Since 1983

In the blink of an eye, at the end of March, "The Last Emperor" was the first to start broadcasting, with a total of 28 episodes, one episode per day.

The filming has been in preparation for several years, and it shows Puyi's life from childhood to old age in a relatively comprehensive way. The production is excellent, and the textual research is relatively rigorous. Mr. Zhu Jiazhen was invited as a consultant.

The cast is even stronger, with Uncle Ming playing the young Puyi, Zhu Xu playing the old man, Lan Tianye playing Zaifeng, Niu Xingli playing Zhang Qianhe...all of them are drama stars.

Guo Xiaozhen (Shi Xiangyun) played Puyi's concubine Tan Yuling, and Yang Lixin played Guangxu. In addition, Ni Dahong played the role of an electrician.

There is also Hong Yuyu, that is, Zhou Yu in "Three Kingdoms", who also has a role.

The standard of this drama is quite good. Uncle Ming appeared in the eighth episode, but after three or four episodes, it has already attracted a lot of praise. Mr. Zhu Jiajin specially wrote an article, writing:

"There may be two attitudes to deal with this subject.

You can pursue gimmicks and make it into a farce, which may attract some audiences. However, since a work advertises to reproduce history, first of all, it should not violate the historical truth.

Just watching the first few episodes is not bad, for example, in the enthronement scene, there is a close-up shot of the "Nine Dragons Crank Cover" in front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony changing from close to open.

Because the princes and ministers were distributed in the compound, the emperor entered the Hall of Supreme Harmony through the partition behind the Hall of Supreme Harmony to ascend his seat, and the people in the compound could not see it. So when the 'Nine Dragons Crank Cover' is opened, it is to tell all the staff that the emperor has now ascended the throne.

So the whole environment was quiet, without any sound.

In addition, the performance is also remarkable. The actress who plays the Empress Dowager completely discards the patterns in dramas and movies, and we no longer hear long-toned and posturing language.

The Empress Dowager Longyu and Chun Wangfujin are both middle-aged women wearing open clothes and combing their hair. They have the same appearance, but the actors have shown their uselessness and cleverness respectively. They are completely different characters..."

This article is not without praise. Mr. Zhu Jiamo is a great master of Qing history. As soon as he said it, he immediately attracted a lot of viewers.

The drama is also really good, and it can be viewed as a documentary, showing many real practices and customs of the Qing Dynasty. For example, the eunuchs call the emperor not the emperor, but the old man.

This statement comes from Puyi's "My First Half of Life". He himself said that the eunuchs in the inner court are called the old man, and the ministers are still called the emperor.

The old man is similar to Lafayette, and it is a very honorable title.

Of course we find it funny, just like Cixi asked Guangxu to call himself "Dad"-a black question mark on his head.

"The Last Emperor" performed well, CCTV was relieved, and all the pressure went to Beijing TV.

Big investments and big productions, historical dramas, real scenes of the Forbidden City, big names in dramas. We shot 42 episodes for 600,000 yuan, the bullshit, the crosstalk team in Daju Hutong, and the hair is still bald...

I lost my momentum unconsciously.

But Beijing and Taiwan are rich now, such as the Spring Festival Gala videotapes, the compilation of film and television hits, the "Plainclothes Police" videotape, the Asian Games benefit performance videotape, etc., an audiovisual publication becomes a golden thigh.

He is rich and has a clear mind. Since a few days before the broadcast, newspapers in Beijing have reported one after another:

"The first domestic sitcom will air this weekend."

""Hutong Family" created a precedent for domestic sitcoms."

"The 42-episode sitcom "Hutong People" will meet with you this Saturday night, with two episodes per day."

Stirring the concept, audiences don't know what sitcoms are. After seeing the first domestic one, they naturally became interested.

As for why there are two episodes? Because the single episode is short, it is not enough to watch.

In the words of later generations, it is "short and weak", "sit up in shock in a dying illness", "you can finish reading after drinking saliva", blah blah blah.

The book is full of happy air inside and outside.

………………

Saturday evening.

In the "Beijing Youth Daily" newspaper office, reporter Yu Jiajia wrote quickly, her handwriting speed followed her thoughts, and she quickly wrote a manuscript.

These days the media industry is very rough, the number of journalists is small, and the dissemination of information is slow, so there is also little news, and basically whoever catches it counts.

Yu Jiajia didn't rush for good things today, so he simply pieced together, combined with the news that "Ping An became the first joint-stock insurance company in China" a few days ago, he wrote an article on the development of the insurance industry since the reform and opening up.

"Director, take a look."

She showed it to the department leader for a review, and the leader checked it carefully, and signed it when he saw that there were no mistakes, which meant that it could be sent to the editorial department for typesetting.

After finishing her busy work, Yu Jiajia came back to tidy up and prepare to leave work.

Before leaving, the deputy editor-in-chief broke in suddenly and greeted: "I have a temporary task assigned. I will watch "Hutong Family" tonight, and then think about what I can write."

"Didn't we send them a promotional draft a few days ago? Why do we still have to read it?"

"That's right, it's not "Dream of Red Mansions", it's just a sitcom."

"You know what a sitcom is?"

"I don't know, but I don't think it will work. Beijing and Taiwan are so confused and bragging about it this time. If the audience doesn't buy it, are you embarrassed? Why don't you watch "The Last Emperor" and write some textual research? .”

"This is a mistake in your subjective consciousness. If you deny it before reading it, it is against your position as a reporter."

"I don't tell the outside world what position I stand on, anyway, I like "The Last Emperor"."

"Okay, okay!"

The deputy editor interrupted the debate and said: "Don't underestimate this film. A friend of mine from the TV bureau said that they had quarreled for ten days, and finally Zhang Yongjing made a decision on his own before it passed the trial.

Does Zhang Yongjing know? I will retire in two years. I am willing to take risks at this juncture, and there must be something in it. You all have a look when you go back, even if you don't have it, you can dig deeper into Zhang Yongjing's matter. "

"OK, then I'll take a look."

"It's not a mandatory task, is it?"

"Volunteer."

"Oh, it's off work, off work!"

Yu Jiajia hummed and picked up her bag, and rode her bicycle back home.

She was less than 30 years old, but she worked as a reporter for seven or eight years. She got married and divorced.

Now I live with my parents, who work as civil servants in the unit, and their culture is not bad.

After dinner in the evening, the family stayed in front of the 14-inch TV as usual—this is also the rhythm of life for most families.

When the "Weather Forecast" is over, the next program will be displayed on the screen.

Big red screen, white characters, still handwritten.

19:40, all parts of the motherland - grassland customs.

19:50, Window of the World series.

20:00, TV series "The Last Emperor".

Yu Jiajia curled up on the sofa with a book in her arms, glanced casually, and thought of the newspaper office, "Mom, change to Beijing and watch "Hutong Family."

"I'm waiting to see The Last Emperor."

"Oh, our unit has a task, we have to see it."

The old mother mumbled and changed the channel. At first she was still talking about TV dramas, then she turned to divorce, and finally started introducing her partner.

Maybe all mothers in the world have this skill, no matter what you do, you can steal it into your personal life, and then you will be "I am easy every day, huh? How are you..."

Father was used to it, and sat quietly beside him, watching whatever he wanted.

Around 19:50, the first episode of "Hutong Family" started.

The opening title is a song written by Su Yue, which is very lyrical, and introduces the cast and crew: (deputy) director You Xiaogang, deputy director Xu Fei, chief literary teacher Liang Zuo, etc.

At the end of the song, the picture freezes on a panoramic view of a large courtyard.

The title appears: Fashion Models.

The following is the screenwriter of this episode, Liang Zuo.

As the screen went dark, a deep and affectionate voice came out from the darkness: "Do you believe in love?"

(Happy Mid-Autumn Festival, I went home and reunited...)
