Only 2 episodes were broadcast, and the ratings of this dark horse drama that the audience was looking forward to were not low, and the acting skills of the old drama bones were amazing
What drama is the most popular recently?
If only according to the popularity of the Internet, the era business war drama "Flowers", which is being broadcast on CCTV, is well-deserved.
But Wong Kar-wai's table of delicacies on the Yellow River Road is unlikely to be liked by all audiences.
Shanghai business war tyrants, handsome guys and beautiful women love and hate hatred, and Jacky Cheung's golden song "Stealing Hearts" more than 20 years ago can't steal everyone's hearts.
Coupled with the period struggle drama "Dajiang Dahe 3" of Central 1, which will be broadcast soon, and the upcoming "South to North" during the Spring Festival, period dramas seem to be still the most popular dramas at the beginning of the year.
It seems that all kinds of period dramas have taken turns in the past two months, but in fact, there is still a big plate missing-
Period family drama.
These five words seem unfamiliar, but in fact, almost everyone knows the famous works, such as "Desire", "Breaking through the East", and "The World" and so on.
It is not difficult to find that at the moment when ancient puppet dramas and urban dramas are rampant, this kind of theme is extremely rare, let alone good dramas.
The main reason is that the requirements for both the script and the actors are extremely high, far less pleasing than genres such as ancient puppets, after all, there are too few period dramas like "The World".
Fortunately, there is finally another good drama debut, although the audience has been waiting for 10 years-
The drama was filmed in 2012, and it was briefly launched on terrestrial channels in 2013, with good ratings but not much volume, and not many people paid attention.
But tonight, it was finally broadcast on Tianjin Satellite TV - "Qijiu River Open".
In the past few years, Tianjin Satellite TV has created two dark horses for ratings with historical dramas, one is "Ding Da Ming" the year before last, and the other is
Last year, Shanxi, Hubei, Tianjin, and Inner Mongolia Four David TV's "Da Shengkui" were launched.
This second-tier satellite TV, which is good at seizing dark horse dramas, can it still bet on the dark horse this time?
It still does, it seems.
Only 2 episodes were released in the first broadcast, and the second episode ranked fifth in the ratings of satellite TV, but in fact, there is not much gap with "Flowers" broadcast by Jiangsu Satellite TV. The follow-up ratings are gaining momentum, and it seems that this show does have something.
What do family dramas rely on? Show family culture and civilian life.
There is no bright wine on the Yellow River Road, but it is the deepest existence in the lives of ordinary people.
Today, let's talk together, what is the dark horse drama of the era of "Seven or Nine Rivers Open, Eight or Nine Geese Come"?
01, two national first-class actors were offline in only two episodes?
In the 1970s, the Northeast Forest Farm was lush with trees.
The camera swept away, and in the vast snow-covered forest, a group of wood thieves were hurrying to cut wood.
is staring at Wang Youfu played by Ni Dahong.
In the tent not far away, the old ranger brothers played by Zhang Guangbei and He Zhengjun were drinking with the old brothers in Inner Mongolia, and several children were playing on the side.
An opening, the taste of a civilian family epic period drama with blood thicker than water, came out.
I have to say that the screenwriter of this play knows how to "retain the audience".
After explaining the main characters at the beginning, the rhythm of the plot immediately became tight, and the contradictions and conflicts can be said to be endless, which makes people can't stop watching.
In the first 2 episodes alone, there are at least 3 big troubles.
The first trouble - the capture of the wood thief;
The mare's milk in Inner Mongolia was intoxicating, and the two drunken old brothers were falling asleep when they suddenly heard the alarm sounding - it was the wood thief again.
Zhang Guangbei's mainland father grabbed Wang Youfu's son Wang Weidong's collar and asked: Say, is there your father?
The child stubbornly said that his father would stop doing this.
But Mainland Dad didn't believe that Wang Youfu, a habitual criminal, could not steal wood.
The group rushed out of the tent, just bumped into the police who rushed to the scene, rushed up together, greeted each other, and quickly cleaned up a group of wood thieves.
Counting the number of people, there is really no king blessed.
Blessed and blessed, this wood-stealing father is really lucky.
Wang Weidong hid in the forest and smiled, searched the neighborhood overnight, and finally found Wang Youfu, who had broken his feet but escaped the search.
Why can my father report him?
The second trouble - the young protagonist was caught lit in the forest.
There is a rule in the forest: no fire.
Because ignition may cause fires, Hosseta's father and wife played by He Zhengjun are lost in the forest fire.
But Qin Dalu, Wang Weidong, and Hosai, three hairy boys, plus a grassland girl with childhood sweethearts, several people played and worshiped in the forest, missed the time, and on the way back, it was dark, and the sound of wolves was everywhere.
If you light the fire, you will attract your father, and you will inevitably be beaten.
If you don't light the fire, it may become a wolf's supper.
Okay, let's order it, sure enough, the mainland father who smelled the smoke and rushed to arrive.
The ranger played by Zhang Guangbei went up and gave Wang Weidong a big mouth, but his own son Qin Dalu quit.
As soon as I got home, I staged a house to uncover the tiles, but the house fell into disrepair, the soles of my feet slipped, and I fell back to my own kang directly.
When Sarina's mother saw that her son was fine, she immediately made a move: pretending to be dizzy.
This outfit, this level has passed, but what if there is a big hole leaking on the roof of the house?
You can only find wood to repair.
But in those years, even if they were employees of the forestry factory, they had to apply for wood, and they didn't know when they would be approved.
Zhang Guangbei was furious, and directly pulled the car up the mountain to pick up wood.
But this time, I picked up the third trouble of Kaida - forest protection sacrifice.
Zhang Guangbei, who went up the mountain to pick up wood, accidentally found the traces of another group of forest thieves, and followed the sound, a group of people had already succeeded, and they were roasting rabbit meat in the cave to eat.
He turned around and tried to retreat, but his tracks were exposed, and he was rushed up by several thieves and caught in the hole.
The so-called hero does not suffer immediate losses, he had an idea, and immediately talked to the thief about the business, seeing that this level was about to pass, but it was a coincidence that Hossed, played by He Zhengjun, was worried about the safety of the old man, and came to the forest alone to find someone, and the shouting was just heard by the thief.
Broken!
This group of outlaws has already recognized the identity of the mainland father's forest ranger, so the people who come can't stay.
At the moment of life and death, the mainland father urged Wang Youfu to untie his rope and hurried to support the old man.
However, the snow was vast and the enemy was outnumbered, and the two of them were strong against the thief, but they fell one after another in the forest sea that had been guarded for a lifetime.
When they waited for Mainland's mother and Qin Continent to come by car to find someone, all they found were two stiff corpses.
This is what was presented in just two episodes of the opening two episodes of "Qijiu River Open".
The father of Qin Dalu and Huo Sai, played by two national first-class actors Zhang Guangbei and He Zhengjun, died in the line of duty at the beginning, causing irreparable damage to the two families.
In the process of finding out the truth, everyone suspected that the accident was related to Wang Weidong's father Wang Youfu, and it caused a lot of estrangement between the former good brothers, and finally turned against each other.
At the beginning, there are many characters on the scene, such as forest rangers, wood thieves, forest rangers' families, young protagonists, beautiful girls who grew up drinking goat's milk on the grassland, and so on.
An arrest, a trick-or-treat, and a sacrifice soon brought the audience into the atmosphere of the play with a fast and steady rhythm, and prepared sufficient foreshadowing for the dramatic conflict that broke out later.
In the seventies of the last century, in the vast forest farm, the story of the previous generation came to an abrupt end, and the story of the three high-spirited young people Qin Dalu, Huo Sai, and Wang Weidong had just begun.
It's impossible not to look forward to the plot later.
02, the supporting roles are more eye-catching than the protagonists, and the acting skills of the old drama bones are applauded
In addition to the compact plot that revolves around the three protagonists, "Qijiu River Open" also has a significant highlight that has to be mentioned: there are many old drama bones and many national first-class actors.
In the first two episodes alone, the adult male protagonists played by Lian Yiming and Ji He have not yet appeared, and four national first-class actors have already appeared.
And where is the difficulty of period dramas, group dramas. What is the difficulty of group portrait drama, the acting skills of the characters.
Regardless of the main match, the characters have their own stories.
relies on acting skills to stand, and the drama can be counted.
Not to mention anything else, the first two episodes of "Qijiu River Open" directly achieved the ultimate in acting.
In the past 2 episodes, there are 4 old drama bones, and they are also national first-class actors who show their acting skills.
The first place, Zhang Guangbei.
Zhang Guangbei, who was popular all over the country with two general roles when he was young, did not play Lu Bu or Chu Yunfei this time, but played a forest ranger who guarded the forest farm for a lifetime, and was also the protagonist Qin Dalu's father.
As soon as Zhang Guangbei came out, he brought with him the arrogance of the older generation of forest rangers.
Even if he is tied up by a thief, there is the same stubbornness in his eyes.
In the face of his disobedient son, he has a temper that he can't fight when he is angry.
really saw that his son fell, and immediately his voice trembled, and his son was long and his son was short.
The image of an older generation of dads who loves his son in his heart but doesn't know how to express it will perform that flavor as soon as he performs it.
There are also scenes from being captured to fighting with thieves, Zhang Guangbei's performance can be said to be done in one go.
Whether it is the change of expression, or the lines and body movements, it is enough to see that the skills of this old actor have hardly decreased compared with the peak of "Bright Sword".
More interesting in the back. I was still thinking, who should this stubborn old guy play in order to fit him perfectly?
The director gave the answer: second place, He Zhengjun.
Lian Yiming, you know how to play the stalk of "Bright Sword".
When "Chu Yunfei" became "Li Yunlong", Zhao Gang was still Zhao Gang.
Interestingly, He Zhengjun brought his own elegant qualities to "Qijiu River Open".
But it perfectly cooperates with Zhang Guangbei's performance, watching these old brothers sing and harmonize, one wants to beat his son, the other helps the mainland to cover and help him go down the steps, this chemical reaction, there is a feeling of watching "Bright Sword" in a trance.
It's just that the opposite one has become these two.
Hahahaha, this feeling is so wonderful, but the meaning is indescribable.
The rivalry between these two old drama bones, I haven't seen enough, I haven't seen enough at all.
Third, Sarina.
Sarina everyone knows, from the classic domestic period drama "Breaking through the Guandong" to "The World", the mother she plays is always real, simple and down-to-earth, the kind of maternal love and warmth, I don't know that it has touched many audiences.
The mainland mother played this time looks full of life and has few acting skills, but in a scene with her son pretending to be stupid, her eyes and facial micro-expressions are delicate enough to make people unforgettable.
What's even more exciting is to hear the mainland crying in the snow: My dad is gone.
The director gave a long shot, and the audience couldn't see the character's expression clearly, but Sarina used a few wrestling in the snow to play the character's grief and helplessness all of a sudden.
Next, this old actor will have a lot of highlights, that is, the drama of pulling the three children to the big one.
That's naturally Sarina's best play.
fourth place, Ni Dahong.
The role in Ni Dahong's drama is really a scumbag dad who makes me feel good in "It's All Good", but the wonderful thing is that this role is actually before "It's All Good".
As soon as he appeared, he was full of cowardice and gangsterism. Spontaneously.
The thief was found by his son in the middle of the night, and asked his son to carry him back, and the small expression of the opening directly portrayed the character's arrogance and the strength of the dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water, which was completely portrayed by Ni Dahong's tone and posture.
There are not many opening scenes, but they are still impressive, and Ni Dahong's acting skills are indeed a bit good.
As the plot unfolds, next, Lian Yiming, Wu Jun, Wang Weiwei, Ji He and other leading actors will appear one after another, as long as the acting skills maintain the level of the first two episodes, the episodes will not be ugly.
03, the long-lost taste of family dramas has finally been filmed again
There are always viewers who think that backlog dramas are equal to bad dramas, but Tianjin TV has several backlog dramas one after another, such as last year's "Da Shengkui", which completely slapped this kind of question.
Although this "Qijiu River Open" has just started, the old era drama flavor of the show is very strong.
If the taste is right, the word of mouth will not be bad.
Let's just say three points.
The first place is full of age.
Although there is no gorgeous scene at the beginning, director Lian Yiming did shoot the simple sense of age in the 70s of the last century.
The biggest problem with many domestic period dramas is precisely that they are afraid of the past era too gorgeously.
However, this play uses limited scenes to present the real style of people in that era: poor and color-biased.
The second point is to highlight the group portrait.
Unlike other genre dramas, period dramas have always focused on group portrait portrayal, and the supporting characters may also have highlights than the protagonists.
At the beginning of this play, many of the characters' shortcomings are very obvious, and they are almost unpleasant at first glance, such as Zhang Guangbei's impulsive and reckless character, and Ni Dahong's character's dead face.
But this is where the characters are vivid.
No one is perfect, but there is no lack of cuteness and respectability. Zhang Guangbei's mainland father is just a powerful mouth, and his love for his son is not less at all.
Ni Dahong's character frequently poachs, also to pay his son's tuition.
And the advantages of these characters are delicately kneaded into the daily life of the story.
The appearance of characters with different characteristics enriches the group portrait color of this drama, which makes people very enjoyable to watch.
The third point is to show the human touch of the times.
The root of the family drama of the era is the indescribable human touch of the older generation.
Zhang Guangbei and He Zhengjun played the old forest ranger who took care of each other all their lives, and at the last moment they were also fighting the wood thieves hand in hand.
Sarina's mainland mother did not discriminate against the child's father because he was a wood thief, let alone put the grievances of the previous generation on the child.
The child has no father to take care of, so they pull the child up together.
I have to say that the spirit of this period drama is right!
The daily life of "Seventy-Nine Rivers Open" is mostly trivial, but it is also mixed with warmth.
It's real enough, just like your life and mine.
Compared with the luxury period dramas with huge investments, the popularity of this kind of rustic period dramas also proves:
There are no old dramas, only bad dramas.
People come and go in the forest farm, and there is a variety of lives.
Even the unpretentious shots and rich details of life can still make the years of love and hatred and historical changes slowly flow into the hearts of the audience like water in the forest.
When we feel that period dramas are playful.
A lot of times it's because the story isn't convincing enough.
The story is right, the performance is right, the fish are in the right water, and the natural seven or nine rivers open.
What's next, of course, is eight or nine geese.
A good drama is a river, and the audience is a returning goose.
