God is always fair, and everyone who gains a little is also doomed to lose a part.
This sentence seems to be vividly reflected in "Chenghuan Ji", and these are all part of real life.
The heroine of the story, Mai Chenghuan, stumbles along the way, and she loses the love that has lasted for three years before she can meet true happiness.
Although her career has been full of ups and downs, she is luckier than anyone else. Inheriting Heungan-ri, her career is facing new challenges and has also reached a new level.
Parents' shortcomings, emotional disputes, and life troubles...... can find the corresponding part in "Cheng Huan Ji". This kind of expression is very human fireworks, and too many people in the audience are deeply trapped in the plot and can't extricate themselves. Perhaps, this is the charm of the work itself.
At present, the hottest drama is "Chenghuan Ji", except for "City in the City", which continues to lead in ratings and popularity. The "controversy" related to the work and the actors is endless......
Director Zhang Yimou said that it is a good phenomenon that a work is controversial.
Back to the original topic, the reason why good dramas are sought after is that in addition to the excellent script, the quality of the actors has become the determining factor.
One of the more controversies in "The Legend of Cheng Huan" is Xu Kai.
"It's so embarrassing, the acting is blunt. "Can you have some expressions" "Let's replace the male protagonist!" similar criticisms grabbed a lot in the Douban comment area.
One work, one character. This time, Xu Kai sounded the "alarm bell" to the domestic entertainment actors, and what Huang Bo said was finally believed.
01
The description of family relationships, emotions and other dimensions in "Cheng Huan Ji" is very real, and several powerful actors also make the plot come to life.
Liu Wanyu played by He Saifei is loving, but her love for her children is "suffocating".
After reading it, you will find that it is a common thing to hope that the girl will become a phoenix in today's real life, and the word should be the love from the elders and family.
Chen Shuzhen, played by Wu Yanshu, represents a state of "no quarrel with the world", calmly accepting everything that has happened, and being at peace when it comes.
Look at Mai Chenghuan played by Yang Zi, she is sober and independent, no matter what time she is, she always knows what she should do.
Re-acting.
How can young actors not be controversial, including Yang Zi.
A previous interview was impressive, and Yang Zi said frankly that she accepted all the criticism. When a new work is broadcast, the new role will be controversial, look at it dialectically, and the most important thing is to improve yourself.
It's like Mak Chenghuan.
Not long after the episode aired, some viewers came out and said that they looked like the previous characters, and nothing had changed. The acting is even a little regressive, and there are no surprises......
looked carefully and understood the character itself, only to find that Yang Zi was the character itself.
Some of the emotional dramas are handled the most motivating. When she saw Chen Shuzhen die, Mai Chenghuan was flustered, and she didn't know how to accept everything in front of her.
The bright eyes slowly filled with tears, and as the sadness spread little by little, these tears slowly fell down the cheeks.
There is not a single line, but the audience can really feel the sadness of the character at the moment.
Later, at the funeral, she saw her grandmother's kind words, and her emotions were out of control again, but she remembered that her grandmother said that she couldn't cry, and she endured it.
But when you hear those words, how can you not cry.
These two crying scenes were handled very delicately by Yang Zi, and the grasp of some small details was simply not too accurate. One of the things that is very successful is that her performance can capture people's hearts, make the audience cry, and feel the joys, sorrows and sorrows of the characters.
Such a performance can be considered a success.
Perhaps in some other episodes, Yang Zi's performance still has some flaws, but at least it will not affect the perception of the character, and it is not a state of collapse.
Yang Zi is good at choosing scripts, and even more casting.
02
The male protagonist Yao Zhiming's "character design" is sympathetic.
He experienced the pain of his original family, and he grew up with a cautious mentality, which also created a cold and somewhat self-protective style.
The inherent impression left by people is that it is cold and cold, and it seems to be difficult to approach. Whether it is at work or in life, this state has been maintained. I have watched too much, giving people the feeling that the actors are "acting", without any emotional twists and turns.
In fact, this is also a problem that Xu Kai has in shaping the role. At least there should be a switch between different emotions, just with a straight face, who can substitute?
From the image point of view, Xu Kai's external characteristics are indeed quite in line with the character of the domineering president, every time he appears, he is in a suit, full of spirit. Coupled with a tall posture, there is an aura when you go to that station.
But what the characters want is to be alive.
In a large number of clips in the play, Xu Kai's acting skills are relatively stiff, and there are basically not too many changes in his expression, giving people the feeling of being wooden.
Even if it was some shots that needed an emotional twist, he just frowned, and there was no more body language to render. With this stiff performance style, it is difficult to make the three-dimensionality of the characters more obvious.
It's the original lines that complain a lot, no matter what kind of situation it is, the lines Xu Kai said are weak, like reading them out from a book, where is the slightest feeling?
Every time he met Mai Chenghuan, Yao Zhiming had a straight face, said his lines unhurriedly, and didn't even know what he was playing.
There's one shot that's okay, but it's pretty short.
At Chen Shuzhen's funeral, Yao Zhiming listened to his grandmother's thoughts and teachings, his eyes slowly reddened, and tears filled his eyes......
But in the next second, this shot cut over. If you can present a crying scene of tens of seconds, the effect will naturally be different.
Now, the character of Yao Zhiming is facing so much controversy, and it is time for Xu Kai to reflect.
In previous works, Xu Kai's ancient costume was very passable, and his acting skills were also very flexible, but how to challenge the domineering president this time is still a bit regressive.
There is no problem in trying new roles, the key is to show acting skills, convince the audience, and add points to the plot, which is what an actor should do.
Previously, "actor" Huang Bo said in an interview:
Only by constantly trying, daring to fail, and daring to create a new image can it be more meaningful and interesting, and it is also the original intention of every literary and artistic worker.
But in the current film and television industry, some actors don't cherish their feathers after they have the so-called "traffic". Regardless of whether it is suitable for the role, I have to accept it, I just hope that the works can be a little more. This will create a very common phenomenon, with bad dramas one after another.
Write at the end:
"Chenghuan Ji" is indeed a work worth watching, although there are flaws, but it does not affect the drama.
Some of the more realistic clips run through the profound philosophy, some things seem to be happening around us, and we have learned how to better deal with and resolve them through the plot.
From the perspective of the workplace, whether it is Mai Chenghuan or Yao Zhiming, the firmness of the road ahead is worthy of learning from too many people.
But when it comes to acting, this time, Xu Kai also sounded the "alarm bell" for many young actors, love can be focused, and focus can be wonderful.
No matter what the role is, it should be taken seriously. Giving the character a whole new lease of life is the right choice.
