The noon sun, which had been ridiculed for two whole years, was finally about to raise its eyebrows.
Since Kong Sheng served as the director, the reputation of "County Party Committee Compound" starring Hu Ge fell outside the passing line, and the position of "the first brother of national drama", the noon sun began to sit unsteadily.
Since then, no decent works have been launched, and even the highlights of the third part of the period drama "Dajiang Dahe", which is a good one, are all focused on the bloody drama of Lei Dongbao cheating and becoming a scumbag.
And the IP of "Ode to Joy" ushered in the fifth part after the full lineup change, and the word-of-mouth fell directly to the bottom.
It's hard to look forward to such a midday sun.
But then the noon sun released two ultimates in succession.
One is the urban drama "Mortal Song" starring Yin Tao and Wang Xiao, with a full sense of reality in the lineup theme and story setting.
This undoubtedly falls accurately to the audience's point of interest, urban dramas are most afraid of suspension and ungrounded, Noon Sunshine captures this point, and uses "Mortal Song" to talk about the joys, sorrows and sorrows of ordinary people, focusing on a sense of substitution.
The second big move is "Alley People", a typical period drama with the combination of Mesozoic actors and young actors, judging from the story setting and trailer, it is full of warmth, and the texture is hardcore.
The next two works will be released soon, and in comparison, I am more optimistic about "Alley People".
First, the thick fireworks of the world hidden in the alleys
An alley in the play witnesses the first encounter and separation of the two families, and also carries the growth and changes of two generations.
In the trailer, there is the joy of the child being admitted to a prestigious university, the quarrel between the husband and wife, and the emotional belonging between the two generations, which can be described as full of highlights.
This play is set in the late 70s of the 20th century, focusing on the Zhuang and Lin families living in an alley in the family area of the Suzhou cotton mill.
During the recovery stage of the college entrance examination, Zhuang Chaoying, a teacher, and his wife Huang Ling regarded their children's college entrance examination as the top priority of the family, and their neighbors Lin Wufeng and Song Ying's family were affected by it and began to pay attention to their son's studies.
A son and a daughter of the banker, one is studious and the other is well-behaved and sensible, but the family often quarrels over various trivial matters.
Zhuang Chaoying is weak and foolish, and does not care about his wife's feelings at all, and his wife Huang Ling has been putting up with her husband for the sake of her children, so on the surface, the family looks harmonious and decent.
The Lin family next door is the opposite, it seems to go its own way, and the son is also very naughty, but the husband and wife understand each other and support each other, and the parents and children are also a family that respects each other, lively and complete.
When two completely different families get together, there will inevitably be friction and bumps, but they are also gradually getting to know each other and gradually finding a comfortable way to get along.
As the children grew up, their relationship problems began to sprout, Lin Wufeng and Song Ying adapted to the changes of the times and went to Guangzhou to find new opportunities, while Zhuang Xiaoting and Lin Dongzhe, who were childhood sweethearts, found their hearts for each other after they separated, so they agreed to be admitted to the same university.
Even though they faced the obstacles of family and reality when they graduated, they still firmly chose each other, and their brother Zhuang Tunan also found his love belonging.
The trailer condenses the key plot into just a few minutes, from the beginning when Huang Ling moved to the alley with the children, and the two families got along warmly, to the constant contradictions between them, the problems gradually broke out, and then to the reluctance to leave the scene, every scene feels real and substitutional.
From the perspective of the plot, the style of "Alley People" is quite similar to the previous "Children of the Qiao Family" launched by the Noon Sunshine team.
This time, Noon Sunshine was able to deliver an answer sheet that satisfied the audience in the period drama track that Noon Sunshine is good at.
Second, the full strength of the lineup, Yan Ni and Jiang Xin's sisterhood are tearful
The combination of Mesozoic and young actors is not uncommon, but "Alley People" brings together all the powerful factions of the two ages.
The two actresses who are the main actors in the Mesozoic generation are Yan Ni and Jiang Xin, Yan Ni plays the role of Huang Ling in the play, and the biggest attraction of this role is that she needs to endure her cowardly and foolish husband, and she also needs to appease the emotions of her two children.
In the trailer, you can feel how aggrieved Yan Ni's role is, crying silently alone, and maintaining a decent appearance, which is really distressing.
And Jiang Xin continued the role she had interpreted in the past, with a big personality, and she could say anything in one go, but it was this straightforwardness that made her and Huang Ling become close sisters.
It can be seen from the trailer that the sisterhood of the two can contribute a lot of tears to the whole play, both the scenes of the two dancing in the dim light, and the rare free time of middle-aged people is both poignant and happy.
There is also the scene where the two are separated, compared to Jiang Xin, who cried bitterly, Yan Ni endured her emotions and chose a different way of presentation, but they all fit the character traits of the characters.
Watching these two actresses play in the same frame, the biggest feeling is that it is enjoyable.
The performance of the two male lead actors Li Guangjie and Guo Xiaodong is also remarkable, Li Guangjie in the trailer is polite and full of bookishness, while Guo Xiaodong is a character who is gentle on the surface, but in fact he is horizontal.
I have to say that Guo Xiaodong's performance makes people feel angry when he looks at it, yelling at his wife and slapping his daughter, which really makes people want to rush into the screen to fight him.
The three leading actors of young actors, Fan Chengcheng, Guan Xiaotong and Wang Anyu, are no strangers to everyone.
Fan Chengcheng entered everyone's field of vision as a trainee, but in recent years, he has quickly completed the transformation of his acting skills, not only handed over several big-screen works, but also has masterpieces such as "Zeng Boy" on the small screen, with unlimited potential.
Guan Xiaotong plays the role of Zhuang Xiaoting, a girl in the alley, this role is quiet on the surface, but in fact she is melancholy inside, she is well-behaved and sensible, more because she wants to make her father happy and avoid unnecessary quarrels, and she is also a character who can't help but feel distressed when she looks at it.
Especially the crying scene in the trailer is very infectious, and it is enough to feel her collapse when substituted into the character's body.
Wang Anyu played the role with a big grin and warmth, completely like a boy from a happy family, I believe he can also perform beyond expectations.
epilogue
