In Chinese dramas, there is a theme that has experienced ups and downs like riding a roller coaster, that is, urban dramas.
As a big hit in the market, urban dramas have emerged many excellent works because the theme is close to life.
Earlier ones included "Addiction", "Beijinger in New York", "Carry Love to the End", and more recently, "Ode to Joy" and "Thirty Only".
As the competitiveness of major themes becomes stronger, urban dramas have gradually extended from the workplace and idols to women's topics and social topics, with many highlights.
However, in the past two years, urban dramas have gradually declined in word of mouth because of suspension, dog blood, and too Mary Sue.
Even "Lin Shen Sees the Deer" starring Jin Dong and "Even if the Wind Rises" have hit the street one after another, and Zhong Hanliang and Li Xiaoran's "With You in This Life" also made many people abandon the drama in the later stage, is it really not good for urban dramas?
Don't worry, 2023 seems to be the year of the rise of urban dramas, and a "Ordinary Road" scored a good score of 7.1 points on Douban.
In the drama to be broadcast, there are also "The Sun Accompanies Me" starring Xiao Zhan and Bai Baihe and "Little Day" starring Chen Xiao and Tong Yao, which really whets the audience's appetite.
And did not wait for the above two dramas, but first waited for Li Xiaoran's another urban drama "Just Meet You", which is scheduled to be broadcast online at Goose Factory from May 20.
The director of "Qing Yu Nian" Gao Han personally operated, in addition to Li Xiaoran, there are dozens of heavyweight coffees such as Tong Liya, Hui Yinghong, Wu Jinyan, Jing Tian, Zeng Shunxi and so on.
It is no exaggeration to say that this lineup is also top in the national drama circle.
After reading the trailer, I went directly into the pit, but I didn't expect that in the 520 festival, I happened to meet this new work on the ceiling of this urban drama, and it's a pity not to chase it.
With traditional culture as the background, the drama version of "National Treasure" is here!
"Just Met You" looks at the name, does it think that it is another urban idol drama?
In fact, this "you" should refer to the witness of history - intangible cultural heritage.
This drama tells the story of a variety show team centered on literary choreographer Yu Zaizao (played by Zhang Nan), young cultural relics expert Tao Tang (played by Zhang Bo), and gold medal host Wang Xining (played by Li Xiaoran), who created a cultural TV program in order to promote traditional Chinese culture.
In fact, the door between traditional culture and film and television media has long been opened.
After the variety show "National Treasure" was launched in 2017, it was well received, deeply attracting the audience from the concept to the form, and the score of 9 points in three seasons of Douban shows how popular it is.
So do you want to see the story behind the scenes of cultural variety shows?
This new drama "Just Meeting You" is actually a bit like the drama version of "National Treasure".
There is also a variety show related to traditional culture in the play, which focuses the camera on the production process in front of and behind the scenes, while highlighting the charm of intangible cultural heritage.
The strong atmosphere of the main theme is undoubtedly the "killer app" of this drama.
However, if this kind of theme is to be wonderful and of excellent quality, the requirements for the director are higher.
And Gao Han once co-directed "Qing Yu Nian" and also participated in the creation of "Gold Fan Family", and his strength is worthy of the audience's peace of mind.
What is more eye-catching is that because this drama is produced by the company, Huanyu Film and Television has always been the industry representative of "film and television + intangible cultural heritage", and the exquisite service in works such as "Yanxi Raiders" also helps the spread of intangible cultural heritage.
From the trailer, you can see the aesthetic taste of this drama, the antique scenes are pleasing to the eye, and the costume elements are added to the urban drama, which is also doubly happy for the audience, and the whole thing is looking forward to.
Strong supporting cast, the actors are more ruthless than the other
The cast of "Just Meeting You" is also a point that this drama cannot ignore, especially the supporting roles, which make people sigh once again that the face of the right is too big.
The first Li Xiaoran
The ratings goddess Li Xiaoran, with both appearance and strength, is also a leader among middle-aged actresses in the same period.
When he was young, Li Xiaoran was like a jasmine flower full of spiritual energy but easy to break, and the performances in dramas such as "Too late to say I love you" and "Like fog like rain and like wind" were too poignant.
As he grew older, Li Xiaoran faded his youthful temperament, but became more mature, atmospheric and tenacious, so that the role of Wang Xining, who served as the gold medal host in the new drama, also became a bright color.
Not only modern clothes are eye-catching, Li Xiaoran also has a lot of costume styling in the play, every scene in the trailer is amazing, hate too few shots, can only look forward to the finished film.
The second place Jing Tian
Jing Tian's popularity has soared in the past two years, and a "Si Ten" has brought her classical temperament into full play,
From the perspective of appearance and resources, she is likely to be promoted to an actress in the ranks of post-85 flowers.
Jing Tian's body has been controversial this year, but she still plans to use her works to speak in a low-key manner.
This new drama guest starred in the role of Du Qiong, I believe it can surprise the audience.
The third place, Hui Yinghong
As a double actress of the Golden Horse and the Academy Awards, Hui Yinghong can be described as a household name.
The benevolent appearance played in "Blood Guanyin", but in fact, the eight-faced Mrs. Tang left a deep impression on the audience.
Hui Yinghong's acting skills can be called textbook level, and this time she was invited to join "Just Meeting You" to show that she had found the right person.
A shot in the trailer put the image of the stern teacher up, and sure enough, a drama can't do without the bones of the drama.
The fourth place Jin Chen
The hot results of Jin Chen in 90 flowers are also obvious to all.
Although it can't reach the top degree, the starring "Ordinary Road" and "Blazing Road" are eye-catching.
The beautiful royal sister's appearance and natural and atmospheric performance are of their own, and the shots of Jin Chen in the new drama should also be pleasing to the eye, because the trailer is beautiful to the heart.
The fifth Wu Jinyan
As Yu Zheng's royal heroine, Wu Jinyan became popular with "Yanxi Raiders".
Unfortunately, the subsequent works were tepid, and it seemed that they gradually lost their popularity.
It seems that she still needs to meet the right "Bole" to give her a chance to get out of the circle.
No, Wu Jinyan will also join as a special starring in the new drama, and cooperating with Yu Zheng should be back in her "comfort zone", hoping that she can regain her state.
The sixth Tong Liya
Tong Liya used to be a popular actress who did not lose to 85 flowers such as Yang Mi and Zhao Liying.
The "Palace Lock Heart Jade" and "Ordinary World" starring her have become classics.
It is a pity that Tong Liya's representative works have become fewer and fewer in recent years, but there are constant disputes because of marriage and other turmoil.
In fact, actors still need works to prove themselves, and this time she can star in this "Just Meet You", I believe she can save her reputation.
In addition, Wang Yan, who became popular because of Qing'er in "Huan Zhu Gege", popular actress Qin Lan, popular young student Zeng Shunxi, old drama bone Liu Jia, He Saifei, Li Hongtao, Mesozoic powerful Guo Xiaodong and other actors will appear in the shots of this new drama.
In contrast, the popularity of the female advocate Nan is not enough to watch, but judging from the trailer, her acting skills are online, I believe that she will not drag her feet, just looking at the lineup will decide to chase it to the end.
All in all, "Just Meet You" has a total of 36 episodes, from the story setting to the production to the end, and then to the actor cast, there are no shortcomings, I believe that as long as it is broadcast smoothly, it can be fiercely popular, so do you want to chase this drama?
