Yang Zi's new drama "Long Time Love" has finally started airing.
After watching 3 episodes, I was really excited.
Because this drama really hit the point that I wanted to watch perfectly:
childhood sweethearts, campus friendship, and middle-aged workplace encounters.
I can say that every point in the play is exactly what I want to pursue.
So after watching 3 episodes, what is my evaluation of Yang Zi’s new drama? Please listen to me slowly!
1, the youth movie is full of tension!
"Long Time Love" is a drama series that goes from youth to middle age in the workplace.
First of all, from the perspective of a youth film, the tension is quite intense.
Especially in these few scenes, I think Yang Zi, Fan Chengcheng and others acted very well.
The first scene was at the senior year party, where Yang Zi took five of her friends to work on a drama performance. Before
took the stage, six boys and girls were talking about the future and their ideals in the rehearsal room.
Some people want to be white-collar workers, some want to go to a dance troupe, and some don’t know what they want to do.
But there is a light in everyone's eye.
Of course, the most explosive thing was when the drama started, when Yang Zi took the lead.
stood on the stage, looking at the crowd of classmates and teachers below, she suddenly forgot her words, and finally turned back to ask Fan Chengcheng and other friends.
The scene was really youthful and brought tears to the eyes of those who watched it.
This is youth, this is the prime of life.
A group of people are doing some obscure things together.
Of course, in addition to this plot that particularly reflects the characteristics of youth films, there is also a scene that will fill people's memories with it.
That is, the dean confiscated Yang Zi's records. In the end, the friends decided to go to the dean's office in the middle of the night to steal the records for Yang Zi.
A group of people sneaked into the office, and a group of people let loose outside.
After hearing the security guard's voice at the end, the scene where the person letting loose ran away was also very touching.
As a youth film, just based on these campus plots and these campus details, it has indeed achieved full marks.
Because it really smells like that!
2, the workplace scenes have details!
If you say that "Long Time Love" is just a pure youth film, I won't actually praise it so much.
What impressed me the most about this drama was the middle-aged workplace scene at the end.
Twelve years later, the original group of boys and girls have grown up. They all originally imagined that when they reach middle age, they should have a successful career and financial freedom.
But the reality is that one is worse than the other.
Let’s start with the reporter Huang Yingzi played by Yang Zi, who looks like a big reporter.
is actually a social beast in the workplace.
Faced with social injustice, she tried to expose it and used the pen in her hand to expose it.
But her boss told her that if you do this, you will be waiting to receive a lawyer's letter.
But that’s not the end of it, the topic she wanted to do couldn’t be done, and in the end her own topic was snatched away.
Of course, compared to the character Huang Yingzi, the most miserable character is Mingyu played by Zhu Yanmanzi. The character
is the real scapegoat in the workplace.
The leader asked her to fire people. If she couldn't complete the task, she would be fired.
And she did it in order to complete the task.
deliberately put a glass of water on the table, deliberately putting the other party's emotions into perspective, and poured water all over her to vent her dissatisfaction.
This scene really hurts the people watching it.
She didn't want to fire people, but as a social worker in the workplace, she had no choice but to do so.
Of course, the most surprising thing is my friend’s wedding.
In fact, everyone wants to go to the appointment, and everyone wants to send blessings in person.
But after middle age, everyone has their own inability to control themselves, and everyone has their own difficulties.
Especially when Huang Yingzi took out the wish card given to her by her friends as a teenager, it said "No matter when and where, as long as Huang Yingzi takes out this card, one of her wishes will be fulfilled."
This strong contrast can really make the audience feel the ruthlessness of time and the powerlessness of middle-aged life in an instant.
This is what touches me the most about this TV series.
simultaneously portrays the innocence of youth and the powerlessness of middle-aged life. The impact brought by this kind of shot can indeed make the audience feel more empathetic!
3, the actors’ details are perfect!
There are two leading actors in this drama, one is Yang Zi and the other is Fan Chengcheng.
And the roles that the two of them got in this drama really required details, details, and a sense of fragmentation.
Let me first talk about the scene between Yang Zi and Fan Chengcheng that moved me the most.
That was when six friends from Hangtiancheng gathered at Huang Yingzi's house to eat and play cards together.
The atmosphere was originally quite good.
Huang Yingzi, played by Yang Zi, is enthusiastic and funny, while Jiang Yi, played by Fan Chengcheng, doesn't talk much, but he also feels very friendly.
Just when everyone was playing in full swing, Jiang Yi's parents suddenly came back and ordered Jiang Yi to go home quickly, otherwise he would go crazy.
At this moment, the atmosphere became awkward.
Especially Jiang Yilian, played by Fan Chengcheng, immediately collapsed.
In the end, if the enthusiastic and lovely Huang Yingzi didn't come to his senses immediately and ease the awkward atmosphere, there would have been a big quarrel soon.
It can be said that in this scene, Yang Zi and Fan Chengcheng really nailed these two roles.
One is always positive and optimistic, while the other is depressed and unhappy.
In just this scene, the emotional lines of these two characters are laid out.
Of course, what I want to praise most is Yang Zi’s sense of fragmentation in this drama.
When she felt confident that she would be able to bring all her friends from Hangtiancheng back to her hometown to attend the wedding, especially when she took out the wish card she had made when she was young.
She thought she had won.
But later she received text messages one by one.
told her that she couldn't go because she had something to do, and they all told her that she really didn't have time.
The sadness, confusion, and confusion that Yang Zi showed can be described in one word as "a sense of fragmentation."
Fortunately, in the end, when Huang Yingzi was sitting alone on the train and was most sad, the director arranged for a friend to appear suddenly, which relieved Huang Yingzi's uncomfortable mood.
But I only focus on Yang Zi’s performance. I think she has really mastered the role of Huang Yingzi.
She always felt that when she was a child, it was still the past. As long as she started, everyone would agree.
But reality did tell her that time has passed and we are no longer young.
Of course, this is just the beginning of this drama. The ending of "Long Time Love" will definitely be a group of friends who grew up playing together and finally get back together.
Although such a plot is impossible in real life, this series does give us a beautiful fantasy.
