The most unexpected turn in popularity this year is Dong Jie.
Suddenly, she became the number one in Xiaohongshu's live streaming goods.
Some people say that she brought the cold autumn of "Gold Fan Family" directly into the live broadcast room.
She was once scolded by thousands of people because of her marriage, and her acting career once fell into a trough.
Unexpectedly, the 42-year-old became popular again, which made people shout.
It just so happens that "Gold Fan Family" also celebrated its 20th anniversary some time ago.
As soon as the theme song "Dark Incense" sounded, it instantly evoked the childhood memories of countless people.
Even after 20 years, this drama is still the No.1 romantic drama of the Republic of China in the hearts of many people.
Today, Uncle Yu will talk to you again, this enduring domestic classic -
"Gold Dust Family"
How popular was "Gold Dust Family" back then?
The average rating of 7.28% broke CCTV's broadcast record in those years.
became a phenomenal hit drama that year, and became popular with three leading actors in one fell swoop.
Even Sha Baoliang, the singer of the theme song, became popular because of this drama.
Director Li Dawei once said that he defined "Gold Fan Family" as a "youth drama".
Now when it comes to "youth drama", the first thing that rushes into people's minds should be the faces of some fresh meat and flowers.
This feeling seems to be not quite equivalent to Chen Kun, Dong Jie, and Liu Yifei now.
In fact, before the broadcast that year, the media did define "Gold Fan Family" with the four big words of "wholesale idol".
Liu Yifei, 16, Dong Jie, 23, and Chen Kun, 26.
From "Gold Fan Family" into people's field of vision, the first thing to play is the appearance card.
Today, it is also a proper face ceiling.
Dressed in a blue student outfit, with two black braids hanging down to his chest, he looked at the lilies in his hands and smiled.
Leng Qingqiu, played by Dong Jie, has since become the synonym of "White Moonlight".
To this day, it is difficult to find a second cold autumn.
Meticulous oil heads, neat suits, always hanging on the corners of the mouth with a seemingly innocent smile.
The deep facial features like a half-race child, coupled with a youthful feeling.
Jin Yanxi, played by Chen Kun, also gave Brother Gongzi in the novel a realistic imagination.
And Liu Yifei's Bai Xiuzhu is even more amazing.
It is said that because Liu Yifei is so beautiful, all her shots in the play have not been cut.
You Jianming, the producer of "Gold Fan Family", once described Liu Yifei as follows:
Beauty eclipses all known stars.
At that time, Liu Yifei was not the "fairy sister" everyone said.
As a much-loved Miss Qianjin, she was her killer feature at that time.
Of course, just a full score for appearance is not enough to make the three of them loved by everyone.
Although they are still young, their successful interpretation and shaping of characters is the most attractive.
The first is the resentful couple of Jin Yanxi and Leng Qingqiu.
The young man fell in love at first sight, and the love that had nowhere to be placed was released through Jin Yanxi's dazzling chasing means.
And the girl's overflowing sweetness is also expressed through the laughter that spreads from running in the sunflower fields.
The story in the early stage, from the current point of view, is quite contrived.
It is nothing more than the "overbearing president falls in love with me" drama commonly used in idol dramas.
However, with the natural performance and innocent temperament of the two, although this paragraph is extremely exaggerated, it does not make people feel embarrassed at all.
In Uncle Yu's opinion, the wonderful interpretation of the role by Chen Kun and Dong Jie is not in the sweet moment in the early stage.
When the love between the two began to enter reality through the form of marriage, the dislocation of values caused by class differences made the two go further and further.
Leng Qingqiu was pulled by reality and love.
She always frowned at this time and pursed the corners of her mouth.
Looking at Jin Yanxi's eyes, in addition to disappointment and sadness, there was also some disbelief.
This complex and secret emotion was aptly expressed by Dong Jie, who was just in her early 20s.
And Jin Yanxi's decadence and rot were even more vividly expressed by Chen Kun.
The emotional entanglement of the two and the display of the failed marriage left a deep impression on the audience.
Again, it's Bai Xiuzhu.
At that time, Liu Yifei was still underage, but she also interpreted the infatuation, arrogance and persistence of a young lady very well.
Because of this, many people hated Bai Xiuzhu at that time.
However, on the wedding day of Jin Leng, the picture of crying alone in a wedding dress really broke the hearts of many viewers.
Three people of such an age, entangled in the dreamy love story of the Republic of China, each telling their feelings with their own feelings, how can they not be obsessed.
The fire of "Gold Dust Family" can be described as "prominent siege" at the time.
At the beginning of the 21st century, the domestic TV drama industry and the theme of the Republic of China era are in the honeymoon period.
Since "April Days on Earth" in 2000, at least 1-2 excellent films have appeared every year.
Chen Kun's TV debut drama "Like Fog Like Rain and Like Wind" was broadcast in 2000.
The intricate emotional relationships in the play and the ups and downs of the family's rise and fall history make this drama a favorite of many people.
In 2001, "Deep Love" needless to say, accompanied the summer of a generation.
In 2002, there were "Half Life" and "Orange is Red".
The latter is the second partner of Zhou Xun and Huang Lei.
The Xiuhe costume worn by Zhou Xun on his wedding day in the play has influenced it to this day.
Then there were "Jinghua Smoke" and "Love in the City", and then "Too late to say I love you" in 2010.
This series of Republic of China dramas with a good reputation has also won many popular actors like "Golden Fan Family".
These actors were young and beautiful at that time, and many people have become representatives of acting skills now.
Republican romance dramas often have a common feature:
It strives to create a high-class sense of sophistication that combines epic, vicissitudes and romance.
Now when we watch many period dramas, people always take whether the service is refined as a standard.
At this point, filters come into great use.
But these were the basis for those dramas at that time.
Whether it is "Like Fog, Like Rain and Like Wind" or "Love in the City" later.
Whether it is the costumes of the characters or the texture of the scene props in the play, they are very in line with the appearance of that era, and will not make people feel like they are jumping.
And the best of these is "Gold Dust Family".
The investment in this 20-year-old TV series has approached 20 million yuan.
The Prime Minister's Office built in real scenes, tailor-made costumes, and a sea of sunflower flowers covering an area of more than ten acres.......
All of them are exquisite and gorgeous to the extreme.
Director Li Dawei and the entire crew together created a flashy dream for the audience.
In addition to this layer of external refinement, the Republic of China drama also has a layer of internal writing.
People have always had a unique imagination of the Republic of China:
The times are turbulent, the East and the West, tragedy, romance...
The stories we mentioned above cannot escape the larger context of the times.
Political turmoil and dispersion of war are unavoidable elements.
It is precisely because of such a story soil that the flower named "love" will bloom more beautifully.
But it is inevitable that there will be over-glorification.
Especially stories like "Gold Dust Family" adapted from literary works.
As a representative of the "Mandarin Duck Butterfly School", in Zhang Hingshui's original work, the love between Jin Yanxi and Leng Qingqiu is less idealistic and more realistic.
Unlike Jin Yanxi in the TV series, she fell in love with Leng Qingqiu at first sight and pursued it hard.
Jin Qiye in the novel is a typical swinger, or a real scumbag.
From his pursuit to marriage, the Yingying Yanyan beside Jin Yanxi has never broken.
Miss Saga, movie celebrities, and maid actors are all pilgrims in his account.
Leng Qingqiu is not as thorough and pure as in the TV series.
In the face of Jin Yanxi's behavior of using money to buy people's hearts, Leng Qingqiu was very useful in private.
As she herself said:
She thought that he had bought the heart with money.
And the marriage of the two actually has a lot to do with Leng Qingqiu's pregnancy.
That's right, you heard it right, they are the first to get on the standby ticket relationship.
Qingqiu blushed and said, "Didn't I tell you earlier?" How can it be any more? You always say that it doesn't matter, and you give all kinds of reasons, and last time I said, always be on guard, you don't care. And lo and behold..."
Yan Xi said, "How is it?" Did the aunt say anything? ”
Qingqiu said, "She still doesn't know, but if she doesn't think of remedying it, she should know soon." I can't be polite today, let me ask you, when exactly would you like to make it public? ”
Yan Xi said, "Is it just for this?" Anyway, in this year. ”
You can imagine that if you really shoot according to the original book, "Gold Fan Family" is estimated to not have such achievements.
Through a certain degree of rewriting and beautification, the screenwriter wrapped the beautiful love in the fate of the family.
Coupled with the sense of historical mission that cannot be broken, it forms a unique sense of beauty, thus capturing the hearts of the audience.
Because of the particularity of culture, the Republic of China love script should become an important part of domestic dramas.
But in recent years, there have been no more works like "Gold Dust Family".
Republican-themed works with a better reputation are not purely centered around love.
Home and country feelings and fantasy imagination are the main path.
Exploring the reasons behind this, it can be summarized as changes in the market.
Since 2014, with the popularity of "Ancient Sword and Qitan", the concept of the first generation of "traffic stars" began to appear.
The following year, the launch of two Republic of China dramas "The Golden Thief" and "Living Color" starring traffic Xiaohua opened the market for Republic of China idol dramas.
Since then, "traffic stars" have begun to enter the TV drama market in large numbers, and "Little Fresh Meat" has begun to appear on the big stage of the entertainment industry.
Flow capital becomes the controller of the market.
The audience's focus begins to shift, the story is no longer the core, the actor or idol is the core point.
People's imagination of the Republic of China has almost dissolved in bright picture colors, "wonderful fashion" clothing shapes.
The word "Republic of China" no longer has any sense of historical heaviness, but has become a tool.
A tool with the same connotation as "ancient puppets":
A place for traffic stars to brush resumes.
Coupled with the continuous development of mobile media, people's viewing patterns have changed dramatically.
"Fast consumption" and "fragmentation" have also become the main factors affecting the development of the film and television industry.
The production seems to have lost patience, and in their hands, the charm construction that should have belonged to the love of the Republic of China has disappeared, leaving only pink bubbles filled with industrial saccharin.
All the story development and character relationships are like going at twice the speed.
The long gazes and turns in "Gold Powder Family" have all turned into countless straightforward and dry "I love you".
Republican idol dramas replaced Republican romance dramas, and those romantic feelings and the grand era hidden behind disappeared.
And the three young girls who came out of "Gold Fan Family" have also undergone ups and downs.
After Chen Kun was in Jin Yanxi, he made a lot of TV series with a good reputation, and he is also popular in the film industry.
In 2009, Chen Kun, Luo Haiqiong and Li Xiaoran co-starred again in the Republic of China drama "Old Dream".
However, after that, Chen Kun never made a TV series until "Get Out" 9 years later.
It is also a Republican drama, but the score is far less than "Gold Fan Family".
Dong Jie, who became the national "white moonlight" because of the cold autumn, has gained a lot in career and love.
But because of the messy accounts of his married life, he has since become the hatred of most people.
Whether it is playing a girl in a TV series, it is in "The Legend of Ruyi".
Or in the word-of-mouth domestic drama "Hello! Mother is a great mother very well.
People always can't let go of her controversial "black history".
Cheng is also cold and autumn, defeat is also cold and autumn, from "white moonlight" to "white lotus", Dong Jie's vitality is greatly injured.
And Liu Yifei, after "Golden Fan Family", successively filmed two costume martial arts dramas, "Dragon Babu" and "Condor Heroes".
The name "Fairy Sister" resounded throughout the country.
It is even more because the role of Zhao Linger in "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" has once again become the childhood memory of many people.
After that, Liu Yifei began to move to the big screen, shot a lot of big productions, and even entered Hollywood.
However, the results are not ideal, and the works they participate in basically belong to the category of bad films.
Compared with his own fame, Liu Yifei's career is really not a success.
With "Gold Fan Family" as the intersection, the loneliness of the Republic of China romantic drama and the acting careers of the three leading actors have formed a wonderful intertext.
However, it cannot be ignored that the current audience seems to be trying to break free from some bondage.
Just like Dong Jie began to become popular, Chen Kun has also achieved good results in TV series in the past two years, and Liu Yifei is also constantly trying to break through his stereotyped image.
The audience begins to constantly look for beauty in the memories of the past.
The archaeology of film and television dramas that have appeared frequently in recent years is the best proof.
However, this is not a renaissance, more like a final swan song.
Behind the retro carnival is the incomparable dissatisfaction of the people.
We regret here the change and disappearance of the Republic of China romance drama.
In fact, it is also a sigh about the decline of the current play.
