Time into the 80s, China's television drama industry development showed a budding state. First of all, CCTV has continuously filmed several excellent TV series, such as "There Is a Youth" and "Eighteen Years of enemy camp". Not to be left behind, local television stations have taken action and produced many excellent works. Among them, the first TV series "Shrimp Ball" filmed by Guangdong Television Station and the first TV series "Tsunami" filmed by Shanghai Television Station have had a huge impact on the vast audience.
And now, after so many years, do you remember these two dramas? Remember the actors in those two plays?
These two dramas, compared to today's hundreds of millions of large-scale productions, of course, will appear a little rough, but the memories they bring to everyone are quite beautiful.
Today, Yaqing wants to relive and reminisce with everyone through the comparison of the past and present photos of some actors in these two dramas.
It is very interesting that most of the actors we are talking about today chose to change their careers later and did not focus on acting anymore. So what kind of professions did they all pursue later?
Let's start with "Shrimp Ball" broadcast in 1982.
The drama that left the deepest impression on everyone was the interlude "Wandering Zi Yin" sung by Cheng Fangyuan in the play, and the other was several young actors, who were Zhong Hao, the actor of Shrimp Ball, Mai Wenyan, the actor of Ah Di, and Shan Zenghong, the actor of Cowboy. Their corresponding voice actors are Tong Zirong, Liu Guangning and Zhong Shirong.
Zhong Hao, an actor, may not be as famous as his two old classmates in Chinese drama, Cai Guoqing and Xu Yajun, but in the 80s, he was a small star that many audiences could not forget.
At that time, the two roles he impressed everyone the most were shrimp balls in the TV series "Shrimp Ball Biography", and the other was Zhou Chong in the movie "Thunderstorm" directed by Sun Daolin.
When Zhong Hao became popular, Cai Guoqing and Xu Yajun were still unknown.
"Shrimp Ball" is the first TV series produced by Guangdong Television, and once it was broadcast, it received rave reviews. Moreover, the drama is also the first TV series in China to enter the overseas market, and it was also popular when it was broadcast in Southeast Asia.
"It is said that the sea is bitter and salty, who knows the sorrow and bitterness of the wandering..." Whenever the song of the square circle sounds, people's eyes will almost immediately appear in front of the shrimp ball running helplessly on the seashore, leaving sad tears for his fate.
After Zhong Hao graduated from Chinese opera, he was assigned to Chinese children's art with Cai Guoqing, Xu Yajun and others. Later, he became an excellent children's drama director. The "Moonlight Lullaby", "Little Tadpole Finds Mother", "Lemon Yellow Taste" and so on are deeply loved by children. Although he is no longer young, he is still sparing no effort to contribute to the development of Chinese children's drama.
And Mai Wenyan, who played Ah Di in "Shrimp Ball Biography", was also very popular in the 80s. She was very beautiful, and she was one of the few female stars of that era with a beautiful appearance and a foreign temperament. After starring in "Shrimp Ball Legend", she also participated in films such as "Two Midnight", "Under the Eaves of Shanghai", "Blood Is Always Hot", "This is not a misunderstanding", "Furong Town" and other movies, especially the military doctor played in "Furong Town", which left a deep impression on the audience.
Mai Wenyan chose to take pictures very early and then went overseas. Today, from her close care, she is still beautiful and moving.
There is also a flash zenghong who plays a cowboy in this version of "Shrimp Ball Legend", he and Zhong Hao, Cai Guoqing, Xu Yajun, etc. are also classmates, and were selected to join the "Shrimp Ball Legend" crew together with Zhong Hao. He always seems to play a cute and playful role, such as the cowboy in "The Legend of shrimp balls", and later acted with Xu Yajun in "Finding the World Back", and the "Little Buddha" he played in it is also like this.
This former "little clever ghost" is now the vice president of China's children's art. From his close care, he is not very old, but his hair is already gray. But it looks more elegant, right?
Below, let's take a look at the situation of several actors in the TV series "Tsunami" of Shanghai TV that year.
"Tsunami" is a novel created by writer Jun Qing. It tells that in 1942, the most difficult year of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the Changwei base area in China's Jiaodong region encountered a tsunami disaster, resulting in no harvest of crops. In the face of grain shortages among the common people in the base areas, our Eighth Route Army specially arranged a grain delivery detachment composed of Gong Mingshan, Guo Yuwen, Da Lao Jiang, and Xiao Ma to deliver grain to the base areas. Along the way, they encountered many difficulties, and almost all the soldiers of the squad were killed, but in the end the food reached their destination safely.
The novel was originally broadcast by the famous announcer Guan Shan and then broadcast on the Central People's Radio, causing great repercussions. It was under such circumstances that Shanghai Television decided to hit the iron while it was hot and make it into a TV series.
This was the first TV series ever filmed by Shanghai Tv. Like Shrimp Ball, it premiered in 1982, but only for 3 episodes. Later, after deletion, the original 14 episodes were changed to 6 episodes, and all of them were broadcast in 1984.
Like another drama that became popular before this, "Eighteen Years of the Enemy Camp", this drama also adopts the performance method of the Chinese Zhanghui novel, and the suspense is set at the end of each episode, which makes the audience addicted. So when it was broadcast, it also caused a huge sensation. Until now, there are still too many viewers who are obsessed with it.
In the play, there are also three good actors, which left a deep impression on us.
One of them is Gao Huibin, who plays the male protagonist Gong Mingshan. He was originally a famous drama actor and director of the China Youth Art Theater, and has starred in many dramas such as "Thunderstorm" and "Knife Chaser", with superb performances. In "Tsunami", he provoked the beam and successfully shaped the image of Gong Mingshan, an anti-Japanese hero with both wisdom and courage, which was deeply loved by the audience.
Later, Gao Huibin participated in film and television dramas such as "Snow Wolf". But he seems to be more fond of the broadcast of novels, and this national-level actor has broadcast and interpreted many novels such as "Chinese Painting" and "Blind Stream", leaving unforgettable memories for many listeners.
Many viewers said that Wang Zhan, who played a pony in "Tsunami", was also unforgettable.
In fact, when Wang Zhan participated in this play, he was only 14 years old, and he was just an ordinary middle school student. But because he grew up in the environment of the military cultural troupe since he was a child, he was no stranger to performance. However, Wang Zhan did not think of becoming an actor at first, but as soon as he heard that the role he played was a small hero who fought on horseback, he became interested.
It turns out that Wang Zhan's performance in "Tsunami" is quite eye-catching, and it has also become popular. After that, he participated in TV series such as "Pirates", "Poor Street", "Daredevil Is Not Ahead", "Sui and Tang Heroes Biography", "The Man Who Crossed the River of Women" and so on.
Just as he was about to make a big splash in show business, a car accident caused him to interrupt his career as an actor. Fortunately, he never left behind his homework outside of filming, especially with good foreign language scores, and he had studied in Japan, so he quickly found a new direction for himself - he began to try to translate Japanese best-selling novels into Chinese, and he was successful. Today, he has become a popular translator of novels, and "Night Hike" is his translation.
In the drama "Tsunami", there is another actor who cannot be mentioned, that is, An Zhenji, who plays the traitor Shen Fang. His performance is really vivid and vivid, so after so many years, many performances of Shen Fang's character are vividly remembered.
An Zhenji later became a very famous professor at the Shanghai Theater Academy, and served as an acting teacher for many stars such as Guo Da, Tranquility, Wang Zhiwen, Guo Donglin, Lu Yi and many other stars. In addition, he also participated in the filming of "Black Cuckoo", "Ephemeral Dream", "Dream Not Dream" and other film and television dramas.
Yes, now when we talk about several actors in "Shrimp Ball" and "Tsunami", maybe many friends have a feeling of trance, right? After all, time has passed so far, how many friends can remember them?
