Two drama-level actors playing on the same stage brings not only their tricks at the level of acting, but also because the roles they play are at both ends of the dividing line between love and law. This work is the contemporary reality TV series "Dividing Line" starring famous actors He Bing and Zhang Guoqiang.
"Dividing Line" by Pan Jun himself as a screenwriter and director, since August 1 in Jiangsu Satellite TV Happiness Theater began broadcasting, now the drama is more than half of the hit, the plot is also carried out to a white-hot degree, after all, from the setting of the story, the drama shows a complex human sophistication, the whole work is no longer a simple good and evil black and white, but uses a more universal philosophical "relativistic" point of view, to look at the world's human nature speculation:
A robbery case of a pawn shop has made huge waves in the small town, and as the layers of cases have been solved, countless people have been involved. It seems that everything is out of control, but everything is under control. After all, as the two most important parties in this case, Yu Chao, a policeman played by He Bing, and Ma Dongsheng, a water delivery worker played by Zhang Guoqiang, although there are essential opposites, there are too many similarities that make them feel sorry for each other. Therefore, how to grasp the scale of crime and punishment and how to grasp the measure of affection and law are particularly important.
"Dividing Line" has entered a fast-paced mode since the first episode, and in just a few shots, we can see the dilemma of the water delivery worker Ma Dongsheng: divorced from his wife, raised his daughter alone, and although he is only a water delivery worker, he is enthusiastic and upright and full of the enthusiasm of life. But this seemingly strong man collapsed in an instant after learning that his daughter had a tumor. Zhang Guoqiang in the play lets us see the image of a father who is still diligent and hardworking in middle age.
In a sense, the character played by Zhang Guoqiang is a difficult trek of fate, and the camera has repeatedly aimed at the picture of him staggering upwards with a bucket on his back, which not only carries the weight of a bucket of water, but also the burden and pressure of life. His slightly hunched figure also laid the groundwork for the later desperate risks.
Yu Chao, played by He Bing, is not only a policeman, but also a father. His son Yu Xiaogang and Ma Dongsheng's daughter Ma Jin are still classmates, which also invisibly allows Ma Dongsheng and Yu Chao to have more connections from the child's parental identity, as well as mutual recognition of fatherhood. However, in the family relationship, He Bing and Ma Dongsheng are completely different personality attitudes, one is serious and tough, the other is careful and euphemistic, which is not different from each other's boys and girls, but also because their respective dispositions are also very different.
At work, he always folded his hands, gently rubbing the back of his hand with the thumb of the other. He shows people with a smiley face, but as soon as the other party withdraws from sight, he will immediately put away his smile and fall into contemplation, this "sense of seriousness", yu Chao's professional habits, is also a portrayal of his calm personality.
From this point of view, look at the roles of He Bing and Zhang Guoqiang, one is always just and upright, one is hidden and after the outbreak, when face to face, one is always jealous of temptation, one is trying to evade cover-up, although the pawn shop robbery case is a "clear card", all the audience knows the ins and outs, but when the two of them face each other, there are still too many unknowns, which brings a strong plot tension to the whole work.
The same is true of the rivalry between the two, which seems to be a light and breezy surface, but it is difficult to hide the turmoil in the heart. When a good actor faces such a role and plot, he is not only limited to body language and facial micro-expressions, but also conquers the audience with more inner drama.
It is said that in the preparation stage, the roles of He Bing and Zhang Guoqiang were reversed compared with the later real shooting. That is to say, He Bing was originally invited to play the role of Ma Dongsheng, and Zhang Guoqiang played the role of a policeman, but later the two felt that perhaps the other's role had more room for expansion, and only then did they have the current role arrangement. In fact, for a good actor like them, no matter which role they play, it will not disappoint, after all, they can be caught.
Nowadays, watching "Dividing Line" can also be clearly felt that like He Bing and Zhang Guoqiang, film and television actors who have come out of the drama stage, whether it is physical performance or line skills, are impeccable, and it is easy to achieve "a thousand faces", and their appearance this time allows us to see more truth and excitement from small people.
In the plot that has just been broadcast, although the case has not yet been solved, but the context has become clearer and clearer, the "long tail" effect caused by the case is also gradually emerging, after all, the black notebook that was robbed with money and wealth hides more amazing secrets, with the deepening of the plot, the elements related to anti-corruption and anti-drug are also constantly emerging, we often say that "a stone stirs up a thousand waves", and now in "Dividing Line", Ma Dongsheng is forced to take a desperate robbery crime after helplessness. It does reveal the inside story of a crime behind it.
In general, the drama "Dividing Line", which is being broadcast on Jiangsu Satellite TV, is definitely beyond expectations, but also beyond expectations, the longer it is chased, the more thrilling the plot, and it is also believed that the last moment of closing the net must be a big happy moment. Of course, when I was chasing the drama, we should not forget the original intention of the main creative team to shoot this work, which is to tell us at all times that there has always been a dividing line of the right way in the world, which is also the criterion that everyone must defend in their hearts.
