ranks No. 1 in national ratings! CCTV has another dark horse drama! I can't hide my excitement, finally there is a decent period drama
Today's big brother in the domestic drama market must be a period drama.
The summer idol dramas are rampant, and the sporadic suspense that popped up didn't arouse any big splashes. It's time to start to miss those period dramas that were not enjoyable for a few times.
"Mansion Gate", "Parents' Love", "Crossing the Guandong", "White Deer Plain", "Chicken Feather Flying to the Sky", "Awakening Age", "The World" and so on.
Looking at the playlist, there is no lack of good directors and good actors. Several period dramas are extremely popular, but they just don't want to appear in the summer.
Seeing that summer is already half over, when will a really popular era show come out in 2023?
Kang Honglei came out——
"Father's Grassland, Mother's River" didn't need too much publicity, and it directly appeared on CCTV's eight sets, and even directly won the post-prime time championship in only one episode.
When I saw the title of the play, I thought it was another boring era of clichés. When I clicked on the comment area, everyone was filled with emotions, and even the words couldn't hide their excitement.
"Quite epic", "Superb acting skills", "Kang Honglei is still so sharp", "Heavy hymn of the times".
breaks through the boundaries of good and bad, allowing the audience to directly get to the core of the whole show in one episode.
Kang Honglei jumped out of the best military theme and turned to the drama of the national era. Will this time be a ceiling-level classic?
It was a total surprise. When we were still lamenting that a certain work dared to hint at the characteristics of the age in the plot, "Father's Grassland and Mother's River" directly unfolded the real era scene and showed it to the audience.
finally has a decent period drama.
1. When I went to the toilet, I was regarded as a secret agent
and came in a white dress. From head to toe, this woman looked like a high-class lady. She greeted the doorman in fluent English. After entering the door,
even chatted with the waiter standing at the door, asked him habitually if the newspaper had arrived, and then walked forward step by step on high heels.
Passing by a foreigner, the other party began to praise her skirt undisguisedly, and the woman in the white skirt also responded fluently. There is no flaw at all, it should be the son of a company boss or a high-ranking cadre.
When she came out of the bathroom and was about to open the door to leave, someone stopped her.
The screen changed to the interrogation room, and it turned out that the woman in the white dress was an overseas Chinese working overtime and entered this gorgeous hotel.
asked her what she was doing here——
went to the toilet.
Don't tell me, she explained it like this, I really thought it was a task.
However, the fact is that this girl really came to the toilet. After changing her clothes, the earthy and old-fashioned sense immediately came out.
2. Persuading to report parents
The part where the male protagonist Mo Chengming (played by Li Hongliang) was persuaded to report his parents made me furious, but I was powerless to refute.
Even at his age, he still can't go to school. Activists wearing badges and pigtails have exposed the reason -
If you can't join the regiment, you can't go to school. Isn't it because of your family?
What kind of family, it looks like it's well-dressed, why can't it even go to school?
At first glance, Mo Chengming's father is an intellectual and can play the cello, a fan of literature and art, and the gorgeous dress worn by pretending to be an overseas Chinese is exactly Mo Chengming's mother's clothes. It is not stated clearly, but every detail tells the audience the "petty bourgeois" plot of the parents.
Then, "Little Pigtail" started to make another move—
used the report on his parents to express to the public his determination to sever ties with the "old life" and make a complete revolution.
Good guy, Kang Honglei, you really dare to shoot. I said how come the backlog has been accumulated for so many years, and even after the cuts are so strong, there are few directors in the entertainment industry who can do this.
spoke English extremely fluently, but Mo Chengming's younger sister couldn't even get into the technical school. In order to get a place, she had to sacrifice herself. It's ironic that
only got a qualification to go to a technical school in this way. There is a pungent smile in the smile, which directly touches the hearts of the people. It is worthy of the pen and ink of director Kang Honglei.
Director Kang Honglei's casting principles are still the same as before -
doesn't want any traffic stars, he only looks for actors who are not popular but have acting skills as the leading actors.
Indeed, at the moment I clicked on the feature film, the degree of adaptation between the actors and the characters opened my eyes, and the precise shaping of the characters made the whole show shine.
1. Golden Rooster actor Xie Yuan's posthumous work
Xie Yuan's name may not be very famous in the current entertainment industry, but many drama fans must be very familiar with his face.
He once played the role of a migrant worker in "I Love My Family". A little-known supporting role made people laugh when he appeared on the stage. After that, he won Best Supporting Actor in Hundred Flowers, Best Supporting Actor in Golden Eagle and Feitian, and Best Actor in Golden Rooster for his two works "The King of Chess" and "Big Breath".
In the play, Xie Yuan plays the father of the hero Mo Chengming, a tragic figure full of comedy.
When I saw Xie Yuan's face——
the scene was stable.
In such a heavy age background, the first episode is usually not watched, but Xie Yuan blends the accent and performance just right, full of comedy colors, and straight-line viewability.
is also a huge contrast between the background of the times and the character of the characters, and it also shows the difficulty of Mo Chengming's parents.
2. Wang Tonghui
Du Zhengyang in "Mature Years", Cheng Hao, Xia Jie's master in "Police Honor", and Cao Changqing in "Swords in the Snow", etc. He can always play various roles vividly and calmly. In the new
play, Wang Tonghui is Bao Guobin, the director of the Street Revolutionary Committee.
In front of people, he was respectful, and he said "this child" in one bite, and then looked at Mo Chengming's sister with a creepy look.
In the eyes of others, he is kind, friendly, courteous, and very gentleman.
, however, harbored ill intentions towards the daughter of the Mo family. He asked the other party to change the address from "uncle" to "brother", and then took the opportunity to confide his desire when the two were alone.
is such a sanctimonious beast.
3. Li Hongliang
's debut novel is "Soldiers Assault", which is popular all over the country.
turned around and jumped to the big screen, playing Zhao Shiyan in "The Founding of the Party", and later Kang Honglei picked him up to play Zhao Shiyan again in "Our French Years".
In "Father's Grassland and Mother's River", Li Hongliang finally gets to be the protagonist. He plays Mo Chengming, who wants to get rid of this hopeless home as soon as possible, but on the one hand, he can't do filial piety.
played smoothly with all the characters, and going to the frontier to Inner Mongolia will be the highlight of the show. I'm looking forward to it.
4. Han Haolin
is only 14 years old and has already been in the theater for 8 years. Now Han Haolin has become the "standard feature" of the protagonists in various well-known film and television dramas when they were young. In Kang Honglei's new drama, Han Haolin plays the youngest son of the Mo family, and he is full of drama as soon as he appears.
He has been seriously ill since he was a child, and it is very likely that he will not live long. Han Haolin portrayed the child's cleverness and cuteness without any trace, even if it was just the "background board" in the screen, it was always in the play, no wonder he kept making appointments.
The first episode, the ultimate move has not yet been put on.
In fact, the other leading actors of "Father's Grassland and Mother's River", Ding Yongdai, Siqin Gaowa, Hou Yansong, actor Tumen and many other big stars joined, and the following plots will only become more and more exciting.
Epilogue
From "The Years of Burning Passion", "Soldiers Assault" to "My Commander, My Regiment", Kang Honglei has always strived to make the characters full, the plot vivid and interesting, and make the reality pessimistic full of comedy.
"Father's Grassland and Mother's River" is the same. Perhaps CCTV has full confidence in choosing to release it in the summer. Whether
's new work can make Kang Honglei "confess God" again, we will wait and see!
