What drama is the most popular recently?
If we only go by the popularity of the Internet, the contemporary business war drama "Flowers" currently being broadcast on CCTV is well deserved.
But it is impossible for all viewers to like the table of delicacies that Wong Kar-wai sets out on Huanghe Road.
Shanghai merchants are fighting for dominance, handsome guys and beautiful girls love and hate each other, even Jacky Cheung's hit song "Stealing Heart" more than 20 years ago cannot steal everyone's heart.
In addition to the soon-to-be-aired period drama "Dajiang Dahe 3" by CCTV1 and the upcoming "South to North" during the Spring Festival, period dramas still seem to be the most popular dramas at the beginning of the year.
It seems that all kinds of period dramas have taken turns in the past two months, but in fact there is still a big missing section -
's family dramas.
These five words may seem unfamiliar, but in fact, almost everyone knows famous works, such as "Desire" and "Crossing Guandong", and recent ones such as "The World" and so on.
It is not difficult to find that nowadays, when ancient puppet shows and urban dramas are rampant, such themes are extremely rare, let alone good dramas.
The main reason is that the requirements for scripts and actors are extremely high, which is far less pleasing than genres such as ancient puppets. After all, there are too few period dramas like "In the World".
Fortunately, another good drama has finally appeared. Although the audience has been waiting for 10 years -
The filming of the drama was completed in 2012. It was briefly broadcast on the terrestrial channel in 2013. The ratings were good but the volume was not large. People who paid attention Not much.
But tonight, it was finally broadcast on Tianjin Satellite TV - "Qijiu River Opens".
In the past few years, Tianjin Satellite TV has created two dark horses with period historical dramas. One is "Ding Da Ming" the year before last, and the other is
Last year, "Da Sheng" was broadcast on four major TV stations in Shanxi, Hubei, Tianjin and Inner Mongolia. Kui".
, a second-tier TV station that is good at catching dark horse dramas, can it bet on the dark horse this time?
seems to still work.
only released 2 episodes for the first time. The second episode ranked fifth in the ratings on satellite TV, but in fact, the gap with "Flowers" broadcast on Jiangsu Satellite TV is not big. The follow-up ratings have gained momentum, and maybe it can really overtake it. It seems that this drama does have something.
There is no feasting and feasting on the Yellow River Road, but it is the most powerful and deep-rooted existence in the lives of ordinary people.
Today, let’s chat together, what is the dark horse drama of the era of “the rivers bloom in the seventh and ninth years, and the wild geese come in the eighth and ninth”?
01. Two national first-class actors were eliminated in just two episodes? The opening of this period drama is a bit fierce.
In the 1970s, the trees were lush and lush in the Northeast forest farm.
The camera panned out, and in the vast snow-covered forest, a group of horse thieves were busy logging.
is following Wang Youfu, played by Ni Dahong.
In a tent not far away, the old forest ranger brothers played by Zhang Guangbei and He Zhengjun were drinking heavily with the old Inner Mongolian brothers, while several children were playing around.
From the very beginning, the flavor of an epic period drama about civilian family love is revealed.
I have to say that the screenwriter of this drama knows how to "retain the audience."
After the main characters are introduced at the beginning, the rhythm of the plot immediately becomes tight. It can be said that conflicts and conflicts are endless, making people unable to stop watching.
Counting only the first two episodes, there were at least three big troubles.
The first trouble - catching the horse thieves;
Inner Mongolia's mare's milk wine is intoxicating. Two drunk old brothers were falling down to sleep when they suddenly heard the alarm sound - this was the horse thieves coming again.
The mainland dad played by Zhang Guangbei grabbed Wang Youfu's son Wang Weidong by the collar and asked, "Tell me, is this your dad?"
The child stubbornly said that his father would not do this anymore.
But mainland dads simply don’t believe that Wang Youfu, a repeat criminal, can avoid stealing wood.
A group of people rushed out of the tent and happened to bump into the police officers who were coming. They rushed up together and greeted each other, and quickly wiped out a group of horse thieves.
Counting the number of people, there really is no luck.
Blessed and blessed, this wood-stealing father is really lucky.
Wang Weidong hid in the woods and smiled, searching the area all night long, and finally found Wang Youfu, who had sprained his ankle but had escaped capture.
How can my own father report him? Carry it back.
The second troublesome thing - the young protagonist Tuan was caught lighting a fire in the forest.
There is a rule in the forest: no lighting.
Because igniting a fire may cause a fire, the wife of Huo Sai's father, played by He Zhengjun, died in a forest fire.
But Qin Dalu, Wang Weidong, and Huo Sai, three young boys, and a childhood sweetheart from the prairie girl, were playing in the forest and sworn sworn friends. They missed the time. On the way back, it was already dark, and the sound of wolves was everywhere.
If you light a fire, you will get a beating from your father. If
doesn't light up, it may become the wolf's midnight snack.
OK, let’s order it. Sure enough, Dad and the mainland man who smelled the smoke rushed over.
The forest ranger played by Zhang Guangbei gave Wang Weidong a big mouth when he went up, but his own son Qin Dalu quit.
As soon as he got home, he staged a show of going to the house to uncover the tiles. As a result, the house was in disrepair, and the sole of his foot slipped and he fell back onto the kang of his home.
The mother played by Sarina saw that her son was okay and immediately came up with a plan: pretend to be fainted. With this installation of
, this level is over, but what should I do if there is a big hole in the roof of my house?
can only find wood to repair.
But in those days, even forestry workers had to apply to use wood, and there was no telling when they would be approved.
Zhang Guangbei was so angry that he directly pulled the cart up the mountain to pick up wood.
But this time, we found the third trouble of opening up - the sacrifice of forest guards.
Zhang Guangbei went up the mountain to collect wood, but unexpectedly discovered the traces of another group of forest thieves. He followed the sound and found that the group had already succeeded and was roasting rabbit meat in the cave.
He turned around and wanted to retreat, but his tracks were exposed and he was rushed up by several thieves and caught in a hole.
As the saying goes, a good man never suffers immediate losses. He had an idea and immediately discussed the deal with the thief. Seeing that the hurdle was about to pass, but what a coincidence, Jose's father, played by He Zhengjun, was worried about the old man's safety and came to the forest alone to look for someone. The shout was just heard by the thief.
is broken!
This group of desperadoes has already recognized the identity of the mainland ranger, so those who come will not be able to stay.
At the critical moment of life and death, Dad Lu urged Wang Youfu to untie himself and hurried to support his old friend.
However, the snow was vast and the enemy was outnumbered. The two of them were strong enough to defeat the horsethief, but they fell one after another in the forest that had been guarding them all their lives.
When Lu Ma, Qin Dalu and the others took a car to look for someone, all they found were two stiffened corpses.
This is what is shown in the opening two episodes of "Qijiu River".
Qin Dalu and Huo Sai's father, played by two national first-class actors Zhang Guangbei and He Zhengjun, died in the line of duty at the beginning, causing irreparable damage to the two families.
In the process of finding out the truth, everyone suspected that the accident was related to Wang Weidong's father, Wang Youfu, which caused a big gap between the former good brothers, and eventually turned against each other.
As soon as the game opens, many characters appear, including forest rangers, horse thieves, forest ranger families, young protagonists, and beautiful girls who grew up drinking goat milk in the grassland, to name a few.
A capture, a mischief, and a sacrifice quickly brought the audience into the atmosphere of the play at a fast and steady pace, and prepared them for the dramatic conflict that would follow. Plenty of grounding.
In the 1970s, in the vast forest farm, the story of the previous generation came to an abrupt end, but the story of three high-spirited young people Qin Dalu, Huo Sai, and Wang Weidong had just begun.
makes people look forward to the plot behind it.
02. The supporting roles steal the spotlight more than the protagonists, and the acting skills of veteran actors are applauded.
In addition to the compact plot surrounding the three protagonist brothers, "Qijiu River Kai" also has a significant highlight that I have to mention: there are many veteran actors, and the country is one of the first. There are many top actors.
In the first two episodes, the adult male protagonists played by Lian Yiming and Ji Ta have not yet appeared, but four national first-class actors have already appeared.
But the difficulty of period drama is group portrait drama. The difficulty in a group drama is character acting.
There is no main character or protagonist, each character has his or her own story.
The drama is only successful if it relies on acting skills.
Apart from anything else, the first two episodes of "Qijiu Hekai" directly brought the acting skills to the extreme. In the past episode of
2, there have been four veteran actors who are also national first-class actors showing off their acting skills.
ranks first, Zhang Guangbei.
Zhang Guangbei, who was famous all over the country for his roles as two generals when he was young, does not play Lu Bu or Chu Yunfei this time. He plays the role of a forest ranger who has guarded the forest farm all his life and is also the father of the protagonist Qin Dalu.
As soon as Zhang Guangbei came out, he had the arrogance of an older generation of forest rangers.
Even though he was tied up by the thief, his eyes still had the stubbornness of inertia.
When facing his son who refuses to obey, he has a stubborn temper and will beat him up when he gets angry.
I really saw my son falling, and my voice immediately trembled. My son is longer and my son is shorter.
The image of an older generation father who loves his son in his heart but doesn't know how to express it, is just like a performance as soon as he plays it.
There are also scenes from being captured to fighting with the thieves. Zhang Guangbei's performance can be said to be smooth.
Whether it is expression changes, lines or body movements, it is enough to see that this veteran actor's skills have hardly declined compared to the peak period of "Bright Sword".
The more interesting things come later. I was still thinking at the time, who should play this grumpy old guy so that he could perfectly fit him? Director
gave the answer: second place, He Zhengjun.
Lian Yiming, you know how to play the "Bright Sword" joke.
When "Chu Yunfei" becomes "Li Yunlong", Zhao Gang is still Zhao Gang.
What’s interesting is that He Zhengjun brought his inherent elegance into “Qijiu River Kai”.
perfectly matched Zhang Guangbei's performance. Watching the two brothers sing and sing together, one wanted to beat his son, and the other helped Lu Lu to cover and help him get down the stairs. This chemical reaction made me feel like watching "Bright Sword" in a trance.
was just the opposite, they became these two.
Hahahaha, this feeling is so wonderful, I can’t express it in words.
I haven't seen enough of these two veteran drama stars' rivalry, not at all.
The third place is Sarina.
As everyone knows about Sarina, from the classic domestic period drama "Enter Guandong" to "In the World", the mother she plays is always true, simple and down-to-earth. Her kind of motherly love and tenderness has touched many audiences. The mainland mother played by
this time looks full of life and doesn't have many acting skills. However, in the scene where her son pretends to be stupid, her eyes and facial micro-expressions are delicate enough to make her unforgettable.
What was even more exciting was hearing the mainland crying in the snow: My dad is gone. The director
gave a long shot, and the audience couldn't see the character's expression clearly, but Sarina used a few wrestling in the snow to suddenly show the character's grief and helplessness.
Next, this veteran actor will have many highlights, that is, the drama of raising three children.
That is naturally Sarina's best drama.
ranked fourth, Ni Dahong.
Ni Dahong's character in the drama really made me think of the scumbag father in "Everything Is Good", but the wonderful thing is that this character actually preceded "Everything Is Good". When
appeared, he was full of timidity and gangsterism. Spontaneously.
failed to steal the wood and even sprained his foot. He was found by his son in the middle of the night and asked him to carry him back. When he opened his mouth, his little expression immediately revealed the character's arrogance and the energy of a dead pig that is not afraid of boiling water. It was completely attracted by Ni Dahong's tone and tone. The posture is perfectly drawn.
There aren't many opening scenes, but they are still impressive. Ni Dahong's acting skills are indeed quite impressive.
As the plot unfolds, starring actors such as Lian Yiming, Wu Jun, Wang Weiwei, and Ji Ta will appear one after another. As long as the acting skills maintain the level of the first two episodes, the series will definitely not be ugly.
03. The long-lost taste of the family drama of the era has finally been filmed again
Some viewers always think that the backlog of dramas equals bad dramas, but Tianjin TV has successively released several backlogged dramas, such as last year's "Da Sheng Kui", which completely slapped them in the face. this doubt.
Although "Qiujiuhe Kaikai" has just started airing, the show has a strong flavor of an old-age drama.
If the taste is right, the reputation will not be bad.
will talk about three points.
The first place is full of sense of age.
Although there is not a single gorgeous opening scene, director Lian Yiming did capture the simple sense of the times in the 1970s.
The biggest problem with many domestic period dramas is that they treat the past era too gorgeously.
However, this drama uses limited scenes to show the true appearance of people in that era: poor and plain in color.
The second point is the brilliant group portrait.
Different from other types of dramas, period dramas always focus on the portrayal of group portraits, and supporting characters may also have scenes that shine more brightly than the protagonists.
At the beginning of the play, many characters have very obvious shortcomings and are almost unlikable at first glance, such as Zhang Guangbei's impulsive and reckless character, and Ni Dahong's shameless character.
But this is where the characters come alive.
No one is perfect, but there are also things that are lovely and respectable. The mainland dad played by Zhang Guangbei is just a tough talker, but he loves his son no less.
Ni Dahong’s character is frequently poached to pay for his son’s tuition.
And the advantages of these characters are exquisitely integrated into the daily life of the story.
Characters with unique characteristics appear one after another, enriching the color of the group portraits of this drama, which is very enjoyable to watch.
The third point is to show the human touch of the times.
htmlThe root of family dramas in the 0's is the inexplicable human touch of the older generation.The old forest rangers played by Zhang Guangbei and He Zhengjun have taken care of each other all their lives, and at the last moment they worked together to fight against the horse thieves.
The mainland mother played by Sarina did not discriminate against her child's father because he was a horse thief, nor did she put the grudges of the previous generation on her child.
If the child does not have a father to take care of him, he will raise the child together.
I have to say that the spirit of this period drama is right!
The daily life in "Qijiu Hekai" is mostly filled with trivial matters that combine joy and sorrow, but it is also mixed with warmth.
is real enough, just like your and my life.
Compared with luxury period dramas with huge investment, the popularity of this kind of simple period drama also proves:
There are no old dramas, only bad dramas.
People come and go in the forest farm, and life has its own variety.
Even simple shots and rich life-like details can still make love, hatred and historical changes slowly flow into the hearts of the audience like water in the forest.
When we think the period drama is out.
Many times it is because the story is not convincing enough.
If the story is right, the performance is right, and the fish is in the right water, the river will naturally bloom.
What’s next is, of course, Bajiuyanlai.
A good drama is like a river, and the audience is like a returning flying geese.
