" Bianshui Past Events " became popular in the industry, and the unprecedented subject matter became the most eye-catching aspect of this drama. The TV series focuses on the sight of Shen Xing ( Guo Qilin ), telling the story of Shen Xing looking for his uncle while struggling for a living under Uncle Guai.

As soon as the plot of

was launched, many viewers were shocked by Uncle Guai's domineering attitude. However, as the plot progressed, it was discovered that Uncle Guai was a ruthless person in the early stage and was a domineering business-stealer. It seemed that Uncle Guai was engaged in some dangerous industries, but the essence was A small shop owner who smuggles daily necessities.

In the early stages of the plot, Uncle Guai's strength in connections was not even as reliable as Shen Xing's ability to ask around.

At first glance, it may seem boring, but in fact, both Uncle Guai and Shen Xing are the substitute perspectives in the whole drama. The audience is not looking at them, but at the Sheriff, the drug lord and the drug lord who are dealing with them. Various local forces.

The really interesting thing is when "Three Slopes" is a social background that does not matter legal rules and breeds crime and greed everywhere. This part of the content supports the scale of the plot and also supports the plot highlights that stimulate the audience's adrenaline.

But having said that, although Shen Xing and Uncle Guai are not the ones who really support the plot of "Once Upon a Time on the Edge of Water", their perceptions in the drama are completely different.

Uncle Guai, played by Wu Zhenyu , has the domineering attitude of a local snake. As long as he speaks Cantonese, his pure boss temperament will overflow the screen. In fact, Uncle Guai has not done anything particularly explosive so far, but Wu Zhenyu's ruthless performance and the city he created are top-notch.

However, Shen Xing, played by Guo Qilin, really has a mediocre charm that is overshadowed by the supporting roles. Nowadays, "Once Upon a Time in the Bianshui" has become popular, and many actors in the drama have left the industry. Jiang Qiming, who plays Wang An'an, has been recognized again for his acting skills. Jiang Qilin, an actor who was once not very popular, also got out of the industry because of his role as Dan Tuo.

In these characters, the audience can see the feeling of conflict and struggle. Wang An is a philistine but helpless, greedy but still kind-hearted, but rough and delicate, and his interaction with Shen Xing also has the reliability of a "brother controlling".

only Guo Qilin, no matter how you look at it, you feel like you are not in the show.

One of the very important reasons is actually that Guo Qilin has the temperament of a rich second-generation Beijing person. His Beijing accent is very inconsistent in the play. Although the Golden Triangle, the prototype of the three-sided slope, has many Chinese people, this place where crime breeds is actually a gathering of ordinary low-level people.

Guo Qilin has the air of a market person, but he does not have the earthy smell of struggling in society.

Moreover, many scenes in the plot were played too loosely by Guo Qilin. The character Shen Xing is timid but not cowardly, smart but not sinister. On the contrary, he is loyal and humane, and is essentially smart and clever. upright role. He is actually a very charming character, but he was played poorly.

Guo Qilin, who plays Shen Xing in the early stage, can still explain that the character's inability to adapt after being in a foreign land and witnessing various crimes that are not found in China. But in the later period, Shen Xing, played by Guo Qilin, had already figured out the social rules here, and saw through the sophistication and cunning of the people here, but he still had a sense of stupidity and sweetness.

In the latest plot, Shen Xing has a love line. He fell in love with Liu Jincui, who had a one-night stand with him. Even though someone had warned him long ago, Liu Jincui was not a simple woman. She was engaged in a dark business, and she still had a cold heart. , but Shen Xing still fell in love.

After a one-night stand, Shen Xing sent flowers and confessed his love. Shen Xing, who had been through various dangers in the early stage, suddenly became a silly sweet man who only had eyes for women. The advancement of the plot and character stories greatly reduced Shen Xing's charm. Not only that, every time the slovenly Shen Xing and Liu Jincui are in the same frame in the plot, there is a sense of overestimation and wretchedness. This discomfort is due to the actor's appearance suitability.

70cm Guo Qilin is really a bit short in the actor field. In this drama, his height is not outstanding, his appearance is not outstanding, and he has a fleshy face, so he looks ordinary no matter how he looks.

Looking at Qixi again, she has broken through her previous image on the screen. Her bold short yellow hair and various flamboyant styles and exaggerated clothes give her a sense of being a too-girly girl. The key is that Qi Xi's body shape is very outstanding. She is on the thin side, and the bones on her face show a three-dimensional fold. With her high-end looks and a height of 174cm, even if she is acting as a Taimei, she still looks like a supermodel.

When Qi Xi and Guo Qilin are in the same frame, one of them has a high-class face, while the other has an outstanding elementary school student appearance, which makes people have no desire. In the plot of

, Liu Jincui was drunk and pulled Shen Xing to accompany him to the toilet. In the corridor of the toilet, the relationship between the two heated up. The bold Liu Jincui stepped forward and made a bang. As a result, the high heels and his height were... Higher and higher, Qi Xi in this scene had to lower her eyes to look at Guo Qilin before she could meet his little eyes.

Immediately after Liu Jincui turned around to leave, Shen Xing, who was on top, directly hugged Liu Jincui from behind. In my impression, any ambiguous plot in which a man takes the initiative to attack is full of emotions, but Guo Qilin in the picture is not high enough and his appearance is too high. There was no sense of strength, and the moment I picked up Qi Xi, it felt very difficult, even funny.

The audience can't accept Shen Xing's sudden love interest, nor can they accept the intimate scenes between 170-year-old Guo Qilin and 174-year-old Qi Xi, because Guo Qilin's appearance makes people feel without desire, and the plot wants to heighten the ambiguity. Guo Qilin was forced to perform a sense of abstinence, and the audience felt very embarrassed through the screen.

This scene, even if it was Wang Anping played by Jiang Qiming, was not so inconsistent.

To put it bluntly, Guo Qilin is indeed a talented actor with great potential, but his performance comfort zone is very limited. The role he is suitable for playing must be a more cowardly and humorous self-deprecating character. His portrayal of Shen Xing is There are some dramas and emotional lines, and Guo Qilin is even more incompetent.

Of course, although Guo Qilin's performance in "Once Upon a Time on the Edge of Water" is not good enough, this drama is still worth watching. Except for Guo Qilin, who is a bit inconsistent, the other main characters are quite eye-catching, with a high-energy plot and all the acting skills. With its shaping, "Once Upon a Time on the Edge of Water" really should have exploded to the level of "Horse" to match its own splendor.
