The spy war dramas that have been launched one after another have made the long-low spy war theme popular again. But judging from the broadcast effect of "Harbin 1944", the market of spy war dramas has not only been sucked dry by "Wind Chaser", but the appetite of spy war fans has also been "Diao" by high-quality spy war dramas.
"Harbin 1944", which has serious bugs in terms of quality, is destined to miss the hit even if Qin Hao helps.
Of course, this also shows that other themes have opportunities.
Among the various positioning of domestic dramas, life dramas are the easiest theme for the audience to empathize with, but not every life drama can be a big hit. The life drama in 2024 has been in a state of flameout.
Wait and wait, this "Mortal Song" played by Wang Xiao and Yin Tao as husband and wife is the most popular potential dark horse.
It is reported that the TV series "Mortal Song" produced by Noon Sunshine will meet the audience on CCTV, the top configuration, CCTV platform, "Mortal Song" has got a hit start, and is waiting to be launched to accept the market test, and before the TV series starts, the potential of this drama will be tapped through the trailer.
The plot is down-to-earth, and the plot is plump and highlights the group portraits of the characters
The biggest problem of today's life dramas is that they are not down-to-earth enough, and petty bourgeois families have become the protagonists of life dramas, but they still don't forget to focus on some economic difficulties, trying to make ordinary audiences empathize with the material desires of the petty bourgeoisie.
I really can't get the anxiety of buying a house in Beijing and Shanghai every day in your drama.
But "Mortal Song" really focuses on the lives of "mortals" from multiple levels. Noon Sunshine, the producer of popular life dramas such as "Ode to Joy" and "It's All Good", is the film and television company of this drama.
In terms of plot, the middle-aged couple played by Yin Tao and Wang Xiao are mediocre workers in the workplace, nodding their heads and waists, raising babies in life, and facing all kinds of trivial matters.
The key is that Shen Lin played by Yin Tao and Na Wei played by Wang Xiao are finally a normal couple. The marriage of the two did not involve a third party, and they began to pass the buck to each other without encountering problems, on the contrary, they became each other's spiritual pillars, and there are various twists and turns in the plot, but the protagonist's way of coping is full of healing.
This couple, focusing on the trivial reality.
Shen Lei, played by Qin Junjie, shows the needs of the spiritual level. He has no utilitarianism, no self-motivation, work is a tool for a happy life for him, and his Buddhism makes his marriage have to face challenges, at the end of the plot, Shen Lei even chose to resign and live in seclusion, and really embarked on a spiritual pursuit.
As for the last pair of CPs, they explore the connection between the material and the spiritual. Na Jun, played by Zhang Zhehua, is a young talent with an annual income of one million and a successful person in the eyes of outsiders, but he suffers from panic disorder due to work pressure, and his girlfriend Li Xiaoyue (played by Zhang Ruonan) tries to communicate with him, but it leads to a fierce conflict between the two of them.
The first couple, life is difficult, but you can use your family as a spiritual support.
Second, the lack of money does not affect his pursuit of the ideal life he wants.
Third, having money does not necessarily mean that you can have happiness.
Three pairs of CPs, three situations, three completely different life situations, as a life drama, "Mortal Song" really shows the consciousness of group portrait shaping in the plot highlights. On this point alone, "Mortal Song" wins.
Of course, the portrayal of the actors is also the highlight of "Mortal Song".
Powerful actor partner, acting skills support the highlights
After "The World", Yin Tao's presence in the film and television industry has obviously become higher, and her acting strength has of course been further recognized. But in fact, with Yin Tao's image and age, she is more suitable for showing her strength in the theme of life dramas at this stage.
In the trailer of "Mortal Song", Yin Tao's life flow acting skills were infinitely amplified. She is a straightforward big woman in the workplace, and she is also the head of the family who handles her husband in life. She is beautiful and outstanding, and she can't find the shadow of deformed aesthetics on her body, and can only see the charm of mature women.
Moreover, the details of Yin Tao's performance always have a kind of moisturizing and silent effect, her angry little expression, her hands on her waist and deliberately yin and yang weird little taste, and the appearance of blushing and talking big when drunk, all play the girlish sensibility occasionally released by mature women, just right.
This kind of acting that can make the audience feel vitality without pretending to be tender is enough to support the highlight of the heroine in "Mortal Song".
And Wang Xiao showed the multi-faceted nature of his performance in "Mortal Song", Wang Xiao's image charm is really not outstanding, but his temperament is in place, and he has a sense of maturity in the uncle circle.
But in "Mortal Song", Wang Xiao plays an ordinary mortal.
In the workplace, the male protagonist can be said to be nodding his head and waist, busy before and after, the leader opens the door when he travels, and the leader drinks with him, and the character temperament is mainly a nest, and the back that is always arched in the trailer is enough to explain everything.
In Wang Xiao's portrayal, the audience saw his completely different temperament in this drama.
Not only that, but there are quite a few familiar faces in "Mortal Song".
The second female played by Zhang Ruonan, a proper optimistic girl, does not worry about work, has a big heart and freedom, and a face full of vitality is Zhang Ruonan's eye-catching weapon, and she is always silly in the trailer, which can also heal the audience's mood.
Compared with her boyfriend's depression in her career, the second female played by Zhang Ruonan can really relax the plot and make the audience feel the eye-catching supporting role of the young man.
As for Qin Junjie, he is even more simple, Qin Junjie, who has starred in idol dramas, is actually completely the appearance of the traffic track. But his acting planning is basically based on mainstream themes, and in these works, Qin Junjie has cultivated a simple temperament.
Including in the trailer of "Mortal Song", he also gives people a very down-to-earth fireworks flavor. He is Buddhist and casual, from the way he dresses and matches, to the tone of his voice, he gives people a sense of salted fish.
At first glance, this role is a typical rimmed supporting role, with no ambition and destined to be rotten, but at another glance, Qin Junjie played the wise and foolish side of the character to the fullest. He uses the most frivolous tone to tell the secret of happiness in life, this seemingly stupid character who is actually full of life wisdom often gives the audience a heavy blow at the end of the story.
All in all, in terms of casting, the drama "Mortal Song" can be said to be full of sincerity and highlights.
But whether this drama can become a dark horse hit depends on the word-of-mouth performance of the TV series after it is launched.
Finally, what are your expectations for the TV series "Mortal Song"?
