If you are a TVB drama fan, you will not be unaware of the name Qi Qiyi.
In the editor's cognition of TVB, there are three gold medal producers who are most admired: one is Li Tiansheng, who has created a series of Jin Yong dramas such as the 95 version of "Divine Eagle Hero" and the 97 version of "Tianlong Babu", and the other is Wei Jiahui, who is the producer of fine dramas such as "New Zha Master Brother", "Duty Is Not To be Forgiven", and "Big Time", and the other is The Qi Qiyi we want to talk about today.
So, what is qi qi righteousness? What high-quality dramas has he produced? What about his life off the field that deserves our attention?
As early as the 1970s, Qi Qiyi had already joined the then-growing tvb (TVB). In the beginning, he was only responsible for the field work, to put it bluntly, responsible for the daily affairs of the filming process. After a period of time, he became the coordinator of the supervising producer Gan Guoliang, responsible for reasonable arrangements for the filming schedule and other matters.
It was not until 1986 that Qi Qiyi really had his own works. That year, he and Xu Yu'an co-directed the sitcom "Hong Kong 86 Dragons Across the River", don't look at this TV series is not very famous, but the actors in the play must not be unfamiliar to everyone, we are familiar with the "brother" Zhang Guorong also appeared in this drama that year, leaving a deep impression.
In 1991, Qi Qiyi switched to TVB's old enemy ATV, where he directed works such as "Solving the Asir System Only Ghost" and "The King of the Drama King", and his talent as a director and producer began to gradually appear from here.
In 1994, Qi Qiyi returned to TVB, and from this year on, he began to shine.
In that year, he supervised the production of the fashion police drama "O Record" co-starring Huang Rihua, Chen Jinhong, Guo Keying, etc., which had a tense and exciting plot and a very hot police and bandit fight scene, which caused a good response in that year. With this shareholder wind, Qi Qiyi supervised the second part of the show the following year, and the audience response was still good.
"O Records" is just an appetizer brought to everyone by Qi Qiyi, and his real masterpiece is the "Heaven and Earth Trilogy" launched for the audience from 1996 to 1999. These three dramas are 1996's "Heaven and Earth Boy", 1998's "Heaven and Earth Pride" and 1999's "Genesis", they have a common feature is that there are many characters, contradictions, and constant struggles, but Qi Qiyi has a complex plot story to deeply explore human nature, which makes people feel endless after watching it.
After entering the 21st century, Qi Qiyi is still a masterpiece.
In 2004, the palace fighting drama "Golden Branch Desire" in which he served as the executive producer reached the highest rating in Hong Kong reached 41 points, becoming the annual ratings champion in Hong Kong, in addition, the drama also created a trend of palace fighting drama, and was recognized as the ancestor of palace fighting drama; In 2006, the TV series "Fire Dance Yellow Sand" was broadcast, which was full of the arrogance and distortion of human nature under the entanglement of desire and love and hate through the enmity and hatred of the two major families; In 2008, Qi Qiyi supervised the production of the fashion family drama "Pearl treasure" co-starring Shao Meiqi, Li Zi, Cai Shaofen and other co-starring, which reached the highest rating of 37 points in Hong Kong and became a classic memory for many viewers.
Many people may not know that Wireless Huadan Shao Meiqi was qi Qiyi's ex-girlfriend. The two have known each other as early as 1985, and after a period of running-in, they soon entered the love stage, but unfortunately, the relationship did not last long, in 1991, because Qi Qiyi was too devoted to work, the two chose to break up. Later, Qi Qiyi made a girlfriend who was engaged in modeling work, and Shao Meiqi once had a relationship with Shi Zunan after the "Double Qi Face Grab" incident, but finally chose to break up in 2015.
Interestingly, as soon as Qi Qiyi and Shao Meiqi broke up, but in many dramas supervised by Qi Qiyi, such as "Genesis" and "Pearlescent", we can still see Shao Meiqi's figure, so it seems that even if the two cannot become lovers, they are still friends.
Looking at Qi Qiyi's works, we will find that his works are often heavy and thought-provoking, but they can always show humanity in gripping plots. Such works are sometimes difficult to please, but Qi Qiyi has always adhered to his own style, judging from the audience's praise for his works, who dares to say that this is not a great wisdom?
