In the recent "Invitation Exhibition of Chinese Original Dramas", a luxurious historical drama , "Beijing Fayuan Temple", has produced a fierce response in the public and cultural circles at the same time.
Li Ao's original work, Tian Qinxin's director, Jia Yiping, Xi Meijuan, Zhou Jie and many other powerful stars and old drama bones starring lineup, the most first-class domestic creator, the national drama theater team... Such a luxurious team, in the current drama industry, can be regarded as a "top configuration". The audience sighed: such a play has not been seen for a long time.
The script and director are hard to find, not to mention. In these years, actors who can speak well and stand on the drama stage to play a historical drama, especially young actors, feel that they are about to "disappear".

Among a variety of characters, Tan Sitong, played by Jia Yiping, has become the most brilliant character in the whole drama. The pure spiritual strength and calm Zen brilliance of his body won the tears and heartbeats of many viewers.
Mention Jia Yiping, really a particularly low-key actor, will not hype, just focus on the acting career, it is not too much to say that he is a "drama idiot". After all, his works are simply classics. 16 years ago, just graduated from Chinese opera, he won the Best Newcomer Award at the 7th Chinese Film "Huabiao Awards" for his film "Silent River".

In 2002, in the TV series "Qianlong Dynasty", he was the Jiaqing Emperor designated by Jiao Huang (The Qianlong Emperor), and this play was also the first cooperation between him and Zuo Xiaoqing, a "screen couple". In 2004, he played Liu Dongbei in the TV series "Chinese Divorce", partnering Zuo Xiaoqing again. Later, Jia Yiping and Zuo Xiaoqing collaborated on the classic costume drama "Lying Down and Tasting Guts".
Zuo Xiaoqing, like Jia Yiping, has high requirements for works and scripts, which is why the two will hardly appear in "fast food IP idol dramas".
If you have an impression of the popular conscience drama "Battle Changsha" starring Huo Jianhua that year, the anti-Japanese heroine "Hu Xiangjun", who is soft and inward, is played by Zuo Xiaoqing. In addition, Zuo Xiaoqing and Wu Qilong jointly performed the youth emotional inspirational drama "About Winter", and won the "Huading Award for Best Actress" with this drama. She also partnered with Hu Jun, starring in the period emotional drama "Kangding Love Song" and the well-received "In the Silent Place", which are all quality works.
"Things are clustered by categories, people are divided by groups" This saying is not false at all, Zuo Xiaoqing's choice of cooperative partners - Hu Jun, Wu Qilong, Huo Jianhua, Jia Yiping, are some low-key and down-to-earth powerful interpreters, artists with both virtue and art.
Over the years, Jia Yiping and Zuo Xiaoqing, the "screen couple", an average of two years a drama, are very classic, and now look back, the afterglow still exists. These two people are friends with similar aura in life, and in their careers, they are also close friends for each other's achievements.
7 years ago, Jia Yiping set up his own studio and personally served as a director, during this time, he slowed down his pace, did not deliberately push himself in front of the camera, but chose to immerse himself in creation. During this period, he created classic works such as "Full House of Happiness", "Battle to Defend Happiness", and "Battle Without Smoke".
By this time, someone will surely marvel: Ah! He turned out to be the director of "Happiness Defense War", great, my brother!
However, in April this year, Jia Yiping will once again take command and go out on the expedition, starring in the male number one of the "Second Handshake" TV series, restoring the twisted and severed intestines, unforgettable, pure beauty and sadistic love story of Chinese scientists.
There may be many viewers who do not know that "The Second Handshake" was made into a movie in 1980, starring veteran performance artists Kang Tai and Xie Fang. The original manuscript of this work was imprisoned for many years during the Cultural Revolution, and the author, Mr. Zhang Yang, was imprisoned for many years!
Based on the Chinese-American physicist Wu Jianxiong, the film celebrates the patriotic spirit of Chinese intellectuals of that era by presenting su guanlan and Ding Jieqiong's tortuous career, life, and love experiences.

After 37 years, the film will once again meet the audience with the new face of the TV series. Mr. Li Weijun, the producer of "The Second Handshake", has revealed the preparation of the TV series, the male protagonist "Su Guanlan" is set to be starred by Jia Yiping, and the actress Ding Jieqiong is played by our long-awaited "screen couple" - Zuo Xiaoqing.
In the play, "Su Guanlan" is a handsome scientist with a melancholy temperament, born in an academic family, romanticism and personality that coexist with the knowledge of gewu, which perfectly matches jia Yiping's image temperament.
As for the female number one "Ding Jieqiong", people who have read the original work believe that this is a perfect woman who "has in heaven and nothing in the world". She not only has a bright and light eyebrow, elegant and pure demeanor, and has the pursuit and persistence of love, but also a tsinghua student bully, selected for the "Manhattan Project", and contributed her life to China's nuclear weapons cause. Zuo Xiaoqing, a powerful actor known as "oxygen beauty", was born in an intellectual family, not only beautiful, but also full of poetry, and it is most appropriate for her to play the role of Ding Jieqiong.
You know, the male and female protagonists in this play are not simply in love, but also contain the feelings of home and country, national consciousness, and the changes of the times, which require experienced and learned actors to complete the shaping of the role. It is reported that the director has gone through a lot of trouble when looking for actors, especially the control of the heroine.
Rather than handing over the roles to those dramas of the Cutout Party and the Stuntman Faction, we need such well-made works as "The Name of the People", "Langyabang", and "Daming Dynasty 1566" to meet the filling of the spiritual world. I believe that "The Second Handshake" is such a clear stream, bringing us back to the era of "not seen for a long time", feeling different from the impetuous current feelings.
It is reported that "The Second Handshake" will be launched on April 20, Jia Yiping, who has high appearance, high INTELLIGENCE and high emotional intelligence, joins hands with the gentle and intellectual, quiet and elegant Zuo Xiaoqing, which will definitely bring us different IP magnitude expectations!
