Period dramas have gradually become the "darling" of the national drama market.
While reminiscing about the warmth of the times, this kind of work will bring more inspirational elements, or refract the current reality through the perspective of young people in a specific era.
is like this just-launched "Hometown of the Stars".
Different from previous period dramas, the perspective of the drama does not focus on family, career or emotion, but starts from the grape planting at the eastern foot of Helan Mountain, and the heroine Ouyang Yixing, who gave up her music dream, took over her father's career and ran the winery vigorously.
There is plenty of atmosphere of the era, and there are also inspirational stories of young people, coupled with many drama bones and powerful actors to join, the highlights are directly full.
It's a pity that the show's reputation is unexpectedly "poor".
Five-star praise is rarely seen in the Douban comment area, and the reasons for the bad reviews given by many viewers are also very intuitive: cliché, poor texture, and looks more like an urban drama......
Perhaps in terms of production, the show does have a lot of flaws, but judging from the group portraits of the characters, several old actors with good strength still contribute relatively solid acting skills.
The most impressive thing is that Huo Qing actually "eats soil" directly in the play. That's right, it's dirt.
His realism allows the audience to see how outrageous the "fake eating" of some actors is. If you can't open your mouth, let's stop acting!
01
After the two episodes of "The Hometown of the Stars", the atmosphere of the era has increased, because the appearance of the emotional line has weakened the atmosphere of the times to a certain extent, and there will be a certain sense of suspension.
Let's not talk about the plot for the time being, let's take a look at a few leading actors.
Ouyang Yixing, played by the heroine Pan Zhilin, was a little amazing when she first appeared, and she deserved to be from an artistic background.
Under the spotlight, Ouyang Yixing played the cello elegantly, and between her eyebrows, her temperament became more and more beautiful. Because of the lighting, her facial features are more three-dimensional and exquisite. With this appearance, it is not inferior to the popular star at all.
In fact, Pan Zhilin's own appearance is good, although she is 34 years old and has no smart girlishness, her mature temperament is still suitable for the role.
In terms of acting skills, Pan Zhilin's emotional processing is also relatively delicate.
After waiting at the station for a long time and not waiting for his father to pick him up, Ouyang Yixing looked anxious, and he was also full of grievances when he called his mother.
But when she heard that her father had a traffic accident, her heart chuckled, and she was obviously a little flustered. When she arrived at the hospital, she tried to restrain her emotions, but when she saw the words "emergency room", she was completely blank.
Knowing that her father was seriously injured, she was even more saddened, tears silently crossed her face, but once again the grief in her heart continued to magnify.
Pan Zhilin's acting skills have improved visibly with the naked eye, and when expressing delicate emotions, she is a little less youthful and more realistic.
Qi Lu, played by the male protagonist Xu Yang, is more vibrant.
To be honest, when Qi Lu first appeared, he looked like a college student who had just graduated, but he had a clear understanding of career planning, and he was even a little stubborn.
When his mother called him, he was a little impatient as soon as he said two words, and began to explain all kinds of things, and the micro-expressions on his face were too real.
When he saw Qiu Yihan for the first time, he didn't really want to deal with the other party at all, and frowned after saying a few words. Hearing the other party talk about the acquisition of the winery, he suddenly became interested, and his eyes had a different light.
"The Hometown of the Stars" is popular, and the two leading actors Pan Zhilin and Xu Yang have a high degree of completion of their roles, but their acting skills still have a lot to improve.

If you want to say that the acting skills are more stable, you have to be an old drama bone.
"The Hometown of the Stars" should be well-thought-out in casting, and the characters created by several actors are not ordinary and vivid.
is like Shi Mingshan played by Wang Jinsong.
Although he is a senior winemaker at the winery, Shi Mingshan is down-to-earth enough, and when he sees that the grapes are growing well, he directly picks them and puts them in his mouth, and then beckons the villagers to work harder.
and Ouyang Bin portrayed by Ma Yue.
When he learned that his daughter was admitted, Ouyang Bin was about to jump up with joy, and his joy was beyond words. He is a gentle father and a strict winery owner, who can switch freely no matter what "mode" he is in.
The most amazing thing for the audience to shoot is the old drama bone Huo Qing.
He plays an approachable, dedicated and pragmatic professor Li Guohua. As soon as I saw this character appear, I knew that the show was stable.
There is a memorable scene in the play.
At first, Li Guohua took root in the Gobi Desert and led the local villagers to plant grapes, and achieved good results under his patient guidance and scientific cultivation.
After many years, he returned to this homeland and was completely shocked by the earth-shaking changes in front of him.
He stopped halfway and slowly opened the door, his hands shaking. Looking at the 10,000 acres of vineyards in the distance, I was excited and didn't know how to express my feelings.
There is a detail, at this time, Li Guohua's eyes are moist and red...... The past came to mind, and one of his wishes came true!
In terms of subtle emotional processing, Huo Qing does not reserve it at all, acting is real, and it doesn't look like acting.
In the most unique section, Huo Qing directly ate the soil.
At the beginning of the story, a group of villagers run on the Gobi Desert, where no grass grows, and the desolation here seems difficult to change.
However, in a dirt pit, Li Guohua was carefully observing something, and the villagers looked at each other, a little incomprehensible.
At this time, Li Guohua grabbed a little soil and put it in the palm of his hand, put it in front of his nose and smelled it. Then he stuck out his tongue and ate the soil into his mouth......
This is not the end, Li Guohua also tasted the taste of soil very generously, and then showed a pleased smile, as if he had found some treasure.
The surrounding villagers were stunned by his actions, "Look what he did, he started eating dirt!" ”
In the midst of a sigh, Li Guohua ran to a pile of earth and shouted excitedly: Folks, our place is a gift from God!
You say, Huo Qing is so real, he can actually taste the taste of earth.
In the current entertainment industry, (it can't be said to be the showbiz, because some are not real actors), some actors have a hard time eating steamed buns, how can they act really?
What's more, some actors directly choose fake food in order to maintain their figure and maintain their beauty in the play. Chewing air in the cheeks to amuse the audience.
If you can't open your mouth, don't act!
Write at the end:
The reason why the drama bones have strength is closely related to the long-term experience and precipitation in different works.
There is a more important reason, that is, dare to act.
This kind of "acting" does not require any skills, and focuses on a reality. Sometimes it doesn't need to be explained by the director, and the actor can do it in independent thinking.
Huo Qing is a good example.
In the section of "eating soil" in the play, how many actors' fig leafs have been torn apart, and how many actors have been taught a vivid lesson? At the same time, it also allows the audience to see how outrageous "fake eating" is!
