The most popular TV series in 2023 is not the exciting crime drama "Crazy", nor the much-anticipated sci-fi drama "The Three-Body Problem", but an idyllic little fresh ---
"Go to the Windy Place"
Since its launch, the number of views of the show has exceeded 2.2 billion, and it has won the first place in the number of views for 18 consecutive days, and has received five-star praise in the comment area.
The Douban score is 8.2, which can be called one of the best domestic dramas in recent times.
The plot tells the story of the heroine Xu Hongdou (played by Liu Yifei) because of the sudden death of her best friend, resulting in a trough in her life and work, so she resigned and came to Dali to relax.
In the rented inn "Youfeng Xiaoyuan", Xu Hongdou met the male protagonist Xie Zhiyao (played by Li Xian), who resigned from Beijing and returned to his hometown to start a business, and a group of roommates with different encounters.
After getting along day after day, Xu Hongdou and Xie Zhiyao, who seemed impossible to be together, slowly developed feelings in the intersection.
The picture in the play is also beautiful and fresh.
After reading it, many migrant workers who live in the city all year round shouted "I want to find a similar place for three months."
In addition to the script and scenery, the outstanding performance of the actors is the quality assurance of the whole play.
In view of this, let's arrange the acting skills of six of the actors to see who is the real ceiling in your heart and who has brought unexpected surprises to the audience.
TOP6: Yao Anna
In the play, Xiaoqin played by Yao Anna is a rural girl with a simple mind, a little vanity, and loves beauty.
Xiaoqin likes the male protagonist Xie Zhiyao, so he is full of guard and hostility towards all the opposite sex around him.
For example: the male and female protagonists appear in the same frame for the first time.
Xiaoqin, who was looking at the stall, was more surprised and doubtful in his eyes than a loss of curiosity.
After determining that Xu Hongdou was not Xie Zhiyao's girlfriend, he cunningly planned to "pit" this passerby.
Ten pieces of slippers, she was stunned to ask for 25, and said that she did not make money.
The enthusiasm and sincerity on his face almost made people believe.
Her father asked Xie Zhiyao about work, and she thought that the two were getting married in Zhang Luo, and when they met, they asked with a happy face, "Did you propose a kiss"?
Caught up with the door to "force marriage", beautiful name to give Xie Zhiyao one last chance, but was ruthlessly refused, and had to find his own "forget it if you don't think about it".
Then angrily rolled his eyes and left.
For Yao Anna, who has been pampered since childhood and has no acting experience, the contrast between roles is a huge challenge for her.
Surprisingly, she not only grasped the essence of the character in the image, but also did not collapse in terms of lines and acting skills, although she was only a few supporting roles in the play, she interpreted a rural girl with low education and simple vanity vividly.
Under the background of a group of old drama bones with both strength and appearance, the fledgling Yao Anna did give the audience a surprise this time.
TOP5: Li Xian
Li Xian played the little sun in the world in the play this time.
Xie Zhiyao was a left-behind child who had a decent and well-paid job in Beijing after graduating from university, but he eventually resigned and returned to the countryside in order to develop tourism in his hometown.
Xie Zhiyao's main business is a businessman, usually running a series of businesses such as horse farms, online stores, and homestays, and his side business is a peacemaker and promotion ambassador in the village.
From neighborhood quarrels, young people looking for jobs, to things that can't be sold slowly, opening an online store to do live broadcasts, but all the trivial matters related to the village are Xie Zhiyao's concurrent scope.
Li Xian, who has departed from the hegemonic line, has obviously put a lot of effort into the role, and his acting skills are impressive.
On the outside, he is tall and handsome, fashionably dressed, but his skin is dark and slovenly, and he looks like a rural worker who has been favored by ultraviolet rays for many years.
Get along with your neighbors, always have a bright smile and a sunny face.
Never prevaricate when it's time to help, and have high emotional intelligence that is always online when it's time to shirk.
Facing grandma, naughty, cute, and a little childish.
Looking at Xu Hongdou's eyes, from the initial curiosity and appreciation, to the dodge and shyness in the middle, to the subsequent pulse with affection, the whole process seems to be light and breezy, but in fact, there is an undercurrent from time to time.
One of the few times Xie Zhiyao showed his feelings was that after the owner of the homestay ran away, he went to the horse farm to ride a horse.
At that moment, Xie Zhiyao, who has always been sunny and cheerful and accustomed to carrying things by himself, finally completely let down his guard and showed his vulnerability and powerlessness rarely exposed to the dark night sky.
This sudden outbreak after a long period of suppression is actually a special test of acting skills, if the fire is not enough, the audience will not feel the emotions of the characters, and after acting, it seems pompous and pretentious.
Li Xian's interpretation of Xie Zhiyao can be seen that he has put in a lot of effort to grasp the multi-faceted nature of a warm and kind young man with dual business online, which is impressive.
After this drama, I believe that fans will mention Li Xian in the future, and they will change their name to "current brother" instead of "current boyfriend".
TOP4: Liu Yifei
This is Liu Yifei's first modern drama since her debut.
The Xu Hongdou she plays in it is beautiful, sensual, has strong work ability, and has just the right amount of precaution for strangers.
Liu Yifei's interpretation of Xu Hongdou can be described in one word as "relaxed".
The crying scene after learning about his girlfriend's condition.
From bowing your head to calm your mood, to reaching out for a dish blankly, to burying your head in eating without knowing the taste.
There are no tears and crying, but the fear of the disease, the worry of the girlfriend, and the powerlessness of oneself are vividly displayed through the eyes and expressions.
Arrived in Dali.
Several half-truths and half-truths to the male protagonist, her reaction was from a clear rejection at the beginning, to non-committalism in the middle, to a gradual heartbeat in the follow-up.
In particular, the sweetness and shyness of this shocking glimpse is one of the few emotional exposures of Xu Hongdou in the play.
Let many viewers watch it and shout at the barrage to let them "get married in place".
Face strangers.
Xu Hongdou's sense of boundary is also clearly visible.
For example: Hu Youyu, played by Niu Junfeng, always wanted to add her WeChat at first.
The first time, she was expressionless and directly refused to say that "the phone is being repaired, and it can't be added."
The second time, the two were a little familiar, her words changed, and she seemed to smile and find an excuse "I haven't got the phone yet, I'll talk about it next time."
The softness of Xu Hongbean can only be stretched by those who meet the right ones.
For example: the same beloved grandma is very close to her.
The two cook together, nag, do crafts, play games, and sometimes know that they are being "routine" by grandma, and they will see through it in order to make the old man happy.
In front of grandma, the calm and rational red bean often unconsciously returns to her true nature and becomes a coquettish little girl next door in seconds.
In a light and breezy way, the rationality, concerns, and entanglements of an urban woman are just right, which is Liu Yifei's interpretation of Xu Hongdou.
At the same time, it is also her own strength.
As we all know, Liu Yifei has not had many TV series since her debut, but she can make every role deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, which is probably the best achievement and blessing between the character and the actor.
TOP3: Yang Kun
The name Yang Kun may not be familiar to many people at first glance, but when it comes to the film and television works she has participated in, you must know it.
Although many of them are supporting roles, they all make people have a memory.
Yang Kun is from Yunnan, and Aunt Gui, who plays in the play, is also a Dali native.
Aunt Gui is enthusiastic, gossipy, and a little vain.
The first time I saw Xu Hongdou, I pulled the root and asked the bottom, and I hated to check the person's household registration.
After laying the groundwork for a long time, I finally couldn't help but start showing my sons and daughters, after going to college in a foreign country, and buying a house, everything is good, but I can't go home once in a year and a half.
Her eyebrows fluttered and she looked sad and lost, like some strong and powerful aunts next door.
Nevertheless, Aunt Gui also has a philosophy of life of her own.
For example: she has been diligent all her life, especially unaccustomed to this group of idle "idlers" in the inn, and seizes the opportunity to "teach a lesson" to this gang.
Something like this---
People who live one day, they have to do things one day, and people of the same age as you in our village are in junior high school.
Usually think more about your family, if you are idle (not working), they can't be idle, you sit there all day, they have to be diligent.
What should I do if I don't work, don't do anything, and I'm hungry? It's too late to eat.
If you can't be a boss, you can work.
...... Wait a minute.
The face full of contempt and serious words makes people feel both heartfelt and reasonable.
That's the charm of a good actor.
No matter what type of role, they become the characters themselves, so that the audience can be quickly substituted in the process of chasing the drama and empathize with her.
TOP2: Tu Songyan
Tu Songyan is also a typical representative of "popular people are not popular".
Although he has played many deeply rooted roles, such as Li Yaping in "Double Sided Tape" and Li Haichao in "In the Name of the Family", many viewers still can't name him when they see him now.
Tu Songyan plays Ma Ye who is dedicated to "cultivating immortals" in the play.
People always sit and meditate in front of them (the beautiful name is called static braking), during which they do not eat after lunch, do not answer their mobile phones, and people cannot wake up.
As for the queen of people, peeping, drinking tea, gossip, everything does not fall.
Tu Songyan, who tried to grab the role of a horse for the first time, presented Ma Ye "comedic".
For example: Ma Ye in the play has a habitual action of ruffling his hair.
After a long time in the plot, everyone found out that the reason why Ma Ye ruffled his hair was that he hid a mobile phone in his collar, and he had to touch it from time to time to determine whether the mobile phone was lost.
Hu Youyu sang, he frowned again the whole time, and he was about to leave, only to say the word "disgust" in person.
When it was Nana's turn, he who had already got up instantly brightened his eyes, as if he had been enchanted by someone, followed by singing and singing and reconciling.
The director is also very interesting, and deliberately pulled this hilarious picture back and forth several times, allowing the audience to witness a large-scale double-standard scene in person.
Taught a lesson by Aunt Gui's insinuation.
He went from laughing at himself with an embarrassed look of "point me", to defending himself that "meditation is not good to eat and lazy, but to stop quietly", to finally applauding Aunt Gui.
During this period, all kinds of emotions such as chagrin, thinking, and touching were accurately expressed through his eyes, expressions, and small movements.
This is the legendary drama face, even if it is a challenge to a character that has never been tried, it can do what it is, and there is no sense of contradiction between the character and the character.
TOP1: Wu Yanshu
Teacher Wu Yanshu is 84 years old, and is one of the few old actors in the domestic film and television industry who is still active on the screen.
Also a golden supporting role, the old man has created many deeply rooted roles.
For example, the strong and optimistic old mother in "Mom", Grandma Nansun in "Golden Years", etc.
In this drama, the grandma played by Wu Yanshu is kind, kind, naughty, and a little temperamental.
For example: Grandma feels sorry for her little grandson Ah Yuan, and always thinks of leaving him something delicious.
After being punctured by the male protagonist A Yao, he not only did not admit it, but also chased Changsun to turn over old accounts.
Behind the unforgiving "scoundrels" is a kindness and love that cannot be dissolved.
In order to help Ah Yao chase the red beans, Grandma took the initiative to incarnate to assist.
Selling miserable complaints in front of red beans, detailing the hardships and difficulties of Ah Yao's entrepreneurship, speaking of emotions, he also cried and wiped tears, summoning tears and snot to come out to assist together.
The upward corners of the mouth, the exaggerated tone, and the cunning and a little naughty eyes blindfolded the red beans that have been crawling in the workplace for more than ten years.
When she heard about the hotel where Ah Yuan worked, the anxious grandma trotted all the way to find her grandson.
However, after the meeting, what greeted Ah Yuan was neither a hug from his grandmother nor comfort, but a sudden fat beating.
Chasing her grandson to the grandmother who is running around, the appearance of the dragon and tiger makes people not see a trace of seven old eighty at all.
If it's just these daily horse dramas, in fact, you can't see the acting skills of an actor.
But there are several scenes in the play that make Wu Yanshu emotionally explode, one of which is when she takes her children and grandchildren to worship Grandpa.
When her son and grandson left, the grandmother, who had nothing to do a second before, finally knelt in front of her husband's grave, sobbed and cried.
Year after year of helplessness, sadness, and grievances have all turned into this lonely and depressed tear.
There is no performance of opening and closing, no 360-degree long shot without dead angles, it is a simple reminiscence scene, but it makes many viewers wet their eyes.
This is also a performance characteristic of teacher Wu Yanshu, always exquisite, elegant, and even a little naughty, even in the event of a major change, it can be used to keep the role as elegant and dignified as possible.
Such a brilliant acting skill, ranked first, well-deserved.
The above is the acting ranking of the 6 actors in this drama.
Among them, there are old drama bones with both virtue and art, there are stable and steady strengths, there are Mesozoic generations with good strength and good appearance, and there are fledgling rising newcomers.
If you also happen to be some actors' acting fans, career fans, or face fans, and by the way, there is a dream of going to a distant place, then this hot, word-of-mouth healing small fresh drama is really the best choice for the Spring Festival file.
