ranked the acting skills of the actors of "The Wind Chaser", and the 8 supporting roles supported the quality of the whole play, and it was not okay to be unconvinced

Unexpectedly, a "Wind Chaser" actually rewrote the trend of spy war dramas after the launch of the broadcast in recent years.

Why?

What is the usual trend of the broadcast of domestic spy war dramas in recent years?

"Wind Chaser" is good, the average rating of the latest Kuyun is 1.5161%, rising three times in a row.

The popularity of the Internet is also soaring.

Why?

starring Wang Yibo's popularity, Wang Yang re-acting in the spy war drama of the Republic of China, as well as good actors such as Wang Xueqi, Gao Lu, Yang Kun...

I don't think that's the most important thing.

The biggest reason is undoubtedly - there is finally a spy war drama that does what a spy war drama should do.

Before chasing the drama, I was worried about the quality of this drama, Wang Yibo's acting skills, the risks of financial spy war dramas, whether there would be too many emotional dramas and water injection into the plot.

However, by the time I watched 8 episodes, all my previous worries vanished.

There are no strange filters, no outrageous obedience, no endless love, and the IQs of the pros and cons have not dropped.

If I want to ask what I think about it now, I will say: this is a real "spy war drama".

Although it is not a traditional spy war drama, it is a rare financial spy war drama.

But the plot of the first eight episodes is compact, with ups and downs, Wei Ruolai and Shen Tunan walked step by step, every step was terrifying, and the atmosphere of spy warfare was directly full.

The financial line and the spy front are parallel, each with its own bright spots and conflicts, without dragging its feet.

The Shanghai financial exchange, alleys, street scenes, and people's lifestyles in the 30s in the series are also very in line with the times, and the Shanghai dialect of the actors is just right.

After chasing 8 episodes, I chased more and more, and found the feeling of chasing "Cliff" and "Kite" every night like a year. If spy war dramas are to be filmed like this, why worry about not having an audience.

Spy war dramas, in addition to plot and images, a key is of course acting.

A good performance may not produce a good spy war drama, but a good spy war drama must have outstanding group acting skills.

The following are the top ten acting skills in the whole drama in my heart, if the audience has become a "wind chaser", then their performance is the wind in the play.

10th place,

Li Qin

: Shen Jinzhen

The role of the heroine Shen Jinzhen is definitely the most serious one in her career among the heroines of spy war dramas in recent years.

As soon as the whole play opens, it is one of her rescue missions, after 8 episodes, she and the male protagonist have zero emotional scenes, and the two meet, either the female protagonist escapes by chance, or she almost falls into Lin Qiao's loose game.

Li Qin didn't perform much spy war dramas in the past, but he didn't expect his appearance to be very eye-catching, and he was wearing a red dress and a top hat in the last second, playing piano music at a banquet in high society.

The next second, he carried the guy up the tower to snipe.

As an actress who is recognized as relatively capable of acting in this Xiaohua, Li Qin's overall performance is not bad.

There is no shortage of emotions and tension that the characters should have. The enthusiasm for the revolution is also very strong.

But the disadvantage is that the performance is uniform, but not outstanding.

The role of Shen Jinzhen is a bridge connecting the male protagonist's master and apprentice, and he is also the key person who guides Wei Ruolai to make the right life choice, and the role is definitely not light.

At present, Li Qin has successfully completed the role, but I am looking forward to her being brilliant.

No. 9, Zheng Xingxing: Wen Biao

This is an extremely overlooked villain camp thug role, but the actor's performance is unexpectedly outstanding.

The character of Wen Biao and Lin Qiaosong are not only superiors and subordinates, but also brothers in life and death from Nanjing.

In the play, he conscientiously implements Lin's orders, takes his subordinates to kneel down whenever there is a problem, and occasionally talks with Lin, encouraging his boss to learn from President Jiang and chasing Miss Shen to death.

This character is ruthless enough, but with a hint of simple joy, especially his rivalry with Lin Qiaosong, which can be called one of the few comedy elements in the play.

can put a functional role, performance personality and memory points, I think first, the screenwriter Weng Liangping once again exerted the skill of group portrait shaping in "Ask the Boundless", and second, the actor played really well.

No. 8, Ma Yan: Deng Ze

Deng Ze, the head of the security department of the Kuomintang central bank, does not look like a bad guy, but like a conscientious bank technocrat.

Ma Yan, who has acted in many anti-Japanese war dramas in the past, has played this role that the audience may forget at first sight.

In the bank, he only looked at Shen Tunan, and in the opening scene of Shen Tunan's attack, he was embarrassed and frightened, and complained loudly, "We are just doing business, why do we shout and kill all day long, what are they doing." "Suddenly there is a bit of black humor.

In the trailer of episode 10, Shen Tunan was attacked on the way to the key central bank voting meeting and could not arrive at the final venue on time.

At the critical moment, he stared at Deng Ze and asked him to help him endorse his master.

Deng Ze thought for a moment and steadied his position.

Although the protagonist is not him, and the highlight is not him, every reaction of the actor is extremely accurate, and if the spy war drama does not have these licorice actors, it will not have that taste.

No. 7, Wang Yibo: Wei Ruolai

Unlike the comments of some audiences, I think Wang Yibo's performance this time is not bad, and the performance has made a lot of progress.

In fact, at the beginning, I was also worried that Wang Yibo's acting skills would lag behind.

But after watching 8 episodes, Wang Yibo proved himself with his performance, not only did he not lag behind, but also had a lot of highlight shots.

The ratings also proved Wang Yibo's performance: if you only rely on fans, and Wang Yibo's acting skills are a mess, then the series should be the peak of the premiere, because the explosiveness of fans is concentrated in the opening, passers-by can't watch it, and the ratings will only fall.

And now that the ratings are rising all the way, it proves that passers-by and viewers are not only not leaving, but are still entering the pit.

Wei Ruolai is probably the weakest one among the male protagonists of spy war dramas in recent years, Lin Nansheng in "Rebel" is a student of the special training class for cadres of the Fuxing Society.

And Wei Ruolai graduated from night school, if it weren't for Shen Tunan's emphasis on real talent and learning, he would never have been able to enter the Kuomintang Central Bank.

So the character was submissive at the beginning, wearing torn socks on his feet, wrinkled clothes, and a kind of poor boy's youthful embarrassment, but with ambition, Shen Tunan loved his talent, and saw his young self more from him.

In the first eight episodes, Wang Yibo had two best scenes.

One sorrow, one joy.

The joy is that he was specially recruited by Shen Tunan, he was drunk, and when he saw his good brother coachman, the whole person leaned on the other party, spread out the bank's admission letter, and read it to his brother word by word. The mood and performance details are right.

The sad thing is the scene where my brother sacrifices.

Brothers reunited after a long absence. Unexpectedly, it was the day when my brother "Lone Star" died.

"Lone Star" was betrayed by a traitor, his life hung by a thread, and he saw his brother in one breath.

When Wei Ruolai saw that it was his brother, he was about to complain, but when he took a closer look, he was so shocked that his face turned pale and tears fell, and when he heard his brother explain the joint matter to him, he begged his brother to go to the hospital quickly, while covering his brother's wound with his hand in a panic, and finally he was so anxious that he almost cried.

In the end, "Lone Star" died, he hugged his brother and cried, and his eyes were still swollen the next morning.

I think Wang Yibo's overall performance is impeccable, which also shows his ability to shape characters.

At present, there are still two hurdles in Wang Yibo's performance, one is that his expression is not rich enough, and the other is that his life is not enough, and the traces of acting are still relatively heavy.

But his lines have improved a lot, his facial expressions are in place, the characteristics of the characters have been grasped, and the explosive scene is the icing on the cake.

Director Yao Xiaofeng said that after setting Wang Yibo, he began to revise the script according to Wang Yibo's characteristics.

also said that he felt that Wang Yibo himself was very similar to Wei Ruolai, relying on his strength to break into the world step by step, not lying flat, and always trying to transform.

Looking at it now, the spy war genre is really Wang Yibo's blessed land, after "No Name" hit a new high at the box office of spy war films in recent years, "The Wind Chaser" may be about to create a new high in the word-of-mouth popularity of spy war dramas in recent years.

No. 6, Liu Tingzuo: Li Shengda

An unexpectedly brilliant supporting role.

Liu Tingzuo is a low-key and powerful faction, a spy war type, and he has played the yin in "Feng Qi Longxi" directed by Lu Yang.

He is a very typical actor who is good at using skills, and knows what kind of emotions to react and move.

In this play, he played Li Shengda who rebelled at the beginning, so his performance was always pressed, like a chameleon.

In front of "Lone Star", he is a calm and experienced joint agent.

In front of Lin Qiaosong, he was cautious and flattering.

In front of Wei Ruolai, he is an actor who pretends to be a lone star's best friend and takes the secret of gold bars.

Lin Qiaosong was not a fool, he sensed a hint of something wrong from his reaction, and during the questioning, Li Shengda still deliberately concealed the gold bar information he got from Wei Ruolai.

In the face of doubts, he used all his strength to squeeze out a smile, and finally passed the test smoothly, which also laid the groundwork for Xu Nuo's rape.

In all the roles of the role, he is always playing.

The most exciting scene was that he finally got the key to the vault from Wei Ruolai, and the whole person smiled happily and took the initiative to hug Wei Ruolai. It's too deep into the play.

Although he is just a traitor character, he has the ability to drag the audience in with his very accurate and thoughtful performance.

No. 5, Wang Xueqi: Xu Nuo

Wang Xueqi is in this position, not because he is not good at acting.

He's lined up here, it's just that his role is too functional and the space to play is limited.

But a first-class actor like Wang Xueqi will try his best to design some small actions for the character to assist the performance and enhance the persuasiveness of the role.

As the person in charge of the underground party in Shanghai, he has the demeanor of a general in every gesture, calm and sophisticated, and lifts weights like light.

It is worth mentioning that in the scene where the heroine failed to rescue her comrades, no one was saved, and the comrades of the Shanghai underground party were killed and wounded.

Shen Jinzhen was extremely excited and blamed himself loudly, while Xu Nuo, who was in a heavy mood, just quietly bandaged the heroine's wounds.

This design is very ingenious and enhances the behavioral logic of the whole character, first of all, as the head of the underground party, he can't lose control of his emotions like the heroine.

Secondly, bandaging is a kind of cover-up, Xu Nuo is not without sadness, but he can't mess up.

Generally, the more complex and difficult the role is, the more it can reflect Wang Xueqi's acting strength.

He is as steady as Mount Tai at times, and his face does not change in "The Siege of Ten Sides".

Sometimes thunderous, in "Under the Inhuman", the opponent is scared.

In "The Wind Chaser", his acting skills are still delicate and elegant, and he has lived up to the audience's expectations. I just hope he has more room to play in the future.

No. 4, Gao Lu: Su Cishu

In the past, Gao Lu mostly played the role of a wicked girl like the scheming concubine Lin Xiaoniang in "Know or Not".

I didn't expect Su Cishu, who plays the gentle and virtuous lady in this play, to be so right.

Su Cishu is Shen Tunan's wife and a popular Shanghai movie star with poor acting skills.

Gao Lu completely performed the style of the old Shanghai beauty, cheongsam with white wool shawl, proper ladylike feeling, gentle and dignified, modern and gentle.

The first eight episodes didn't leave enough room for Gao Lu's performance, but she still accurately captured every appearance of the character.

Her best performance is in the off-string sounds.

As Shen Tunan's wife, she always stands quietly by her husband's side, but every change in her eyes and expression shows the thoughts of the characters.

For example, at the dinner table, Shen Tunan arranged to go back to his hometown to see the old man, and he showed a look in his eyes and realized that something was wrong, but he didn't ask questions in front of his daughter.

It wasn't until the two were alone that she forced her husband to tell the truth.

From the tone of speech to the body movements, they are full of scheming.

On the surface, she seems to be the woman behind Shen Tunan, a movie star, but the audience always feels that the identity of this character is different.

This is the aftertaste of the spy war drama performance.

3rd place,

Zhang Tianyang

: Lin Qiaosong

The most amazing performance is Zhang Tianyang.

Although he performed well in "Sword in the Snow" and "Splendid Stars" in the past, this time he played the villain Lin Qiaosong, who really showed his strength.

Lin Qiaosong, as the captain of the inspection team, was fierce and vicious as soon as he appeared, and he decisively used hostages as meat shields in the face of snipers, with an ugly face.

But the further down the play, the less the character looks like a simple villain.

First of all, Captain Lin's level makes people sweat for us.

Meticulous observation, meticulous as dust, good at reasoning, and with an eagle dog intuition, he stared at the male protagonist from the beginning, and the comment area said that "the villain has a long brain".

But he is not an emotionless tool man, and he will do whatever it takes to deal with our berserk, but he has a love for his own brother, and he is not bad at his subordinates.

The most exciting thing is the scene where he goes to the bank to arrest the male protagonist and eats deflated.

Playing against him were Wei Ruolai and Shen Tunan.

The other party is one in the light and the other in the dark, he is a dozen two.

In this scene, Zhang Tianyang acted extremely delicately, and the emotional transformation was smooth.

At the beginning, facing Shen Tunan, there was humility and respect in his tone, but he was not relenting.

He originally thought that he was nine out of ten, and when he tightened his pockets step by step, he showed a little smugness.

Unexpectedly, Wei Ruolai had already thought of a countermeasure, and gave him a salary draw, plus Shen Tunan was dedicated to protecting the calf, so he directly came to fight back on the spot, and the master and apprentice joined forces, which made Captain Lin extremely embarrassed.

Zhang Tianyang's voice was low at first, with helplessness, and then raised the volume in the face of Wei Ruolai, and vented to his hands after eating, without too much shaking and change in facial muscles, but perfectly performed the hysteria of the character after eating deflated.

The character of Lin Qiaosong, although his actions and means make people gnash their teeth, can never make people hate him 100%, perhaps because he has his own pathos in the role, but he is just a small character who struggles to survive in troubled times and wants to live a good life with his brothers.

So the scene where Kang Ye whipped him actually made the audience feel pity.

Because he performed the human flavor of the characters, not just the villain of the tool man, it is not exciting.

No. 2, Wang Yang: Shen Tunan

A netizen commented: The "Uncle Drag" in the spy war drama is really Wang Yang's ruling area.

Indeed, Wang Yang played his usual level, and his performance was relaxed and full of aura.

But I think Wang Yang is dazzling as soon as he acts in a spy war drama, and there is a more important quality - tone.

Whether it is the Shanghai stationmaster in "Rebel", or the Shanghai financial tycoon in this play, in his hands, they are all ironed with this unique flavor.

What is tone?

After an assassination, although Shen Tunan was a little embarrassed by the bombing, he calmly reasoned: the other party panicked.

He was the one who was bombed, but he seemed to have calculated the layout at every step.

Although there is thunder in his heart, his face is like a peaceful lake, it is an aura and a decent one.

There are also a few times when they are strategizing in financial wars, and they all play the self-confidence of the characters and the city government in place.

As soon as Wang Yang appears, his powerful aura will immediately improve the spy war temperament of the whole play.

To put it bluntly, spy war dramas, if there are not a few such ruthless characters, how boring it is.

But Wang Yang can play different roles in a consistent tone.

Shen Tunan is not Chen Moqun.

This difference, on the one hand, is reflected in the attitude towards his subordinates, Chen Moqun uses all his subordinates, and Lin Mosheng is the same.

Shen Tunan has a kind of old fatherly love for Wei Ruolai.

In the face of the menacing Lin Qiaosong, he defended Wei Ruolai in every possible way, and was anti-customer-oriented, from his eyes to his facial muscles to his body movements, delicate and expressive.

The last sentence is directly "If he is really a communist...... I'll take it ".

This kind of thing regardless of gains and losses, Chen Moqun will not do it, Shen Tunan will do it.

Because he not only cherishes talents, but also believes that in the rotten Kuomintang financial system, Wei Ruolai is an idealist like him.

This is also the biggest charm of Shen Tunan's villain, he is not a bad guy, just the opposite, Shen Tunan's reform of Shanghai's finance is not for personal gain, but for the people.

When Mr. Song said on the phone, "Shang Ying, Wang Anshi, and Zhang Juzheng all did not end well", he said that he put life and death out of the way.

Wang Yang acted extremely delicately in this scene, with unwillingness and arrogance in his tone. There is a big emotional outburst, but it is not hysterical, which reflects his open-mindedness and determination as a financial elite.

However, such a financial talent who pinned his hopes on the internal reform of the Kuomintang was destined to end in tragedy, and his choice and position also laid the groundwork for the future break between master and apprentice.

Shen Tunan, who is both good and evil, is very emotional, Wang Yang's performance is definitely of a high level, and I conclude that he will be out of the circle again this time.

No. 1, Yang Kun: Aunt Zhou

Yang Kun's good in this is not the specific good in a certain performance, but the unity of the character's temperament in the whole play.

She performed a unique taste, which is the taste of Shanghai alley people.

In recent years, domestic spy war dramas have various shortcomings, one of which is that they are holding high and fighting high, blindly reversing, but they lack the delicate life flavor of "Latent" and "Cliff".

In "The Wind Chaser", Aunt Zhou, the male protagonist of Qibao Street played by Yang Kun, is responsible for the part of market life, which is quite well completed.

There is no strong dramatic conflict in her, and the more bland she is, the more difficult it is to find a grip.

But Yang Kun's grasp is to bring the life of Shanghai's small citizens to life.

At the beginning, Aunt Zhou followed the male protagonist to the exchange to speculate in stocks, Wei Ruo came to see the clue and asked her to throw it quickly, but she watched the stock price rise, killed her eyes, and didn't throw it away, and finally lost miserably.

was so angry that he shook off the male protagonist's hand all the way.

But the next day, the male protagonist went to the interview, and she still put her husband's decent coat on Wei Ruolai.

The philistines and sentiments of the small citizens are there.

Yang Kun performed well in two places, one in terms of identity and the other in terms of human feelings.

Later, Wei unexpectedly entered the central bank, she first asked the male protagonist to set up the news, and after being rejected, she asked the male protagonist to help his cousin with business.

also said, just as Aunt Zhou owes you a personal favor.

After a set of stalking, this character came to life in an instant.

Director Yao Xiaofeng used a lot of shots to shoot an old Shanghai, and as soon as the whole play opened, he used a long shot to follow the male protagonist around Qibao Street, selling food, pulling rickshaws, and drying clothes.

But the greatest human touch must come from people.

The taste of life is difficult to act, it is embarrassing to act, and the audience can't experience it if you don't play it. Yang Kun played the little people's little joy and hard-hearted softness.

Wang Yang's uncle circle is wonderful, but the increasingly scarce sense of life in this domestic spy war drama is even more precious.

Write at the end

Seriously, I never expected that the spy war drama 2023 will be a spy war drama in which you will sing and I will appear, which will be lively for a whole year, and it will also disappoint the audience for a whole year.

As a result, as soon as 2024 opened, "Wind Chaser", which took the lead, played a trump card.

The various highlights of the episodes can be experienced by the audience themselves.

Narrative images, each with its own exquisiteness.

The climate of the times is changing, and the relationship between the characters is foggy.

The financial spy war between a pair of masters and apprentices reflects a more complex situation.

In the details of the performance, there are too many contrasts and surprises worth savoring.

But in the final analysis, it was the series that finally kept up with the audience's aesthetics and did not fool the audience.

This is the root of the rising popularity of the series, and Jiang Wen has already made it clear on "Round Table Pie":

"Give someone something nice to eat, and he will remember the respect you used to have for people."

spy war drama, the audience hasn't eaten good for too long, and finally there is a "Wind Chaser", which respects the audience well.

In addition to the financial spy war, it also describes a picture of all living beings in Shanghai in the 30s.

There are our agents who sacrifice themselves, and there are also people who are greedy for life and afraid of death, and they just want to escape with 20 gold bars and fall into prison.

There are financial elites within the KMT who have tried to reform and save people's livelihoods, but they are doomed to failure.

There are also boys who break into the beach because of fate, break through the wind and waves, and chase the wind in the snow.

On the back side of every choice, there is a struggle of human nature.

These little people, who have been lost in the dust of history, tell us what it means to be a coward and what a hero is.

also wrote down the odds for the domestic spy war drama in 2024.

In front of a truly decent spy war drama, the audience is the one who chases the wind.

I hope this gust of wind will continue to blow and not stop.
