When you can't help but shed tears, if you can stand on your head, the tears that are about to flow will not flow out.
This line was once popular throughout Asia,
Now it seems that this is a bit "sick",
Who would stand on his head when he is sad?
If we follow the requirements of Huaze class , then we will not only stand on our heads, but we can even wash our hair.
The TV series "Meteor Garden " adapted from the long girls' comic "Boys Over Flowers" by Japanese cartoonist Kamio Yoko is not only a youthful memory for countless people, but also the originator of "Taiwanese puppet drama".
At that time, every girl in her prime liked to imagine herself as a slum girl like Shancai , and regarded four handsome boys as the material of her dreams.
Especially the gentle and affectionate melancholic prince Hua Zelei made the audience feel both heartbeat and love. Because of his appearance, the position of "second male lead" is no longer just a supporting role in love dramas.
The popularity of "Meteor Garden" has also allowed the film and television industries in various countries to see the commercial value of this IP.
In addition to the two domestic remakes of TV series, Japan, Korea, Mattel, , Vietnam, , and the Philippines are all following suit in remakes.
Among the various Huaze categories with unique customs and customs, which one is your favorite?
Recently there is a popular meme on the Internet : Human beings will always fall in love with Huaze class repeatedly
This is all thanks to Zhou Yimin created the classic Huaze class image in the Taiwan version of "Meteor Garden".
This version should also be the most familiar and popular version for the audience.
F4 is the abbreviation of Flower 4, which means four handsome boys. In reality, Yan Chengxu, Zhou Yimin, Zhu Xiaotian and Wu Jianhao also formed the F4 group and made their debut, becoming a smash hit.
Perhaps the author of the original comic did not expect that one day his work would be so popular that it would be remade all over the world.
It not only made many newcomers such as S and F4 popular, but also made Japanese film producers the first to see their own potential stock.
Zhou Yimin's gentle temperament fits well with Hua Zelei's melancholy. The scene of playing the violin makes him still the Bai Yueguang of countless female fans.
Because they saw the popularity of Taiwanese idol dramas, Japan also decided to take advantage of the big IP.
So Japanese F4, composed of Jun Matsumoto , Shun Oguri , Shota Matsumoto, and Riki Abe , officially debuted.
Shun Oguri, who is tall, has dark skin and has strong lines, was originally somewhat different from Hanazawa Lei. Many fans of the original novel were not optimistic about him at first.
But as the gauze fluttered in the library, Oguri Shun, who was reading quietly, interpreted Huazawa's aloofness with a gentle look in his eyes.
Compared with Zhou Yimin's approachability, Oguri Shun's melancholy appears more grim, but it shows the temperament of a wealthy and noble son, so this version has become a very classic representative of the Huazawa genre.
It’s just that Shun Oguri is still a gentle and gentle boy, but he has transformed into a hot-blooded high school gangster Genji Takitani , fighting for a "bloody road" in order to stand at the top of Suzuran.
In 2009, Flower 4 transformed into Handsome 4, or H4 for short, and its meaning became a simple and crude "four handsome guys".
The ratings of "Let's Watch the Meteor Shower" have skyrocketed since its launch.
Overnight, Zhang Han and Zhu Zixiao were created into a new generation of popular idols. The careers of Wei Chen and Yu Haoming who debuted as fast boys have also reached new heights.
Especially Yu Haoming, the Duanmu Lei prototype he plays is Hua Zelei.
A male lead who is silently protective, gentle and considerate is always easier to impress the audience. What's more, Yu Haoming himself has the temperament of the brother next door, so the audience is envious of Chu Yuxun's happiness.
However, this drama is also very controversial. As a mainland drama, it has many characteristics of Taiwanese puppets.
's exaggerated lines and performance are a bit embarrassing, and the costumes are also a bit shoddy. It's like having their heads permed by Master Wang of Cunkou. There is no trace of the temperament of these four top rich second generations.
Also in 2009, while "Let's Watch the Meteor Shower" in the Mainland became popular all over the country, the Korean version of "Boys Over Flowers" also landed on major TV stations.
At that time, it was the peak of Korean actor Lee Min Ho 's career. This time, he and Kim Hyun Joong , Kim Jun , and Kim Bum formed the F4 group with the most durable looks.
The entire drama can be said to be completely better than the mainland version in terms of costumes, , styling, and shooting techniques. Therefore, it quickly overshadowed the limelight of "Let's Watch the Meteor Shower" and became a popular idol drama in Asia.
Kim Hyun Joong shouldered the arduous task of starring in Yoon Ji Hoo , the prototype of Hua Ze. His handsome appearance and gentlemanly behavior set a fire in the hearts of countless girls, making him a Korean star overnight. Top male stars.
Unfortunately, in his most glorious years, he was framed by his ex-girlfriend and trapped in a domestic violence scandal.
Although it took 4 years to finally clear his name, he has long since lost his place in the fiercely competitive Korean entertainment industry, which is really disappointing.
After explaining several classic versions, let’s take a look at a few versions that are not quite right.
American dramas have always given people a very "high-end" impression. They can contribute mysterious scripts, superb acting skills and magnificent special effects on various themes including suspense, science fiction, urban, and emotion.
But in terms of idol dramas, Meiliguo is really not good at it.
It’s a good campus youth drama, but they arranged four actors of confusing ages to play F4.
Each of the original "handsome guys" is uglier than the last. Fortunately, the casting of Hua Ze is pretty good, and he looks particularly good-looking against the backdrop of the others.
The innocent "Shan Cai" turned into a "street girl" covered with tattoos, Daomingsi was a mafia young master and a basketball master, Ximen became a super artist who monopolized the top of the record list.
What's even more outrageous is the setting of Huazawa. His musical talent is infinitely "super doubled" in the US version. With 100 Grammy Awards , he can become a piano master in 5 days.
The poor fans were so embarrassed by this eye-catching drama that they cried "Thunder".
Vietnam is a magical country, there is nothing they dare not take pictures of.
I originally thought that the American version was already the basement of the "Boys Over Flowers" IP, but after watching the Vietnamese version, your native language will become "speechless".
From this version, we can no longer see the shadow of "Boys Over Flowers" at all. I feel that the Hometown Love series are more idol-like than they look.
If Liu Neng Zhao Si Xie Guangkun Wang Dana formed an "Ivory Mountain Garden", it should look better.
When the F4 left China, Japan and South Korea and arrived in the Philippines, there seemed to be an indescribable deviation in aesthetics.
Dao Mingsi, Hua Zelei, Feng Meizuo, Ximen Yan, Dong Shancai, even their character names are full of plastic piracy.
The fair-skinned, beautiful and long-legged Hua Zelei turned into an Amazon savage.
’s fluffy and shapeless wig, the same lips of the speechless boy and his intelligent eyes all tell the story of the casting director’s poor performance.
Is this the most flirtatious character in F4?
This image is not to mention that Shancai didn't choose him. The audience can resist not smashing the TV, it is all for the sake of the Amazon rainforest. It can only be said that they are too careless.
After watching those eye-catching "Meteor Garden", we return to the topic again and take a look at the two recently released remakes.
Although Thailand often produces some shocking dramas, the quality and level of their TV series have been rising sharply in recent years. The appearance of the actors alone has successfully attracted the attention of the audience.
Bright and Win, two actors who have quickly become popular in Asia for their roles in "The Immortal", participated in this "Meteor", playing the roles of Thyme, whose prototype is Daomingsi, and Kavin, whose prototype is Ximen.
Newcomer actor Dew got a hot role like Hua Zelei just after his debut, named Ren in the play.
He is 190cm tall and graduated from Srinakharinwiro University, one of Thailand's top universities. He is a literary and artistic academic who is full of artistic bacteria.
Therefore, his bookish temperament and handsome appearance quickly reminded the audience of the throbbing feeling of being dominated by Hua Zelei.
Thai version has now become the beauty ceiling in all versions of "Meteor Garden".
Although watching the routines of idol dramas in 2022 will inevitably feel a bit embarrassing and vulgar, the audience's outlook will always follow the facial features. As long as the handsome guy is eye-catching, no matter how vulgar the plot is, it will be treated as sweet.
The biggest feature of domestic film and television dramas is that you can catch a wool and pluck it up.
"The Legend of the Condor Heroes" has been filmed for 4 editions, "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" has been filmed for 6 editions, and "The Legend of Heaven and the Dragon Sword" has been filmed for 13 editions. Zhang Wuji was so busy that he shook his head.
"Meteor" has not escaped the fate of multiple remakes. Following the two movies "Let's Watch the Meteor Shower Together" and " Let's Watch the Meteor Shower Again" released in the Mainland, in 2018 Mango Channel once again launched a new version .
This TV series follows the character names of the Taiwan version. The new generation of F4 is composed of new actors Wang Hedi, Guan Hong, Liang Jingkang , Wu Xize.
Compared with the classic Huaze type of previous generations, Guan Hong's appearance is more like the popular little milk dog younger brother type. Although he is 184cm tall, he still gives people a cute and cute feeling.
It is worth mentioning that Yu Chengqing and little S also starred in this drama, which made many old fans shed tears of the times.
In addition, this version was produced by Taiwanese screenwriter Chai Zhiping. When the Taiwanese version was filmed, the original comic was not finished, so Chai Zhiping may have made a wish to produce a complete TV series of "Boys Over Flowers".
So in 2017, she once again obtained the authorization from the original author to put the new version of "Meteor Garden" on the screen.
Have seen so many classic, handsome, and eye-catching Huaze types. Finally, let's take a brief look at "F4" brought by many big names in the variety show " Extremely Selected ".
Among the many versions, although there are various Huaze types, in terms of beauty, no heroine can be better than the actress who played Shancai at that time Xu Xiyuan .
If anyone can compete with Big S, it is the extremely selective Shancai Lin Chiling .
But in this version, it is no longer important whether the heroine is beautiful or not. The "sock scarf" Huang Bo and the "sad to the point of vomiting" Zhu Bishi are the biggest highlights.
Huang Bo even mocked Lin Chiling for her poor conditions.
Sun Honglei , Wang Xun , Zhang Yixing , Huang Lei starred in the four handsome boys of F4, but no one expected that the one who was qualified to play the role of Hua Zelei turned out to be "Squirrel" Wang Xun.
A solidified wig was put on Wang Xun’s head, and he stood upside down awkwardly, making him embarrassed to shed tears. Brother Xun’s Hua Ze type really caused a great "scare" to the audience.
I think everyone was amused and laughed at that time, but now looking at Vietnam, then the Philippines, and looking back at this issue of "Extremely Selected", I feel that the appearance is not so unacceptable.
Postscript
I still remember when I was a kid, when I came home from school, I would rush to the TV and watch "Meteor Garden". We couldn't bear to miss even the theme song of "The Last Resort".
It has been 21 years since the first "Meteor" was aired. Many plot contents have gradually become blurred, but the love for the characters is hard to forget.
After the TV series "Remember" became popular, Zhou Yimin and Big S came together, which made up for the regrets of many drama fans. Even sister Xiao S was obsessed with this relationship.
It is a pity that the princess and the prince did not get married in the end. More than 20 years have passed, and everything has changed. I wonder how much changes the netizens who once loved this TV series have experienced now?
