Recently, the high-profile domestic TV series "Once Upon a Time in Bianshui" is about to debut on CCTV, and six powerful actors such as Guo Qilin and Wu Zhenyu have gathered, which has attracted widespread attention. The production lineup of this drama is strong, which makes people look forward to it, especially whether Guo Qilin will challenge a role with considerable emotional depth, and whether he can stand out and become the focus. This article will explore the reasons why "Once Upon a Time" may become a dark horse in the national drama boom from the aspects of script configuration, casting, and plot setting.
Kwok has always been loved by audiences for his humorous image, and this time he will play the male protagonist of "Once Upon a Time in the Water", a young man who has been wandering in northern Myanmar for more than 300 days. This is undoubtedly a subversion for audiences who are used to seeing his funny performances Xi. Whether the relaxed image can be improved in this drama full of emotional depth has become the focus of attention.
In his past works, Kwok has mainly played humorous roles, such as "Celebrating More Than Years" and "Son-in-law", which have been highly acclaimed. This time, he will challenge a character full of tragedy, and he needs to present the various experiences of the protagonist Shen Xing in northern Myanmar through superb acting skills. The audience showed a strong curiosity about whether Guo Qilin could successfully control this role.
The play's script is based on Shen Xingxing's non-fiction work of the same name, which describes the author's wandering experience of wandering into the Golden Triangle of northern Myanmar at the age of 18. The singularity of this archetypal case makes the script more appealing and different from the traditional rare crime genre. The article mentions that Guo Qilin's performance in the play needs to accumulate strength to control the performance of the character, which also implies that the plot will present a deep emotional depth.
It is worth looking forward to the fact that the script not only describes the protagonist's escape experience in northern Myanmar, but also depicts the life process of the bigwigs in northern Myanmar through a dual perspective. This setting can not only add more layers to the story, but also provide more room for powerful actors such as Wu Zhenyu to play. As the producer, Cao Baoping is good at capturing the depth of crime-themed works, adding more suspense elements to the advancement of the plot.
In addition to Guo Qilin and Wu Zhenyu, two powerful actors, there are also supporting roles with outstanding acting skills such as Wang Xun and Jiang Qiming in the play, as well as Qi Xi, the supporting actress winner of the Golden Rooster Award. Such a cast makes people look forward to the acting performance of "Once Upon a Time on the Water". In the play, the boss Uncle Chai played by Wu Zhenyu has a significant increase in the proportion of scenes compared with the original book, which adds a lot to the entire series.
As an executive producer, Cao Baoping's past crime films such as "The Scorching Sun" and "The Killer Chaser" are known for their dark and profound plots. This makes "Once Upon a Time by the Water" more inclined to a crime noir movie in terms of overall atmosphere, in stark contrast to Guo Qilin's comic image in the past. Viewers can expect to see a more dramatic, dark style in this show.
Guo Qilin has always been active in front of the audience with his humorous and witty image, however, this time he chose to challenge a character full of tragedy and deep emotions. In "Once Upon a Time in Border Water", he will play Shen Xing, a young man who wanders in northern Myanmar for 300 days and experiences the doom and trials of life. This is a dramatic shift for Guo Qilin, who needs to bring the audience into a new visual experience through a more calm and soulful performance technique.
The audience is full of anticipation for whether Guo Qilin can successfully handle this challenging role. Whether he can transform the comic image into a more in-depth performance will be a high-profile highlight of "Once Upon a Time on the Border". Guo Qilin's success may mean that actors have a broader development space in the field of performance, and it will also prompt more actors to try different types of roles and present a more diverse look for domestic TV dramas.
"Once Upon a Time in the Water" not only has Guo Qilin, a comic actor, joined, but also added a lot to the participation of powerful actors such as Wu Zhenyu, Wang Xun, and Jiang Qiming. This makes the whole series more solid at the acting level, and the profound shaping of the characters in the play will present a richer and three-dimensional character image for the audience.
When Wu Zhenyu played the role of the big guy Uncle Chai, he added more layers to the plot and presented a more complex style of rivers and lakes. His partnership with Guo Qilin also makes the plot more exciting. The participation of powerful actors has injected more artistic soul into "Once Upon a Time in Border Water", making the whole series more high-level guarantee.
The suspense element has always been one of the important elements to attract the audience. In "Once Upon a Time on the Border", the plot incorporates suspense elements, and through the plot design of murder incidents, complex agreements, etc., it adds more highlights to the whole story. This kind of plot setting makes "Once Upon a Time in the Water" not only an ordinary crime drama, but also creates a new pattern in domestic TV dramas.
The introduction of suspense elements provides the audience with more space to think, and also increases the interest of watching the drama. This attempt shows that domestic TV dramas are constantly exploring and innovating, striving to be more diverse in themes and plots, and bringing a richer viewing experience to the audience.
The CCTV viewing platform watched "The Past of Bianshui" in advance, which fully shows the recognition of the production level of the show. As one of the most authoritative TV media in China, CCTV's recognition has undoubtedly laid a solid foundation for the success of "Once Upon a Time in the Water". This also means that domestic TV dramas are gradually ushering in a new starting point in terms of production level and subject matter.
As a result, the domestic drama market may open a more prosperous era, and more high-quality works are expected to emerge.
