Preface
On May 14, Jiangsu Satellite TV and Beijing Satellite TV simultaneously broadcast an urban life drama "Old Guy". At a glance, the lineup can be described as star-studded, and the "iron triangle" of Zhang Guoli, Wang Gang, and Zhang Tielin, the three old actors, are all listed. As an audience, it is natural to go for these drama veterans, who would have thought that the most attractive thing is a 56-year-old actress.
Zhou Tao, the famous host of CCTV in the past, starred in the play as a "female boss" Xia Mingzhou. As soon as she opened, she brought a huge visual impact to the audience, she is over half a hundred years old, she has an outstanding temperament, looks charming, as gorgeous and arrogant as a concubine, who would have thought that she would be 56 years old?
In fact, there are many middle-aged actresses in the film and television industry who maintain their appearance very well, but Xia Mingzhou portrayed by Zhou Tao does not just rely on her appearance to support the scene. Her words and deeds reveal the aura of a strong woman. When her husband Sun Qiancheng (played by Wang Gang) came to the company to raise money, she said to him directly: "Okay, don't worry about money, I'll support you." One sentence is domineering, and the audience immediately experienced the style of the so-called "female boss".
In addition to the strong cast, the biggest attraction of the drama "Old Guy" is that the urban life it depicts is very close to reality. In modern society, there are indeed many families where "women are strong and men are weak", where the wife has a successful career while the husband is in a relatively weak position.
In the play, Sun Qiancheng racked his brains in order to raise the start-up capital of the nursing home, and Xia Mingzhou was dismissive of all his plans. One look is enough to make the audience feel the disparity in power of the couple. Sun Qiancheng was like a coquettish and cute child in front of his wife, and in the end, he even threatened to divorce her, which attracted netizens to appeal: "Divorce, I'll marry Mr. Zhou!"
I have to admit that the old couple's bickering really hit the laughter of many audiences. Some people say that this is the tacit relationship between their husband and wife that has cultivated for decades "bedside quarrels and bedside harmony". Looking at Xia Mingzhou's love and hate for her husband, she hates him for always piecing together for nothing, but she pities him again and again and forgives him. Isn't this the norm in many of the families around us?
This may be the charm of Zhou Tao's performance, which portrays the role of Xia Mingzhou into three points, so that the audience can see the spring breeze and the neighbor. The media commented that Zhou Tao interpreted this "female overlord" in a way that was close to the hearts of the people and down-to-earth.
In fact, as early as 2018, Zhou Tao had already switched to the film and television industry and started his "second spring". Although there are not many works, it can be seen from the play "Old Guy" that her acting skills are very solid, and she grasps the subtle emotional changes of the characters just right.
Perhaps, this is the gift given by Zhou Tao's years of hosting experience. Stopping in front of the camera for a long time made her more proficient in the control of the characters' emotions and the embodiment of details. She incarnated as Xia Mingzhou, with that domineering, that indifference, but also that warmth, and built a three-dimensional and vivid character.
Netizens spoke highly of Zhou Tao's performance: "The young lady sings well, the host is great, and now her acting skills are so good, she can do anything!" originally came for other old drama bones, but he was a fan of Zhou Tao, and his acting skills are really impressive. "
Looking forward to the future, I believe that the 56-year-old Zhou Tao will go further and further on the road of film and television. After all, under the aura of a popular host, she has transformed into an excellent actor, and she has well interpreted the calm way of "the old and the old". Through her own efforts, she is redefining a life value.
"Old Guy" is like its name, presenting the most down-to-earth fragments of urban life in the most rustic way. Among them, an ageless "girl's heart" is also emerging, and 56-year-old Zhou Tao is the "pearl" that lights up the screen. She may be too old to know her destiny, but her persistent pursuit of doing a line of love is still young and eternal.
