Here are 19 hidden stories about A Cut of Plum:
1. As we all know, "A Cut of Plum" is a song sung by Fei Yuqing, written by the doll, and composed by Peter Chen (the signature of this song uses the name of his daughter Chen Yi).
But what you may not know is that the three main creators of this song are not the original name, Fei Yuqing's real name is Zhang Yanting, the doll's real name is Chen Yuzhen, and Chen Peter's real name is Chen Xiaoyin, all three of them are godfathers and godmothers of the Taiwanese pop music circle.
2. There are three dolls in the Taiwanese music scene, one is the singer Jin Zhijuan who sang "Across the Ocean to See You", one is Cai Xingjuan, who sang "Ask for Love", and the other is the famous lyricist Chen Yuzhen. Songs written by Chen Yuzhen such as Peng Jiahui's "Meet and Hate the Night", as well as the original "Pale Yellow Long Skirt", Tao Zhe's "MELODY", Zhang Guorong's "Refuse to Play Again", Jacky Cheung's "Want to Blow the Wind with You", Zhang Liangying's "The Sound of Flowers"...
3. Chen Yuzhen is the representative of the low-key singer, then Chen Peter is the typical model of the singer who is more popular, he himself is a singer debut, but also for others to write songs.
In the 1970s and 1980s, the songs written by Peter Chen almost exploded, in addition to Fei Yuqing's "A Cut of Plum", as well as Feng Feifei's "Love", Zhang Xing's "A Road", Jiang Yuheng's "Yesterday's Dream Is Far Away"... At its peak, the top three on the radio charts were his songs. There was once a popular saying in the Taiwanese music scene: "Who can't go down, find Peter Chen to write a song, and it will be solved immediately." ”
In 2018, Peter Chen appeared on the stage of "The Voice of China" at the age of 74, and he played and sang a song "remember me" on the stage, and the tutors sitting on the stage were Li Jian, Jay Chou, Nicholas Tse and Yu Chengqing, and none of the mentors turned for him at that time.
4. At present, the earliest version of "A Cut of Plum" can be searched on the Internet, from Fei Yuqing's album released in April 1983, the album is called "Yangtze River Water • This Love Never Stays".
But there is also a theory that before this album, the earliest version was "A Cut of Plum" sung by Fei Yuqing for the TV series "Border City Dream Back", as the theme song of the TV series. However, due to the accident of the TV station, a lot of information was damaged, including this version of "A Cut of Plum" and the TV series "Border City Dream Back", as well as two TV series starring Fei Yuqing, and the "LirenXing" program hosted by Fei Yuqing's three sisters and brothers in the early days.
Fei Yuqing's third brother: the eldest sister Zhang Yanqiong, once debuted as a sexy actress under fei Zhenya's stage name, and later retired from the circle, the second brother Zhang Fei, once a variety show brother, and then the little brother Fei Yuqing, a singer.
5. In December 1984, Taiwan broadcast the TV series "One Cut Plum", Fei Yuqing sang the theme song of the same name for the TV series again, "One Cut Plum", it is said that many people wanted to sing the theme song of "One Cut Plum" at that time, but the director insisted that this song must be sung by Fei Yuqing. With the broadcast of the TV series "A Cut of Plum", the TV series, and Fei Yuqing's "One Cut of Plum", and even the entire "Yangtze River Water" album, all the way out of Taiwan, Hong Kong, all over Southeast Asia.
In the mid-6.80s, the mainland began to gradually introduce Hong Kong and Taiwan TV dramas, and the earliest selected Taiwanese TV series was "A Cut of Plum", and the specific introduction time is said to be 1986, and it is said to be 1988. In short, after the introduction of "A Cut of Plum", TV dramas and theme songs also quickly swept the north and south of the Yangtze River, and "snowflakes fluttering, the north wind whistled" has also become a well-known golden song in the hearts of a generation of Chinese people.
7. The weight of "A Cut of Plum" in the minds of the previous generation of Chinese people, if it is necessary to distinguish, about 50% of songs, TV series also account for 50%, the two complement each other, but also inseparable. And this ancient TV series, most of the young people today have not seen, simply to popularize it, is a story that happened in the small town of the Republic of China for two generations of love and hate. Although it was a TV series thirty or forty years ago, when it comes to the actors of this drama, in fact, you are not strangers to the post-80s or even post-90s.
8. The heroine Shen Hairong, she played Shen Xinci and Liang Xiuyun in the play.
Look at the photos, there is no little bit of familiarity. Yes, the Fu Jin in the famous Qiong Yao drama "Plum Blossom Branding", although in the play she plays Ma Jingtao's adoptive mother, but in fact, she is only 4 years older than Ma Jingtao.
9. Let's talk about the male protagonist, Kou Shixun.
This uncle should be more familiar to everyone, Zhou Xun's father in "Like Fog Like Rain and Like Wind" (this drama everyone should have seen it, all handsome and beautiful women, super high value, except for Sun Honglei dbq),
Interestingly, two years later, in Li Shaohong's "Oranges Are Red", Kou Shixun and Zhou Xun became husband and wife again. A while ago, Zhou Xun went to "Longing for Life" and recalled many stories about filming this drama with Huang Lei.
For a while, Kou Shixun filmed a lot of scenes in the mainland, often playing the kind of gangster boss, or the grandfather of the big family, and the aura was still full. I haven't seen him much in recent years.
There is also a famous gossip about him, that is, he has two wives at the same time, each of whom gave birth to a son and a daughter, and a while ago he was sick and hospitalized, and the two wives took turns to take care of him. Well, it seems to be very powerful.
10. Don't look at everyone now think that Kou Shixun is an uncle, or even a grandfather, who was also one of the four famous students in Taiwan. In the early years, many Taiwanese TV dramas introduced to the mainland have his figure, and one of them is very famous, that is, "Last Night's Stars", it doesn't matter if you haven't heard it, the theme song your mother will definitely sing, even Zhao Lirong performed on the Spring Night, "Last night's, last night's stars have fallen and disappeared into the distant Milky Way...", absolutely well-known.
11. Speaking of "A Cut of Plum", another male protagonist, Zhang Chenguang, was also a famous Taiwanese student with the same name as Kou Shixun, who won the Best Actor Award of the Taiwan Golden Bell Awards with "Four Young People in Beijing", and should have seen this play after 80.
The post-90s should be more familiar with the image of his rich businessman father in mainland TV dramas over the years, the most famous of which should be Tong Dawei's father in "Struggle".
The most recent time to make a deep impression was to play Mr. Wu in "That Year the Flowers Bloomed and the Moon Was Round", which is worthy of being an old drama bone, although it only appeared in just a few episodes, it was absolutely overwhelming.
12. There is also a character worth mentioning in "A Cut of Plum", Li Lie, who plays the female partner Wan Qiuling.
The most famous gossip about this is, of course, that she and Luo Dayou have been in love for many years, but they divorced after less than two years of marriage.
Don't look at Li Lie's appearance in the play, Wen Wanxianhui, in fact, he is quite a powerful character. After divorcing Luo Dayou, she began to work as a film and television producer, and the first TV series she produced was shortlisted for nine Golden Bell Awards, "Mengjia" and "Roll Over, A Xin" were all produced by her, and Ruan Jingtian and Zhao Youting had to call her Sister Lie.
The 13.84 version of "A Cut of Plum" and "Last Night's Star" were later remade in the mainland, especially "A Cut of Plum" was remade more than once, the 2000 version starred Zhao Wenzhuo Jiang Qinqin, and later renamed "Qinghe Love".
In 2009, it was remade again as "New One Cut Plum", starring Huo Jianhua and others, and the title song of this version of the TV series was invited back to Fei Yuqing to join again, and the little brother re-sang the new version of "One Cut Plum" with a new arrangement.
14. With the singing of "A Cut of Plum" in the 1980s, Fei Yuqing exploded in the mainland, especially in the Jiangnan area. He calls his fans "Zhiyin", like his "Zhiyin" is also very affectionate, Fei Yuqing since 2003, every year to Shanghai to open concerts, every year full, as a miracle of the Shanghai performance market.
15. In the popular comedy movie "Charlotte Troubles" in 2015, Yuan Hua, played by Yin Zheng, was also on fire because of "A Cut of Plum". As a man who brought his own "A Cut of Plum" bgm as soon as he appeared on the scene, he frequently failed to chase after Hua Qiuya in the movie, and every time he encountered the Waterloo of life, he would automatically sound the melody of "A cut of cold plum proud of the snow...".
Oh yes, Wang Zhi, who plays Qiu Ya in the movie, is recently practicing singing in "Sister Riding the Wind and Waves", go pick sister!
16. Egg brother who went out of the circle to go abroad by singing "A Cut of Plum", his real name is Zhang Aiqin. His head is born with a special shape, and the top of his head is pointed, like an egg. His real identity is a special actor, who has starred in many film and television dramas such as "The Wandering Earth" and "Wise Tiger Mountain". Put a still of "The Wandering Earth" and look at the lower left corner of the picture below:
17. As "A Cut of Plum" became popular abroad, a parental challenge arose on Tik Tok. Chinese students took the two sentences of "snowflakes fluttering, the north wind whistled" to their parents to read, and found that every Chinese parent would automatically sing these two sentences when they read them, so this matter became a "Chinese parents can't read this lyric" in overseas Chinese circles, which shows that the previous generation of Chinese people were deeply influenced by "A Cut of Plum".
18. On November 7, 2019, Fei Yuqing officially retired after holding his last concert in Taipei. Before retiring, he spent a whole year making a solemn and long farewell, singing "A Cut of Plum" from Jiangnan to the north, from the mainland to Hong Kong, and finally back to Taipei. At the end of each show, he will say goodbye to the fans with dignity and humility: "There will be a period later, thank you, walk slowly." ”
