Editor|Tingzhou Film and Television Entertainment Review
Recently, it was swiped by a costume drama.
At first glance, it was a bit nonsensical, the hero and heroine in the previous life died unevenly, and when they woke up, they were reborn.
As the plot unfolded, the audience found that it was a bit top.
What really surprised the audience was that this drama abandoned the affectionate veins of the past ancient puppets and smashed the dignity and hypocrisy.
It's the first time I've seen so many ancient puppets with "sassy words".
At the beginning, Li Rong, who was the eldest princess, was seriously ill and looked like a withered tree.
And the male protagonist Pei Wenxuan has a beard and deep eyes, and at first glance he is a shrewd and sophisticated minister.
There are also a number of characters in the play, unwilling, regretful, and dragonflying, with a few words, which makes people can't help but wonder, what kind of bond does they have?
Although it is a theme of rebirth, the director of "Spending the Year of China" is ingenious, intertwining reality with memories of his past life, and his sense of fate is long-lasting.
In the play, Zhang Linghe's sometimes sincere and sometimes heartfelt disgusted eyes look at people with big teeth.
Li Rong, played by Zhao Jinmai, returned from rebirth, and also abandoned the reserve of living in the deep palace for a long time.
For Pei Wenxuan, the "pillow man" who used to have a lot of grievances, he will never swallow it alone when he has a fire in his heart, and as soon as he gets angry, he is "Pei Wenxuan's dog thing".
People don't talk much.
This kind of unrepressive and straightforward protagonist, I have to say that the audience loves it too much.
In the play, the two just finished saying "never see each other again", and Li Rong turned his face and fell into trouble.
Pei Wenxuan's first reaction was to rescue Li Rong, and he also calmly planned his actions according to his own understanding of Li Rong in his previous life.
As a result, a rope did not fall into the villain, but it tripped Li Rong.
The two engaged in a debate on the deep silence of the wilderness, "how embarrassing are you" and "you still have the face to say".
Good guys, between a few back and forth of the camera, the quarrel is already in full swing.
This BGM is really appropriate.
Regardless of the subject matter, as long as the plot can be self-justifying, logical coherent, and clear-minded, it is a good drama.
The reason why "Du Hua Nian" gives people a refreshing feeling is that after rebirth, when the beauty that was not cared about and passed in a hurry resurfaces in front of them, the sense of wonder may only be described as a world away.
It's not pretentious, it's the most ordinary fireworks.
The original work of this drama, in fact, is not very eye-catching when placed in the online text.
Whether it is reborn and opened, or reunited with a broken mirror, it is very common.
But when a drama tells a story seriously and presents the most real and unvarnished state of life, it will inevitably attract the audience no matter when.
Regardless of the male protagonist or male partner, the average person has a good appearance
The plot is interesting, but what about the actors?
The audience said that Zhang Linghe stopped there, don't say it, the humble gentleman with a face like a crown of jade and a graceful demeanor really has an image.
Coupled with a height of one meter nine and an unhurried temperament, I have to say that the ancients were chosen by heaven.
Zhao Jinmai's modern dramas are the majority, and this time the costume style is also a high cranial crown.
My sister took control, the blower blew, and the elegant and agile Li Rong seemed to have really come out of the novel.
When the protagonist group is fighting wits and courage, at this moment, the ups and downs of the court are also quietly staged.
This has to talk about Su Rongqing, the second male played by Chen Heyi, and Li Chuan played by Liu Xuwei.
One is the first son of Jinghua in the play, and the other is His Royal Highness the Prince, who also has clear eyebrows and big ears to steal the spotlight.
The character of Su Rongqing was a pollution-free little white flower in his previous life, but later he experienced the pain of annihilation.
Relying on the intercession of the eldest princess Li Rong, she was lucky enough to save her life, but she was still punished and mutilated.
So he hibernated, and finally poisoned the eldest princess in his previous life and seized power.
As soon as he appeared, although he seemed weak, he was actually very assertive.
After negotiating a few words with Li Rong, he regretted that he didn't dare to marry the princess, and it was a little unpredictable that the mind hidden under Sven's appearance, Chen Heyi's interpretation was still very satisfying.
Another character, Li Chuan, is the prince of a country and the younger brother of Li Rong.
At the same time, he is also a power threat under one person and above ten thousand, and is suspicious of the emperor.
At that time, he was just a carefree teenager who was worried about his sister.
And the contrasts between Li Chuan's various behaviors in the past and present life in the play show that he must have experienced something.
The innocent boy became a calculating emperor, and there was only a gap of twenty years in between.
Let's see how Liu Xuwei acts.
Looking at the high appearance of the male supporting role, many viewers shouted: The last time I saw such an amazing male supporting actor was in "Know".
However, no matter how good the actor's appearance is, the lighting is indispensable to "match".
Film and television presentation looks at the lighting, "Flowers" textbook
In addition to the plot and acting skills that surprised the audience, I must talk about the lighting of this drama, which is really eye-catching.
Whether it is the first sunny day after the rain, the real sunshine sprinkled on Li Rong's face;
When portraying the characters, the contrast between light and dark light and shadow seems to make the characters in the play more three-dimensional.
Looking at the current film and television drama market, there are many filters and dermabrasions with all kinds of tricks.
Yu Zheng, the editor of "Ink Rain Clouds", which was popular some time ago, once said:
I'm post-adding the same filter.
As a result, all kinds of "death tones" still "started" on the audience.
It was originally a top beauty.
As soon as it arrived at Yu Zheng's lens, the "eight-character sticker" shape that has remained unchanged for thousands of years, and the same "high-grade gray" color palette.
White is white, but it's about the same as "face like ashes".
The careful lighting not only allows the actors to present a more distinct screen image, but also hints at psychological changes and portrays character portraits when the story takes place, ups and downs, so as to silently render the shocking sense of atmosphere and artistic conception.
All of these are far from the real light and shadow effects that can be brought by mass-produced black technology.
Why does everyone prefer "Flowers", which has been sharpened for three years and insisted on using a single camera to shoot, and finally presents a great movie texture?
At a glance, people can see the difference between it and other dramas.
The reason lies in the brilliant colors and real light and shadow.
Frame by frame, Wong Kar-wai carefully arranges the lighting of each scene, outlining the outlines of the characters and increasing the sense of drama through flexible camera movement and chiaroscuro contrast.
According to the characteristics of the characters, supplemented by strong or blurry shots, it finally shows the ups and downs of Shanghai in the 90s.
Let's go back and look at "The Year of China".
Although it is a costume light comedy, the director still restored the arc of the characters to the greatest extent when shooting.
Human nature is complex, but at the same time it is not lacking in brilliance.
When portraying Li Rong's ambivalence after rebirth, as well as Pei Wenxuan's resourcefulness, it added a lot of heaviness and realism to the play.
And with the intention of props, light and shadow, it will bring unexpected effects to the actors' acting skills.
"Heavenly Officials' Blessing" is still early, and it is rare to endure loneliness
Zhao Jinmai, who was born in 02, graduated from Chinese opera.
In 2022, she was nominated for the 35th Huading Award with an infinite stream of "The Beginning", and at the same time, she broke the drama path of "daughter professional household" since she was 8 years old, and was pleasantly surprised by everyone.
Her appearance is not a very stunning type, but she has her own characteristics.
And in "The Year of China", Zhang Linghe, as the leading actor, also set off a lot of popularity this time.
Many viewers feel that Xiao Zhang's acting skills have improved again.
In terms of acting experience, compared with 22-year-old Zhao Jinmai, Zhang Linghe, who is 5 years older, can be regarded as a "late junior".
Zhang Linghe, who graduated from Southern Normal University, dreamed of becoming a scientist when he was a child.
And he has been working hard for this, and his top-ranked science results have been talked about by many fans.
It's just that, as he grew up, he found that he didn't seem to be too satisfied with the 9-to-5 life.
In 2019, he officially stepped into the ranks of actors.
He slowly felt that as an actor, it was a very interesting thing to experience a different life in a short period of time.
Many people know him because of the news of the film and television of "The Blessing of Heavenly Officials".
Thanks to the fire of "Chen Qing Ling", the material of the two male protagonists is unmatched for a while.
However, the explosion of one type of work, while being sought after, and many imitations and reproductions followed, was mixed with mud and sand.
At that time, the news that Zhang Linghe was waiting for filming in the crew came, and some people were happy and some were worried.
Especially when you see the production team, the slightly rough makeup.
However, due to the subject matter, the filming finally came to an abrupt end in a radio and television statement.
Some viewers feel regretful, and some book fans secretly rejoice.
During this period, Zhang Linghe, who has starred in many films and televisions, has been tepid.
The time has come to 2022, and the "Canglan Jue" produced at a small cost.
Under the careful production and heavy concept, it broke out of the encirclement of a number of ancient puppets and gained a phenomenal popularity.
In the play, Changheng Xianjun, who exists like a little orchid "white moonlight", has long entered the hearts of the audience.
Gentle and steady, silently guarding, Zhang Linghe's interpretation is very in place.
It was also at this time that after several tosses and turns, he was finally seen by more people after ups and downs in the entertainment industry.
No matter in terms of height or appearance, Zhang Linghe is actually not easy to ignore in the crowd.
But the showbiz with many talents is also a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger.
Outstanding height and handsome appearance can only bring temporary attention.
If you want to go on for a long time, you can't endure loneliness.
And Zhang Linghe's personal charm was slowly discovered by the audience.
Frank, smiling, and hands-on.
Occasionally, he will also pour out his worries in front of the screen.
Last year, I participated in "Longing for Life", and He Jiong and others set up a tent with wood, where is the force point, how to build it is more appropriate, and the thinking is clear, and it actually convinces everyone in minutes.
In addition to filming, he also has many hobbies.
The editor thinks that it is precisely such a real Zhang Linghe who can shoot Pei Wenxuan, who is "disgusted and written on his face" but makes people feel good.
epilogue
Good works are always full of a strong breath of life, and actors who are good at observing life will definitely be seen by the audience.
