Spy war dramas dominate the rivers and lakes!
It is very appropriate to use this sentence to describe the recent domestic drama market.
Except for CCTV's "City in the City", "Chenghuan Ji" and "Spring Lover", the prime time of the five David TV shows are all spy war dramas.
Three David TV is broadcasting "Harbin 1944", Hunan Satellite TV is broadcasting "When the Stars Shine", and Zhejiang Satellite TV is broadcasting "Wind Chaser".
The spy war drama has officially become the hard currency of domestic drama ratings.
And with the arrival of the summer, according to the convention, the Xianxia ancient puppet will rule the national drama again, and 85 flowers and small flowers are gone.
But I found that there was a former trump card of national dramas, but it was gradually forgotten by the audience and the market-
Urban drama.
This matter, I can't complain to the audience, I don't know where to pick it up, urban dramas have become synonymous with dog blood, catching horses, and levitation, and the audience steps into it, and it is all a pit.
But there are people who don't believe in evil.
CCTV + Noon Sunshine.
What? The long-awaited "Mortal Song".
According to the confirmed news, this 40-episode urban drama that has been completed is a project supported by the Beijing Municipal Bureau of Radio, Film and Television, and has entered the CCTV 2024 backup drama list.
The online platform has also been determined: Peach Factory.
The lineup is a little interesting.
starring, Wang Xiao + Yin Tao, yes, Wang Xiao finally played the male lead, the drama of the noon sun.
Supporting roles, Zhang Ruonan, Qin Junjie, Zhang Zhehua, Chen Haoyu. The strongest housekeeper is here, and the treasure Xiaohua who has become popular in variety shows is also here.
But the most interesting thing is the title of the play - mortal song.
The beginning is clear, no blood, no junior and third, just tell the story of ordinary people, someone watch?
Today, let's talk about it.
1: Story: No blood, no horses, no juniors, just a mortal song
"You and I are mortals, born in the world, running around all day long, and not being idle for a moment."
This passage is the opening of the lyrics of Li Zongsheng's "Mortal Song", and it is also the introduction that led me into the play.
Each of us came into this world with a cry. Relatives and friends congratulate, parents are happy and full of hope.
However, in life, when the fallen leaves return to the roots, even if your life is turbulent, you can't take away a point. Silent and dusty.
But the life of a mortal is by no means easy.
This drama is about the story of mortals.
The whole play takes the families and careers of many young and middle-aged people in Beipiao as the latitude and longitude, showing the cross-section of the lives of urban people under different circumstances.
Shen Lin, played by Yin Tao, is a housewife who gave birth to a second child.
Wang Xiao plays Shen Lin's husband, Lao Na, an executive who is based on loyalty in the family business.
is not only responsible for blocking alcohol, but also responsible for blocking fists.
With the support of Lao Na, Shen Lin became an "affordable" noblewoman, indulging in the quiet family life of the years, and occasionally remembering the glory of the previous workplace.
However, a series of changes in the old company forced the couple to start production to save themselves, and continued to make sharp turns in their respective jobs and careers.
The second child is waiting to be fed, the mortgage is approaching, and after Shen Lin frequently hit a wall on the road to return to the workplace, she chose to set up a stall to sell brine goods to achieve reemployment.
Lao Na's younger brother, the strongest housekeeper, Long Aotian, ah no, is Na Jun played by Zhang Zhehua, who has become a top social animal in seconds this time.
A programmer with an annual salary of one million.
In the face of the company's pressure, I also made a life plan before the age of 35, changing a big house, getting married, having children, and getting promoted.
But the money is not so easy to earn, this time his leader is not Liu Boer at a glance, otherwise how could he be destroyed like this, because of the intensity of work, he suffered from panic disorder.
and Zhang Ruonan's girlfriend who refuses to work overtime is in jeopardy.
The heroine's younger brother played by Qin Junjie is not so volatile, a graduate of a prestigious school, and chooses a calm and waveless job.
Life was originally very stable, but the wife played by Chen Haoyu chose to divorce because she was dissatisfied with his content with the status quo.
In the end, he chose to self-exile and went to Zhongnan Mountain to live in seclusion.
The English translation of "Mortal Song" is called "Born to be the One". In my simple English level, this translation into Chinese should roughly mean to become a unique you.
Indeed, it is not easy for everyone to live, everyone is a unique mortal, and even troubles will not be the same.
The reason why I want to say this is because "the confusion of mortals" is the biggest story core of "Mortal Song", a new work of noon sunshine.
"Work is all about enjoying life". "How can you enjoy life without money?"
In life, each has its own hopes and attachments, and each has its own difficulties and struggles.
The main characters in the play include BMW executives and electric donkey workers.
But whether they go with the flow or are mavericks, these are ordinary people who have to support their families.
Compared with the dog blood of most urban dramas, reality is the biggest feature of this drama.
As the title of the show says, mortal songs.
2: Lineup: Yin Tao and Wang Xiao lead the 7 powerful actors
This is a "pure" work of the noon sun.
Friends who like to chase dramas must have heard a sentence: Produced at noon, it must be a high-quality product.
Born from the noon sun of "Mountain Shadow", many popular masterpieces have been produced over the years.
For example, "Langya Bang", "The Pretender", "Ghost Blowing the Lamp: The Essence of the Ancient City", "Mountains and Seas" and so on.
Even if the aura has weakened in recent years, the bottom line of the noon sunshine drama is still very high, and it is possible to miss, but the bad drama will never come from the hands of the noon sunshine.
And the director of this "Mortal Song", Jian Chuanzhi, is the assistant director of "Breaking through the Guandong" and "The Line of Life and Death", and independently directed "Good Guys" starring Zhang Yi and "It's All Good" starring Yao Chen and Ni Dahong.
The screenwriter is Ji Jingrong, the original author of the novel, her last hit novel was adapted into last year's CCTV dark horse drama, "If Running Is My Life".
Urban emotional dramas with mortal inspirational are obviously her forte.
With the unique perspective of a female writer and screenwriter, she will also bring a different color to the work of Noon Sun, who is good at men's play.
Let's talk about the starring.
First, Wang Xiao.
Only in the drama of the noon sunshine can Wang Xiao play the male lead.
But no one will say that Wang Xiao's acting skills are not good. He is the type that looks ordinary at first glance, but the more you look at it, the more flavorful it becomes, and his acting skills are particularly convincing.
In the past two years, from "Feng Qi Longxi", "The Big Exam" to "County Party Committee Compound", no matter the size of the role, his performance is very eye-catching, and "Hurricane" is a work in which his acting skills are relatively poor.
In the CCTV drama "City in the City", Wang Xiao played a type of role that he is actually not good at, the iron-faced selfless auditor, Miao Che.
In the past, Wang Xiao was actually good at portraying lively little people, and it was difficult for the auditor himself to act.
But whether it is the line language, body movements, or facial expressions, his performance is very real, down-to-earth, and people applaud.
Especially the scene where Zhao Hui was persuaded at the wine table, there is not only the seriousness of the auditor, but also the brotherly affection, the words must be explained, but they can't be said too thoroughly, and every sentence is exquisite. This scene is too difficult to act, even for the acting school, it is not easy.
But Wang Xiao acted in one go, affectionate and righteous, and he is really a rare good actor in his playing year.
thought that he would shine in the position of male number two, but he didn't expect that the noon sun would recognize people and let him play an ordinary middle-aged high-ranking official.
But I have never seen such a high-ranking official, toasting with the boss at the wine table, opening his mouth is you, the other party asked him to call him big brother, he said that this is not suitable or inappropriate, and the other party said it again, call it big brother.
He hurriedly called a few big brothers in one breath, seeing that the wind made the rudder faster than grass, and the sense of reality was too tasteful.
hopes to play the male protagonist of the noon sunshine CCTV drama, Wang Xiao will stay in the position of the male protagonist and don't go.
Second, Yin Tao.
This time, the heroine of Wang Xiao's partner is Yin Tao, the grand slam queen of the national drama.
From "The Sky of History", "Happiness Like Flowers" to "Taking the Wrong Car", "The Secret History of Yang Guifei", and then to "Chicken Feathers Fly to the Sky".
Yin Tao is not only a solid acting school, but also known for her wide acting path, and can act in various genres.
In "The World", she plays Zheng Juan, Zhou Bingkun's wife. The subtle changes in expression and delicate movements make this hard-working role deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
But Yin Tao really didn't have many urban dramas in the past, and this time it is likely to rewrite this record.
Shen Lin played by her returned to society from a second-child housewife, according to the routine of conventional domestic dramas, most of them went out to meet nobles, and it didn't take long for her to counterattack and successfully stand at the peak of her career.
It's a pity that this is a drama of the noon sunshine, not only did the character not easily counterattack, but also let the company open, so there was a scene where Yin Tao drank a lot of wine with her husband at the night market.
This is the reality of the little people, the second-child housewife succeeds after a struggle, is it an urban drama or a fantasy drama.
Yin Tao in the trailer has the decisiveness and determination of an urban woman, "I don't want a penny more, I can't do a penny less".
also has the stubbornness and freedom of an ordinary housewife, in a word, it is down-to-earth.
Her partner with Wang Xiao, that is very interesting.
In addition to the male and female leads, there are also 7 powerful actors:
Third, Zhang Zhehua
Long Aotian, the gold medal housekeeper known to the audience with "Annual Comedy Contest 2", ah no, Zhang Zhehua, this time's role is not Long Aotian at all.
Although he earns a lot of money, he suffers from emotional illness under high pressure, in order not to lose his job, he desperately hides his illness, and the relationship between him and his girlfriend Li Xiaoyue (played by Zhang Ruonan), who pursues timely fun, is becoming more and more estranged.
I hope that he will let the audience see his acting skills with the drama of the noon sunshine.
Fourth, Chen Haoyu
Unexpectedly, the first word-of-mouth of Sister Lang this season was Chen Haoyu, who acted silently without scandals.
I am not surprised that Chen Haoyu amazed everyone as soon as she opened her voice, she originally participated in the singing talent show "Chinese Avenue of Stars 3" in January 2014 and won the championship debut.
In December of the same year, she participated in CCTV's "China is Listening" and also entered the top 8 in the country, even as a singer, she is classified as a singer.
After acting, her performance in "The Legend of Ruyi" and "The Ethereal Record of Kyushu" is very stable, her appearance is brilliant and her performance is solid, better than many small flowers, and she lacks opportunities if she is not popular.
This time, Xie Meilan played by her is a sassy workplace beauty, and she broke up decisively because she disagreed with her husband played by Qin Junjie, which is a favorite character of young audiences today.
The habit of noon sunshine is to use actors who are handy, Wang Xiao also plays a supporting role in "County Party Committee Compound", and when the time comes, he will play the leading role, I hope that Chen Haoyu, a good jade, can be polished by the noon sun.
In addition to these few, there is also Xiaohua Zhang Ruonan, who has entered the rising period with "Your Wedding" and "Lighting Store", and she plays the optimistic social animal, full of joy.
In the past, most of the people played the martial arts and fairy types of Qin Junjie, and played the good family man Shen Lei.
Zhang Guoqiang, who has played a lot of ordinary people, finally played the big boss.
Cao Zheng, who has a villain's face, plays a helpless company executive.
The old drama bone House Bin made me laugh with a sentence of "don't laugh".
These good actors perform ordinary characters that can be seen in life, each character has its own dilemma, dilemma, no money, and no way, and when they come together, it is a song full of reality - "mortal song".
3: Breaking the game: domestic urban dramas, it's time to get back to the lives of ordinary people
I like a line in the play very much: Happiness has no definition, and success is not a rigid need.
Judging from the trailer, several protagonists did not get success in the so-called secular sense in the end.
Somebody — "I can't pay next month's rent." "Pay back" "No money. ”
Someone - "After so many years of drifting north, it is still empty." ”
But this is the life of ordinary people, "go to work, get off work, work hard, and engage in a career".
It's ordinary, but it's also moving.
I don't know when it started, in domestic film and television dramas, there are fewer and fewer works that reflect the lives of ordinary people, even if it is an urban life drama, there is only a female boss in the city, and there is no life.
To a certain extent, it is this game that "Mortal Song" wants to break.
Help domestic urban dramas and get back the lives of ordinary people.
What is the life of a mortal is not a casual success.
Instead, he commuted to and from work, lived his life, and bent his waist for five buckets of rice.
In the square inch city, mortals disturb themselves, there is money and no money, and life has to be lived.
The trailer rarely let me see Wang Xiao's submissiveness, the cowardice of being a person acting as several people, and also seeing the shadow of himself as a social animal.
Hard-working part-time job, who is not talking about resigning, while doing more than anyone else, is full of diligence every month.
The drama really filmed the voice of the workers!
The life of a mortal is to face pain and live in symbiosis with it. Passing a level is a level.
And if there is a trace of meaning in suffering, it is to make us appreciate the beauty of the ordinary more intensely.
Just like in the play, Yin Tao was deflated in the workplace, and she could always have a glass with her husband played by Wang Xiao at the night market, and said to herself, "Isn't it, I'm handsome." ”
In a lifetime, the grass and trees come like wind and rain, and go like dust. But the small life of mortals is always worth living.
No matter how annoying it is to live, you always have to sing a song, a mortal song.
