When I started watching Zhang Zhilin and Yang Qianyao's "Family Glory" in 2022, my feeling was that netizens were very harsh, and they gave this very interesting Hong Kong drama a Douban score of 5.5?
But when I saw the ending, I knew that I was shallow, I was not only watching an extreme local Hong Kong drama full of "feudal dross", but also the screenwriter really should swallow the blade and say that it was a good revenge drama, but the 28 episodes were revenge, and finally began to rebel, Zhen Xin was inexplicably killed by Mandy's sister?
The plot is simply nonsense, so this TVB drama finally got a failing score of 5.5 on Douban, and it was complained by the audience during the finale, but now this "Family Glory" actually has a sequel, which is "The Inheritor of Family Glory" launched on May 13.
Some people may wonder, how can someone have a sequel to such a low-reputation drama?
I also had such questions at first, but later checked and found that this 2022 "Family Glory" not only won the Hong Kong ratings championship that year, which was extremely popular, but also had an absolute blessing in the sequel lineup.
Not only does there be a sister Charmaine Sheh starring, but also Shi Di Lin Feng and Luo Jialiang joined, just for these three, I can't refuse this "Family Glory 2", but when I see that the screenwriter is still Huang Guohui and Xiao Guanghan from last season...... , I'm a little worried, the actor is a good actor, I hope I don't let the plot drag on!
"The Inheritor" continues the story routine of the previous work "Family Glory", and still tells the story of the infighting of a wealthy family.
The wealthy Qiu family has always been known for its patriarchy, this generation of old lady Qiu has two sons, the eldest son Qiu Shouren said that the good thing is to be indifferent to fame and fortune, and to say that it is not good to say that he has a weak personality and stays out of the family business, so he naturally has been unpopular in the family.
Old lady Qiu's second son, Qiu Shouyi, has a domineering personality and is a natural CEO attribute, but fortunately, the personality of this generation of sons is too different, and there is no big fight.
But the third generation is completely different, Qiu Shouyi gave birth to the only male grandson of the third generation, Qiu Zhibin, his personality is a bit unbearable, addicted to fun and often causes trouble. In terms of career, he is unscrupulous and is a ruthless character.
But because he is the only male grandson of the third generation, he has now become the CEO of the family. The turning point of the matter was because Zhibin and his father ran the gambling business behind the back of Mrs. Qiu.
The old lady was furious when he found out, and then suddenly suffered a stroke and fell into a coma, and after rescue, although he was temporarily out of danger, he was not sure when he would wake up.
At this time, lawyer Tang brought the Qiu family together, saying that the old lady had drawn up a power of attorney in advance because he was not in good health, and if he had an accident and his mental consciousness was not clear, the company's affairs would be represented by the eldest granddaughter Qiu Haoer.
When the decision was announced, Qiu Shouyi's family all looked at Hao'er, with obvious dissatisfaction and resentment in their eyes, and Hao'er herself was a little surprised, and sat in the position of acting chairman in embattled and confused.
The position of the acting chairman has not yet been hot, and just after Sister Sa's style, someone from the Commercial Investigation Department came, saying that Qiu Haoer was taken away for investigation on suspicion of a case of bribery and forgery of documents.
Qiu Shouren was very worried about Qiu's daughter, so he helped her find a lawyer Gao Jun, his father Gao Cheng used to be the driver of the Qiu family, and Hao'er and Zhibin, the juniors of the Qiu family, are all friends, because his father often told Gao Jun to repay the Qiu family, so he grew up to become a witty and intelligent lawyer, solving various tricky incidents for the Qiu family, and he also has the right to speak in the Qiu family.
And this time, Hao'er was taken away by the Commercial Crime Investigation Bureau, which was operated by Zhibin in the background, and finally with the help of Gao Jun, Hao'er was withdrawn from the charge due to the amnesia of the witness and reinstated as acting chairman.
To be honest, watching "Heirs of Family Glory", I was largely because of Charmaine Sheh and Lin Feng's fifth collaboration, but I am still very disappointed.
The two of them don't seem to be in the same camp, in terms of emotion, Lin Feng's version of Gao Jun shows that he has the attributes of a scumbag, although he obviously wants to reunite after breaking the mirror, and brushing his presence in front of Hao'er with humility, but his character is very bad.
In terms of career, Gao Jun has been helping Qiu Haoer on the surface, but he is also the lawyer who has the most inheritance rights Qiu Zhibin, whether these two people can get together in the end, there is really no way to predict, I really think Charmaine Sheh and Lin Feng have HE's emotional arrangement!
Luo Jialiang, who I haven't seen for a long time, really has a sense of age, with half-gray hair, which is too far from Ye Rongtian in "Genesis" in his memory.
The other actors with big and young milks and second young mothers are also about 50+, no wonder many people complain, watching a group of 50-year-old Hong Kong stars play the love and feud of a wealthy family, it is really a bit unbearable.
Although the plot involves business wars, infighting, horse catching and other plots, it is very routine in nature, and there is a rustic and embarrassing 0.5 version of the Korean giant drama taste, I feel that the main creator is just copying the classic classic wealthy drama with his impression, which has a lot of shortcomings, and it will not be a high score on visual inspection.
But this broken script uses Charmaine Sheh and Lin Feng, two Hong Kong stars that I like more, which is really a waste!
