"Bank executives, the most important thing is to withstand the temptation"
"This white shirt, as long as you come out to socialize, there is nothing that is not dirty"
The former is an admonition, the latter is reality.
The two lines in the trailer of "A City within a City" instantly caught my attention.
This big drama is finally here, tomorrow night the prime time of Yangyi will be broadcast, and Taochang will broadcast it simultaneously.
Bringing together He Wei, Wang Xiao, Wang Jinsong, Chen Jin and other acting masters, Teng Huatao, the winner of Magnolia Best Director, personally polished it, this set of teams is worth rushing.
The theme of "finance + workplace" and the surging of "shopping malls" have a strong drama in themselves, and "City in the City" also exposes the corrupt side of finance.
Power and money are traded, and officials protect each other.
Under the hearts of people, there are hidden mysteries.
The prelude to a financial puzzle is about to begin.
originally thought that "City in the City" could change the downturn of Chinese dramas and surpass the popularity of "Flowers" at the beginning of the year, but before it was broadcast, many viewers abandoned the drama.
What's going on here?
"Father-daughter love" spicy eyes, Yu Hewei wants to overturn?
"City in the City" also made the old mistake of domestic dramas - the emotional line between the protagonists.
Although the emotional line in this play has the effect of promoting the direction of the plot, the problem lies with the two actors-
Yu Hewei, Long Ni.
Let's talk about Yu Hewei first.
His acting skills are definitely among the best among Mesozoic actors, and he can easily get any role.
In "The Age of Awakening", Yu Hewei integrates Chen Duxiu's grand oath with the true emotions of ordinary people.
In "The Three-Body Problem", he perfectly interpreted Shi Qiang's vulgar and delicate complex character.
This time in the trailer of "City in the City", he played Zhao Hui with a strong aura, even with a smile on his face, but the sense of oppression in his eyes has not weakened at all, and he looks like a bigwig.
Yu Hewei's acting skills have never been questioned, but his appearance is not outstanding in the entertainment industry where handsome guys gather.
He looked old when he was young, not to mention that he is now 52 years old.
When he pursed his lips and smiled, his face was full of wrinkles, crow's feet were piled up like fat, his skin was rough, and his sense of age came up all of a sudden.
After losing the glamorous makeup, the old state is fully revealed, and the sloppy appearance is no different from that of an ordinary middle-aged man who is drunk.
But Zhao Hui is also an old fritter in the workplace, and there is nothing wrong with Yu Hewei playing this role.
Let's talk about Lonnie.
The audience is no stranger to this name, she is the actor of Gao Qilan in "Hurricane".
As an adult, Gao Qilan is gentle and generous, fades away from the innocence of a girl, has exquisite makeup, and has a full aura after wearing gold-wire glasses, and she is very temperamental when she casually scatters her hair.
In the new play, Lonnie's appearance is very similar to "Gao Qilan", and the same gold wire glasses make people dream back to "Hurricane".
Wearing a small fragrant coat is formal and elegant, the red long-haired royal sister is full of fan, walks with the wind, and is a proper strong woman in the workplace, which is too in line with the character design in the play.
These two people look at each other, and the suitability with the role is 100%.
But the director had to make up an emotional line for the two.
52-year-old Yu Hewei and 30-year-old Lonnie can play "father and daughter", and the painting style in the same frame looks like a rebellious daughter and a bad father.
The scene of them kissing passionately on the balcony inexplicably has a "sense of betrayal", the action of two people hugging their waists and hugging is not ambiguous at all, but it is like a cheating scene.
But if Yu Hewei is younger or Lonnie is older, the two may still be able to spark a little in the play, and this "father-daughter love" is really unbearable.
The old cow eats tender grass, one against the other
In addition to "City in the City", there are many outrageous CPs in Chinese dramas, regardless of age, appearance or not, shoehorning the emotional line, and not taking into account the audience's feelings at all, just like the following.
The first pair, Wang Yang and Li Landi.
In "All the Way to the Sun", 46-year-old "Uncle Circle Tiancai" Wang Yang fell in love with 24-year-old Li Landi.
Wang Yang has the charm of a mature man, and it is simple to say that he looks old, and the folds on his face are obvious without a smile, and it is even more disastrous when he laughs.
Li Landi's baby face is very small, she is completely the girl next door, pure and sweet.
Even though the director gave Li Randi a very old makeup in order to bring out the CP sense of the two, when the two were in the same frame, there was still a sense of déjà vu that an old father sent his daughter to marry.
The age difference is not something that can be easily hidden.
The second pair, Li Yitong and Chen Jianbin .
Everyone else is "father-daughter love", these two are "grandson love", who made Chen Jianbin too anxious.
I couldn't believe it for a while, Chen Jianbin is only 53 years old this year, and the audience will not doubt that he is a 63-year-old old man.
When Chen Jianbin was 50 years old, his partner Li Yitong, who was 20 years younger, starred in "Don't Think Too Much If You Love Me".
A fat head with big ears, a distorted figure, and a greasy "old man's smell" all over his body. The other was full of green faces, like a student who didn't understand the world.
When I saw Chen Jianbin "kissing his face", five words immediately flashed in my mind: the old cow eats tender grass.
Outrageous to the point where passers-by want to call the police.
The third pair, Jiang Wenli and Ming Dao.
Wen Li girl eats very well, she played a middle-aged woman when she was young, and when she got older, she made up for the regrets of her youth and began to act in idol dramas, and in the end, only the audience was left who suffered.
Jiang Wenli originally had a mature appearance, and as she grew older, the wrinkles and sagging skin on her face were obvious.
Although Ming Dao is not young anymore, he is very small when he stands with Jiang Wenli, and the various pulls between the two make the audience sick to their stomachs.
Where is this middle-aged people's love, it is obviously an outrageous "mother-son love", Jiang Wenli finished this play, and it was also "not guaranteed in the evening", and the popularity of passers-by was gone.
Epilogue:
The outrageous casting in the national drama, I don't know how good the drama has been ruined, but the director of the national drama still doesn't have a long memory, how to hunt for curiosity.
Now it's the turn of City within a City again.
Yu Hewei and Lonnie's love with a 30-year-old difference really makes the audience stumble, the two are not the same painting style at all, let alone a sense of CP.
Aside from these, "City in the City" has the potential to be a hit.
In the play, there are not only the counterattacks of the characters, the struggles in the workplace, but also the foggy financial cases, various elements are nestled together, a complex game within a game, and the drama is full of reversals.
The actors of the play, from the protagonist to the supporting role, are all powerful factions recognized by the audience, and their acting skills are naturally guaranteed.
I don't know how the director handles the "father-daughter love" in order to make the plot seem reasonable.
