2023 can be said to be the first year of criminal investigation dramas, before Zhang Songwen's "Crazy" is popular on the whole network, the popularity is close to "The World", and then Zhang translated "Who is He" Douban score 8.2 continues to lead.
In addition to these two dramas, the online drama "Echo" starring Song Jia and Wang Yang also achieved good results, and its reputation remained above average until the end, surpassing other online dramas broadcast in the same time period, and ranking in the top three in terms of click-through rate on various platforms.
A good work in addition to the plot itself is rich in content, the second most important thing is the actor's acting skills, it can be said that if the actors in the play have good acting skills, they can directly bring a work to fire, if the acting skills are not good, how the plot ups and downs The audience will also have a sense of discord, it is difficult to substitute.
The male and female protagonists of "Echo" are Song Jia and Wang Yang, the strength of the two needless to say, after all, they are both recognized "powerful" actors, and have also contributed a lot of excellent works to give back to fans. And supporting roles such as Bao Bell, Wu You, Zhu Yuchen, etc., although the acting skills may not be as good as the protagonist, but at least they have met the audience's expectations, and the performance in the play and the fit of the characters are very high.
It is worth mentioning that "Echo" is an emotional suspense drama directed by Feng Xiaogang, although it is only 13 short episodes, he specially invited many actors to help. In addition to the protagonists and main supporting roles who have more roles in the play, Dong Jie, Zhang Guoli, Xu Fan, Zhang Jiayi and Huang Xuan also came to make cameos in the play.
On the surface, it seems to be a fully powerful crew, but not every actor is satisfactory, such as Wang Jun, the actor who plays Wang Bureau in the play, he caused a lot of controversy as soon as he appeared, and once appeared on Weibo hot search and was judged by the public. Some netizens said: "It's hard for Wang Bureau not to make me suspect that I brought capital into the group", "This acting is too bad, it's ugly", "This is Feng Xiaogang's Beijing buddy", "There is no police temperament at all".
The outside world's evaluation of Feng Xiaogang is mixed, but as an experienced director, it is impossible for him not to distinguish between good and bad actors, and he has never heard of his low requirements for actors, and even very high aesthetics, such as Miao Miao in "Fang Hua" and Xu Qing in "Old Cannon", are actresses with special personal characteristics, and their acting skills are not said, so Wang Jun can star in this drama to make people suspect that it is normal to "go through the back door".
So what is Wang Jun's performance in this drama? What kind of talent can make netizens complain all the time?
First of all, speaking of personal image, Wang Jun's height is short among the male actors in the circle, and Song Jia is nearly half a head away from standing together, not to mention standing with other tall male actors, knowing that size directly affects the aura, and the only one who is not tall but has a strong aura is Qu Xiaoxiao played by Wang Ziwen in "Ode to Joy".
In fact, Wang Jun's appearance is still in the past, at least not ugly to the extreme, but it always gives people a feeling of "fake seriousness", very much like a corrupt official who makes big moves behind his back under the slogan of clean government.
Speaking of actor acting skills, Wang Jun playing a bureau chief itself is not angry and self-threatening, as an old criminal police officer standing in front of young people must have an aura, in front of subordinates must also show leadership style, for example, Ding Daiyong in "Who is He" is very graphic.
But Wang Jun's performance always has a sense of promise, completely without the courage of a big person, and the line performance is also indecisive, the originally strong side has made him weak, God is not like the shape, not even the most basic expressive.
The policemen in the audience's impression are all sitting and standing, although not completely but similar, but Wang Jun sitting in the office looks casual and dense, looking like a social idler who has nothing to do, a kind of "small citizen style" rushes to the face, there is no police integrity at all, even the decadent policeman Wei Guoping played by Zhang Yi in "Who is He" next door has a sense of justice than him.
And Wang Jun's line skills are particularly poor, it seems that he has not undergone professional training, not only stumbling and incoherent speech, but also has problems in biting the syllables, light accents and other aspects of the chewing words, it is estimated that there are no subtitles do not know what he is saying, or there is no emotion when speaking, or the expression is too rich to lead to excessive force, and the audience looks particularly embarrassed.
Fortunately, Wang Jun does not have many roles in the play, and his presence does not affect the development of the main characters, except for Song Jia who occasionally has rivalry with him, others are not affected at all. If he really starred in an important role, the consequences can be imagined, and I am afraid that he can make the audience abandon the drama with his own strength.
epilogue
"Echo" is a good criminal investigation drama, no one doubts, but whether Feng Xiaogang is a good director in this drama is not certain. Taking the back door in terms of selecting people is indeed out of standard!
What do you think of Wang Jun's acting skills?
