Among the unhandsome stars, Tomato Jun only serves two, one is Wang Baoqiang and the other is Huang Bo.
In 2006, the former bar singer Huang Bo jumped into the ranks of first-line movie stars because of the fire of "Crazy Stone".
Since then, Huang Bo has gone from grassroots to star, and the road to fame is the same as Wang Baoqiang.
A "Bullfight" won the actor, justifying Huang Bo's acting skills.
In 2012, Huang Bo became a real box office elixir, "Tai Yan" 1.266 billion, "Journey to the West: Demon" 1.246 billion, "Heart Flower Road" 1.1 billion, "Dragon Hunting" 1.6 billion...
Wang Baoqiang's first work hit the street after entering the director's circle, but Huang Bo made great progress, and his self-directed and self-acted "A Good Show" won 1.355 billion box office, and it was in the limelight for a while.
I don't know if you have found it, Huang Bo, who has been popular in the film industry and frequently produced good works, has slowly disappeared on the big screen in recent years, and has also acted in TV series.
Unlike his cameo appearance in "North and South", since "Once Upon a Time in Qingdao" in 2015, his TV series has come again -
The Right Way to Open Your Life
Just two days after broadcasting, Golden Satellite TV's ratings even took two seconds.
Huang Bo's appeal has always been there.
In the gap between "The Three-Body Problem", "Go to the Windy Place" and "Crazy", why did this life drama grab such high ratings?
In Tomato Jun's view, three characteristics determine its popularity and popularity.
Feature 1, the middle-aged tangled man played by Huang Bo is too fun
The so-called "The Right Way to Open Life" is about Bian Liang, played by Huang Bo, who is entering middle age and encounters the troubles of unemployment crisis, family crisis and pension crisis.
In Chinese dramas, this is almost the standard for middle-aged men, but under Huang Bo's interpretation, even the crisis itself has become particularly fun.
In three different crises, the three states presented by Huang Bo interpreted Bian Liang, a forty-two-year-old middle-aged man, into three points.
First, career crises are full of embarrassment.
Bian Liang, a manager of a car sales group, turned 42 and finally got the opportunity to be promoted to deputy general manager.
Knowing that he was about to be promoted and raised, Bian Liang gritted his teeth and stomped his foot and bought a large duplex house.
Although the house is very nice, the loan pressure is also very high.
Especially for the future of his son, he also wants to send his son to study abroad, all factors add up, so that Bian Liang's life does not have the slightest tolerance rate of accidents.
I thought that this was just an appointment to the vice president, but I didn't expect an accident.
Bian Liang, who had just gone out, was very unhappy, because a luxury car blocked his way.
Originally, his promotion meeting was about to be held, and the evaluation experts from the group had already arrived at the company, but he was not seen.
It turned out that Bian Liang was still in the basement, moving the car.
Under Huang Bo's interpretation, the embarrassment of a middle-aged man almost overflowed the screen.
When you arrive at the company, this nervous look looks like you are late for a meeting.
Step by step and turn around, look left and right, and only then do you know that the meeting is over.
What was originally an appointment to him turned into an evaluation of him, but the meeting did not come, and he may not even be able to keep his current position as a manager.
Second, the marriage crisis, embarrassment overflowed the screen
You may not be able to imagine who this assessment officer sent by the group is.
The first time Bian Liang saw it, he was also stunned.
This person is none other than Dongxiao (Zhu Zhu).
Twenty years ago, when they were in college, Dongxiao and Bian Liang were classmates and boyfriend and girlfriend.
But by mistake, Dongxiao went abroad to study, and Bian Liang did not find her, and the two broke off contact.
Unexpectedly, twenty years later, Dongxiao reappeared in his life as his top boss.
This is not to mention, Dongxiao seems to have come with a purpose, and it is the purpose of the whole side of light.
Dongxiao, who has a successful career, is still single, and Bian Liang is close to her, and she is almost poked through.
And in front of Dongxiao, Bian Liang was like a half-old child, and Dongxiao's sharp eyes seemed to be able to see through all his careful thoughts at a glance.
At this time, Bian Liang, played by Huang Bo, can be said to have played the embarrassment of meeting his ex-girlfriend by chance, overflowing the screen, and even Tomato Jun saw it with his toes on the ground.
In order to touch the bottom of Dongxiao, Bian Liang found his old classmate Yu Guang and asked him to save up a meal, but he pretended not to know.
Dongxiao, who was outside the door of Bian Liang, sent a message to ask if Bian Liang was going, and wanted to sit in Bianliang's car.
In order to avoid suspicion, Bian Liang lied that he was outside, he didn't know that his little Jiujiu had all leaked stuffing in front of Dongxiao's eyes.
The grinning Bian Liang couldn't think of a way, so he could only lie that he was not in the company.
As a result, the lie was exposed by Dongxiao on the spot.
At that moment, the pierced edge was bright, and I couldn't wait to find a crack to drill down.
The panic of being at a loss, the panic of subordinates seeing their superiors, and the embarrassment of air solidification have become the fullness of the characters and the tension of the story in Huang Bo's expression.
I am most afraid that the air will suddenly be quiet, and Huang Bo at this moment, does it remind you of a certain embarrassment that you lied and was exposed.
Bian Liang didn't know that this was just the beginning.
Perhaps in order to make Bian Liang completely embarrassed, he couldn't raise his head in the company, Dongxiao took him to try on the wedding dress.
Dongxiao told him that he was just acting as a personal meat hanger because her boyfriend was too busy to have time.
As a result, after taking the photo,
Their wedding photos appeared on the wall outside the wedding photo studio.
And in an instant, it spread throughout the company, even his top boss knew about it.
Bian Liang, who was busy explaining in front of his superior, also asked Dongxiao to remove him from the wall.
But the condition put forward by Dongxiao was to let him leave.
You know, Bian Liang has a family and a son, and now his wedding photos with other women are flying all over the sky, if his wife knows, she won't divorce?
The moment Huang Bo saw his wedding photo, the frozen expression, like the black skin in "Crazy Stone", returned.
Third, family crises are dilemma.
Career and relationship problems naturally extend to the family.
Before the problem of chicken feathers was dealt with, a new moth appeared.
The wife found a study abroad agency for her son, but was cheated of 1 million, the job was almost gone, and the pressure of the mortgage was great, and the supply was almost cut off.
At this juncture, the wife accidentally revealed the matter of cheating 1 million to the mother-in-law.
And Bian Liang's father happened to find Bian Liang and Zhu Zhu talking about things in the playground, and followed and filmed it.
Not only that, but during the shooting, I accidentally sprained my neck.
Afterwards, the mother-in-law and father got together.
One, in an accusation of defrauded money; One, in the number of sons "cheating".
Twitter, noisy and buzzing.
Old trouble, small toss, and unconscious in the middle.
Huang Bo played a middle-aged man, full of embarrassment, embarrassment and dilemma.
Although it is the middle class in the city, it is more or less realistic when encountering this mid-life crisis.
Children's education, parents' pension, couple's conflicts, work pressure... There is no peace of mind.
And the middle-aged man caught in these four difficulties is handed over to Huang Bo to play, which is very appropriate.
Because only he can make this dilemma have an extra layer of humorous filters, can make this embarrassment, look relaxed and happy, and a little thought-provoking.
Feature 2: More than 10 actors sit down, their acting skills are enjoyable, and the drama is good-looking
In addition to Huang Bo, "The Right Way to Open Life" almost gathers our common familiar faces.
In the Bian Liang family, almost moved the "Mozart in Outer Space" family intact.
Mei Ting, who plays her mother, is second to none.
In the play, she played Bian Liang's wife Fu Xintong, and after playing Liao Suifang in "The Daughter Who Came Back", Mei Ting finally played a good wife and mother this time.
As a housewife, she thinks about her son, keeps the house in order, takes care of the elderly, and is considerate of her husband and housework.
She speaks softly and amiably, leaving the suspense drama, she is still very feminine.
Secondly, it is Dongxiao played by Zhu Zhu, who always has the strength and sassiness of a middle-aged elite woman.
Although she has experienced the betrayal of love, after Qianfan, she can still find Bian Liang, use her own methods to renew the frontier, plus "revenge", in Dongxiao, this is more or less a "cool drama" of female revenge.
After that, there was Wang Zhifei.
In this drama, he plays Bian Liang's boss, dyed with curly hair, but looks very amiable.
Especially the part of the wedding photo that spit on Bian Liang, driven by Huang Bo, Wang Zhifei even has a bit of humor, which is very funny.
and Rong Zishan, who once played father and son with Huang Bo in "Mozart in Outer Space".
In addition, several common old drama bones have also appeared in the play.
For example, Han Tongsheng, who played Li Youtian in "Crazy";
For example, uncrowned who played the evil mother-in-law in many TV series such as "Home of the Heart";
Another example is Tian Yu, Liu Jia, Ding Jiali, Liu Hua and so on.
The joining of more than 10 powerful actors has given "The Right Way to Open Life" the confidence to truly become a hit.
Feature three, light comedy + mid-life crisis, slow pace + pyrotechnics, life drama has a sample since then
In fact, urban emotional ethics dramas have always been a popular genre.
Because these dramas look relaxed, not brain-burning, small humor and little wit can make everyone laugh, and at the same time have thoughts about life and life.
But this kind of drama is not easy to shoot, some are superficial, some are too suspended, and some so-called "crises" are actually moaning without disease.
But this "The Right Way to Open Life" is relaxed and realistic, shooting the two characteristics that life dramas should have.
One is pyrotechnics.
Tomato Jun has a deep impression, is as the boss of Bian Liang and Dongxiao, dinner should go to a high-end place, did not expect to save a bureau, it turned out to be a roadside barbecue stall.
To be honest, the filter at that moment made us feel the fireworks of life.
In the face of his rebellious son, Bian Liang has no good way, he can only run four kilometers in the middle of the night to prove that he is better than his son, and he is right.
As a result, after his son came home exhausted, he forced himself to turn a corner and immediately collapsed.
Although Huang Bo, who is tired of emojis, looks a little cute, but in this, it is not his father's bitterness.
Suppressed by the company during the day, his wife was cheated out of money when he went home, and he had to run in the middle of the night to educate his son, the embarrassment of a middle-aged man, this did not come out.
And this kind of busyness, different from the exquisite petty bourgeois in other dramas, is also different from the overlord of workplace dramas, because it is really close to reality and life.
The second is slow pace.
Like "Go to the Windy Place", the pace of this drama is not fast.
In the first six episodes, it also threw out a lot of chicken feathers and various problems in Bian Liang's life, although they are all troubles, but there seems to be no irreconcilable contradiction, let alone a rhythm point that requires life and death to detonate the audience's emotions.
In fact, not dog blood should also be the basic quality of urban life dramas.
We watch dramas, how much it is real, sometimes the triviality of a place, in order to bring into ourselves, sometimes the warm rhythm, in order to leave enough space for thinking.
For us, Bian Liang's life is the same as ours, it is to open a blind box.
Today, I change leadership, and tomorrow I face resignation.
Today the ex-girlfriend makes trouble, tomorrow the son rebels.
Either the parents are sick, or the children are naughty.
Isn't life slowly moving forward in such a small accident?
Nine times out of ten, there is no perfect middle age, only middle-aged people who work hard.
However, after recognizing the truth of life, he still loves it, isn't this the meaning of this show.
Although life is bitter, there are always some things that are sweet, and this taste needs to be found out by ourselves.
And chasing this drama may give you new insights.
