Starring Liu Tao, Lin Feng, Lu Fangsheng, Chai Biyun and others, the entrepreneurial theme TV series "The Sea of Stars" is being broadcast on Hunan Satellite TV. Unexpectedly, as soon as this drama was broadcast, it set off a wave of ratings. On the first day of broadcasting, it pressed the popular drama "Breakout" and set the best rating of provincial satellite TV this year with a rating of breaking 1%.
To tell the truth, "The Sea of Stars" just got such a ratings result, or quite surprised, after all, many popular dramas before this have not reached this result. But after watching the production team of this drama, I was relieved. The director of this drama is Yu Ding, the representative work is "Chicken Feathers Fly to the Sky", this drama set a lot of records when it was broadcast a few years ago, and Zhang Yi and Yin Tao won the Tv Emperor Tv with this drama. After four years, Yu Ding once again directed a TV series on the theme of entrepreneurship, and believed that the quality of the drama would be guaranteed.
Compared with the production team, the cast is often more able to determine the ratings of a play. This is not difficult to see from the previous hit dramas, tv series starring Sun Li, Zhao Liying, Jin Dong and others are almost all relatively resistant to ratings. Although these actors did not participate in "The Sea of Stars", the drama party invited another actress who the audience liked very much - Liu Tao.
In recent years, Liu Tao has been very active in the field of TV dramas. From "Langya List" to "Ode to Joy", from "Army Division Alliance of Sima Yi" to "Armageddon", we can see Liu Tao's figure in almost every blockbuster drama. It is through the accurate shaping of each character that Liu Tao has won the support of countless audiences step by step.
With the increase in Liu Tao's lens exposure, many film and television dramas and variety shows have also found her, including bad films and bad variety shows such as "The Words of the Great Song Palace" and "I Am an Actress". Fortunately, Liu Tao's participation in not many bad films, so her audience popularity is still good.
In view of Liu Tao's very high national popularity, coupled with the fact that the male protagonist is also a popular Hong Kong actor Lin Feng, it is not surprising that the ratings of this drama are high. And Liu Taolinfeng is a powerful faction, both appearance and acting skills, in the end what kind of spark will be wiped out in the play is still worth looking forward to.
In fact, many people are running to the two leading actors to chase this drama. However, the performance of Liu Tao and Lin Feng in this drama has aroused the doubts of many netizens, among which the most complained about is the problem of their age.
In this play, Jian Ai, played by Liu Tao, is a growth role, which can be divided into three stages, from childhood to adolescence and then to middle age. And Liu Tao suddenly began to act from a young girl, which made many viewers unacceptable. After all, Liu Tao is already 43 years old, although the whole person can look very young through makeup and dressing, but Liu Tao's personal state, manners and young girls in their early 20s are completely inconsistent, so it has attracted many netizens to complain.
In contrast, Ni Hongjie, who is also 43 years old, was very satisfied with the audience's performance in this play. As a middle-aged actress, Ni Hongjie is very clear about her positioning, and what kind of role she should play at what age. In recent years, Ni Hongjie has starred in many "mothers", and this time as a mother, Ni Hongjie is also familiar with it. Although the role of Liang Xiaoyan she played in this play is not much, it is very outstanding. Ni Hongjie's emotional drama is more tense, gentle to her daughter, dismissive of her husband, this sense of difference she holds just right, fully reflects the state of a middle-aged female character.
After watching the performances of two 43-year-old actresses, I personally think it is very important to recognize their own positioning, and actors can challenge their favorite roles, but it is better to try less. In fact, the drama side can completely learn from the drama "Children of Joe's Family", and select some suitable actors at each stage to transition, there is no need for an actor to act from teenagers to middle-aged and elderly people.
As far as the drama "Sea of Stars" is concerned, there are certain problems in casting, and the age and role deviation of Liu Tao, Lin Feng and several other leading actors are obvious, so that everyone complains that this drama is a middle-aged idol drama. In any case, I still hope that the actors will choose the role carefully in the future, so as not to destroy their own audience.
