I don't know if careful viewers have noticed that in the past few years, some viewers have begun to become more and more interested in period dramas.
From "Breaking through the East", which writes about the struggle of little people in difficult times, to "The Glory of Fathers", which tells the changes of the forest farm and the will of the fathers in 2023, .......
The audience and reputation of period dramas are becoming more and more, and they are getting better and better, even to the point that as long as the quality of period dramas will not be faulted too much, most audiences will willingly pay for it.
So much so that over the years, period dramas have become fragrant buns in the eyes of many directors, scrambling to get a piece of the "period dramas", so there are period drama works such as "The Torch of the Avenue" and "Mother's Road".
However, it is a pity that although the period drama is a fragrant bun, not all "cats and dogs" can make a good response to it.
If you really want to shoot a period drama well, it is better to learn from the experience of "Qijiu River Open", which was rebroadcast yesterday (January 7, 2024).
A civilian epic that spans generations
"Qijiu River Open" was first filmed in 2013, and it was rebroadcast by various Davids because of its high quality, and even the ratings obtained were not bad.
Even though this is a period drama eleven years ago, in the eyes of many netizens, this drama may not be able to create glory again this year.
Because in addition to the excellent quality of the script, it also has the most critical and important point, which is "from the people".
It is very different from period dramas such as "Flowers", "Breaking through the Guandong", which represent the business war dramas of the era, and even "Pearl River People", which represents the legendary dramas of the era.
The protagonist of its story has neither the arrogance of squandering millions of dollars, nor the pride of reaching the highest place step by step.
Its story is so ordinary, telling the ordinary story of an ordinary person, a mediocre person, the ups and downs of fate in the changing times, and nothing else.
However, it is precisely because of this that this kind of period drama is more likely to arouse the empathy of ordinary people, because it is the true portrayal of countless ordinary people.
However, in addition to this, the story of the show is also extremely selling.
The drama "Qijiu River Open" tells the story of an "era of change" in the late seventies of the twentieth century, a young man named Qin Dalu (Lian Yiming), and Huo Sai (Wu Jun) and Wang Weidong (Ji Ta) became righteous brothers, and experienced growth, setbacks, successes, and disputes together.
At first glance, netizens may not think that this content is good, but the shaping of this script is too good and too good.
In the first half of the story, it is talking about the warmth and coldness of human feelings, about the life experienced by the mainland mother played by Sarina, in the woods, and how the mainland mother can pull her son Qin Dalu to grow up on the occasion of ten thousand years, and at the same time, it is also affirming the difficulties and difficulties of single-parent families.
In the middle and late stages, it is about the differences and friendships between Qin Continent and his brothers, and then about the complex manifestations of their complex feelings and changes, all the way from confidants to rebellion, and then from rebellion to reconciliation.
And when it comes to the main plot line, it is about Qin Dalu, who is the protagonist, all the way from being imprisoned for righteousness, and then from scratch after being released from prison, from having to nothing to having again.
At this stage, the actors also portrayed the roles very well, and as far as the eye can see, every role is played with flesh and blood, just like ordinary people in reality.
Even if people are not of the same era as us, the kind of sinking, wandering, and perseverance in the process of struggle ...... , but they are no different from us, they are just like us who lived in that era.
But what is even more valuable is that in addition to the quality of the film's script, its cast is also luxurious.
Zhang Guangbei
He is the most classic Lu Bu in the "Three Kingdoms" series, and he is also the most impressive Chu Yunfei in "Bright Sword".
As a national first-class actor, Zhang Guangbei's strength is so strong that many audiences must be able to see it, as an actor, his acting skills are superb and vivid, and he strives to play every role to the extreme.
Even if it is just a few small roles, they can be vivid and vivid in Zhang Guangbei's performance.
In "Qijiu River Open", he will also play the main role in the play, at least the strength of the leading actor is guaranteed.
He Zhengjun
When it comes to Zhang Guangbei, I have to mention He Zhengjun, another bright sword actor in the play, as Zhao Gang and Zhao political commissar in "Bright Sword", he is calm and introverted.
Every time Li Yunlong had an accident or became impulsive and impatient, it was this Zhao political commissar who helped to take care of it, and it was with Zhao Gang's help that Li Yunlong was able to survive in crisis after crisis.
Therefore, it also made a group of "Bright Sword" fans remember Zhao Gang deeply and watched it happily, and as the actor of Zhao Gang, He Zhengjun's acting skills are impeccable.
This time, he played the righteous and awe-inspiring Huo Mingda in "Qijiu River Open", and maybe he can bring more unexpected surprises to the audience.
Ni Dahong
"The whole army attacked, and went straight to Zhuge Liang's four-wheeled vehicle!"
Now when I see Ni Dahong, my ears seem to be listening to Sima Yi of "New Three Kingdoms", talking about his magical lines.
Even if there is still a big gap between the new Three Kingdoms and the old version of the Three Kingdoms, this does not prevent Ni Dahong, who is the actor of Sima Yi, from becoming popular and out of the circle because of this.
After all, people want acting skills, and they want ghost animals.
When playing Sima Yi, Ni Dahong showed Sima Yi's gloom and calculation, and in order to achieve his goal, he even did not hesitate to let his relatives and friends be forced to die for him.
When he played Su Daqiang in "It's All Good", Ni Dahong turned into a "work" again, making heaven and earth, so that even his children, relatives and friends, and even the audience in front of the screen, were extremely disgusted with him.
can play Cai Quanwu in "The Little Woman Under Zhengyang Gate", and he can play the honest image of the role vividly.
So much so that when it comes to acting skills, Ni Dahong is almost difficult to find fault with him.
And now, he will play Wang Youfu in "Qijiu River Open", a role similar to Su Daqiang, if you want to play it well, I am afraid it will be even more difficult.
Lian Yiming
As the protagonist and director of the play, Lian Yiming's acting skills are actually far more online than others think.
As early as 2004, he had the most outstanding acting performance in the period drama "Blood Romance", and the "Zhang Haiyang" played by him was full of enthusiasm and motivation in this era.
The "red heart" that was performed made many people "burst into tears", and even to this day, they are still deeply impressed by this role.
Later, this excellent actor played the businessman "Yang Huoer" in "Lao Paoer" supervised by Feng Xiaogang, and also played this role again.
Yang Huo'er, who was played by him, showed his near-profit nature everywhere, but at the critical moment, he also had the persistence and bottom line of a normal person, and even for the sake of righteousness in his heart, he tried his best to help his friend Bo San'er (the old Pao'er in the film), even if he didn't get anything in return, he didn't feel anything wrong.
So much so that some viewers bluntly said that he was actually more worthy of the title of the protagonist than Bo San'er.
After all, people want to have acting skills, they want the audience to respond, and there are audience responses, even if they become the protagonist halfway, there is nothing abrupt.
But then again, now Lian Yiming has to play the protagonist Qin Dalu in "Qijiu River Open", according to his past performance, I think he can give this role a cover.
Sarina
Although the age gap with Lian Yiming is not too big, Sarina serves as Lian Yiming's mother in the film.
Some people may think it is abrupt, but if you take a closer look, you will find that this thing is not completely unacceptable.
First, Sarina's appearance is extremely mature, and secondly, she often appears on CCTV, and she actually has a lot of experience playing mothers.
From "My Child, My Home", "To the East is the Sea" to "Ten Sending the Red Army", every mother figure played by Sarina is memorable.
Even from the perspective of practice makes perfect, it is difficult to doubt her acting skills in playing the role of a mother.
Epilogue:
Although "Qijiu River Open" is an old drama eleven years ago, the plot is excellent, the shooting is exquisite, and the starring role is online, but it may not be able to recreate brilliance in 2024.
After all, there is a lesson from the past of "Da Shengkui", so it makes this more or less possible.
