The reputation of domestic suspense dramas has soared, making people more and more looking forward to the suspense dramas to be broadcast.
As one of the genres, costume suspense has also launched high-quality drama series such as "Tang Dynasty Strange Stories" and " Under the Traditional City ".
Therefore, the lineup is strong, and "The Case of Di Gong of the Tang Dynasty" is also a unit investigation mode. I have been looking forward to it since the official announcement.
Fortunately, the quality of "The Case of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty" is worthy of the audience's expectations. The first broadcast ratings exceeded 1, and the reviews were unanimous. If this momentum continues, the ceiling of ancient costume suspense dramas will be rewritten.
As the saying goes, a good horse needs a good saddle, and a good drama naturally needs the blessing of good actors.
01
The first one to bring everyone into the show is Zhou Yiwei
. He brings everyone a unique Di Renjie.
Prior to this, Di Renjie, who was most popular among the people, was played by Liang Guanhua. Although it was a classic, his overly honest appearance and temperament gave him a sense of deja vu as a corrupt official.
When he really played a corrupt official in "The Long River", it can be said that there was no sense of disobedience at all.
As for Andy Lau's portrayal of Dee Renjie in " Detective Dee: The Tongtian Empire ", his wisdom feels right, but his overly handsome face makes the character less realistic. After all, it is true that Di Renjie is a detective, and he does not have any flaws from his appearance to his IQ.
Detective Dee in Bosco Bosco's version, his handsome temperament is so conspicuous that he instantly transforms into an ancient idol.
In contrast, Zhou Yiwei's image is more face-friendly, he does not appear too honest, nor is he so good-looking that people can't help but stare at his face. He has a slovenly and careless image, but is delicate and vigilant, and extremely intelligent on the inside. On the contrary, it is more of a contrast.
In previous dramas, most of the character's settings were that he could be civilized but not martial. Without Yuanfang, he would be in danger at any time. However, Di Renjie in the Monday version is extremely powerful, eloquent, and both civil and military. The difference in
's characters has given the audience a sense of freshness. Zhou Yiwei's presentation quickly made the characters three-dimensional.
In the time it took him to shave, he could accurately remember everyone's words. When he saw the sophora flowers on his companion's head, he immediately concluded that he had gone to the Imperial College. During breakfast time, he could also help the officers and soldiers solve the case. .
The first case highlighted Di Renjie's "god", but the logic is still online, but the god lies in his super memory, strong reasoning ability, and meticulous observation.
Zhou Yiwei plays Di Renjie. There are two completely different states when solving a case and continuing a case. As long as there is a case, he will devote himself wholeheartedly to it, with a serious expression and eyes examining everything.
But when there was no case, he was like a playboy with no ambitions. His companions chased him to take the scientific examination, and the teacher also hoped that he would not waste the good opportunity. As a result, he promised the teacher that he would take the scientific examination, but then said that he was just If you promise to take the exam, if you don’t promise, you will take the exam well.
Zhou Yiwei's state is casual and relaxed, and his performance is relaxed and relaxed, successfully portraying the two different states of the character vividly.
Although the expressions are still very rich, viewers who don't like this kind of performance will feel that the force is too strong, but combined with the character design, it is infinitely close.
However, after watching Zhou Yiwei's Ding Xiu in "Xiu Chun Dao" and then watching Di Renjie in "The Case of Di Gong of the Tang Dynasty", it is not difficult to find that Zhou Yiwei's strength is far from being fully utilized.
He is more suitable for a deep, reserved, mysterious and aloof character. When Zhou Yiwei understands the character, he will unconsciously restrain his expressions, and his eye scenes are more targeted, making it easier to shine.
has such a character in "The Case of Di Gong of the Tang Dynasty". He is unpredictable when he appears. He doesn't have many lines, but his eye scenes are at the textbook level.
02
He is the second Zhang Jiayi who has raised the level of acting in the whole drama.
I escaped Zhou Yiwei, and I was amazed by the second male lead.Zhang Jiayi's acting skills have been unanimously recognized by everyone, but in recent years, he has spent more time in his comfort zone and less time making bold breakthroughs.
The character of Wei Wuji in "The Case of Di Gong of the Tang Dynasty" is far different from the down-to-earth middle-aged good guy he has been portrayed in the past. Wei Wuji was a highly respected academician in the Tang Dynasty. When the government arrested his apprentice, Wei Wuji only needed people to be present, and he could do anything. Needless to say, the government has to release him.
The county magistrate is humble in front of him, and the people in the court treat him with respect. Such a character can only be convincing if he shows his domineering attitude in every gesture.
It can be said that just the strong walking posture when he appeared on the stage already made people feel domineering enough, and his eyes, which seemed to be smiling but not smiling, made people shudder.
When he looked at his apprentice Di Renjie, there was undisguised admiration in his eyes, which showed his love for this apprentice.
But the ruthless Zhang Jiayi is also a man who can kill people with his eyes. When Di Renjie gradually found out the truth about the fire case, as the real murderer behind the fire, Wei Wuji could already see murderous intent in his eyes when he looked at Di Renjie. .
When everything was revealed, Wei Wuji became more relaxed when he learned that his apprentice had known the truth, and he could even feel a little more approval for Di Renjie in his eyes. Even if his plan is meticulous, Di Renjie can find out the truth. He has the pride of learning from his own mistakes and the calmness of not having to continue to hide it.
Zhang Jiayi deceived everyone with his acting skills from the beginning. He looked more like a respectable and pure minister who had no interest in court politics. He had the air of a refined bachelor and really had a sense of being aloof from the world.
But when his true face is revealed, it breaks the audience's understanding of the character. He is extremely sinister and can kill people's lives in order to achieve his goals. His vicious appearance is very subversive.
Zhang Jiayi played Wei Wuji, who had already contemplated self-immolation, gritting his teeth, and his determination and ferociousness before dying made people feel very immersive.
Conclusion
Zhang Jiayi’s other drama "Happy Parents" is also on the air. Compared with dramas such as "The Case of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty", family dramas are his dominant area.
But over time, homogeneous roles have become aesthetically fatigued, and Zhang Jiayi's roles have become more and more like himself.
Fortunately, "The Case of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty" was chosen correctly. After Zhang Jiayi broke through himself, his performance was far more brilliant than in family dramas. It can be seen that for veteran actors, they also need to conquer the audience with freshness.
Overall, "The Case of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty" did not disappoint everyone. The leading actor Zhou Yiwei held the show, while Zhang Jiayi was the icing on the cake. In addition, actors such as You Yongzhi, Wang Likun, and Zhong Chuxi also joined the cast. The cast is strong and the acting skills are not bad.
If all costume suspense dramas are shot at this level, they will surely lead the trend of Chinese dramas.
Are you satisfied with "The Case of Di Gong of the Tang Dynasty"? Whose acting skills surprise you the most?
