The next Chinese drama market is very busy, and there are all types of domestic dramas.
If you want to watch an urban drama, Huang Xiaoming and Wang Ou's "Red Heat" is obviously your first choice. It not only brings real entrepreneurial business wars to the screen, but also has an unprecedentedly powerful cast.
There are a lot of commercial dramas, especially those focusing on the judicial industry, all of them are ruthless.
As for the lineup and themes, the most eye-catching one is "In the Name of Law" starring Zhang Yi and Jiang Xin. This drama not only talks about the judicial industry, but also brings large-scale anti-gang cases to the screen.
As we all know, Zhang Yi is a quality assurance person. The dramas he likes are all of the level of "Horse", and "In the Name of Law" will most likely be a hit.
Audiences who like romantic dramas also have great works to follow. " You Are More Beautiful than Starlight " starring Xu Kai and Tan Songyun is about to be broadcast. Just a pair of good-looking and cute CPs, there is no reason not to follow it.
Even with comedy themes, in addition to "The Legend of Magpie Blade Gate 2" starring Zhao Benshan, there is also "The Lost Elephant" starring Wang Zhiwen.
When this drama released a new trailer, it was also officially announced to be released on July 4th. All members of
are talented and the lineup is also very strong. This hit drama is finally here!
One, the plots are intertwined, and the wonderful group portrait drama is about to begin.
Let’s first take a look at what kind of story "The Lost Elephant" tells!
A declining fifth-tier town, Xiangcheng, is about to usher in an international marathon. Around this marathon, various characters will appear.
There are young people from small towns who engage in weddings and weddings, gangsters who open mahjong parlors, a circus troupe with few people, a big boss behind the counterfeit money business, etc.
Zhang Kuang (played by Li Jiuxiao), who has a dream, wants to hitch a ride on the marathon, so he opportunistically borrows the elephant from his girlfriend's acrobatic troupe, but unexpectedly loses the elephant and is involved in the counterfeit money case. in the vortex.
But if you look at the plot summary, you will know that there will be many characters in this drama, and it is also a wonderful group drama.
It is understandable how difficult it is to put these seemingly unrelated characters in a drama and connect them together.
But after watching the trailer of this drama, I don’t have to worry about the fragmented plot and incoherent character connections.
For example, the relationship between the person who organizes the marathon and the person who runs the acrobatic troupe is a boyfriend and girlfriend. In order to make the marathon a success, the big boss who makes counterfeit money brings in the ideal young man who is stupid and tries to use it. He comes to solve the thorny problem of counterfeit money.
On the other side, the gangster fell in love with the female boss, who only drank soup and did not eat meat. She also wanted to make a lot of money by doing big ticket business, and she got in touch with the big boss who made counterfeit money.
And one wave of crimes attracted the attention of the police, and the stage was set for a drama that seemed absurd but was actually very down-to-earth.
Whether you can play this wave of black humor well depends not only on the script, but also on the actors.
Second, all the actors are worth looking forward to. Wang Zhiwencheng's "Dinghai Shenzhen"
The difficulty of presenting comedies is often much more difficult than other types of dramas. In other words, if you perform well in comedies, other types of dramas will not be a problem.
In this "The Lost Elephant", many actors are actors with a comedy background, but there are also some who have not shown their comedy potential before, but in the trailer, there are also surprisingly stunning performances.
Being able to bring these actors together shows that the casting director of "The Lost Elephant" has something.
ranked first, Li Jiuxiao.
I believe many viewers will find this face familiar!
Yes, actor Li Jiuxiao has appeared in " Eight Hundred ", " Hot Pot Heroes ", " King Kong River " and other works. He has always played supporting roles on the big screen.
Although most of these masterpieces are of the main theme type, he has previously partnered with Chen Jianbin and Zhou Xun in " Chapter 11 ". In other words, Li Jiuxiao has comedy performance experience.
In "The Lost Elephant", Zhang Kuang, played by Li Jiuxiao, is the soul of the show. It was his desire to realize his dream and hold a marathon that triggered a series of problems.
As long as Li Jiuxiao can perform at the same level as on the big screen, the quality of this drama can be guaranteed.
second place, Jiang Long.
How many viewers got to know Jiang Long through the "Annual Comedy Competition"?
From the sketch stage to the screen, Jiang Long, a seemingly inconspicuous comedian, was finally seen by everyone.
Over the years, he has successively appeared in works such as "The Illustrated Book of Crime Hunting", "Hot", "The Wind Rises in Luoyang", and the one that is closer to us is "Gou Sheng Run Run".
can play an unforgettable supporting role as well as a leading role. Jiang Long is completely an underestimated treasure actor.
This time in "The Lost Elephant", Jiang Long is undoubtedly the comedy actor in this drama, and having him in it is not a problem to be entertained.
The third place is Ren Suxi.
In terms of appearance, Ren Suxi may not be ranked high in domestic entertainment. But in terms of acting skills, she is the kind of actress who can play well with anyone, and whoever plays with her is likely to be crushed.
The reason why Ren Suxi steals the limelight is precisely because her acting is so good.
Looking at her achievements in the past few years, there are " The Unknown " and " Donkey Gets Water " on the big screen, and "I'm fine in a foreign country" and " Hometown, Don't Come" on the small screen. Safe 》.
's vision in selecting scripts is accurate enough, and her acting is good enough. Having her there also makes people feel at ease.
In "The Lost Elephant", the female boss played by Ren Suxi still has her venomous tongue and speaks Trump, which is authentic and interesting.
ranked fourth, Wang Zhiwen.
There is no doubt that the most anticipated one is Wang Zhiwen. I’ve seen him put on a long robe and mandarin jacket to play Mr. Lu Xun, and I’ve also seen him with his hair parted sideways, speaking elegant lines, and portraying the image of an artistic young man.
I can play any kind of role, but I have never seen Wang Zhiwen play a comedy. Wang Zhiwen in the trailer of
has a serious look on his face. He still looks fierce and a bit like a villain, but his helpless expression makes people feel inexplicably funny.
As he got older, Wang Zhiwen’s comedy talent was discovered.
Wang Zhiwen is undoubtedly the anchor of this drama, I believe he will not disappoint us.
Conclusion
For a high-quality film and television work, the script is very important, but the actors are also crucial. Both
are indispensable, but if you have both at the same time, you can almost book a hot product.
Although there are no popular stars in "The Lost Elephant" who can bring popularity to the series, there are a number of capable actors who can act well.
When I saw them, I knew that this drama was stable. In addition, in the drama, Rao Xiaozhi, who has produced works such as "The Unknown" and " Thousand Miles Home ", serves as the producer, so there is no need to worry about the quality.
Do you think this drama can be successful?
