CCTV's "Who is He" makes the actors' acting skills revealed, some can't catch the play, and some want to fast forward

The first blockbuster drama in 2023 is the anti-black drama "Crazy" starring Zhang Yi and Zhang Songwen. The popularity of this drama has brought the appeal of Emperor Zhang's works to a higher level.

The new drama "Who is He" launched by CCTV can set off widespread attention, and it is inseparable from the golden signboard of "starring Zhang Yi".

However, compared with ordinary themes, works such as "Who Is He" that test the actors' acting skills more easily expose the actors' acting skills. Especially in the case of gathering many treasure actors, the level of the actors is all contrasted.

The acting skills of powerful actors are online, and the aura is full

One of the best performers in "Who Is He" is Ding Yongdai, in the TV series "The World", he is a sensible and loving father, although he does not express much love for his relatives, but he shows his father's love like a mountain with actions.

And this time, Gu Weidong, played by Ding Yongdai, is completely different from Father Zhou in "The World". He is old and calm, as the chief of the police station, his aura is full and domineering. In the plot, Ding Yongdai's performance is even more vivid and delicate, interpreting the dual identities of the leader and the master.

For example, when teaching Song Zhe, the captain of the fourth team, Gu Weidong directly poked at Song Zhe's biggest weakness, indecisive and unassertive.

Ding Yongdai in this scene was full of firepower, and when he opened his mouth, it was like a machine gun, so that the opponent actor did not even have the breath to interject. At this moment, Ding Yongdai has both the aura of the bureau chief and the harshness of hating iron without steel. Through Ding Yongdai's performance, the role of Gu Weidong stood up at once.

In addition to Ding Yongdai, Qi Kui, who plays Song Zhe, and Zhao Yang, who plays the villain Nie Baohua, all have stable output, shaping the supporting roles more brilliantly than the protagonist.

It's just that compared with the shaping of the above actors, there are still some actors' acting skills that either can't catch the play, or make people want to fast forward.

The starring actors have overturned, and the supporting role performance is difficult to say

In fact, just by looking at the cast, the audience can realize that the heroine is a "heavenly thunder"-like existence. Clicking on the work, she really did not let the audience "down", and successfully stepped on the audience's thunder point with a pompous performance.

Chen Yudian, who plays Nie Xiaoyu, is not popular himself and has participated in many works, but he is still a newcomer face in the eyes of the audience.

In the play, she played Nie Xiaoyu is a survivor who escaped death, and the male protagonist Wei Guoping (played by Zhang Yi) rescued him from the hands of serial murderers, and then she bit Wei Guoping and became his loyal fan.

Judging from the story line of the characters alone, the setting of the lifesaver and the straight ball girl is very good, but Chen Yudian's acting skills are too pompous, and the crying scene is especially embarrassing, so that the audience can't knock off their teeth.

For example, at the beginning of the second episode, Nie Xiaoyu cried and pretended to be pitiful, and asked Wei Guoping "Old man, do you like me or not", when he said this sentence, Chen Yudian's face still had tear stains, but her crying scene was summed up as "hum and chirp", which could not see grievances or cuteness.

Wei Guoping, who was embarrassed, stumbled and turned away, and Zhang Yi took advantage of the image of a straight man and an old man who did not understand fun. Chen Yudian, who could take the play, couldn't catch Zhang Yi's play at all, and made a humming sound again, sitting on the stairs and rubbing his eyes vigorously.

We don't know if she wiped her tears or was blinded by the sand, in short, this kind of light thunder does not rain, only grinning crying scene, in the entire crying scene is "explosive" existence.

In the face of a young actor like Chen Yudian, Zhang Yi can cope with it freely. But as the emperor of sight, Zhang Yi's overall performance in "Who Is He" this time is really not as expected.

Some netizens bluntly said that "this is the first policeman played by Zhang Yi", "Zhang Yi's character is a bit similar to An Xin in "Crazy", and some netizens complained "how is Zhang Yi old ~ hey ~".

The fact is that Zhang Yi's current roles in the field of TV dramas have been completely homogenized. "The Gate of Rebirth", "Rage" and the new drama "Who Is He" are all police officers who are not close to women and are full of justice. Even Wei Guoping's state in "Who Is He" at different times is very consistent with An Xin's growth line in "Crazy".

For example, Wei Guoping was still a rookie in the early stage, with simple thoughts and simple ideas, and his eyes were all the same youth as when An Xin was young.

After Wei Guoping became a veteran criminal policeman, Zhang Yi's performance deliberately approached the direction of maturity and sophistication, and the direction of the performance was right, but it always gave people a deliberate emphasis on "brother's acting skills are not bulls". Tone words like "hey" are often used by Zhang Yi to create the casual side of the protagonist's image.

In other words, Zhang Yi's performance method and style have fallen into the trap of "acting everything is similar" because of too many similar roles. These police characters, without exception, all have shadows of each other, making people more and more impatient the more they look, and they just want to fast forward after watching for a long time.

Of course, in addition to Zhang Yi, there is also a supporting actor whose acting skills are difficult to say. She played the role of Wang Yiyao in "Qing Qing Daily". In this light comedy costume drama, Wang Yiyao does not have many scenes, but her image is bright and her acting skills are natural.

But this time in "Who Is He", Wang Yiyao's Baoli can be said to be quite pompous, and there are traces of excessive force.

In terms of character setting, the role of Baoli is the second sister-in-law. It's a pity that the sister-in-law in "Crazy" is quickly out of the circle with the blessing of Gao Ye's beauty and acting skills, but the bigwig mistress played by Wang Yiyao in "Who Is He" is simply a crazy shrew.

In fact, from the perspective of character setting, the role of Baoli is a typical beautiful beauty, but her makeup and styling are cheap everywhere, and she always has a vulgar and unprofessional feeling.

And her crying scene is a test of the audience's ability to accept it all the time. In the play, Wang Yiyao squinted her eyes, her face was hideous, she didn't shed tears for a long time, she could only see her facial features straining, and the close-up shots were not sad and painful, but more like constipation.

Obviously, Wang Yiyao is not highly compatible with the role of Baoli in appearance alone, but this drama also gives Baoli a lot of scenes, even if she is only a supporting role, it is enough to dissuade the audience.

All in all, the biggest problem with "Who Is He" at present is that Zhang Yi's performance is seriously homogenized, the acting skills of the heroine and the female partner are completely crotch-pulling, relying on the plot of this drama alone, "Who Is He" may become a hit, but there is no way to make some supporting roles popular like "Crazy".

Of course, the flaws currently displayed in "Who Is He" are only relative to the quality of the work. The plot is perfect enough to make the shaping of the actors especially important. If the actors of the follow-up "Who Is He" can integrate better with the characters, they may be able to collide with different sparks.
