Preface
Have you ever been obsessed with those soul-saunting "mistress" images? Under the temptation of money and power, have you ever hesitated to cross your own moral bottom line? What kind of dark world is hidden behind the seemingly amorous amorous scenes? Let us appreciate the story of this "mistress" in the financial world.
初露锋芒
Lonnie, who has loved dancing since she was five years old, was born in an ordinary family in Wenzhou, Zhejiang.
At a young age, she showed extraordinary talent, and with the support of her family, she has always insisted on the persistent pursuit of dance.
Lonnie won the first Best Actress award for "The Taste of Love", officially starting her acting career.
Although it was only a small award, for her who was only 20 years old at the time, this was undoubtedly the greatest affirmation and encouragement for her efforts.
In the following years, Lonnie has been playing small supporting roles in major film and television dramas, although she is not well-known, her love for the profession of actor has never weakened.
Especially in the 2021 TV series "The Oath", she won a lot of praise for her excellent dancing skills and accurate grasp of the role.
However, what really made Lonnie famous was the hit drama "Hurricane" she starred in in 2023.
Although she doesn't have many roles in the play, she will attract attention with her cold and unique temperament every time she appears.
The role she played as Gao Qilan not only won her the "2023 iQiyi Scream Night Enterprising Actor of the Year" award, but also won her a small popularity in the entertainment industry.
After starring in "Hurricane", although Lonnie disappeared temporarily, she did not stop, but has been silently accumulating strength for her new work.
Metamorphosis struggles
In 2024, Lonnie will once again spark heated discussions with her new drama "City within a City".
The play tells a story that takes place in the financial circle, showing this seemingly glamorous world, but it also often hides a dark and dirty side.
In the play, Zhao Hui, played by He Wei, was originally a successful person with lofty principles and integrity in the financial industry.
He is a man of integrity, selflessness, rigor and responsibility, and is a highly respected elite figure in the industry.
But as the plot progresses, Zhao Hui falls into a path of no return, and finally degenerates into a pathetic character who is seduced by money and beauty.
He began to violate his own integrity, pursue selfish desires, and do all kinds of things out of line.
The reason why Zhao Hui embarked on this path is largely because he met a woman Zhou Lin (played by Lonnie) who looked like his late wife under the step-by-step calculation of his old classmate Xie Zhiyuan (played by Tu Songyan).
Zhou Lin's appearance constantly provoked the pain in Zhao Hui's heart, and the relationship between the two was out of control.
Lonnie plays a unique "mistress" image
Compared with the old actor Yu Hewei, the role of Zhou Lin played by the young actor Lonnie in the play is also one of the eye-catching focuses.
Zhou Lin, as a "mistress" image, her appearance is quite dramatic, she suddenly appeared in Zhao Hui's field of vision at President Dai's funeral, and her appearance looked like Zhao Hui's late wife, Zhao Hui was suddenly moved for a while.
After that, Zhou Lin took the initiative to approach and constantly tease Zhao Hui with the help of various "coincidences" and well-designed means, and finally succeeded in getting him to the bait.
She took advantage of Zhao Hui's psychological weakness to confuse him step by step for the camp, which undoubtedly carried some mistress-like methods and moral flaws.
But from another perspective, Zhou Lin's appearance reveals the dark side of the financial circle and the complex interests of the power struggle.
She is just a pawn of Xie Zhiyuan's cunning opponent, with the purpose of revenge on Zhao Hui.
Lonnie portrays this complex and multifaceted character with great skill.
She portrays Zhou Lin who is sometimes gentle and charming, sometimes revealing a shrewd and cunning temperament, and in her interaction with Zhao Hui, she will change her image anytime and anywhere, creating a strong sense of contrast.
However, reviewers also found that Lonnie was a little stiff in some sensual scenes, and there was also a sense of disobedience in the control of details such as makeup and styling.
This may have something to do with the fact that she still lacks a good grasp of this difficult role.
The group portrait of the powerful faction is eye-catching
In addition to Yu Hewei and Lonnie, the "old and young love" combination, there are many other eye-catching actors and characters in "City within a City".
For example, the dark and cunning financial tycoon Xie Zhiyuan (Tu Songyan), who constantly manipulates the direction of the entire plot through a series of conspiracies, and his "revenge" against Zhao Hui can be described as carefully designed and peeled off layer by layer.
His role is like the "black hand" of the whole plot, affecting everyone's fate.
Tu Songyan's interpretation of this role can be described as superb, portraying a sinister and cunning character with a deep city.
From his every look and micro-expression, you can feel that unsettling cold aura.
He was like a dormant panther in the night, ready to pounce and bite.
Another example is the playboy Su Jianren (played by Feng Jiayi) who wanders on the edge of the financial circle, and he shows that kind of presumptuous and straightforward gaze to Zhou Lin, which gives people an indescribable uneasiness.
Feng Jiayi plays this role vividly, making people seem to see the image of a rascal who is unscrupulous and full of foul language.
In addition, Shen Jing, a wise strong woman played by Yang Zishan, looks calm and wise on the outside, but in fact she also hides her dark side.
For example, she made such a means in order to avenge her husband's "betrayal", which is amazing.
Yang Zishan's control of this role is just right, which makes people see the wisdom and intelligence of modern women in the workplace, but without losing the softness and grace of traditional women.
The joining of these veteran actors has undoubtedly become a highlight of this play.
They are either old foxes in the circle, or cold-blooded and ruthless calculators, portraying every character vividly and leaving a deep impression on the audience.
It is precisely because of their joining that the quality of the whole drama has been greatly improved, and the plot is interlocking and suspenseful, attracting the attention of a large number of audiences.
The young actor is alone
In comparison, the performance of the other young actors in the play pales in comparison.
Take Bai Yufan, who plays the "protagonist" Tao Wuji, for example, failed to attract enough attention in the whole play, and the whole person's performance seemed bland and lacked enough highlights and charm.
In this regard, many viewers have lamented that there are general problems with the performance of young actors in domestic film and television dramas.
Many people's acting skills and aura are difficult to compare with senior veteran actors, even if they are already well-known actors, there is still a lot of room for improvement in detail control and character building.
This stark contrast between the performances of young actors and old actors undoubtedly sets off the outstanding performance of the powerful actors in "City in the City" more eye-catching.
It once again confirms that to truly become an excellent actor, it is not enough to have a beautiful face, temperament, connotation and ability to control the role are fundamental.
Potential and flaws coexist
Overall, although the role of "mistress" Zhou Lin in "City within a City" has won Lonnie a lot of attention, her performance is not flawless.
In some details and emotional expression, she still needs to be further improved.
However, the audience is also willing to give the young actor more tolerance and encouragement.
I believe that as long as Lonnie can study with an open mind and study diligently, she will be able to achieve more outstanding achievements in the future.
Her dazzling performance in "Hurricane" has proven that she is a potential actor with a promising future.
After all, navigating a role as complex and challenging as "Mistress" is a huge test for any actor.
Lonnie's courage to take on such a difficult challenge at such a young age is already a big improvement.
She still has a lot of room for improvement in the control of details, the embodiment of emotions and the three-dimensional character.
But it is precisely because of these flaws that people can see her potential and the infinite possibilities of the future.
If she can calm down and reflect on it, and learn from the shortcomings of this time, she will definitely be able to shine brightly.
As long as she continues to maintain this courage and determination for her career, I believe that one day she will be able to shine with more outstanding brilliance and write her own unique stroke in the film and television industry.
Let's wait and see!
epilogue
The world of finance, a seemingly glamorous world, often hides a dark and dirty side.
As reflected in "A City within a City", when the temptation of money and power comes, the degradation of humanity sometimes follows.
However, this drama also shows us something else worth reflecting on: the growth of an actor is not awkward, if you want to become an excellent artist, it is far from enough to rely on your appearance alone, temperament, connotation and control of the role are fundamental; Young people are not indifferent to Jegyz, as long as they have courage and determination, they will eventually shine in the future.
On the other hand, have we ever been confused by power, money, fame and fortune on the road of life and deviated from our original intention? Have we ever lost our original ethics for selfish desires? Let's humbly learn from those upright and selfless characters in "City within a City", inherit their righteousness, and extinguish the "fire" in our hearts.
Only in this way can we truly practice noble virtues and live a dignified and righteous life.
