The cast is strong and the character selection is precise! "The Long Season" was able to win such wide acclaim, thanks to the careful selection of the cast. Fan Wei, Qin Hao, Chen Minghao, Li Gengxi, Zhang Jingchu and other three generations of outstanding actors of the old, middle and young generations, their strength is undoubted, and they have a high degree of compatibility with the role.
Fan Wei plays the role of Wang Xiang in the play, which can be called a classic among the classics. He played this once high-spirited but ultimately frustrated Uncle Northeast vividly, making people completely forget that this is just a fictional character.
From the pride of his youth, to the decadence and sloppiness of middle age, to the loneliness and desolation of old age, Fan Wei perfectly shows the ups and downs of life with superb acting skills.
Chen Minghao, who has worked closely with Fan Weishi, can be called an out-and-out dark horse. He brilliantly interprets the role of Ma Desheng, whether it is the passionate Latin dance in the play, or the scene where Shen Dongliang is hit like sweat and rain, or in the plot where his memory gradually blurs after suffering from cerebral thrombosis, Chen Minghao can handle every detail just right, giving the whole play a strong dramatic tension, which is breathtaking! ! .
It is especially worth mentioning that the role of "Shen Mo" jointly created by Li Gengxi and Zhang Jingchu, two powerful actresses, can be called a god-level combination. They performed the "Shen Mo" in their youth and middle age respectively, and their image, temperament, and demeanor were all highly unified, as if they were the perfect presentation of a person at two ages, giving the audience a wonderful feeling of traveling through time and space.
This high degree of unity is undoubtedly a double victory for both the actor and the director.
3. Interesting facts about actor casting
In fact, in the series "The Long Season", there are many interesting little tidbits hidden. The two leading actors, Chen Minghao and Qin Hao, are both from the legendary star class of the class of 1996, and they are classmates with well-known actors such as Zhang Ziyi, Mei Ting, Hu Jing, Zeng Li, and Qin Hailu.
Therefore, when "The Long Season" was on the air, Mei Ting deliberately promoted these old classmates on social media, praising Chen Minghao and Qin Hao's outstanding performance in the play.
And the one who chose Chen Minghao and Qin Hao as the starring roles was the talented director Xin Shuang. As early as many years ago, Director Xin was deeply attracted by the role of "Fan Debiao" played by Fan Wei in the costume drama "Ma Dashuai", and left a deep and unforgettable impression on him.
Therefore, when he was preparing to shoot a new drama, he naturally remembered Fan Wei and tried his best to tap his unlimited potential.
It can be seen that the reason why the cast of "The Long Season" is so strong is inseparable from the careful planning and ingenious layout of director Xin Shuang. He understands the unique charm of each actor and places them in the most suitable roles, so that everyone can make the most of their strengths and achieve more with less.
Fourth, the crew has a solid foundation and outstanding acting skills
The reason why "The Long Season" was able to receive rave reviews is that the biggest hero behind it is the excellent acting skills of the crew! from Li Gengxi's bold emotional release in the plot of "One Episode Double Kill", to the deep and low pressure of the middle-aged "Shen Mo" portrayed by Zhang Jingchu; and then to Qin Hao's portrayal of the funny Northeast man who daydreams and weighs heavily - each role is a vivid image that the actors have poured their hearts and souls into and carefully carved.
At first, the audience had different opinions on the young version of "Shen Mo" played by Li Gengxi, and some viewers thought that his expression was a little dull, as if he was just a "tool man". However, as long as we observe deeply, it is not difficult to find that Li Gengxi successfully expresses the helplessness and helplessness of a poor child who has been ruthlessly devastated by fate.
Just imagine, how can a young girl who was deceived by her adoptive father, betrayed by her peers and lost her virginity have a twinkle in her eyes? Through his eyes and subtle expressions, Li Gengxi perfectly presented the dark side of Shen Mo's heart.
With the development of the plot, when the blackened Shen Mo embarked on the road of escape after killing people, Li Gengxi instantly broke out with unprecedented anger and power, and that almost crazy look made the audience really feel the distortion and darkness of human nature.
This wonderful performance of "one episode and two kills" undoubtedly gave people a new understanding of her acting skills.
In the middle age stage of Zhang Jingchu's interpretation, she skillfully conveyed Shen Mo's inner anger, grief and determination with only her concise facial expressions and body movements.
When she re-stepped into the rivers and lakes in Fu Weijun's clothes, the hatred in her eyes was distressing; And when confronting Wang Xiang in the taxi, her thoughtful silhouette made it even more difficult to guess her true thoughts.
The two actors are like a perfect combination of light and shadow, which is a perfect match and deservedly deserved.
To sum up, "The Long Season" is undoubtedly a rare masterpiece that leaves a deep impression. The crew has created with great care, bringing together the superb acting skills of many outstanding actors, so that each character has been interpreted and displayed to the same extent regardless of priority.
From Fan Wei's superb performance, the vivid performance of the role of Wang Xiang, the energetic but gradually troubled Uncle of the Northeast, on the screen, to Liu Lin's in-depth analysis, through the deep, mysterious and angry eyes of the eldest lady A Fang; From Chen Minghao's ingenious interpretation, which makes Ma Desheng, who pursues drama and humor, vividly presented, to Zhang Jingchu and Li Gengxi's portrayal of Shen Mo in the young and mature periods respectively, their emotional entanglements, anger, grief, and firmness, every detail is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, full of life, and people can't help but be moved.
Perhaps, just like the theme conveyed in the play "Look forward, don't look back", this TV series brings us not only a tense and exciting plot, but more importantly, a love and cherishment of life, and an unyielding to fate.
Each character is filled with a vision for the future and the tenacity of humanity.
The audience was deeply touched by these real life stories, by the images that were once vigorous but gradually aging, and by the souls who struggled in the darkness but still had a fiery heart.
Without a doubt, this is a masterpiece that deserves to be savored.
6. Thoughts on "looking forward" in life
