On February 13, 2006, "Qiao Family Compound" premiered on CCTV and exploded immediately.
According to Sofrey's statistics, the average rating of "Qiao Family Compound" in Beijing is 9.95%, which is the first in the country at the same time, and finally won the top of the national drama ratings in 2006.
In terms of awards, the drama won the first prize of the 26th China Tv Drama Feitian Award for Outstanding Feature-length TV Series, and the 10th Five One Project Award for Outstanding TV Series.
Even now, this drama is also a big drama without a doubt, and the Douban score is still as high as 8.4, which is an excellent model for the legendary drama of the times.
In this drama, there are also many legends.
First, the script legend.
"Qiao Family Compound" is a business war drama directed by Hu Mei, with the Qiao Family Courtyard as the background, telling the story of a generation of legendary Jin merchant Qiao Zhiyong abandoning literature and business, and finally realizing the world after experiencing all kinds of difficulties and dangers.
This drama is a real-life and true story adaptation, the protagonist of the play Qiao Zhiyong is the representative merchant of Shanxi Jin merchants at the end of the Qing Dynasty.
Under his management, the Qiao family at that time had more than 200 ticket numbers, money houses, pawnshops, and grain stores throughout China, and its assets reached tens of millions of taels of silver.
Qiao Yanhe, the seventh generation of the Qiao family, wanted to make the ancestral story into a TV series, so he began to look for investors and directors, and the first person he looked for was Hu Mei.
Second, the main creation of legends.
Now we know that this drama is indeed directed by director Hu Mei, but at first director Hu Mei did not agree.
So, producer Meng Fanyao found Kang Honglei, the director of "The Years of Burning Passion", and Gui Yuqing, one of the screenwriters of "Daming Palace Words".
Originally, everything was proceeding step by step, but in September 2004, screenwriter Gui Yuqing died suddenly, and director Kang Honglei's spirit was also affected and decided to leave "Qiao Family Compound".
At this time, the producer Meng Fanyao found Hu Mei again, and Hu Mei decided to take it after reading the script and understanding the story of the Qiao family compound.
Third, the actor legend.
This drama has gathered a lot of powerful celebrities, but there are also twists and turns to determine this final version.
At first, Hu Mei found Ma Yili to play the female Erjiang Xueying in the play, but after reading the script, Ma Yili refused, because she felt that the role setting was too weak.
Later, the role was modified, and Ma Yili continued to play.
There is also because of the actor Chen Jianbin's non-common sense card, resulting in the original "Sun Maocai" actor was angry, the director found Ni Dahong to save the scene.
And because Chen Jianbin often changed the play on the spot, it was difficult for the heroine Jiang Qinqin to adapt, the two quarreled every day, and Jiang Qinqin almost quit the role.
In short, after many twists and turns, this drama was finally filmed and successfully broadcast.
Today, 16 years have passed since the launch of "The Gate of the Mansion", and the legends of the original have slowly become classics.
Looking at the 10 actors in the play, it can be said that almost all of them have been promoted to a certain extent, of which the male No. 22 has grown from an "unknown person" to a first-line celebrity.
No. 1: Chen Jianbin - Qiao Zhiyong
The absolute protagonist of "Qiao Family Compound" is undoubtedly Qiao Zhiyong, but to find who to play, the director Hu Mei made a mistake at the beginning.
In the play, Qiao Zhiyong's age spans from 19 years old to 89 years old, a full 70 years.
The actor should be able to play an ignorant and wild teenager, and can also play an old man who is rare and not deliberate, which is not easy.
At this time, although Chen Jianbin was 36 years old, he was not yet famous, and director Hu Mei did not dare to use it at first. But after watching his "Ten Years married", Hu Mei decided that he could act well.
As it turns out, it was right.
Chen Jianbin's Qiao Zhiyong is a person with a bold personality, Chen Jianbin played his "madness" just right, showing Qiao Zhiyong's maturity from youth to middle age very well, vividly showing Qiao Zhiyong's ups and downs in life.
The drama "Qiao Family Compound" is a very important turning point for Chen Jianbin.
Because of his wonderful performance in the play, this drama once again won him the Golden Eagle Award for the audience's favorite TV drama actor award.
In the following years, Chen Jianbin played an important role in many popular Chinese dramas, playing Cao Cao in 2010's "New Three Kingdoms", and Chen Jianbin also gave an understanding that was different from the classic Version of Bao Guoan.
In the "Biography of Zhen Huan" directed by Zheng Xiaolong, Chen Jianbin, as one of the few male characters with heavy weight in the play, has caught fire again.
The image of Yongzheng he played was extremely impressive, and it can even be said that after him, Yongzheng had a new and more widely known template.
With outstanding achievements in the field of television dramas, Chen Jianbin began to turn to film.
In 2014, Chen Jianbin won two awards at the Golden Horse Awards for Best Actor and Best New Director for his self-directed and self-acting "A Spoon".
At the same time, at this award ceremony, he won the best supporting actor with the role of Zhang Yongshan in the movie "Paradise in the Army", and won 3 small golden people by one person.
Five years later, Chen Jianbin's second directorial work "The Eleventh Time" was born, and the film still received full of awards, but the box office was not satisfactory.
However, compared with acting in movies and being a director, Chen Jianbin's main field is still in TV dramas, and in recent years, he has also tried a lot in TV series.
The themes are rich and the roles are changeable, including the story of the middle-aged diamond king and the little young people falling in love, as well as the story of the laid-off and re-employed old police officers punishing evil and promoting good.
Next, he has a number of works to be broadcast, and I look forward to him continuing to surprise us.
By the way, "Qiao Family Compound" is still his and his wife Jiang Qinqin's love work, and the love story of the two is also interesting and romantic, which we will say below.
2nd place: Jiang Qinqin - Lu Yuhan
Unlike male lead actor Chen Jianbin, when Jiang Qinqin starred in "Qiao Family Compound", he had already become popular because of "Qiong Girl".
Before that, she had many masterpieces. "Xi Shi", "There are tears in the sky", "White-haired Witch", "Qinghe Love", "Wind and Cloud" and so on.
Although everyone talks about her, the first thing that comes to mind is her beauty, in fact, she has nothing to say about her acting skills in addition to her anti-natural beauty.
She came from a science class, from primary school Peking Opera, and later joined the Peking Opera Troupe, when she applied for the Beijing Film Academy, she was admitted as the first in the national artistic achievements.
Before "Qiao Family Compound", she had already proved her acting skills in the TV series "Half Life" adapted from Zhang Ailing's novel.
In this drama, she subverted the image and played a beautiful but tragic woman Gu Manlu. Under her interpretation, Gu Manlu's madness, pathosity, and pity are all well displayed.
In "Qiao Family Compound", Lu Yuhan, who she played, was not loved by Qiao Zhiyong at first, once she found window flowers in the study, and was told that it was Qiao Zhiyong's first love cut, Qiao Zhiyong liked it very much, and specially pasted it on the window.
The expression on her face changed from the happiness of finding the window flower beautiful to the indifference that she knew that it was from the hand of the enemy, and the change was very smooth and natural.
Later, she found the jade bracelet in the drawer, but Qiao Zhiyong lied to her that she had not found it, and her sentence "What is mine is mine, and what is not mine cannot be worn." "The momentum came out at once, and the acting skills were really good.
This drama is also a scene where she and Chen Jianbin are related, in fact, at the beginning, the two can be described as enemies on the set.
Chen Jianbin is a "drama idiot", when the mood comes, he likes to play on the spot, loves to change words, so that Jiang Qinqin is often overwhelmed, and once reached the point of quitting.
The two often quarreled on the scene because of filming problems, and Jiang Qinqin sometimes invited the crew to eat, and would skip Chen Jianbin.
This made director Hu Mei feel a headache for this, and she even said:
I made "Han Wu The Great" to command thousands of troops and horses, and I am no more worried than persuading you two!
However, fate is something that no one can say for sure. It is in such a "water and fire" shooting environment that the two also rubbed a spark of love.
A year after the show was filmed, the two got married.
After marriage, although Jiang Qinqin put the focus on the family, he did not stop filming, but reduced the drama accordingly.
In the past two years, she has also begun to slowly prepare for a comeback, starring in the suspense drama "Mist Tracking" and the controversial "Housewife", and her acting skills are still remarkable.
3rd place: Lei Kesheng - Lu Dake
Lu Dake, who played the "world's first cut" in "Qiao Family Compound", is the old drama bone Lei Kesheng, and when he starred in "Qiao Family Compound", Lei Gesheng was already 70 years old.
In the play, he is a good father who knows how to love his daughter and is responsible, and he is also a businessman who knows how to operate, is low-key and introverted, and will be diligent and thrifty.
Lei Kesheng is a drama actor, in 1966 he participated in the drama "Jian Zhen Dongdu", and also won the first comedy "Plum Blossom Award" Best Actor.
After that, he began to participate in film and television dramas, and he also often played classic roles. Wang Xiguang in "The Gate of the Great Mansion", Liu Hao in "The Great Song Ti Criminal Officer" and so on.
After "Joe's Compound", he also made cameo roles in various film and television dramas.
At the 2011 National Opera Festival, the Lifetime Achievement Award was awarded to him, who had acted for more than 50 years, but he said:
"This award you took, is it a full stop?" Is it a comma? I think it should be an exclamation point, this award is for life, but it is not the end. I took it as a starting point, and in the future, I will play more roles. ”
Now at the age of 86, he is still acting, the drama "Lao She Five Rules", which has starred in hundreds of performances in 8 years and has yet to be broadcast.
The old man in life is always very simple, "buckled" to himself, but low-key set up a "bursary fund", funded hundreds of students with excellent character and learning to go to school.
I have to say that the old man really loves drama.
4th place: Ni Dahong - Sun Maocai
Although Ni Dahong is Sun Maocai who only came to save the scene, the play really has nothing to say.
He also won the Best Supporting Actor Award at the Storm Festival with his outstanding performance in "Qiao Family Compound", which makes us thoroughly remember the sometimes loyal and sometimes treacherous servant Sun Maocai.
At that time, there was a saying in the show business circle:
"There's a villain named Ni Dahong, who is not generally bad."
And even in the same year, Ni Dahong also presented us with a palace-level performance in "Daming Dynasty 1566", 47-year-old Yan Song, who is more than 80 years old, without any sense of violation.
Ni Dahong was born into an artistic family, and his father was one of the first drama actors in the mainland.
Under the influence of his father, he had the idea of becoming an actor very early, but his appearance was not outstanding, and many people were pouring cold water on him when he wanted to take the exam.
The reality is indeed cruel, Ni Dahong took the exam for 3 years, and fell off the list. Chinese drama, military art, and drama were not played, but he did not give up, and finally was admitted in the fourth year.
Soon, he caught fire with the role of Duan Yuguo in "Garland on the Mountain". In Zhang Yimou's "Alive", there are also colorful performances.
After this movie, Zhang Yimou gave Ni Dahong high praise:
There is Ni Dahong on the set, all assured. The smallest characters can figure out the flavor. ”
"After filming, I still have to find Ni Dahong."
Over the years, his image of "golden supporting role" has become more and more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, until "Su Daqiang", finally let him completely become popular, and even showed a state of "the older the more popular".
"Acting like what" "Even eye bags are drama" This is the most praised praise heard of him in recent years, and Ni Dahong also deserves this praise.
In Wu Jing's "Wolf Warrior", he made a cameo appearance as a villain, and there was an explosion scene in which his thigh was scratched by explosives due to a staff error.
However, in the process of acting, he did not stop, but forced himself to endure, waiting until the scene was finished and making sure that the scene was no problem, and then went to deal with the wound.
Compared with the prosperity of his career, his love life is a long stream.
His wife is the cousin of ni ping, the host we are familiar with, and the relationship between the two has been very good for so many years, which is really envious of others.
5th place: Ma Yili - Jiang Xueying
The role of Jiang Xueying can be said to be the most impressive role in "Qiao Family Compound".
She was originally Qiao Zhiyong's green plum bamboo horse, and before there was no accident in the Qiao family, all she wanted was to be the person with red sleeves beside Qiao Zhiyong.
Unfortunately, the opposite happened, the Qiao family had an accident, and Qiao Zhiyong was forced to marry Lu Yuhan.
Under the gamble, Jiang Xueying also married someone, but her husband was not in good health and died soon after, she became a widow, and she also had to carry the burden of the family.
Ma Yili's interpretation is almost infallible, and the treatment of characters and emotions is very delicate.
In fact, before this drama, she also had representative roles, such as Ziwei in "Huan Zhu Ge Ge III". After this drama, Charlene in her "Struggle" is also a classic role in the history of Chinese opera.
Compared with her career, Ma Yili's personal life is also vigorous.
In 2007, she and the article fell in love because of the drama, and the difference of 8 years did not hinder the two, and soon married and gave birth to a daughter.
When the two first got married, the article said:
"The proudest thing in this life is to marry a woman named Ma Yili."
After marriage, Ma Yili reduced her workload, and there were works that rarely starred, and it was also during this time that the career of the article entered a period of rise.
After "The Naked Marriage Era", the article and the actor Yao Di of the same crew spread a scandal, and at this time, Ma Yili had just given birth to her second child.
After this incident, Ma Yili's reply was "do it and cherish it."
The article incident did not have much impact on Ma Yili, her drama was continuous, and sometimes 4 film and television works were broadcast a year.
And the partners are all first-line students, such as the "Cheongsam Beauty Detective" starring Gao Weiguang, the good figure is fully revealed, and the broadcast of this drama, Ma Yili is on fire again.
Next, there is "Blossoms" starring with Hu Ge and Tang Yan, and "Dragon City" starring with Bai Yu.
On the contrary, the article's career plummeted, the two dragged on for several years before they officially divorced after the cheating incident, and the article also shifted from the front of the stage to the backstage.
In personal life, Ma Yili is also very moist.
Not only are there two luxury houses in Beijing, worth more than 100 million, but there is also a set of riverview villas in Shanghai, and they also hold the equity of four companies, which are worth billions.
6th place: Zhao Lijuan - Cao Yuezhi
Before Cao Yuezhi in "Qiao Family Compound", juanzi (Zhao Lijuan) should be the "Ling concubine" in "Huan Zhu Gege".
Juanzi, Wang Zhifei, Fu Biao, and Lin Jinglai are classmates of the Central Academy of Drama, and in 1998, they had already won the Audience's Favorite Actor Award at the Golden Eagle Awards of China Television with "Beijing Woman".
Since then, her scenes have not been broken, and she has her own filming rhythm.
In 2003, Juanzi retired from her career and chose to marry and have children, and her husband is said to be a producer and a university professor.
"Joe's Family Compound" is her first drama after giving birth to a child, and for the role, Juanzi loses weight while filming.
When she entered the crew, Juanzi's child was only 4 months old, and in order to alleviate the pain of lovesickness, she often imagined herself holding the child and humming songs for her between filming.
In fact, for Juanzi, this drama is not a big bonus for her, after this, she still maintains a low-key actor style, and the frequency of shooting a play every year or two.
For example, the mother of Xiao Bao Zong in "Ode to Joy 2", the patient Zhao Jing in "Surgical Storm", and Li Muzi's mother in "For You, I Am Willing to Love the Whole World" are all played by Juanzi.
These characters have very different personalities, but she can grasp the charm of the characters well.
In addition to the relaxed work, Juanzi also enjoys her personal life, and occasionally posts her recent photos on the platform, looking leisurely and comfortable.
7th place: Wang Yichun - Hu Yuanpu
Before "Qiao Family Compound", Wang Yichun had actually been famous for a long time.
He began acting very early, and his early experience in drama brought him a solid foundation in acting. At the age of 28, he became a household actor with a "Confucius".
In this play, he performed the life of Confucius, from the age of 15 to 73 years old, he completed it alone, and the degree of completion was very good.
This drama also won the "Five One Project" award for the construction of national spiritual civilization, creating a record of five "Feitian Awards" for a single drama.
Later, he played the eight masters in "Yongzheng Dynasty", and played the eight kings who were gentle and courteous, but in fact strategic and clever.
Wang Yichun's role is not qualitative, and it is also good and evil, which can not only play the villain of the old scheming and calculating into three points, but also perfectly interpret the positive characters with courage and strategy.
He has many representative roles, including "Eight Masters" in "Yongzheng Dynasty", "Pang Taishi" in "Young Bao Qingtian", and was once a "professional household of Wang Ye".
Today, the 60-year-old Wang Yichun is still active in the show business circle, some netizens have met her in Hengdian, and he can often be seen playing supporting roles in various big dramas.
Perhaps it is the love of the profession of an actor that has made him persist for so many years, and there is no doubt that the old drama bone is broken.
8th place: Bo Hong - Qiao Ruyu
Qiao Ruyu in "Qiao Family Compound" is the "viper queen" in the 82nd edition of "Journey to the West".
Bo Hong is a singer and dance troupe actor, she is tall, good image, very classical charm. Although it is in the "Journey to the West", a drama full of beautiful women, her light has not been hidden.
In fact, in order to play this role well, Bo Hong also made a hard effort. I deliberately spent 1,000 yuan to buy a pet python, observed its habits and characteristics every day, and prepared for the performance.
Kung Fu pays off, after this role, Hirohiro began to appear frequently in film and television dramas, and has participated in hundreds of works.
We are familiar with Concubine Dong in "Kangxi Dynasty", Empress Xiaozhuang in "Gege Wants to Marry", and The Step-Empress Uranara in "Ji Xiaolan".
After "Qiao Family Compound", Bo Hong is still focused on the career of an actor, and in 2015, she was recognized by the Hong Kong media as the most promising mainland acting actress.
In addition to her acting career, she also spends a lot of time on public welfare, not only as a love ambassador of the China Children's Charity Relief Foundation, but also as a "public welfare environmental protection love ambassador" of Wenzhou Dubai Industry.
Today, she is more than half a hundred years old, but she is well maintained, occasionally participates in film and television dramas, and most of the time is a return to personal life.
9th place: Gao Changhao - Liang Treasurer
In addition to the impressive starring role, the supporting roles in "Joe's Courtyard" are also very brilliant. For example, Gao Changhao, who plays the Liang treasurer in the play.
Gao Changhao is a "non-professional actor", and "Qiao Family Compound" is his first character with a name and a surname.
Before working as an actor, he was a security coordinator. When he was 21 years old, because there was a crew shooting near him, he and the assistant director became buddies and had several scenes, and this experience made him think that filming was very interesting.
However, he did not soon develop into an actor, but returned to his old profession. By chance, he got the role of Liang Treasurer in "Qiao Family Compound".
After this drama, he officially became an actor, starting from a small role, and also cooperated with the director Gao Xixi.
Finally, in 2009's "Killing the Tiger's Mouth", he was well known to the public with the role of Meng Er Dog. Because he was not from a science class, it was more difficult for him to act, but he also worked harder.
Others memorized the lines 3 times, he memorized 10 times, and also wrapped up the crew's food, clothing, housing and transportation, and many of the crew members who had played with him had become good friends with him.
In the 2011 broadcast of "Indelible Fan Number", ding Dasu, the deputy head of the regiment who played the logistics department, received praise, not only without a trace of deliberateness, but also very delicate and brilliant.
Just when his career began to improve, he encountered an accident.
In 2012, while filming a war scene somewhere in Gansu, the donkey he was riding was frightened by the sound of gunfire and fell directly into the ravine, and the donkey cart and the people also fell into it.
Gao Changhao was immediately taken to the hospital, with a ruptured spleen and brain injury, and the injury was not optimistic.
Although he had improved after the spleen surgery, his condition suddenly deteriorated before he was discharged from the hospital and left.
It was a pity that it was difficult to get out of the way, and it was a pity that I was just about to become popular.
10th place: Zhang Yi - Changshun
Looking at it now, "Qiao Family Compound" can really be described as "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", and the hottest "top stream" in the current film circle has also starred in this drama.
Yes, he is Zhang Yi, who plays a small follower shun beside Qiao Zhiyong in the play.
When he starred in "Qiao Family Compound", Zhang Yi was 27 years old and ran a dragon set in the crew for 5 years, because of the general appearance conditions, he has not had any chances.
Between filming, director Hu Mei said to him: "You remember, the actor will not come out again at the age of 28, you will wash and sleep." ”
This sentence "scared" Zhang Yi, and after the play, he decided to be braver.
After that, he learned that director Kang Honglei wanted to make "Soldier Assault", so he wrote him a long letter - "My Invitation to Battle", and got a role that changed his acting career, Shi Jin.
The hit of "Soldier Assault", Zhang Yi's acting skills conquered the audience, and he officially embarked on the road of actor.
After this play, his play path was also broadened.
From "My Regiment Leader My Regiment" to "The Old Man of Mountains and Rivers" and "I Am Not Pan Jinlian", what kind of role can be vivid under his interpretation.
In 2018, the "Red Sea Action" starring him became the first in the Spring Festival file with a box office of 3.65 billion, and the "Climber" in 2019 also brushed the sense of existence in the National Day file, and in 2020, it was the big screen, "Eight Hundred", "King Kong Chuan", "My Hometown and Me", "One Second" were all starred by him.
Next up are "On the Cliff" and "Sniper", and there are several blockbuster movies to be released.
In terms of TV dramas, he also has many representative works, such as "Chicken Feathers Fly to the Sky", "Spicy Mama Biography" and so on.
It can be said that from the current situation, the "dragon set man" of that year has now become the most popular person among the actors in the whole play.
Zhang Yi's success is inseparable from his efforts, from losing 20 pounds for the role to acting and fainting, Zhang Yi, who worked silently on the actor's road, finally became the "treasure male actor" in everyone's mouth.
Nowadays, he is the first choice of the male protagonist of many large projects, soaring to the first-line celebrity.
It is no exaggeration to say that "Qiao Family Compound" is of great significance to Zhang Yi!
Looking back at "Qiao Family Compound", this is a drama that all the main creators have worked hard to work on, and the reason why the classic has become a classic is after all for a reason.
