A highly anticipated urban emotional drama "The Sun Accompanies Me" recently began broadcasting, and the characters and plots in the play immediately became hot topics, among which the role of "Shengyang" played by Xiao Zhan soared in popularity and quickly exceeded 1 million attention, becoming the most popular modern drama character on Tencent Video in 2023.
For this drama, Xiao Zhan's performance has been highly praised, and both fans and general audiences have given high praise to his acting skills and character performance. However, the heroine Bai Baihe, who partnered with Shengyang played by Xiao Zhan, caused some controversy, and many viewers even said that because Bai Baihe starred, they were unwilling to chase this drama. Some viewers also asked, since the heroine's age is similar to Zhu Zhu, why not let Zhu Zhu play this role?
In Zhu Zhu's previous roles, she usually played a successful and older single woman in the workplace. On the contrary, the character setting in "The Sun Accompanies Me" requires Bai Baihe's delicacy and strength, and her appearance and temperament perfectly match the requirements of the character. If Zhu Zhu plays the heroine, then the family and emotional relationship between Shengyang and Jian Bing in the play may have an incongruous plot.
In this drama, Shengyang is 10 years younger than Jian Bing, and Shengyang is full of admiration for Jian Bing and has a strong interest in advertising design. This age gap provides an interesting impetus for the development of the storyline. When the two met again, Shengyang had grown into a big boy with pursuits and hard work, while Jian Bing had suffered the damage of marriage and love and grew older. This age difference creates a very different dynamic, and if Zhu Zhu plays the role of Jian Bing, the emotional relationship may go in different directions, which is not in line with the setting in the play.
In addition, the play also successfully shows the authenticity of the real workplace, presenting some negative phenomena, such as the team leader's credit theft and sexual harassment. At the same time, the emotional treatment of middle-aged couples is not educational, but analyzes the sweetness and hurt in marriage through the character's own experience.
In addition to love, the family affection in the play is also warm and touching, although the Shengyang family is ordinary, but the family is harmonious, this emotion also touches the audience's heart. The actors' performances are also impeccable, especially the excellent acting skills of Yang Haoyu and Wang Lin, who give more depth to the characters.
