In the entertainment industry, every collaboration between celebrities will arouse huge expectations. The audience is looking forward to the collaboration between Wang Yibo and Li Qin , two popular idols. After all, the two of them are not only popular celebrities with high popularity, but also have top-notch looks. They will definitely create brilliant sparks on the screen.
However, when the TV series "Storm Chaser" was finally completed and premiered, the audience could not help but feel a little disappointed. This drama originally made people have high expectations for it. After all, it not only has two popular idols Wang Yibo and Li Qin joining the cast, but also makes people curious about its spy plot and character settings. Who would have thought that this show would never escape the fate of mediocrity. Although the storyline of
has the atmosphere of a spy war, there is no breakthrough or innovation at all. The development of the entire plot is mediocre and it is difficult for the audience to invest too much enthusiasm. What's even more fatal is that the screenwriter's character creation is obviously deficient. The protagonist's character and behavior often feel inconsistent, and it is difficult for the audience to resonate with it.
Unfortunately, Wang Yibo and Li Qin in the play failed to avoid the impact of this flaw. Although Wang Yibo has starred in spy movies before and accumulated a certain amount of acting experience, his image in "The Storm Chaser" is completely different from the past. In the play, he needs to show a more down-to-earth side, and needs to show rich emotions and delicate acting skills in a complex and changeable plot, which seems a bit difficult for him.
Generally speaking, Wang Yibo's performance in this drama inevitably seems a bit stiff and thin, failing to fully control the role and making it difficult to impress. At the same time, the crew seemed to have failed to make good use of his good looks, preventing him from showing his full charm in appearance.
As for Li Qin, although she was suitable for playing relatively simple female roles in her past works, the image of a wealthy lady and spy agent she played in this drama inevitably made her feel a little inadequate. This role requires an actor to have a capable, intelligent and shrewd temperament, but Li Qin's gentle and beautiful face and affectation in the past are difficult to fully interpret this aura.
At the same time, Li Qin's acting skills have also been questioned to a certain extent. As an actor born in the 1990s, although her acting skills are acceptable, it is difficult for her to have a shocking performance. In this play, her performance is even more lackluster, completely overshadowed by the wonderful performances of the supporting actors. The crew of
seems to be aware of this flaw of the protagonist, so they put a little effort into the character modeling. They did not hesitate to introduce more beautiful supporting characters in the drama, hoping to make up for the lack of appearance of the protagonist. Among them, the role of dancer Song Meijuan is eye-catching. Although Zhang Yijun is a newcomer, her delicate face and charming figure stole the show as soon as she appeared in the play, making Li Qin's appearance pale in comparison next to her.
Similarly, when it comes to the choice of male characters, the crew also obviously prefers Zhang Tianyang to the niche. He serves as the third male lead in the play. His role is not as important as Wang Yibo's protagonist, but his masculine and capable temperament is more attractive to the audience. The crew added a lot of scenes for him to show off his muscles, showing off his strong and sexy figure, which is undoubtedly a complement to the protagonist's appearance.
Generally speaking, the drama "Storm Chaser" ultimately failed to meet the audience's expectations. The main reason was its mediocre plot and character setting, coupled with the fact that the protagonist actor could not fully control the role, and his performance was still lacking. Compared with the protagonist, the supporting characters have certain advantages in terms of appearance, acting skills, etc., which makes the much-anticipated "protagonist joining the cast" effect almost disappear.
Although Wang Yibo and Li Qin are already popular idols in their own right, the quality of their works is ultimately the touchstone to test them. If they want to become a real first-line star, it is not enough to rely on traffic and appearance alone. They need to improve their acting skills and role interpretation in order to gain the true love of the audience. And "The Storm Chaser" undoubtedly pointed out the direction for their future efforts.
