Unexpectedly, a "City in the City" actually rewrote the trend of urban dramas after the launch of urban dramas in recent years.
Why?
What is the usual trend of the broadcast of domestic workplace dramas in recent years?
"City in the City" is good, it is high and rampage, and the average rating of the latest Kuyun is 1.8825%, rising for four consecutive years.
The popularity of the Internet is also soaring. After chasing 9 episodes, I chased more and more, and found the feeling of chasing "Ideal City" every night for the New Year. If all financial dramas are filmed like this, why worry about having no audience.
Urban financial dramas, in addition to plots and images, a key is of course acting. A good performance may not produce a good financial drama, but a good financial drama must have outstanding group acting skills.
The following is the ranking of actors' acting skills in my heart, Yu Hewei is only fourth, Wang Jinsong is second, guess who will be the biggest winner?
Seventh place, Bai Yufan (as Tao Wuji)
Bai Yufan plays the male protagonist Tao Wuji in the play.
In this play, Bai Yufan has the most shots, and an average of one-third of the shots in each episode are on him. Such a large volume of shots is enough to make Tao Wuji's image more vivid and full, but Bai Yufan's performance is neither salty nor light, and there is always a feeling of "I'm just here to play".
Holding the letter of recommendation written by Dai Xing (played by Zhang Shen), Tao Wuji waited in the toilet, just to have a chance to show his face in front of Vice President Zhao Hui (played by Yu Hewei). The tension and entanglement that should have been performed here, as a small staff member seeing the tension of the boss's leadership, Bai Yufan could not show it at all.
Instead, he acted as a hunter waiting for the rabbit, holding the "token" and waiting for the other party to take it, standing stunned, without a little humility, relaxed posture, and no feeling of being a newcomer in the workplace at all.
Sixth, Feng Jiayi (as Su Jianren)
Feng Jiayi is actually a powerful faction, after all, the Qiu Bizheng he played in "The Wind Blows in the Summer" is really too top.
In "City in the City", Su Jianren, played by Feng Jiayi, is another cute and charming villain.
In a scene where he confessed to Zhou Lin (played by Lonnie), Su Jianren carried out the stalking offensive, confessed affectionately to Zhou Lin, and looked up at the moonlight outside while talking, and his emotional eyebrows and eyes were full of love.
This character is affectionate enough, but with a hint of simple joy, especially the sentence "Don't leave tonight" that he mutters with his eyes closed, which can be called one of the few comedy elements in the play.
can show the charm of the character's personality, performance personality and memory points in a limited scene, I think Feng Jiayi's character shaping ability has been perfected.
Although it is ranked second to last, it does not mean that Feng Jiayi's acting skills are not good enough, but because the actors in front of her are stronger.
fifth, Tu Songyan (as Xie Zhiyuan)
Xie Zhiyuan, a character who is not a traitor or a businessman, looks honest and responsible, but he is a rare profiteer.
Tu Songyan in the play, just a push of glasses makes the audience feel like "what is he holding back".
In the scene where Zhao Hui scolded Xie Zhiyuan and said that the teacher's death was inseparable from him, Xie Zhiyuan's expression was firm, and he defended himself sentence by sentence, which was reasonable and well-founded, and shirked the responsibility for the whole thing.
And when Zhao Hui finished saying, "I didn't sue you, you just have fun, I won't cooperate with you for the rest of my life", and drove away, we came to see Xie Zhiyuan's expression, ruthless, vicious, and looked at Zhao Hui's car with hatred, and his eyes seemed to penetrate the window and go straight to Zhao Hui.
In this scene, Tu Songyan revealed the nature of the poor boy who became a profiteer after the counterattack, wearing an innocent skin, doing a two-headed business, even if he indirectly killed his teacher, he had no remorse, and the emotional explosion at this moment was too strong.
fourth place, Yu Hewei (as Zhao Hui)
Yu Hewei is in this position, not because he is not good at acting. It's just that his character is too functional and the plot development is too slow, so Yu Hewei has not been given real room to play.
However, Yu Hewei, as one of the leading actors, under a large number of shots, his explosive acting skills have also contributed countless highlight clips to "City in the City". Let's take the plot of yesterday's latest update.
Thinking that something had happened to Dai Bank, Zhao Hui, as the second-in-command of the branch, could be promoted logically, but he didn't expect a parachuted president to break all his hopes.
The daughter who is gradually blind, the high medical expenses, the deceased teacher and the house that can't be saved, Zhao Hui has too many grievances in his heart, and these sadness erupts at the moment when he sees his "dead wife" after being drunk.
I thought that Yu Hewei, who was already at the level of an uncle, would be very greasy in crying scenes, but I didn't expect it to look like a child. is not a hoarse cry, but the guilt of his deceased wife and his unwillingness to fail, the red eyes and the corners of the mouth are deflated, and there is sadness that makes the audience empathize.
In fact, drunkenness is just a cover-up, Zhao Hui is not unable to tell who the person in front of him is, but he is really aggrieved in his heart. Generally, the more complex and difficult the inner emotions of the characters are, the more they can reflect Yu Hewei's acting strength.
In "A City Within a City". His acting skills are still delicate and elegant, and he lives up to the audience's expectations. But I'm looking forward to Zhao Hui's explosive performance after Zhao Hui is blackened.
third place, Wang Xiao (as Miao Che)
To be honest, as soon as Miao Che played by Wang Xiao appeared, it made me feel bright. He has a "righteousness" in him, and after putting on a suit, his iron-faced selflessness as an auditor is immediately revealed.
The first 9 episodes left Wang Xiao with not enough performance space, but he still accurately grasped every appearance of the character. Wang Xiao's most wonderful performance lies in the sound outside the strings.
As an auditor, Miao Che had mixed feelings when he experienced the death of his teacher and the possibility of disciplinary violations. And this heavy mood is manifested in eating without saying a word at the dinner table.
When Xie Zhiyuan said the sentence "Dai Xing obviously did a good deed, this is not clear, he is dead", Miao Che's eyes immediately locked on him, his expression was meaningful, but he did not ask directly at the dinner table.
But after the dinner, when he was alone with Zhao Hui, he forced Zhao Hui to tell the truth.
From the tone of speech to the body movements, they are full of scheming. On the surface, he seems to only care about the truth behind it, but the audience always feels that this character's expression has something else. This is the aftertaste of Wang Xiao's performance.
second place, Wang Jinsong (as Wu Xianlong)
I don't think I need to say much about Wang Jinsong's acting skills, as a national first-class actor, he can completely break away from makeup and only rely on performance to shape character changes.
Wang Jinsong portrayed Wu Xianlong as a "good big brother" with flesh and blood, two sides and three knives.
The moment he appears on the camera, you will be pulled directly into the play, Wang Jinsong's down-to-earth performance style makes the whole story vivid. What touched me the most was the scene where Zhao Hui persuaded his daughter to treat her illness.
Looking at Zhao Hui, who was secretive about his daughter's condition, Wu Xianlong just looked at his expression and made tea unhurriedly.
This design is very ingenious and enhances the logic of the behavior of the whole character, first of all, Wu Xianlong, as a good big brother on the surface, can't use straightforward words to pull Zhao Hui into the gang. Secondly, making tea is a kind of cover-up, in the face of Zhao Hui's situation, Wu Xianlong is not without ideas, but he can't mess up and let Zhao Hui see the clues.
In this scene, Wang Jinsong acted extremely delicately, and his emotional transformation was smooth. He played the human flavor of the character, not just the villain of the tool man, which is not wonderful.
The first, Chen Jin (as Teacher Ouyang)
Chen Jin's good in the drama "City in the City" is not a specific performance, but the unity of the character's temperament in the whole play. She performed a unique taste, which is the human touch of being a teacher.
Teacher Ouyang, played by Chen Jin, is responsible for the part of guiding Zhao Hui's inner path, and she has done it quite well. Chen Jin does not have a strong dramatic conflict, the more bland it is, the more difficult it is to find a grip. And her grip is the silent crying scene of moisturizing things.
In the trailer, it was learned that her husband, who had been honest and honest all his life, really had serious violations of discipline before he died, and Mr. Ouyang faced the repentant Zhao Hui, but what he saw was the portrait of his husband. The expression is sad and the tone is heavy, different from Yu Hewei's crying scene, Chen Jin's crying scene is a grief that goes deep into the bone marrow.
obviously doesn't have much expression, but he can still accurately discover the emotional changes in the characters' hearts, which is called acting, and he is worthy of being a powerful person who won the double film.
epilogue
"City within a City" is a feast of acting for the audience. Several big names in the play are on the same stage, tempting, confronting, and fighting wits and courage, which is simply not too exciting.
Even some small supporting roles, 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.
Financial dramas, the audience hasn't eaten good for too long, and finally there is a "City in the City", which respects the audience well.
At present, the show is still being updated, and new characters will appear in the future, so let's wait and see!
However, the above rankings are all subjective judgments, I believe everyone has their own acting list in their hearts, I don't know which actor you think can be ranked first?
