In the past two years, many major dramas have been released in the domestic film and television drama market.
"Hurry" starring Zhang Songwen and Zhang Yi, with a super lineup and Zhang Songwen's outstanding performance, made Gao Qiqiang famous.
There is also a drama version of "The Three-Body Problem" by Yu Hewei and Zhang Luyi. The quality of the drama far exceeds expectations, allowing the audience to feel the charm of Chinese science fiction.
Of course, there is also the absolute hit drama of 2023, "The Long Season" starring Fan Wei, Qin Hao, and Chen Minghao. This drama delicately and dramatically shows the long old time of a generation of Northeastern people, like fine wine. , the more you taste it, the stronger it will be, and the more you taste it, the more flavorful it will be!
However, I believe many viewers have also discovered that when domestic dramas with various themes are booming, the domestic sitcoms that once set off a ratings frenzy seem to have withdrawn from the stage of history, not only in terms of number, but also very few , works of excellent quality are even rarer.
Before, there was " I love my family ", "The Story of the Cooking Class", " Wulin Gaiden ", "Underground Traffic Station" and " Love Apartment ". Now, there is nothing left. The domestic film and television drama market has not produced a decent sitcom for many years.
However, although there is no good sitcom, there is a new drama that may be closer to a sitcom and may meet everyone's expectations. This drama is the martial arts light comedy "Happy Heroes: Young Heroes Gaiden " directed by Shang Jing, who has directed "Wulin Gaiden" and "The Story of the Cooking Class".
This drama is adapted from Gu Long’s novel of the same name, with a total of 51 episodes. It will be launched on the Tencent platform on March 7. The show doesn't have much publicity, but it's worth watching just for director Shang Jing's ability alone!
Next, I will give you a brief introduction. Interested viewers should not miss it.
1: What story are you telling?
Fugui Villa reminds me of Tongfu Inn!
This is a line in the trailer of "Happy Heroes: Young Heroes Gaiden". If this sentence comes from other people's mouths, it may be a second creation. However, coming from the mouth of Capt. Xing (played by Fan Ming), it really has a different taste.
Especially when it appears in the drama directed by Shang Jing, it is full of emotions, making people return to the laughing Tongfu Inn and back to the TV in 2006.
As mentioned above, the play is adapted from Gu Long's novel of the same name, which mainly revolves around the growth of four young heroes in "Wealthy Villa". It tells us an alternative comedy story full of laughter and a strong martial arts atmosphere.
"Fugui Villa" in Ping'an Town is the residence of the "Bai Laohui", a famous gang in the world. It is controlled by three elders and has always been safe. However, the three elders are old and already somewhat incapable of dealing with the affairs of the Board of Directors.
Therefore, they wanted to train their children Lin Taiping (Yang Jue), Yan Qi (Lan Yingying), and Wang Dong (Sun Yizhou) to be their successors, but their wish came true. However, things go wrong, and Cheng Yaojin appears on the way. The civilian hero Guo Dalu ( Bai Ke) appears out of nowhere, disrupting the plans of the three elders.
The four young heroes became friends. In order to prove their abilities, they opened a martial arts school, a newspaper office, and even a theater troupe and worked as detectives. But no matter how hard they worked, it seemed that they were not good at doing business. Not only did they not make any money, but the more they worked, the poorer they became.
And, more importantly, because they were messing around, their opponents took advantage of the situation and caused them a lot of trouble.
In the end, the four young heroes worked together to eliminate the crisis of hostility, and gradually gained a firm foothold and became able to make a living.
The three elders also noticed the growth of the four young heroes and planned to pass on the position of elder to three people.
However, at this time, the young heroes decisively rejected the elder's request.

However, at this time, the young heroes decisively rejected the elder's request.Because, after everything they have experienced, they already have their own understanding of heroes.
A hero does not necessarily have to do big things or be responsible. People who can bring joy to others in the ordinary are also heroes!
2: What’s interesting?
After reading the previous plot introduction, I think everyone has discovered it. Although the story of "Happy Heroes: Young Heroes Gaiden" seems complicated, in essence, it is similar to "Wulin Gaiden".
In the play, the four young heroes work together to start a business and make a living. In fact, they open Tongfu Inn in the same way as Tong Xiangyu and Lao Bai. In terms of the main plot, there is not much difference between the two dramas at the narrative level.
However, the only difference is that "Wulin Gaiden" is a pure sitcom. And this "Happy Hero" is more like a martial arts comedy like last year's hit drama, "Legend of the Magpie Sword" starring Zhao Benshan.
Of course, the core is similar, which means that we have the opportunity to see director Shang Jing’s best work again. Although there is no sequel to "Wulin Gaiden" now. But it would also be good to regard this "Happy Heroes" as a companion piece to "Wulin Gaiden".
In addition, it’s okay not to compare. Once you rely on "Wulin Gaiden", it is inevitable to raise your expectations.
"Happy Heroes" is not only the work of director Shang Jing, but also the type of story he is good at. Whether this drama can reach the quality of "Wulin Gaiden" is also a highlight and worth looking forward to.
3: Who are the actors?
The popularity of "Wulin Gaiden" is not only due to its excellent script and great director, it is also inseparable from the excellent performance of the actors.
When I read it before, I thought it was nothing.
Now let’s look back at the casting of “Wulin Gaiden”, whether it’s Yan Ni’s Tong Xiangyu, Sha Yi’s Bai Zhantang, Teacher Fan Ming’s Xing Captou, Yao Chen’s Guo Furong, Yu Entai’s Lu Qinghou, and The casting choices played by Jiang Chao and even Mo Xiaobei played by Wang Shasha are just right.
Even, it is no exaggeration to say that many guest supporting roles in the drama also played the role of icing on the cake, and their contributions cannot be ignored.
In this "Happy Heroes", the performance of the actors is also very important.
According to the latest information, the main actors of "Happy Heroes" include Yang Jue, Sun Yizhou, Lan Yingying, Bai Ke, Fan Ming, Jia Bing, Liu Yajin, Wang Lina, etc., with the protagonist and supporting roles, a total of 8 well-known actors to help out. . Although the actors
don't look as luxurious as "Wulin Gaiden", at a glance, they all have their own characteristics and deserve special attention.
First, Bai Ke
mentioned Bai Ke, I don’t know what everyone thinks of it. Anyway, I have always been a loyal audience of Bai Ke. I have been paying attention to his performance since he participated in "Never Expected".
In my opinion, he is a real comedian, someone who can make you laugh even if he stands silently but just moves his eyebrows. The Wang Dachui he played in the play is still full of pictures when I recall it.
In recent years, Baike has intended to transform and get rid of the label that he can only act in comedies. So far, it has begun to bear fruit. He has already played an important role in "Ask the Cangmang", which can be regarded as recognition of his acting skills by people in the industry.
He also had a good performance in the movie "The Annual Party Can't Stop", which will be released in 2024.
This time, Baike participated in "Happy Heroes". This drama was filmed in 2018, when Baike was still active on the comedy stage. Presumably his sense of comedy is still at its peak, so it is worth looking forward to what kind of performance Bai Ke will have in this drama.
Second, Sun Yizhou
Those who like sitcoms must be familiar with Sun Yizhou. He is also an important role in "Love Apartment". In my personal opinion, besides Chen He's Zeng Xiaoxian, Lu Ziqiao played by Sun Yizhou should be the second most amusing character.
Even in some scenes, Sun Yizhou's performance was too good, which somewhat stole Chen He's limelight.
Compared with Shang Baike, Sun Yizhou's transformation was actually earlier. After "Love Apartment", Sun Yizhou rarely acted in comedies. He has tried many different types of roles one after another, playing the villain in spy dramas and important roles in suspense dramas.
Today's Sun Yizhou has long since gotten rid of the label of only acting in comedies and has become a capable actor.
This time, Sun Yizhou participated in "Happy Heroes". We have the opportunity to witness the performance of the top comedian Sun Yizhou, which is also a highlight.
Thirdly, Yang Jue
Yang Jue is the son of the famous actor Yang Lixin. Yang Lixin is an old acquaintance of everyone. In "I Love My Family", he played Jia Zhiguo, which brought laughter to many families.
In the minds of many people, "I Love My Family" has always been the pinnacle of domestic sitcoms and a king-like existence.
As the saying goes, a tiger father has no dog sons. Yang Lixin's acting skills are superb, and Yang Jue's acting skills are actually not bad either. In the early years, Yang Jue didn't have many works, and it's hard to see why. But in recent years, as his works have continued to be produced, his acting skills have also been recognized by everyone.
This time, Yang Jue will participate in "Happy Heroes". It is worth looking forward to whether he can amaze the audience like his father.
Fourth, Fan Ming
Fan Ming Actually, I don’t need to say more. I can rest assured about his acting skills, especially in martial arts sitcoms, so there is no need to worry. Even if he just plays Capt. Xing all over again, I don't think it's an exaggeration.
"Happy Heroes" invited Fan Ming and waited for the show to begin.
Fifth, Jia Bing
is different from the previous ones. Jia Bing is a comedian who has gradually risen in recent years. Before, Jia Bing was just a sketch actor, appearing on various major and minor sketch stages all year round, and rarely showed his talent in film and television dramas.
Since Jia Bing participated in "Hurry" and played a boss, his acting skills have been recognized by the audience. Now Jia Bing can not only play comedies, but also other roles. The fact that "Flying Life 2" can find him as the starring role is an example.
I look forward to seeing more treasures from Jia Bing.
