"Flowers" drama review
Shanghai, as the most prosperous city in China, has begun to take shape in the 90s. The TV series "Flowers" is set in Shanghai in the 90s, telling the style and human feelings of that era. Although the money and status game depicted in the play is out of touch with public life, it restores the glitz and prosperity of Shanghai in that era through gorgeous scenes.
The most criticized thing in "Flowers" is that it exaggerates the extravagant daily life of Shanghai's rich. Million-dollar coats, hundreds of thousands of dinners, these seemingly overly publicized scenes will inevitably make ordinary audiences feel estranged. However, from the perspective of the Shanghai wealthy at that time, these details may be just the epitome of the Shanghai business community of that era.
What's even more questionable is that the characters in the play are too stereotyped. Whether it is a "wicked person" who pursues profit by any means, or a "good person" who never tarnishes his innocence, the characters are rich in three-dimensionality and blurred space. This may give today's audience a sense of flattening the picture. However, as a picture scroll of the times in the 90s, "Flowers" still analyzes the unique insights of Shanghai's social landscape in that era through individual cases.
Domestic drama recommendation: "Qijiu River Open"
Looking back on the most wonderful TV series works in the 90s, "Qijiu River Open" must be one of them. This work, which was filmed in 2012 but not broadcast, is now finally broadcast, and it will surely surprise the audience.
Different from "Flowers", "Blossoming Rivers" chooses to take the daily life of ordinary people as the starting point, and comprehensively restores the actual environment of villages and small towns in the 70s and 80s. From food, transportation to living environment and other details of life, they are all vividly restored. This is shown from one side, which is a more realistic restoration of the historical era than "Flowers".
In addition, "Seventy-Nine Rivers Open" vividly interprets the psychological changes of characters from different classes in that era. Whether it is a laid-off worker, a young teacher or a town resident, they all appear in the play with a moving image, truly showing their personality and growth. This coincides with "Flowers"'s emphasis on character stereotypes.
Synopsis of "Seventy-Nine Rivers Open".
"Qijiu River Open" mainly describes the touching story of the growth of three young people in Shaanxi, Qin Dalu, Huo Sai and Wang Weidong from the 1970s to the 1980s. Qin Dalu and Wang Weidong came from a working family, and Huo Sai was the son of a young teacher. The three of them are like-minded and become friends of Mo Rebellion.
Later, an accident caused Qin Dalu's father and Huo Sai's father to die, and the two families fell into a dilemma. At this time, the beautiful female doctor Manzhu went to work in the town, which became a new goal for Qin Dalu and others. Under the complex emotions, Qin Dalu gradually fell in love with Manzhu.
However, the truth of his father's death was unknown, which made the relationship between Qin Dalu and Wang Weidong gradually drift apart. Just when they were entangled in their feelings, an earthquake changed the lives of the three again......
Analysis of the highlights of "Seventy-Nine Rivers".
First of all, "79 Rivers Open" is extremely excellent in terms of visual performance. Whether it is the original clothing of the 70s, or the characteristic buildings of various places at that time, they have been restored to a very detailed and real level. This is very fascinating when looking back on history today.
Secondly, the three protagonists in the play, Qin Dalu, Huo Sai and Wang Weidong, have distinct personality characteristics and are full of affinity. Especially the subtle expression of emotional growth deeply touches people's hearts. This is also the most attractive part of "Seventy-Nine Rivers".
Moreover, "Seven Nine Rivers" vividly reproduces the true portrayal of rural areas and small towns in Chinese mainland in the early 70s and early 80s. From production and life to social changes, they are all comprehensively described in detail. This gives fans of the show a unique perspective on a look back in time.
Finally, "Seventy-Nine Rivers Open" is real and delicate in expressing the psychological and emotional growth of the characters. This not only starts with the three main characters, but also describes the inner changes of each secondary character in great detail. This is really rare in today's domestic TV dramas.
Introduction to the main actors of "Seven Nine Rivers".
Another veteran movie star, Ni Dahong, will also join the performance of this play. Ni Dahong has more than 30 years of experience in the film and television industry, and has won praise for his low-key and delicate performance style for a long time. In "The Opening of the Seventy-Nine River", Ni Dahong will play Qin Wenqiang, the father of Qin Dalu, such a strong and responsible father figure will definitely get his colorful interpretation.
In addition, senior actor He Zhengjun, who has won many film and television awards, also joined the performance. He will play the tragic character Hossey, which is believed to deeply move the audience.
Analysis of Sarina's acting skills
Sarina is a powerful theatrical performer, and she is good at conveying her inner world through subtle changes in her expressions and eyes. Wen Ta Niang, who played in "Crossing the Guandong", is magnificent outside the play, but she is a mother image full of wisdom and love in the play. When she smiled at the corners of her eyes and frowned slightly, it conveyed her deep affection for her children; And when she couldn't hide the sadness in her eyes, the sadness revealed in an instant also moved the audience. These subtle changes all come from Sarina's profound acting skills.
The traditional mother played in "The World", Sarina, also used the same delicate acting skills to perform again. When the coldness and sadness in her eyes, and the strength hidden under the seemingly low-key and introverted expression, they all tell the inner world of this complex character. Over the years, Sarina has used her strength to carve out her own acting kingdom on stage and screen, and her every expression can say a few words. I believe that her performance in "Seventy-Nine Rivers Open" will once again bring a visual feast to everyone.
Ni Dahong's acting style
Ni Dahong is unique in the film and television industry with his beautiful and introverted performance style. Unlike Sarina, who uses her eyes to convey her inner world subtly, Ni Dahong is more inclined to interpret characters through body language. Su Daqiang, who played in "It's All Good", can use a look and a subtle body movement to convey complex mood changes, whether he is laughing or melancholy. This kind of natural and restrained performance is difficult to obtain through exaggerated expressions, but it can deeply move the audience.
And in "Hurricane", it is even more sharp. Ni Dahong can convey the inner variety of this colorful character with a twisted eyebrow and a pursed corner of his lips. This kind of nuanced and affectionate acting skills is unique among performing artists with the same qualifications, and it also makes more audiences recognize and love him. I believe that in "79 Rivers Open", he will still use his unique performance style to bring a new experience to the audience.
"Seventy-Nine Rivers Open" viewing expectations and discussions
With the return of "79 River Open" to the stage, it will undoubtedly attract widespread attention inside and outside the industry. As a period drama that gathers senior film and television celebrities, the audience will definitely have high expectations. As a loyal fan of the movie, I personally have the following expectations for this show:
One is the performance of senior film and television actors. Sarina, Ni Dahong, etc. are all film and television masters that I have been pursuing for many years, and their performances in this play will surely enter my heart again.
The second is the drama's restoration of the social landscape of the 70s. From the costumes to the scenes, from the language to the details, they can help us relive the bits and pieces of the year.
The third is the entangled operation of the storyline. Period dramas are not only committed to the performance of history, but more importantly, the excavation of human nature. I hope that the drama connotation can be left with deep thought in the play.
Overall, as a movie fan, I hope that "Seventy-Nine Rivers Open" can bring us back to the bits and pieces of the past through the wonderful interpretation of old drama bones, and at the same time leave us with deep thinking. I believe that only high-quality performances and content can achieve the best results. It seems that we can only wait and see.
