Even if you don't like the tone of "Ideal City" and the suspended Huangpu River window scene, don't like its heavy workplace business war and light feelings, and even have a lot of criticism of the makeup and performance of the mother-in-law, but just the "uncle-style performance" of the whole play, we feel that it is worth the full ticket price.
These uncle-level male actors, in addition to Yu Hewei, although they are very senior, but very few people can call out their names, today to call for this group of uncles who are full of thorns, because they are worth it.
Li Chuanmiao as Huang Lilin (General Manager of Tianke Construction under Yinghai Group)
"Ideal City" is a workplace drama, about the reinforced concrete construction industry, a large group of big bosses "war", it seems to be a little serious and tense. At the beginning of the first episode, Huang Lilin, the "yellow fat man" who gave the heroine Su Xiao a bad job, gave the whole drama a touch of light comedy.
There is even a word derived from the word "love nephew pie".
In the middle of the episode, Huang Fatzi and Su Xiao competed, and a term #Killed by Huang Lilin appeared on Weibo. Huang Fatzi's unreasonableness was scolded by the whole network.
But after Huang Lilin's stroke, there was a little sympathy for him in a "deserved" sound. It's like Huang Fatzi said, "I originally wanted to watch the chairman fall, but he really wanted to fall, but he was reluctant to do it", which is a reason.
Teacher Li Chuanyi, who plays Huang Lilin, is really acting too impressive. Before the stroke, he was a contract foreman who was free, and after the stroke, his performance was not only not discounted, but more glorious.
Sad and cute, but treacherous and cunning, this is the portrayal of the yellow fat man after the stroke. Li Chuanyi even the movement of every muscle on his face was so dramatic.
Especially after Huang Fatzi learned that Xia Ming helped him get the difficult Cui Brother, he said "After you tell me to sit I will sit", the rhythm of the performance is meticulous, which can be called an acting textbook. And this kind of scene, there are really too many.
We know that Mark Zhao Youting has a good vision for drama selection over the years, and his acting skills can be improved every time, this time he entered the "Acting Club" of "Ideal City", and Li Chuanyi played his uncle and nephew, and his acting skills have improved a lot.
Li Chuanyi and Zhao Youting on the set of "Ideal City".
To say that Zhao Youting and Li Chuanyi act together is equivalent to taking a semester of acting (line) classes, because Li Chuanyi is the real teacher - the line teacher of the Shanghai Theater Academy. Zhao Youting's biggest problem before was his Taiwanese accent of reading white, but after experiencing many works in the past ten years, to "Ideal City", it has entered a very good state - the biggest bottleneck in the development of Taiwanese male actors in the mainland, he has been swept away, and he can go further.
This is a group photo of Teacher Li Chuanyi and this year's theater graduates, and the students all call him "Uncle".
This treasure "uncle", in fact, in early 2021, was dark red once, in the CCTV drama "Loading Stage", he played the fierce and kind uncle Scar of the Earth Bully, especially the audience, as long as he appeared, he suddenly had a comedic feeling.
The story of "Loading the Stage" takes place in Xi'an, and several of the actors are also from Xi'an. The role of Uncle Scar is not much, but it is said that the artistic director and the male protagonist Zhang Jiayi still took a lot of effort to invite fellow Li Chuanyi to play.
As an actor, Mr. Li's identity is very diverse, and he has achieved quite a lot in film and television performances, dubbing, radio dramas, dramas, etc.
The nian gongquan of "Dragon Gate Dart Game" is played by him, and the confrontation with Guo Jingfei is the competition between teachers and students.
Teacher Li has also voiced many film and television dramas, most recently for the character of the Japanese film "The Long Farewell" released in China in August 2020.
Recently, it will not be too long to see "Huang Lilin", just in the 2022 New Year's file may be released in the movie "Cloister Pavilion", you can see his performance again, this movie lineup is very strong, including Ren Suxi, Liu Mintao, Hu Ke and Wu Haochen.
Chen Minghao as Wang Jiong (General Manager of Tiancheng Construction under Yinghai Group)
Tiancheng boss Wang Jiong is also a particularly eye-catching character in "Ideal City". Although his personality is also flamboyant, he is not as stubborn as Huang Fatzi, and he is also a boss who makes good use of talents, but people can't help themselves in the jianghu, and they have to do some "common human feelings" two-sided and three-knife things, and the audience is more "distressed" for him.
Although there was a knife inserted in the back, without Wang Jiao, there would be no later "Director Su".
When watching "Ideal City", I saw a bullet screen, "Oh my God, where to find such a dramatic actor!" "It's About Wang Jiong's actor Chen Minghao.
Uncle Hao's wang jiong is too good, and weibo also has a term called #Chen Minghao's wang jiong is too interesting#. Just by watching him and Li Chuanyi play Huang Fatzi in the play of "play within a play", it is enough to "seal the gods".
In this scene of bidding for adultery, everyone thought that the brothers had quarreled.
Turn around and drink the brothers' wine, the double acting skills outside the play are reversed, and I ask you if you are convinced?
As an actor in the National Drama Theatre, Uncle Hao's reputation and status in the field of drama are very high, and he also participated in this year's reality show "Drama New Life" as a flying guest.
The famous "Opinion on the Life of Two Dogs" is just one of his brilliant drama resumes.
This year, together with his old partner Meng Jinghui and classmate Zhang Ziyi, he also served as the artistic director of the first Aranya Theatre Festival.
Speaking of Zhang Ziyi, by the way, Uncle Hao is one of the members of the star class of the 96-level performance department of Chinese opera. His age is not very old, but playing the 51-year-old Wang Jiao, he is indeed leaning on the road of a mature uncle (he is a post-70s).
A few years ago, Uncle Hao rode a battery car with his wife and children to participate in the classmates will be photographed, some people feel sad, but in fact, in addition to the safety hazards, it is also quite grounded.
Because Uncle Hao has been deeply engaged in the field of drama for many years, his film and television performances are few.
But does anyone remember the childhood memories of "Pauline Lantern Prequel"?
In recent years, Uncle Hao's film and television performances have been more numerous, such as he became the fat man of the universe of "Notes from the Tomb Robber".
Classmate Qin Hao played Wang Fatzi in Wu Xie's "Sand Sea".
Played Wang Fatzi in Zhu Yilong's Wu Xie's "Restart of the Extreme Sea Listening to Thunder".
Recently, Uncle Hao's works will be on the line in a spurt, and it will follow.
Launched on September 9, Duan Yihong and Dapeng double male protagonist of "Double Detective", he will play a role called Wang Zhong.
In the movie "Everything About My Mother" released in the Mid-Autumn Festival on September 19, Uncle Hao and Xu Fan should have more scenes.
In the movie "Fame and Fame" released on November 19, Uncle Hao plays a role called Lu Ziye, who is the protagonist of "Lu Ziye", a powerful protagonist.
And on December 24, Christmas with the New Year's file "Moses on the Plain", he is also one of the main actors.
Zhao Jun as Xu Zhiping (Chief Economist of Yinghai Group)
Four flat and eight stable, observing the color, moderate and stable, old and calculating, it is said that this "water master" Xu Zhiping. In fact, in a workplace, whether radical or conservative, xu Zhiping is needed as a high-level person to act as a "buffer" between major factions.
Zhao Jun, the actor of Xu Zongjing, although he did not have the outside like Li Chuanyi and Chen Minghao, he still used a very introverted way to interpret Xu Zongjing' role, which may have been relatively dull, to interpret the feeling of gentle breeze on the surface but waves on the inside.
Just the section at the beginning of the episode pretending to be ill, Uncle Jun's pinching seems to be light and light, but in fact, it immediately outlines the face of an "old fox" in the workplace.
And knowing that he pretends to be ill, it is not exposed, and the scene of chairman Zhao Xiankun and Xu Zhiping in front of the sickbed is also worth repeated scrutiny and watching. This scene is actually not fierce at all, but the needle hidden in the cotton is quite critical to shaping the entire workplace atmosphere of Yinghai Group in the future. The performance of the two acting uncles is really a "peak dialogue".
In the election of the leader of the reform group, he knew that Zhao Peng had already lost, and Xu also voted for him, which also proved the shrewdness of the "Duanshui Master".
Uncle Jun, who is hidden in the dark, is the winner of the highest gold prize chicken award in Chinese cinema, and he has also won it twice.
One was in 1996's "Angkor Please God" won the Golden Rooster Award for Best Supporting Actor, when he was still called Zhao Jun, just in his early 30s.
In 2003, he won the Golden Rooster Award for Best Supporting Actor again with "July of the Car Watcher", at this time he has changed his name to Zhao Jun. The hooligan he played in this movie was simply amazing, and he could not be associated with Xu Zhiping, the health uncle.
For so many years, Uncle Jun has performed in too many film and television dramas, and this face is quite well known.
For example, Liu Zonggong in "Dajiang Dahe", but Uncle Jun did not appear in "Dajiang Dahe 2".
There is also Dong Ruhai, the butler who can be called an acting director in "The Age of Entrepreneurship".
Li Hongtao as Wang Mingyu (Deputy General Manager of Yinghai Group, General Manager of General Contracting Company)
Unexpectedly, Wang Mingyu, deputy general manager of Winhai, was the "big devil" who hid the deepest and finally revealed his true face.
The first 30 episodes have been quiet for many years, lining up the troops and not moving.
It wasn't until the last few episodes that the ambitions of the "Big Devil" were revealed.
Wang Mingyu, played by Li Hongtao, also showed the form of the ambitionist behind the city government in a very measured way.
Uncle Tao is an actor in Beijing Renyi, and he is the old partner of Liu Jin, the director of "Ideal City", and may be the most cooperative between Uncle Tao and director Liu Jin in addition to Zhang Jiayi and Ji He.
In 2012's "Cliff", Uncle Tao played Lu Ming, the captain of the Police Agency, that is, the role of Li Naiwen in the movie "On the Cliff".
This still just lines up the three royal male actors directed by Liu Jin, Zhang Jiayi, Li Hongtao and Ji He.
In 2017's "White Deer Plain", Uncle Tao played an important role, Bai Jiaxuan's long-term worker Lu San.
He also starred in Jia Xinyu in Liu Jin's "Good Life".
Uncle Tao's output in recent years has also been quite abundant, with three or four works every year, and the TV series "Warm Taste" broadcast earlier this year also has his performance.
Yu Hewei as Zhao Xiankun (Chairman of Yinghai Group)
As the "top stream" of the uncle circle, Yu Shu's performance in "Ideal City" is of course another stroke for his already wonderful work list. However, there are many group dramas in this drama, and the role of Zhao Xiankun, who is relatively distributed to the male number two, is limited, and even he has a lot of ambitions, many grand plans have not been greatly displayed, and the episode is over, which is a bit unwatched.
There is not much to say about Yu Shu's acting skills and resume, just want to talk about his self-discipline as an actor, a male actor who has just turned 50, can maintain his state at such a good level, not greasy, not out of shape, it is a very rare model, and he should be able to become the top of the "uncle circle".
In addition, the male and female emotional lines of this workplace drama are only Su Xiao and Xia Ming, Wu Hongmei and Zhang Xiaobei. And this gang of uncles, it only gave Zhao Xiankun emotional drama, although his and Wu Hongmei's love affair finally came abruptly and ambiguously, but in the "war" of a large group of big masters, I saw a tender feeling of the chairman who was high above.
Qian Yi as Chen Simin (former chief economist of Tiancheng Construction under Yinghai Group)
Director Chen is su Xiao's first "monster" on the road of "fighting monsters" and upgrading in The Yinghai Group, although it is only a small level of yin moves, but it still makes Su Xiao, who has just entered the workplace, undergo a lot of tempering.
Gloomy, scheming, self-contained, and good at pulling together gangs and factions to engage in "office politics," but the pattern is not large, which is Chen Simin's characteristic. The actor Qian Yi from Shanghai performed the gloomy feeling that made the little bad very measured.
Some people say that Qian Yishen resembles the famous Taiwanese actor Jin Shijie, but it is true, but Jin Shijie's "uncle" is eighteen years older than him.
But when you go to see Uncle Yi, you are also a very sunny uncle when you laugh.
Uncle Yi's more famous role is the neighbor Lao Li in the sensational "Snail House" 12 years ago, and the film queen Wu Yufang plays a husband and wife, the famous nail household!
But he played the most Japanese devils in the anti-war dramas, and was once even called "devils professional households".
During this year's Spring Festival, Lu Chuan supervised a seven-minute short film called "The Longest Game of Chess", and Uncle Yi played a senior railwayman with a prototype character.
There is also the "Loading Stage" at the beginning of the year, he played master Ding, the lighting engineer of the Qin Cavity Theater Troupe with a Shanghai accent, the life is exquisite and elegant, the old style is old, and the contrast between the northwest hanzi who "holds a squat wall root in the sea bowl" is cute and funny.
Zhai Xiaoxing as Cui Ge (money lending company owner)
Society you Cui Brother, pay back three days can not be more, otherwise the consequences are at your own risk.
Cui Ge is really a fierce character, and finally he was subdued by Xia Ming, but this role with few roles does have a "fierce" energy that makes people feel hairy.
Even Cui Ge's smile made people feel that things were not good.
Playing Cui Ge is Zhai Xiaoxing of the National Drama Theatre, and his father is the famous military director Zhai Junjie, whose works include "Blood Battle Taierzhuang" and "Armageddon".
Zhai Xiaoxing and his father Zhai Junjie, the two also co-directed the movie "Goal No. 1".
Many of Zhai Xiaoxing's more well-known masterpieces are inseparable from military themes, such as Zhao Chen in "Second Gunner".
There is also Zeng Yong of "Sharp Blade Attack".
In the past two years, Zhai Xiaoxing has also been a "fierce role" in the TV series, such as Dong Hu, who is also starring a group of uncles in "Trident", but finally sadly offline.
There is also Qiu Donna's biological father Yin Pingchuan in "Life Family", a character who makes people pity but hates tooth itching.
He Zhengjun as Vice Mayor He Shengli
Uncle Jun in "Ideal City" is a cameo nature, as another "uncle circle" top stream working and living in Shanghai, Uncle Jun's exposure is extremely high now, just this year's works that have been launched or will be exposed, nearly ten, uncle is very busy.
For example, let Yu Shu once again win the Magnolia Award's "The Age of Awakening", Uncle Jun played the famous diplomat Gu Weijun in the Republic of China period, and the section of the Paris Peace Conference was really tear-inducing.
In "Deep Breathing Together", he played Huo Xiang, the leader of the foreign aid medical team, a mature big brother.
Still one of the protagonists of Yu Shu's TV series "Armageddon", Jun Uncle plays Marshal Luo Ronghuan.
Cameo in the movie "No Abduction under the Heavens".
Cameo movie "My Father Jiao Yulu", see, Uncle Jun's current role is "leader fan".
At present, it is not known when the "Ace Troops" will be broadcast, and the political commissar and regimental commander of "Bright Sword" will meet again, too much looking forward to it.
Tian Hao as Lin Xiaomin (General Manager of a real estate company owned by Yinghai Group)
Lin Xiaomin, who also started from the grassroots level, can be said to be the su xiao of the previous generation, who has become very snobbish and ostentatious in the years of trial and error, but his heart is still a small number of sober people who want to promote reform.
Tian Hao's role in Lin Xiaomin is not much, but every time he appears, the audience knows that there must be a wonderful mouth cannon tearing X drama, and each time it is a different candidate. Without him, Win Hai Group would be even more lifeless.
This Tian Hao is a lightly familiar male "uncle". His most impressive role before was Yue Weishan, the villain in Liu Jin's "White Deer Plain".
In the past year, "Uncle" Tian Hao is also very active, such as the TV series "Beautiful Day".
TV series "Ideal Shines on China".
Other "uncles" in "Ideal City"
Li Bin as Gao Jin (Chief Accountant of Yinghai Group)
Gao Jin, who is loyal to the chairman, did not unfold too much to perform because of the role, and he did not see too much of Li Bin's acting skills, which is also a pity. However, Teacher Li also meets the standards of a typed uncle, especially in this scene of talking with Uncle Yu, the appearance aura has not been lost.
Liu Boxiao as Zhao Peng (Deputy Chief Economist of Yinghai Group)
Zhao Peng, who is mediocre in talent and always relies on standing in line to climb up, Liu Boxiao plays nothing wrong, but... Can you spit on the makeup of your eyebrows?
Shi Jingming as Su Xiao's father
Who wouldn't want such a warm dad who says, "When your daughter is tired, she will go home and daddy will raise you"? Teacher Shi Jingming is a big familiar (uncle) face, so I will not introduce it much.
Yin Zhusheng as Liu Tiesheng, chairman of Qunxing Plaza
This Liu Zong, played by Yin Zhusheng, is also an uncle actor from Shanghai.
Zhu Hui as Dong Hong (Project Manager of Tiancheng Construction)
Manager Dong really taught us a lesson - in the workplace, knowing how to be flexible is also one of the rules of survival. This teacher Zhu Hui is also a powerful actor, and Yang Quanjun in "Great Qin Fu" last year was very impressive.
Lin Peng as Du Yongbo (Manager of Commercial Contract Department of Tianke Construction)
In fact, Du Yongbo is a qualified professional manager who is familiar with the "law of the jungle" in the workplace. The actor, Mr. Lin Peng, can see his performance in many TV series, and he played the "real man" Director Ma in last year's popular "Hidden Corner", which is also very dramatic.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="252" > Bao Zhenjiang as Hu Changhai (Chief Engineer of Yinghai Group).</h1>
The fast-talking and outspoken Hu Zonggong is played by Bao Zhenjiang. He is actually an all-round filmmaker, making films such as "Blind Well", "Peacock" and "Guanyin Mountain", and rarely gets involved in the field of television dramas. But when you watch him play Hu Gong, he is a very experienced actor.
Yue Yang as Yu Chao (Budget Manager of Zhongjian Group)
Yu Chao is the first "pit" of Su Xiao's career, played by Yue Yang can see him in many midday sunshine dramas, well, he is the best elder brother Fan Shengying who is annoyed by Fan Shengmei.
