The period drama "The Pentium Era" starring Tong Dawei and Jiang Xin has been acclaimed continuously and the audience has given five-star praise. This drama is of the same genre as "In the Distance" which has just finished recently. It is no exaggeration to say that the plots of the two dramas are similar, except that one drama focuses on the development of the express delivery industry, and the other focuses on electricity. Research and development of locomotives. In terms of cast, the two dramas are also on the same level, and the leading actors are mainly powerful actors. However, after the premiere of "The Pentium Era", its reputation far exceeded that of "In the Distance" and was praised as a masterpiece worthy of fire. Since it is a drama of the same category, why is there such an obvious gap in word of mouth? In fact, the reason lies in the casting.
When "In the Distance" was first broadcast, it was ridiculed by netizens, saying that Ma Yili was pretending to be tender. Both have entered the middle-aged stage, and even played the role of a girl, which inevitably goes against him. Only Zeng Li's beauty can hold up, and Liu Ye and Ma Yili are both complained. But "The Pentium Era" is different, because compared with Liu Ye, Tong Dawei has a stronger sense of youth. When he first appeared in "Chinese Partner", he showed this advantage vividly. And Jiang Xin is the most eye-catching. Her temperament is more girlish than Ma Yili, which the audience did not expect. After all, Jiang Xin is only 36 years old and Ma Yili is 43 years old, so the gap is obvious.
If Tong Dawei and Jiang Xin were to play "In the Distance" instead of the roles of Ma Yili and Liu Ye, maybe they wouldn't be complained by netizens at that time. From the image point of view, Liu Ye and Ma Yili are indeed very old and are not suitable for this type of work. The reason for the rave reviews of "Pentium Era" is not only the casting, the overall script and the rendering of the atmosphere, but also the style of the whole play, which is much stronger than "In the Distance". Therefore, the lineup is only secondary to whether a play can be called a good play. The most important thing is whether the selected actors are suitable for the roles in the play.
