CCTV’s new drama "Run the Dog" has become a dark horse drama at the beginning of this year. The entire drama takes the Anti-Japanese War as the main line, telling the story of Gou Sheng (played by Jiang Long) who grew up from an ordinary person who only wanted to marry a wife to an outstanding soldier who defended his family and country with faith.
Judging from the subject matter alone, the ground-breaking Anti-Japanese War drama and CCTV’s eight sets of self-contained sinking chassis directly gave "Gou Sheng Run" to the front row in the ratings, and the highlights of this drama are not only It's an excellent plot, the actors are well-cast, and the director's casting is also strong.
The Wang Maoniang played by Qin Hailu is delicate and real. Sometimes she doesn't even need lines or body movements to accurately interpret the emotional atmosphere.
Jiang Long's portrayal of Gou Sheng has perfect control over light comedy. His character's strong energy and persistent personality are all played to perfection by him. The most amazing thing is that the mistress, a supporting character who doesn't even have much of a role in the play, can still see the casting director's intentions.
01
Supporting mistress, performing textbook-style flirting
Although most on-screen mistresses are destined to be cannon fodder in supporting roles, basically such roles require actors with outstanding looks and figures to perform the charm. Once the casting is not suitable, The audience will inevitably be distracted by the drama every minute, which will affect the experience of watching the drama.
But Yin Beixi, who played the mistress Xiulan in "The Dogs Run", played the role of a young woman's charm as soon as she appeared.
In the play, Xiulan is the wife of Hou Qi, the deputy platoon leader of the National Army, but she comes together with Hou Qi’s leader, Company Commander Miao. The two often have private meetings behind Hou Qi’s back, but Xiulan is actually quite sober. She didn't expect to get rid of Hou Qi, but she wanted to let Captain Miao promote her husband.
On this day, in the dead of night, Xiulan was wearing a sexy pajamas, exposing her slender yet voluptuous calves, applying lotion on them, her movements were gentle, and her hands were gently stroking and pressing. There was obviously nothing deliberate here. The lighting and background music accentuate the scene, but the ambiguity that fills the screen has already overflowed the screen.
At this time, the sneaky Captain Miao pushed in the door, and when Xiulan was not paying attention, he gave Xiulan a bear hug, which shocked Xiulan. The next second, Xiulan's smiling face was obviously panicked. After recognizing that the person behind her was Captain Miao, she glanced at Captain Miao charmingly. When she looked away, Xiulan's mouth was slightly open, her expression was ecstasy, and she let Miao let it go. The company commander was in close contact with me, and there was a feeling of being pulled back to welcome him.
Immediately after, Xiulan learned that Hou Qi was assigned to the night shift by Company Commander Miao, and she used her words to whisper, "Brother Miao, please promote our Hou Qi." Company Commander Miao prevaricated, and Xiulan let her go. After softening and hardening, he complained in a harsh voice that Company Commander Miao had two wives. He moved his buttocks to the dressing table to apply skin care. His hands kept moving, but his face looked sulky.
Captain Miao saw that Xiulan was angry, so he started to tease Xiulan around, but Xiulan always turned her face away from Captain Miao. Although her attitude was tough, her body was soft. When she sat there, her waist was tied He turned his shoulders left and right to hide from Captain Miao, looking even more squeamish.
It wasn't until Captain Miao agreed that Xiulan smiled brightly, with her chin raised high, full of pride and arrogance at being held in the hands of a man.
This scene only lasted two minutes, but the actress's performance made the audience instantly into the scene. Not to mention the anxious-looking Company Commander Miao in the play, even the audience felt Xiulan's charm through the screen. .

Don’t play the mistress if you don’t meet the conditions, the 32-year-old actress speaks with her strength
In fact, the actor Yin Beixi who portrayed Xiulan is not a particularly outstanding-looking actress. She can play the role of the mistress well because she knows how to play with the young woman. The tone of a man's thoughts, even when she is acting out her temper, gives people a pitiable sex appeal.
And Yin Beixi, who is already 32 years old, does have the charm of a mature young woman. Her overall makeup is on the gaudy side and not refined enough, but it fits the age of the drama and fits the character image very well.
But she is also playing a young woman, and she has a lot of domestic entertainment, but half of it is inappropriate.
For example, Wang Like in "Wind and Rain Brings Spring Back" clearly portrays the mistress that high-ranking officials fall in love with at first sight. However, she is dressed in a rustic manner, and her charming little movements are extremely stiff. They are said to be flirting, but they seem to be scratching an itch. It's not as lethal as Yin Beixi's little look in "The Dogs Run".
The point is that actor Yin Beixi is not actually a very famous actor. Before being known by some audiences, Yin Beixi performed in Happy Twist. Although she has portrayed the female lead in more than 500 performances, due to the limited influence of the drama, most of the audience No one knows anything about this actor.
It was not until the broadcast of "Annual Comedy Competition" that Yin Beixi began to be frequently active on the screen. However, she has little experience in film and television dramas. "The Dog's Run" is her only masterpiece so far.
In contrast, Wang Like's acting experience is much richer. She is almost the heroine of many rural dramas, and in these film and television dramas, Wang Like's performance is also remarkable.
Objectively speaking, there is no comparable level of acting ability between Wang Li Ke and Yin Beixi, but it can be said with certainty that Yin Beixi has a strong shaping ability. She can perform comedy and control the charming mistress in the plot, but Wang Li Ke does not Less than that.
To put it bluntly, shaping ability and performance style determine whether an actor can play a role well. The director of "Running Dogs" chose Yin Beixi because of his vicious vision, and Yin Beixi is remembered by the audience because of her outstanding strength.
In the "Annual Comedy Competition", Yin Beixi is warm and kind, has a hearty laugh, and is sincere in creating comedy works. Her vitality makes the audience laugh non-stop while watching the variety show, and in her early days The experience accumulated on the drama stage has allowed her to successfully enter the entertainment industry, and she is eye-catching when portraying the role of Xiulan.
At present, the role of Xiulan is not very important, but Yin Beixi's performance is successful. If the subsequent roles can bring more surprises to the audience, it means that "The Dog Sheng Run" will become Yin Beixi's entry into acting. A stepping stone to the circle.
With her acting skills and camera shaping ability, the audience can ignore her slightly ordinary appearance among actors and actresses.
But having said that, actors all have their own niche. The current Yin Beixi is obviously not good enough to play a leading role in film and television dramas, but just the textbook sultry skills she showed in "Running Dogs" can make her shine in supporting roles in many film and television dramas. fever.
Seeing Yin Beixi's performance, I am also looking forward to Yin Beixi's next screen performance. I also hope that domestic entertainment directors and actors will be more self-aware. Actors who do not meet the conditions should really stop trying for roles like "mistress". .
