Lu Yao's original book "Life" adapted, Chen Xiao and Li Qin starring in "The Road of Life" premiered on CCTV on March 20!

The TV series "Life Road Yao", adapted from the famous late writer Lu Yao's famous work "Life", has now been renamed "The Road of Life" and is scheduled to premiere on CCTV on March 20!

Lu Yao is a phenomenal writer in China, and his works "Life" and "Ordinary World" have aroused great heated discussions and repercussions.

Compared with the more famous novel "Ordinary World", in fact, Lu Yao's novella "Life" is more realistic and more reflective of real human nature.

As early as 1984, "Life" was adapted into a movie of the same name, directed by Wu Tianming and starring famous actors Zhou Lijing and Wu Yufang.

The movie "Life" is the first film of Xi'an Film Studio to win the Hundred Flowers Award. In the same year, he won the Golden Rooster Award for Best Feature Film and Best Composition.

The 21-year-old actress Wu Yufang also won the Hundred Flowers Award for Best Actress with "Life".

This movie was very deeply rooted in the hearts of the people in that era, and the screen images of "Gao Garin" and "Liu Qiaozhen" of Zhou Lijing and Wu Yufang have long become classics.

Later, "Life" was adapted into a TV series of the same name in 2014, directed by Yang Yang and starring Wang Yu, Miao Tingru, Peng Yang and so on. But it seems that this drama is a bit obscure.

Director Yang Yang is the female director who directed "Menghualu".

Lu Yao's novel "Life" was originally published in the third issue of Harvest magazine in 1982, and now, more than 40 years have passed since the birth of the novel.

Remaking the classics makes sense, allowing today's young people, to see how the young people with dreams of that era were unwilling to fate, and how they were struck by fate (and unfair reality). So as to love today's beautiful and independent life even more.

The TV series "The Road of Life" is directed by the famous director Yan Jiangang, starring Chen Xiao and Li Qin.

Starring Zhang Jiani, Wang Tianchen, Tang Zeng, Li Yutong, Zhao Zheng, Liu Yitie, Liu Runnan, Li Baoan, Zhao Qianzi, Honghua, Ji Bo, Feng Haiyu, Zhang Xinyi, Jiang Yiru.

Lin Yongjian and Guo Xiaoting starred in particular.

Liu Wei, Li Guangfu, He Saifei, Zhou Yemang, Huang Meiying, Zhang Tianyang, Guo Kaimin, Fan Deng, Yue Hong, Lian Lian, Tu Ling, Lu Zhong starred in friendship.

Look at this long list of actors, three generations of old, middle and young people, the strength gathers, worthy of Lu Yao's original work, worthy of director Yan Jiangang, invited most of the entertainment industry to join to help!

"The Road of Life" tells the story of Gao Garin, a young man living in Gaojia Village in northern Shaanxi, who worked hard to change his fate, and after experiencing the changes of world events and the tests of fate one after another, he was still unwilling to succumb to fate, bravely faced reality, and wrote his extraordinary life.

The male number one of "The Road of Life", Gao Garin, is played by actor Chen Xiao.

Chen Xiao has transformed from an idol student to a powerful actor who relies on acting skills, and his acting skills still make people look forward to him.

In the 2022 suspense drama "Ice Rain and Fire", Chen Xiao ignored the image and was open-minded, and won unanimous praise from the audience with his "disfiguring acting skills".

Judging from the stills poster of the play, Chen Xiao's appearance and temperament are still more suitable for the role of Gao Garin.

In Gogarin's life, there were two loves.

A love is with Liu Qiaozhen, a hardworking, simple, kind and beautiful rural girl.

Another love is with his high school classmate, cheerful, lively and willful city girl Huang Yaping.

By chance, Gao Garin, who entered the county to work, felt more and more the gap between Liu Qiaozhen and him, and under Huang Yaping's bold show of love, Gao Jalin and Liu Qiaozhen broke up and were with Huang Yaping.

Liu Qiaozhen, played by actor Li Qin.

For Li Qin's appearance, some netizens said that Li Qin's dark and thin appearance did not conform to the image of a rural girl full of healthy vitality and beauty in that era.

Moreover, I also have doubts about Li Qin's acting skills.

However, since the director chose her to play Liu Qiaozhen, there must be a reason for the director, and after the show starts, let's discuss whether Li Qin is successful in playing the role of "Liu Qiaozhen".

Huang Yaping, played by actor Zhang Jiani.

For Zhang Jiani, the actor, I am not familiar with her past works, so I can't judge her acting skills, if there are readers who are familiar with it, you can leave a message in the comment area to tell me whether Zhang Jiani's acting skills are good or not.

In addition to several young leading actors, the play also has a large number of old drama bones joining.

Liu Wei, not to mention the works when he was young, in the past two years alone, with the two TV series "Happiness to Ten Thousand Homes" and "Half Summer Blowing in the Wind" cooperated with Zhao Liying, he successfully won everyone's love, superb acting skills and profound skills.

There are also old actors such as Li Guangfu, Zhou Yemang, Guo Kaimin and other old actors who are also looking forward to.

Lin Yongjian, who has just finished playing Chang Weisi, a general who commanded the earth against the trisolarans in "The Three-Body Problem", has now run to the countryside of northern Shaanxi to become a village branch secretary.

There is also an old actor in the play, and I am very optimistic about him. He is Li Baoan.

You may not be impressed by the name, but when you see his face, you will definitely remember his character.

Li Baoan played Song Yunhui's father Song Jishan in "Big River", Qu Tuan in "Loading Stage", and Xiao Junxue's father who was stoned to death in "County Party Committee Compound".

Xiao Junxue died unexpectedly, and when Li Laiyou went to Xiao's house to tell Xiao's father this sad news, Xiao's father's silent crying scene was very infectious, so that I couldn't help but shed tears when I watched the drama at that time, which left a deep impression on me.

Li Baoan is a national first-class actor who has been a drama actor in the Shaanxi Provincial People's Art Theater for many years, and it will seem more real and natural for him to play the role of a peasant in northern Shaanxi.

In "The Road of Life", Li Baoan should play Gao Garin's father. An honest, timid old farmer.

Although "The Road of Life" is adapted from Lu Yao's novel, it can be seen from the cast and crew that the play only follows the main characters, story and overall framework of Lu Yao's "Life", but after being adapted into a TV series, many new characters and content have been added.

In the original novel, Gao Garin only worked in the county town and met Huang Yaping. But in the play, Huang Yaping's identity became a Shanghai girl, Gao Garin lost his job in the county, and then went to Shanghai to struggle and develop, and in the play, there are Gao Garin, Huang Yaping, Liu Qiaozhen their middle-aged stories, the span of the plot, should be from the 80s of the last century, has been written to the present.

In the drama version, it was also added that Gao Garin learned that the reason why he failed the college entrance examination that year was that his friend Gao Shuangxing replaced him.

These plots are not found in the original work.

After all, Lu Yao's novel "Life" is only a novella, and if you want to expand a long-form TV series, adding material is inevitable.

I just hope that the drama version will not add some unnecessary and too popular bloody materials, which weakens the power of the original novel to reflect reality.

"The Road of Life" will premiere on CCTV's set of prime time on the evening of March 20!

So, are you looking forward to the TV series "The Road of Life" adapted from Lu Yao's novel, or for the starring Chen Xiao, Li Qin, and many old drama bones?
