As we all know, urban workplace dramas are the most popular type.
From the earlier " Du Lala's Promotion " and " Ode to Joy " to the recent "Ideal City", " Settling Down ", " Going to the Wind ", etc., Each one has a firm grip on the audience's remote control and has become a ratings hit.
However, this year’s urban workplace drama has become the most “unpopular” genre.
's cookie-cutter plot routines, cloaked in the skin of the urban workplace and painted with the bones of idol dramas, made the audience tired of watching workplace tyrants.
Especially the highly anticipated dramas such as "The Story of Cheng Huan" and "You Are More Beautiful than the Starlight" aired this year, without exception, all of them were rushed.
Is this all workplace drama?
Don't worry, the drama is on the way.
No, the workplace drama " is dark " was recommended by CCTV. This card is a sure sign of "dark horse".
After watching the trailer, I sighed repeatedly. This is definitely the only workplace drama I want to follow after "Ideal City"!
Working men and women under the night carnival
"The Night Is Dark" is adapted from the original novel "Sales Couple" by You Er. It tells the story of Zhao Mei (played by Jiang Shuying), Li Dongming (played by Tong Dawei) and other white-collar workers in the industry, who are achieving great results. While building your own career, you face different tempting choices.
Harassment, deception, humiliation, control, all kinds of real-life problems swarmed in. Under this feast, everyone can see clearly the complexity of human nature.
Generally, when we watch workplace dramas, the story unfolds through the daily work of the protagonist, but "Dark Night" is different. The workplace drama makes it play the role of a spy drama.
Combined with the trailer, this new drama brought me two major surprises.
The first big surprise: the scale exceeds the standard.
A grand banquet ended. Zhao Mei was obviously drunk, and she grabbed the arm of the person opposite her while feeling dizzy.
The camera switches, and I don’t know which young man and woman are talking frankly to each other, their bathrobes fall to the ground, and there is a lot of ambiguity.
As the camera continues to switch, men and women of all colors are engaged in emotional tension, hugging, kissing, and taking the initiative. Who is the real protagonist of this drama, and who is the one who dominates each other's feelings?
Some viewers may ask: Is this a workplace drama?
By the way, this is really a workplace drama.
The lights are on, the night is dark, "ghosts are everywhere", hidden rules, psychological games, temptations, derailments, who is the final winner? Who is the "manipulator" behind this?
In "The Night Is Dark", the audience can see all kinds of people, within the scope of the rules, using all means and "making ugly appearances" to separate the dangers of the workplace and the diversity of human nature, and present them to everyone.
I’m so brave to take photos.
The second biggest surprise: it’s too realistic.
In the new drama, everyone seems to be sincere, but they all have a heart that puts interests first.
People die for money and birds die for food. They scramble to negotiate and try their best to gain a foothold in the workplace.
Driven by interests, it is difficult to ensure that some people do not make mistakes.
Intimidation, inducement, abuse, and control, all seem far away from the audience, but in fact, stories that are happening all the time in reality appear in the play.
Quarrels, fights, betrayal, collapse, when the workplace is linked to emotions, how can there be so many "pure love warriors" charging for love.
It can be said that the drama "The Darkness of Night" is large enough in scale and realistic in content. The plot of
is like a spy drama, full of mysteries, confrontations, trials, and all kinds of "workers", bringing the audience a different workplace life.
All the members are old acquaintances, and their acting skills are guaranteed
Whether a workplace drama is good or not, in addition to the plot, the acting skills of the actors are also an important part.
There is a big difference whether an actor is playing a professional elite or integrating into life. The cast of "It's Dark" can be summed up in one word, absolutely!
ranks first, Tong Dawei.
This year's Tong Dawei can be said to have a "successful career". After a long silence, he made a beautiful "turnaround" with the role of Huang Zhenhua in "The Story of Rose".
In the suspense drama " misplaced ", his character Gu Jiming also vividly displayed the complexity of human nature.
In the new drama, Tong Dawei becomes a professional elite, but this character seems to be a "scumbag"? In the
trailer, his character Li Dongming pointed fiercely at the female employee with an open collar opposite him, his eyes full of threats, and his cold aura was chilling.
Tong Dawei's acting skills are superb. Whether he is a good-natured "husband" or a shrewd and calculating villain, he can give the character enough tension.
believes that his performance in the new drama will once again shock the audience.
ranked second, Wang Zhifei.
National first-class actor Wang Zhifei is recognized as a capable actor. The most impressive role is "Gao Mingyuan" in " Anti-Crime Storm ". As a villain, he exudes a sense of calmness all over his body. The aura of self-respect.
's every look is full of tension, and he captures the character's ruthless, suspicious, and unscrupulous characteristics so well that even the supporting role has a reputation that is not inferior to that of Sun Honglei and others.
Although I don’t know what role Wang Zhifei will play in the new drama, but with him in the new drama, the acting skills in the new drama are stable.
The third place is Lan Yingying.
Lan Yingying has also reached the peak of her career this year. The passionate Guan Zhizhi in "The Story of the Rose" and the mentally sensitive Su Zhenzhen in "Dislocation". Lan Yingying can easily grasp the essence of each role.
In the new drama "The Night Is Deep", Lan Yingying plays the role of Liang Danning. In the
trailer, she looks cool and noble, bright and generous, and with her exquisite makeup, she exudes a "queen"-like aura.
With Lan Yingying’s strength, it seems that she will create another classic role.
ranked fourth, Jiang Shuying.
Jiang Shuying, who was nominated for the Golden Eagle Award for her role as Wang Manni in " Thirty Only ", has contributed outstanding performances in dramas such as "Sweeping the Dark" and " Ms. ", although she is not as popular. High, but its strength cannot be underestimated.
In the new drama, Zhao Mei, played by Jiang Shuying, has something in common with Wang Manni. This is because she has fallen into Jiang Shuying's comfort zone. I look forward to her wonderful performance in the drama.
fifth place, Ke Lan.
After watching Ke Lan, she has shown great strength in dramas such as "In the Name of the People", "Twenty Not Confused", "The Wind Blowing Pinellia", etc. Her performance is comprehensive, relaxed and individual.
In the new drama, Ke Lan will play the role of Qi Youlan. In the stills, she has exquisite makeup and looks like a big boss. It seems that she is in for a good show.
It is worth mentioning that there are many actors such as Kan Qingzi, Wang Yaoqing, Zhang Chao, Wang Jianxin joining in the play. The strong lineup gives the audience a powerful reassurance, and the characters are absolutely wonderful.
Conclusion
Audiences love to watch workplace dramas, firstly, they must be real and secondly, they must have a sense of resonance.
Only the working life of ordinary people can resonate with young people in different growth environments, working environments, and living environments.
The new drama "The Darkness of Night" not only outlines the living conditions of "migrant workers" with different personalities in the workplace, but also shows the human characteristics of different people to the extreme.
Under a feast and carnival, seven people, seven thoughts, those who pretended to be asleep were forcibly awakened, and everyone faced the coming crisis together.
The story is novel and unconventional, with profound connotations and a strong core. The cast is even more rare and luxurious. It would be a pity not to follow such an excellent workplace drama.
So, are you looking forward to the arrival of this drama?
