The Hong Kong circle in the last century was not short of good-looking male actors, and Wen Zhaolun is a character that cannot be ignored. At that time, there was even a saying that after Wen Zhaolun, there was no man to like in Hong Kong dramas.
may be a bit arbitrary, but after you have watched this " I am Kind ", you may understand why this statement is there. As the ratings champion of that year, this drama has rarely been mentioned in recent years.
As a feature film, "I am Kind" still has not escaped the fixed mode of Hong Kong dramas in that era. Audiences who are familiar with Hong Kong dramas should know that the main reason why Hong Kong dramas have a good reputation is that excellent Hong Kong dramas can tell a good story.
In this drama, the director tells the story from the perspectives of businessmen, policemen, and ordinary people. The director tells us the warmth and coldness of human feelings in the face of interests entanglements.
In the story, Jiang Dingbang thought he had lost his wife and children because of a big fire, and he went abroad with a disheartened heart.
I never thought that he met a foreigner, Qi Qiaozheng, who was honest on the surface but actually a gangster boss.
Coincidentally, Jiang Dingbang thought that his wife and children who had lost their lives became Qi Qiaozheng's wife and children. Even if the starring lineup is particularly strong, the audience will still feel speechless. Fortunately, the actors' performances make many viewers accept this setting.
After discovering Qi Qiaozheng's true face, Jiang Dingbang collected evidence to prepare to send him to prison.
However, no one expected that his son Haonan chose to take the blame because he admired his adoptive father. The two fathers' struggle made his son hurt. Jiang Dingbang fell into a tangle of family affection and legal principles.
At the same time, Haonan and Shi Yiming have a good impression of each other, but in the complex social relationship, it is difficult for the two to truly face their inner emotions.
Wen Zhaolun, who was 26 years old at the time, was at the peak of his appearance, and his image in film and television dramas also gave people a sense of intimacy.
In the casting stage, screenwriters Chen Baohua and others want the most Tony Leung , but unfortunately, they failed to choose for various reasons.
However, it was a surprise that Wen Zhaolun appeared. The drama became the ratings champion that year, and in the same year it won the silver medal at the New York International Film and Television Festival. Wen Zhaolun, as the starring actor, made an indelible contribution.
Speaking of the birth of the drama "I am Kind" thanks to the screenwriter Chen Baohua. The concept of this story lingers in Chen Baohua's mind for a long time. Unfortunately, few senior executives took a fancy to such stories at that time. Fortunately, Chen Baohua's persistence allowed this work to appear.
Speaking of the film and television industry back then, there were many excellent feature films. Such a story of "recognizing thieves as fathers" was somewhat non-mainstream. If it was broadcast today, many viewers would probably question the screenwriter's brain circuit.
Back to the work itself, almost everyone who likes this work will praise the screenwriter's intention.
revolves around three families and two children. We see the living conditions of different classes in society, and at the same time we can see the sparks colliding with different ideas.
Jiang Dingbang is a representative of justice in the play, while Qi Qiao is the negative representative of being blinded by interests, while ordinary people sandwiched in the middle are the most pitiful characters, such as Shi Yiming's father in the play.
Unfortunately, Wen Zhaolun didn’t have a strong voice in the film and television industry at that time, and did not receive much publicity after his works became popular.
Although some drama fans specially made an MV for "I Am Kind", due to their poor relationship with the media, Wen Zhaolun did not get the chance to become famous after the work was broadcast, otherwise he would have had the chance to be active in front of the audience today.
Of course, for the audience, being able to see Wen Zhaolun’s peak performance in this drama is also a pleasure.
Generally speaking, the drama "I am Kind" is a very high-quality TV series. Although this drama was aired in 1990, it is still an excellent work today.
Audiences who like appearance can appreciate Wen Zhaolun's handsomeness, while viewers who like plot can appreciate human nature in their works. Such a comprehensive work is worthy of the high score of 8.7 on Douban.
It’s a pity that audiences nowadays rarely see such wonderful works about family affection. Which is the best Hong Kong drama in your mind?
