In 1993, there was a gap in the Hong Kong TVB program schedule.
In order to fill in, TVB bought the broadcast rights of the taiwanese long-form costume detective drama "Bao Qingtian".
This drama, originally only 15 episodes, as a fill-in file is just right.
Unexpectedly, once the drama was broadcast, it beat the Hong Kong local ratings king "No. 1 Royal Court" series, setting a record of an average of 36 points of super high ratings.
At the same time, "Bao Qingtian" has also quickly become popular in South Korea, Southeast Asia and other places.
With such results, the filmmakers were also surprised, so they decided to add filming, and finally presented a costume detective drama with a total of 236 episodes in 41 units.
According to statistics, the IP of "Bao Qingtian" has been filmed and televisionized a total of 34 times, and there are many artists who play Bao Zheng, such as Zhou Jie, Deng Chao, Lu Yi, Huang Weide, etc., of which the most familiar and recognized closest to the prototype is the actor Jin Chaoqun.
The reason why the "Bao Qingtian" series can be fired is also due to the wonderful interpretation of Jin Chaoqun.
Bao Zheng, played by him, has a domineering spirit in his majesty, and he does not lose his compassion when he is stable, especially his dramatic tone, which is very flavorful.
In 1995, Jin Chaoqun won the Golden Bell Award for Best Actor with the role of Bao Zheng, and since then he has acted in more than 700 episodes of Bao Zheng's plays.
It can be said that the role of Bao Zheng has run through his life.
Today, Pigo will talk to you about the entangled fate of Jin Chaoqun and "Bao Qingtian".
01、
Jin Chaoqun was born in Taiwan Province of China in 1951.
Since he was a child, he has been very beautiful, fair-skinned, and very popular with relatives and friends.
After graduating from high school, my peers around me were all looking for a way to make a living. Jin Chaoqun ignored the opposition of his family and became obsessed with acting.
Since the age of 18, Jin Chaoqun has been running on stage plays, during which he has also held many positions, such as director, field controller and so on.
But these things are too far from his ideals.
Fortunately, he met Huashi.
Subsequently, he signed a contract with it and appeared in the audience's sight as a host.
With the opportunity to show his face on the screen, Jin Chaoqun began to develop in the direction of film and television actors, just like Zhou Xingchi at that time, while being a host, he ran a dragon set.
At that time, Jin Chaoqun was still a thin and handsome man, and the roles he played were mainly villains.
Of course, these characters did not make Jin Chaoqun popular. Jin Chaoqun was not discouraged by this, but carefully polished his acting skills and waited for the opportunity.
1993 was a year of turning fortunes for Jin Chaoqun.
Director Sun Peishu found him and invited him to play Bao Zheng in "Bao Qingtian".
In fact, Sun Peishu had already found many people before looking for Jin Chaoqun.
But many people dare not take this play, because in 1974, Taiwan had a play "Bao Qingtian", and this drama also won the 1975 Golden Bell Award.
The lead actor Yi Ming won the "Personal Technology Award" acting award because of his excellent interpretation.
At that time, the show had a total of 350 episodes, setting a record for the highest number of episodes broadcast in Taiwan.
To this day, it is still regarded as a classic by audiences.
But for Jin Chaoqun, participating in "Bao Qingtian" may be his only chance to "turn over". So he voluntarily accepted the role.
In order to play Bao Zheng well, he first read a lot of historical materials, and then spent time figuring out the role.
At the age of 42, he even gained weight because he was not fat enough.
And when he set makeup appeared, everyone agreed: This is Bao Qingtian!
02、
When Hong Kong TVB launched "Bao Qingtian", almost overnight, Jin Chaoqun became popular.
Bao Zheng, played by him, was widely praised for his excellent acting skills and sonorous and powerful lines.
Interestingly, after Jin Chaoqun became popular, his Huashi wanted to continue to shoot "Bao Qingtian", which was the later "Seven Heroes and Five Righteousness".
However, Huashi did not want to continue to use Jin Chaoqun, and it should be known that He Jiajin and Jin Chaoqun were very good buddies at that time.
For this reason, the two sides and Huashi tore their faces.
In 1994, Jin Chaoqun, He Jiajin and Huashi terminated their contracts, and the two defected to TVB together.
Unfortunately, the two did not come to TVB for long.
Soon, Jin Chaoqun and TVB fell out again because of the film remuneration, and the good brother He Jiajin was also banned.
03、
In order to survive, Jin Chaoqun came to the mainland to shoot in 1996.
One of the first plays was with Pan Yingzi in "The Bearded Guest and the Red Breeze Girl" (mainland titled "The Dragon And the Phoenix").
In this way, he took root in the interior.
In the following ten years, he successively launched eight TV series of "Bao Gong".
In 2008, he planned to shoot "New Bao Qingtian" and brought in his two deadly henchmen, He Jiajin and Fang Hongxuan.
The Iron Triangle is reunited.
It is worth mentioning that in this drama, there are many familiar faces. For example, Chen Yanfei, Chen Haomin, Fu Yiwei and so on.
After "New Bao Qingtian", in 2010, Jin Chaoqun established the "Bao Qingtian" film and television city at his own expense, not renting or selling, only to shoot the Bao Qingtian series of TV series.
He has a wish, that is, he wants to finish shooting 1,000 episodes of "Bao Qingtian".
Perhaps, like a six-year-old child, Jin Chaoqun, who has been playing Bao Zheng for almost half of his life, will always be full of love for this role:
Bao Qingtian is not only a dramatic story, it is Chinese culture, there are too many things that can be told in it, not only the judgment of the case, the judgment of the case is the means, it really expresses the righteousness of loyalty and filial piety!
04、
Of course, the most innocent person in "Bao Qingtian" is the only person in the "Iron Triangle" who is married outside the play.
Jin Chaoqun's wife is named Chen Qi.
Originally a nurse, she later switched careers to become an actress.
The two met during the filming of "Bao Qingtian", in which Chen Qi played Pang Guifei.
At first, the two were not optimistic about the outside world.
First, because Jin Chaoqun is 23 years older than Chen Qi, it is difficult for the marriage of the old husband and young wife to come to the end.
The second is that Chen Qi's father believes that there are no good people in the actors, and once tried to break them up.
Even before getting married, he told his daughter, "Your marriage is not more than three years," and renovated her room, betting that she would be home in three months.
As a result, thirty years later, the two were as loving as ever.
When Jin Chaoqun's career was busiest, Chen Qi even brought the pot to the crew to cook for her husband, which showed that the feelings were very strong.
Not only that, the two cherish the two-person world very much and insist on not having children.
And Chen Qi gradually faded out of the film and television circle after her husband became popular, taking special care of her husband's living, in this regard, Jin Chaoqun also happily revealed, "She is fat and unwilling to come out, but she is still the wife who cooks for me at home." ”
In 2017, when Jin Chaoqun sang in Bangkok, he suddenly found that he could not remember the familiar lyrics, and he realized that his body may be wrong.
After returning to Taiwan, he found that he had a brain tumor after examination, and before the operation, he instructed his wife, who said: "I'm gone, don't look for a small white face, you know?" ”
Fortunately, the operation was successful, and Jin Chaoqun also recovered his health later.
However, compared with before, his job is gradually much less, after all, he is 70 years old.
The most recent public appearance was when he was on crutches to a memorial service for his friend Zheng Shaofeng.
In the photo, his mental state is not bad.
However, after all, a serious illness, he also lost a lot of weight.
Now that the old man has faded out of the screen and completely returned to family life, I hope that the old man will pay more attention to the body, after all, the old drama bone is really getting less and less now.
