"When I learned that Qiu Guan was starring in the Phoenix drama "The Great Age", I always thought that he was the male lead, and that Chu Xiangshuai who kept the fragrance on the moon. But after watching more than 30 episodes of "The Great Age", I was left with only the shock of the role of Ding Cai and the admiration of Zheng Shaoqiu's acting skills.
There have been various kinds of traitors in Hong Kong dramas, some of whom are unforgivable and some are afraid of evil. This is the first time that a villain like Dante Chi has seen him. His evil, his traitor, and his cruelty can make you so angry that you want to beat him up, but he himself is still very upright and thinks from the bottom of his heart that everything he does is right.
Ding Cai is like a madman, firmly and stubbornly sticking to his own opinions and sticking to his false truths that are inverted by black and white. As soon as he speaks in the play, the audience sitting in front of the TV wants to laugh because it seems like they are listening to people talking in their sleep.
Such a special character who is both normal and abnormal, neither a good person nor a simple bad person, is written by Kang Jianfei and then becomes vivid through Zheng Shaoqiu's acting.
I used to watch the TV series starring Qiu Guan, and I thought he could only dress up and show off. Now Qiu Guan's performance finally convinced me completely. He perfectly interpreted the strange and strange character Ding Cai, and played it vividly and vividly, with three points..."

"Since the broadcast of "The Great Age", the audience initially believed that Luo Huiling, played by Lan Jieying, was the heroine, and when Ruan Mei played by Zhou Huimin appeared, everyone also felt that Ruan Mei might be the leading female lead. After Zhou Haimei's role increased, the audience finally couldn't figure out: Is he the real heroine?
Including Fang Ting, played by Li Lizhen, the important female characters who appeared in "The Great Era" all have their own unique personalities. They are not as stereotyped as other TV series.
If you really want to choose a heroine, then the author’s favorite is Luo Huiling.
The only thing that made me cry in the whole drama was the scene where Luo Huiling died. In the bubbles all over the sky, Lan Jieying staggered towards the ring that imprisoned her body and heart. The ring that cost only 20 yuan carried all her love and strength, and the background music sounded. She died silently in the arms of the son of the person she loved the most. She left, and finally left. The unstoppable Hongyan…”

"Fang Jinxin used his own wealth, life and freedom to fight the greedy Chen Wanxian for a desperate battle. Even if there is only a 20% chance, he dared to win his life.
Fate gave him a climax. He won. It was so dangerous and life-threatening.
Then another inexplicable huge wave shot him to death on the beach every once in a while.
What a powerful stock market, what if the former Chinese chairman? If you are beaten by your friends, you will be stupid. If you are not as smart as a 10-year-old child, you will be just a drop in the ocean in the great waves of the times. Those many encounters are life.
But he couldn't tie his shoelaces well and couldn't hold the chopsticks firmly. He still had a sacred sense of responsibility when he was on the way home. When he knelt on the ground for a job as a newspaper, he begged: Give me a chance, boss, give me a chance. My mind was broken... I was stupid, my girlfriend followed me, no name or share, and I had to raise four children. I was useless, but I wanted to support my family. Please give me a chance... The boss didn't say anything, and he took out his wages and said: I didn't do well today, so don't want the wages. I'll do well tomorrow, and I'll give it to you tomorrow.
What is affection and righteousness?
He was stupid, so stupid that he had a lot of difficulty in even dividing a newspaper, but he did not give up on himself, nor did he complain about God's injustice all day long. It wasn't that he could remember the past, or that he was very capable, but he even remembered to shoulder the responsibilities of his father and boyfriend. Is this God's favor? Or is it deeply rooted in the consciousness of this top man.
Huiling, he is indeed a man worth entrusting his life."

On the night of the finale of "The Great Age", Hong Kong seemed to have become a ghost town. Even the bustling sections of Hong Kong Island were crowded and cars were scarce. The attendance rate of major theaters that night was less than 20%, because most Hong Kong people went home or went to the store to watch TV.
The data immediately showed that the highest viewership rate at the finale of "The Great Era" was 93%. As for TV series on TVB at the same time, almost no one watched it.
The 93% rating may seem a bit exaggerated, but the highest rating of the original 83 version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" was 99%, and the highest rating of the 1977 TVB drama "Family Change" was 95%.
The version of "Big Times" that Phoenix TV is now broadcasting is released just a few months after the Hong Kong stock market crash. The production and promotional costs are much higher than the original version, both in terms of the quality of the series and the timing of the broadcast. Under the interaction of various factors, the Phoenix TV "Big Times" finally grew from more than 50 points at the first episode to 93% at the finale, creating another Hong Kong drama rating myth, which is much better than the ratings of the time and space where Kang Jianfei is.
If a TV series is so popular, all the news about it can become news. Even the supporting actors who play Ding Cai's son, their relationship has become a topic of competition among entertainment magazines.
Li Bihua, a well-known female writer who writes film and television reviews, also wrote a character story for "The Great Times" in her column at the invitation of Oriental Daily, which actually won unanimous praise from readers.
A week before "The Great Time" is about to be aired, Fengxing Records released the original soundtrack "Looking at the Storm and Clouds" of "The Great Time", which contains the opening credits of "The Great Time", with a total of eight endings and interludes, of which four were "created" by Kang Jianfei himself.
The original theme songs of "The Great Era" "Time is Relentless" and "My Life My Love" are still their original opening and ending positions, while another Cantonese divine song "Smiling at the Storm and Clouds" was brought into an interlude by Kang Jianfei, and the three songs were sung by Zheng Shaoqiu and Zhang Guorong respectively.
The Phoenix version of "The Great Era" not only has changes in music, but also in the plot, increasing from the original 40 episodes to 42 episodes. The main reason is that the ending of the original "The Great Era" is too sloppy, which has become a flaw that has been criticized. With the efforts of Kang Jianfei and many screenwriters, the ending of this version of "The Great Era" is even more tortuous and exciting. Fang Zhanbo, played by Liu Qingyun, defeated Ding Cai through his wisdom and talent, rather than pinning his hopes on luck and financial tycoons like the original.
...
At Hong Kong Zanyu Hospital, dozens of reporters were stopped outside the door by nurses and looked inside from time to time. Suddenly, two cars drove in. After the reporters recognized the car in front of him, they immediately surrounded him frantically.
Liu Songren had to get out of the car and explain to the reporter, and Liu Qingyun and Yin Tianzhao were also following him.
In the drama "The Great Age", Liu Songren and Liu Qingyun play the role of the father and son of the Fang family, while Yin Tianzhao plays Zheng Shaoqiu's eldest son. The four of them have been filming a drama for several months and get along well with each other. Zheng Shaoqiu's wife Feifei has just given birth to a baby boy, so they naturally have to come to the hospital to congratulate their friends on their grandchildren, and they will get together for dinner to celebrate in the evening.
Kang Jianfei was still in the mainland at this time. If he knew that Shen Dianxia had a son, he would definitely be shocked. This even the gender of his descendants has changed.
"Yunzai, what has your development between you and Lan Jieying? Have you ever seen your parents?"
"Amaterasu, I heard that you just took on a new drama. Can you reveal some news?"
"Brother Ren, there are rumors that you are going to enter the big screen. Which company's film is it?"
“…”
The reporters were thrown out one by one by one. Although Liu Songren and Yin Tianzhao were supporting roles in the play, the characters they played were both very charming characters and were also loved by many viewers. Therefore, the reporter's interview target is not focused on Liu Qingyun alone.
Whether it is Liu Songren or Yin Tianzhao, they are all seniors to Liu Qingyun, although the latter is about the same time as him.
Liu Qingyun, who had just become popular, was very modest and gave all the opportunity to answer questions and show off to Liu Songren and Yin Tianzhao, and he just stood there and smiled at the camera.
After a few minutes of entanglement with the reporter, the three of them finally squeezed into the hospital.
"Congratulations!"
After meeting Zheng Shaoqiu and his wife, the three of them clasped their fists and congratulated each other.
The child has been born three days ago. They have visited him once before. This time they came to pick up Zheng Shaoqiu and his family of three to be discharged from the hospital.
Shen Dianxia sat up and chatted with them, while Zheng Shaoqiu ran to go through the procedures to prepare for discharge. She would have the meal tonight at Zheng Shaoqiu's house.
"Seawei, Aying and the others are all coming?" Zheng Shaoqiu asked after returning from the procedures. He is now in a proud mood, not only erasing the negative impact of the extramarital affair, but also adding a fat boy.
"Sea flavor, Azhen, Amin are all coming," Liu Qingyun said, pausing, "Aying has some problems."
"What's the situation with her?" Zheng Shaoqiu asked with a smile. Because Lan Jieying often had trouble when filming "The Great Times", Zheng Shaoqiu was not worried.
Liu Songren sighed: "She is too deeply involved in the show and can't get out in a short period of time."
The smile on Zheng Shaoqiu's face also dissipated and he said, "This is a problem. Has she seen a psychologist?"
Yin Tianzhao shook her head and said, "We all advised her. She said she was not sick and insisted on going. Now a few of our good friends go to enlighten her every day, but I don't know if it will work."
