When it comes to the most down-to-earth type of Chinese drama, the first thing that comes to everyone’s mind may be urban drama.
As a genre that people love and hate, urban dramas can produce such well-known masterpieces as " Thirty Only ", " Walking to the Wind " and "Go Where the Wind Is".
can also bring " fireworks ", " little days ", " old guy " and other bad dramas that make the audience's blood pressure soar.
However, even if there is a mixed bag of good and bad, because urban themes are closely related to the audience's lives, there are still many new works waiting to be evaluated by the audience.
Among them, "Thirty-Nine Twenty-Eight" has attracted much attention, which is about sister-brother love + workplace + city. It brings together all the popular elements at the moment, which is very appealing to the audience.
At the same time, I did not expect the combination of Sun Li and Dong Zijian, but the two unexpectedly fit the characters very well, and they must be able to create different sparks.
It’s a pity that the show has not yet been finalized. Instead, Youku has come out with a new one.
's online love fable drama "Half Mature Couple" is expected to be launched on Youku in late August. With many familiar faces and actors in the drama, there is finally another decent urban drama to follow.
The love, hatred and resentment of adults, the story is too chewy
The story of "Half-Mature Men and Women" focuses on the current group of young people, who are looking for love and themselves in the complicated urban life, without fear of falling and failure.
Among them, the emotional He Zhinan (played by Tian Xiwei) bravely pursues love, and the rational Han Su (played by Zhou Yutong) seeks for life. The plot starts a discussion about growth based on the two people's different attitudes towards love and life.
Adult relationships are full of interest entanglements, and the love between men and women has never been smooth. They regard love as a battlefield, mixing sincerity with falsehood, and maintain a high degree of vigilance to prevent themselves from sinking.
The lens of this new drama boldly focuses on the love battlefield of adults. Two major highlights make people immersed in it.
First, it still holds the scale of a pipa half-covering the face.
Since it is about the emotional confrontation between adults, the scale must be relaxed.
Temptation, seduction, drama, confusion and infatuation. In the seemingly calm communication, there are actually hidden secrets.
Lies, desires, bar swaying, releasing nature, under the dancing body is the restless soul of adults.
"Do you have a new boyfriend?"
The trailer does not show too many large-scale shots, but every frame is extremely suspenseful, and every line has countless meanings hidden.
Different from many suspended idol dramas, the biggest feature of the love drama in this drama is that it combines urban men and women with reality.
's seemingly exaggerated plot is full of shadows of reality. It not only shows the power of love, but also explores the emotional dilemmas and choices faced by modern urbanites, allowing the audience to gain a sense of satisfaction while watching the drama.
Second, the extremely flamboyant portrayal of human nature.
In the past urban dramas, the depiction of complex human nature mostly occurred in the workplace or family life.
"Half-Mature Men and Women" vividly displays the intrigues and intrigues between urban men and women in their relationships.
The story divides these adults into two "factions", one seeking love and the other making a living. They deceive, betray, and play hard to get. In the challenge of love and life, everyone tries their best.
It can be said that "Half-Mature Man and Woman" is like a large-scale werewolf killing. Everyone plays a different role and "hunts" while hiding their identity. It is really exciting.
All members are powerful
An urban drama with love as the theme, the audience is naturally mainly young viewers.
The casting in "Half Mature Couple" is very careful. The actors that the audience likes are gathered together. Among them, these five are the ones I am most looking forward to.
ranked first, Zhou Yutong.
As a "leader" in terms of appearance and acting skills among young actors, Zhou Yutong has always had a good reputation.
Zhao Jian in "The Young People of the Song Dynasty", Qiao Xichen in "I'm Very Good in a Foreign Country", Liang You'an in " Love Is Only ", Zhou Yutong has created many wonderful characters for the audience.
This time in the new drama, Zhou Yutong incarnates Han Su, who makes a rational living.
However, even the most rational people will inevitably be emotionally constrained. In the trailer, Zhou Yutong faces the mirror with a sad and helpless face. Although he has been prepared for it for a long time, he still feels deeply powerless.
The character played by Zhou Yutong is most indispensable for "territory spirit". It seems that she will create a character that is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people this time.
is second, Dong Jie.
Actress Dong Jie is very powerful and has given wonderful performances in dramas such as "金粉世家", "白鹿plain", and "Imperfect Victim".
Her acting skills are stable, and every role has a charm that is not inferior to the protagonist. This is the confidence of a powerful actor.
In the drama, she will continue to challenge the types of roles she is good at, playing the beautiful and intellectual Zeng Cheng. In the trailer of
, she is sitting in the middle of the crowd, with a glamorous aura of "killing everyone". She can't wait to see Dong Jie's acting scene.
The third place is Tian Xiwei.
Tian Xiwei, a talented little flower, looks sweet and cute. In recent years, she has performed well in costume dramas such as "Everyday Life" and "Tian Geng Ji".
In the new drama, she will subvert her image of a "sweet girl" and play the role of He Zhinan, who is extremely emotional and constantly wandering in love.
How should Tian Xiwei, a complex character like this, be presented? Looking forward to her performance in the feature film.
ranked fourth, Xin Yunlai.
In " and Feng Xing ", Mo Fang, played by Xin Yunlai, was criticized by the audience for his ancient costume style that stretched his hips.
However, Xin Yunlai, who has returned to urban dramas, plays Qu Yipeng in "Half-Mature Man and Woman", who looks handsome and handsome, with the sun shining on his body, giving him a rather youthful air.
Xin Yunlai, who is making makeup online this time, will definitely bring a different and exciting experience to the audience. We will wait and see.
fifth place, Yuan Wenkang.
Yuan Wenkang, a powerful figure in the Mesozoic era, has shown strong strength in dramas such as "The Salt Merchant of the Qing Dynasty", " Asking the Heart ", and "Flowers". His acting skills are solid and he can perfectly handle any role.
In the new drama, he plays the role of Zhou Bin. I believe that this time he can also become a bright spot in the new drama.
In addition, Zhang Zhehua, Zeng Mengxue, Chen Haosen and other actors will play important roles in the drama. This urban emotional drama is really exciting.
Conclusion
Urban dramas can actually cover a wide range of content, such as workplace, marriage, and women. Every topic is close to the lives of the audience. As long as the filming is good, it can easily become a big hit.
But it is not difficult to see that the reason why urban dramas did not win the favor of the audience this year is because the content is too suspended and the ungrounded stories are difficult for people to resonate with.
With domestic urban dramas being filmed one after another, can "Half Mature Couple" achieve another great success?
depends on whether it can break out of the routine.
This new drama chooses an adult view of emotions and focuses the plot directly on urban emotions.
does not involve the bloody family life or the anxiety-provoking workplace. The subject matter itself is innovative. As long as the plot is reasonable and consistent with realistic logic, it will not be a problem to capture the hearts of the audience.
So, are you looking forward to the release of this drama?
