On the evening of September 24, the third episode of the video platform of the TV series " Wind Dog Boy's Sky " was launched and premiered. The play is directed by Zhang Yibai, starring Peng Yuchang and others, and it tells a group of high school students' learning and emotional stories. Director Zhang Yibai is good at shooting films and TV dramas of this kind of theme. Judging from the content of the plot that has been broadcast in "The Sky of the Wind Dog", the play adheres to the creative style of director Zhang Yibai.
A group of senior high school students, good students encounter bad students, conflicts, but in the end they still have friendship, and they even want to start love. As a youth-themed film and television drama, this "The Sky of the Wind Dog" seems to be in content. Not new. Of course, in the specific narrative of the bridge segment, this TV series also has its own clear pursuit, which is to try to make these seemingly unreal narratives stand firmly on the ground.
In order to achieve this sense of ground, the heroes and heroines in this TV series speak a so-called Chongqing dialect. Of course, many viewers have stated in the short comments of Douban and others that these Chongqing dialects are lame and untrue, but instead make the real Sichuan and Chongqing audiences uncomfortable. For the use of dialects, it is a double-edged sword. As an old editor who is not a Sichuan-Chongqing audience, I feel that the use of this dialect is appropriate and allows the characters to stay in an effective Chongqing environment.
At the same time, another way for this TV series to get stuck on the ground is to shape the fathers of these children. They are all ordinary people, and they even set up small businesses on the street. This is the most direct and effective way to make the plot and the characters smokey. In the drama that has been broadcast, the actor played by Peng Yuchang suddenly stopped running when he was racing against Xueba, because his old sneakers had been glued, and he was embarrassed to let everyone see this. This kind of bridge is grounded and one of the technical means of screenwriters.
Obviously, this TV series works hard to tell the audience that the plot we acted is largely true. For this kind of campus drama, there are some paradoxical relationships between the pursuit of truth and the narrative text. If you don't pursue reality, the audience will feel that you are making up your mind. Director Zhang Yibai’s past youth-themed TV dramas have already faced these questions. In the pursuit of truth, in fact, high schools in reality are strictly managed one by one, and everyone is learning against the clock. There is no such fun in the plot.
All campus-themed film and television dramas have to face this paradox. If you follow to create according to the truth, there will be no things to watch, no fun, it is all round and round of learning. If you are looking for something to watch and have fun, you have to make up and take some characters into a crazy state. This "Sky of the Wind Dog" is the role played by Peng Yuchang to take on this crazy task, and let this role amuse the audience.
and this kind of crazy amused role is prone to a state of farce, making the audience suspect that the actor is lowering his IQ to "complete" the role. Therefore, in specific performances, the more such a farce role, the more restrained acting skills are required, and the more intelligent or even advanced wisdom of the role needs to be presented. Therefore, in "The Sky of the Wind Dog", Peng Yuchang's performance is based on the early Zhou Xingchi, which is a self-deprecating and self-disintegrating style.
's use of this kind of acting skills will inevitably appear to be polarized in word of mouth. In Stephen Chow's early film works, this kind of nonsensical performance was defined by a generation of fans as the top high-end. Therefore, later a large number of actors who learned Zhou Xingchi's acting style were all ridiculed as stubborn dogs. As far as Peng Yuchang is concerned, it is obvious that he will also face criticisms such as Gou Wei Xu Di and Dong Shi Xiao Ning.
and the other pole is a strong affirmation of Peng Yuchang's acting skills. These affirmative voices, especially from Peng Yuchang's fan group. For young actors, not many can perform Zhou's comedy style. Although Peng Yuchang used too much force in some parts of the bridge, he at least found the taste of Zhou's self-ridicule and irony. Said that Peng Yuchang might become the future Zhou Xingchi, it should be more than justA good wish.
Zhou Xingchi's performance style is to be established, the real requirement is that the plot needs to have typical social sentiments, especially ironic feelings. Zhou's early comedy films were all aimed at satire and were very powerful. The core content of this irony is social. On the other hand, Peng Yuchang's "The Sky of the Wind Dog", the current three episodes of the plot, are still the content of high school children and children. This is actually a reduction of the acting style created by Zhou. Peng Yuchang's post-modern performance is still limited to the category of personal emotions. Although interesting, it is not advanced. Among the TV series
, the heroine Zhang Jingyi is highly likely to gain more popularity. In the plot, this is a typical Xiao Tsing Yi role. This kind of role is easy for young audiences to have a sense of beauty like the goddess of Banhua. Zhang Jingyi herself also performed a role in Xiao Tsing Yi's category, which is quite satisfactory.
Therefore, on the whole, the quality level of "The Sky of the Wind Dog" is stable, and the content level maintains the temperament of director Zhang Yibai. At the actor level, Zhang Jingyi can be popular, and Peng Yuchang's acting skills are indeed lower than those of the same age. Young actors are better.
