Works with the theme of spy war have gained a firm foothold in the national drama market with their unique charm, and the signs of recovery are becoming more and more obvious.
Although works such as "Infernal", "Stalker" and "Thin Ice" are not better off the cliché design of this genre, they are also constantly innovating and trying to open new breakthroughs.
For example, the "Wind Chaser" that has just been launched.
The perspective of the story is relatively unique, and the financial field during the Republic of China period was also an undercurrent. The interweaving of corruption and power has made the originally calm central bank no longer simple, and everyone is hiding a little secret.
This drama quickly attracted a lot of attention and discussion with its unique plot, and the results were outstanding when it premiered, and the ratings easily broke 2.
After all, it is a work that CCTV is optimistic about, and it must have its wonders.
However, the audience's eyes are also bright, and the plot is clear at a glance. The actor's acting skills are even more crucial, if he doesn't act well, he doesn't even have the urge to chase the drama.
In many discussions, it is not difficult to find that the protagonist of "The Wind Chaser", which was robbed of the limelight, is really not to blame the male protagonist's poor acting skills, but the supporting roles are too amazing.
01
The rhythm of the first four episodes of "Wind Chaser" is still very fast, and the two story lines are parallel.
In Shanghai in 1930, the situation changed, and luck also befell the male protagonist Wei Ruolai. He didn't get a diploma from an accounting school, but he was appreciated by Shen Tunan, got a job, and got in touch with the bigger world.
At the same time, Shen Jinzhen, an engineer, has repeatedly carried out secret missions according to the instructions of her superiors, and her real identity is a Communist Party member.
The two young leading actors play the leading roles, can they interpret the roles very vividly?
Let's take a look at Wang Yibo first.
He has always carried the label of "traffic actor", and his popularity is high, which naturally brings a lot of attention to this drama.
After four episodes aired, a lot of criticism came from all directions.
"The acting skills are too blunt, the lines are all relied on, the eyes are empty, and the interpreted characters don't seem to have any emotion, which is the most unsuccessful design of the whole show......"
There are still a lot of similar criticisms, but when you return to the characters in the play, you can still see Wang Yibo's efforts, and the character expression has been significantly improved.
After getting Shen Tunan's appreciation, he jumped up excitedly, and the sorrow between his eyebrows disappeared in an instant. At the dinner, he saw a lot of delicious food, and he began to eat it in large quantities regardless of his image, not caring about the eyes of others at all.
Drinking too much and walking home, he staggered, still immersed in the joy of the dinner. The violin music was always playing back in his head, and he imitated it himself......
These few minutes of footage look very immersive, and you can feel the excitement of Wei Ruolai's leap from a poor student to a central bank employee, which is very real.
Although the original lines still need to be improved, Wang Yibo's performance in this new drama obviously exceeded expectations.
Let's talk about the heroine Li Qin.
The role of Shen Jinzhen is very challenging, and it often requires switching between two different faces.
In front of Shen Tunan, she is an obedient and well-behaved sister and the most beloved daughter in the family. She was a little surprised when she saw her brother keep Wei Ruolai by her side as an assistant, and then hurriedly persuaded her to investigate well.
When he carried out the task according to the instructions of his superiors, Shen Jinzhen looked like a well-trained agent again. Lurking on the roof of the building with a sniper rifle, paying attention to the enemy's every move, his eyes are cold and determined.
Li Qin's acting skills also exceeded expectations, and the portrayal of the role of Shen Jinzhen is commendable. Of course, the performances of the above two actors are not perfect, and there are still many flaws, especially in front of the powerful faction, which is slightly inferior.
02
"The Wind Chaser" brings together many familiar faces to the audience, and they are very strong, especially the following ones.
The first place, Wang Yang
Before starring in "The Wind Chaser", Wang Yang already had more solid experience in spy war dramas, and Shen Tunan played this time was more recognizable.
appeared in a black suit, with a bit of the momentum of a big guy. It is true that Shen Tunan is cautious, and he is full of praise when he sees Wei Ruolai, who has strong business ability.
A lot of things in the central bank seem to be under his control, and he occasionally smiles, but there are a lot of deep and even insidious things hidden.
When he saw someone rushing into the office and raising his hand to beat himself, he didn't flinch, looked at each other with cold eyes, and said his opinion word by word, at this moment, his aura instantly became powerful.
Wang Yang is very suitable for the role of Shen Tunan, and his acting skills are completely online.
second place, Yang Kun
As a drama bone, Yang Kun once again brought a textbook-level performance.
The Aunt Zhou she plays is also a woman who lives a careful life, and when she sees that the stock situation is very good, she is eager to try.
Then she asked Wei Ruolai to buy stocks with her, but who knows, the stocks she just bought fell and she lost more than 100 yuan.
Hearing that she had lost money, Aunt Zhou's face changed instantly, and she took Wei Ruolai's hand anxiously, not knowing what to do.
When she walked out of the trading floor, she couldn't control the sadness in her heart, and she cried directly, still talking about her money.
There is no trace of performance at all, and it is worthy of being an old drama bone.
third place, Wang Xueqi
In the play, Xu Nuo, played by Wang Xueqi, appeared on the scene, and his stern expression gave people a sense of inaccessibility, which looked very majestic.
The contrast is that every time he sees Shen Jinzhen, he always shows a very kind smile, and his tone of voice is a little gentle, and he doesn't seem to have a frame at all.
In the face of the big right and wrong, Xu Nuo is a very clear person, he knows what he should do, even if he is threatened, he is not moved at all.
As an elder with a deep old face, Xu Nuo is not only respected, but also quite organized, and in the transition of various states, he gives people a very pragmatic feeling.
The above three actors with good strength are impressive, and with vivid expression, they can add points to the whole drama.
Write at the end:
The drama "Wind Chaser" is unique in story design, placing spy warfare in the Republic of China and the financial field, which is a very fresh perspective.
Coupled with the interlocking plot and relatively tense rhythm, it's hard not to get into the play.
At present, there is more controversy about the male protagonist Wang Yibo, his acting skills are indeed a little green, and it is inevitable that there are not places in controlling the characteristics of the characters, and they still need to be improved.
Of course, the breakthrough and progress of young actors are worthy of recognition, although there are still many gaps in front of old actors and powerful factions, but the future is promising.
What do you think of Wang Yibo's acting skills?
