Since the end of this month, the domestic drama market has seen the phenomenon of five David TV broadcasting separately for a long time.
In such a situation, we have to say it separately.
The good thing is that there are more plays, and the audience has more choices, but the bad part is that each David TV does this means that there is no real "big drama" in the near future.
But there are no absolutes.
After comparing them one by one, I found a pretty good TV series:
"Canal Winds" broadcast by Beijing Satellite TV.
Originally known as the Grand Canal.
In my opinion, the drama has 4 major advantages, not much to say, to share with you one by one.
First, produced by Mountain Shadow.
Last month's broadcast of "Meet the Season", an urban drama that gathered Yuan Quan, Lei Jiayin and Liang Guanhua, is currently only rated 4.8 by Douban, which is not surprising.
Because every year is more "rotten" than this drama, abounds.
Why is "The Season of Encounter" scolded so badly?
Very simple:
Produced by the midday sun.
In the domestic TV drama market, there is a famous saying: "Produced at noon, it must be a fine product."
It is precisely because of the consistent high quality of Noon that this unsatisfactory drama has suffered a lot of criticism, but then again, this excellent TV series production team cannot be completely denied because of the quality of a certain drama at Noon.
In fact, I have always been more "mountain shadow", that is, Shandong Film and Television Media Group, and the noonday sun was born from "mountain shadow".
And in recent years, the two have maintained a close relationship of close cooperation.
Shanying's works cover a variety of themes, especially the legendary dramas of history and era, which include but are not limited to Zhu Yanping's version of "Wusong", "Breaking into Guandong", "Parental Love", "Langya List" and other excellent works.
This "Canal Wind Flow" is another legendary masterpiece of the era produced by Mountain Shadow.
Second, the famous director is edited.
For a film and television drama, the director and screenwriter are necessary conditions for success.
The high-rise building is flat, and the script is "foundation".
The screenwriter of the play is the famous Gao Mantang, as one of the screenwriters who cooperate most closely with Mountain Shadow, behind many excellent works, they are written and created by Gao Mantang.
For example, the farther "Home has nine phoenixes", "Breaking into the Guandong", "Old Farmer", more recent "Mountains and Seas", "Old Tavern", etc., Gao Mantang was born in Dalian, Liaoning, his ancestral home is Qingdao, Shandong, his parents are the old people who "broke into the Guandong", so for the stories that happened in the northeast and Shandong, he always contains endless nutrition.
Gao Mantang's works are often synonymous with atmosphere and ruggedness, full of national epic ambition and pride, and this creative style is perfectly in line with the realistic creative ideas he has always adhered to, constituting an epic of struggle for the working people.
The director, the helmsman of the show, was also chosen appropriately.
Zhang Xinjian, as a first-class director of Mountain Shadow, his status to Mountain Shadow is like Kong Sheng's status in the noonday sun, when filming "Breaking into Kanto", Kong Sheng was Zhang Xinjian's deputy, and zhang Kaizhu and other directors also followed Zhang Xinjian to co-direct TV series such as "Old Farmer".
On the set, Zhang Xinjian is like a big parent, with his place, it will always make the whole crew have an upward cohesion, and his encouragement and support are a great help for those young crew members and actors.
Third, famous performances.
It needs to be said that this drama has no real first-line actors from the main actors to the supporting roles.
But they are all down-to-earth "strength factions."
1. Gong Zheng
On Gong Zheng's body, there is a label: host.
In 2004, Gong Zheng, who was only 21 years old, came to CCTV to serve as the host of "Five Days Talk - Horizon", but he always had a dream of being an actor, so later, he left CCTV and came to the Central Academy of Drama to major in acting.
After officially entering the show business circle, Gong Zheng starred in works such as "Qia Classmate Boy" and "Confucius Spring and Autumn", although not the main actor, but his solid acting skills and plasticity as an actor have been fully revealed.
2. Wang Yuanke
Wang Yuanke, who has been an active member of literature and art since childhood, has not had a smooth road to art.
Once, a private performance school in Beijing came to Yantai to enroll, the teacher suggested that she try it, the result was really selected, and later admitted to the military arts, the high tuition fee made Wang Yuanke's parents who were just ordinary workers very embarrassed, but later for the sake of their daughter's future, they still borrowed a circle of money to realize their daughter's dreams.
Facts have proved that Wang Yuan's strength and development in the show business circle are far beyond expectations.
3. Sarina
The farther "Breaking into the Kanto" is not to be said, "The World of Man" everyone has watched, right?
The parents of the Zhou family, played by Teacher Sarina and Teacher Ding Yongdai, are the acting skills in the play, and they are also the existence of the needle of the sea god. Especially in the scene after Zhou Zhigang's death, Zhou's mother drove the children back to the house to rest, and then sat next to her husband's body and died safely.
It's like a sculpture.
4. Li Naiwen
To say that the plasticity of domestic male actors, Li Naiwen is absolutely middle-level.
In my impression, he has played laid-off workers, imported drug agents, the second generation of the rich who lack heart and eyes, the famous minister Li Si of the Qin Dynasty, the scumbag who cheated, etc. The role contrast is so great that it is not enough to describe it just by "throwing the face of the drama".
No matter what role he plays, Li Naiwen always has the ability to make people enter the play quickly, which may be the ability of the actor.
5. Yue Yang
In the dramas produced by Mountain Shadow and Noonday Sun, Yue Yang is called a golden supporting role, and he deserves it.
For example, in "The Ancient City of Jing", when the big gold tooth played by Yue Yang appeared, as a fan of the original work, I knew that this role, well chosen, smart with sleekness, cunning and hidden a trace of righteousness, the big gold tooth was played by Yue Yang into the wood three points.
As for the costume drama "Son-in-law", it is a complete development of Yue Yang's funny ability.
6. Liang Linlin
About Liang Linlin, there is a large list of names:
The first founder of Li Yunlong's feelings, the heroic and fearless female figure, and the turning point of Ping'an Geller.
Just kidding, of course.
Liang Linlin's role in "Breaking into the Guandong" and Xiuqin in "Bright Sword" not only impressed the audience, but also added more attention to this actress with a healthy and sunny image.
7. Liu Wei
In "I Love My Home", Liu Wei played the intellectual Teacher Meng, and at that time, I felt that his image was extremely suitable.
Later, his performance in "Kangxi Micro Service Private Interview" made me think that maybe he could try the peasant image, and as a result, Sun Yuhou in "Ordinary World" made people think that he was a character who came directly from Lu Yao's novel.
But he was Emperor Ming of Tang, Wei Yan, Li Zicheng, and Li Si.
The extraordinary skill of the old drama bone in acting is no longer needed to be said.
8. Zhao Longhao
Zhao Longhao, who graduated from the Central Academy of Drama, is a proper and powerful faction among mainland actors.
In "The Great Qin Empire", he played the great general Wei Ran of the Qin State, and in "The Name of the People", he played Xiao Gangyu, but there is only one point, for some reason, this powerful actor is always on the road of "changing his name".
From Zhao Chunyang, to Zhao Chunyang, to Zhao Longhao, I really didn't know what to say.
9. Jiang Han
He is also an actor who Shanying often collaborates with.
In the film and television drama starring Jiang Han, he was almost stereotyped: the second or third generation of the incomplete instrument.
For example, Liu Chan in "The League of Military Teachers", Hua Xiaobao in "Ma Xiangyang Goes to the Countryside", and changing the progress of deaf and mute people in "The World of Man", but let people see a completely different place.
10. Kang Qunzhi
The role of Liu Meilan in "Ode to Joy" makes Kang Qunzhi well known to the vast audience.
However, like many powerful actors in China, Kang Qunzhi has been deeply involved in the drama stage for many years and won the Golden Lion Award, the highest award in the Chinese drama industry.
The main cameo characters in the play are Wang Yichun, Ding Haifeng and others.
In addition, other powerful actors in the play include Li Chengfeng, Song Jialun, Bai Hongbiao and others.
Fourth, the legendary drama of the era
The story of the play takes place in Jining, Shandong.
Here is the south of Weishan, the east of Qufu, more importantly, the Grand Canal through the city, making the city a famous land and water dock in the north, the world called it "Canal Capital".
In the early years of the Republic of China, Jining City, where political leaders and merchants gathered, had three religions and nine streams:
For the official: Huang Zirong, GangZheng Bu'a;
Business: Song Lusheng, standing in good faith;
Dancing ink: Yang Chunzao, literati style bone, teaching to write history;
For the bandits: a cloud, chivalrous infatuation.
Officials, merchants, writers, soldiers, and bandits, in the chaotic world that suffered major changes in the early years of the Republic of China, showed the spiritual outlook of a generation of Chinese sons and daughters with multiple characters, multiple facets, and historical events.
Republic of China drama has always had its own unique charm.
In an era when old and new ideas are blended, stubborn conservatives such as the old and the young, and the new young people who have broken through the ideological barriers, are bound to produce tremendous contradictions and conflicts.
It is also in this conflict between the old and the new that we can see the vivid and moving stories of that era, and the sparks of the clash between old traditions and new ideas.
