Unexpectedly, the reputation of Charmaine Sheh's new drama "The Inheritor of Family Glory" would be a mess, and the polarization of word-of-mouth was quite serious.
"Family Glory" achieved good results when the first part was on the air, and now the original cast has returned, but the audience has picked out a lot of flaws.
The most complained about is the plot design, basically there are no highlights, the element of "house fight" is constantly amplified, too many irrelevant characters have been added, and even the bloody elements such as little mother and illegitimate child have come out.
There is also the logic of the plot, the first few episodes are really chaotic, and I can't see the main story at all, what does the screenwriter think?
Perhaps, the biggest attraction of this drama is a few actors with good strength.
Charmaine Sheh continues to interpret the handy role of "strong woman", with no pressure in the performance, and the emotions of the characters are relatively thick.
The same is true for the male protagonist Lin Feng, the role of this challenge is a lawyer with a heart, and he is also very unique in the handling of details.
There is also a supporting role in the first few episodes that is impressive, that is, Zhu Liqi, who is similar to the "mistress" setting, played by Chen Jing is 35 years old, and she is still charming and charming.
As soon as she appeared, all the supporting roles were eclipsed.
01
"The Inheritor of Family Glory" is a suspenseful production drama, which is a niche theme in the national drama market, and how to present a tense plot tests the director's skills.
After the first part, the second part came as scheduled, but the audience was full of disappointment. Although the script has been meticulously polished, the sense of suspense is obviously insufficient, and it looks more like a "running account" output.
Such a bland plot and unreasonable logical direction make people tasteless. Fortunately, several powerful actors in the play have created vivid characters.
The first, Charmaine Sheh
As a professional household and heroine of Hong Kong dramas, Charmaine Sheh's strength is obvious to all, and it is also very appropriate to interpret the role of a strong woman.
However, many viewers questioned that her performance style is always the same, and no matter what type of role she looks the same.
In the new play, the heroine Qiu Haoer played by her is the core character of the storm of production.
In the family business, her attitude can be described as the same, but in the grasp of the world, she is a little more sleek and flexible.
According to her grandfather's will, she will take over the affairs of the group, but many people are not convinced at this time. She didn't give up and showed enough strong demeanor at the meeting.
Emotionally, she is not a cowardly woman either.
When she saw Gao Jun making out with other girls in the car, her anger came up directly. Before the other party could say a complete sentence when he got out of the car, her slap landed on the other party's face, her eyes were full of murderous aura, and the aura at this moment was simply not too powerful.
Charmaine Sheh is very suitable for the role of Qiu Haoer, and there is no big problem with her acting skills.
second place, Lin Feng
has cooperated with Charmaine Sheh many times, and Lin Feng is also an old partner. The key is that his acting skills are stable enough, and the tacit understanding between the two is relatively sufficient.
There is a scene in the play that is quite impressive.
Although Gao Jun played by Lin Feng is a lawyer, he is very attentive, and after meeting a new girl at a drinking party, he brought people to the car, and when he was about to make out, he found that Qiu Haoer called.
Seeing the name on the phone screen, his heart chuckled.
When he answered the phone, he couldn't hide the nervousness in his heart, and he stammered when he spoke. When he got out of the car, he explained helplessly.
But before he finished speaking, he was slapped and pretended to be very aggrieved.
In just this one clip, you can see that Lin Feng's acting skills are very vivid, and he is very easy to control the emotions of the characters, without any traces of performance.
These two powerful leaders added points to the whole drama, but it was still difficult to save the sharp decline in word-of-mouth.
02
The group portraits of the characters in "The Inheritor of Family Glory" are richer, with characters such as a mother, secretary, and mistress all appearing, and the actresses also have their own limelight.
Linda, who plays Qiu Zhibin's secretary, appeared on the stage, which was eye-catching. Unexpectedly, Wang Minyi, who is 32 years old, has a good appearance and a full sense of girlishness when she laughs.
In the face of her boss's questioning and reprimand, Linda did not have any anger, she still responded with a smile and arranged everything in an orderly manner.
Qiu Zhitong played by Chen Ying is more stable and mature.
She can always take care of the overall situation in the face of major rights and wrongs, and she can handle many things clearly, and she doesn't need adults to worry about it at all. Her acting skills are also very stable, and she also has a lot of scenes in supporting roles.
If you want to say the most impressive supporting role, it has to be 35-year-old Chen Jing.
When it comes to this name, many viewers may not be familiar with it, and they are not powerful actors, and there are relatively few current works.
has previously starred in films such as "Anti-Corruption Storm 2", "Chunjiao Saves Zhiming" and "Karate", and has also won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress.
But because of his own reasons, Chen Jing has been in the film for a long time, and "The Inheritor of Family Glory" is also one of the few TV series works after his comeback.
Back in the play, the role she plays is relatively special, which is Qiu Shouren's newlywed wife Zhu Liqi. Before her, Qiu Shouren already had two wives.
Maybe it's not appropriate to use "mistress" to describe Zhu Liqi's existence, but in the direction of the plot, what she experiences and what people can see are too similar to her mistress.
Judging from her appearance, Chen Jing, who is 35 years old, has no sense of age, I don't know if it's because of the filter of this drama, she doesn't look like she is yet 30 years old.
When there is a big emotional turn or when you laugh, you can't see the subtle wrinkles at the corners of your eyes, and in front of Qiu Shouren, the young girlish feeling is even more obvious.
There is an impressive shot at the beginning of the work.
Zhu Liqi is still not satisfied after marrying into a wealthy family, she is spying on more wealth and power. When she was coquettish with her much older husband Qiu Shouren, her delicate tone gave people goosebumps......
Looking at her makeup, she is much more delicate than the other two wives, not only wearing heavy makeup, but also wearing jewelry, highlighting her delicate status and temperament.
Later, Zhu Liqi deliberately stumbled and instigated the cleaner to sue the second aunt.
He wore some silver skirts, which set off his better figure. Under the careful dressing, the charming temperament continues to exude from the inside out, standing very prominent in the crowd.
Some also commented that they didn't expect it, Chen Jing is 35 years old, and it is not a problem to interpret amorous and charming roles.
In terms of acting skills, Chen Jing also has a lot of commendability.
usually maintains a very squeamish appearance, but when Qiu Haoer said a few words to her in front of Qiu Shouren, her temper immediately came up. His eyes glared angrily, and his tone of voice increased by several points, and his aura at this time completely changed.
On the whole, Chen Jing is still more suitable for the role of Zhu Liqi, both in terms of external image and acting skills, she has taken out the level she should have.
Write at the end:
"The Inheritor of Family Glory" does not show sincerity in the story, and the picture texture is not outstanding, it will inevitably be complained by the audience.
If the logic design can be more rigorous, the dramatic effect will also be greatly improved.
Fortunately, the acting skills of Charmaine Sheh and Lin Feng are online, and they have saved a little bit of reputation. Among the supporting roles, the most outstanding is the 35-year-old Chen Jing.
His appearance and acting skills have been recognized a lot, which to a certain extent makes the characters he portrays more vivid and three-dimensional. What do you think of Chen Jing's acting skills?
