The new work "City Within a City" may not be so enthusiastically discussed on the Internet, but this has not affected its charm on the TV screen at all. Thanks to Taiwan's huge loyal audience base, this drama has firmly topped the ratings rankings.
In the play, Mr. Yu Hewei leads a group of veteran actors to co-star as senior acting stars. They use their superb performances to bring vivid life to the characters. The passionate performances of these veteran actors have undoubtedly ignited the audience's enthusiasm and expectations for this new drama, making people full of excitement and curiosity about every plot twist.
01 The style of an old actor
Teacher Yu Hewei's acting skills are not only good, they can be said to be superb. Not only did he perfectly capture the psychological activities of his characters, he also showed the layers and depth of emotions through his expressions and body language. The image of Zhao Hui he created is full and three-dimensional, allowing the audience to deeply feel the emotional fluctuations of the character. This is proof of the profound skills of an experienced actor.
In the play, Zhao Hui not only has to face huge blows in life - the death of his mentor and his daughter's serious illness, but he also has to deal with ruthless exclusion in the workplace. These continuous blows made the protagonist, who originally insisted on upright principles, begin to feel unsteady. Teacher Yu's performance in the play can be regarded as the pinnacle of acting skills. Faced with the unreasonable criticism from his boss, he stood up calmly and subtly showed tolerance and wisdom with a thumbs up, while at the same time vaguely revealing dissatisfaction. The subtlety of this performance is amazing.
The meeting ended, and the male protagonist lost his halo and revealed his true self. Teacher Yu silently conveyed the anger and struggle in the character's heart through his hands clenching the steering wheel and clenching his teeth. His face is almost dripping with sweat, and he interprets inner depression and emotional explosion points, making the audience feel as if they have personally experienced the character's inner world.
Feng Jiayi, who is also a veteran actor, has excellent acting skills. His exaggerated expressions and large body movements not only do not appear excessive, but become a bright spot in the performance style, which is impressive. He is able to accurately grasp the character's characteristics and interpret a complex character to the point where he laughs with tears, making people feel the depth of the character and the warmth of the story even while laughing.
Senior Feng's performance is one of the rare highlights in "City Within a City". "Su Jianren" has become an "old wine" that cannot be ignored. He not only succeeded in injecting a relaxed and humorous atmosphere into the plot, but also gave the audience many opportunities to decompress in the tense plot. The handsomeness of the two male characters is a result of years of accumulation, rather than the deliberate effort of young people!
02 Young Fresh Meat
Bai Yufan, as the "fresh meat" male protagonist, is under heavy pressure again. The character he plays, who is average-looking, has a tough-guy stance to create his personality, but this seems a bit out of place in the context of the plot, and does not seem to match the environment he is in.
When a male supervisor in the play ridiculed Tao Wuji, he said contemptuously: "You really take her words as golden rules." In this scene, angry veins can be vaguely seen on Xiaoxianrou's face, and his eyes are full of anger. His fists were clenched as if he were ready to swing at his boss at any moment. Although this shows a certain amount of emotional tension, the expressiveness of his gaze seems too straightforward and lacks a delicate gradient of emotional levels. Obviously, Yufan still has a lot of room for improvement in his acting skills. He can learn from veteran actors such as Yu Hewei how to portray the inner world more deeply.
When the young female colleague Hu Yue retorted: "Is it necessary to speak ill of people behind their backs?" The audience's attention was attracted by her "distinctive" nose shape, and for a moment it was difficult to tell whether it was the plot or the plot. Her appearance takes center stage. At the same time, Liu Siyuan's face is slightly swollen, the corners of his eyes are drooped, and his eyebrows are messy. These details made some viewers feel that they were in trouble. In contrast, the natural expressions of other older characters in the background were more intriguing.
Wuji’s fight in Liyuan the day before was revealed, and the inspector came to the bank. At this time, Wuji calmly defended himself: "I neither took action nor fought back, you can go investigate."At this time, Bai Yufan showed the character's composure quite well. This is one of his few highlights in the whole drama! Hu Yue next to him also helped confirm: "Yes, I saw it with my own eyes yesterday. "However, actor Siyuan's pouty lips and peculiar nose shape made the audience wonder whether what is popular now is an exotic aesthetic. After one drama, the younger generations still have too much to learn! Without comparison, there is no comparison No harm.
03 The battle between two generations
This drama carefully draws the lives of two generations in the financial world. We see the stability and wisdom of the older generation of bank deputy Zhao Hui. His image is like a solid beacon. Illuminating the path of traditional finance.
At the same time, the new generation teller Tao Wuji is like a fresh morning breeze. His appearance heralds change and new ideas, and represents the exploration and adventure of financial people in the new era. This completely different life trajectory not only shows the choices and persistence of individuals, but also reflects the transformation and evolution of the entire socio-economic structure. It is a pity that the performance of young actors still lags behind some of their predecessors, otherwise the ratings of the show will be lower. Higher!
