In fact, starting from last year's "Go to Where the Wind Is", the pace of domestic life dramas has gradually slowed down. Many TV dramas focus on a "healing wind", even if it is a recent topic "My Altay", which has soared in popularity, is also attracting attention with its original and simple story background.
"Slow" has almost become a new trend in domestic dramas.
And this new drama " Old Guys ", which will be launched on May 14th, simply focuses the plot on a group of "old guys". This drama is positioned as a 36-episode urban elderly care topic drama.
The entire drama reflects the problems of the elderly from the perspective of the elderly. Although the story is extremely inspirational, compared to the frequent bloody plots in urban dramas, the tone of "Old Guy" is a relaxing and healing entrepreneurial comedy.
It can also be seen from the various materials released by the drama "Old Guy" that this drama is facing a sinking market and has shown the momentum of becoming a big hit in all aspects.
The screenwriter is reliable and the plot is interesting. "Old Guy" is worth watching.
The director and screenwriter are the most important in terms of the plot quality of a drama. The director of the drama "Old Guy" Wen Deguang was once the director of excellent works such as "Story of Yanxi Palace", "Jade Hearts", "All About Dr. Tang", etc. His ability is quite stable, even if he cannot The output is a hit, and the quality is basically stuck at the 7-point level.
Not only that, the screenwriter Zhao Dongling is the plot guarantee of this drama. In the past two years, "Police Honor" and "Happiness to Ten Thousands of Homes", as well as " Bullfighting " and " Red Sorghum " in the past two years, are Zhao Dongling's masterpieces of screenwriting, and they are also benchmark-quality works in domestic dramas.
With a powerful director and a hit screenwriter, the production of "Old Guy" is something that people can't help but look forward to.
Judging from the content of the trailer, the audience is already ready for thunderous laughter.
The entire drama revolves around three elderly people. Xiao Changqing ( Zhang Guoli ), Sun Qiancheng ( Wang Gang ), and Chen Xincheng ( Zhang Tielin ) founded a retirement community after retirement. The elderly in the community There will always be all kinds of troubles, and the three protagonists each have their own troubles at home. In this way, the three old people's retirement journeys often cause uproarious jokes.
Since it is a partnership between three people to open a retirement community, there is naturally the question of who is the leader and who is in power. The three of them are fighting for it, each with their own reasons. Turning around, Xia Mingzhou, played by Zhou Tao, said, "Okay, okay, don't fight. Now, I will be responsible for all the work."
As soon as these words were said, the three old men were dumbfounded. As soon as the screen turned, Xiao Changqing was seen holding a document and reporting work seriously. The trailer only lasts two minutes, but the actors played the characters very cutely, and the conflicts in the plot were also very relaxed.
Not only that, there are also many high-light comedy scenes in the trailer. Three old men with white hair are sitting on a three-person motorcycle and shouting "Ye Qing Hui", which really puts the hot words on the Internet to practical use.
The comic effect of Zhang Guoli and Wang Gang emerging from the trash can also has a sincerity in trying their best to amuse the audience.
Moreover, the comedy rhythm of the older generation artists is really full and just right. In order to solve the problem of elderly fraud, the three people became detectives with a sense of "stealing" and entered the police station.
Sun Qiancheng said, "We three are a gang," and Chen Xincheng, who was next door, ruthlessly complained, "Can a team be good?"
Even the trailer was packed with laughs, but I can't imagine how interesting the feature film of "Old Guy" will be. What's more, with Zhang Guoli, Wang Gang, and Zhang Tielin standing on top of each other, the show is absolutely stable.
The powerful old partners are back, and the Iron Triangle is finally in the same frame.
Judging from the cast, Zhang Tielin, Wang Gang, and Zhang Guoli are the souls of the drama "Old Guy".
Actor Zhang Tielin has actually not appeared on the screen for a long time. Many viewers' impressions of Zhang Tielin are still in the period of " Iron Teeth Bronze Teeth Ji Xiaolan ". In the play, he played the role of Emperor Qianlong with rich images, dignified majesty and humor. feel.
In the drama "Old Guy", Zhang Tielin returns to the screen and portrays a "leader" character. Judging from the special episode, the character of Chen Xincheng portrayed by Zhang Tielin this time likes to put on the airs of a leader. He is big and official. Er Zhong, the texture in the trailer is really similar to his imperial temperament in "Iron Teeth Bronze Teeth Ji Xiaolan".
As for Wang Gang, he is also a low-key and capable actor. This time he was invited to star by an old friend. In the play, he plays Sun Qiancheng, who has a very loose character, is carefree and somewhat unreliable, and has a distinctive personality. At the same time, it was also performed with realism by Wang Gang.
For example, Wang Gang in the trailer often speaks wildly, and even his posture gives people a sense of casual relaxation.
Of course, the highlight of the drama "Old Guy" is definitely Zhang Guoli. Wang Gang and Zhang Tielin have not met the audience in starring works for a long time, but Zhang Guoli has been breaking through himself on the road of acting.
In life dramas, he can be a kind and kind grandfather. In workplace dramas, he can be a boss figure. In the movie " as solid as a rock ", the corrupt villain played by Zhang Guoli seems to be decent but has ruthless methods. , act decisively.
But this time, Xiao Changqing, the protagonist portrayed by Zhang Guoli in "Old Guy", is a worried old man who is in charge of everything and has to intervene in everything. He is enthusiastic and sincere, and he also puts on a serious posture from time to time.
The audience has no doubts about Zhang Guoli's acting skills.
Not only that, the reunion of the Iron Triangle has also become the highlight of "Old Guy". These three leading actors are all ace individually, and even more so together. "Iron Teeth and Bronze Teeth Ji Xiaolan" has become a symbol of affection for many viewers as a childhood memory.
Nowadays, the "Iron Triangle" reunited, changed into modern clothes and began to play the role of starting a business and then finding a job. The audience had to click in and take a look just out of curiosity.
The good thing about reuniting old partners is the tacit understanding. When shooting on the set, the three people had a really high degree of tacit understanding. The whole shooting process was very joyful. The whole audience laughed "hahahahahaha" without stopping, and the highlights were all enjoyable. If it's like this, let alone the feature film.
In addition, the advantage of the team of powerful actors is that the pace is very fast. The three actors have strong acting skills and work together very well. In the Mesozoic era, domestic dramas that often pair up with young actors but frequently overturn, "Old Guy" can be regarded as open to the public. Yu Yu took a set of 36 episodes of acting lessons and asked Yu Yu to see what it means to be a complementary and powerful combination of rivals.
All in all, the popularity of "Old Guy" is destined. As long as the plot is guaranteed, Audio-Technica will only surprise the audience. The strength of the director + screenwriter, the tacit understanding and acting skills of the iron triangle make the drama "Old Guy" a dark horse waiting to be released in 2024.
