The high popularity of the suspense theme is really not to be underestimated, "The Gate of Rebirth" ranked first in the heat list after it was launched, and the newly launched costume spy drama "Wind Rises Longxi", and the two dramas starring Yang Yang are not opponents of the suspense theme, which shows that although the Chinese drama market has not been able to launch a decent suspense drama in the past two years, the audience's expectations have not declined in the slightest.
The main attraction of "The Gate of Rebirth" is that it is the first suspense drama with theft themes in China, and the story begins with a presentation of the process of high-tech crime, which can steal an ancient painting from the exhibition hall in just 18 seconds.
The rhythm of the play progressed relatively quickly, and the audience was steadily retained through the plot of the first few episodes, as the two protagonists of the play, Zhang Yi and Wang Junkai also became the focus of everyone's attention.
Undoubtedly, the performance of the film emperor Zhang Yi is still outstanding, different from the cold-faced police officer image in "Rebirth", which is more interesting in "The Gate of Rebirth".
Also discovered by the audience in "The Gate of Rebirth" is Tian Xiaojie, who plays Ding Shenghuo and stands up with a powerful aura.
But what is given high expectations in this drama is not the powerful actors that these audiences are already familiar with, but Wang Junkai. Although "The Gate of Rebirth" is not Wang Junkai's first work to play a leading role, it is a work that tests whether his acting skills have improved significantly after four years of studying in North Film.
Wang Junkai's controversy is almost inevitable, after all, as a traffic actor, most of the audience believes that he was selected to star in "The Gate of Rebirth", partnering with Zhang Yi and other film emperors, entirely because of the traffic effect, and the more this high popularity and high attention, the greater the pressure on Wang Junkai.
Although many viewers have given a one-star bad review after watching "The Gate of Rebirth" and attacked Wang Junkai's acting skills, in fact, his performance in the play has too many remarkable points.
Guo Qi, the producer of "The Gate of Rebirth", commented on Wang Junkai in an interview, in his opinion, Wang Junkai has a sunny boy side, but also another side of "Broken Bridge", obviously Wang Junkai was selected not because of his traffic effect, but in line with the role, although he did not mention acting skills, but the words were pearls.
The importance of zhuang Wenjie's role in "The Gate of Rebirth" is self-evident, he is not only the protagonist, but also the person who links the theft gang and the police system throughout, and he is also different from the previous college student image, although young, but has a sense of maturity beyond age.
In Zhuang Wenjie's body, there are two completely different feelings, with conflicting settings. One is a college student, and the intuitive feeling given to people in terms of perception should be sunny and vibrant, but because the other setting is that he is born into a family of thieves and his parents are dead, Zhuang Wenjie, who has been carrying the reputation of theft, is difficult to be like an ordinary college student.
And from the evaluation of Zhuang Wenjie by the surrounding students, whether it is the loss of things in the dormitory or the theft of famous paintings, some people will point the suspect to Zhuang Wenjie, which shows that it is difficult for him to get rid of his origin.
Over time, a college student who is isolated by his classmates and unwilling to interact with people will naturally not be so cheerful, but his personality will be more gloomy, and this feature of the character is accurately controlled by Wang Junkai, always looking decadent, unable to lift his spirits, not caring much about the things around him, but having a sensitive side.
In particular, he treats his female classmates, obviously he likes it in his heart, but because a person has been lonely for a long time, even if he has feelings, he will choose to continue to close himself up and refuse the kindness of the other party. However, in his heart, he did not have a heart for the female classmates who showed his liking to him.
Therefore, when facing his female classmates, he behaved coldly and distantly, but when he faced Ding Shenghuo and his party who might hurt her, he was as angry as if he had been touched with reverse scales, which showed that he was not a cold-blooded animal, but also had other emotions, but rarely showed them, and Ding Shenghuo could arouse his emotions because he understood Zhuang Wenjie.
Some actors express the emotions of the characters when interpreting the more complex roles in this setting, but Wang Junkai is obviously collecting the performance. When he found Liao Detong with the ancient painting and sold it to him, because the ear was stuffed with a monitor, the other party needed to scan their whole body, and Zhuang Wenjie had to come up with a countermeasure in a short time.
It can be seen that as the monitor gradually approaches the ear, Zhuang Wenjie's emotions are getting more and more nervous, but he is very calm, if Wang Junkai squeezes his eyebrows when interpreting this scene, it is easy to make the character distorted.
Compared with the skillful interpretation of the characters, Wang Junkai has a deeper understanding of the characters, so as to accurately express Zhuang Wenjie's state of mind in different situations in a more realistic and grounded way, and when playing with Zhang Yi and Tian Xiaojie, his acting skills have a stronger sense of hierarchy.
When Zhuang Wenjie had been cautious and afraid of his own family, when he entered the door, he found that Ding Shenghuo and others had already appeared in the room, and Zhuang Wenjie was frightened because he turned on the light to see them, but this fear was only flashed on his face in an instant, and did not stay for too long.
It is reasonable to say that a college student is naturally afraid of panic when he sees such a stranger, and even will take the road and flee, but Zhuang Wenjie is after all from a family of thieves, coupled with a high IQ person, he has clearly understood the intentions of the other party, and quickly analyzed the characteristics of each person in Ding Shenghuo's team and the technology responsible for it.
At this time, Zhuang Wenjie showed absolute calmness, compared to the enemy's inner trepidation in the dark, the opponent who had been determined made Zhang Wenjie calm down. But when he knew that the ancient paintings were in his house, and Luo Jian happened to come to the door, he placed all the paintings on the table and laid out the real ones.
But in the face of the police, Zhuang Wenjie appears more restrained, and he can also feel his panic, and at this time, he has a sense of age in line with the character.
Wang Junkai's wonderful performance in "The Gate of Rebirth" has proved the producer's evaluation of him, and it is indeed because Wang Junkai has the dual temperament of Zhuang Wenjie that they chose Wang Junkai, which shows his plasticity.
Although Wang Junkai has also starred in many plays earlier, "The Gate of Rebirth" is his first work after systematic study, which is enough to prove that he has indeed achieved success.
Although Wang Junkai's acting skills are still a certain gap compared to Zhang Yi, Tian Xiaojie and other actors, it is certain that in "The Gate of Rebirth", Wang Junkai is not the so-called "face paralysis" acting skills, he not only supports this role, but also gives people a sense of realism in the true color, and the future can be expected!
