Many netizens have questioned that the current film and television industry lacks real suspense dramas, especially suspense dramas with historical themes. Most suspense dramas always have grinding emotional lines and various easily collapsed characters. "Apocalypse" has truly subverted the market that has been ruined, integrating flamboyant ancient style and strong suspense elements, breaking out in niche dramas, and firmly attracting the attention of the audience.
The drama features seemingly sci-fi plot elements such as meteorites and epidemics. The fantasy aesthetic and exquisite settings are perfect, leading a revolution in costume dramas and making people enjoy watching them.
Of course, the success of a TV series is not only due to the plot and characters, but also the acting skills of the actors. After watching this drama, many people sincerely lamented that this is the norm in the entertainment industry. The gap is too big. Among them Some actors are very strong and have achieved extraordinary performance, while some actors are very ordinary, which makes people laugh at them. The more you compare them, the more you find that it is too easy to determine whether your acting skills are good or bad. See it.
01 The new generation of actors is so surprising
First of all, let’s talk about the most amazing actor in this drama, Jiang Qiming. Jiang Qiming is particularly valued by iQiyi because of his acting skills. His last drama "The Long Season" set off social networks , he plays the heroine's brother in the play. This character is a deaf-mute, so his performance is greatly restricted. If you don't pay attention, you can easily play a mute with no memory.
However, Jiang Qiming relied on his acting skills to play the protagonist. Many people think that this plot line of his is the most heart-wrenching. In the play, a scene shows the brother and sister in a restaurant after a woman's body parts are found. During the meal inside, Jiang Qiming's acting skills instantly surpassed that of the heroine Li Gengxi, who couldn't handle his scenes at all.
In "Apocalypse", which is also a suspense drama, Jiang Qiming's role has more room to play. To complete the two-level reversal of the outbreak, the character he played, Chang He Zijiao, was more like An NPC in a fantasy world, but when he kidnapped Chu Sijing, lifted his mask, and revealed his identity as a mysterious person, he exposed his true side.
At this time, his eyes revealed the aura of the "boss behind the scenes". He could tell at a glance that he was a big shot. When he interpreted the character, he tried his best to squint his eyes. There was no light in his eyes, revealing the evil spirit. Charming, with a hint of a bad smile on her lips, which raises the level of the character a lot.
02 The acting skills of beautiful actresses are too eye-catching
In the entertainment industry, the best way to fight against the male gaze is to improve one's acting skills. However, Rongrong Zhang did not do this. She seemed to have been inserted into this drama. The big vase has beauty, but cannot conquer the audience with her strength, making the audience recognize her role from the bottom of their hearts and empathize with the character she plays.
In "Apocalypse", she played the role of a female captain, Jelly Lika. The character itself is a bit exotic, and the mixed-race Zhang Rongrong completely fits the character setting, but her every move is... It's too exaggerated, and she will habitually pout and frown from time to time. It looks like her whole face has all the features flying around. She is too modern and is incompatible with a costume drama. It makes the audience look very funny. As soon as they see her The plot felt abrupt.
In Zhang Rongrong's previous costume drama "Once Upon a Time on Lingjian Mountain", the character Wang Wu played was a master chef with a bold personality and a bold personality. In this drama, she seems to be playing another Wang Wu, Her acting skills have not improved. If she really wanted to show the valor of a female captain, she could add less exaggerated expressions and movements to make herself look more capable, which would actually better interpret the character.
It has to be said that through the completely different performances of the two characters in a play, everyone can fully feel the advantages and disadvantages, good and bad, of their acting skills. This also means that actors should make greater efforts to improve their acting skills. , to release one's own potential, instead of being stubborn and complacent, or even acting in a template and routine, which has been questioned by the audience. I also hope that there will be more good dramas like "Apocalypse".
