html "City Within the City", which was launched in April, took advantage of the influence of CCTV and became an instant hit after it was launched. Now the ratings of the TV series "City Within" have gradually stabilized. With the development of the plot After fermentation, the show's word-of-mouth performance also attracted more viewers.In addition to financial insider information and industry rules, "City Within a City" is full of useful information, including both workplace methods and interpersonal communication skills.
Watching "City Within a City", I really felt like I was watching a boss' high-EQ game.
Of course, in addition to the plot, the casting of the actors in "City Within" is the key to retaining the audience.
Yu HeweiThe outspoken Zhao Hui has a strong sense of the boss's temperament as soon as he appears, but as the plot progresses, Zhao Hui's inner brokenness is also seen by the audience. In a scene where Yu Hewei falls drunk on the sofa, he directly Let the audience overflow with maternal love across the screen.
In addition, Feng Jiayi played Su Jianren, Wang Jinsong played Big Brother, Tu Songyan played Xie Zhiyuan, all of them showed the temperament of their characters and the details of their performances in a very gripping way.
With the portrayal of these powerful actors, "City Within a City" is even more eye-catching. Not only that, many new faces also left a deep impression on the audience, led by powerful actors.
Breaking through the image of a silly and sweet heroine, Tian Xiaohui is full of memorable points.
In fact, many viewers did not understand when they learned that Tian Xiaohui, played by Xia Meng, was the protagonist in the play. The cast of "City Within a City" is so outstanding. Compared with Xia Meng, Chen Jin, Yang Zishan, and Long Ni who also participated in the show are all actors with more heroine qualities.
But I didn’t expect that Xia Meng, who was not well-known, became more and more lovable in the drama and soon conquered the audience.
She plays Tian Xiaohui, a young and ignorant newcomer to the workplace, who is also the girlfriend of the male protagonist Tao Wuji. When the character first came online, she was an ordinary and ordinary image, with innocence in her eyes, and she always looked warm in front of her boyfriend. The white moonlight girl with heart.
As the plot progresses, Tian Xiaohui’s ambition is gradually revealed. She does not pursue down-to-earth progress like Tao Wuji. On the contrary, she prefers to take shortcuts. First, she entered the company with the help of her cousin and became a humanoid monitor. Later, she lowered her principles and bottom line again and again, showing off her cleverness.
In the character Tian Xiaohui, the audience can clearly see the life value of "seeking wealth amidst danger".
According to the logic of domestic dramas, Tian Xiaohui’s ending will definitely not be happy, but in the entire urban drama market, there are too few heroines who show ambition like Tian Xiaohui.
Just because she deviates from the traditional image of a silly, sweet, and holy heroine, Tian Xiaohui makes the audience look at her with admiration.
Moreover, the audience is really fed up with the useless heroine. In the latest plot, a female colleague who has a crush on Tao Wuji comes to his house for dinner, but she displays a considerate and masculine temperament that is close to Tao Wuji.
If this were the heroine in an ordinary TV series, she would either pretend to be stupid and wait for the male protagonist to vent her anger on her behalf, or she would be too insensitive, so silly and sweet that she would not be able to sense the other party's malice at all.
But Tian Xiaohui was different. Tian Xiaohui was being controlled by her female colleague throughout the dinner. However, Tian Xiaohui said "I heard Tao Tao say that Cheng Jiayuan likes you very much", which directly caused her female colleague to break the defense online and leave the meeting angrily.
Regardless of what trouble Tian Xiaohui will cause in the future because of her little shrewdness, anyway, in this scene, the audience was delighted by Tian Xiaohui's operation.
Moreover, Xia Meng, who plays Tian Xiaohui, has exquisite acting skills and an online image, making it difficult for the audience to ignore her presence.
looks exactly like Guo Xiaoting . Zhang Zifeng’s top student is indeed extraordinary.
Xia Meng’s interpretation of Tian Xiaohui is full of contrast. In the early stage, Xia Meng’s portrayal was the route of a smart girl. She has a beautiful image, clear makeup, and a lot of charm. He has a strong student spirit, and his every move is smart and charming.
But in the later period, Xia Meng's performance changed significantly. After being tricked by her cousin, Tian Xiaohui got angry and expressed her dissatisfaction openly. She couldn't bear it and was full of grievances. Later, Tian Xiaohui gradually learned the rules of the workplace, and Xia Meng's smile was no longer just emotional feedback. On the contrary, her smile may have other purposes hidden in it.
Just like she said sweetly, her intention was to deliberately embarrass Tao Wuji's female colleagues and make them stand down.
Xia Meng's acting skills are very vivid and delicate, with layers of emotional shaping and progressive foreshadowing. Not only that, Xia Meng's appearance is also very recognizable.
Compared with Xiaohua, who takes the sweet route in domestic entertainment and is a Korean beauty, Xia Meng has a thin face and delicate facial features. She can play both an innocent girl and a shrewd woman.
Sometimes, Xia Meng from a special angle even looks a bit like Guo Xiaoting. Not to mention her outstanding beauty, but she is indeed able to catch a glimpse at the first glance. After a few more glances, she feels more comfortable and comfortable. The more relatable it is.
Moreover, Xia Meng once ranked first in the country in the theater performance major, the first in the country in the Nortel performance major, the first in the country in the Chinese drama performance major, and the fifth in the country in the Chinese opera performance major, leaving behind the gap with other candidates. In the end Choose Nortel and enter the 2020 Nortel performance experimental class.
As early as 4 years ago, some netizens posted a group photo of the experimental class at that time. Zhang Zifeng also appeared in the photo. Moreover, Xia Meng and Zhang Zifeng were roommates in the same dormitory. The two were very close and even took the photo together. They hugged each other tightly.
However, compared to Zhang Zifeng, Xia Meng's film and television drama resources are not that outstanding. In recent years, although Xia Meng has also had film and television dramas online, she has often portrayed relatively marginalized characters.
In addition to the heroine of "City Within the City", she has played Ding Liu in "西出玉门" and young Ning You in "The Season of Encounter". Without exception, these characters are all female supporting characters. The charm of the characters is not outstanding, and the popularity of the works is far less than that of "City Within a City".
If it weren't for the popularity of "City Within a City", many viewers would probably think that Xia Meng is a new face in the entertainment industry.
Fortunately, the character Tian Xiaohui gave Xia Meng a stage to show himself. In this drama, Xia Meng's acting skills and image are not particularly outstanding, but they are still memorable. Being able to maintain his own presence and character highlights in a work full of talented actors is enough to show that Xia Meng actually has great potential.
Moreover, Xia Meng a few years ago was a top student certified by major universities. Compared with most actors, she has a higher starting point, acting talent, and better image conditions. As long as she can stabilize her performance Quality, continue to practice acting skills on the screen, I believe Xia Meng will usher in better roles and better works.
