Why did this suspense drama "Unspeakable", which is known as a very good suspense drama in the Fog Theater, achieve such outstanding results?
After the episode aired, the response from the audience was enthusiastic, and to a large extent, it has exceeded the expected height. Although the Douban comment area is polarized, there are also a lot of five-star praises.
Putting aside the quality of this drama for the time being, there must be shortcomings, and it can't cater to and please every audience.
Judging by the episodes that have aired, there are a lot of "elements" that give an adrenaline rush.
For example, the appearance of "Jiuchang Street" suddenly reminded me of the same place in "Hurricane". That's right, both dramas are filmed in the same location. Including when the captain of the criminal police Li Dengyuan ate noodles, he directly dreamed back to Gao Qiqiang's "pig's foot noodles".
The wonderful fighting scenes, the narrative rhythm of one after another, the endless suspense and the unpredictable twists all make the dramatic tension of the whole play constantly highlighted.
A good plot, coupled with good actors, basically succeeded more than half of it.
Ou Hao and Li Yitong, the two young leading actors, joined hands with Zhao Yang, Zhang Guoqiang and Liu Yijun to bring a good show.
The rich group portraits of the characters have sparked heated discussions, and there is also an actress in the supporting role who is controversial.
01
A high-quality criminal investigation suspense drama needs good actors to shape the characters. "Unspeakable" showed sincerity in casting, even if it is an inconspicuous villain, it also brings a lot of excitement in the play.
Let's not talk about the male protagonist Ou Hao for the time being, take a look at these outstanding supporting actors.
The first place, Yang Jue
Among the many second-generation stars, Yang Jue's strength is obvious to all. The role of Chen Jiadong in the new drama this time has a strong sense of contrast.
On the surface, Chen Jiadong is a little cowardly, and he is a little nervous when he speaks in front of outsiders, and he doesn't look stable at all.
But in private, he is a different face, scolding his father when he disagrees, and even being rude, and the so-called respect is not at all.
But when facing Zheng Dongyu, his posture was a little humble, and he said nice things bitterly, hoping that the other party would accept him.
Yang Jue's skills are no problem at all, and the contrast of the characters brings a higher three-dimensionality.
second place, Zhang Guoqiang
As a good actor, Zhang Guoqiang played the villain beyond expectations.
Lei Naiwu in the play is submissive in front of his eldest brother Liu Qing, and he always seems to be unable to raise his head, but this person is very assertive and thoughtful.
There is also a group of very loyal younger brothers behind him, including the undercover Gao Yang.
One of the most impressive clips is when Lei Naiwu realized that he had been deceived by Chen Jingming, he was so angry that he went straight to a rage, scolding at the other side of the phone, and the expression on his face became "hideous".
Later, when he heard that Chen Jingming had committed suicide, his eyes widened and he couldn't believe the news at all.
Zhang Guoqiang's control of details can be called a full score, which is worthy of being a drama bone.
third place, Liu Yijun
is also an old acquaintance of the audience, Liu Yijun's strength naturally needs not be said.
Liu Qing, who plays in the new drama this time, is also a villain and a criminal leader. When he first appeared, he was calm and relaxed, followed by a group of younger brothers.
Seeing Gao Yang gobbling up his meal, he sat next to him and watched, drinking tea by himself, and there was too much ruthlessness hidden in his sharp eyes.
Sure enough, just when his subordinates dug a pit to bury Gao Yang alive, he stared at his eyes and calmly said, "Bury it", and the big guy's aura came out.
The above powerful supporting roles have a large number of scenes in the early plot, and it is the excellent interpretation that has vivid characters, which adds a lot of points to the whole drama.
02
"Unspeakable" chose young actor Ou Hao to play the male lead, and it really lived up to expectations. With a handsome appearance and solid acting skills, whether it is a police officer or an "undercover agent", he can easily handle it.
And Gao Yang's character has a very thick emotion, and under his quiet appearance, there is a soft heart.
The heroine Li Yitong's performance is decent, controversial, and progressive.
Zheng Dongyu has endured a lot of hardships along the way, and his heart has always been depressed. Gao Yang's companionship and long-term affection made her feel warm.
There are not many actresses in this drama, in addition to Li Yitong, the female No. 2 Hu Lianxin has also caused a lot of discussions.
Some viewers think that after watching many clips, they found that Hu Lianxin's acting skills are too thin, there are heavy traces in the performance, and the exaggerated body language and too hard expressions make people feel that they are in the play, which is completely unsuitable for the role?
There are even criticisms that her acting skills are rotten like bastards, how did she get into this group of powerful actors, is it a relation? Replace her and it would be perfect.
Is that really the case?
After carefully watching Hu Lianxin's performance several times, the author thinks that her completion is also high, and the characters are full of emotions.
For example, this paragraph.
When Chen Xueying was kidnapped by Qin Yong, she watched the person who suddenly appeared in front of her to inject herself with an unknown liquid, and struggled to get rid of it.
Later, when her hands were tied, she crawled on the ground in order to escape, but she was caught by Qin Yong again and was almost violated.
At this time, Chen Xueying was very scared, her eyes were blurred by tears, and the helplessness and despair on her face continued to amplify. She screamed, but she couldn't shake off the demon's hands......
This emotional processing is very real, and there is basically no trace of force.
And also.
At the dinner table, Chen Xueying didn't wait for her father, she was a little uneasy, and asked her brother anxiously.
Later, when she knew that her father was no longer alive, the whole person collapsed directly, she cried loudly, tears couldn't stop flowing, and the sadness of this moment could not be replaced by anything.
With full emotion, the three-dimensionality of the characters will rise. Judging from these scenes, Hu Lianxin's feelings for the characters are also very heavy.
Including some other episodes, the parts involving emotional ups and downs are more obvious.
Perhaps in some performance details, Hu Lianxin still has a lot of room for improvement, and needs more works and roles to experience and precipitate.
For the role of Chen Xueying, the current performance is enough.
Write at the end:
After watching the first eight episodes of "The Unspeakable", it is not difficult to find that every character in the play is very three-dimensional, regardless of the protagonist or supporting role, with a bit of reality.
If the character does not play, there is no sense of levitation, which is a very successful creation.
In the play, Liu Yijun, Qi Kui, Zhao Yang and Zhang Guoqiang's performances are full of relaxation, and they can accurately control all the characteristics of the characters, release and express them without reservation, so that the characters can be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
The acting skills of the leading actors Ou Hao and Li Yitong are also online, although there are flaws, but the flaws are not hidden.
Among the supporting actresses, Hu Lianxin has caused a lot of heated discussions, and her role as Chen Xueying also has a lot of commendability, and it is good to make progress.
Do you think the acting skills of young actor Hu Lianxin are passable?
