Chen Jianbin's new drama "Black Soil Silence" finally launched amid much attention. However, unexpectedly, netizens complained about it as soon as the drama was launched. The biggest drawback is Chen Jianbin's dialect performance in the play.
As we all know, dialects play an indispensable role in shaping characters and restoring regional customs, but Chen Jianbin’s dialect interpretation this time does not seem to meet the audience’s expectations. Is it because his mastery of the dialect is not proficient enough, or is it that the crew's requirements for the dialect are not strict enough? Or are there other reasons that lead to this result?
For a time, doubts arose, and the audience said: "Don't insist on speaking if you don't know the dialect." This sudden turmoil undoubtedly cast a shadow over the broadcast of "Black Soil Silence". Why does Chen Jianbin's dialect performance cause such controversy?
"Black Soil Silence" is overturned: a "Northeastern" suspense drama that even veteran actors can't save
When "Flowers" shined like a bright star in the theater world, CCTV labeled it an "orphan" , another high-profile Tencent drama "Black Earth Silent" encountered Waterloo on the cusp of the storm.
Looking back on that time, "Black Soil Silence", which was originally scheduled to be broadcast in the fourth quarter, chose to meet the audience in the cold January in order to avoid the conflict with "Flowers". However, this drama about Northeastern style unexpectedly lacks the "authentic flavor" of Northeastern China.
In the crew, from the starring to the director to the screenwriter, they are all Southerners. This makes people wonder, can they really capture the soul of Northeast China?
Hu Jun, an authentic Beijinger, and Chen Jianbin, a man from Xinjiang, insist on "pretending" to be from Northeast China in the play. Their poor Northeastern dialect seems to have just been learned from a crash course, making people laugh as soon as they speak it.
Hu Jun's lines are more like imitating Song Dandan than real Northeastern dialect. And Chen Jianbin's words "I don't have a wife" made the audience in the Northeast dumbfounded. The word "mei" in Northeastern dialect obviously has the second tone, but he just pronounced it as the fourth tone. This deliberate imitation makes people feel unnatural.
In recent years, Northeastern suspense dramas have been gaining momentum, but "Black Soil Silence" seems to have only scratched the surface. It mistakenly believes that as long as there is a suspenseful plot and unexpected twists, it can attract the audience. However, the reality is cruel. The drama's reputation has been overturned not only because of the actors' poor lines, but also because of the perfunctory storyline.
Looking at the performance of these two veteran actors in the play, it really makes people love and hate them. Their acting skills were impeccable, but their poor Northeastern dialect left people with a lump in their throats. If it could be performed in Mandarin, which they are good at, perhaps this drama would have a completely different effect.
Chen Jianbin: From being complained about to becoming a god, an acting legend in the snack room
The "The Legend of Zhen Huan" back then was like a storm in the palace, sweeping the entire screen. At the center of this storm, in addition to those peerless concubines, there was also an emperor who was criticized by countless audiences, but in the end became a god with his acting skills - Chen Jianbin.
I remember when the news came out that Chen Jianbin would play the role of Emperor, many viewers shook their heads and sighed, and some even said they wanted to "vomit." However, as time goes by, we discovered many years later that Chen Jianbin's acting skills have already penetrated deep into the bones and become an irreplaceable classic.
The emperor he interprets in the play is intangible with emotions and anger. You can always guess his emotions, but you can't understand his heart. Just like the scene where Zhen Huan asked about Concubine Hua, one moment the emperor was full of joy, but the next moment he said categorically: "She will not have children." At that moment, the indifference and coldness flashing in his eyes made people feel shudder.
These small details are everywhere in the play. It is precisely because of Chen Jianbin's superb acting skills that Sun Li achieved her peak performance. His acting skills lie not only in his characterization of subtle details, but also in his precise control of the rhythm of the entire plot.
From the smug hegemon of the world, to a man who loves women, to the exhaustion and despair in the second half, Chen Jianbin vividly interprets the emperor's transformation. And when filming the finale scene, he even more vividly portrayed a man's love, hate, and hatred, which ultimately ended in nothingness.
Surprisingly, this scene was a one-off. Director Zheng Xiaolong was immersed in Chen Jianbin's acting skills and couldn't extricate himself. He didn't stop for a long time.
It is said that Chen Jianbin and Sun Li did not rehearse this scene, and the two naturally created this classic. After filming, Sun Li was still immersed in the film and couldn't extricate herself, but Chen Jianbin calmed down with a snack.
Such actors are truly amazing. He used his acting skills to prove that he is not an emperor who is "complained about" but a real actor who is "conferred as a god".
A school of acting that has accumulated over time, a bright color in the Northeast wind
In the drama "Black Soil Silence", Mr. Chen's lines may have been ridiculed as "lame" by some netizens, but his acting skills are just like the Northeastern black The earth is as deep and powerful.
I have to say that Chen Jianbin is an actor who always creates topics. Some people may ridicule his appearance and say that he still acts in love scenes with little girls when he is older, but such remarks are just a passing thought to him. Because he knows what is most important as an actor. That is - acting.
Just like what Hao Lei once said: "There may be bad dramas, but if they can't stop you, it means you are a truly good actor." Chen Jianbin is such a good actor. No matter what kind of role or plot, he can interpret it vividly with his acting skills.
In this era where traffic is king, many young actors can become popular quickly with a good-looking face and some hype. But Chen Jianbin is different. He is the kind of actor who needs time to taste and appreciate. Each of his roles seems to be an experience in his life, which makes people fascinated to watch.
Of course, everyone may have different opinions on the drama "Black Soil Silence". Some people may think that Mr. Chen's lines are a bit dramatic, but others will be moved by his soulful interpretation. But no matter what, we cannot deny one thing: Chen Jianbin is a real actor, an actor worthy of our respect.
Therefore, when you see Chen Jianbin on the screen again, you might as well put aside those prejudices and ridicules and feel his unique acting skills and charm with your heart. Believe me, you will be impressed by him.
