Bai Jingting should not be too miserable in "The Beginning".
At the beginning, it was fried into dried fish (Hiti Jiao Jingting's nickname), and the heartbeat stopped entering the loop, and the "weak chicken" did not fight back until the eighth episode.
However, at the end of the eighth episode, I would like to call it (so far) the highlight of the whole series, and no one who has seen it can not be impressed by Xiao Bai's excellent acting skills.
Let me first say that Bai Jingting is finally going to stand up this time!
When waiting for next week's update, brushed to the finale of "Chosin Lake's Water Gate Bridge" starring Yi Qianxi, in addition to another movie he starred in, "Miracle Stupid Child", and Liu Haoran's "Four Seas".
It is difficult not to remind people of a saying circulating in the rivers and lakes before, the main lord of the flowing water, the four major walls of iron "Bai Lei Haoqian". The four people who were the same as the wall a few years ago have now developed differently.
1.
As the "big brother" of the four walls, Bai Jingting's works are not few, that is, they have been tepid, and they always feel that they are so bad. But this time's "Beginning" is really a bit surprising.
The story of "The Beginning" is not complicated. College student Li Shiqing (Zhao Jinmai) and game architect Xiao Heyun (Bai Jingting) "come back from the dead" after experiencing a bus explosion and fall into a cycle of "explosion - wake up - continue to explode - wake up again". In the process of constant circulation, they try to find the truth and stop the explosion.
Xiao Heyun was really going to be blown up into a lone ghost, all thanks to Li Shiqing's yin and yang mistake when he cycled alone to the fifth time, pulling him off the car and forcing him into the game.
Two poor people huddled together to keep warm, frantically exploring ways to avoid bus explosions, including but not limited to "finding the police if there is a problem" and self-reliance to check the passengers on the bus. In the process of investigation, the story behind each passenger is also unfolded one by one.
Xiao Heyun, played by Bai Jingting, is a pure ordinary person. As a game architect, he did not work well, did not have a superior IQ and was a little socially afraid, and was very panicked and nervous when interrogated by the police.
But he has his own insistence on his career (well, he will also break his head with the second-dimensional brother "Zelda is heaven"), will use strong logic to sort out the clues of the explosion, and in the cycle of Li Shiqing, engage in self-control and hanging high to try to save more people. Bai Jingting's delicate treatment made the ordinary Xiao Heyun look less ordinary.
This time acting in "The Beginning", Xiao Bai was hitched a ride on the "luxury car" of the ceiling of the domestic drama production company (that is, the noonday sunshine that did "Langya List", "Pretender", and "Mountain and Sea Love"). The actors of the partner are Liu Yijun, Huang Jue, Liu Tao, Liu Dan and other powerful factions; the script, with the original author of "The Beginning" as the first screenwriter to grasp the direction; the crew that pursues details, in order to make the bus explosion look real, really blew up an abandoned bus.
A strong lineup, high-quality works, and a team that strives for perfection obviously have a great blessing for Bai Jingting, and he has also contributed high-level performances in the play.

Xiao Heyun's mistaken killing of the mysterious aunt is worth taking out and appreciating repeatedly.
The knife accidentally stabbed into the opponent's body, and Xiao Heyun, who was extremely tough one second, softened the next second, and there was no more extra strength. The picture turned to black and white in an instant, but the blood on his face became more and more vivid.
The aunt slowly fell, Xiao Heyun's shaking pupils were trance and helpless, he obviously did not want to kill people; when he subconsciously looked at the crowd around him, they were either full of fear or buried in their faces to avoid the sight, Xiao Heyun's helpless eyes were stained with a little grievance and helplessness; he bowed his head, trembled and threw the knife away, and when he looked up again, there was only determination in his eyes.
When he pulled Li Shiqing outside the situation, his head did not return to the car and went forward to get off the car, the bus exploded again and was indifferent, and with each step, the determination in his eyes was more resolute. (Ma ya good handsome who understands)
In just a few tens of seconds, all the mixed emotions surged up, and the progress of emotions was conveyed vividly by relying on the change of eyes. After watching Bai Jingting's many dramas, this is definitely the scene with the strongest explosiveness and infectiousness.
2.
As a rare domestic drama with an infinite loop theme, the attention of "Beginning" continues to rise, and today's opening score soared to 8.2, something. If you are interested in the opportunity to talk about it again, today I will first talk about the "four walls".
This title appeared in 2018. At that time, Bai Jingting, Wu Lei, Liu Haoran, and Yi Qianxi, all of whom had gained a certain degree of national popularity by relying on past works, the focus was that there was no black material wind evaluation, so many people even if they were not fans, they also had a lot of good feelings, and gradually had the saying of "four big walls".
(Born in 18 years, but 19 years are still on the hot search)
Liu Haoran and Bai Jingting, who debuted simultaneously in 2014, a female classmate who had a crush on playing the cello in the movie "Beijing Love Story", and a girl who silently guarded her favorite girl in the web drama "Hurry That Year".
The two characters of Song Ge and Qiao Ran are both campus teenagers, and their youthful and clean temperament is very similar to Liu Haoran Bai Jingting himself. They received a lot of attention that year, and Liu Haoran was also nominated for the Best Newcomer Award at the Beijing University Student Film Festival.
Although the debut experience is similar, Liu Haoran, who has been appreciated by the big director as soon as he comes, has gone more smoothly on the road of an actor. The film continued to cooperate with Chen Sicheng in "Detective Chinatown", filmed Chen Kaige's "The Legend of the Demon Cat", and starred in the TV series "The Wind rises in the Langya List" in the noonday sun, these high-quality resources have laid the foundation for his later super high film box office.
As soon as the landmark role Yu Huai appeared, he was directly burned by Qiao Lang, who was also the male god of the campus. A station search for "blank cp", there will be surprises.

Of course, Liu Haoran has not fallen on his heels, and how badly Chen Turing's "Twins" fought, I will not say.
In contrast, Bai Jingting's resources are somewhat abusive. "Whirlwind Girl" and "Summer Solstice Has Not Arrived" are all similar types of campus dramas as "Hurry That Year", and the quality is still relatively general; it is not easy to perform "Tiansheng Long Song" with Chen Kun Nini, but the drama is not explosive, the reputation is still very polar, the biggest role of this play on Bai Jingting may be to leave fans with a good costume style.
However, there is no shortage of acting, that is, a weighty role. In stark contrast to the tepidness of acting in TV dramas, Bai Jingting's sense of existence in variety shows is too strong. Relying on his clever and sand sculpture performance in "Star Detective", he successfully went out of the circle and pulled a lot of passers-by.
In the eyes of people who don't know him so well, his identity as a variety artist may have already overshadowed the actor.
Unlike "White Cp", Wu Lei and Yi Qianxi grew up watching.
As a child star, Wu Lei debuted at the age of 5 and acted in his first TV series "Fengming Qishan of the Fengshen List". After that, he grew up and acted, and the number of works along the way was far ahead of the other three walls.
However, in Wu Lei's previous dramas, most of the roles were the protagonist's childhood, until the "Langya List" exploded, and the feiliu he played in it received great attention, and he began to gradually try to pick the protagonist of the beam.
At that time, Wu Lei and Liu Haoran, who were in the limelight, won the "iQiyi Night" Annual Most Popular Newcomer Award, and they were also members of the host group of "Every Day Upward", and the posters all stood in the C position together. Brother Huya × Brother Rabbit Tooth has already begun. (Now Wang Yibo, Song Weilong, Zeng Shunxi, etc., who are more out of the circle, were once members of the group)
Yi Qianxi became one of the four major walls, not relying on acting skills. After all, the TV series he starred in before 2018, whether it is "Qingyunzhi", "Si Meiren" or TFBoys self-made web dramas, can be classified as black history.
As the idol of the original generation of internal entertainment, Yi Qianxi himself has accumulated super popularity, coupled with his continuous exploration, releasing personal singles, self-choreographing modern dances, and being invited to participate in the Grammys... In addition to the combination, his strong personal atmosphere has become increasingly prominent, and more and more fans have been circled.

The "Four Great Walls" are actually read as rising stars, and for a time, they all have a bright future.
3.
18 years is a fateful point in time, not only the four major walls of title explosions, each of them almost ushered in a turning point in their acting careers, writing a foreshadowing for follow-up.
The most surprising thing is Yi Qianxi.
First of all, as a star captain, he participated in the variety show "This! It's hip-hop." From being questioned, to showing professional ability beyond his age, to finally leading the team to win the championship in one fell swoop, this is the strength of dancer Yi Yi Qianxi.
At the same time, he also began to shine in the field of actors.
That year, he filmed "The Twelve Hours of Chang'an" and "Young You". The role of Li Bi is not mature enough but amazing enough, Yi Qianxi's understanding as an actor has been demonstrated; Liu Beishan has let him get rid of the identity of traffic love beans and become a recognized actor, receiving nominations for N awards, winning the Hong Kong Film Awards Best New Actor, Hundred Flowers Awards Best Newcomer and other awards.
In the beginning, Yi Qianxi was not the first choice for the role of Liu Beishan. Director Zeng Guoxiang just thought that this child had ideas, but did not grow up, and there was a little age gap with the role, until half a year later he saw a group of photos of Yi Qianxi, and found that he was completely different from before, there was a feeling of transition from teenager to adult, and the director felt that all this was "all fate".
Yi Qianxi also made a big breakthrough in order to shape the little bastard Liu Beishan. For example, if you shave a real inch, you will try prop cigarettes again and again without smoking.
In fact, Yi Qianxi started from his debut, and there are many people who are not optimistic about his development. The biggest controversy was that his face didn't look outstanding enough. But he did not grow a very handsome face, but on the contrary, he made his appearance more malleable; the stability and complexity of his age, or the temperament of a teenager, allowed him to express all his emotions quietly and frankly, which was extremely convincing.
Zeng Guoxiang said that Yi Qianxi's eyes and his face will make you think that he has a story. These qualities of his may be a disadvantage for Aidou, and there is no doubt that they are advantages for actors.
Yi Qianxi, whose acting skills and popularity have been double-certified, naturally there is no shortage of good cakes. Last year's Spring Festival in the main theme of the movie "Chosin Lake" played a step by step to become a warrior Wu Wanli, he starred in the sequel "Chosin Lake Water Gate Bridge" next month's Spring Festival will be released; another Spring Festival movie "Miracle Stupid Child", Yi Qianxi is a completely different image, becoming a deep drift oppressed by fate.
In 2018, Liu Haoran won the nomination for the Best Actor of the Hundred Flowers Award that year with "Detective Chinatown 2", becoming the youngest nominee in the history of the Hundred Flowers Award.
Since the debut of "Northern Love", Liu Haoran has been appreciated by Chen Sicheng, and later cooperated with "Tang Detective" again, borrowing the advantages of comedy suspense themes and catching up with a high-national actor like Wang Baoqiang. It can be said that Liu Haoran became popular, with his own efforts, and it is the result of the favorable time and place.
Luckily, as he is, high-quality resources continue to pour in, and many big directors and big coffee actors are partnered in the follow-up. Up to now, Liu Haoran, who has become the leader of 95 small students, has rushed to the fourth place in the TOP100 at the cumulative box office of the starring movies. (Although it is a bit of an inflated height, it is a level of riding dust in the 95 students)
However, although liu Haoran has participated in many large-scale blockbusters, many of them are group plays or unit plays, and they have been circling in this type of drama, which is not an accumulation for actors, but a kind of consumption.
Liu Haoran seems to be aware that the plays that have been taken over in the past two years have jumped out of this framework. The Spring Festival file to be released in the "Four Seas", in which he incarnated as a motorcycle teenager who killed Matt's yellow hair, the image is completely different from the previous clean and sunny appearance; "Flames on the Plain" unlocks a new professional criminal police, but it seems that it is not just a crime romance film, Liu Haoran said that the movie most impressed him is "a group of people in a big era background, fighting against fate, and to find a process of finding themselves." ”
Compared with Yi Qianxi and Liu Haoran, there is some gap between Wu Lei and Bai Jingting's road.
In 18 years, Wu Lei's works were many, but almost no grain was harvested. The reputation of "Asura", "Sand Sea" and "Fighting to Break the Sky" is extremely bleak; the only "Shadow" of Zhang Yimou, who has a splash, and Wu Lei of N Fan have very little role in it.
Wu Lei faces problems that all child stars encounter. Cute enough to be handsome enough when I was a child, it was easy to be liked no matter what I acted, but after truly becoming a young actor, how to find the direction and how to open myself is the biggest problem.
Last year, Wu Lei temporarily saved the scene "Long Song Line", the performance was qualified but there were few highlights; in the highly popular "Midsummer Future", he presented zheng Yuxing, a high school student, in an extremely natural way, but the movie finally became "The Last Night of the Earth" 2.0 (but I personally like this movie). Behind these "twists and turns", it seems that the shortcomings of Wu Lei's family-style workshop team have also been exposed.
Bai Jingting actually has a similar problem. Halfway out of the house mistakenly hit the line by mistake, the resources that can be accessed are limited, and there is no back to the big brokerage company, the team operation depends on himself and his cousin, and the pure self-employed one. This "freedom" is a double-edged sword, and he can take over the role exactly as he likes, but some of the roles he really wants are likely to be unattainable.
In 18 years, Xiao Bai, who was not salty and not light, played three male number ones in one breath. The three dramas have different types, and the reputation is very different, but none of them have made him a big fire; last year's "You Are My City Fortress" was also a foot away from the circle.
Fortunately, this time "The Beginning" looks quite circle-breaking, Bai Jingting's acting skills have also received a lot of recognition, if he can take this opportunity to win one or two performance awards with gold content, his future path will be better.
Of the four major walls that were once there, some people are still walls, and some people have become the top stream. Although the development of the four people is different, it is good that they all study their own careers with their hearts, and the focus is that there is no collapse, and I am very pleased with the wall fans.
In the future, no one can say for sure, after all, everything in the entertainment industry is indefinite. Maybe "Star Han Brilliant" came out, and the three stone brothers soared, or maybe "Beginning" is really the opportunity that Xiao Bai has been waiting for for a long time!
