The "balance" for 2022 is just over two months old.
Looking back on this year, the overall performance of domestic dramas was mediocre.
Although there are also explosive models like "The Beginning", "The World", "Menghualu" and "Police Honor".
But in terms of word of mouth, there is no real 9 points + divine drama ("Daughter of the Mountain" has a score of 9.3, but the audience is too small), which is regrettable.
In addition to regret, we are pleased that the male actors of the Chinese opera have "exploded" and brought impressive performances one after another, firmly capturing the attention of the audience.
Many dramas, although the quality is not satisfactory, but they are saved by the excellent performance of the actors, and we also know that watching dramas is not only about stories, but also about actors' performances.
Today Pige will take you to take stock of the 10 "most eye-catching" actors in these popular domestic dramas in 2022.
NO10: Jin Dong
Features: bottoming out
Representative works in 2022: "The Bottom Line", "Lin Shen Sees the Deer"
Jin Dong has been somewhat "unlucky" in the past two years.
The starring drama encountered all kinds of troubles.
A "Breakout" was cut to pieces, a "Infernal Affairs" could not be released, and a "Lin Shen Sees a Deer" was filmed into a middle-aged idol drama.
On top of the role, Jin Dong's drama path is almost dead, almost every drama is an acting, everyone has watched too much, really tired.
Everyone laughed and called Jin Dong an "old cadre," but in fact he was really an old cadre in reality.
At present, Jin Dong is the deputy head of the China Coal Mine Art Troupe, and he is at the level of deputy department, and with this identity, Jin Dong really does not need to break through so desperately.
Unexpectedly, in the recent "Bottom Line", Jin Dong really broke through himself.
The name of the show also seems to imply that Jin Dong has fallen near his bottom line, and it is time to bottom out and rebound.
The drama "Bottom Line" was directed and filmed by the Supreme Court, it is a main theme tribute drama, I originally thought that Jin Dong was acting according to the past and performed again, but I didn't expect that this time, he came to a small breakthrough.
In reality, he played a deputy department-level court president in the play, and some viewers laughed that this was the lowest-level official that Jin Dong had ever played.
Jin Dong, who was grounded, also burst out of the performance.
In the first few episodes, Jin Dong was possessed by an old fritters, deliberately using accents and drags when speaking, and played a grassroots cadre, which made people tolerate it.
When he really faced the case in the later stage, he immediately returned to seriousness, calm and solemn, his body was greasy but not greasy, and he completely lost the shadow of the previous domineering president.
"The Bottom Line" is a bottoming out of Jin Dong's work, as long as he is willing to step out of his comfort zone, it is a new world.
NO9: Pan Yueming
Features: After turning red, fatigue is fully revealed
2022 masterpieces: "New Home Covenant", "Kunlun Shrine"
Pan Yueming can attract attention, and more importantly, his story is extremely dramatic.
In the early years, he was a little fresh meat and married a fairy like Dong Jie, and everything went well, but everyone knew what happened later, and Pan Yueming's career was ruined.
In this unfavorable situation, Pan Yueming did not say half a bad word about his ex-wife, and returned to the public's vision through "Chasing the Murderer in the White Night", and the little fresh meat in the past has also become the current vicissitudes of the uncle.
After that, he took over the IP of "Ghost Blowing Lights", played Hu Bayi, and created his own "Ghost Blowing Lantern Series".
Unfortunately, Pan Yueming after turning red is already at the end of the strong crossbow, which can be seen from his figure.
When he was "Chasing the Murderer in the White Night", he could still be regarded as a handsome uncle, and now he is already a pot-bellied poop, and was ridiculed by the audience as "the oiliest and fattest and lewd" Hu Bayi, his figure, directly to play Wang Fat is not in discord.
This fatigue can be seen from his two dramas this year.
In "New Home Covenant", he and Wang Ou formed a CP, Pan Yueming and Wang Ou, who are out of shape, really have no sense of CP, and the two still have to talk about love in the play, and it is difficult for the audience to substitute.
In the latest "Kunlun Divine Palace", Pan Yueming is still obese.
This drama was filmed almost at the same time as the previous "Yunnan Worm Valley", so the figure problem that he has been criticized for has not been solved.
The most outstanding thing about the whole drama is the supporting role, and after the supporting role finishes the work, the excitement of the whole drama is greatly reduced.
So this drama Douban scored as high as 8.3 points, and now it has fallen to 7.1 points, and Pan Yueming, as the male number one, is to blame.
At present, the audience is still tolerant enough for Pan Yueming.
At the end of June, "Kunlun Shrine" has not yet been broadcast, and the next "Return to the Ruins of the South China Sea" has begun filming.
For Pan Yueming, the shape of the body is only the appearance, and the exhaustion of the mentality is the key.
I don't know if he can get out of this bottleneck and regain the lost spirit before the audience's patience is exhausted.
However, in the case of the weakness of most Chinese dramas this year, Pan Yueming can still rank in this top ten list compared to the acting performance of other male actors.
NO8: Chen Xiao
Features: "Mr. Almost" awakened.
2022 representative works: "Menghualu", "Ice, Rain and Fire", "Talk Well"
Chen Xiao is a handsome guy recognized in the entertainment industry, as long as he stands there, he is the focus of the audience.
But after Chen Xiao entered the entertainment industry, he slowly became "Mr. Almost"——
His appearance is somewhat similar to Nicholas Tse, but without Nicholas Tse's toughness;
His temperament is close to Leslie Cheung, but he does not have Leslie Cheung's experience;
His face was flawless, but too rounded to feel like it could hold things and leave people with no memory points.
Later, after Chen Xiao got married, it seemed that he was basically fixed: he had good looks, but he was older, he had acting skills, but not much, he had fans, but he couldn't go to the coffee table.
Many people feel that Chen Xiao has squandered that good face like this, but they didn't expect that in the past two years, this "Mr. Almost" began to change.
Judging from the appearance, he grew a beard, and his handsome face seemed to have more vicissitudes and connotations in an instant;
From the perspective of the drama, he has made bold attempts, such as the ancient puppet's "Menghualu", the crime-themed "Ice Rain and Fire", the political drama "Breakthrough", and the light comedy "Talk Well" have all tried, and the whole person has a new look.
In "Ice Rain and Fire", I even saw a little of Tony Leung's verve from his smile back.
This year is Chen Xiao's turning year, but it cannot be called an explosive year.
Although he has starred in a number of explosive dramas, more breakthroughs are still in the shape and acting skills, and he is still in that state of imminent charge.
But if we can stick to getting out of our comfort zone, we may wait for him to really explode.
After all, since Gu Tianle, it has been too difficult for us to wait for such a handsome face that makes men envious.
NO7: Summer rain
Features: Acting? It's just a play
2022 masterpieces: "My Heart Flying" and "Outside Court"
Among all the famous Mesozoic actors, Xia Yu is the one who has the least "gain and loss heart".
Huang Xiaoming has won the Golden Rooster Award twice, and every time he acts, he still has a strong spirit, wanting to prove himself;
Zhang Yicai has just ushered in his own spring, and every cell is working hard when acting;
Chen Kun occasionally goes to the Buddhist system to hike and meditate, but every time he comes back from a break, he also saves enough energy to act.
Only Xia Yu is an exception.
The ranking, fame and fortune in the circle seem to have nothing to do with him, not that his strength is not good, but that he has long taken the honor to the full.
Xia Yu is an actor who chases God to feed and eat.
Since "Sunny Day", he has shown acting skills beyond his peers, his performance traces are very faint and very relaxed, and at the age of 27, he gathered Venice, Singapore, Golden Horse, Golden Rooster and other actors, and has long become wantless.
When actors of the same age began to explode after 30, he lived the life of a retired grandfather, played a side hustle, and was proficient in skateboarding, magic, calligraphy, skiing, and almost every one of them at a professional level.
I remember watching a CCTV5 ski competition once, the commentator turned out to be Xia Yu, I was shocked on the spot, and later I checked the information and found that the person was already a veteran in this field.
For Xia Yu now, acting has become a side business, and he didn't think about impacting any actor in performance, and the whole state is "playing", and he is particularly relaxed as an audience.
He didn't act much this year, and a movie "My Heart Flew" tells the story of short track speed skating.
Xia Yu plays the coach in the film, and for a sports strongman like him, this role is almost natural.
In another drama "Out of Court", he played a judge of a criminal court, and Xia Yu in the play is wise and courageous, full of courage, which makes people look bloody.
Xia Yu is a proper winner in life, an actor is just a small piece of the puzzle, he tells us that there is not only one template for the success of a good actor.
NO6: Wang Xiao
Features: "Jack of all trades" in supporting roles
Representative works in 2022: "Fengqi Longxi", "Basic Law of Genius", "Big Examination"
There is an actor who always plays a supporting role, never picks a role, can play anything, there is him everywhere, like a dog skin plaster pasted in major film and television dramas, at first a little annoying, but after watching more, you will find that this is a treasure actor.
Wang Xiao is a typical representative.
Some viewers described Wang Xiao as "the kind of powerful actor who looks like him."
On the one hand, it is to ridicule Wang Xiao for not being amazing, and on the other hand, it is also to praise his excellent acting skills.
In fact, Wang Xiao is a typical second generation star, his mother Wang Fuli, is a household name actress in the 80s, very beautiful.
It's a pity that Wang Xiao failed to inherit his mother's good genes, grew up to be a passer-by, and once stayed away from the entertainment industry to study abroad for further study.
But after the age of 26, he suddenly got the hang of acting and resolutely resigned to become an actor.
As the second generation of stars, Wang Xiao's posture is really low, and his positioning is also very clear, that is, on the road of supporting roles, one road to the dark, over the years as his acting skills have become proficient, he has become a frequent guest in major film and television dramas.
For example, in "White Deer Plain", he played Bai Xiaowu, "Trident" as a criminal policeman, "Golden Years" as a golden collar, "Circuit Procuratorial Team" as a low-level person, and "Glorious Era" as a special agent.
His lines are excellent, and Yu Hewei, Lei Jiayin and other powerful actors are not left behind, but he will never be noisy, and the roles he plays will never be repeated, but each one is in place.
This year, Wang Xiao is even more full of firepower.
He has starred in popular dramas such as "Transcendence", "Fengqi Longxi", "Genius Basic Law", and "Big Examination", further confirming the identity of "supporting role in the golden oil".
Wang Xiao belongs to the director's favorite actor, with background, strength, low posture, good acting skills, no stealing scenes, and is a golden supporting role in national dramas.
The only thing we are curious about is when he can actually play the lead actor once.
NO5: Zhang Jiayi
Features: Elegant descent
2022 masterpieces: "Young Pie 2", "Battle in Shanghai"
Zhang Jiayi used to be the first brother of a national drama, whether it is Zhou Yi in "Cliff" or Bai Jiaxuan in "White Deer Plain", they are the kind of characters who experience big scenes.
But in the past two years, he obviously feels old, under the action of ankylosing spondylitis, he walks more and more sloppily, the white hair on his head is also increasing, and the role in the play has begun to change greatly.
In the past, he was a big patriarch and a big hero, but now he has become an old man, and "Mountain and Sea Love" is the best proof.
Fortunately, Zhang Jiayi has a "graceful descent" attitude, and his height at the top far exceeds that of others, and on the way down, it is still a peak that others cannot surpass for a while.
This year, it is obvious that his TV series production is less, and we only see one "Young Pi 2".
The real protagonist of this drama is actually Zhao Jinmai, who went from the ivory tower to the workplace, and the couple played by Zhang Jiayi and Yan Ni witnessed the growth of their daughter.
Although Zhang Jiayi has many scenes, the positioning of the role has completely changed.
In the past, he was the male number one, the biggest driving force of the plot, and now he has become a witness to the story, every word and deed, old age, but also a little more playful and cute accumulated over the years.
In the unaired "Battle in Shanghai", Zhang Jiayi played the role of Chen Yi for the first time, and he was matched by special actors such as Tang Guoqiang and Liu Jin.
Mentally speaking, he is close to the Buddhist system and his physical condition is not good, and his change of name from "Zhang Jiayi" to "Zhang Jiayi" is the best proof.
To play the familiar Marshal Chen Yi this time is definitely a particularly big challenge for Zhang Jiayi.
Stepping over this hill, it is likely that he will usher in another peak, if he can't cross it, then he can really only "turn into spring mud and protect flowers".
NO4: Liu Yijun
Features: The spokesperson of "Uncle Confucianism"
2022 masterpieces: "The Beginning", "The Daughter of the Mountain", "Zhang Weiguo's Summer"
Liu Yijun is a strange and familiar actor to us.
I remember watching "Modern Family" on CCTV Eight when I was a child, and he married a gentle Korean daughter-in-law in the play, which made people envious.
Liu Yijun looks elegant, a little bit of Leslie Cheung's taste, I thought it would be popular, but I didn't expect that later, he almost disappeared, and when he returned to the public eye again, he was already a middle-aged uncle.
Some people say that he offended people and was blocked, and some people say that his career plan is not smooth and he missed the golden opportunity for development.
But no matter what, he still came back, in addition to still being elegant, the acting skills of the whole person are also becoming more and more exquisite.
He has successively played well in boutique dramas such as "No War in Peiping", "The Pretender", and "Parental Love".
This year, Liu Yijun has found his positioning, that is, Uncle Confucianism.
Whether it is the policeman in "The Beginning", the secretary in "The Daughter of the Mountain", the cave-walking host in "Zhang Weiguo's Summer", or the informant in "Ice Rain and Fire", the roles are different and the personalities are very different, but Liu Yijun can always interpret his own taste.
For example, the policeman he played in "The Beginning" is particularly vivid, and the sense of oppression and vigilance that is not angry and arrogant when interrogating the protagonist makes the tension of the plot full, especially those subtle expressions when hearing key clues, without repetition, which is amazing.
For example, in "Zhang Weiguo's Summer", he actually played a greasy middle-aged man, but Liu Yijun used his elegant characteristics to neutralize it well, and the greasy feeling on the character, which made the whole role from worldly and sleek to a little philistine cute.
Looking at domestic dramas, in fact, there is a special lack of elegant uncle-type actors like Liu Yijun, and I hope that he will usher in the real bloom of his career after a long trough.
NO3: Cheng Yu
Features: "Routine operation" of old drama bones
2022 Masterpiece: "Punishment"
In the annual hit drama "Punishment", the old drama bone Cheng Yu plays the villain Zhao Xiaosheng, a "soil emperor" who calls for wind and rain in the local area.
He played this villain to the end, while doing murderous and overselling business, and on the other hand, he also did charity to disguise himself.
When his son was arrested, he made a phone call, embattled on all sides, still light and light, and that kind of calm and relaxed spirit was reminiscent of Zeng Zhiwei in "Infernal Affairs".
However, such a god-sealing performance can only be regarded as a routine operation for an old drama bone like Cheng Yu.
In "The Cliff", he played the image of Gao Bin, a gloomy and suspicious traitor;
In "No War in Peiping", he vividly interpreted the oily-mouthed and stubborn Ma Hansan, with these god backings, the god acting skills in "Punishment" were instantly "ordinary".
For Cheng Yu, he does not need the affirmation of the award, as early as the 2003 Feitian Award, Cheng Yu has proved himself.
At that time, those nominated by Emperor Shi were Li Baotian, Du Yulu, Gao Ming, Cheng Yu, Wang Gang, Zhang Guoli, Fan Wei, Zhao Benshan, Wang Zhiwen, and Fu Biao, each of whom was recognized by everyone as an old drama bone.
In the end, Cheng Yu and Li Baotian won the award at the same time, and it is enough to win in the era of "fairy fights".
Unfortunately, there are too few old drama bones that can fight with Cheng Yu now, so little that Cheng Yu's anger and anger are all famous scenes, which eclipse other actors around him in an instant.
NO2: Xin Baiqing
Features: Acting with "gas"
2022 masterpiece: "The World"
When Chen Kaige filmed "The Legend of the Demon Cat", he asked Xin Baiqing to play Li Bai.
He only had one request for Xin Baiqing: "You don't need to prepare anything, just play a grand and righteous performance, just do it."
Later, on the day of filming, Xin Baiqing wore a costume, and Chen Kaige looked at the current clapper: "No need to go to the scene, just shoot directly." ”
In the last 20 days of workload, Xin Baiqing only took 2 days to get it.
Chen Kaige watched his performance and kept saying: "This is Li Bai, he played too right." ”
For Xin Baiqing, if the gas is right, everything is right.
We often say that there is poetry and self-pride, which is obvious from Xin Baiqing.
He is a drama actor, and you only need to look at him to feel that he is a person who reads and exudes a literati temperament.
This breath can interpret Li Bai's ethereal, can interpret Wang Yangming's quest, can show the tenacity of the stranger, of course, playing a mayor Zhou Bingyi in "The World", is also handy.
The role of Zhou Bingyi is Xin Baiqing's "qi" and plays alive.
Whether it is the spirit of being admitted to Peking University in the early stage, or climbing the thin ice of the high branches in the later stage, and then the enthusiasm for returning to the light word piece, and the breath at the end of the death.
We can all feel the ups and downs of the characters between Xin Baiqing's breathing.
What impressed me the most were two scenes.
The first scene is that Zhou Bingyi mobilized everyone to relocate in the light word film, and the skill of that line is simply amazing.
The sentence "I am a person, the pursuit of perfection, but as long as I do my best, I can have a clear conscience and calmly accept imperfect results", which makes people's blood boil.
Zhou Bingyi was criticized by the audience for being too iron-faced and selfless in the early stage, but just because of this mobilization scene, many audiences regained a favorable impression of him.
The second scene is when Zhou Bingyi reunites with his old friend Yao Lisong after suffering from cancer.
Feng Lei, who plays Yao Lisong, is also a drama bone, but he obviously feels that he is playing an old man.
And look at Xin Baiqing, this look, this aura, tired but with a light breeze, is the image of a cadre who bows to the end in the hearts of the audience.
The starring of other old drama bones in this play is certainly wonderful, but Xin Baiqing's heavy sword is acting with no qi, which is a higher level.
NO1: Lei Jiayin
Features: Acting all depends on "loose", lines all rely on "editing"
2022 masterpieces: "The World", "Basic Law of Genius"
When "The World" was a hit this year, a crew member of the show broke the news on the Internet, saying that he had seen too many actors, and Lei Jiayin belonged to the genius class.
How does Lei Jiayin act on the scene?
He will also read the script carefully, but he will not memorize it by rote, he will only remember the general framework, and grasp the hearts of the characters and the context of the story.
The director asked him if he was familiar with the words, and Lei Jiayin always replied easily, I will make it up if it's okay.
As a result, after filming, he really made up lines many times, but the results were amazing, often shooting one or two to pass.
What is impressive is that in "The World", when Zhou's father died, Zhou Bingkun's family of five lay on the bed and played home, Lei Jiayin just improvised a word, he asked his father who is the best among the three children?
This sentence is not in the script, Lei Jiayin is like a catfish, the whole play, stirred up, the next few actors freestyle the whole time, this kind of unprepared performance, made many people cry.
Many people may think that Lei Jiayin makes up lines like this, which is against professional ethics.
For screenwriters, it is also a nightmare for actors to change their words on the spot, but in fact, Lei Jiayin's creative method is very advanced.
The late film master Godard was determined not to use the script, he only provided dramatic situations, and asked the actors to improvise dialogue.
He said that if the actor already knew what he was going to do, then it was not worth doing, and every scene was written down, so why shoot? If film and television dramas are just copying words, what is their charm?
Let's take a look at Lei Jiayin's experience, he was admitted to the theater with the second entrance examination in the country that year, and after graduation, he did not rush to the entertainment industry, but went to the Shanghai Repertory Theater to hone his acting skills.
This kind of improvisation is what he has tempered over and over again on the drama stage, so his lazy and ingenious way is a more advanced performance.
Under the blessing of this improvisational ability, Lei Jiayin's acting skills give people the feeling of relaxation, up to gentlemen, down to peddlers and pawns, he gives people a strong affinity.
In the previous "Heart Flower Road", the gangster he played came out of the circle with a sentence "I Nima";
And in last year's "Merit", he played nuclear physicist Yu Min, and the scene where he broke his thoughts in his dream made me cry.
Among the several dramas this year, there is no need to talk about good dramas such as "The World" and "Basic Law of Genius", and Lei Jiayin's performance is the icing on the cake.
Even the well-recognized bad drama "Meet the Season", the plot is very bloody.
But Lei Jiayin's interpretation is also familiar, the reason is that he can jump out of the plot, use his own understanding, write lyrics for the character, and can show his true feelings when performing, so Jian Hongcheng, this role can achieve "out of the sludge and not stained".
Recently, Lei Jiayin filmed Lao Jiuzi's "Manjiang Red".
His acting skills have been perfected, and the horror is that he is far from the top, and he is optimistic that he will become the first brother of national dramas in the future.
Well, the above are the top 10 eye-catching Chinese drama actors this year, who is the most attractive of these 10, tell Pige.
