A large wave of domestic period dramas is coming, is there any dish for you?
One is "People in the Alley" launched by Noon Sunshine, which brought Yan Ni, Li Guangjie, Jiang Xin and other powerful actors to tell the story of two families in the alley.
There are unknown sadness, and there are also small blessings in life, and you can feel the warmth and healing of this drama by watching the trailer.
One is Mei Ting's "Six Sisters", which focuses on the six sisters of the He family who are the woman supporting the whole day, the eldest sister who is like a mother, the considerate and sensible sister, the family has quarrels, help, and lives a good life.
The lineup of this drama is also strong, and it can be said that it has gathered a lot of good actors.
There is also a "Going North" that was officially announced early, but has not been seen by everyone so far, because it is a period drama that CCTV fancies, which makes people look forward to it.
After all, CCTV's vision of selecting period dramas is obvious to everyone, and "The World", "Our Days", and "The Sea in My Dreams" are all very popular without exception.
And "Going North" is also a work that can make the audience's heart to chase the drama reach its peak from the plot to casting, I believe that as soon as this drama comes out, the drama king in 2024 will be rewritten!
First, focus on the canal people under the changes of the times, and talk about the ups and downs of adults
The original work of "Going North" is a novel written by the famous writer Xu Zechen in four years.
This work mainly tells the story of the century-old history between several families on the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, and the story begins in 1901 and continues to 2014, a hundred years later.
But judging from the adaptation of the script, only part of the plot in the original work was intercepted, and the main time node was from the 90s of the last century to modern times, and the story also revolved around young people who grew up by the canal.
The first version of the trailer presents the life choices made by two generations of the canal family with the changes of the times.
The middle-aged people in the play used to live by the canal, but because of the arrival of a new era, they have to sell the boats they rely on for a living and choose a new way of life in middle age.
Helpless, sad, but can only follow the trend of the times, in a period drama, fully feel the difficulty of middle-aged people.
But why hasn't the younger generation grown up one day? They have spent their youthful and innocent youth, and they will also usher in a difficult adult life.
In the latest version of the trailer, the memories of adolescence are interspersed with the stories of growing up and adulthood, making everyone feel the price of growing up in a more intuitive way.
Once when I was a student, I said that I would never be separated, and I went wherever we went, but when I became an adult, I parted ways with everyone and met a new person, but I gradually drifted away from my young friends.
And the once good brother also encountered all kinds of problems in the process of starting a business, and was hit by reality, leaving the brotherhood behind, the person who used to be hard-mouthed and soft-hearted, said the most hurtful words with an iron heart.
In the past, they would chase the bus to keep each other because of the departure of a friend, but when they became adults, they watched each other get farther and farther away from them, and couldn't say a word to keep each other.
When I was a child, I thought about growing up every day, hoping that time could pass faster, and when I grew up, I realized that the most simple and wanton time in life and the most difficult time to go back was precisely when I was a child.
It can be said that "Going North" has exhausted the ups and downs of the adult world.
Second, Bailu + Ou Hao, the three generations of old, middle and young powerful factions gathered together
In this "Going North", the middle-aged and elderly actors are the foil, and the young actors are the protagonists.
Because Bai Lu has acted in "Police Honor", she is full of trust in her performance in "Going North", after all, most of the actors from the traffic background are deeply engaged in the field of idol romance dramas, and there are few other works that can be done.
Bailu's performance in "Police Honor" is obvious to everyone, his image is down-to-earth, and his acting skills can stand up to the role.
The key is that Bailu is willing to sacrifice her image for the role, just like in this "Going North", although the heroine she plays is a lot more refined as an adult, when she plays the girlhood, she has a dark complexion, pure makeup, and braces on her teeth.
Ordinary but real, rustic and girlish, this intention and sincerity make people look forward to her performance even more!
The actor chose Ou Hao to play, obviously not only because of his strength, but also in terms of image, he is one of the few actors who has a youthful sense of youth when he wears a school uniform, and he is full of elite sense when he wears a suit.
The age span of the characters in this play is not small, from student to adulthood, there is an age difference of nearly ten years, and only by choosing an actor like Ou Hao who can control all stages can people have a more sense of substitution.
In the trailer, Ou Hao performed the difficulties and bitterness of the entrepreneur, breaking down and shouting in the rain when he was self-doubting, the nose of the person watching was sour, and the sense of reality came to his face.
In addition, among the young actors, there are also Zhai Zilu, Gao Zhiting, Li Wanda, etc., all of whom are good actors worthy of recognition.
Among the middle-aged and elderly actors, Hu Jun and Li Naiwen's father are just a few scenes in the trailer, which can not only make everyone feel the greatness of father's love, but also see their hard work in picking up the burden of the family, which is very tearful.
And the characters played by Qi Huan, Liu Weiwei, and Tong Lei vividly depict the differences between middle-aged women, some are simple and unpretentious, some are still charming, and with them, these middle-aged female characters will not be overshadowed.
and Sarina who plays Grandma Ma, although from the perspective of character settings, there are some differences from the original work, but Sarina is like a needle in this drama.
is not only the elder of the entire canal family, but also the only one who has witnessed several great changes in the times, the character portrayal is not easy, but it is still very reassuring to hand it over to Sarina.
epilogue
has a good script foundation and a strong cast, so naturally it also needs a high-quality creative team to add to the quality.
At the beginning of this year, the word-of-mouth score of "The Wind Chaser" was as high as 7.8, which was written by director Yao Xiaofeng. In addition, he has also directed popular dramas such as "Faint Fire" and "Big Husband", and the theme of the era is no stranger to him.
Another director, Zhou Nan, is a treasure director, whose "Da Song Boys' Chronicles 2" and "My Babylon Lover" are all small-budget dramas, but their word-of-mouth is above 7 points.
The most important is the screenwriter of this drama, Zhao Dongling, "Police Honor", "Happiness to Ten Thousand Homes", and "The Glory of the Fathers" are all from him, and good stories are in her hands, which can retain the essence to the greatest extent.
This "Going North" can finally let everyone really see where the upper limit of period dramas is!
Are you optimistic about this drama?
