A recent hit drama, "Beginnings", refreshed my understanding of the noonday sun.
In the past high noon, I was good at emotional dramas. From "Parental Love" to "Big River", to "All Is Good", "Joe's Children"... In recent years, almost half of the word-of-mouth domestic dramas are produced in the noonday sun.

As the saying goes: produced at noon, it must be a fine product.
But this time "The Beginning" is different. It is a short drama with only 15 episodes, and the genre belongs to the modern science fiction drama, telling a story about the cycle of time:
Adapted from the novel of the same name by Qi Jun, the drama tells the story of game architect Xiao Heyun (played by Bai Jingting) and college student Li Shiqing (played by Zhao Jinmai) who "came back from the dead" after encountering a bus explosion, constantly experiencing the time cycle during the time period of the bus accident, from getting off the bus to saving themselves to breaking the barrier and fighting side by side, trying to stop the explosion and find the truth. ”
It can be said that you can't see the shadow of the midday sun.
Such a setting not only tests the actor's acting skills, but also tests the logic of the screenwriter. After all, to be reasonable, you have to buckle one link after another to make people look down.
Unexpectedly, the attempt was successful.
First of all, the pace is fast, just 2 episodes of the protagonists cycle 10 bus bombs, they are thrown into that time vortex again and again, and experience death again and again. And the "Cannon" ringtone is the button that starts this deadly cycle.
In fact, in the cycle, they have already mastered the method of self-help, but in order to rescue more people, they still choose to put themselves in a dangerous situation and overturn it. It was only when they were full of justice that the other passengers acted indifferently.
Therefore, it seems to be an upgrade to fight monsters, but in fact, the most tested is human nature.
Let's look at the actors.
In the past, the main actors of the noonday sun were basically middle-aged actors of the powerful faction, and this time it was not easy to choose Bai Jingting and Zhao Jinmai to carry the big banner and play with Liu Yijun and Huang Jue.
Xing Kelei, who had previously beaten ten, had now become a weak chicken who had been pressed to the ground and rubbed, and had no power to fight back. Of course, this is just the beginning.
After calming down, his mind quickly returned to the cage, and he felt that the "Ming Detective" was on the body.
What is even more surprising is Li Shiqing, played by Zhao Jinmai, looking at her here, you should also issue a sigh of "sister grown up".
In the scene where someone stabbed her throat with a knife and stabbed her throat to death, the despair and immortal sense of survival in her eyes, and a strong sense of suffocation, are what you can feel across the screen.
Only occasionally I still play because of my sister's beauty. It seems that the phrase "the eighteenth female university is getting better and better" is really not empty.
Zhao Jinmai, who has entered the public eye with "girlfriend professional households", should be regarded as an actress who has been watched by everyone to grow up.
In fact, she was already very good-looking when she was a child, a little bit of mixed race, round apple face, black and white eyes, smiling sweetly like a doll, full of cuteness and cleverness.
Therefore, she is indeed very handy in playing her daughter, such as "Ma Peng'er" Jin Qinqin in "Little Parting", and Lin Miaomiao, who plays on the same stage with Zhang Jiayi Yan Ni in "Young Pie".
Her appearance is not aggressive, it is the sweetness of the warm style, the characteristics are not too sweet, and she always maintains the authentic state of the adolescent girl.
But as she grew older, this face also became more and more bone-chilling and light, no longer limited to the style of the neighbor's sister.
Obviously, her facial soft tissue began to decrease, at the same time, the facial features became more three-dimensional and delicate, the characteristics belonging to the little girl were less and less, and the sense of maturity began to appear.
Over the years, she has been accustomed to acting as a student, basically does not wear any makeup when she appears on camera, plus she usually likes to look plain, and she has no chance to try makeup.
But it's not that she's not suitable for thick makeup, but her makeup artist doesn't practice her phone at all and doesn't know how to deal with it, just like many makeup novices don't know what kind of eyeliner they are suitable for, what color lipstick is the same.
But as long as you choose the right one, it really looks good.
Zhao Jinmai's original eyebrow shape is short, especially the eyebrow tail is triangular, and the overall is rough and wild, although it will give people a straight feeling but somewhat childish.
But now it was different, her eyebrows were trimmed as a whole, and the edges were clearer and cleaner.
When drawing eyebrows, the makeup artist focuses on lengthening the eyebrows, but also weakens the peaks of the eyebrows, so that its overall direction is in a curved arc, like a thinly curved crescent.
The rounded face shape and facial features enhance the rounded bluntness of her appearance, while by lengthening her eyebrows, you can weaken her prominent large eyes and round face, making her look more delicate and delicate.
At the same time, such a curved eyebrow shape is very much in line with her rounded face, highlighting the gentle and delicate temperament.
Another change was in her eyes. Because Zhao Jinmai's eyes are very large, the eyeballs are slightly convex and there are more whites underneath, and it is easy to give people a feeling of lack of concentration in their eyes if the eye makeup is not good.
Although it is still light makeup, the thickened and deepened eyeliner has played a role in focusing the eyes, and the black eyeliner and curly eyelashes can visually reduce the white part of the eyes, making the eyes look more divine and more feminine.
The frontal view of her nose is short and round, and the nose is upturned, which also enhances her childlike spirit, looking amiable and endearing.
For this reason, the makeup artist deepened the contouring of the nose part of her nose and made her nose look more delicate and light.
At the same time, the contour at the bridge of the nose has also been adjusted, and the shadow has been extended from the mountain root to the sides of the nose wing, and the nose shape has been extended, so that the overall shape is much more inward.
Although the overall bluntness of her face is strong, there are some parts that are also very delicate, such as lips. Her people are short and deep, like a pinched doll, especially cute;
At the same time, her upper lip is thinner, and the round nose has formed a complementary relationship between the upper and lower levels, and the light lip color highlights the thin upper lip connecting the people, so that she has the femininity and cool air of the classical beauty, so the emotional drama no longer has the previous sense of violation of watching children fall in love.
After "The Beginning", I believe everyone can see this beautiful and acting sister who has hung all the way.
