That year, two goddesses, Teresa Teng and Zhang Ailing, passed away one after another, while Wang Feng, Wang Leehom and May made their debut in unison.
On the stage of the Spring Festival Evening, Zhao Benshan, the "king of sketches", made his debut. In the film circle, the star's A Chinese Odyssey began to become popular in the mainland.
At the same time, a TV series about educated youth was sought after by thousands of people in that year. For 26 years, he has been sitting firmly on the list of Douban high-scoring TV dramas and has become a classic memory of a generation-"karma".
Karma is adapted from the novel of the same name by writer Ye Xin. It tells the story of five children who went to Shanghai from Xishuangbanna to find their biological parents, which opened a bloody past of educated youth going to the countryside.
The drama was first broadcast on Shanghai TV station in Shanghai dialect, which set an ultra-high audience rating of 42.62%, and started two episodes of evening TV series.
At that time, the audience was very enthusiastic about karma. Even during the broadcast, the TV station had to choose to stop broadcasting the program for one day because of the "Star Love Concert" program. Some viewers who were eager to see the update of karma called the TV station and asked if it would be broadcast that night.
At that time, the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, which was broadcast at the same time, was once reduced from 15% to 8.6% under the impact of karma.
Why does this play have such charm?
First, this drama has a strong symbol of "educated youth", reflecting the joys and sorrows of a generation, and many plots in the drama reflect the confusion and desire of a group of people.
Ba Jin, who was 94 years old at that time, lamented every time he read the update of karma. "This is the life of a generation that has passed." This shows the depth of the play.
Secondly, the excavation of human nature in karma,
It is worth mentioning that Ye Xin, the original author and screenwriter of this drama, once lived as an intellectual youth for ten years.
On the day he left the countryside, he met an educated youth from Shanghai who married a local farmer. According to the policy at that time, she could not return to the city.
Ye Xin looked at the educated youth smiling with her child in her arms and asked, "What do you do?" .
The next second, the female educated youth's face was silent and said nothing.
Later, Ye Xin learned many similar stories one after another, which led to the novel Karma.
Today, Pigou won't talk to you about the plot, but about the main creative personnel in the play. Twenty-six years later, how are they doing now?
1, Zhao Youliang (played by Shen Ruochen)
Zhao Youliang plays Shen Ruochen in the play. When she jumped the queue in Xishuangbanna, she married Wei, a local Dai woman, and gave birth to her daughter Shen.
After returning to Shanghai, he became the editor of Law and Life magazine and married Mei Yunqing.
But when his daughter was found, he, her and his current wife were in trouble.
It is also such an image of a "Shanghai man" that makes the audience feel more cordial.
This drama is also the first TV series starring Zhao Youliang.
1966 After graduating from Shanghai Theatre Academy, I have been engaged in drama performance. 1987 became famous for playing Qu Qiubai in Death of Autumn White.
Later, he appeared in many classic film and television dramas, such as the Battle for the Son, 2 1 day, Secret Order 1949, College Entrance Examination 1977, Blue Bone and so on.
After more than 40 years of debut, Zhao Youliang once said that devoting himself to art is his lifelong pursuit, and it is also because the role really touched his soul.
Such an old play bone is really admirable.
Now at the age of 77, he has returned to his family and enjoyed his old age. He rarely appears in film and television works.
2. Yan Xiaopin (Mei Yunqing)
As a "stepmother", Mei Yunqing was very unpopular with the audience from the beginning.
But to be fair, she grew up in a very good family environment and is also the backbone of sales in the unit, with strong backbone.
In the face of Maixia's arrival, her refusal is normal.
But after all, she has a kind heart. After many twists and turns, she finally chose to accept the reality and make up with Xia Mei.
Yan Xiaopin, who plays Mei Yunqing, was also a famous goddess in 1980s. After being admitted to Beijing Film, she participated in the TV series "Gold and Silver Bay" when she was a student.
But in the rising period of her career, she gave up her career for her boyfriend Zeng Hai.
1988, they got married in a low-key way and went to America.
1993 "Beijingers" During casting in new york, director Zheng Xiaolong took a fancy to Yan Xiaopin who came to visit Jiang Wenban and invited her to play the role of Guo Yan in the play.
With this drama, Yan Xiaopin became popular and returned to the film and television circle.
1995, "karma" started, and Yan Xiaopin climbed to the top with the ratings of the play.
Since then, she has appeared in many hit dramas, such as Road to the Sky, Camellia and Falling Flowers Season.
In 2000, her husband Zeng Hai returned to China, and the couple ended their years of transnational separation. During this period, Yan Xiaopin also gave birth to two sons, and their married life was very happy.
At the age of 56, she is still active in the film and television circle, with many works.
This year alone, there are two dramas, the ideal life of love and the heart of jade. To be reasonable, her temperament is still very good, and she has a quiet beauty.
3. Jin Xin (Liang Mancheng)
Jin Xin plays Liang Mancheng who has a family in karma.
As an ambitious young man, he wanted to start a career after returning to Shanghai, but in reality, he was assigned to a cinema as a projectionist.
Although he had a dream in his heart, the cruelty of reality and the weakness of his character made him compromise. After all, the whole family huddled in a house with a size of only 8 square meters, and the arrival of his son Liang made the life of the family worse.
Jin Xin, graduated from 1977, was assigned to Shanghai People's Art Theatre as a drama actor for 44 years.
As an old opera bone, he has many works.
As early as 198 1, he won the title of "198 1 Best Actor in Bayi Film Studio" for his feature film Long Road.
Although it didn't catch on later, his works have become the memory of a generation, such as The Cuckoo Calls for Spring, The Sound of the Wind Screaming, The Red Bean in the Northland and so on.
After this play, he did not appear in film and television works for more than ten years, and only focused on drama performance. It was not until 2007 that he reappeared in the audience's sight, and his works were mainly dramas, such as Blue Blood and Founding the People's Republic.
Outside of his career, his marriage is still very happy.
His wife is Huang Meiying, one of the earliest actresses in China, who played Wang Yaru's sister in Sex and the Man.
They are brother and sister, 198 1 married.
In this 40-year marriage, they have always loved each other as before and are recognized as model couples in the entertainment circle.
It is worth mentioning that their son Jin is now a small director. He once made a film about slums in India and won the Golden Seed Award. His future is still very good.
4. Wu Mian (Ling Shanshan)
Wu Mian plays Ling Shanshan who works in a factory.
I believe that in the eyes of many people, she is a good wife and mother of China.
Although in life, her personality is a bit pungent and even strong, but she treats her husband and children with great care.
Even Liang's stepson knows that Aunt Shanshan is very nice.
Wu Mian was born in Shanghai, 1977 was admitted to Shanghai Theatre Academy, and fell in love with plateau students. After graduation, she married Plateau and worked in Harbin Repertory Theatre.
198 1 year starred in the first work "Fire in July" and made his debut. 1989 starred in Hanzheng Street and won the Flying Award for Best Actress. 1990, starring in the family ethical emotional drama Tianya Qing. 1992 won the Golden Eagle Award for Best Supporting Actress for The Shanghai Family.
In the past 40 years, although he has never made a big splash, his career has been steadily rising and he is active in the film and television circle. There are two works published this year, namely "Jin Xin's Future" and "8090".
Interestingly, in karma, there is another actress named Jason Wu. They have many similarities. Not only were they all born in Shanghai in the 1950s, but they also played similar roles and even looked alike. No wonder many people can't tell the difference.
5. Tu Ruying (decorated in)
Compared with the previous films, Yu Yinle played by Tu Ruying is a bit miserable.
Because I gave birth to a child with a local man when I jumped the queue in Xishuangbanna, I returned to Shanghai and re-entered the marriage, which was not welcomed by my husband's family.
Although she is the wife of a self-employed boss and lives a carefree life, in fact, she can't get her husband's love and can't bear the responsibility as a mother.
What a poor woman!
In 1980s, Tu Ruying was a famous actress.
After graduating from high school, she worked in literature and art at Dongfanghong Farm in Chongming Island. At that time, the literary propaganda team here was very strong, and movie stars such as Pan Hong and Huang Meiying all went out from here.
Since 1980, Tu Ruying has been seconded to Xi 'an Film Studio to perform films, starring in many famous films, such as Awakening, Sowing Happy People, and Spark of the Soul.
In 1990s, he was transferred to Shanghai TV Station and participated in many TV series.
After this karma, she starred in San Mao's Wandering, but then she chose to rest and disappeared into public view, which is really a pity.
6. Chi Huaqiong (played by Ma Yumin)
Ma Yumin in karma is definitely a representative of "rebellion".
The behavior and maturity of this "little sister" surprised the audience, especially in the part where I went to "catch the rape", which vividly showed the youthful performance.
In fact, Chi Huaqiong is totally for the director. Although she was just a "little sister", she finally acted with her heart.
Before filming karma, Chi Huaqiong had attracted the attention of many directors because of his role in Sixteen-year-old.
After filming karma, she was attracted by Liu Hulan's cast because of her outstanding performance as Fang Rong in The Promise.
From 65438 to 0996, Liu Hulan appeared on the big screen, and Chi Huaqiong reached the peak of his career with this role, and later appeared in many films such as Meeting in the Rain.
However, when she reached middle age, she gradually faded out of the film and television circle. In 2003, she published her first book, Out of the Sixteen-year-old Flower Season.
Compared with the smooth sailing in her career, her feelings seem a bit tortuous.
She talked about a young man in Beijing in her early years, but this relationship only lasted for nine months, just because of her incompatible personality.
Now that she is 46 years old, her feelings are a mystery.
7. (decorated with Shen ornaments)
Shen in karma is a stubborn girl.
After her biological mother died, she came to Shanghai to look for her father. In the process of getting along, she was ridiculed and treated coldly, but in the end she was recognized by her father and relatives.
She was already a child star when the play was filmed, and she once appeared in the juvenile version of Six Fingers Qin Magic.
She is the youngest actress in karma, but she rehearses for more than ten hours every day, no less than half a minute.
So she acted so well that when karma was broadcast, she walked into the street and was recognized by the audience. The other party also said, "If they don't want you, I'll take you back."
