Recently, there have been two costume fantasy dramas broadcast on the video platform, one is "Liu Li" starring Cheng Yi and Yuan Bingyan, and the other is "Taikoo God King" starring Sheng Yilun and Wang Ziwen, because the start time is very similar, and it is also a work that belongs to the same fantasy theme, plus there is not much gap in the cast, and the audience will naturally compare the two dramas.
From the perspective of attention and word-of-mouth, "Liu Li" has more obvious advantages, on the one hand, the drama is broadcast first, plus the fantasy theme itself has an audience base, so it will naturally attract many viewers when it is broadcast; on the other hand, the drama is broadcast on two major platforms at the same time, so it has increased a lot of exposure again. And "Taikoo God King" not only has a later broadcast time than this drama, but also has only one broadcast platform, and the exposure is obviously lower, even if the male and female protagonists of the show have advantages in popularity, but they do not play too obvious a role.
Although "Taikoo God King" did not set off too many waves, it does not mean that this drama does not have anything worth praising, such as the heroine Wang Ziwen's role of Mo Qiancheng is eye-catching, and she often plays a modern role, but she did not expect to play a costume role so smoothly. There are also wonderful interpretations of Jinggangshan, Huang Haibing, Chang Cheng, Xie Junhao and many other powerful drama bones, which adds a lot of points of view to the play. Of course, the performance of a group of young actors such as Tang Jingmei, Chen Mengqi, Wu Peirou, Chen Mengyao, Yang Tun and so on can also be remarkable.
Impressively, in addition to the male and female protagonists, it is the big villain Ye Wufeng played by Chen Mengqi, the eldest son of the four major families of the Yi Kingdom. Not only is he talented and intelligent, but he can also write and martial arts, but under the influence of the Ye family's elite educational thinking, his personality has become very extreme, he and the male protagonist Qin Wentian are not at odds, and he has also made a splash in the court. It can be said that in the play, Chen Mengqi, who plays the villain Ye Wufeng, once again let us see his skills and potential in acting.
Chen Mengqi, who came from a science class, has been practicing on the road of acting for 7 years, but most of the TV drama works he starred in have not attracted much attention, and almost all of them are supporting roles, so there is naturally no big advantage in attracting popularity. However, his delicate and calm and natural and smooth acting skills have not been buried, in the previous period drama "My Little Aunt", the role of the autumn wind he played was eye-catching, and what made him receive more attention was the drama "Gentleman Detective", his performance in the play can be described as brilliant, eye-catching degree and aura do not lose the male protagonist Bai Yu.
In "Gentleman Detective", Chen Mengqi plays the psychologist Hovins, who can be said to be the most hidden villain in the play, and he is particularly calm and restrained. First in front of Luo Fei and Qin Xiaoman, he always appeared as a psychiatrist, and he behaved particularly gentle and elegant, gentlemanly and full of fan, ostensibly to help them solve the case, but in fact he had another purpose and plan.
After that, he deliberately put himself in prison, looking for opportunities to contact the old Captain in prison, looking for the whereabouts of the Ming Emperor Yu Pei, once he got the Jade Pei, he could take over The Captain's criminal group and become the new Captain. Almost everyone did not expect that this seemingly elegant and cultivated psychiatrist was secretly doing some dirty things that were not visible, and his image of Sven scum was always wrapped up tightly.
Plot aside, the role of Hovwens is very impressive under the portrayal of Chen Mengqi, especially his opponent scene with Luo Fei is quite wonderful, from the initial calm and restrained psychiatrist to the cold-blooded perverted villain boss The huge transformation shows his natural acting skills with ease, which can be described as three points into the wood.
Although his role in the play is not as good as luo fei and Qin Xiaoman, under the double blessing of solid acting skills and handsome appearance, Chen Mengqi's performance skills in the villain role of Hovins are vividly displayed, not only did not cause many people to resent, but gained the love and pursuit of many audiences.
In "Taikoo God King", Chen Mengqi's performance is also remarkable, and the Ye family heir Ye Wufeng, who he plays, is also a cruel role that makes people hate their teeth but always can't do anything with him. Although he is talented and intelligent, his jealousy is very strong, and his personality is extreme, so he is particularly ruthless in everything he does.
In the face of the male protagonist Qin Wentian's cultivation and love have overtaken him, he is even more hateful, so he repeatedly wants to put him to death. So you can see in the play, from the beginning of this drama to the end, Chen Mengqi and Sheng Yilun have a lot of opponent plays, which can be described as full of points of view.
In order to revitalize the Ye family and become the hegemon of one side, Ye Wufeng can be described as unscrupulous. At first, on the one hand, with the regent at that time, the big patron, the Ye family's power was very stable in the dynasty, and on the other hand, he quietly colluded with the Dark Night Clan to crush the Qin family with their strength, and finally under his careful framing, the Qin family, which had been loyal for generations, was overthrown, and fortunately Qin Wentian survived.
However, Ye Wuque did not have a dead heart, or framed Qin Wentian one after another, and then provoked a conflict with the Jiuhuas, and at the same time secretly removed the Dark Night Clan, because the other party knew too many ugly things that he could not see, and it seemed that the Dark Night Clan was just a pawn for him to seize power.
At the same time that Ye Wuque is acting recklessly, the love and killing between him and Bai Qiuxue is also a major highlight of the play. In the eyes of outsiders, they are a couple, but in fact, both of them have their own intentions, on the one hand, Bai Qiuxue still has a good feeling for Qin Wentian, and privately also provides help to Qin Wentian, but gradually discovers all kinds of bad things that Ye Wuque has done to the Qin family and Qin Wentian, and she wants to retaliate against Ye Wuque, but the Bai family's influence in the dynasty is not strong, and she wants to use the Ye family to strengthen herself and the Bai family.
And Ye Wuque also had a purpose, on the surface he agreed to Bai Qiuxue's marriage, but in fact he just used Bai Qiuxue as a pawn. So after that, they not only accumulated deep contradictions, but also received due punishment. In the end, Ye Wuque died in the chaos of the Taigu Demon Sword, which could be described as a great pleasure.
Compared with the gentle and elegant Hovins, the role of Ye Wuque is very cold from beginning to end, and also shows his multi-facetedness, in front of the regent, he is extremely calm and restrained, and does not show his ambitions excessively; in front of his opponent Qin Wentian, he is proud of everything, never putting Qin Wentian in his eyes, and that lofty posture is displayed at a glance.
In front of the Dark Night Demon Emperor, he instantly let go of that high-minded posture and took the initiative to ask the other party for help, and the arrogance in his heart was put away; in front of Bai Qiuxue, he showed a look of no concern, and even sometimes showed a posture of pinching with her. I have to say that the villain role of Ye Wuque was portrayed by Chen Mengqi as flesh and blood, and once again received a lot of praise.
In fact, playing a villain role often tests the actor's acting skills, although the vast majority of villain roles are not pleasing, but there is still a lot of improvement in acting skills, and many actors are indeed popular by virtue of the villain role, such as Li Mingqi's role in "Huan Zhu Gege" played by Rong Mama deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, Sun Honglei's role in "Conquest" Liu Huaqiang is highly praised, Wang Yanlin's role in "Chu Qiao Biography" played by Yuwen Huai makes his reputation great, and so on. Although the villain Ye Wufeng portrayed by Chen Mengqi this time did not get much attention, his acting skills were obvious to all.
From the cold-blooded Hovens in "Gentleman Detective" to the high cold leaf in "Taikoo God King", chen Mengqi, a young actor who has only been debuting for 7 years after 90, can always play the villain so vividly, the future can be expected!
