The popular TV series "City Within a City" has become a potential dark horse even before it is launched because of its luxurious lineup. With the financial industry and powerful actors, the audience almost regards "City Within a City" as the financial drama that is most likely to break through after "" and "Storm Chaser".
However, judging from the broadcast effect of "City Within the City", while this drama highlights its attractions, it also has many attractions that dissuade viewers, such as inappropriate casting.
Zhao Hui, played by Yu Hewei , is in line with the audience's expectations for an industry boss from his image to his acting skills.
The real estate boss created by Wang Jinsong seems to be friendly and kind, but in fact he is very ambitious and hides it.
As for Wang Xiao, Feng Jiayi, Tu Songyan and other powerful actors are the plot guarantee of "City Within a City". Their performances enhance the texture of the plot and enhance the persuasiveness of the characters.
Even actor Yang Zishan, whose acting skills are not so recognized, also performed the courage and scheming of a CEO's wife in "City Within a City".
But with such a magical lineup, "City Within a City" still has casting bugs.
Bai Yufan, who portrays the male protagonist Tao Wuji, has mediocre appearance, and his image charm is not as good as that of Yu Hewei. However, as the male protagonist, he portrays a young man who can bring down the big boss. He has no courage and no effort. It doesn't match Tao Wuji's temperament, and his acting skills are full of flaws.
Tao Wuji's line output is weak and weak, his eyes are vacant from time to time, and his eyes are wide but lifeless.
Also unacceptable to the audience is Xia Meng, who plays Tao Wuji’s girlfriend Tian Xiaohui. In the current plot, she has basically nothing to do with the main plot, but she firmly holds the position of the heroine. The image is not outstanding enough, and the acting is often too hard.
Especially when he plays opposite Yang Zishan, his innocent energy is too deliberate. Not only the character setting is not interesting, but the acting is also superficial.
Of course, compared to the above actors who were persuaded to quit, it was Zhou Lin played by Long Ni who caused the most headaches for the audience.
There are constant negative reviews, and "Gao Qilan" has no charm at all.
Gao Qilan in "Hurious" became popular, and Lonnie, who played the role of Gao Qilan, has also become a recognized fishing beauty and an absolute goddess. The audience loves her long hair and glasses, and her high intelligence overflows the screen. She simply outshines all the silly and sweet female characters on the screen.
In "City Within a City", Lonnie almost copied the same look when portraying Zhou Lin. It's a pity that neither her style nor the personal filters Gao Qilan once brought her could get Zhou Lin recognized. In the plot of
, Zhou Lin's beauty is very deliberate. In all the scenes that create a beauty atmosphere, Lonnie works hard to create a cold persona, but her expression is out of place, which completely fails to attract the audience.
Not only that, she acted poorly in many plots that required emotional fluctuations to advance.
When Zhou Lin was confessed, Lonnie's expression was particularly exaggerated, her eyes turned left and right, all kinds of small expressions were not in line with the logic of normal people's behavior, and the expressiveness of blowing her beard and staring made people frown.
When Zhou Lin was escaping from the scene of her confession, she was stopped by her admirer. Lonnie's whole body was like plasticine that softened when touched. Her body language was incomprehensible. Before the other party exerted any effort, Lonnie could tie her arms and legs into Chinese knots on the spot. .
's over-exerting and superficial acting skills make Zhou Lin's character unattractive.
But to be honest, if the role of Zhou Ling was played by Gao Ye, the effect would definitely be different.
The temperament is right, the acting skills are online, Gao Ye is the best candidate
In fact, it can be seen from "Crazy" that Gao Ye is very suitable for portraying some strong women with stable cores. The audience likes Sister-in-law not only because Gao Ye's makeup is beautiful enough and she is in good condition.
Compared with Lonnie who plays Gao Qilan, Gao Ye has a strong sense of presence in "Hurry" and has many roles. She has no chance to hide her clumsiness like Lonnie. Any flaws in her appearance or acting skills will be noticed by the audience. Got it crystal clear.
Moreover, not only "Hurious", but also in " Article 20 " released during the Spring Festival this year, Gao Ye's acting skills are also quite outstanding. She is not the highlight of the protagonist, but she is full of empathy and plays the persistence of a prosecutor. and Principle, also made the audience cry in many clips.
As an actor, Gao Ye's skills are obviously better than that of Lonnie, who only knows how to blow his beard and stare.
Not only that, Gao Ye's state and the roles Gao Ye has created in film and television dramas all prove that she can control Zhou Lin well.
In the drama, Zhou Lin is Zhao Hui's deceased wife. The reason why Zhao Hui cannot resist Zhou Lin is not because of beauty, but because of emotion. Compared with Lonnie, Gao Ye looks more mature, and it is easier for her to play a good cp with Yu Hewei. The two have collaborated before in "Ideal City", and the cp is very good. Strong, the only difference is that Gao Ye took the script of an ugly duckling turning into a white swan.
Moreover, the character of Zhou Lin is essentially a part of the beauty trap. No matter what feelings Zhou Lin has for Zhao Hui in the later period, she is actually the introduction to the killing plate. To put it bluntly, Zhou Lin is a bit of a femme fatale. The color of seduction.
Gao Ye happened to have played a similar character. In the hit drama " I am Yu Huanshui ", the still-unfamous Gao Ye partnered with Guo Jingfei to create a mature working woman Liang Anni.
In the play, in order to obtain evidence from the male protagonist, Liang Anni used herself as bait and went to the door wearing a particularly sexy and coquettish costume, just to lure the male protagonist to make a mistake.
And in this scene, Gao Ye's seduction is gorgeous but not vulgar, and the hint is obvious but not offensive. In the picture, her shoulders are exposed, her fiery red lips are full of charm. Compared with Lonnie's rigid goddess aura in the play, Gao Ye's technique of conveying affection with his eyebrows and using his eyes to interpret amorous feelings is more advanced and more alluring.
Moreover, Liang Anni's character also has obvious characteristics of a snake and a scorpion. She is the kind of character who is generous, ruthless, strong and scheming, and can turn against her in a minute for money.
is the successful portrayal of this character, proving that Gao Ye is fully qualified for the role of Zhou Lin.
It’s a pity that the show has already been released, and it won’t help to discuss changing the roles now. I can only say that the film crew’s casting was too impulsive and perfunctory. I even suspect that the film crew cast Lonny in the film because of the popularity of “Hurricane”. Even the audition process was omitted, completely unaware that the audience's imagination was actually the main reason why Gao Qilan got out of the industry and Lonnie reaped the popularity bonus.
Finally, what are your thoughts on Lonnie's performance in "City Within a City"? Have you noticed any problems with her performance?
