On the third day after it went online, the ratings soared to 2.4.
It is not without reason that "City Within a City" has topped the national ratings list.
is different from other dramas that open high and go low. People want to use all their tricks in front and open up as soon as they come up.
However, "City Within a City" used extremely detailed preparations and focused on the actors. Several uncles acted in the same frame. The scene was called a wonderful one.
Only one episode has been updated for the latest plot. The most critical plot of Wu Xianlong bribing Zhao Hui with love is still in the preview of the next episode. I really can't get enough of it.
We have almost analyzed the plot before. This time, let’s dig into the actors in the play.
Some people gave rave reviews, and some people complained loudly. It turns out that their academic qualifications are more serious than the other!
1.Young group actor
I think most viewers are more concerned about Bai Yufan, the male lead in "City Within a City".
suddenly skyrocketed from a small online drama to "Mountains and Seas" in the noon sun, and the subsequent resources immediately skyrocketed.
Front Foot
has been in love since the beginning, and his character is not very likable. Bai Yufan's acting is also a bit unreliable. Many viewers can't help but want to ask: Brother , where did you come from?
Bai Yufan was admitted to the Film and Television Department of Nanjing University of the Arts when he was 18 years old. At that time, his performance ranked second in the entire major.
joined the army when he was in college. He originally wanted to go to the field army, but was assigned to the performance team and became an art soldier.
's first work after graduation was the online drama "Love in the World". There were almost no filming in two years until she made a small debut in 2021 with "Mountains and Seas".
In contrast, Xia Meng, who was born in a major, was a little surprised.
Whether it is the results of cultural courses or professional courses, they completely beat everyone.
Xia Meng has been associated with art since she was a child. When she was 18 years old, she ranked first in the performance departments of the three major universities of Shanghai Opera, Nortel and China Central Television, and she also won fifth place in the performance major of Chinese Opera. It was simply "The God of Art Exams".
In the end, she chose Nortel and shot many works from her freshman year to graduation.
Not only that, Xia Meng also participated in the training camp organized by Wu Ershan during the filming of the "Fengshen" series. At that time, she was favored by the agency and signed directly.
Judging from Xia Meng's performance in "City Within a City", her figure and facial features are indeed outstanding, but she seems to have no cp feeling with Bai Yufan.
In addition to the two above, you may also be curious about Lonnie’s academic qualifications.
was still unknown before, but he was able to directly get into the big pie of "Hurious" and break out of the industry with the role of Gao Qilan, who has no lines.
In her second drama, she became the second female lead in a CCTV drama. This rise in resources is incredible.
In fact, Lonnie did not come from a major. She started learning dance at the age of 5, and later was admitted to the Beijing Modern Music Training Institute.
This school is a bit surprising, although it has famous graduates such as Hou Minghao, Zheng Hehuizi and Huang Jingxing.
But in fact, this school is a private non-academic higher education institution, and the completion certificate does not have the nature of an academic certificate.
Although her resources are high, this girl really has no acting skills.
has protruding bones, but he doesn’t know how to control his expressions. His acting with Yu Hewei is even worse. I just hope he can stand up later.
2. Older actors
Speaking of more experienced actors, the audience is particularly interested.
Of course, the first thing to mention is Yu Hewei.
He has extremely rich experience. He was raised by his mother and elder sister from Fushun, Liaoning Province. After graduating from junior high school, he entered the technical secondary school music class of the Municipal Preschool Normal School.Three years after graduating from junior high school, he was successfully admitted to the Fushun Repertory Theater. It was only at the age of 21 that he stepped into the theater and officially started his acting career.
has been working hard for more than 20 years in filming, but his ability has been tepid online. Until the video of Ghost Beast unexpectedly became popular, and then Yu Hewei starred in "The Awakening Age", completely standing at the top of the entertainment industry pyramid.
Wang Jinsong does not have a high degree of education.
He liked singing since he was a child, but failed to apply for the music department. Later, he was admitted to the drama school in Jiangsu Province. He performed well during school and was recommended to join the Nanjing Repertory Theater after graduation.
In the drama troupe at that time, young people had no chance to perform at all. Wang Jinsong even acted in "A Wall". Later, he started to work part-time in order to subsidize the economy and played various supporting roles. It was through little accumulation that he gained his current strength.
Tu Songyan is a serious and capable actor who graduated from 800 Chinese dramas.
He was in the 94th grade undergraduate acting class and was classmates with Tao Hong, Duan Yihong, Gao Hu and others.
I have to say that it is different after formal and intensive acting training. Tu Songyan became famous because of "Double Sided Tape", and he is still wandering among supporting roles after so many years.
However, even a supporting role can become the highlight of the drama. Now Xie Zhiyuan in "City Within" has been magnified to the extreme.
Feng Jiayi, who plays Su Jianren in the play, is actually a businessman.
He went to study in Australia when he was 14 years old. He is now an Australian national. After graduation, he could not get any acting roles and could only do odd jobs. At the age of 27, he finally starred in his first film, but the result has not been broadcast yet.
Feng Jiayi, who can only do business, was introduced to director Teng Huatao by a friend. Coincidentally, he also acted in "Double-sided Tape" starring Tu Songyan, and was recognized by the director for his excellent performance.
No wonder that in "Wind Blowing Pinellia" and "City Within the City", even the supporting characters can become the focus of the audience. It turns out that they have rich experience and outstanding personal style.
Someone who had a similar experience to Feng Jiayi was Wang Xiao.
However, the difference is that Wang Xiao is really "powering up for love" in the entertainment industry.
His identity as a second-generation star is no longer a secret, but his parents didn't want him to become an actor, so they sent him to study abroad.
This guy studied 3D animation for 6 years, and then he even got a double master's degree and an MBA.
After graduation, Wang Xiao even found a job with a decent salary in Canada. However, for his acting dream, he resolutely resigned and returned to China to develop.
did not rely on his status as a "second generation star" to gain resources. For 19 years, he relied on his strength to step into the audience's field of vision.
Sure enough, people who have goals, strength and drive can shine in any line of work.
Although Wang Xiao and Yu Hewei are 7 years apart, there is no sense of inconsistency in their interactions as old classmates in the play, and their acting skills are self-evident.
Conclusion
Is it necessary to have a major to be an actor?
Judging from the gathering of all the actors of "City Within", it is obviously not necessary.
However, it is obvious that as long as they are veteran actors who have become a monk halfway and can achieve today's high reputation, they are those who work hard to improve themselves in a low-key manner in the mixed entertainment industry.
Yu Hewei may seem to be a late bloomer, but in fact he has accumulated a lot of experience and continued to present excellent works to the audience for the performance career he loves. When the time comes, he will soar into the sky and become the leader of Chinese dramas.
Wang Jinsong is already a veteran actor with gold rims. Even if he carries the sedan chair for a new actor, he can still become a unique presence in the play.
I don’t know about the above actors, who is your favorite?
