"Parents' Love" is deeply loved by the audience because of the down-to-earth plot. It uses the lives of An Jie and Jiang Defu as the starting point to tell the story of three generations of three families.
When Liu Jing wrote this story, she simply wanted to record the story of her parents, or it would be more accurate to record the life of her mother Anjie.
After Kong Sheng got the script, he decided to adapt the story into a group drama. This is why we have watched it so many times and it is difficult to tell who is the female protagonist and who is the male protagonist.
An Jie, Dehua, Jiang Defu, Lao Ding, Jiang Yafei...
Every character has a unique story, and every actor performs it extremely accurately.
There are more than forty episodes in the drama, with hundreds of actors, big and small. There are professional film and television acting teachers, such as Liu Tianchi , who plays Wang Xiu'e. There are also acting actors, such as Mei Ting , Guo Tao , etc. Some of the actors are actually villagers on the island.
There are actually many temporary actors in "Parental Love", such as director Kong Sheng, visiting producer Yue Yang, and crew makeup artist Liu Xinyan.
In addition, there is a hidden family of three in the play. The mother came to visit her son, but the director's father saw it and came directly to play a guest role.
"Parental Love": It was only after 8 years that I discovered that these three people were real family members. The family of three acted in 5 dramas.
A family of three hidden in the drama
In "Parental Love", I personally think there is no villain. If I must say it, Jiang Changyi may be the least likable character, because he is a typical "refined egoist".
Jiang Changyi is not bad, but he has a lot of eyes and knows how to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. Perfectly taking advantage of Jiang Defu's face-saving characteristics, as the "eldest son", he successfully obtained Jiang Defu's help and changed his life.
In addition to Jiang Defu, there is also a more selfish character in "Parental Love". He is the man Ge Meixia married in her later years: Political Commissar Wang.
Lao Ding and Ge Meixia did not get married, all because of his "beating mandarin ducks". On the surface, it was for Lao Ding's good, but in fact, he had already reserved a second wife for himself. After Zhang Guiying left, he was eager to marry Ge Meixia.
It’s such a coincidence that the actors who play Jiang Changyi and the actor who plays Political Commissar Wang are actually real father and son in real life.
Wang Yongquan As the deputy director of this play, his role in this role was purely accidental. The actor who was scheduled at the time failed to join the cast on time due to schedule, so Wang Yongquan, who was an actor, took the role directly.
His son Wang Hong is a professional actor himself and is also the actor appointed by Kong Sheng to play Jiang Changyi.
However, Wang Yongquan’s wife’s role is purely a “duck rush” because the role she plays does not require an actor.
The scene at that time was when Jiang Weiguo was injured. Dehua and Anjie took him to the health center for bandage. The original shot was just a ghost, but after filming it several times, Kong Sheng felt that this scene was not vivid enough and that there must be someone. Just sit there and say a few words to him.
Then he saw Sun Xiaohui who was visiting the crew. She was Wang Yongquan’s wife and an actress herself. So she made a temporary guest appearance in this small, unnamed role, with only a few lines and no frontal shots.
A family of three acted in 5 dramas
Although there are many old acquaintances in "Parental Love", this is the only one where a whole family of three acted in it. However, this is not the first time that the three of them have acted in a drama together. In addition to "Parents' Love", they have also appeared in many film and television dramas, all of which are hit dramas.
In " Nirvana in Fire", Wang Yongquan plays Xia Jiang, Sun Xiaohui plays Xia Jiang's wife, and Wang Hong plays Mei Changsu's assistant Li Gang.
In "大江大河", Wang Yongquan plays the role of the old secretary, Sun Xiaohui plays his wife, and Wang Hong plays Lei Shigen.
In " Ode to Joy ", Wang Yongquan plays Qu Xiaoxiao's father, Wang Hong plays Guan Juer's senior brother, and Sun Xiaohui plays the mother of the "quality man" who is on a blind date with Guan Guan.
In "Surgery", Wang Yongquan plays Dong Xuebin, Wang Hong plays Wang Chen, and Sun Xiaohui plays Granny Han.
In the film and television industry, there are quite a few families of three who are all actors. For example, Zhang Guangbei's family and Wang Fuli's family are all "sons inheriting their father's business", and they are all considered talented actors.
But it is such a long time for such a high-profile family of three to star in the same drama together. This may also be related to the fact that Wang Yongquan is a director, and it is human nature to be a little tentative during casting.
However, this family is very low-key in life. Apart from appearing in TV series together, they never participate in variety shows in private.
As a "second generation star", Wang Hong is considered a very hard-working type. He has always played small roles, but the roles he plays always leave a deep impression on people.
This is the reason why Kong Sheng didn't shy away from using him even though he knew he was the director's son. Good acting skills are the foundation of an actor.
