TVB's Taiwan celebration dramas in recent years have a common slot point, dramas starring first-line actors and actresses, the actors have a look, and the script is not brilliant.
Some small costs, starring second- and third-line actors, you don't have expectations for it, and you don't even know what you want to express when you hear the name, but it is unexpectedly good, such as "Sopranos Under the Cow".
The 2021 Taiwan Celebration Drama "King of Fighters" broadcast ten episodes, and from the current network discussion and audience love, this film is very general. Even li Yaoxiang, the emperor who had not appeared for a long time, could not save the "King of Fighters" with new bottles of old wine.
Overall, "King of Fighters" has more slots than advantages.
1, the plot is too far-fetched.
Hai Zhengxi, the boxing king played by his brother Tan Junyan, died in an accident, and his younger brother Hai Zhenglan (Zhang Zhenlang) calculated the account on the head of Shi Aoshan (Li Yaoxiang), inexplicably.
With his brother's stubborn personality, even if Shi Aoshan wanted to terminate the game, his brother would not listen. After the game, Hai Zhengxi's injury, normal should go to the hospital for injury examination, only use a piece of tape to paste the finish, screenwriter, director, props, you may be too begging for it, right?
Hai Zhenglan beat Shi Aoshan and put himself in prison, he impulsively beat people himself, and he also had a great responsibility. Brother and grandmother passed away one after another, haizhenglan vowed to seek revenge on Shi Aoshan, nothing more than to find a psychological sustenance for himself, a life without hope, and it is good to have hatred support.
The death of his brother, if counted, had little to do with Shi Aoshan. Can also understand the screenwriter, always have to find a reason, continue the male protagonist's revenge road, do not want the plot after how to unfold?
2, the background music is very rushing.
TVB's consistent routine uses the soundtrack to express emotional colors.
Hearing the fixed soundtrack, you can know what the plot and dialogue of the meeting are headed, suspenseful, relaxed, sad, affectionate, romantic, pretending to be warm, there is a fixed soundtrack.
The most watery part is that the clips of the first few episodes are inexplicably patched together.
In order to achieve the effect of tension and suspense, there is no gap between the dialogues, as if everyone in the play is in a hurry and does not know what to do in a hurry. When it comes to an emergency, a strange soundtrack is put in order to achieve a certain effect that cannot be expressed through dialogue and pictures. If the writer and director cannot express effective content with dialogue and pictures, whether it means that their basic skills are not passed.
3, try to add new elements, it seems to be unremarkable.
In the first episode, Shi Aoshan and Lei Jian (Yao Ziling) met in the stairwell. A good end of The Hong Kong film is to create the effect of a Taiwanese literary and art film for you.
The inexplicable soundtrack, the inexplicable turn, the inexplicable turn, is nothing more than to say that the first sight of the male and female protagonists is extraordinary.
This section does not see the romance of the first sight, only sees Li Yaoxiang's black boots, which contain mysteries. From a woman's point of view, the sole of this pair of shoes has been increased by at least seven centimeters for Li Yaoxiang. Shi Aoshan rushed not to take the elevator at every turn, wore such high shoes to walk the stairs, and was not afraid of his feet.
The actress who plays the role is too high, that is, there is such a problem. Yao Ziling and Lai Weiling, who played with Li Yaoxiang, were originally quite tall, plus their characters had to wear formal high heels. The male actor can only increase in height, in order to look harmonious in the picture.
4, casting failed.
TVB wants to praise new people we understand, but Zhang Zhenlang and Cai Jie, can not support these two roles.
Zhang Zhenlang's body training for the play is worthy of praise. After his body is strong, the overall appearance is very good, especially the head-to-body ratio. When Hai Zhenglan does not speak, his appearance is very plus, and he has a silly and honest temperament. Especially after he became famous on TV, he went to deliver takeaways, passers-by sisters took photos with him, and he entered the country stupidly, which was a big plus.
Zhang Zhenlang's literary drama is still weak, and his own temperament, as well as the roles he played before, are all roles that are the opposite of silly. Gu Qiuzai, greasy rich second generation, he acted well. Righteous revenge boy, acting skills still need to be honed.
Cai Jie's acting skills need to be strengthened.
Playing Miss Diao, to play into the type, and not annoying, the difficulty is very high.
TVB's Miss Diao Man representative, "Pearlescent Treasure", Zhong Jiaxin. Looking at her expression, it was annoying enough. But you can clearly distinguish that her dislike is because of her good acting skills.
"Heaven and Earth Boy", Zhang Keyi. Zhang Keyi's Miss Diao Man played very layered. Even if it is the willfulness, toying with feelings, and teasing people in the early stages, you can understand that it is caused by her family background. Zhang Keyi's casual action and one look are very tasteful of Miss Diao.
When he met his sweetheart, Zhang Keyi became a little cute again. Coupled with this face, who can hate it. Can only say Zhang Keyi, Yan is very matched.
Jiang Jiaqing, played by Cai Jie, is not pleasing to the people, and the actor's own acting skills are not powerful. It is a rich second generation who is completely annoying, annoying, and only shouts when expressing emotions.
There are many ways to express willful cruelty, not to speak loudly to represent brutality, and to tie two small braids to represent innocence. Intellectually mature face, really not suitable for this hairstyle.
The screenwriter forcibly added to her and Hai Zhenglan's emotional line, which is not sweet at all, and it is difficult to snort. Hai Zhenglan looked at her, looking very embarrassed, and there was no sense of CP between the two of them at all.
Cai Jie and Zhu Minhan (Shi Aoshan's son) still have a strong sense of CP. In the off-screen interview, Cai Jie herself is cute and speaks generously and decently. Unpleasantness is a matter of character and acting.
5, the plot is incredible.
As long as Shi Aoshan is in a bad mood, he will go to drag racing without a word. The car sped inexplicably, and the most inexplicable thing was that he saw a sports car on the road, which he could encounter at different times and in different places, during the day, and at night.
He also let him see that the owner of the car was a middle-aged aunt. He passed by and gave his aunt a contemptuous look.
What exactly is this paragraph trying to say? Just purely want to force the camera for the gold lord's father's sports car? Proof that TVB is not poor, don't we only have a BB100 sports car? Isn't there only one villa in Saigon (the one with the swimming pool and not even the parasol by the pool)?
6, the male one is so rich, but there are only two sets of clothes.
Shi Ao Shan has the whole fitness kingdom, lives in a large villa, and drives a sports car. Even five million sports cars are willing to buy. Don't want to buy yourself two more outfits?
In the play, the two leather coats are worn around, and one of them has a particularly high appearance rate. Could it be that he is a fan of Mai Ti Shuang, and there are many sets of the same clothes?
Take off your coat indoors and wear a leather vest inside, which can be used as a new set of clothes. Can't help but applaud the costumes for this play, be creative!
"King of Fighters" is not without merit, and the candidates for supporting roles are good, so it is said that the protagonist relies on luck and the supporting role relies on strength.
Laughing boxing king Ye Yingfeng (Huang Ziheng), with this role, he has a good chance of winning this year's best supporting actor.
If Huang Ziheng did not have the previous peach-colored scandal, he had already entered the front line, standing in the same position as Zhang Zhenlang and Wang Haoxin. Huang Ziheng has a face, a figure, and acting skills, which is much better than most of the male actors that TVB praises. His literary and martial arts are excellent.
Huang Ziheng said that playing the role of Ye Yingfeng was very enjoyable, he had two fights in the ring, because of a certain action, he injured his body and rested for a week. After completing the last fight scene, he was excited and tearful on the scene, feeling that he had done it. Ye Yingfeng is the king of laughing boxers, which is very different from the roles he has played before, and most of his previous roles are villains or serious people, even if they laugh, they are sinister and treacherous laughs.
Huang Ziheng and Zhang Zhenlang were interviewed and asked whether the figure in the play relied on computer retouching.
They laughed and explained that they really practiced it themselves, plus the angle and lighting. Zhang Zhenlang also taught everyone that if you want to look thin waist, you can take pictures of the side, do not shoot the front, the thin waist is twisted by angle.
The actress Lai Weiling's literary drama is very solid, and she has a lot of emotional drama with Li Yaoxiang in the play. Li Yaoxiang's dialogue, Lai Weiling can catch, and it is very good. Lai Weiling's acting skills are even better than Yao Ziling's. The acting skills of stage actors are never a joke.
The drama between Hai Zhenglan and Grandma is the most touching point of the whole play. Family drama, to be filmed naturally and without sensationalism, is not easy.
Zhang Zhenlang and Tan Junyan, the brothers, have a good relationship in private. Tan Junyan was already answering the next question, and Zhang Zhenlang also said that he was very grateful to his brother for helping him enter the play, and he wanted to hug his brother to express his gratitude. Tan Junyan couldn't stand it and gave Zhang Zhenlang an expression that couldn't stand you.
"King of Fighters" has many outdoor shots about street scenes and market wells, which are full of Hong Kong flavor. Sometimes, Hong Kong dramas do not have to pursue innovation too much, polish every detail well, and strive for excellence. After all, people who watch Hong Kong dramas like pure Hong Kong flavor.
Another male partner, Tan Junyan. After being scolded for so many years, Tan Junyan can finally act. Doing something to relax means that you have gone up a level. Tan Junyan's problem all along is that he acts too hard.
Where Hong Kong film actors are dedicated, they can gain weight for the play and lose weight for the play. Even 58-year-old Li Yaoxiang can lose weight if he wants to.
Truly dedicated actors, the body and appearance are all for the role, the face is not willing to get dirty, the clothes must be beautiful, and the filming must be beautiful and handsome, which for them, does not exist. The audience is watching the play, not looking at you.
If the full score is ten, from the previous ten episodes, "King of Fighters" has about seven points. Five points are for the script, and two points are for the dedication and acting skills of the actors. "King of Fighters" as a Taiwanese drama, our expectations for it are very high, and the requirements are naturally not low. Looking forward to the follow-up plot, the characters in the play can be more complete and more three-dimensional.
