"Prosecutor of the Nine Departments" attracted many netizens as soon as it was launched because of the configuration of Zhang translated + Qin Lan . Although this drama is positioned as a mainstream drama, in fact, the choice of the main line of the case is complicated and full of suspense.
In addition to the foreshadowing surrounding the male protagonist Lei Xu (played by Zhang Yi), the various minor cases he took over after being transferred to the ninth department have successfully aroused the audience's appetite.
The truth about Jiang Xiaojie running away from home and the abnormalities displayed by the neighbor boy make the main plot more attractive.
As for the scale, "Prosecutor of the Nine Departments" did focus on real problems, such as bars and Internet cafes open to minors, and even unscrupulous plastic surgery hospitals that guide minors to take loans for plastic surgery.
and so on, all illegal industries targeting minors are shocking.
However, the reason why "Prosecutor Nine" can have a sense of reality and immersion is inseparable from the casting. Powerful actors such as Zhang Yi, Qin Lan, Xu Fan supported the quality of the performance. The young actors who played underage girls in the play also performed a performance that made the audience feel heart-wrenching and empathic.
The new generation of young actors takes the lead and performs well.
The young actor Jia Xiaohan who plays Jiang Xiaojie is a young actor in 2006. Now she has just turned 18 years old. She still has the childishness of a girl on her face. She appears in film and television dramas wearing a school uniform. At that time, he looked like a teenage middle school student.
In the play, no matter how close the close-up is, Jia Xiaohan's skin is fair and pink, and she has girlish skin. She doesn't even need makeup or filters, and she is almost without makeup, showing off her girlishness.
In the plot, Jiang Xiaojieâs family has a good material level, but her parents are busy with work and have little sense of involvement in Jiang Xiaojieâs life. It is precisely because of this that Jiang Xiaojie gradually developed psychological problems.
Under her childish face, the audience can always see the helplessness and disappointment of a girl who longs for family affection, but understands that everything is in vain.
Her eyes turned red when she saw her, and the audience also felt sour. In addition to Jia Xiaohan, another girl Zhang Yunyun played by actor Rong Yi also had a strong sense of empathy.
Actor Rong Yi is also an 18-year-old new generation actor. This is not the first time Rong Yi has tried acting, but the audience still has a deep memory of her.
She doesnât have many roles in the role of Zhang Yunyun, but she looks like an ordinary girl in her school days. She has the appearance of a girl, and she also suffered from appearance anxiety because of her narrow single eyelids. Because her appearance was not good enough, Zhang Yunyun was subjected to campus violence in school.
She also suffered endless torture due to campus life. But even so, the audience can still see the charm of the girl through the lens.
She is immature and innocent, like a hard-working and tenacious grass under the heavy pressure of life. The personality of the character itself is very eye-catching, and the girlish feeling of the actor who does not need filters or dress-up is the key to achieving the role.
It can be seen from the scenes of these young actors that girlishness is really not something that can be performed, and girls should be used to act in girly scenes.
No matter how heavy the makeup is, it canât look girly.
Many film and television dramas nowadays are obsessed with using actors who are already popular to build momentum. However, most heroines who follow the idol drama route are set to be teenage girls, especially those in the ancient puppet and fairy tales, where 16 is the average age.
But the character is set to be a girl, but the actors portraying the girls are generally between the ages of 25-40.
In the TV series "The Great Ming Dynasty", Jing Tian is playing the role of an eccentric girl at the age of 36. The microdermabrasion filter made her skin look like tofu, and the free blush was applied crazily around the eyes and cheeks.
Jing Tian is indeed beautiful, but her age cannot be hidden. The fine lines when making big expressions and the obvious sagging face at certain angles all reveal her true age.
Itâs not that the audience has too high demands on actors, itâs that some actors are really overconfident in their visual age.
In the period drama "Riding the Wind and Waves", 37-year-old Yang Zishan wore two braids and began to play the role of a girl who has just been admitted to college. The camera focused on her face. The crow's feet were obvious and the nasolabial folds were difficult to hide. Even if the image of the actor in the period drama was simpler, Yang Zishan had nothing to do with the word girl.
It is also a period drama. In " Our Days ", Li Xiaoran plays the role of a young daughter-in-law. In the drama, Li Xiaoran also wears two little tweets and pouts at every turn and acts coquettishly. However, Li Xiaoran in the camera , the complexion is dull, the dark circles and large bags under the eyes are bigger than the eyes together.
Her cute little expressions end up looking like she's trying too hard. The mismatch between the actor's visual age and the character's age setting is the reason why the audience is dissuaded.
"Love for a Long Time" tells the story of three or five friends from school days to adulthood. The career line is still reasonable, but when it comes to the memories of the student days, Yang Zi 's face can no longer hold up.
Although the actor tried hard to capture the quirky, lively and bright side of the girl, Yang Zi smiled widely and showed two brackets and nasolabial folds. She was really aunty and did not look like a student at all.
To put it bluntly, in the casting of some film and television dramas, the actor's popularity and celebrity status are considered, but the actor's status and suitability between the actor and the role are not considered.
Comparing the above failed castings, some actors are very sober. In "The Prosecutor of Nine Parts", neither Qin Lan nor Xu Fan has any of the beauty baggage of actresses.
Qin Lan has never tried a girl-type role in these years. She is either an urban beauty or a professional elite. This time in "Prosecutor of Nine Parts", she plays the role of a prosecutor who has been in the industry for more than ten years. She is seen in the camera Aging problems such as fine lines and nasolabial folds will also occur, but combined with the age and setting of the character, there is no drama at all.
As for Xu Fan at this age, he relies entirely on his acting skills. In the play, she does not have exquisite makeup and does not need help from post-production. She shows the dullness of her skin and the unconcealable sense of age in front of the camera.
Xu Fan is indeed older than she was when she was a girl, but now she is still creating eye-catching characters.
Perhaps for most actresses, accepting one's own aging is a lesson that must be experienced. Not only that, but the selection of young actors in "Prosecutor Nine" also shows that the standards for casting in domestic entertainment really need to be changed.
Suitability is really more important than popularity and traffic. I hope domestic entertainment film and television drama directors will learn how to film scenes involving girls in "The Prosecutor of the Nine Parts".
