Editing, directing and acting are all temporary choices.

"Bitter Lotus" is like a clean stream that washes people's hearts.

● Wen/Qin Li's highly anticipated Taiwanese Mandarin series "Bitter Lotus" was well received by the public after its launch; Simple plots and detailed pictures are not only rare on domestic screens, but also comparable to the production level of American and Japanese TV dramas.

Bitter lotus left home penniless with grievances. It is night when she walks in the wild. She is cold, hungry and scared, but her grandmother and parents at home are calling her. She wanted to go back to her parents, struggled to fall in the wild and finally fainted.

Be careful not to wake up in a small room. An old man, awei, and a young man, Zhuang Siyuan, are all looking at her. They are all happy to see her wake up. Xinlian has lived in a cabin ever since. Living in the mountains is simple and pleasant. Xinlian took the initiative to help them do laundry, cooking and housework, and Zhuang Siyuan taught Xinlian to read and multiply.

Zhuang Siyuan is a noble family. When studying in Japan, he joined the anti-Qing League. Back in Taiwan Province Province, he was wanted for anti-Japanese activities and had to flee the mountainous area. Although Zhuang Siyuan loves his country and people, his father is a traitor that everyone hates. So, when he was depressed and difficult to relieve, he took out his flute and played it. Xin Lian was considerate and listened silently, and he could feel his sad mood.

After Xin Lian lived a carefree life in the house on the mountain, Zhuang Siyuan decided to go down the mountain and personally send her home. Before leaving, she gave her beloved flute to Xin Lian as a souvenir. On the way to Sihexi, the Japanese police found that Zhuang Siyuan was killed in the escape, and will never forget the scene of her beloved uncle Zhuang's tragic death.

Due to drought, crops failed and life became more and more difficult. Xinlian came home to witness the difficulties at home and decided to leave her hometown to work as a long-term worker. At this time, Su E, the mother of Xinlian, went to the hot spring hotel in Sihexi to help clean for a living, and Xinlian also decided to help Ji Zheng's office in Hengchun. Before leaving, Xin Lian went to Sihexi to visit her mother, and met her mother and daughter at the hotel, which was a great surprise. That night, Xinlian had the best meal.

Early in the morning, Su E gave Xin Lian a puppet to tell her how she felt when she missed her mother or was wronged. Xin Lian embraced the puppet and began to accept a new life.

The sixth studio of TVI is about to start shooting the surprise scene of love at first sight between mother and daughter in the hot spring hotel. Tai-Feng Hsia, the proprietress, wore a kimono with purple background and white flowers, which set off her skin beautifully. Although there are not many performances, every expression and expression are performed just right. It is precisely because of her rich experience and self-demand that she can control the drama naturally.

Kun Li, a veteran actor who plays a drunken man, rarely appears on the screen. This time, I rolled a corner in "Bitter Lotus" because of my deep friendship with director Lin Fudi. In the play, he plays a wealthy businessman Tian, who is rescued by Su E after being drunk in the wild. Afterwards, he gives a gold watch as a token of his gratitude. Su E refused because the gift was too expensive. Tian didn't expect to be born in poverty to have this integrity and knowledge. He valued Su E more.

Kun Li, who has more than 30 years of acting experience, is famous for his acting skills. In the past, he was famous for his comedy. What is the reason why this veteran in the film and television circle is willing to play Uncle Tian in the drama "Bitter"? He said: "In addition to being kind and difficult to get along with, I also have an artist's temper and have a choice. I appreciate director Lin's plays. Although there are only a few games this time, as long as you perform well, you don't have to care about the number of times. "

However, Pepe's playing is not so good. When the lines are long, Pepe is a mess, which often makes the director and the on-site staff laugh and cry. Lin Fu couldn't help saying, Pepe, you can write a script, and you can write the next play. Fortunately, Sue's mother reminds Su Huilun from time to time.

Mei Fang became attached to "Bitter Drama" from "Don't Say Goodbye". This time, she plays Xin Lian's mother, a wicked aborigine who has struggled in a difficult environment all her life. In a scene opposite Lu Zhi in the studio, there was not much dialogue, and it was all about expression. Mei Fangzheng looked at Lu Zhi thoughtfully, bowed his head and sighed. Interrupted by the ringing of the telephone, Mei Fang picked up the phone and said to the director in a hurry: My husband was injured in a car accident and had a slight concussion. Lin fu said sympathetically, the last shot can call it a day. Maybe it's anxiety Mei Fang's sad eyes are particularly vivid. She tells Jintu lightly: I have a good mother-in-law, but I don't have a good husband. The director said "cut" and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

On the domestic screen, "Lin Fudi" is a resounding golden signboard. Judging from the series he directed in the past, it was both good and popular. This time, the elaborate "Bitter Lotus" not only surpassed previous works, but also washed the audience's vision and mind like a clean stream. ■

Reflections on Bitter Lotus

The launch of a good drama will always cause widespread concern and discussion, and the TV series "Bitter Lotus" is the best example at present.

These days, as long as the audience friends have seen "Bitter Lotus", they are deeply moved, and it is said by word of mouth that it is a refreshing and clean spirit of martial arts fantasy in the prime time of the screen.

The most obvious reason why Bitter Lotus deserves praise is its exquisite ingenuity in production. As the reporter of the United Daily News reported on July 23, "In order to shoot' Bitter Lotus', the production unit traveled all over the central and southern regions and struggled for the location. When the actors went up the mountain and down the sea, many people encountered or even got involved in danger." It is clear to all objective people in the film and television drama circle that the drama lasted eight months from preparation to broadcast. Director Lin Fudi, with his consistent rigorous spirit, no matter the selection of actors, the configuration of costume props, the use of internal and external lenses, or even the arrangement of various production details, is not a hasty practice of many drama programs at present, but a painstaking pursuit of perfection. A drama that is painstakingly managed and carefully produced like this can win the audience.

The best part of Bitter Lotus lies in the proper use of realistic themes and the healthy expression of theme consciousness. This drama depicts an extraordinary woman's hard struggle from being a domestic servant to becoming a big entrepreneur. Her life story is also setting off the modernization process of our country and society. The rhythm of the plot skillfully beats the pulse of history, and the true meaning of bitterness and sweetness explained in the play should have considerable enlightenment significance to modern life. The Central Daily once pointed out that "Bitter Lotus" describes the changes of social structure in the past 50 years. Through the growth process of "Bitter Lotus", let us recall how our society has achieved today's progress and prosperity with everyone's efforts. "This comment is profound and fair.

In the TV environment, TVI can broadcast the healthy, authentic and inspirational "Bitter Lotus" in time, which is really excellent. We should remember that just last week, we also talked about the limitations of martial arts in TV programs. Due to the sequela of Hong Kong martial arts dramas, martial arts dramas are flooding on domestic screens, and people who understand them are very worried. It is an inevitable trend to restrict martial arts dramas moderately. "Bitter Lotus" completely got rid of violent gimmicks, and made such a fresh, beautiful and touching drama with the theme of ethical affection and loyalty to human nature, which will definitely win the public's affirmation at once and win more and more enthusiastic admiration with the progress of the plot!

Watching "Bitter Lotus", we seem to think of another successful series "Stars Know My Heart" at any time. Both of these plays depict great love, simple human feelings, warm society and beautiful countryside, which have the same effect. In these two plays, the protagonists are in extremely difficult adversity, and with kindness and wisdom, perseverance and hard work, they can finally improve their own or their children's environment and gain incomparable admiration and success. This kind of drama, for people in adversity, has an inspiring effect, and for people in prosperity, it also has inspiring power, which can really play the social and educational significance of comforting people with drama and convincing them.

In fact, what makes the general audience associate Bitter Lotus with Stars Know My Heart is the signboard of this good drama led by director Lin Fudi. This production team is almost equal to the representative of a good drama, so the audience of "Stars Know My Heart" has become the intimate audience of "Bitter Lotus". It is reported that the production team of "Bitter Lotus" particularly emphasized that this new drama will be a masterpiece beyond the "star" drama, fully demonstrating the confidence of TV people in constantly pursuing self-transcendence. We are in the same mood as the general audience, and we are happy to see the updates and breakthroughs of TV dramas and achieve greater success. ■

Special report:

Bitter Lotus bears witness to the times.

● Wen/Gao Yi

The TV series "Bitter Lotus" finally ended with the attention of thousands of viewers. For director Lin Fudi, this play is undoubtedly his most elaborate masterpiece recently; But for our whole society, "Bitter Lotus" seems to be the loudest drama on the screen again. In fact, the shock of Bitter Lotus lies not only in the cuteness of the little girl portrayed in the play and her personal hardships, but also in its story itself, which can reflect the face of the whole era and the personal experiences of many people.

It seems that not only the compatriots living in the Japanese occupation era, but also all those who have experienced the sufferings of modern China. A veteran who called himself an "old robber" came forward and spoke his inner feelings.

The "robbed old man" pointed out in a letter to Shi Yonggui, general manager of Taiwan TV Station that "Bitter Lotus" is enough to witness the sufferings of modern China. He went on to mention the various development processes between Taiwan Province Province and the mainland since the late Qing Dynasty, and thought that since treaty of shimonoseki, Taiwan Province Province has fallen under the Japanese iron hoof, and "the life of compatriots in Taiwan Province Province is in dire straits", as described in the play Bitter Lotus. However, after eight years of anti-Japanese war in China, Taiwan Province Province returned to the embrace of the motherland, but the mainland fell into the clutches of the * * * party. Over the years, compatriots on the other side of the strait have also lived a hard life. The person concerned said that Taiwan Province Province and the mainland are inextricably related by blood and geography. Nowadays, when we watch Bitter Lotus and Remembering Bitter Thoughts, China people can't forget the plight of one billion compatriots in mainland China in particular.

He also pointed out that today is indeed at a critical moment of "the intersection of heaven and man", and "the meaning of heaven and earth is condensed in Taiwan, Peng and Jinma". Since the former President Jiang Gong, under the leadership of Mr. Guo, as Confucius said, "self-denial and self-respect, the world returns to benevolence" has made people feel that the future is full of hope.

What moved me most was that he wrote, "I think I am a tough guy. I never shed tears in the most difficult situation. I don't know why. I have shed tears for "Bitter Lotus" several times ... "It is conceivable that he is a brave warrior who once shed blood for the country and many compatriots.

He believes that ATV's production of "Bitter Lotus" is a great contribution to society, and encourages it to continue its efforts to produce more good programs to give back to society and the country. ■

TV Summary: Inspiration from Bitter Lotus

● Text/Core

It is rare to have the patience to sit in front of the TV and watch more than ten episodes of Bitter Lotus.

This is because the story is touching, and actors are rarely competent: play the village woman like a village woman, play the poor like a poor man, play the teacher like a teacher, and play the girl like a girl. What I admire most is the poor old woman who is dying, and a little girl who is carrying the main event. They are natural and realistic, which makes people cry.

What is commendable is that the plots and stories he developed all contain an educational significance, warning the younger generation to work hard and pursue the importance of reading knowledge. Emphasizing hard work and a strong life, we should grasp the direction of life in any environment.

In one episode, a sensible old lady in Hengchun Town asked the little girl, "Where are you from?" The girl replied: "Tangshan." The old lady asked again, "Where is Tangshan from?" The girl replied: "China people!"

"Yes, it's from China. I'm glad you haven't forgotten our ancestors! "

This dialogue has aroused the national consciousness of many people, and it is also the shame of forgetting their ancestors for very few people.

Yes, drama is the art of entertaining the public, but entertainment is the real purpose of drama. Many swords and shadows series have been stimulated and killed. What is the impression left in the audience's mind? It is cruel, cruel, selfish and heartless.

As for the love series, the twists and turns have passed, and the joys and sorrows have passed. In addition to the warm love of relatives, how many people can feel the same?

Yes, drama has a great relationship with the mental health of the audience. Anything with flesh and blood, love and affection is bound to cause a * * * sound. On the contrary, unsound hate killing and negative pessimism can also directly affect the audience's ideology.

Therefore, as in "Bitter Lotus", it is a metaphor for the years of sorrow and joy, the inspiration of hard work, and overcoming setbacks. Life hopes that this point has far-reaching significance, and it has indeed achieved the dramatic effect of entertainment without forgetting education, simplicity rather than preaching.
