Undoubtedly, "The Long Season", which gave 9.4 points from 480,000 viewers, has become the biggest dark horse this year, and although many high-quality dramas will be launched in the future, it is not easy to win such a rating.
"The Long Season" can be successful, the cast, the strength of the main creative team, and the advantages of the theme are indispensable.
Xin Shuang is good at suspense works, the success of "Hidden Corner" has proved his directing ability, and among the actors he chose this time, Qin Hao, as one of the male protagonists, has collaborated with him in "Hidden Corner", and the other actors also have no traffic, almost all of them are powerful people of all ages.
There is also a popular suspense theme, which has a higher degree of attention, and it is with these that "The Long Season" is really out of the circle.
However, after watching this drama, I believe that everyone has a deep feeling for the level of the main creator and the advantages of the theme, and the most memorable is the acting skills of the actors in the play.
Among the three leading actors, Qin Hao's sense of contrast is the strongest, Chen Minghao plays steadily, and it is Fan Wei who can really be called the "needle of the sea god" of the whole drama. It turns out that the 60-year-old Fan Wei has gone further and further down the path of another "smart person".
"The Long Season" is a god, and Fan Wei has made a great contribution
Although "The Long Season" mainly portrays three male characters, the most tragic and distressing is Wang Xiang, played by Fan Wei.
He played this role realistically enough, so that the audience can empathize with the experience of the characters in the process of chasing the drama, whether they see him 18 years ago or 18 years later.
18 years ago, Wang Xiang was interpreted by Fan Wei with a rather machismo sense of déjà vu, he has always been picky and selective about his family, and he is nosy when he goes out, coupled with his long working experience, he is highly respected, and he always loves to carry a shelf.
And 18 years later, Wang Xiang completely changed his personality after experiencing the pain of losing his wife and son, he portrayed an old man of the opposite sex looking for the truth as stubborn and sad, while tracking down the murderer with his own meager strength, while living a down-to-earth life, successfully landing the character on the ground.
With the development of the plot, by the finale, Fan Wei's acting skills completely exploded, and when he learned that the truth of his son's death was to save Shen Mo, who jumped into the river, and sacrificed himself, he completely let go of the past knot, and his eyes were confused to let go of everything, but there was also relaxation after tension.
Watching Fan Wei slump his back and walk on the bridge where his son died without strength, at that moment he really said that he had worked hard to find the truth for so many years.
But when he knew everything, looked up at the sky, and showed a calm but bitter smile, he had already transmitted all the emotions of the characters to the audience.
At that moment, Wang Xiang, played by Fan Wei, let go of his obsession and spent the long season in his heart.
He knows that his son is not a murderer, and he also knows that his son is seeing righteousness and courage to do good deeds, not a single line, but a smile makes people's hearts tremble.
In addition to this kind of acting highlight moment, when Fan Wei plays Wang Xiang in the play, he can make the audience feel that the character is close to the ground all the time.
Whether it is he holding an old and old cup to drink water, or refusing the pursuit of others because he can't get over the hurdle in his heart, or when he plucks up the courage to confess but is preempted by others, Wang Xiang is more like a real living character in real life.
It can be said that in a big drama like "The Long Season", it is the actor's acting skills that test the most, not this drama has achieved Fan Wei, but Wang Xiang, played by Fan Wei, has raised the overall standard and texture of this drama.
If Wang Xiang, as the main character, can't stand still, it is conceivable that "The Long Season" will not become a masterpiece in the Chinese drama market.
With accurate vision and strong strength, the road to the actor still needs to be sober
However, in a sense, it is not surprising that Fan Wei can have such a brilliant performance, and even before the play starts, the audience has predicted his performance.
Because Fan Wei is a first-class actor recognized by the state, and he is also a performance artist in the hearts of countless audiences, since his debut, Fan Wei has long been soft-handed in various awards.
But Fan Wei is different from other powerful actors, and it can be seen from the many works he chooses, whether it is a supporting role or a protagonist, almost no one will choose bad dramas and bad movies in order to make money.
Before "The Long Season", Fan Wei also starred in a suspense drama "Ligong Northeast Old Things".
This drama focuses on suspense, but incorporates elements of comedy, and Fan Wei plays an ordinary security department worker in the play, in order to have a more decent job, he is dedicated to meritorious service.
In this drama, Fan Wei gave full play to his comedy strength, and the behavior of the characters was obviously ordinary, but it was a little more joyful to be played by Fan Wei.
For example, he went with his relatives to catch bad guys, shouted from afar, looked very imposing, but the action of shrinking his head showed that he was not bold.
Fan Wei grinned as he watched his relatives being beaten, needless to say, he knew how badly his relatives were beaten, which not only conveyed the content that the audience could not see in body language and expressions, but also showed the characteristics of the characters who could say what they could say, but were actually cowardly.
This "Ligong Northeast Old Things" and "Long Season" were broadcast on the front and back, although the reputation was not as good as the latter, but it also scored 7.5.
Although there are actors such as Yu Nan and Pan Binlong in this drama, it is Fan Wei who really singles out the beam, and without him, this drama still can't get such a rating.
And Zhu Fangzheng in "Broken Bridge" and Lao Wang in "Railway Heroes" are completely different images, in just a few years, Fan Wei not only produced a large amount of works, but also chose roles that are not the same, he has proved his ability to the audience again and again.
I have to say that such a actor can be convinced by everyone, perhaps in the eyes of many people, Fan Wei became popular because of Zhao Benshan, at that time, under the leadership of Zhao Benshan, he not only frequently appeared on the stage of the CCTV Spring Festival Gala to perform sketches, but also starred in Zhao Benshan's TV series.
For someone else, he lost his direction after leaving Zhao Benshan, and it is very likely that the glory will become yesterday's blip.
But Fan Wei has become a movie star step by step with his own strength, and while performing comedy, he also tries various types of works, never being bound by the theme or character type, and has become a well-deserved old drama bone in a low-key manner.
Not all actors are as sober as Fan Wei, and not all middle-aged actors are worthy of an old drama bone, the path chosen by Fan Wei must be supported by strength, and he is required not to forget his original intention and always adhere to it.
I believe that after "The Long Season", the "smart" Fan Wei will still be able to hand over high-quality works and go further and further on the road of actor!
So, which of Fan Wei's works do you remember the most?
