Unexpectedly, in 2024, financial dramas will stand out from many themes of domestic dramas!
"Flowers" and "Wind Chaser" present the fate of the little people affected by financial fluctuations in the context of the big era from different angles.
And the current hit drama "City in the City" has once again painted a strong stroke on this theme.
The plot is more focused on showing the game between the bigwigs.
Officials protect each other, officials and businessmen collude, and the addition of anti-corruption elements has greatly improved the scale.
In the latest plot, Zhao Hui was anxious to treat his daughter, and he also stepped into the pit dug for him by Wu Xianlong step by step.
Once interests and favors are involved, I am afraid that Zhao Hui will also face the situation that his master Dai Xing once was.
On the other hand, the contradiction between Tian Xiaohui and Tao Wuji also began to take shape.
In order to gain a firm foothold in the company, the former abandoned his principles and took his colleagues to fill the hole of misappropriation of loans, which will presumably become the fuse for their breakup in the future.
And as the plot is updated, the story is getting more and more exciting, and the actors' performances also add luster to this drama.
01 The acting skills of the drama bones exploded
"A City in the City" reflects the lineup of star dramas on CCTV, and a group of powerful actors came to play, and the audience is really blessed.
And in my opinion, three of these actors have the most deeply rooted performances.
The first place, Yu Hewei.
Zhao Hui played by him in the play, his original heart was gradually swallowed up by financial interests and desires, and such a villain should have made people angry.
But Yu Hewei played the helplessness and sadness of the role.
In order to treat his daughter's illness, Zhao Hui tried his best, and when he learned that the condition had a chance to be cured, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, smiling with tears.
Pity the hearts of parents all over the world.
But after learning that there was Wu Xianlong's intervention behind him, Zhao Hui's face was heavy.
Because he knew that if he made a mistake in this step, he might be waiting for him in the abyss.
On one side is a beloved daughter, and on the other side is his own principles.
If it were you, what would you choose?
Even viewers who have not encountered this situation can feel Zhao Hui's helplessness struggling between faith and reality.
The director found Yu Hewei and found the right person.
second place, Wang Xiao.
Wang Xiao's acting can always give the characters different charms.
Miao Che, who he plays in the play, doesn't talk much, but he is very principled.
When he heard that his old classmate deliberately used him as an excuse to beg Zhao Hui for help, he didn't speak, but shook his head with a smile, and expressed his refusal while eating.
Don't look at his introverted and deep personality in daily life, but he is ruthless at work, and his eyes are like knives during interrogation, as if he can see through everyone's disguise.
Wang Xiao's performance, one more point, too impetuous. One point less, not enough energy.
Only he can play Miao Che's uprightness, and I look forward to his follow-up rivalry with Yu Hewei.
third place, Feng Jiayi.
This is also a "gold medal supporting role", Su Jianren played by Feng Jiayi in the play, on the surface, he is a perverted embryo, and after seeing Zhou Lin, who looks like a goddess, he chose to confess without hesitation.
With his eyes shining and still saying earthy love words, he really played the middle-aged greasy literature clearly.
But this character is not only annoying and funny, but also deeply hidden, seeing Xie Zhiyuan's mouth, he knows what the other party wants to do, and the two people who smell like each other are like talking cross talk, and the words are routines.
Such a treacherous and cunning role was really played by Feng Jiayi to the fullest.
02 Failure drags its feet
A drama has good acting skills, but it will also have bad acting skills.
"City in the City" invited Lonnie to play the role of Zhou Lin, obviously planning to rub off on the popularity of the role of Gao Qilan in "Hurricane", and specially arranged for Lonnie to appear in the shape of glasses, which made the audience almost string the scene.
What's more, Lonnie's acting skills are terrible.
It's okay to be a "vase" when there are few scenes, but once too many scenes are arranged for her, the shortcomings of this drama will appear.
The role of Zhou Lin is Xie Zhiyuan's "trump card", and her appearance is seven points similar to Zhao Hui's ex-wife, obviously to make a "beauty plan".
But this face alone is definitely not enough, she also needs to show the advantage of being able to attract the attention of the big guy, after all, there are too many people who look similar, and Zhao Hui usually has absolutely no shortage of warblers and warblers around him.
It's a pity that Lonnie didn't perform Zhou Lin's character charm, she has a non-salty and non-salty expression on any occasion, her acting skills seem to be an AI robot, and her lines are not emotional, just like reading a text.
There are two scenes that impress me the most.
One was a candlelight dinner between Su Jianren and Zhou Lin.
Looking at his posture, in fact, everyone knows it in their hearts, this is to see Zhou Lin, and it is not surprising to confess to her.
But Zhou Lin's eyes rolled around, as if he had heard something unbelievable, this performance was too pompous, it really seemed that the robot had set up a performance program, and all of them reacted according to the regulations.
There is also a scene where she deliberately creates a chance encounter and meets Zhao Hui in the supermarket.
I have to say that Zhou Lin's "stealing" in this paragraph is so heavy!
She couldn't wait to write all her careful thoughts on her face, and her every move was too obvious, for fear that others would not know her careful thoughts.
Like this kind of extreme pull of the character relationship, it should be a style of painting where you come and go, and she plays like "green tea", if this little trick can really hold a vice president, it is too unconvincing, right?
Not only that, but there is a high-energy scene in the trailer.
The drunk Zhao Hui saw Zhou Lin's face, remembered his deceased wife, and expressed his grievances and thoughts for so many years through tears, and the performance made the audience feel sorry for him.
But as soon as the camera turned, Zhou Lin stared at her, with no expression at all, and her heart was completely unmoved, which made people play all of a sudden.
said that she acted like a robot, and it is estimated that the robot was not happy.
03 Conclusion
The lineup of "City in the City" can be regarded as among the best in the entire entertainment industry.
The acting skills of Yu Hewei, Wang Xiao and other Mesozoic actors in the play are obvious to all, and watching them play is a pleasure for the audience.
Although the performance of young actors Bai Yufan, Xia Meng and others is not as good as that of the actors, compared with the traffic actors, they can still see the solid skills of the professional actors.
In contrast, Lonnie, who is not from a professional class and does not have many masterpieces, can receive this script, and the resources are quite powerful.
But her acting skills are not worthy of such good resources, she is obviously a stunner type of character in the world, but she is actually played by mediocre.
In fact, when she didn't wear glasses, Lonnie's face was not much brilliant, and even the atrium was too long, and the audience complained that it was like "Yu Zhen", which was too crotch-pulling.
It can only be said that casting cannot only depend on popularity, but also on the strength of actors.
Gao Qilan is just an exception after all, and Lonnie's strength is still not too heavy, and she can't bear it.
So what do you think about this?
