First, the frenzy swept by in an instant
Once upon a time, that night, when the final episode of the TV series "The Wind Chaser" slowly kicked off on the screen, the entire entertainment industry was instantly enveloped in a frenzy of discussion.
This excellent play, which is based on the revolutionary years, has attracted attention since the day it was broadcast, but as the finale draws closer, the public enthusiasm for it seems to be gradually heating up to an unprecedented high.
The curtain call at the end of the film has not yet been fully crossed, and many large video websites and social media platforms are already filled with cheers, comments, and praise from the audience.
For this masterpiece starring powerful actors such as Wang Yibo and Li Qin, it naturally attracted many viewers to leave messages to discuss the excitement of the plot, the three-dimensional shaping of the characters, and so on.
However, what is even more surprising is that in the midst of this acclaim, some actors who would have appeared only as supporting roles have unexpectedly become the center of attention. They may just hand over a cup of tea or walk through a street in the play, the scene seems insignificant, but with their superb acting skills and delicate portrayal, they inject thought-provoking colors into the whole series, making every subtlety shine brightly.
Just as these once-neglected "small roles" were receiving widespread attention, a unique speculation began to spread quickly among the audience's heated discussions - rookie actor Zhang Yijun is expected to become famous in one fell swoop and become a future star in the entertainment industry through this role.
She played the dancer Song Meijuan, although the role was limited, but it left an unforgettable impression, no wonder such a bold prediction came into being.
This heated discussion about supporting actors is like a sudden storm, which swept the entire online public opinion in an instant, making some actors who were originally unknown be pushed into the spotlight overnight.
The anticipation and attention for them seemed to have reached its peak on this night.
Second, the praise is endless
In this frenzied discussion, Zhang Yijun is undoubtedly the one who has received the most praise. The dancer Song Meijuan she played in the play has become the focus of repeated tastes and comments on the Internet.
Even though Song Meijuan's role in the entire TV series is as few as a morning star, whenever she appears on the screen, she can always deeply attract the attention of the audience. Her love for Lin Qiaosong (played by Zhang Tianyang) is like spring breeze and rain, meticulous, every tiny gesture, every fleeting look, reveals that intimate care that goes deep into the bone marrow.
What is unforgettable may be that scene. Under the dim light, the interaction between Song Meijuan and Lin Qiaosong was pulling, or pushing, and the silent back and forth between the two instantly injected a touch of romantic and lingering color into this originally bland cohabitation plot.
It seems that just a few more moments of staring will detonate the irrepressible passion in the heart at any time.
Although Zhang Yijun is a rookie actor with little qualifications, her acting skills in portraying the role of Song Meijuan have already shown a deep foundation. Every look and every action shows a deep understanding and grasp of the character, which is breathtaking.
For a newcomer, such an outstanding performance is really rare.
Because of this, film critics have given Zhang Yijun a very high evaluation after watching the series, and unanimously predicted that she will be able to make a name for herself in the entertainment industry and climb to a new peak in her career with the work "The Wind Chaser".
Such praise is naturally not easy to obtain.
There was already a cheer in the comment area, and the majority of fans were all overwhelmed by Zhang Yijun's newcomer masterpieces and were full of expectations for his future. Speculation about whether she will be able to make a splash has been flooding with rave reviews.
Third, the old drama bones are calm and bright
As the plot of "The Wind Chaser" gradually unfolds, the appearance of a gray-haired elder makes the audience awe-inspired. He is the old man Xu Nuo played by senior actor Wang Xueqi.
As the solid backing of Shen Jinzhen in the play, although the old man Xu Nuo is old, his deep and calm eyes seem to tell "Don't worry, everything is under my control".
Whenever a crisis comes, he will always bring comfort to the hearts of everyone with silent strength and encouragement.
What's even more shocking is that in the touching handover scene of the crew, when Xu Nuo looked around at the comrades around him with nostalgia, Mr. Wang Xueqi's resolute but affectionate eyes were like crossing the long river of time, vividly presenting the hardships and difficulties of that revolutionary era.
In this old master, we deeply feel the fighting spirit of the revolutionaries of the past who never gave in and fought bravely.
Although the passage of time may bring about a temporary decline in physical function, the enthusiasm and tenacity of Mr. Wang Xueqi have always been the same. His interpretation of the role of Xu Nuo can be described as just right, deep in the bone marrow, and full of praise.
Looking back on the past, he has created countless classic images in many excellent film works such as "Mei Lanfang" and "October Siege", and his superb acting skills have long become a recognized model in the industry.
This time in the film "Wind Chaser", Mr. Wang Xueqi once again lit up the whole film with his profound acting skills. When he was uncharacteristically and deliberately showed a hint of aging in his posture, and at the same time revealed a faint sense of exhaustion in his emotional expression, the image of the old man instantly became vivid and lifelike.
Under the careful shaping of this veteran actor, this small role, which may have been prosaic, has managed to win the attention of a wide audience. The indomitable revolutionary will exuded by him shows great power in the details, as if giving people endless inspiration.
Fourth, look at whether Yan'er is newly married
Going back to the beginning of the episode again, when Su Cishu played by Gao Lu and Shen Tunan (played by Wang Yang) walked into the screen hand in hand, the whole picture instantly became warm and moving.
Their eyes staring at each other are full of deep friendship, as if telling their marriage through ups and downs.
Su Cishu looked at her husband Shen Tunan's eyes full of tenderness and love, obviously she had deep admiration and love for this partner who had spent her life together. When Shen Tunan hugged his wife tightly and gently left an affectionate kiss on her forehead, this beautiful moment was permanently frozen, as if the eternity of love was frozen in the long river of time.
Gao Lu, a highly respected and powerful actor, brings out to the extreme the delicate emotions that are difficult to capture in people's daily lives with his perfect acting skills. Have you ever seen such a great performance? She doesn't need to use overly exaggerated techniques, just a subtle gesture or a flash of eyes is enough to make the audience deeply experience Su Cishu's deep and warm emotions for her husband.
Although this middle-aged emotion is not as fiery and unrestrained as when he was young, it is more restrained and soft due to the precipitation of time. This is the kind of love mode between the two of them that supports each other, which makes people sigh at the most real and simple happy life of middle-aged couples.
In this work, Gao Lu succeeds in recreating the deep emotional bond between the couple with his superb acting skills. Every time the audience witnesses the sincere interaction between them, they are all moved by this pure and immaculate love.
It is precisely because of this touching that the audience is full of praise for Gao Lu and Wang Yang's outstanding performance in the play, and some netizens even humorously ridiculed: "Such a loving middle-aged couple, it really makes people wonder if they have just entered the palace of marriage?" It can be seen that the emotional drama of this on-screen couple is indeed vividly portrayed and deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
In addition, the tacit cooperation between Gao Lu and Wang Yang is also indispensable. Not only do they perform well in acting, but the eye contact is full of just the right amount of warmth, which makes people feel as if they are in the scene and empathize.
This is undoubtedly a model for middle-aged couples!
However, while appreciating the wonderful performances of outstanding actors such as Gao Lu and Wang Yang, we cannot ignore the outstanding talent shown by teacher Liu Tingzuo in the play. The traitor Li Shengda he portrayed can be called a character that the audience loves and hates at the same time.
As a veteran agent who has gone through the test of life and death, Li Shengda's behavior in the play is really suffocating. He not only betrayed the revolutionary ideals, but also betrayed the lives of his comrades-in-arms.
However, when we delve into this character, we can't help but feel a little sympathy for him.
In the face of the life and death of a loved one, it was possible to make a once incomparably firm revolutionary soldier give up his ideals and beliefs in an instant! This undoubtedly reveals how grim and cruel the truth is in the complex choice of family and country feelings.
In the TV series "Feng Qi Longxi", in order to protect the peace and happiness of his family, Li Shengda almost did not hesitate to entrust his soul to the enemy, and embarked on a rebellious road that violated the oath of his comrades.
Teacher Liu Tingzuo's superb and extraordinary performance skills bring the deep contradictions and pain of this character to life. When he was on the verge of collapse, his face was full of distorted expressions, and his steps faltered, as if he was suffering from endless guilt.
However, when he succumbs to the enemy, his face suddenly becomes numb and cold, as if he has temporarily let go of all his ego.
This extreme emotional transformation all shows the spiritual predicament that Li Shengda is in at the moment. Reason told him not to betray, but the instinct to survive forced him to make a decision.
Such a fierce inner conflict is probably something that only those who have experienced it can deeply understand.
It is precisely because of Liu Tingzuo's careful interpretation that the audience will have a trace of sympathy for this character, instead of blindly accusing him of being a "traitor". Many netizens said frankly that Li Shengda's behavior is shameful, but at the same time, it also makes us re-examine the deep meaning of the word "family and country".
The fact that an ordinary person can make such a resolute choice for the sake of his family shows how difficult it is. This may be one of the humanized themes that the crew hopes to convey with the help of this character.
In those turbulent revolutionary years, everyone was tested and made their own choices for a variety of reasons.
Sixth, the small citizens are caring
Finally, let's turn our attention to the role of Aunt Zhou played by Teacher Yang Kun in the play. Although she is just a small citizen and an inconspicuous supporting role, Mr. Yang Kun's excellent acting skills have created this seemingly bland image vividly.
Aunt Zhou in the play is the landlord of Wei Ruolai (played by Wang Yibo), a chattering and worried aunt. Whenever she saw Wei Ruolai not returning late at night or behaving inappropriately, she would always nag and count down the young man, pointing out his mistakes without reservation.
However, in these seemingly verbose but affectionate tones, we can deeply feel Aunt Zhou's selfless love for Wei Ruolai. Like a loving elder, she always paid close attention to the young man's words and deeds, lest he go astray.
Whenever Wei Ruolai encountered difficulties, Aunt Zhou would always stand up without hesitation and give him endless warmth and encouragement in her unique way. Although she often nagged in her words, her deep intentions were everywhere.
With his exquisite skills, Mr. Yang Kun has successfully created such an image of a neighborhood full of life. Every subtle movement and every vivid expression of her makes the audience feel incomparably close, as if the warm-hearted aunt around us is vividly displayed in front of us.
From her busy figure on the streets, to her demeanor of waving her fists to teach others, to her gentle and comforting words to Wei Ruolai, every detail fully demonstrates her professionalism in devoting herself to the performance.
This kind of delicate acting skills that go deep into life is undoubtedly a true portrayal of Mr. Yang Kun's decades of sticking to his acting career.
Small people also have great wisdom, which is perfectly reflected in the characters she presents in the play. A seemingly ordinary ordinary citizen, but he left a deep impression on people because of Mr. Yang Kun's wonderful performance.
She depicts the most innocent side of human nature with her heart, adding a humorous and warm and touching color to the whole plot.
