TV series "City Within a City" has exploded in popularity, allowing audiences to once again see the influence of urban financial themes in Chinese dramas. In the latest plot, the cruel point strikes.
His most trusted teacher passed away, and his position as bank president, which he thought was a sure bet, was dropped. There was insufficient preparation for his daughter’s treatment, and he had to sell his house to raise funds. These blows finally broke Zhao Hui’s psychological defense.
Zhao Hui gradually got into trouble. At this moment, Wu Xianlong extended a helping hand and handed him a bank card. If he accepted it, he would bear this debt of gratitude for a lifetime, but if he did not accept it, his daughter's illness would be Can't afford it at all.
Faced with this temptation, Zhao Hui firmly refused at first, but listening to Wu Xianlong's sincere words, could he really remain indifferent?
It can be said that the biggest turning point of this drama is Zhao Hui's darkening. As the plot develops now, it is obvious that Zhao Hui's heart is not firm. He has hesitated and believes that the time for "going into the water" is not far away.
However, as the plot progresses, the audience also has their own judgment on the acting level of this drama. The gap between good acting and poor acting is really clear at a glance!
Good acting
As an anti-corruption drama mainly promoted by CCTV, "City Within a City" has no ambiguity in the selection of the lineup. Anyone who is randomly selected is a powerful veteran actor with good acting skills.
ranks first, Yu Hewei .
In "Ideal City", Yu Hewei performed the scheming Zhao Xiankun to the heart of the people, but in "City Within a City", Yu Hewei transformed into the upright and mature Zhao Hui. When
stood on the stage and spoke, he was graceful, confident and witty, and his elite style made people unable to take their eyes away.
The scene that impressed me the most was the quarrel between Zhao Hui and Xie Zhiyuan. Zhao Hui denounced that because he first went short and then bought long, the stock price of Jiaxiang Industrial was unstable, which indirectly caused their teacher to lose money when the stock price was at its lowest point. The pressure on the heart was too great, and eventually the car crashed and everyone died.
Because of the grief in his heart, Zhao Hui appeared to be extremely irritable and restrained when he complained. His anger burst out instantly, without shouting at the top of his voice, but with the numbness of being drained of all his strength, allowing the audience to feel the inner feelings of the character. Resentment and powerlessness over the outcome.
It is rare to see an actor grasp the emotional dimension in an argument scene. He can not only show the character's anger but also contain his emotions well. Yu Hewei did this perfectly.
ranked second, Feng Jiayi .
When the character "Su Jianren" first appeared, I thought he was a decent person who would go to the trouble of his brothers. Facing an old classmate who had been making things difficult for him just after his teacher passed away, Su Jianren was filled with indignation and resentment. He was a positive character at first glance.
What people didn't expect was that when the meal was over, Su Jianren, who had been speaking for Zhao Hui earlier, immediately complained to Xie Zhiyuan, "Zhao Hui is really good at pretending." This was a double-dealing act to make him understand.
When he met Zhou Lin, who looked similar to his college goddess, Su Jianren was so hung up that he couldn't lower the corners of his mouth. A pair of eyes directly fixed on Zhou Lin, welding the image of "color batch" firmly on his body.
It can be said that Su Jianren has provided a lot of emotional jokes in the drama "City Within a City" so far, allowing the audience to feel the financial crisis and ease their emotions at the same time.
Feng Jiayi's performance allowed me to see the charm of the characters, and also allowed the audience to see a fuller group of characters.
ranks third, Tu Songyan .
As a prime supporting actor in film and television dramas, most of the roles played by Tu Songyan are "cowardly". However, in the drama "City Within", Tu Songyan seems to have awakened the villain gene, fully bringing out the evil in Xie Zhiyuan's bones. out.
After the quarrel with Zhao Hui, Xie Zhiyuan got into the car with full of malice. Hearing Zhou Lin's plan to "seduce" Zhao Hui, Xie Zhiyuan smiled contemptuously.
turned around and turned serious again, his eyes full of cold calculation. This emotional change is a classic.
In the scene where he learned that his wife was investigating his whereabouts and came to confront him, Xie Zhiyuan did not feel guilty at all when looking at his wife who was accusing him. His face was ugly and his expression was a bit sinister, even though he was still explaining to his wife. , but his expression was already impatient.
With such impeccable acting skills, has one more point that steals the show, and one less point is not enough. looks forward to Tu Songyan’s more exciting performances in the future.
Poor acting skills
If a drama has good acting skills, by contrast, it will naturally have poor acting skills.
But what no one expected was that the two key actors in "City Within a City" both fell over and their acting skills were criticized.
Let’s first look at the male protagonist Bai Yufan .
To be honest, I really can't figure out why the director would choose such a young actor who is not good enough in terms of traffic and ability. If he wants to choose fresh blood to join, then even if he is the general among the dwarfs, he can't choose Bai Yufan.
In "City Within a City", I couldn't see the impact of Bai Yufan's acting skills as the male protagonist. He didn't get into the role at all. The Tao Wuji he played was like an AI robot, completing the performance according to the set program. , there is no drama in his eyes.
When he learned that his idol Dai Xing had passed away, there seemed to be tears in Tao Wuji's eyes, but they were so thin that they couldn't even blink, and his lines were spoken dryly without any emotion, as if he was telling a story. Just as bland.
and the rivalry scene between Bai Yufan and Yu Hewei were also completely "beaten".
Eating in a restaurant, facing Zhao Hui's passionate explanation, Tao Wuji listened expressionlessly, without even nodding his head, as if the other person was speaking from heaven, his eyes were dull, this acting was too careless.
Let’s look at the heroine Lonnie again.
It is not an exaggeration to use the word " facial features flying " to describe Lonnie.
In the drama, she plays Zhou Lin, the secret agent sent by Xie Zhiyuan to Zhao Hui. She is responsible for seducing Zhao Hui and pulling him into trouble. This is also an important role in Zhao Hui's later darkening.
In the plot setting, Zhou Lin looks exactly like Zhao Hui's ex-wife, a character who charmed all the boys in the class during college. Such a role that can be called a "heartthrob" was played by an actor with average looks like Lonnie. If the acting skills were passable, the audience would not say much, but the key point is that she has no acting skills.
Facing Su Jianren's true confession, Zhou Lin's facial features flew wildly, her eyebrows were lowered and her eyes were squinted, and her teeth were bared. For a moment, her appearance made me seem to see Wu Xin acting.
In order to seduce Zhao Hui, she made physical contact in the elevator and deliberately dug into the packaging bag, causing the fruit to spill on the floor. When Zhao Hui left without even looking at her, Zhou Lin's expression was even more unbearable.
Are there really no beauties in domestic entertainment? Let a person like Bai Yueguang play a role like Bai Yueguang, who is not very good-looking and has poor acting skills.
Conclusion
After watching "City Within a City", I found that the acting skills cannot be compared at all, because without comparison, there is no harm.
When the lineup is popular enough to be popular, some superfluous characters have to be inserted in order to promote newcomers, but Unexpectedly, the newbie fell into disarray throughout the whole process.
What the audience cares about is never whether an old actor plays a role for a young actor. The premise is that the actor is worthy.
But in the drama "City in the City", these "connected households" are Adou who cannot be supported. At least in the current plot, there is no outstanding performance, not even as good as the acting skills of some supporting characters.
Traffic actors who want to truly transform into a capable actor and win recognition from the audience must first make a breakthrough in their acting skills, otherwise they never know when they will be replaced by supporting actors.
"City Within a City" is still on the air right now. Have you ever been persuaded to quit by an actor with poor acting skills?
