This year's urban drama market is going to be "earthquake"!
As long as the word "urban" is installed, it seems to be equated with bad dramas, and this year's tattered urban works "one after another" have made the audience complain.
First, the national first-class actor Jin Dong and the double material TV queen Song Jia partnered "Even if the Wind Rises", and then the spicy evaluation of the entertainment industry's "Spring Warm Sun" appeared, "Ode to Joy 4", "Corner Love" and "Back Wave", etc., one is worse than the other.
In fact, according to the entire urban drama market, at least two ruthless products can come in previous years.
For example, in 2022, "The Wind Blows Half Summer", which allows Zhao Liying to really have a name in front of the audience, instantly set off a frenzy of chasing dramas.
"Walking to the Wind" and "The Rest of Your Life, Please Advise" directly refreshed the audience's cognition of urban sweet pet dramas, sweet but not greasy, making people more and more addicted the more they watch.
Further on, there are more, "It's All Good", "Thirty Only", "The Sea of Stars" and "My First Half of Life" and so on.
The departments exploded, the ratings were hot, and any one of them had caused heated discussions on the whole network.
Seeing that the first half of 2023 is about to pass, there is no urban drama standing up, this is really a dish?
Don't worry, hard dishes are coming.
This time, the dishes are not only "hard" but also full of color and flavor, and even more worthy of savouring than previous blockbuster works.
Looking at the stills, do you think this is a catwalk?
Non also.
This drama takes large-scale cultural programs as the line, and regards the national intangible cultural heritage as pearls, and wears them one by one into necklaces of great value.
And all of them are little-known traditional craftsmanship.
From the surface to the inside, from the craftsmanship to the story behind the inheritor, in the form of a program, different inheritance cultures are displayed in front of the audience.
With "Back Wave" in front, won't it be another urban drama with outrageous wisdom under the banner of "inheritance"?
There really isn't one.
Filigree inlay, silk, Su embroidery and jade carving, etc., from explanation to material shooting, to the final effect display, are all eye-catching.
Having said all this, what is the drama?
"Just Met You", people are idol dramas dressed in inheritance culture, this one is seriously engaged in culture under the skin of "urban".
Even the final Easter eggs have real documentaries, interviews with veteran craftsmen and introductions to the craft.
While people string together the small stories behind various intangible cultural heritage, there is also a profound discussion of "cultural entertainment".
No matter what kind of element, it can be enough to make the urban drama market "earthquake".
But this kind of drama integrated into cultural programs won't be too boring, right?
Don't say, what really makes "Just Meet You" out of the circle has to be the eye-catching actors.
Sometimes, it only takes three people for a drama to get out of the circle.
1. Wang Yan's acting skills
31 years of drama age, Qiong Yao girl.
With only two words, do you already feel that she is the number one among middle-aged actresses.
But what if she is Wang Yan?
At the age of 18, he was selected by the director to enter the entertainment industry, and married a real estate tycoon after graduating from North Dance.
Because Qing'er in "Huan Zhu Gege 2" is well known to the audience, although it is only a supporting role, he can then directly cooperate with the top stream Zhao Wenzhuo and Xiaohua Jiang Qinqin at that time.
Then she sat in the position of the big heroine, and in just 4 years, there were frequent blockbusters, and then she directly pressed Jiang Qinqin.
was even invited to play Zhou Zhiruo in "The Legend of Relying on the Sky and Slaying the Dragon", she refused for "Huan Zhu Gege 3", which was the highlight moment of Gao Yuanyuan.
No matter how you look at the stars, it is all bright, but when she has a child, she resolutely quit the circle and became a full-time mother.
There have not been many splashes in recent years of return, but when she appeared in "Just Meeting You", she directly showed her strength.
The first scene is the meeting between Yu Wangqing, played by her, and her stepson.
Yu Wangqing is the sister-in-law of the female protagonist, and before she came in, the male protagonist mistakenly thought that the female protagonist was a little mother, so the atmosphere was a little awkward at the moment.
In fact, the male protagonist is a bit of an idol drama-style performance, but as soon as the camera turned to Wang Yan, the heart that just wanted to play was instantly dragged back.
Yu Wangqing is a virtuous and enlightened stepmother, who takes the initiative to show favor when she sees the male protagonist.
She tilted her head slightly and pursed her lips and smiled.
There is no pompous deliberate performance, and a turn of the head will fully interpret the psychology of the character.
Who could tell that this woman is 49 years old.
Nearly half a hundred years old, but Wang Yan's face did not have any fatigue or any bitterness dragged down by the years.
Although she is a sister-in-law, the heroine was brought up by Yu Wangqing since she was a child.
The heroine's boss found her and questioned the reason why the heroine entered the company through the back door and Yu Wangqing was pushing behind her back.
At this time, Yu Wangqing just lowered his head and smiled, without any displeasure.
I thought this sister-in-law was really a "soft persimmon".
But when the boss and professor dig into the roots, the more detailed the question, even when it involves privacy.
Yu Wangqing was obviously unhappy, and she raised her head and asked: What does this have to do with you?
Although the tone was still calm and the expression was not too solemn, this question had already given the other party a hint.
When she got the information of the other party's investigation, her face changed instantly.
Yu Wangqing carefully read the paper in his hand, and the more he looked at it, the worse his face became.
Just now I was able to maintain decency, but this time I was really poked at the pain point.
It can be seen that Yu Wangqing really loves the heroine.
After carefully examining it, she raised her head and began to pray.
Such a gentle woman, only her niece is her weakness, when she is touched by someone, all pretenses are dissipated.
There are not many ups and downs, but it can handle the layers of emotions with great precision.
And nearly half a hundred years old, the appearance is still not broken, and even a little smart, worthy of being the actor Qiong Yao fancy.
2. Li Yitong's face
Li Yitong's agility is also famous in the circle.
At the beginning of the year, "Crazy" soared all the way to all parts of the country, and the male second Zhang Songwen directly achieved a rise in the coffee position, and almost all the members were out of the circle.
Only Li Yitong does not have too many splashes, and even the "sister-in-law" Gao Ye who is ten miles away has appeared at the Cannes Film Festival, but Li Yitong is still shuttling in online dramas.
But it is undeniable that this sister's appearance is too top.
Li Yitong played Lin Haishan in "Just Meeting You", there are not too many scenes, but as soon as he appeared on camera, he attracted all his attention.
In terms of inheriting silk reeling technology, Lin Haishan, who returned from studying abroad, had a disagreement with her mother.
She has always wanted this craft to go out and attract more people's attention.
But at the same time, he doesn't have much energy to improve his strength in crafting.
In fact, it is often discussed in society whether cultural inheritance "craftsmanship" or attention is more important.
Mother Lin, who is strict and strict, has a deep misunderstanding of her daughter, and does not understand the development of new media today.
Li Yitong's acting skills are actually shown in "Crazy", which is still a little worse than the powerful.
In front of the media, when scolded by his mother, this crying scene is a bit fake.
But as soon as the camera turned, when Lin Haishan saw her mother modify the silk embroidery diagram that she deliberately damaged, she burst into tears instantly, and she felt a deep sense of substitution.
I don't know if it's a lighting problem or the filter is temporarily dropped, and the fair skin turns yellow in a second, obviously without the filter and dermabrasion.
The top-down lighting made Li Yitong's large lying silkworm plus shadow into eye bags, frowning and basic wrinkles were clearly visible.
In this case, the appearance did not overturn.
After seeing this silk embroidery picture, Lin Haishan understood that her mother had understood herself, but she was not good at expressing it.
The haze of the years disappeared in an instant, and she looked in the direction of her mother with tears in her eyes.
There is not a single line in this play, but the audience deeply feels the psychological changes of the characters.
It was really good.
3. Li Xiaoran's clothes
Li Xiaoran's clothes in "Just Meeting You" can be used as a textbook for office workers.
She played Wang Xining is a divorced host, once in the limelight, but now there is not much fame.
In addition, this appearance is Wang Xining's first appearance many years later, and the more people lack, the more they have to show.
Carrying a designer bag, a large gold ring and sunglasses, she walked into the studio in a high-profile manner.
But if you look closely, the brown shirt and white suit with a slight sense of design are not too exaggerated.
There is a little bit of high note in the style.
Most of Li Xiaoran's outfits in the play show her own intellectual charm, which also coincides with the host's poetic and self-effacious aura.
On occasions when meeting with friends and styling the show, dress more casually.
But it is also mainly white, looking comfortable and elegant, the same white, slightly loose fit and more atmospheric than Li Yitong on the side.
Participating in the company's celebration queue, Wang Xining did not choose to attend in full costume.
The cropped shirt and jeans with pressed sleeves can make her stand out in the crowd and show her good figure.
Of course, not all clothes are so plain.
In the scene of the meeting, Li Xiaoran, who has shoulder-length hair, is wearing a shirt with an ink-style pattern, don't say, unbuttoning the two buttons is really thin.
A pull of the vista, it turned out to be a V-neck dress.
Look at our sister's eyes, the upper body is shouldered and short-sleeved fit, and the middle is pinched at the waist and the lower body A-line umbrella skirt.
Coupled with pointed heels, it is clear that there is no leakage of body curves, but it is sexy.
I believe that many female viewers can't help but be impulsive and want to jump into the screen to "link" her.
Similar to the ink painting style, Li Xiaoran has another one in the play.
Different materials, more ladylike.
Half ponytail with black belt as embellishment, even in sexy cheongsam, it is very eye-catching.
When it comes to occasions where it is necessary to arrange noodles, Wang Xining, as the host, will not be inferior.
She wears a long green waist skirt, walks with great style, and wears a long white tweed coat.
Instantaneous and others are not a dimension.
This kind of green with a bit of blues is not something that ordinary people can control, Li Xiaoran's already fair skin is white and glowing, and it is not black under the background of the white coat.
Cocked Erlang's legs casually, smiled confidently, and instantly believed that the role she played was once a sister in the hosting industry.
There is no need to say more about Li Xiaoran's acting skills, but in this kind of urban drama that does not require too many emotional changes, her clothes are more eye-catching.
Most of the outfits in the play are not the common one-board suits in TV series, and the decent and tasteful outfits make the style of the whole drama more grounded.
I have reasonable doubts that this sister has "brought clothes into the group".
Although the popularity of "Just Meeting You" is not as high as "Back Wave", whether it is the lines in the play or the plot around the theme, it is more profound and realistic.
Click on the comment area, and there is even more praise.
The intentions of the production team can be presented to the audience through the screen, and "Just Meeting You" is not just a slogan-style display of cultural heritage.
Instead, it really inserts the rarely seen intangible cultural heritage in the plot.
More lively and vivid than documentaries, more meaningful to chase down than common urban dramas, worth watching!
