There is a type of drama that has the configuration of a big heroine, but it does not have the core of a big heroine. This is the case for " Sauvignon Blanc ".
Although this drama is not a heroine in the true sense, the plot is indeed top-notch and the quality is indeed online.
Comparing the popular costume dramas with female protagonists in the past two years, we can see that the heroine Xiaoyao in the drama "Sauvignon Blanc" actually does not have a strong driving force.
The heroine in " Mo Yuyunjian " has her own main line of revenge, and the heroine in " and Fengxing " has so-called responsibilities and missions.
But Xiaoyao is different. On the eve of the plot, as Wen Xiaoliu, a slovenly man, he was even more independent and had a core drive to survive. However, after meeting the male protagonists, her life began to revolve around the male protagonists.
She had no time to care about Qingshui Town in the past. She participated in the power struggle for Xuanxuan. Even when Xiaoyao resumed her identity as Wang Ji in the second season, she was depressed every day. Xuanxuan was worried about her condition, but she said that she I always think back to the days in Qingshui Town and can’t let go of Shi Qi.
In terms of character, Xiaoyao is kind and upright, with a clear distinction between love and hate, but it must be said that Xiaoyao's core driving force is insufficient. Compared with her own life pursuit, her story is sandwiched between three men.
What exactly does a heroine design like
rely on to attract attention?
" Sauvignon Blanc 2" went online and became a hit. What are the audience watching?
The answer is very simple, it depends on the male protagonist.
Most idol dramas that do not pursue a leading heroine to pursue a career actually rely on the charm of male characters. Many important male characters even determine the upper limit of a drama.
And "Sauvignon Blanc 2" is really the only work in recent years where the three male protagonists are all charming. They love Xiaoyao in different ways, but they are equally affectionate and dedicated. Rather than analyzing Xiaoyao's reaction, the audience prefers to look for evidence of their love for Xiaoyao in the male protagonist's performance and in the details.
The most basic condition for all this is actually very superficial, which is the appearance of the actor. How important is the appearance of the actor? Just look at the status of Zhang Wanyi, Tan Jianci , and Deng Wei in "Sauvignon Blanc 2". knew.
Kingly temperament, the ultimate sense of contrast
Zhang Wanyi, who plays Xuanxuan, actually looks very honest. This honesty allowed him to play a revolutionary martyr in "The Awakening Age", and he also relied on such a role He became popular and became known to more audiences.
He looks too upright, whether it is the bone appearance, the proportions of three courts and five eyes, or his personal temperament, it is just right. However, as the saying goes "the more correct, the more taboo", Zhang Wanyi's righteousness has turned into "unmoral" The soil where "feeling" breeds.
When this sense of contrast was discovered, Zhang Wanyi's performance on the track of forbidden love became more and more outstanding. Zhang Wanyi in "Sauvignon Blanc 2" also takes this route.
On the one hand, he is an emperor, he is ambitious, and he only cares about the country, the country, and the hegemony of the empire. In the plot, Zhang Wanyi is sitting on the throne of the emperor, with a stern look on his face. Although his face still has the greenness of a young man, his eyes already show the majesty of a king.
On the other hand, he is a humble suitor. He wants to love but cannot express it. In every moment when he wants to confess to Xiaoyao, his love grows like crazy, but he still has to pretend that his love is the love of family. .
It is this contrast of sense of immorality that makes Zhang Wanyi's Su Gan in the role of Xuanxuan so satisfying to many viewers.
Pure love comes first, uncontrollable love makes people fall
Xiang Liu, played by Tan Kenci, can be said to be the most heart-wrenching character in the plot. He values love and justice, is deep and gentle, and Xiang Liu knows that there will be no ending between him and Xiao Yao, so his love does not ask for anything in return, and he would even rather push Xiao Yao to someone else in order to make Xiao Yao happy.
In the role of Xiang Liu, the audience can feel the purest and most selfless love.
But this kind of love is full of contradictions. He can't help but fall in love with Xiaoyao. He desperately wants Xiaoyao's response, but he has no choice but to push Xiaoyao away.
is this kind of helpless, requiring actors to not only have excellent acting skills, but also have a face that can highlight the feeling of fragmentation.
Tan Kenci in the second season is still very handsome. With his white hair, he has a kind of animality and spirituality. His eyes can act like a ferocious demon king. Such a cold and demonic image makes people consciously keep a distance. , but at the same time, he also has a good understanding of Xiang Liu’s pure and clean side in love.
He is a beast and a demon. He does not understand love, does not ask for anything in return, is purer than humans, and is even extremely stubborn in "righteousness".
In the subsequent plot, Xiang Liu will die in battle, and the result of this plot further intensifies the character's sense of fragmentation. If it weren't for Tan Kenci's good looks to support his white-haired look, Xiang Liu's character would have been at least half ruined.
His divinity is hard to conceal, sincerity is the surefire skill
Actor Deng Wei can almost be said to be the new top star discovered in "Sauvignon Blanc". Before starring in "Sauvignon Blanc", his popularity was low and his reputation was not high, but "Sauvignon Blanc" After appearing in "Sauvignon Blanc", Deng Wei quickly rose to the top and became the actor who received the biggest bonus from the show.
Looking at Deng Wei’s image charm and character highlights, it’s no surprise that he would become popular.
In the traffic field, Deng Wei can be said to be the chosen idol. His face is long, with smooth lines. The distribution of his facial features is very narrow, which makes him full of gentleness, innocence and coolness.
In many scenes, Deng Wei actually exudes divinity. His perfect modeled face and cold eyes give him a sincerity that breaks his divinity and is willing to sink when he plays love. In the plot of
, Xiaoyao was avoided and rejected again and again, which made Tushanjing extremely tortured. When Tushanjing looked at Xiaoyao's back, Deng Wei's appearance advantage was magnified. Looking at his innocent eyes, No matter how simple Xiaoyao's turn is, the audience will feel sorry for Tu Shanjing.
In addition to his image advantage, Deng Wei's figure advantage is also the most eye-catching among the three male protagonists. He is 183cm tall and is not outstanding among male actors, but his body proportions are very good, with wide shoulders, narrow waist and long legs. Almost the proportions of a male model.
It is easier for an actress to look sexy with such a height, and it is also easier to show the charm of the character.
Of course, Deng Wei in the plot of "Sauvignon Blanc" is at the peak of his appearance. Deng Wei, who attended the press conference a few days ago, showed a tendency of lax body management and declining appearance. If Tu Shanjing was played in this state, it would be difficult for the audience to fully fall in love with her.
All in all, the drama "Sauvignon Blanc 2" actually does not have any breakthrough in the world view in the field of ancient puppets, and even the direction of the plot still reveals a sense of ancient routines, but this drama has already been cast since the beginning. A sure win, not only for Yang Zi 's empathetic acting performance, but also for the looks and temperament of the three male protagonists.
