Zhang Guoli's "In My Life" did not have high ratings, but after Gao Xixi's "Bright Sword" was released, it broke the ratings record of "Blood Romance" and triggered a nationwide ratings frenzy.
This TV series also stars Li Youbin, Huang Zhizhong stars as Zhao Gang, and Zhang Guangbei stars as Chu Yunfei. The heroine Tian Yu is played by Zhu Yuanyuan.
The reason for its popularity is mainly because it created a brand new image of the Eighth Route Army general. Before that, most of the Eighth Route Army cadres had an upright image, decent but hard to get close to, especially not in line with modern people's aesthetics.
Li Yunlong, played by Li Youbin, is witty, brave, loyal, and somewhat ruffian and reckless. Although he is no longer so majestic and upright, he is approachable and gives the audience a refreshing feeling.
Therefore, "Bright Sword" stands out among many war movies and achieved such high ratings.
…
After "Bright Sword" comes "A Pair of Embroidered Shoes".
Its manuscript was a hit at the time, with twists and turns, suspense and gripping plots. It is a rare masterpiece. The TV series adapted from it are also extremely suspenseful and thrilling, making the audience thrilling and unable to stop watching, so the ratings are also good.
After "A Pair of Embroidered Shoes", the ratings of "Mansion Gate" were released, and the ratings of this TV series were even more explosive, surpassing the ratings record set by "Bright Sword".
This TV series is directed by Kong Sheng. It is based on the historical changes of a large house selling medicine and practicing medicine in Yanjing. It tells the story of the grievances and vicissitudes of a group of people.
The grudges, life and death, blood, tears, love and hatred, the ups and downs of the mansion are vividly presented to the audience. The story is exciting and suspenseful, and the characters are vividly created. Even a small supporting role is so vivid.
The audience is naturally knowledgeable, so they all gave it high praise.

The three hit TV series of the year were all launched by Kirin Pictures, beating all other companies. This also made the already famous Kirin Pictures even more powerful, and more people wanted to join.
However, Kirin Pictures selected the best among the best, and in the end only six people were selected: Wang Lei, Zhu Yawen, Wang Kai, Tong Liya, Shu Chang and Tang Yan.
At the end of 2004, "Talk about Love" directed by Ouyang Fenqiang officially landed on the screen. This movie did not use the original cast.
Because it has been more than two years since the TV series was aired, the actors are already older. So Ouyang Fenqiang chose a newcomer, starring Wang Lei and Tang Yan.
This can be called the Chinese version of "My Sassy Girl". After its release, the box office and reputation were not very good.
On the one hand, Wang Lei and Tang Yan are newcomers, not popular superstars, and have little box office appeal; on the other hand, "My Sassy Girl" was produced in 2001, and it is almost 2005, and Sassy Girl is hot The fever has started to subside.
Therefore, in the end, the movie only received more than 5 million at the box office. However, Kirin Pictures did not suffer a loss, because the film cost only 3 million, and it was later sold to a movie channel and earned more than 3 million in copyright taxes.
…
During the Spring Festival of 2005, "Mobile Phone" directed by Feng Xiaogang was officially released.
Starring Ge You, Xu Fan, Xie Yuan, Zhang Jingchu, etc., this movie tells the story of TV host Yan Shouyi, who was in trouble due to his cheating.
Strictly speaking, this movie is not a Lunar New Year comedy. It has even fewer humorous elements than "A World Without Thieves". But the audience was still very supportive.
In the end, the movie took in 58 million box office. Although it was less than half of the box office of "Hero", Feng Xiaogang was still very satisfied. Because this movie is the type of movie he most wants to make.
In fact, the people who benefited most from this movie were not Ge You, Xu Fan, and Xie Yuan, because they became famous early on. "Mobile Phone" is just the icing on the cake for them.
The person who really benefited was Zhang Jingchu. The Wu Yue she plays in the film is both flirtatious and full of scheming, three-dimensional, lively and vivid. Not only did he charm Yan Shouyi in the film, but he also fascinated the audience outside the film, so he became a popular little flower.

Entering 2005, Xiang Nan's career has been advancing by leaps and bounds.
Today, Kunpeng Real Estate is not only the largest real estate company in the mainland, with a market value of over 100 billion Hong Kong dollars, but it is also not far behind the real estate giants in Hong Kong and Taiwan.
Jin Manying is also the largest local catering brand in the mainland, second only to foreign brands such as McDonald's and KFC.
Today, the turnover of one of its stores can reach tens of millions. There are nearly 500 stores across the country, with an annual turnover of more than 3 billion yuan. It is a veritable giant, and its market value has also increased to 15 billion yuan. .
In fact, Xiang Nan's biggest profit is not from real estate and catering, but from the Internet. After the Internet bubble broke out in 2001, he started buying the bottom.
Google, eBay, Amazon, Alibaba, Tencent, Baidu, Xinxang, Souhu, NetEase...the stock prices of these companies plummeted that year, and Xiang Nan took the opportunity to make acquisitions.
Nowadays, the Internet industry is picking up, stock prices have rebounded, and the stock prices in Xiang Nan's hands have also risen sharply. Now, not counting other properties, the stocks he holds alone have reached about 30 billion U.S. dollars, ranking among the top ten richest people in the world. .
Entering the new century, Chinese people's desire for wealth continues unabated, and all wealthy people are sought after.
Not only will they be awarded various titles and honors, not to mention XX representatives and XX committee members, even universities will award honorary doctorates, visiting professors, etc. to wealthy people. Even CCTV has begun to select the top ten economic figures of the year.
Therefore, Xiang Nan, who is so rich, naturally attracts the attention of the public, and his popularity continues to increase. He is even more popular than when he wrote the book.
However, Xiang Nan still tried his best to keep a low profile, doing various interviews, lectures, and competitions, pushing if he could, and rejecting if he could. Because since ancient times, China's richest man has never ended well.
Deng Tong of the Han Dynasty was the most prosperous in the world, deeply favored by Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty, and his official position was supreme. After Emperor Jing came to the throne, he was demoted to prison and died in despair; in the Jin Dynasty, Shi Chong was so rich that he was the enemy of the country, but in the end he had all his family members beheaded; in the Ming Dynasty, Shen Wansan's family had a fortune of tens of millions, but the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty was jealous and exiled; in the Qing Dynasty, He Shen, the leader of the Qing Dynasty, was greedy. The wealth is more abundant than the national treasury, but in the end, the body is left hanging in a white silk ribbon...
Entering modern times, the richest man is also having a hard time. In 1999, Hurun compiled the first mainland rich list. As a result, over the past few years, half of the people who had been on the list had gotten into trouble and either ended up in jail or had their fortunes plummeted.
Therefore, being the richest man has no benefits. On the contrary, it will attract trouble and cause unnecessary trouble.
Therefore, Xiang Nan had to be even more careful. In addition to making large donations, he also often attended a series of official events, trying to establish a glorious image of himself and protect himself wisely.
