away" and so on.
"Plainclothes Police" is only 12 episodes long, and the story revolves around the experience of young policeman Zhou Zhiming, which is integrated into the background of the times at that time, which is both real and gripping. Although most people still had black-and-white television sets at home at that time, they did not stop the audience's enthusiasm for watching the drama.
The drama can be described as acclaimed and well-received, and in the same year, it won the third prize of the 8th National Excellent TV Series "Feitian Award", the 6th Golden Eagle Award of Popular Television, and the first Golden Shield Film and Television Award of the Ministry of Public Security. Hu Yajie, the male protagonist who is still in his junior year at Nortel, became a hit, and the ending song "Young Ambitions Don't Say Anything" sung by 24-year-old Liu Huan has become a golden song that all ages can sing.
Time flies, and now that it has been 35 years since the premiere of the show, what is the current status of the main creators in the show?
1. Hu Yajie as Zhou Zhiming
Zhou Zhiming was originally a policeman with a bright future, but he was unjustly sentenced to 15 years in prison for no reason. During his imprisonment, the old father could not bear the blow and died of illness, in order not to involve his girlfriend Shi Xiaomeng, he tearfully proposed to break up.
In prison, Zhou Zhiming was deliberately humiliated by other prisoners, and his spirit and body were greatly traumatized, but he could infect others wherever he went. Later, he was rehabilitated, grew up all the way, became a good policeman, and got back together with his girlfriend Shi Xiaomeng.
Hu Yajie was 24 years old when the drama was filmed, and he was still a student who was not deeply involved in the world. At that time, filming paid attention to experiencing life, because Zhou Yaming had the life experience of being a policeman and being unjustly imprisoned, and Hu Yajie really went to the police station as a policeman and a prisoner in prison.
At that time, in order to ensure that he was not treated specially, he only explained his identity to the director, and the other prison guards regarded him as a real prisoner. As soon as he entered, he was stripped naked and inspected, and from that moment on, he immediately entered the role and felt the humiliation of Zhou Yaming.
He had just been bullied inside for a few days, and when everyone stopped being caught bullying him, he looked around at the more than 30 prisoners in a circle and found that one of them was the prisoner he had tried when he was experiencing his identity as a policeman. This discovery frightened him for several days, for fear of being retaliated against by this man, and later the brother told him "There is no rest on Saturday" when he was releasing the grass, so that he let down his guard, and it turned out that the brother thought that he was going undercover.
This experience provided strong support for him to later shape the role, and Zhou Yaming's grievances, fortitude and tenacity were vividly interpreted by him. Coupled with his sunny and handsome appearance, he became the dream lover of countless people after the show was broadcast.
At the same time, the drama won him the title of the second national TV top ten actors, and was nominated for the Golden Eagle Award for Best Actor. It can be said that before he left the school, he was already all over the country.
After graduating the following year, he was assigned to the Repertory Theatre of the Political Department of the Air Force, after which he continued to shine in the TV drama market while performing dramas on a small stage, and in those years he starred in many film and television dramas such as "Bloody Morning", "Old Lady Soil", "Cordon" and so on.
Although compared with the later "rock boys" of Lu Yi and Tong Dawei, his works of the first "rock boys" are not highly prolific and the exposure is not high enough, but his works are of high quality. The image he has created has always been manly, and even playing a villain is not hated.
He is 59 years old this year, and he has gradually retreated to the second line, and he has been in the past two years in "Glory and Dreams", "Armageddon", "Autumn Cicada" and other dramas.
Compared with those male stars who are red and floating, he has always been an honest and low-key good actor. Outside the scene, he and his wife Tang Jing have been in love for decades, and he has not even passed on the scandal for many years when he has been filming outside.
2. Tan Xiaoyan as Shi Xiaomeng
Shi Xiaomeng, played by Tan Xiaoyan, is Zhou Zhiming's girlfriend, and when Zhou Zhiming was wronged, she has always been inseparable from him despite her family's obstruction. In order not to hinder her future, Zhou Zhiming has been pushing her out, but the two eventually came together.
Tan Xiaoyan is a folk dancer, graduated in 1982 and was assigned to the Hainan Song and Dance Troupe, and the following year she participated in the movie "The Shore of the South" by chance, and has since embarked on the road of acting.
In the mid-1980s, she participated in films such as "Zhenzhen's Hair House" and "A Generation of Winds", although it was not a big hit, but it was also a little famous.
When she heard the news that "Plainclothes Police" was picking actors, she also went to register, and later heard that director Lin Ruwei was a well-known strict director in the circle, she felt that she was not a professional actor, it was likely to be difficult to enter the director's eyes, so she took the initiative to give up the opportunity to go home for the Spring Festival.
It happened that during the Spring Festival that year, her father took the radio every day to listen to Haiyan's novel, and she listened to it and felt that she seemed to be able to play the role of Shi Xiaomeng, so as soon as the Spring Festival ended, she quickly contacted the crew. Just at that time, the heroine had not yet found a suitable candidate, and the director arranged for her to audition in the past.
She went to try the scene where Shi Xiaomeng went to visit Zhou Zhiming on the laogai farm, and although the scene and the opponent actors were very strange to her, she quickly entered the play, crying tears, so that the director made a decision on the spot to let her play the heroine.
After the show aired, she became famous, and then she starred in movies such as "Reincarnation" and "Journey to the South", and her popularity went to a higher level. Outside the play, she was also a famous "calendar goddess" at that time, on a par with Fu Yiwei.
At that time, she was only in her twenties, and she had all the fame and fortune in her pockets, but she was a girl who was born restless, and one day she suddenly felt that such a life was not interesting, so she opened a film and television company as the boss.
Just as the so-called interlacing is like a mountain, her company even failed miserably in three plays, and the company went bankrupt in minutes. After the failure of the business operation, just in time for the enthusiasm of going abroad at that time, she also went to many countries abroad with the current, and it was five or six years.
In 2000, she made a comeback through Yu Wen and participated in dramas such as "Li Wei Dangguan 2", "Yue Wang Gou Jian", "Baolian Lantern Prequel" and so on, but did not set off any splashes.
In 2014, she faded out of the stage after participating in "The Mekong Case" and "The Direction of Happiness", and now she is working behind the scenes as a director and producer. At the same time, she is also a promoter of Li culture.
She was one of the most beautiful and dazzling female stars of the 1980s, and she was over fifty years old when she was in "The Mekong Case" in 2014, but it can be seen that she is very well maintained, her face is not broken, and her figure is the same as before.
However, after fifty years, her figure was blessed with some great luck, and the years did not let go of this beauty after all.
3. Song Chunli as Yan Jun
Yan Jun is a colleague of Zhou Zhiming's, a female policewoman. She is Zhou Zhiming's admirer, helping him take care of his old father after Zhou Zhiming was imprisoned and running for him. Later, she knew that his relationship with Shi Xiaomeng did not interfere with it, but provided them with a lot of convenience, and the persona was very pleasing.
Yan Chun's actor Song Chunli has had many years of military career, and playing this role can also be regarded as a hand to hand. At the age of 13, she entered the military camp as a literary and artistic soldier, and was later assigned to the Guangzhou Military Region Soldiers' Song and Dance Troupe as a dancer. Since her dancing was not her forte, after coincidentally starring in "The Heart of Suffering", she went to Nortel to study and transform into a professional actor.
When she starred in "Plainclothes Police", she was 36 years old, and the crush scene with 24-year-old Hu Yajie was actually a bit difficult from the age point of view, but her image was righteous, brave, selfless and fearless, which made people forget the age difference between the two.
The drama won her a Feitian Best Supporting Actress award, which was her first acting award and the beginning of her career. In the following years, she has starred in many high-quality works such as "Wind and Rain Beauty", "Nine Fragrances", "The Day Of Leaving Lei Feng" and so on, and the Golden Rooster Queen and Feitian Tv Queen prizes have also been brought home by her one by one.
However, when she won these awards, she was already running for five, and then gradually left the front line to play a supporting role. Of course, the acting skills are in hand, whether it is the protagonist or supporting roles, she is very eye-catching, like Hu Xue'e in the "Circuit Prosecution Group" in the past two years, jin Yueji, the mother of the sister-in-law in "The World", etc. are vividly shaped, especially Hu Xue'e, which can be called an acting explosion.
Career is in the ascendant, but Song Chunli has regrets in life. At the age of 27, she married Sun Weixi, a professor of folk music at the Central Conservatory of Music, at a time when she ended her dance career and transformed into an actress. In 1980, she entered the Bayi Film Studio and received her first female lead film, "Adulterous Spy", but unfortunately, during filming, she found out that she was pregnant.
This news suddenly put the crew and herself in a dilemma, for her, this film is a good time for her to gain a foothold in the Bayi factory; for the studio, the shooting is more than halfway through, and the substitution loss is too large. At that time, the leader talked to her, and the words were all "We can't let you not want this child, but we hope you don't want it."
Later, she consulted with her husband, who supported her cause and agreed not to have children first. In this way, she returned to Beijing for abortion surgery, and a week later she returned to the crew to continue filming.
Her dedication attitude is not to say, but this move has become a regret for her and her husband for half a lifetime, because after the small birth has not yet recovered on the northeast cold place to shoot the location, she left a serious sequelae, and later became pregnant several times, but could not be saved.
Fortunately, over the years, their husband and wife relationship has been very good.
4. Shen Junyi as Du Weidong
Du Weidong was originally a thief, and when he was serving his sentence with Zhou Zhiming, he was helped and inspired by Zhou Zhiming, and was ready to become a new person after he was released from prison. But shortly after going out, he was involved in a large-scale theft case, and Zhou Zhiming felt that there were flaws in it that had been continuously pursued, but Du Weidong was killed.
Du Weidong's actor Shen Junyi was born in a military family, he also worked as a sports soldier, worked as a subway signal worker for 6 years after demobilization from the army, and was photographed by the film studio in 1984 to start the film and television road.
He is the first self-employed actor in China, and in just a few years since the film, he won the Golden Eagle Award for Best Supporting Actor for the role of the diamond leopard in "The Bandits of Wulong Mountain".
He is big and strong, and his image is both good and evil, and he has played various subversive roles such as bandits, killers, and criminal police, especially known for playing villains.
He has been active since the 1980s, but the number of works in recent years has been relatively small, and in recent years, the most impressive role is Zhao Jinhu in 2014's "Braveheart".
It is worth mentioning that his daughter Shen Ao, born to his ex-wife, is now also an actor, starring in dramas such as "Sugi Is Coming" and "Special Forces Thunderbolt Fire". But compared to her father's achievements in acting, she is still a little naïve, and it has been 13 years since she entered the industry in 2009, and she still has not made a name.
5. Bai Zhidi as Duan Xingyu
Duan Xingyu is a colleague of Zhou Zhiming, played by Bai Zhidi.
Bai Zhidi debuted quite early, as early as 1974, at the age of 25, he starred in his debut film "Southern Expedition and Northern War", but he has been unknown for many years since then.
Looking back at his resume, the dramas he participated in were all quality guaranteed, such as "Wind and Rain Beauty", "Criminal Police Mission", "Happiness Like a Flower", "The Legend of Wulin", "Snowflake That Drifting" and so on.
At the age of 73 this year, he has always been very prolific, two or three works come out every year, and in recent years, many high-scoring masterpieces have had his very wonderful performances, such as Chen Yan in "The Name of the People", Grandpa Fang in "An Jia", Tu Youyou's father in "Meritorious Service", Ma Shouchang in "The World of Man" and so on.
His line skills are very good, his performance is real and delicate, and he always sees the small roles he has created, just like seeing an ordinary grandfather in life.
Not only is his business ability first-class, he is also a good man who comes out of the mud and does not stain. He has been in the entertainment industry for nearly half a century, but he has not been seduced by fame and fortune, and he and his wife Wang Lihua have always been very affectionate and can be called a model couple.
Wang Lihua was also an actor, starred in the movie "Female Soldier", returned to the family after marrying Bai Zhidi, and left the opportunity to Bai Zhidi.
6. Ding Xin as Shi Jihong
Shi Jihong is Shi Xiaomeng's sister, the two sisters have very different personalities, Meng Meng is simple and kind, and the sister is some of the temperament of the children of cadres, and the road is crooked into the D case.
Shi Jihong's role as Ding Xin is not small, she is the wife of Zhao Baogang, a famous director in the Beijing circle.
When the two met, Ding Xin was an actor in the Guangxi Repertory Theatre, young and beautiful, while Zhao Baogang was just a sand turner in Shougang, and the work was hard and dangerous.
Zhao Baogang fell in love with Shi Jihong at first sight, and he himself was also motivated, he was successively admitted to the Conservatory of Music, the Literary troupe, some were admitted to the hidden notice, and some were directly rejected because he was "too handsome".
Later, he finally had the opportunity to enter the show business circle because of the role of Qi Ruifeng in "Four Worlds Together", and thus met the director Lin Ruwei, became her "little brother", and then entered the North Vision.
From drama to assistant director, he has been working until he has joined hands with Haiyan to create many sensational TV series such as "Never Look Away", "A Matter of Wind and Flower Moon", "What to Save You, My Love" and so on.
And his beloved girl Ding Xin was also successfully taken down by him and became his Wife Zhao.
"Plainclothes Policeman" is a drama filmed in the second year after Ding Xin's marriage, and Zhao Baogang is the assistant director of the play.
It was also the movie "Plainclothes Policeman" that made Zhao Baogang ignite his "ambition" as a director, and a few years later he made a name for himself with dramas such as "Longing", "The Story of the Editorial Department", "Imperial City Roots", and "Addiction".
After he became famous, he opened his own Xinbaoyuan Film and Television Company, and Ding Xin also said goodbye to his acting career and started a company, making a character and an agent. The two worked together to create a lot of film and television dramas that everyone later talked about.
In life, as a well-known director, Zhao Baogang has a lot of warblers and swallows around him, and the feelings of the two have also been red lights, fortunately, Zhao Dao knows that the overall situation is the most important, and the marriage between the two has been strong for 36 years.
In addition to the above main actors, there are many supporting roles in the play who are also big coffee, and the one who plays Shi Xiaomeng and Shi Jihong's father is Teacher Lantianye.
Lan Tianye is an excellent actor, who has starred in a large number of excellent dramas, film and television drama works, and he also has a deep achievement in painting, and he has held many painting exhibitions after fading out of the film and television circle.
In 2021, Mr. Lan was awarded the "July 1st Medal" in the Great Hall of the People, and he was still in good spirits and full of energy at the age of 94.
Playing Zhou Zhiming's aunt is Li Mingqi, who later became popular with "Grandma Rong".
Li Mingqi began acting in movies at the age of 24, and was really well known to the audience in the mid-80s, and "Huan Zhuge Ge" in 1998 made her famous in one fell swoop and became a childhood shadow for countless people.
Playing Lu Yuanchao is Liao Jingsheng, Lu Yuanchao is a big villain of the play, he is a D, and he is also the murderer of Du Weidong.
The show doesn't seem to have much of an impact on him, and the encyclopedic cast of Plainclothes Cop doesn't have him, nor does he have important points in his own encyclopedics.
Finally, I would like to introduce the director of the play, Lin Ruwei.
Many people at first glance will think that this is a male director, but in fact she is a beautiful director. She graduated from Nortel and starred in films such as "Zhao Xiaolan" and "Eagle in the Storm" in her early years. After turning 30 years old, she began to retire to the background as a director, and later directed works such as "Four Generations Together", "Plainclothes Policeman", "Picking Mulberry's Wife and Children" and so on.
The number of works she directed is not many, but they are very far-reaching, receiving countless flowers and applause.
On June 12, 2021, Director Lin Ruwei died of illness at the age of 89. Zheng Xiaolong, Liu Jin, Xu Meiling and other well-known directors and actors in the circle have all gone to send her on her last journey.
Time is rushing, 35 years have passed, the main creators in the play have different fates, and most of the audiences who guarded the black-and-white TV set to chase the drama have now gradually aged.
When the familiar "several degrees of wind and clouds and several degrees of spring and autumn" rings again, I suddenly miss the era when there is no mobile phone and cannot keep up with the plot if I miss it.
