"O comrade-in-arms, you disguise yourself and go deep behind enemy lines to fight; ah comrades-in-arms, you are witty and flexible and do not go to battle. Ah--victory beckons to you, the dawn is ahead..." The familiar song sounded again, and I thought, many friends, have some long-lost but intimate pictures in front of them, right?
Yes, that's the picture of an old TV series we watched 38 years ago.
This TV series is actually the first series filmed and produced in China, and the title of the film is "Eighteen Years of the Enemy Camp". And this song is the theme song, called "The Dawn is Ahead".
I still remember the scene in 1981 when the show was broadcast, and tens of thousands of people rushed to see it. At that time, the TV series we had a very limited choice of, basically what the TV station broadcast, we watched. In addition, this drama is indeed good-looking, the plot is tense, the suspense is full of suspense, and the pace is fast, so once it is broadcast, it will cause a huge sensation.
Including the actors in it, they also quickly became the stars and idols loved by the audience.
So, now that 38 years have passed, how have the actors in "Eighteen Years of the Enemy Camp" changed? Speaking of which, they are all our first generation of TV drama actors in China. But it seems that most of them have been forgotten.
Today, let's review and revisit it together.
The first thing we have to talk about is, of course, the actor jiang bo in the play - there were many friends who mistakenly thought he was Liang Polo. I think this is mainly because Liang Polo participated in a film of the same genre "Blue Files" at the same time, right? In fact, the main actor of "Eighteen Years of enemy camp" was even more famous than Liang Polo at that time, and his name was Zhang Lianwen.
Zhang Lianwen was once popular for starring in the movie "Sunny Days", and then successively starred in influential movies such as "Entrepreneurship". And "Eighteen Years in the Enemy Camp" is his first attempt to appear on television, but the performance is superior, mature and sophisticated, portraying an underground worker lurking under the eyes of the enemy and not chaotic, vivid and unforgettable.
In the eyes of more audiences, Zhang Lianwen, who has thick eyebrows and big eyes, is indeed very characteristic of the times, which is very in line with the aesthetic standards of the audience of that era, and makes people look like a "positive character".
It's just that after "Eighteen Years of Enemy Camp", the film and television dramas he participated in have a relatively limited influence. Therefore, "Eighteen Years of Enemy Camp" can be regarded as a watershed in his acting career.
Today, the handsome actor died of illness on January 4, 2019, at the age of 74. It's a pity.
Unlike Zhang Lianwen, the actor who plays the male protagonist, the actor of the female protagonist in the 81st version of "Eighteen Years of the Enemy Camp" is not famous, and now there is no news.
The actor who played the heroine Kang Ying in "Eighteen Years of the Enemy Camp", named Liu Yu, is very beautiful, is a beautiful actress, and also has the temperament of everyone's boudoir. Her character in the play is Jiang Bo's wife, another staunch underground worker, who has assisted Jiang Bo in completing tasks many times.
This is also a good actor, from the Shanghai Youth Repertory Theatre. When she was a child, she was sent to a nursery opened by foreigners because of her family's poverty, and later she was taken out by her neighbors to raise her, finished primary and junior high school in Changzhou, and then was admitted to the secondary drama school affiliated to the East China Branch of the Central Academy of Drama. In 1956, he was promoted to the acting department of the Shanghai Theater Academy, studied diligently and diligently, and was a high-achieving student in the class.
After this, Liu Yu has also played roles in movies such as "Special Emergency Alert 333", "Captain He Long", and "Acacia Women's Guest House". But it has not been famous. Later, she went to the United States for further study, and then disappeared into the vast sea of people and lost her news.
However, Zhang Jiatian, who played Tang Hua in this version of "Eighteen Years of the Enemy Camp", was extremely popular in the 80s.
"Eighteen Years of the Enemy Camp" was filmed with the assistance of Jiangxi Television station and the TV drama troupe of the China Broadcasting Art Troupe, and Zhang Jiatian was an actor in the broadcasting art troupe at that time, so it can also be regarded as a near-water tower.
Zhang Jiatian showed his acting talent in "Eighteen Years of the Enemy Camp", and portrayed Tang Hua, Jiang Bo's deputy, very successfully. As a result, he was favored by more film and television directors, and in the 1980s he starred in a series of influential film and television dramas, such as "Late Spring", "Contemporary People", "Red Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue and Purple", "Railway Guerrilla", "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and so on. Became one of the most popular students on the screen in the 80s.
Today, Zhang Jiatian has successfully transformed into a director and producer, and has done a lot of work to protect cultural heritage and intangible cultural heritage.
Like Zhang Jiatian, who became popular through the 81st version of "Eighteen Years of Enemy Camp", there is also an actress, that is, Li Xiaoli, who plays the roles of female reporter and female agent Luo Maoli.
Li Xiaoli was still studying in the acting department of the Beijing Film Academy at the time, and was selected by director Wang Fulin to play two roles in "Eighteen Years of the Enemy Camp". She worked very hard, completed the task given to her by the director well, and portrayed the images of the two characters, especially the female agent Luo Maoli, into a charming and gorgeous, which left a deep impression on the audience.
It is precisely because of Li Xiaoli's outstanding performance in "Eighteen Years of Enemy Camp", so when the director of Sang Arc in the film studio was preparing to shoot the movie "Midnight", the first thing he thought of was to invite her to play the role of Xu Manli, a socialite. And Li Xiaoli has once again proved his strength. Since then, he has successively starred in film and television dramas such as "Life", "Tomorrow To Answer You", "Red Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue and Purple", which were well received by the audience.
Now Li Xiaoli is 63 years old and has been in the shadows for many years.
When I revisited this version of "Eighteen Years of Enemy Camp", I found that there was a very pure and beautiful actress, which was considered to be the face value of it, and she was Xia Hanbi (also known as Xia Hanbi) who played Fang Ping in it.
Later, she also starred in film and television dramas such as "Chu Tian Fengyun" and "A Gasoline Barrel", and portrayed the role of Song Qingling in "Chu Tian Fengyun". Later, she became a director.
Let's tell you about the other two actors who played the role of villains.
One of them is Mei Chengzao, who plays Xuan Ziqi, who is not only an actor in this drama, but also the production director of this drama. Xuan Ziqi, who he played in it, also left an impression on the audience.
But then he put his main energy into the production work, so the audience did not see more of his roles except to see him and Dashi Chang starring in the movie "Into the Tempest".
The other is Magachi, who plays Ho Kun. He is also an actor from the TV Drama Troupe of the China Broadcasting Arts Troupe.
And the other role he plays, I believe the audience should be more familiar with, that is, Jia Baoyu's father in the 87 version of "Dream of the Red Chamber" - Jia Zheng.
Many friends may be very surprised, because in everyone's memory, the role of He Kun belongs to the typical "little white face", I did not expect that the father of Baoyu in the 87 version of "Dream of the Red Chamber" still has such a "fresh and tender" side, right? Yes, these two roles are created by Magachi, which shows how deep the actor's acting skills are.
Now that he has long retired, it is strange that he never attends the party of the 87th edition of "Dream of the Red Chamber", so few fans of the fan drama can see him again.
Open the memory, relive the classics, dear friends, when we talk about the TV series "Eighteen Years of the Enemy Camp" again today, does it evoke many memories for you? What impressed everyone the most was which actor or which bridge? Everyone is welcome to interact with more friends through the message area. I am Yaqing, thank you again for your attention and support, we will meet again at the same time tomorrow.
