The plot of this TV series was set in the turbulent Republic of China era, integrating financial and espionage elements. , tells the story of the male protagonist's latent experience in the crisis-ridden central bank.
After watching "Storm Chaser", many people couldn't help but say that this is the most exciting financial drama in recent years.
After "Storm Chaser", another new drama "City Within a City" was released. It is also a theme drama with finance as its core. It has become the king of CCTV, with ratings exceeding 1 one after another, and the number of broadcasts has increased many times. It topped the charts, but how did it trigger a ratings frenzy and become a drama comparable to "Storm Chaser"? The reason is not complicated.
01 The beginning is exciting, with bright and dark lines intertwined.
The series begins with a famous scene of a "gangsters gathering". The solemn all-black costumes, the atmosphere full of gloom, and the undercurrent of the funeral are among the many financial tycoons. A beauty with gold-rimmed glasses came over. Zhao Hui was shocked by her resemblance to the late wife of bank president Zhao Hui. He watched her go away in a daze. After this flirtation, the series gradually developed a misty background. The plot of
is not only an attractive beginning, but also allows the audience to feel that the aesthetic style of the entire work is relatively advanced. For the audience, it can create such suspense in such an urgent opening stage, and Given a unique aesthetic design, the TV series is already half the battle.
02 Professional in financial knowledge, and the plot is gripping
Many TV series have emotional plots, and "City in the City" is no exception. The emotional line could have improved the watchability of a TV series and allowed the TV series to gain more audiences, but it happened Many people have criticized that the three emotional lines of "City Within the City" are the biggest failure. If the emotional lines are deleted, it will be more enjoyable to watch.
The reason why everyone has such an idea is because the financial main line of "City Within a City" is really attractive. The screenwriter seems to have a complete set of industry information in the financial industry as a back-up, which is closely linked to the financial industry environment. All the underlying undercurrents are revealed. Watching this TV series is like watching a white paper on the financial industry. In the
drama, a certain company's stock is maliciously shorted by overseas funds, and it needs a bank loan to rescue the market. However, according to the normal situation, the loan cannot be invested in the stock. This violates the fairness of the stock market, but in the drama However, President Dai used one line to reveal the unspoken rules of the bank and transfer the money to the enterprise.
03 The actors are full of tension and their acting skills are explosive.
The leading actors in "City Within a City" cover three generations, old, middle and young, and whether they are young actors or veteran actors, their acting skills are remarkable.
Young actresses such as Xia Meng performed very well in the play. Xia Meng is the first-ranked amateur arts candidate in both China National Theater and Beijing Film Academy. It can be said that she is a proper academic acting school with excellent acting skills.
Many academic actors are always questioned about their acting skills because they "can't take off Kong Yiji's gown" because they follow certain routines and patterns so much that they look like they are acting at first glance. However, Xia Meng's acting skills are particularly natural. In the play, she plays a bank teller and flirts with her boyfriend pretending to be a customer. Her expression is particularly lively when she smiles. Her shyness and pride that cannot be concealed are all reflected in her performance.
The middle-aged actress Yang Zishan also manages the image of a rebellious and ruthless female executive just right. There is no trace of the blabbing in " To Youth ".
old drama bone Yu Hewei has mastered a character full of complexity and multi-facetedness. Although he is a bank president, he looks very glorious on the surface, but in fact he is burdened with a lot and is in trouble.This is what
calls a high-quality drama. It seems that there are many clues intertwined with each other, but in fact, each path is handled just right. "City Within a City" has reached a very high level in terms of cast, plot and professional aspects. For the audience, it is a rare and good drama, truly comparable to "The Storm Chaser". I hope that domestic dramas will have more high-quality dramas like this and less lousy ones.
