In domestic dramas, urban themes have always been unique.
I think back then, two dramas such as " Ode to Joy " and " are good " and " Little Joy " once dominated the ratings of national dramas.
In recent years, popular urban dramas such as " Thirty Only ", " An Jia ", " Xiao She De " and other popular urban dramas have also appeared.
It can be said that this is one of the most mature and best types of Chinese dramas.
Since the birth of these hit dramas, urban dramas focusing on "original families" have created a new hit code.
But in the past two years, the new popular password seems to be difficult to use, especially compared with the excellent results in the past, the popularity of urban family dramas is not satisfactory.
's "Fireworks", "Little Days", and "The Story of Joy" released this year all received mediocre responses, which makes people wonder, are urban family dramas no longer good?
Don't worry, the drama is coming.
" old guy " was broadcast on two major TV stations in Jiangsu and Beijing. It was broadcast simultaneously in Taochang. It ranked first in the ratings when it was first broadcast, which shows that the popularity is extraordinary.
At the same time, Douban’s word-of-mouth was released. Looking at the four- and five-star reviews that filled the screen, I couldn’t hide my excitement. Finally, there was a decent urban family drama to watch!
A solid "iron triangle", each with its own plans
"Old Guy" tells the story of three "old men", Xiao Changqing (played by Zhang Guoli), Sun Qiancheng (played by Wang Gang) who naturally retired, and retired Chen Xincheng (played by Zhang Tielin). story between.
From the little things in life to starting a business in old age, this "iron triangle" pair showed the audience a life picture full of laughter and tears.
Different from other urban idol dramas, "Old Guy" not only tells the lives of young men and women, but also focuses on the depiction of retired groups.
The sincerity of the play is obvious to all, and its two advantages make people attracted to the play.
One, the funny trio.
The story begins, and the three protagonists appear one after another.
Xiao Changqing, wearing a suit and bow tie, stood in front of a crowd as a conductor, rehearsing for the group party, and was bound to show the style of this generation.
On the other side, Sun Qiancheng accidentally entered an MLM organization and finally escaped by climbing over the wall. He was still bragging to the driver who came to pick him up.
said that it was some online credit company that invited him to go there, but he didn’t want to deceive people, so he didn’t bother to associate with it.
The lives of these two people are so colorful, but things are not going well in Chengxin City on the other side.
Xincheng Group was in a precarious situation, with insufficient funds, and faced the fate of being acquired. However, Chen Xincheng refused to accept the old advice, recounted his success over and over again, and firmly refused to agree to the acquisition.
Three old men, three lifestyles, which makes the audience a little curious, how did they get together? This is the second highlight of the play.
Second, the plot is fast-paced and not sloppy.
The plot reaches the third episode. Chen Xincheng retires completely. The three old men from the Iron Triangle also get together to face a nursing home and want to show off their talents.
However, it is not that easy to open a retirement community. All three people have their own thoughts.
Chairman Chen Xincheng, who is full of flamboyance, will not give in and is determined to firmly control the management and control of the retirement community.
Things in the good old Xiao Changqing's family have not been settled yet, and they are afraid that Sun Qiancheng will do something illegal and disciplinary, and they firmly hold the director's authority in his hands.
Sun Qiancheng can be said to be the shrewdest and "miserable" figure among the three. He spent money to develop real estate in a retirement community and secretly contacted investors, but was rejected many times because the government approval was delayed.
At the same time, the families of these three old guys were not at peace either. Xiao Changqing's mother wholeheartedly supported his sister, and Chen Xincheng's son, who looked down upon, started his own business.
Sun Qiancheng's daughter was betrayed by a scumbag, and she also suffered from depression and was mentally depressed.
It’s true that every family has its own troubles. The drama "Old Guy" not only focuses on the family troubles of retirees, but also covers the discussion of the relationship between the older generation and the younger generation.
The plot is fast-paced, and the style of painting is humorous and yet serious. It is so interesting.
The old actors are gathered together, and the acting skills are so good
The drama "Old Guy" is well-intentioned. It not only brings together the "Iron Triangle" from " Iron Teeth Bronze Teeth Ji Xiaolan ", but also invites a number of powerful actors Actors came to join.
allows the audience to taste the taste of life from the actors' performances. Let the actors impress the audience with their true feelings and bring them into the drama.
ranks first, Zhang Guoli.
Zhang Guoli, a national first-class actor, needless to say about his acting skills.
htmlThe long-standing "Prime Minister Liu Luoguo", " Kangxi's Private Interview in Private Servers", "Iron Teeth and Bronze Teeth Ji Xiaolan", and the recent " Solid as a Rock" and "Xiao Shede", whether good or bad, Zhang Guoli can do it Easy to handle.
In the new drama "Old Guy", Xiao Changqing, played by Zhang Guoli, is a complete doormat.
Faced with his old mother's request to buy a house for his sister's family, Xiao Changqing responded with emotion and reason, looking at his mother with eyes full of testing and scrutiny.
However, under the attack of his mother who cried when she disagreed, Xiao Changqing gave in impatiently, fully revealing the heartache and pain of the character, which was too frustrating.
Zhang Guoli's performance is natural and vivid, without unnecessary movements, and naturally blends into the character, bringing the audience into the play.
ranked second, Liu Jia.
The acting skills of Liu Jia, a national first-class actor, cannot be underestimated. In dramas such as "Hello, Li Huanying" and "Go Where the Wind Is", Liu Jia has brought textbook acting skills to the audience.
In the new drama "Old Guy", Liu Jia plays the role of Zhang Guirong. Listening to his son complaining to him about Chen Xincheng, Zhang Guirong felt helpless and distressed.
Watching his son talk about the unwillingness and sadness in his heart over the years, Zhang Guirong's face was full of distress, and he looked at the other person deeply, his emotions tumbling in his heart.
Liu Jia perfectly portrays the image of a forbearing and loving mother. Her performance is restrained but can still make the audience feel the huge emotional fluctuations. Her acting skills are too stable.
The third place is Wang Gang.
is also a national first-class actor. Wang Gang's acting skills have been reflected in dramas such as "Prime Minister Liu Luoguo" and "Iron Teeth and Bronze Teeth Ji Xiaolan". In recent years, he has not produced many works and has almost faded out of the audience's sight.
However, I didn't expect that in the new drama "Old Guy", Sun Qiancheng, played by Wang Gang, was right the moment he appeared.
As the shrewd and smooth "old fox" in the "Iron Triangle", as soon as Sun Qiancheng appeared, the character's shrewdness and scheming were immediately apparent.
Whether he is asking for money from his wife or planning to do business, Sun Qiancheng has always used the word "profiteer" throughout, and the character has its own sense of humor.
But he is not a purely funny character. When discussing his daughter's mental health issues with his wife, Sun Qiancheng burst out with a fatherly heart when he looked at his nonchalant face.
is full of disappointment for his wife and distress for his daughter. Wang Gang's acting is not bad. But I'm even more looking forward to Sun Qiancheng's reaction when he learns that his daughter has been betrayed by a scumbag and becomes a scumbag.
ranked fourth, Zhang Tielin.
Zhang Tielin, who is also an actor, also performed very well in the new drama "Old Guy". Chen Xincheng, who he plays, has been full of official airs since his appearance. He behaves like a successful entrepreneur and has good acting skills.
fifth place, Zhou Tao.
This former CCTV host is participating in a TV series for the first time. In the new drama "Old Guy", she plays the role of Xia Mingzhou. She appears as a strong woman with a fierce aura that makes people unable to take their eyes away.
is worthy of being a host who has hosted many Spring Festival Galas. He has a stable style and even his acting skills are quite natural.
In addition, Zhang Haowei, Sun Anke, Wang Zijian, Liu Shangen, Mao Yi and other powerful actors also contributed outstanding acting skills in the play. The portraits of the characters are rich and exciting. It would be a pity not to watch it.
Conclusion
The wonderful thing about "Old Guy" is that no matter whether life is sweet or bitter, as long as it is your own, you must swallow it. And these realities, gathered in ordinary people, are an indescribable empathy.
This once again gave domestic family dramas the power to shake people's hearts, and also allowed the lives of ordinary people to enter the screen again and become the focus of the story.
Family dramas are difficult to film because they discuss "the scripture that is difficult for every family to recite". It is easy for the audience to get into the drama and also to make the audience impatient.
The method of "Old Guy" is to bring the story back to life, vividly showing the conflicts, crises and difficulties faced by each family, and it is not bloody.
The play shows the audience that everyone lives in confusion and limitations. No matter how old you are, you will have different troubles and dilemmas.
But the story is not only about uncovering the truth of life, but also about finding the strength to solve problems.
The story continues, and so does our life. When you wake up tomorrow, you will have new worries and new emotions.
Life is like a story, gurgling like a trickle and raging like a big river. A family lives a life of daily necessities, including trivial matters, noisy situations, and the warmth of family affection.
Then let us stay in front of the TV together and see how these "old guys" set an example for the next generation and create new glory for retirees.
