Recently, there have been a lot of new works in the domestic drama market, covering various themes such as fairy tales, criminal investigation, suspense, etc. Unfortunately, urban dramas have always been less popular! In terms of fairy tale dramas, "Four of Swords and Swords" and " pray for the present " were air-launched, and they hit two "king bombs" in a row, seizing the entire network's ratings market! On the contrary, urban dramas that have always been popular have become increasingly sluggish. "You Too Have Today" and "The 19th Floor" have seen serious ratings declines, and their reputations have also continued to decline!
At present, another urban drama is coming, "Love for a Long Time". After the drama was launched, it received a good response, and it was even said that it was an "explosion" upon its launch! After the first two episodes of the show, it immediately broke the platform record and topped the platform's hot list! Breaking through traditional concepts, it has become a "dark horse drama" with "hit potential"!
In addition, the Douban comment section also received unanimous four- and five-star reviews, and the audience praised: The plot is compact, mainly telling the story of Huang Yingzi ( Yang Zi), Jiang Yi ( Fan Chengcheng) and other six people reunited after twelve years. The drama is a story about friendship, love, family, etc., which is full of attractions. When the scene switches to campus time in the play, the memories of youth come to mind. And when the camera cuts back to the real timeline, people feel the loss and unwillingness in the adult world.
It can be said that the success of the drama "Long Time Love" is not only the solid plot and excellent production, but also the outstanding performance of the starring Yang Zi and other actors.
Some people once thought that "Long Time Love" might just be an assembly-line youth pain literature, but it turns out that this drama is not the stereotyped work imagined. The director and screenwriter avoided the cliche plots in idol dramas and focused on depicting the daily lives of the protagonists.
The story constantly intersperses memories between the campus of youth and the real workplace, putting together the beauty of youth and the growing love of the group, and outlines a realistic group portrait of youth and friendship. Not only can the audience naturally participate in the plot, but they can even find their own shadows in the play when they were young or are now struggling to make a living, which resonates strongly with the audience.
When talking about the cast of "Long Time Love", of course there is no way to bypass the lead actor Yang Zi. Yang Zi, who debuted as a child star, has shown extraordinary acting skills in many popular dramas such as " With Children " and " Sauvignon Blanc ", and has always maintained outstanding performance. In this play, she once again broke herself and played Huang Yingzi, a character who was unsatisfactory in her career.
Judging from her interpretation of the character's emotions, every emotional point is in place. Whether it is an adult or a high school student, every expression is natural and there is no trace of overdoing it. Her performance makes people marvel at the progress and diversity of her acting skills.
In addition, the beautiful Manzi exceeded all audience expectations when playing the role of Fang Mingyu. She successfully portrayed a smart and capable white-collar worker with inner tangles in the workplace. Especially in the layoff scene, she perfectly performed the emotional changes of the character, which was impressive.
In addition to the outstanding individual performances of the actors, "Love for a Long Time" is also very attentive to the overall production. The director is very thoughtful in the use of filters. The use of cold and warm colors enhances the emotional contrast and presents a more realistic story emotion to the audience. This subtle treatment makes the audience more involved in the plot, making the story more fascinating.
Overall, although "Long Time Love" may have been misunderstood as a standard urban drama at first, it has achieved unprecedented success after its launch. The success of this drama stems not only from the novel plot and excellent production, but also from the outstanding performances of Yang Zi and other actors. The nuanced interpretations and emotional displays of each of their characters shine a bright light on a series that might otherwise have been overlooked.
It can be said that "Long Time Love" not only successfully changed the audience's stereotype of urban dramas, but also proved Yang Zi's strength once again, making this drama a popular hit!
