The online drama market in 2020 ushered in a small climax of suspense drama. Each platform has launched its own "good show", and recently there has even been a phenomenon of suspense drama "competition on the same stage", so that the series that has just been chased after it has not had time to recall, it fell into the pit of new dramas.
At first, because of the title and baby, the editor thought it was an idol drama. After all, baby’s past urban idol dramas are more familiar. Unexpectedly, after being contacted by netizens, I knew that I almost missed a good show.
How good is "Skyscraper"? Since its inception, Douban's score has remained stable at 8.2 points. Even if the series is about to be finalized and the number of ratings increases, it has not dropped points at all, and more than 85% of netizens recommend it.
In addition to the name of the show, the reason why the show was almost missed by fans is also related to the series only Guo Tao, Yang Zishan, baby, and Ni Hongjie, who once played Zhu Wushuang in "The Legend of Wu Lin", is familiar to most fans. The names of other actors are relatively unfamiliar to everyone. The editor who entered the pit was amazed by the performance of the actors, and after checking it out, it was only then that he discovered that the show had hidden many treasure actors.
Let me talk about the role of Zhong Jie first. The lively and lovely Zhu Wushuang suddenly turned into a sad and pitiful Zhong Jie, which makes the editor still worry about it.
is different from the lively and lovely Zhu Wushuang in "Wulin Gaiden" in that Zhong Jie in "Skyscraper" is a woman who lives in other people's memories.
In the memories of different characters, Zhong Jie is a different image.
For example, in Yan Yongyuan's memories, Zhong Jie was a woman who loved money like her life and was proficient, and her attitude towards children was never asked. However, in Ye Meili's memory, Zhong Jie was another woman who treated her children well, and she was a mother who loved her son like her life.
The shooting method ofis more demanding for the actor, because she has to perform a different character in a person, so as to match the one in everyone's memory.
Even the same scene needs to perform different looks repeatedly.
Except for Ni Hongjie, the other actors in "Skyscraper" are also powerful.
Jiao Gang, who plays Zhong Meibao’s stepfather, Yan Yongyuan, once played Ma Xuewu in the 8.6-point Douban movie "A Thousand Arrows Piercing Heart", and his even more impressive role is his domestic violent Li in the movie "Memory Master" Hang, like Yan Yongyuan in "Skyscrapers", makes people feel scared.
Yan Yongyuan, who is Zhong Jie’s husband and Zhong Meibao’s stepfather in the play, is very good at using pua methods to manipulate women who love him.
So he can calmly hide on the balcony and smoke after killing Zhong Jie without any disturbances, and stay out of the business like a lonely person, calm and scary.
and Lu Yulai, who plays the security guard Xie Paulo. He graduated from the Chinese opera and won the Best TV Film Actor Award at the Beijing University Film Festival, the New Actor of the Chinese Youth Film Forum, and the TV Film Lily Award for Outstanding Actor in performance. 5 awards.
And as the actor who appeared in the first unit drama of "Skyscraper", he perfectly portrayed the image of a suspect who admired Zhong Meibao but couldn't.
In the play, there is also a young actor who has won the same award as Lu Yulai, that is, Zheng Renshuo, who plays Lin Dasen.
He first appeared in the unit drama as a scumbag who betrayed the marriage and cheated on Zhong Meibao, but as the truth of the case surfaced, he discovered that this man treats love consistently.
This kind of shooting method and narrative structure places extremely high demands on actors!
because they not only need to portray two completely different faces for the same character, they also need to shape the character of the character played in different memories based on the memories of different characters.
This is equivalent to each actor playing multiple roles in one person.
Fortunately, the actors who independently support each unit drama are all capable actors.Acting in a rivalry between each other is simply a "fairy fight".
And here, the director adopts the Rashomon-style narrative structure, and divides the series into unit dramas that seem to be independent but are sorted according to the progress of the investigation according to roles, allowing different suspects to face the death of Zhong Meibao from their own perspectives The narration of his case undoubtedly heightens the suspenseful atmosphere of the whole drama, making people want to stop once they enter the pit to chase the drama.
Not only that, in the drama "Skyscrapers", except that the starring actors in the unit drama are all powerful actors, even some supporting actors in the drama have hidden queens. She is Wu Yufang who plays Li Moli's mother.
debuted for nearly 57 years, she has won the Golden Rooster Award for Best Supporting Actress and Hundred Flowers Award for Best Actress.
And Guo Tao and Yang Zishan are the two leading actors. The former has won 5 performance awards, and the latter has won 8. They are both senior and capable actors. In particular, Jiang Defu, the upright and loving family soldier played by Guo Tao in "Parents Love", left a deep impression on many audiences.
Not to mention that in order to capture multiple shots of piano playing in the play, Cao Enqi and 13-year-old Li Xuerui were invited. Both the young and the young performers have won the piano competition.
plus this play is directed by three directors, of which Chen Zhengdao and Xu Zhaoren are also film directors who have won international awards. Therefore, this drama will not only make people feel like watching a movie, but also better present the performance of the powerful actors in the drama.
From this point of view, "Skyscraper" is properly a drama with powerful actors on the same stage!
is precisely because of this, the editor can stay up all night and chase 16 episodes in one go.
