In the film and television industry, although the output of idol dramas and costume dramas is relatively high, it is undeniable that historical dramas The position can never be shaken.
After all, our country has a long history, especially those difficult years that people dare not forget. With the improvement of people's living standards, historical dramas not only meet people's daily leisure and entertainment requirements, but also play a certain role. The role of education and learning.
However, high-quality historical dramas are hard to come by. The previous "Age of Awakening" can be said to have been maxed out by netizens , not only those who have come step by step from the hard times to today. The whole generation loves to watch it, even the post-00s generation who grew up in the honey pot of the new era also like it very much.
Every sentence in every episode makes people excited and it is difficult not to get excited. Because of this, every time a historical drama is released, netizens are eagerly looking forward to it.
But netizens are constantly being stabbed in the back. Especially "Ask the Cangmang", which was released not long ago, was disappointing. However, "Kunpeng Strikes the Waves" released yesterday has restored the quality of historical dramas.
Not as good as the expected "Ask the Cangmang"
Although ancient puppets and romance seem to have become synonymous with popular dramas, the status of historical dramas is unshakable, but the premise is that the quality of this drama cannot be stretched. After all, netizens are very good at understanding good and bad.
But some time ago, "Ask the Cangmang" was just a false shot for netizens. The publicity before the launch of was overwhelming. Both the production process and the cast were hyped, making netizens eager to move their small stools. Waiting for it to start broadcasting.
was a slap in the face after it was aired. was completely different from netizens’ expectations. was even worse than the publicity. Many netizens were disappointed and abandoned the show after watching a few episodes.
Although "Ask the Cangmang" did not perform as expected in terms of service and cast, the biggest failure in "Ask the Cangmang" is probably Baike, the actor who plays Chiang Kai-shek.
It is difficult for netizens to understand just the fit between the actors and the characters. The director's casting standards, after all, Baike plays the extremely wealthy Chiang Kai-shek, which is really difficult for netizens to get into.
You must know that Chiang Kai-shek in history was a man with a fiery temper, ruthless methods and deep connections. In fact, he was also a relatively complicated person.
The actors chosen must be those who can give people a sense of scheming. Not only is it more convenient to portray the characters, but it also allows the audience to quickly get involved in the drama.
However, "Ask the Cangmang" chose Bai Ke to play Chiang Kai-shek. His confused and slightly ignorant expression made it really difficult for the audience to accept his role as Chiang Kai-shek.
If the image is a bit difficult to replace, you can actually make up for it with your acting skills, but in terms of acting skills, it is obvious that Bai Ke has not made up for it.
His acting skills made it even more difficult for the audience to follow his performance. unconsciously frequently acted out and distracted. Some netizens speculated that this was probably related to the role Bai Ke had played before.
As soon as I look at Bai Ke, I always feel that he will suddenly make a very funny action in the next second. This also tells the actor from the side the disadvantages of playing the same type of role for a long time.
Although having played similar roles for a long time makes me comfortable in performances, the acting path has been greatly narrowed. Compared with the Age of Awakening, "Ask the Cangmang" is undoubtedly not a masterpiece.
Is it difficult to make a high-quality historical drama like "The Age of Awakening"? This not only confused netizens, but fortunately, "Kunpeng Strikes the Waves", which premiered yesterday, has greatly turned the tide. has made a comeback for the quality of historical dramas. situation.
The new drama "Kunpeng Strikes the Waves"
Just when "Ask the Cangmang" disappointed the audience, yesterday "Kunpeng Strikes the Waves" was released on Beijing Satellite TV, Zhejiang Satellite TV and Guangdong Satellite TV.
This drama is likely to be a dark horse among historical dramas this year. This drama is mainly from the perspective of young Mao Zedong, telling what happened from 1918 to 1921.
It is worth mentioning that this year happens to be the 130th birthday of Chairman Mao, and this drama is to commemorate and pay tribute to the great man. It must have been a real effort in all aspects.
Judging from the episodes that aired last night, this drama performed quite well. The story line is complete and the rhythm is tight. There is no sloppiness and there is no lag in the lines, which is in line with the characteristics of that era.
Judging from the screen, 's service is also quite good. does not make people feel like they are in a drama, but makes people feel like they are in that turbulent and passionate era.
The production team of "Kunpeng Strikes the Waves" also worked hard. Judging from the screenwriter Chen Jin, this drama has a strong guarantee in terms of plot.
After all, he is a writer who has studied Mao Zedong for many years. Regarding this period of history unfolding from Mao Zedong’s perspective, I believe he can create a good script.
With such a senior writer as the screenwriter, there is no need to have a good basic script for a drama. At the same time, Chen Jin also contributed his own strength in the characterization of the characters. It is no wonder that from the existing few Looking at the collection, each character is relatively full and three-dimensional.
In addition to Chen Jin, this drama also has national first-level screenwriter Ma Jihong joining . The two of them worked together to create the script of this drama. I can't imagine how great this drama will be.
After all, Ma Jihong is the screenwriter who created such a good book as "Diplomacy" and won the Feitian Award. In addition, the well-received "People by the Canal" co-starring Han Xue and Wang Lei The play was also written by teacher Ma Jihong.
With a good script, the director must also have certain qualifications and abilities. The director of this drama is Liu Biao, who directed such masterpieces as "Taierzhuang" and "Imperfect Her". As a director , not only has served as a film director, but has also been responsible for the shooting of many films, which can be said to be full of experience.
I believe that his characterization of light and shadow, scenes and characters is very good. This TV series will also shine under his guidance. After all, it cannot live up to such a good drama script written by the Wang Zha Group. .
The screenwriters and directors are all very capable, and actors cannot naturally stretch their hips. After all, no matter how good the director or writer is, they all need good actors to present their works on the big screen.
"Kunpeng Strikes the Waves" not only has the family members of the veteran actor Wang Zhifei, but also new-generation actors. The perspective of this drama is mainly based on the young Mao Zedong, so it is natural to find a actor who can perfectly interpret the youth. The casting of Mao Zedong is a top priority.
As for the actor who plays Mao Zedong, it seems that everyone will unconsciously think of Gu Yue or Tang Guoqiang. After all, these two people stand out among the actors in terms of appearance, and they are also very capable in acting.
But teacher Tang Guoqiang is already over 70 years old. It is obviously unrealistic to play the role of young Mao Zedong, and the director seems to have his own ideas. This time he boldly chose a new actor.
In fact, at the beginning, netizens were skeptical about Liu Chenglin, a new actor with good features who had just debuted. However, after the show started last night, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Although he has a face that looks like that of an idol boy band, he still works very hard when acting. In the drama, he does not have the idol baggage that netizens worry about, and he cannot let go of such problems.
On the contrary, for the role, he plays his image to look younger, takes a steady and real route, and when performing, he is not just a "vase", body language and lines are all in place .
Even if he was playing against an experienced actor, he could handle it. also had amusement in his eyes. It can be said that this time he did not disappoint the director, let alone the audience.
Judging from the few episodes that have been aired so far, "Kunpeng Strikes the Waves" can be regarded as a dark horse in historical dramas this year. I hope that the subsequent plot can live up to the audience's praise and expectations for it.
