Preface
"Young Babylon" has just been broadcast, and it has ranked second on the online drama popularity list, second only to "Cherish Flowers".
This period drama, which was launched at the end of April, puts the timeline in the 90s of the last century, telling the story of the struggle of teenagers in that era.
Although it is a period drama, "Young Babylon" is not an old-fashioned drama style, but a light-hearted comedy style.
opened the show with anticipation, but was hurt by the nonsense of the plot and the acting skills of the actors.
So, let's walk into this "Young Babylon" and take a look!
There are many plot holes
At the beginning of the plot, the actor Lu Xiaolu was on the last day of the college entrance examination, and after eating canned herring at home, he went out with a tape recorder.
And our male protagonist rode a variable speed bicycle that did not belong to this era, and did not go to the college entrance examination, but followed his brother to the food factory to confess.
But anyone with a normal brain would not choose to go to another place on the day of the college entrance examination to block people's confessions, right?
This is really a disrespect for the college entrance examination!
Knowing that the college entrance examination is over, the girl also said that she was unwilling, and she would continue to entangle, which already constituted sexual harassment.
The girl was unwilling, and the workers in the factory took the lead for the factory, and the two sides fought directly.
At this critical moment of the scuffle between the two parties, the heroine appeared, as the new factory doctor in the food factory, as soon as she appeared, it was a big close-up of her skirt.
The director may be shooting with his buttocks in order to highlight the heroine's figure, which is really a bit suspicious.
And Lu Xiaolu was at a disadvantage during the fight, and he directly took the suitcase of the factory doctor Bai Lan into battle, didn't this suitcase be opened directly!
The factory doctor's white and blue clothes are flying all over the sky, but this slow motion is not too unreasonable.
Moreover, the flying range of this dress is too broad, I feel that the whole food factory is floating with clothes, such a hard and concave romantic bridge is outrageous.
After the fight was caught, the male protagonist thought that he was going to the college entrance examination, and the security guard brother was simply the audience's mouth: "Why didn't you think of going to the exam when you were fighting?"
The audience also does not understand the behavior of the male protagonist who does not take the college entrance examination to heart, after all, in the hearts of Chinese, the college entrance examination has always been a sacred and important thing.
Sure enough, when the male protagonist rushed to school, the college entrance examination had already begun, and he missed 15 minutes, and he was no longer allowed to enter the exam.
The act of missing the college entrance examination at the beginning of the game directly made the audience a big abandoned drama.
From the chat between the male protagonist's friend and the male protagonist, we can know that the male protagonist Lu Xiaolu's grades are not bad, and he can take a college exam at worst.
In the 90s, the junior college was also a very good degree, and the male protagonist, a future college student, died like this, and the audience was heartbroken.
The male protagonist himself doesn't feel sad, which makes the plot more suspended.
The male protagonist missed the college entrance examination, and the male protagonist's brother Lu Dajiang went to the food factory and wanted to contract the project in the factory.
I happened to know that my brother was arrested because of a fight, so I went straight to work!
In front of the factory director, Lu Dajiang pinched the neck of the factory director's secretary, looking like he was going to kill someone on the spot, it was hard to believe that this business could be discussed.
When the scene was chaotic, it was the heroine who stepped forward and hit Lu Dajiang on the head with an ashtray, and the farce finally ended.
So, the group moved the battlefield back to the game hall opened by Lu Dajiang.
Outrageous, Lu Dajiang said that he was fine, but the factory doctor Bai Lan was unwilling to leave, and then, the two of them began to play snooker?
Seriously, this bridge is designed to be nonsensical, and the audience also expressed their incomprehension of why the heroine has to take people to the hospital.
In the case that people express their unwillingness, they have to entangle, probably to provide an opportunity for the heroine to create a personality.
Playing billiards is completely for the sake of the atmosphere.
The female protagonist is crazy to show how beautiful she is, the male protagonist is crazy to show how handsome he is, and he also specially designed the plot of the fuse burning out, creating a romantic plot with a flashlight.
After that, the male protagonist and others gossiped about the female protagonist in the radio room, and the female protagonist was overheard.
The female protagonist met an exhibitionist and picked up the mask left by the other party, which was actually the male protagonist's, and the misunderstanding between the two people about each other was getting deeper and deeper.
However, this paved the way for them to catch exhibitionists together in the future.
In addition to the unreasonable plot, many of the settings in the play do not conform to the situation in the 90s.
Variable speed bicycles, delicate little electric donkeys, and range hoods at home are all far from the 90s in the audience's memory.
There is also a fake white filter in the play, which the audience really finds dazzling and difficult to accept.
Originally, there was no texture of the 90s, and such a filter was added, which made the audience feel even more disobedient.
The plot is unreasonable on the one hand, but the "relational" actress in "Young Babylon" makes it difficult for the audience to accept.
This related actress is none other than Yang Caiyu.
"Relational" actor
Yang Caiyu played the role of the factory doctor "Bai Lan" in "Young Babylon", and played a cold image of a royal sister in the play.
Yang Caiyu has always been energetic in the play, with a feeling of being on top, and she looks like she owes her money in the face of everyone.
Yang Caiyu's appearance is indeed bright and atmospheric, but her acting skills in the play are average.
did not see the character's characteristics from Yang Caiyu's body, but saw her own appearance.
Judging from Yang Caiyu's acting skills, he has implemented everything in the same way, always condescending to others.
Moreover, Yang Caiyu always uses his mouth to exert force when he speaks lines, not to mention the appearance, and it is easy to attract the audience's attention.
Looking at the several roles played by Yang Caiyu, whether it is "Fang Zhiheng" in "Ode to Joy", "Liang Sishen" in "Big River", and now "Bai Lan", they are all elite royal sister roles, which are really homogeneous.
Yang Caiyu himself is a student of Nortel's class of 2011, but he only played a supporting role in a film and television work that was not popular in 2012.
In 2017, Yang Caiyu fell in love with businessman Chen Jinfei, who was 30 years older than her, and this relationship with a huge age gap made Yang Caiyu controversial.
However, Yang Caiyu's career turnaround also came in 2017, she starred in Feng Xiaogang's "Fanghua" and won the Best Supporting Actress Award, which is a small splash.
In 2019, it was rumored that after she and Chen Jinfei got married, Yang Caiyu's career became even smoother.
first served as a bordered heroine in the double male lead drama of Huang Xuan and Chen He, and immediately appeared in Noon Sunshine's "Big River" as a supporting role.
After that, it became one of the "five beauties" in "Ode to Joy" after the blood exchange, and it can be said that he successfully became familiar in front of the audience.
Yang Caiyu has gone from being little-known, and his direct resources have been upgraded to two classic works, "Big River" and "Ode to Joy", which shows his strength and background.
This time she starred in "Young Babylon", which can be regarded as the first time that Yang Caiyu really became an independent heroine, filming a scene where the main person fell in love.
Looking at the current situation, it is estimated that there is no optimism.
epilogue
In fact, it is nothing to play the leading role in airborne, the key is whether you have the strength to support a role.
If the performance is not good, and you can continue to appear in front of the audience, it will really make the audience doubt the casting of capital.
I still hope that Yang Caiyu can bring new good works to the audience next time!
