What else can I give you besides true feelings.
What else can I love about you besides kindness.
What else can I keep besides courage.
What else can I forget besides the pain...
Friend, if you can read these four sentences like reading poetry, then you are a literary and artistic youth, if you can sing these four sentences, then don't hide it, you are an ordinary middle-aged man.
Because this is the theme song of the police gangster TV series "Hero Without Regrets" premiered in 1996, the name is "True Heart", and the singer is also a name with a slight sense of history, Huang Gexuan.
Now when we talk about Pu Cunxin, everyone recognizes him as a performance artist, after all, in terms of performance, people in human art are not good stubble. However, speaking of Pu Cunxin's representative works, perhaps because he did get involved in the film and television circle too few times, many people's first impression of him is still the police chief Gao Tian, no way, that role is too good, for audiences of all ages is almost a state of all-you-can-eat, not limited to the master milk killer.
Recently, a TV series GIF of Wang Yuzhang has exploded on the Internet, and many people immediately think of Hu Yonghuang as soon as they see him, and they also think of "Hero Without Regret". As for why "Heroes Without Regrets" is so remembered by everyone, we can look at it from three aspects:
First, the police drama that leads the trend of the times
"Heroes Without Regrets" is a TV series with a great sense of the times, and an important factor why it cannot be replayed frequently is that it has specific historical significance. The background of the story is chosen on the eve of the return of Hong Kong, and the location is also nanbin city in the southern country (the prototype should be Guangzhou).
From the content point of view, "Hero No Regrets" is different from other police dramas of the same type and anti-corruption dramas, this TV series has some fashionable elements, in the author's opinion, it is a bit like the combination of "Public Relations Miss" and "Plainclothes Police".
We can see a lot of cutting-edge goods from "Heroes Without Regrets", bars, communication tools, TV dramas, and even criminals are not tinkering with traditional white noodles, but methamphetamine, which was still a new term at that time.
Many of the commercial lines and plots that appear in the play are also rare inland, and it should be said that this TV series is like "Miss Public Relations", which makes the audience open their eyes to the forefront of reform and opening up.
Second, the personality of the vivid role and the beautiful appearance of the actress
Although "Heroes Without Regrets" is a drama film, the audience will inevitably focus on some vivid characters.
Pu Cunxin needless to say, the Gao Tian he played is different from many positive roles in the past, not a single face of the positive hero image, but a living person, such a positive character is more three-dimensional, more credible. Coupled with Pu Cunxin's temperament, it is also natural that he is already quite famous for his popularity with this drama.
Hu Yonghuang, played by Wang Yuzhang, is also different from the corrupt elements in some previous TV series, he gradually embarked on the road of corruption from conscientious cadres forced by various reasons such as life, and finally repented and atonement for his death.
As for the other main characters, they are old, sorry, but what I remember more is the beautiful appearance and extraordinary temperament of those actresses.
Shu Yue played by Li Ting is gentle and pleasant, Wu Yinyin played by Yuan Li is beautiful and cheerful, Di Meihua played by Zhang Liwei is charming, three women are a play, and their three beautiful women with high appearance and different characteristics surround a polite and handsome Pu Cunxin, which is really rare in police dramas.
Not to mention the positive role, even the villain female BOSS Yao Yiping can charm a large number of men, which is quite in line with the routine of the TV series of that year, that is, the villain bad woman must be the best looking and most charming one in the play, starting from Alain of "Hero Tiger Guts", this routine has been tried and tested.
Third, three lines three-dimensional display of all aspects of society
Unlike the two plot lines of ordinary police dramas with black and white distinctions, "Heroes Without Regrets" has at least three main plot lines that promote the plot.
One is the main line of the play, the cracking of various cases, which is also the work line or career line of Gao Tian.
The second is the commercial line in the play, as well as the social line of Gao Tian, which includes his interaction with Di Meihua and the game of commercial operation between Chen Shi, Situ Yuandong and the municipal government.
The third is the emotional line in the play, that is, the emotional line of Gao Tian's personal. He has a girlfriend Wu Yinyin, a confidante shu yue, and a business partner and admirer, Di Meihua. This design itself is very bold, and there was some controversy in that year, after all, a public security cadre was actually confused with so many girls, and it was somewhat avant-garde. In order to make this clue more reasonable, Gao Tian also has one more experience of doing business on the social line.
Of course, if you look at it now, this line of the high heavens is not only not excessive, but even a little uncertain prophet, which will be said later.
In addition to these three main lines, there are other sub-lines such as the friendship between Gao Tian and Hu Yonghuang, Hu Yonghuang's corruption process, etc., and the integration of these contents makes "Hero Without Regrets" more three-dimensionally show some of the dynamics in the society before the return of Hong Kong, which has a certain significance of the times.
Fourth, later
"Heroes Without Regrets" had a high rating that year and won many awards, including the "Five One Project" Outstanding TV Series Award of the Central Propaganda Department, the first prize of the 16th National Television Drama "Feitian Award" long-form series and the Outstanding Screenwriter Award.
Pu Cunxin also raised his already high popularity through the role of Gao Tian in "Hero No Regrets", which is still his best TV series masterpiece.
However, what is slightly embarrassing is that Chen Shaoji, the prototype of Gao Tian in the "Hero Without Regrets", who once cracked several major cases (including the Zhang Ziqiang case), was later found to be guilty of corruption, and finally he was sentenced to a suspended death sentence, in addition, he also has two mistresses who committed a joint crime, which has to be said to be a great irony. "Gao Tian" eventually became "Hu Yonghuang".
And the most breathtaking is Shu Yue's actor Li Ting, although she has starred in the same popular "Foreign Sister", but what makes her really nationally famous is the role of Shu Yue, and her temperament is also very compatible with the role. Sadly, she died of illness in 2012.
Finally, although "Heroes Without Regrets" has a hard-nosed suspicion in some plots, on the whole, it is a very successful unconventional police drama, which is closely integrated with the times, boldly reflects the dark side of society, does not stick to the face of the portrayal of positive and negative characters, and the depiction of villains and drug lords is also very bold. Therefore, no matter from any point of view, "Heroes Without Regrets" can be called a successful police drama of the times.
Also, the theme song and ending song are also very good.
