The saying that "Hong Kong dramas are dead" has been going on for many years. I don't know how many people are still watching Hong Kong dramas.
But Hong Kong dramas were indeed once the most special existence in the Chinese film and television industry.
Speaking of Hong Kong dramas, especially Hong Kong industry dramas, many people will think of "Heaven and Earth Man", "Laughing at the Storm", and " Genesis ".
When it comes to Hong Kong costume dramas, the first reaction of this audience is probably "The Golden Branch" and "The Palace".
These are all well-produced dramas, exquisite, grand and pure, and have therefore become classics on the screen.
However, in recent years, Hong Kong entertainment has been declining. Coupled with the rise of ancient puppets, modern puppets, and fantasy dramas in domestic entertainment, the presence of Hong Kong dramas has continued to decline.
The previous Hong Kong dramas with high reputation are all old dramas from more than ten years ago, or even twenty or thirty years ago.
In recent years, although there have been some excellent Hong Kong dramas such as "Golden Night Mansion", "White Strongman", and "News Queen", on the whole, Hong Kong dramas seem to only have the classics of the past and the feelings of old Hong Kong drama fans.
Is this the decline of Hong Kong dramas? Don't worry, the drama is coming.
"Heir of Family Glory" is scheduled to be broadcast exclusively on Youku on May 13th. The lineup is quite strong. After watching the trailer, I jumped right in. There is another good show to watch!
Seduction and temptation, the battle for family property
"The Successor of Family Glory" tells the story of the Qiu family, the eldest granddaughter Qiu Haoer ( Charmaine Sheh ) has outstanding abilities, but because she is not a boy, and her father is indifferent to fame and fortune , so she has always been unpopular in the family.
However, when the old man of the Qiu family was seriously ill, a power of attorney directly appointed Qiu Haoer to act as the chairman of the group on important matters. This made the descendants of the Qiu family, who were originally relatively balanced, smell something bad.
As soon as the story begins, the audience is shown the extraordinary story quality of the play.
The old man of the Qiu family passed away, and in his will, he actually allocated 60% of the shares to his eldest granddaughter Qiu Haoer. This was like dropping a bomb into a calm lake, causing a thousand waves in an instant.
In order to fight for the family property, Qiu Zhibin (played by Luo Ziyi) promised his father that he would do everything cleanly.
This makes people wonder, what does he want to do? Could it be that he wanted to kill people and silence them?
The next moment, the trailer gave the answer: beauty plan .
In order to seize the shares from Qiu Haoer, Qiu Zhibin directly hired Gao Jun ( Lin Feng) to stage a beauty trick to seduce Qiu Haoer and try to trick her into giving up the shares.
However, Gao Jun was obviously a playboy. He was dating Qiu Haoer here, but he had a fierce kiss with another beautiful woman at home.
Qiu Haoer is emotionally frustrated here, and the rest of the Qiu family over there is not happy either. As said in the trailer, "The relationship between the whole family is more chaotic than a mass grave."
Complex interpersonal relationships, open and secret struggles in a large family, "The Successor of Family Glory" brings the audience a battle for family property full of the flavor of a classic Hong Kong drama.
Derailment, kidnapping, car accident, a series of transactions where fame and fortune are intertwined, ambiguity, attraction, entanglement, how many human calculations are hidden behind the turbulent emotions.
The trailer of "The Successor of Family Glory" not only gives the audience enough tension, but also leaves enough suspense and blank space.
What are the causes and consequences behind every fierce quarrel? It's like a kitten scratching people, making people feel itchy.
However, in addition to the hooking plot, what made the audience feel at ease and follow the show is that the actors in "The Heir of Family Glory" are really awesome.
Charmaine Sheh stars in the lead role, and the supporting roles are so surprising
Characters are the soul of a Hong Kong workplace drama. Only by shaping the characters well can the show shine. The most interesting aspect of "Heir to Family Glory" is that the actors portray the various beings behind the struggle for power among large families.
ranked first, Charmaine Sheh.
After rectifying the news circle, "Sister Man" came to the rich circle again.
As a leading actor in Hong Kong dramas, Charmaine Sheh has countless masterpieces. Charmaine Sheh's acting skills are obvious to the audience in "The Golden Branch", "Forensic Pioneer 2", "The Palace" and last year's "News Queen".
In the new drama, Charmaine Sheh plays the heroine Qiu Haoer. Compared with the queen-like and elegant queen in "News Queen", Qiu Haoer is a family leader who is ambitious but also tender.
Witnessing her boyfriend's betrayal with her own eyes, Qiu Haoer's eyes were red and she stared at him tightly. There was disappointment and sadness in her eyes, and she held back the tears to prevent them from falling.
When her boyfriend came to see her, Qiu Haoer slapped him with a decisive expression, directly radiating the inner resentment of the character.
When discussing group affairs with his father, Qiu Haoer toasted with his father with a smile on his face and looked ambitious.
Charmaine Sheh's acting skills are so solid. With her here, you don't have to worry about her acting skills in the new drama.
ranked second, Lin Feng.
The May Day movie "The Siege of Kowloon Walled City " once again allowed the audience to see the charm of Raymond Lam. In the new drama, Raymond Lam changes from his down-and-out appearance in the movie and puts on a crisp suit, looking elite.
In the new drama, Raymond Lam plays the male lead Gao Jun. In the
picture, I don’t know what Gao Jun saw through the car window, with tears in his eyes, disbelief and anger on his face, and the hatred in the character’s heart suddenly surged out.
Raymond Lam's acting skills are enough to fully portray the domineering and human side of the character. This role needs to be outstanding.
The third place is Xu Shaoxiong.
Audiences should be familiar with this veteran drama actor. In Hong Kong dramas, Hui Siu-hung is a rare golden supporting role.
In the new drama "The Successor of Family Glory", Xu Shaoxiong plays Qiu Shouren, the eldest son of Qiu who is indifferent to fame and fortune. This man looks loyal and honest, but I always feel that his identity is unusual.
In the new drama, Hui Shaoxiong plays Charmaine Sheh's father. These two powerful actors are acting together on the same stage. This drama is worth watching.
ranked fourth, Luo Ziyi.
Luo Ziyi has contributed outstanding acting skills in dramas such as "Up to the Sky 2", " Flying Tiger ", and "Heroes of the Walled City".
In the new drama, he plays the role of Qiu Zhibin, the only male grandson of the Qiu family. He is obsessed with gaining power in the family and is greedy for profit. When he talks harshly to Qiu Haoer, his explosive power cannot be underestimated.
I think Luo Ziyi’s role should shine this time.
fifth place, Gong Cien.
Veteran drama star Gong Cien has contributed outstanding acting skills in dramas such as "包青天", "The Kind Doctor Under the Stars", and "News Queen". With her here, the quality of the acting in this drama will surely be even better. Floors.
In addition, Huang Haoran, Liu Jiang, Zhang Fengni, Chen Jing and other powerful actors will play important roles in the play, so you don’t have to worry about the characters.
Conclusion
As early as ten years ago, the argument that "Hong Kong drama is dead" was popular in the industry.
Are Hong Kong dramas dead?
seems to be dead, but not there anymore. For example, last year, a dark horse Hong Kong drama "News Queen" heated up the entire Hong Kong drama scene.
Although Hong Kong dramas have been released in recent years, only a handful of them can make waves in the mainland market.
Even if there are a few well-received works here and there, there is still a long way to go before the Hong Kong dramas in their peak period.
For the older generation of Hong Kong drama fans, they hope that "The Successor of Family Glory" will be popular. From a certain perspective, they hope that the glory of Hong Kong dramas can continue.
Because Hong Kong dramas were once a way for a generation to understand the world.
started to understand the stock market from " Great Era ", and looked at real estate from "Creating the World". "Golden Branch Desire" made me understand that human nature is like this within the red wall.
Hong Kong dramas have always told us, "Good and evil are not that simple.""The Great Era", "Heaven and Earth", "Genesis" and other dramas, after watching each drama, good people can become bad, and bad people can become good.
There is actually no clear dividing line between good and evil. Human nature is the answer to the story.
As a Hong Kong drama fan, I hope Charmaine Sheh and "The Successor of Family Glory" can once again achieve the success of "News Queen" and bring Hong Kong dramas back to the top of the market.
