Many people now define Chen Qitai as a "former ATV brother", probably because he once developed well in ATV, a "millionaire" made his host identity deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and later filmed the ATV drama series "I have a date with zombies" three series of works, the popularity is greatly increased, many mainland audiences are because of this drama to recognize Chen Qitai.
However, Chen Qitai was first born in TVB, in 1990 Chen Qitai joined TVB, hosted "Hong Kong Morning", "K-100" and other programs, Jian Zhong also participated in "Goodbye is Also a Wife", 1995 version of "Divine Eagle Hero", "Big Trouble Guangchanglong" these dramas of the performance, of which Yin Zhiping, played in "Eagle Hero", is his more representative role in TVB.
Unfortunately, Chen Qitai has not been reused in TVB, where he immediately threw himself into atvestion after about tvb in 1998, did not expect to develop smoothly, and in 2001 with the hosting work of "Millionaire" became popular all over Hong Kong, which is no wonder that everyone has been positioning him as "ATV a brother", obviously TVB itself.
Chen Qitai in addition to giving people the impression of "ATV a brother", he wears a pair of glasses for many years to show the image is also deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, "glasses man" has also become his representative image, not to say in the early days, and later in addition to "I have a date with zombies", it is really rare to see Chen Qitai without glasses.
Interestingly, in Chen Qitai's new drama "Plan B" for Viutv, he once again showed the image of taking off his glasses, which caused discussion as soon as it was exposed. Don't really say, Chen Qitai's style is really refreshing, after not wearing glasses, his face is a bit vicious, but also very rough, the eyes are hidden murderous, I can't imagine that Chen Qitai, who usually looks so Sven, also has such a fierce and evil side.
First of all, "plan b" this TV series, this is Chen Qitai in violation of the eight years of shooting TV series, his last TV series is "Integrity Action 2011", he participated in one of the units of the performance, not counting the main drama, and in these eight years, Chen Qitai did not shoot dramas also because he has not joined the TV station with episode shooting plans, in 2011 Chen Qitai returned to ATV to continue to host the work, and at that time ATV has been precarious, simply unable to start filming new dramas, and then ATV closed, Chen Qitai has also been a free body, until he joined viutv in 2017, so he restarted his life of filming.
In the "plan b" drama, Chen Qitai played the gangster boss, in order to cooperate with the plot, Chen Qitai needs to show the evil side of the fierce god, it is obvious that he is not suitable for wearing glasses, and finally showed people without glasses, not to mention, Chen Qitai after taking off the glasses is really very suitable for this role, especially the look, enough to scare people to death, after the fact, many netizens said that Chen Qitai is still more comfortable wearing glasses.
In the eyes of many people, Chen Qitai's image has also been associated with glasses, from the beginning of watching her host "Millionaire", he has always shown people by wearing glasses, and the image of "glasses man" has long been deeply rooted in people's hearts. However, for the matter of wearing glasses, Chen Qitai once said that with his degree of myopia, he did not need to wear glasses at all, and later wore glasses because of the early shooting of the program, including the audition of TVB's "Hong Kong Morning", the director and producer proposed that he wear glasses, there is no other reason, is because he looks more fierce, wearing glasses will appear A lot of Sven, more conducive to the image in front of the stage.
So he began to wear glasses from the "Hong Kong Morning" program, which he wore for 30 years, the focus is that his "glasses man" identity is really very deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, which has to be admitted.
Therefore, looking back at Chen Qitai's style in "Plan B", I don't know if I can say that this is his true color? I think so, because even he himself said that he is the real self without glasses, and it is rare to make a real self in "plan b", no wonder he did not think much about it when he entered viutv, of course, there is another reason is that the role is fresh and the image has a breakthrough.
When it comes to Chen Qitai choosing to join viutv at that time, it is because he feels that viutv gives him a higher degree of freedom. After the collapse of ATV, TVB also beckoned to Chen Qitai and intended to cooperate with him to sign a contract, but Chen Qitai eventually gave up TVB, not that there was any festival with TVB before, in his words, he did not mind cooperating with any TV station, but TVB needed to sign a long contract, he did not want to be tied to death, he needed a higher degree of freedom, so he gave up and chose viutv.
It seems that it is not easy for everyone to see Chen Qitai again in tvb's episodes, but it is also good to see him perform well in Hong Kong episodes, so I look forward to the broadcast of "Plan B" next.
