He is the most domineering Xiang Yu, he is the most capable of acting Liu Bang, Jiang Hua and Zheng Shaoqiu, making the TV series Chu Han Jiaoxiong released in 2004 a classic memory of a generation
But few people know that after the show was broadcast that year, it had a very poor reputation, and the audience's complaint phone calls exploded, and they only had one request, hoping that Zheng Shaoqiu, who played Liu Bang, could let go of the Hong Kong stock market and stop filming new works
What kind of grudge is this, why did the audience unilaterally "block" Zheng Shaoqiu, the excitement is not only in front of the stage, but the minister only talks about big things, today I will talk about the behind-the-scenes story of Chu Han's arrogance
In 2003, Hong Kong dramas have ended the golden age of dominating the screen, but Hong Kong TVB has been trying its best to turn the tide, in order to cater to the preferences of different audiences, they deliberately prepared film and television works of various themes, such as Jin Zhi Desire is a palace fight drama for women, and Chu Han Jiaoxiong is a historical drama where men get together
At first, the company was not very optimistic about this theme, because among the loyal fans of Hong Kong TVB, a large part of them are female audiences, and they prefer love and hate to historical disputes, but producer Li Tiansheng has a different opinion, he hopes that there will be a drama that can be liked by male audiences around 40 years old, and Chu Han Jiaoxiong is such a work
Li Tiansheng has supervised Jin Yong's martial arts dramas such as Tianlong Babu and The Legend of the Condor Heroes, and these classic dramas have also laid half of the foundation for TVB, so it is not easy for senior leaders to point fingers at Li Tiansheng, but Li Tiansheng wants to make trouble for himself, 40-year-old men are not as easy to fool as young guys
From the script to the actors, every detail of Chu Han is sloppy, Li Tiansheng deliberately found two screenwriters who are familiar with the history of Chu and Han, and personally went down to look for actors, Li Tiansheng had a principle for selecting actors before, that is, young and handsome guys, but this time he found two older handsome guys
When Zheng Shaoqiu filmed Chu Han Jiaoxiong, he was 57 years old, and many stars had no sense of existence when they reached the age of 40, but Zheng Shaoqiu had a large number of middle-aged little fan girls behind him, known as the teacher killer, he played Chu Liuxiang and also portrayed Emperor Qianlong, combining these two images, it is Liu Bang, the Chu Han Jiaoxiong that Li Tiansheng is looking for
In the early stage, he was chic but greedy for beauty, and in the later stage, he knew people and was good but hesitated between brotherhood and power schemes, Zheng Shaoqiu wanted to act after reading the script but was afraid that he would not act well, he was not familiar with the relevant history of the Chu and Han Dynasty hegemony, nor did he understand Liu Bang, the grassroots emperor, and there was no way Zheng Shaoqiu, who was nearly 60 years old, had to pick up a book and read Zizhi Tongjian all night, and tried to walk into the history of the hegemony and understand the legendary life of Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty
With Zheng Shaoqiu, Liu Bang in charge, Li Tiansheng went to look for the overlord of Western Chu, Xiang Yu was born in a noble family, and he was born a hero, but he couldn't let go of his dignity and endure humiliation and make a comeback, and finally went to a sad fate
At that time, Jiang Hua starred in the Hong Kong version of Journey to the West Tang Seng, Chang Yu in the Legend of Qin and other classic supporting roles, and Jiang Hua's starry eyebrows and sword eyes are in stark contrast to the dashing Zheng Shaoqiu, isn't this Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu in Chu Han's arrogance, after setting the two male protagonists, Li Tiansheng invited some of the most familiar faces to the audience
Li Yaoxiang, who played Zhu Bajie, became Han Xin, a militant with low self-esteem, Zhang Keyi, the most valued queen of TVB, changed from a graceful beauty to a scheming Lu Pheasant, and Yu Ji is the runner-up of Miss Chinese Wu Meiyan
In order to shoot Chu Han Jiaoxiong, Zheng Shaoqiu was the first to arrive at the filming site every day, because in a familiar environment, actors can better enter the role state, and all the actors in the crew at that time were as dedicated as Zheng Shaoqiu, such as Jiang Hua, who played Xiang Yu, insisted on working every day in dizziness
At that time, most Hong Kong dramas used original sounds, Jiang Hua created a sense of Xiang Yu's majesty, shouting and saying lines every day, and after a scene was filmed, Jiang Hua was already starved of oxygen in his brain, and on the day the crew finished filming, Jiang Hua's voice was so hoarse that he couldn't speak, but it was such a TV series with all the efforts of all the staff, but it suffered a heavy blow when it was broadcast
In 2004, Chu Han Jiaoxiong premiered on Hong Kong Radio, and on the first day of broadcasting, it set the lowest ratings of the year, and the ratings of TVB's TV dramas in the past were about 30%, but Chu Han Jiaoxiong was only about 20%, and he didn't even pass the passing line
According to rumors, after the broadcast of Chu Han Jiaoxiong, some viewers called TVB, and they begged Zheng Shaoqiu not to appear in new works, otherwise Hong Kong shareholders will be bankrupt because of the Ding Crab effect on Zheng Shaoqiu
The so-called Ding Crab effect is a terrifying rumor about Zheng Shaoqiu in the Hong Kong stock market that year, in 1992, Zheng Shaoqiu played a character called Ding Crab in the TV drama era, as a result, the Hong Kong stock market fell sharply after the show was broadcast, and then 12 years Hong Kong stockholders were panicked
The Hong Kong stock market fell by more than 200 points after the broadcast of Chu Han Jiaoxiong, and even Zheng Shaoqiu ridiculed his extraordinary fate, but this is just a coincidence and has no scientific basis at all, and everyone's so-called ban is just a joke, and now Chu Han Jiaoxiong has passed 17 years, but it has become a classic that many fans have revisited several times
The actors in the play are no longer young, and their life circumstances are also different, Liu Bang Zheng Shaoqiu has become a 74-year-old ageless male god, Xiang Yu Jianghua retired from the circle due to depression in 2006, worked as a salesman in an insurance company some time ago, and also refused Gu Tianle's invitation to shoot Qin Ji's performance, everything has changed, the only thing that has not changed is the image in the play that everyone left back then
The battle between Chu and Han is a competition, Liu Bang is good at using talents but indecisive, Lu Pheasant is decisive and wise but is restrained by his daughter, Yu Ji is gentle and lovely, but she has become a victim of scheming
The current situation makes heroic history is inevitable in accident, perhaps only Xiang Yu can understand, why he refuses to cross Jiangdong, what other historical masterpieces do you know, welcome to leave a message in the comment area to discuss, this issue is over here, you can like and support it, follow me to show you more exciting behind-the-scenes, we will see you next time
