urban drama, how long has it been since Wang Zha?
If the theme of the era is the unchanging big brother in the domestic drama market, then the urban drama is definitely the favorite of the group that is full of focus.
From "Ode to Joy" to "Everything is Good", "Thirty Only", and then to "Little Joy", "The rest of my life, please advise", "Installation" and "Ideal City" and so on.
Regardless of the classification, there will always be urban dramas with soaring word-of-mouth ratings and soaring topicality every year, and there are even more than one.
Looking back at 2023, there are quite a few urban themes, but none of them can have the last laugh.
This time, a ruthless character finally came -
"The Imperfect Victim", a pure web drama, was favored by two major first-line satellite TVs. On the first day, two episodes of Beijing and Zhejiang met with the audience. The ratings of the first two episodes both broke through 1.5, and even directly won the championship and runner-up.
opened up a new track for suspense, completely focusing on "sexual assault in the workplace", vividly showing everyone's perspectives in front of the audience from all angles.
This summer, after all, is the world of female suspense themes!
watched the 4 episodes released on the Internet in one go, and only one feeling -
is not enough, really not enough.
The relationship between the characters is clear and clear, and the plot is completely promoted by the case without any water injection. Every expression change or line of each character is very useful.
opens with a woman sitting in a bathtub wrapped in nothing but a towel. She kept fiddling with the faucet switch, and finally couldn't help lying in the bathtub and crying silently.
what's wrong?
Silent night, messy room, the police suddenly came.
The man who explained in a panic took a general look around the room, and the female criminal policeman Yan Ming (played by Zhong Chuxi) knocked on the door of the bathroom.
She asked the girl if she called the police, but the girl was in a trance and didn't answer. Next, she didn't show any face—
have you been raped?
Zhao Xun (played by Lin Yun) widened his eyes and wanted to say something, the camera cut back to Yan Ming, then to Chenggong (played by Liu Yijun), and finally returned to the empty, frightened girl's face.
After watching the following physical examination process, I really understand why so many victims choose to give up reporting at critical moments in the end. In the
drama, there is not a single scene that is frivolous or straightforward, but it just made me break out in a cold sweat.
The cold physical examination room, the step-by-step process, and the cold equipment, the girl fell down and spread her legs as required. She frowned and yelled "it hurts".
Scenes from the past directly crashed into my mind, how could it not be considered a secondary injury, but if I didn't do this, I couldn't bring the murderer to justice.
"When did you wake up?" "Where was he when you woke up?" "What was he doing at that time?"
asked three times in a row, and each question was hard to say. Where can
be when he wakes up, what else can he do?
Zhao Xun suppressed his emotions, but he had to think about the time when he was hurt again if he wanted to answer the question. Her psychological defenses gradually collapsed.
Due to professional requirements, Yan Ming's tone remained flat, but his eyes had already betrayed her. As a woman, she couldn't help empathizing with the other party.
As for Zhao Xun, she was already in tears, not only was it difficult for her to speak, but she also felt desperate for herself again.
From the collection of evidence, to the continuous cross-examination of the bottom line, to the "forced" specific culpability of the "strong j", every step requires the victim who has suffered a double blow physically and mentally to take one step after another.
After being hurt, the fragile and sensitive nerves will be repeatedly trampled on. If the process of being hurt is one injury, then it will be the second or third time, or even a longer front, and we must continue to fall into painful memories.
victim needs perfection?
When the victim becomes a "victim", he is doomed to become "less perfect" mentally and physically, and every word may turn into a knife and penetrate deeply into the other person's heart.
Therefore, Zhao Xun withdrew the case this time. However, what made her decide to come forward and call the police again, and what should be done so that people like Chenggong can really be brought to justice. Everything in
must be unlocked through the following plot.
From the phenomenal explosion of "Menghualu", we can actually see Director Yang Yang's uniqueness in casting, and "Imperfect Victim" once again proves this point.
1. Zhou Xun
After watching "Xiao Min's House", I really have to worry about whether Zhou Xun can handle the characters this time. After all, there is no difference between a gentle female doctor and a sassy female lawyer.
When she appeared, my eyes lit up——
is absolutely stable!
was dressed in black from head to toe, without any light to set off, and completely opened up the aura. Looking at the attitude of the crowd, it didn't feel like acting. In the first four episodes of
, Lin Lu played by Zhou Xun has no emotional lines, so he always showed a cold and professional attitude. It wasn't until Lin Lu came to Zhao Xun's house as an attorney with a successful contract and was questioned by Zhao Xun that he almost collapsed.
As Zhao Xun gradually got to the point, Lin Lu's expression changed from gentle to cold and serious.
This kind of seriousness is not dull or sluggish, from the change in Lin Lu's eyes, it can be seen that she is emotional. is a female , she seems to be directly poked in the heart by sharp words, is also a lawyer , ten years of work experience makes her unable to break the defense.
So when Lin Lu's mood changes drastically, he immediately sets up a line of defense for herself. However, this line of defense allows her to wear a mask, but it cannot cover her eyes.
It seemed that Lin Lu's expression was even colder, but he covered the lower half of her face. Those eyes full of hot tears and suppressed emotions had already betrayed her.
Every time the camera sweeps over Zhou Xun, it will always make people feel that this is an immersive blockbuster. Perhaps, this is the true strength of 's three gold actresses plus double visual queens.
2. Liu Yijun
The uncrowned king is well-deserved, when Liu Yijun plays the role of a scumbag again, the kind of sanctimonious, righteous evil makes people itch.
When he was successfully reported to the police by an anonymous report of rapist, he was not the slightest bit nervous, even confident and a little angry.
He is a gentleman to the outside world, and he swears to the lawyer. As soon as the house was closed, he was very ambiguous towards Li Yi (played by Dong Jie), and hurriedly apologized to the other party for his mistake, which is completely the image of a good man.
To my wife, I deal with life tacitly.
knew it was his fault, but asked his wife to immediately post a public relations document to prove the firmness of their relationship. Hearing that the other party said that he was going to get a divorce, Cheng Cheng, who was afraid that his family property would be divided, changed his face instantly.
used a completely different attitude and tone to everyone. He couldn't hear a single truth from him. This is success.
A stinking man with a refined appearance and a rotten heart, don't tell me, the eyes of the sun at noon are poisonous, and this villain has to be played by Liu Yijun with a sense.
3. After watching Chen Shu
Chen Shu really surprised me this time.
In the play, she is Xin Lu, the successful wife whose relationship has already been broken. Chen Shu and Liu Yijun have back and forth in the play, and the secret rivalry has even reached the level of the public. The aura is so strong that even Liu Yijun can't hold it back.
4. Lin Yun
The biggest surprise of the whole drama, Lin Yun plays the most critical character Zhao Xun, and the storyline starts from the case of her being violated.
Lin Yun's acting skills have improved visible to the naked eye.Every expression directly grabbed the audience's heart, fear and panic, incomprehensible despair, and unspeakable humiliation, she fully grasped all emotions.
no matter whether it is a party scene with any Mesozoic power, it is completely easy to watch, and it makes people hold their hands tightly.
Appeared without makeup, she cried as soon as she appeared on the stage, and every crying scene can cry out completely different emotions. Perhaps, "The Mermaid" is the biggest misunderstanding of Lin Yun's acting skills.
In addition, the acting skills of Dong Jie, Bao Dazhi who played Zhao Lidong in "Hurricane", and Hao Ping who played Cao Chuang are also amazing.
These actors' in-depth handling of the characters made this big play come alive on paper, and the audience was already a part of the play almost as soon as they entered the stage.
Conclusion
The production team is all women from the director to the screenwriter, and the main actors are also women. From the scenes in the play, it can be seen that Director Yang Yang has a good grasp of the audience's psychology. The language of the
camera is very exciting and sharp, but there is no straightforwardness. It is not only very friendly to female actors, but also full of suspense. The appearance of
's "Imperfect Victim" only proves one sentence -
is not painful or itchy, what face is called "female subject matter".
What makes a successful wife endure betrayal, what makes an elite woman like Li Yi know that Chenggong is three, what makes Chen Xun withdraw the case in a timely manner, and what makes Chenggong so blatant?
"Perfect" men, and "imperfect" victims, what is the definition of "perfect"?
Everything, wait for "Imperfect Victim" to solve the mystery for us. #娱乐电影大赞#
