At the beginning of 1999, the entertainment industry was in a turmoil. The old people had not yet aged out, and the new people were eager to take over.
In January, CCTV aired the new year drama "Yongzheng Dynasty", which received great ratings and quickly aroused widespread discussion.
This drama has been called a textbook for official circles. Major experts wrote articles in newspapers one after another to explain this drama and TV series. Many units even specially organized cadres to watch it.
Tang Guoqiang once again consolidated his status as a top actor, and then started the emperor professional account model, collecting stamps from emperors of all dynasties in China for five thousand years.
On March 4th, "Kangxi Private Interview 2" will be broadcast.
Although the role of San Dezi was changed from Zhao Liang to Wu Jun, it did not affect the performance of this drama at all.
On the contrary, due to the participation of the super popular Xiaohua Zhao Wei and the accumulation of the previous work, the ratings of "Kangxi Private Interview 2" were even better than the first one.
The rights to rebroadcast the third and fourth rounds were sold before the first broadcast was finished on several TV stations. As for the second round, it was decided before the TV series even aired.
Zhang Guoli and several investors behind "Kangxi Private Interview 2" made a lot of money.
Zhang Guoli, who is increasingly enjoying the benefits of Qing Dynasty dramas, in addition to immediately preparing "Kangxi Private Interview 3", he also plans to collaborate with his old friend Zou Jingzhi on a new series, which will be the future hit "Iron".
"Bronze Teeth Ji Xiaolan".
If the braid play is divided into several stages.
The most popular braid drama should be "A Play on Qianlong" played by Zheng Shaoqiu in Hong Kong
The first large-scale TV series in mainland China was "Prime Minister Liu Luoguo" starring Li Baotian and Zhang Guoli.
It was precisely because of this drama that Zhang Guoli came up with the idea of making a film and television show, and co-financed the filming of "Kangxi Private Interview in Private Clothes", which completely launched the trend of pigtail dramas.
Then, works such as "My Fair Princess", "Secret History of Xiaozhuang", "Iron Teeth and Bronze Teeth Ji Xiaolan", "Li Wei Becomes an Official", "Kangxi Dynasty", as well as the dramas "Yongzheng Dynasty" and "The Granary of the World" exploded and brainwashed everyone.
The three emperors of Kang, Yong and Qian lived in the Qing Dynasty.
The Qing Dynasty once became the most familiar dynasty to the public.
Later, with the diversification of TV themes, the momentum of pigtail dramas declined slightly, but soon popular Qing Dynasty dramas such as "Palace" and "Bu Bu Jing Xin" appeared to take over, and the popularity of pigtail dramas increased again.
After a long time, the time-travel drama was not allowed to be filmed, and the time-travel drama was scrapped. The screenwriters and producers, headed by Yu Zheng, started to fight Mary Sue.
Kang, Yong and Qian, together with Huang Tai Chi and Dorgon, collectively became cerebral palsy and fell in love every day when they had nothing to do.
Although the reputation of these dramas was very bad and they could not sustain the good ratings, Dead Girl became a hot TV producer, and together with Guo Xiaosi in the film field, they were known as Wolong Fengchu.
Later, they both cooled down at the same time...
Later, as the audience's tastes improved, some viewers became tired of watching these bad dramas.
Finally there was hope that braided dramas would be cool again. As a result, "The Legend of Zhen Huan", "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace", "Story of Yanxi Palace" and other masterpieces were released one after another, which brought another wave of blood to braided dramas.
Until netizens woke up and realized the true face of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, a large number of viewers began to boycott the braid drama.
In addition, capital advocates big IP production, and a certain bureau suppresses historical nihilism, and historical film and television dramas are not allowed to be randomly edited.
Thanks to the joint efforts of many parties, braid drama has finally gradually withdrawn from the mainstream.
Of course, the audience is still limited, and no one knows if a high-quality product will come out one day, and they may be deceived again, but people's hearts have been lost, and it will never be possible again.
But in 1999, it was the time when braid drama became very popular.
Last year's "Huan Zhuge Ge", the CCTV drama "Yongzheng Dynasty" at the beginning of the year, and now the "Kangxi Private Interview 2" just aired, have completely heated up the braid drama market, and it will not be able to suppress it in a short time.
There are already four or five braid dramas recommended by Cao Xuan himself.
This does not include the two popular classics "Yongzheng Dynasty" and "My Fair Princess 2" that were previously rejected.
It is no exaggeration to say that during the period from 1998 to 2010, regardless of artists from Hong Kong and Taiwan, more than 70% of mainland actors had acted in braid dramas.
There is no way, the market decides everything, and actors also have to eat...
In addition to "Kangxi Private Interview 2", there was also a popular drama in March, "Never Close Eyes" starring Lu Yi and Yuan Li.
Lu Yi became famous in one battle and quickly became a popular niche actor. Later, he even won the Golden Eagle Award for this drama.
Of course, he is a three-yellow egg as a visionary. In the same class, there are Wang Zhiwen in "The True Colors of a Detective" and Li Baotian in "Village Director Li Siping".
At that time, Lu Yi had not yet graduated from college, but he won an award with two big guys, so much so that he was once rated as the Golden Eagle's most popular star.
As a result, I never thought that except for a few Golden Eagle Awards, each one would be better than the last, and in the end it would become a sea...
Yuan Li also became famous with this drama, and later took the role of Xiaoyue in "Iron Teeth and Bronze Teeth Ji Xiaolan". At her peak, she was no less famous than the four famous actresses at that time.
However, her personality is relatively... special and not suitable for the entertainment industry, which is also the biggest reason that hinders her career development.
In addition to making Lu Yi and Yuan Li famous, the drama "Never Rest" also contributed to the rise of Hairun Film and Television, which will play an important role in the field of TV dramas in the future.
The series of works produced by his company such as "What Can I Do to Save You My Lover", "Jade Guanyin", "Bright Sword", "Six Cases" and "Blood Romance" have achieved double success in terms of word-of-mouth ratings and made Sun Li, Lu Yi and Tong Dawei famous.
Waiting for many stars.

TV series about gods fighting, movies and music circles are relatively inferior.

The most important thing is that the success of "Rush Hour" has made Cheng Long's reputation as an international superstar more and more famous.
In contrast, Fa Ge, who is also a bi-weekly actor, is still playing supporting roles in Hollywood, and his momentum is a bit lonely.
But not long after, he will be greeted by Ang Lee who comes to him with the script of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".
In the music world, Ren Xianqi and Cao Xuan are still strong, especially after the Spring Festival Gala, "Girl Opposite Look Over" and "Gong Xi Fa Cai" both entered the top five.
"Go Home Often" is also gaining momentum, and "Gong Xi Fa Cai" is currently the most popular Spring Festival Gala song.
"The Trouble Caused by the Moon" released by Zhang Yu at the end of last year has also remained popular and firmly dominated the charts.
In addition, the cover of "How Much Love Can Come Again" by Dick Cowboy's new album has also received considerable attention, and many people even thought that they were the original singer.
The slightly famous Pu Shu finally released his first new album in January, and many songs such as "Those Flowers" and "White Birch Forest" were well received.
Especially the song "Those Flowers" attracted countless fans to Pu Shu. Later, Xiao Daqian also made a movie "When the Flowers Bloom" specifically for this song.
Starring Pu Shu, Zhou Gongzi, and Xia Yu. Zhou Gongzi fell in love with Pu Shu because of this movie, but they broke up a year later.
Da Zhangwei of Huaer Band also made his official debut at the beginning of the year. With the gimmick of being the first underage band in the Mainland, the band quickly became popular.
The title songs "Flowers" and "Stillness" from the first album "Next to Happiness" have also been popular among fans.
Since Huaer Band, singers born in the 1980s have entered the music scene one after another, injecting new vitality into the music scene.
Before the turn of the millennium, everyone is accumulating strength, showing themselves, and welcoming the new century, and Cao Xuan is no exception.
He must rush to the turn of the century to become the last Chinese-speaking King of the 20th century and the first Chinese-speaking King of the 21st century...
