Here at CCTV, there is no such thing as a boring subject!

Urban dramas have lacked competitiveness in the past two years, mainly because the content has no empathy, is too suspended, and cannot capture the lives of ordinary people.

But right now, CCTV actually used a film "Mortal Song" to tell the audience that urban dramas can also be down-to-earth. The key lies in how the creators shoot them.

Jian Chuanxi, the gold medal director of Noon Sunshine, is indeed not simple. He arranged three typical couples for the plot, so that the audience can relate to their own lives through the characters.

At the same time, the presentation of content such as full-time housewives, involution topics, and mid-life crisis also directly hits the pain points, bringing all aspects of life problems to the table, which is so real that people cannot believe it.

However, actors are also crucial to being able to carry such a big drama.

The most surprising thing is Wang Xiao. His acting skills are obvious to the audience, but he has always played small roles before. This time he finally got the male lead position, and it is quite enjoyable to act in the drama.

01 Explosive acting skills, Wang Xiao deserves

In fact, in many dramas, the audience has felt how well Wang Xiao interprets ordinary people, but there is no drama that gives him 100% room to perform.

No, in the new drama, he directly transforms into the male lead, playing Na Wei, a man in mid-life crisis, very realistically.

To be honest, at first when I saw Wang Xiao wearing a suit and leather shoes to go to work, I thought he was such a successful and successful person.

In fact, Na Wei is the kind of person who is neither good nor bad.

Even though he is a small executive in the company, he is still being pressured by the leaders above, and he also has to be responsible for a group of employees below. It is simply a dilemma.

When he watched his old colleague being fired, he couldn't help but had to bear the other party's anger, which made him a proper "big wronged" persona.

But this is just the tip of the iceberg. Because the company boss is not a good person, Na Wei becomes a scapegoat and owes a lot of debt overnight.

During the process of following the drama, the audience can clearly feel that the male protagonist is gradually becoming tired and haggard, as if he is carrying a big mountain on his shoulders and is unable to move even an inch.

Stop talking about him, the audience feels that this life is so suffocating.

So Na Wei's collapse is not unreasonable, but he can't get angry at his leaders and outsiders, and will only save his temper for those closest to him.

In fact, the scene where the male protagonist and the female protagonist quarrel made many viewers feel the same way.

No matter how much Na Wei loves his wife, in his heart he still dislikes her because she can't help and doesn't go out to work to make money.

When his temper got the better of him, he even bluntly said that his wife, children and everyone else were "parasites", as if the whole world owed him money.

There may be many viewers who feel that the great character has collapsed.

But I think viewers who have been married know how realistic Wang Xiao's acting is. This is human nature. In the face of poverty, it is impossible to hide one's ugly face.

Of course, after calming down, Na Wei still knew what was good and what was bad, so he hurriedly took his daughter and son out to find his wife.

When I didn’t have children, I didn’t know that it was so troublesome to go out. The male protagonist in this scene seemed to have aged ten years in an instant. He was in such a miserable state and felt a little inexplicable joy.

As expected, only Wang Xiao can play this typical middle-aged man image realistically and not annoying.

And from now on, there will be another strong player on the track of cowardly characters.

02 The unique "second generation star"

I think there are still many viewers who don't know that Wang Xiao is also a second generation star. His mother is the movie queen Wang Fuli, and his father is a stage director, which is equivalent to being born in a An artistic family.

However, Wang Xiao’s parents did not agree with him taking the path of acting at first, so he went abroad to study three-dimensional animation for 6 years and also received a master’s degree in business administration.

Yes, Wang Xiao is not a professional actor, he just chose to come to the entertainment industry because he has an acting dream.

Originally, he should have been able to win many male protagonist scripts with the resources of his parents, but since Wang Xiao entered the entertainment industry, he has been playing small characters, struggling hard, and relying on his acting skills to become famous.

In other words, Wang Xiao’s ability to reach where he is today is entirely due to his personal strength.

At the same time, he also has a clear understanding of what kind of role he is suitable for.

Wang Xiao’s appearance is not related to the boss or handsome guy type characters at all, so he basically interprets some lovable, shrewd and sophisticated characters. Not only can he be down-to-earth, but he can also add some personal filters to himself. mirror.

Supporting roles such as Siming Xingjun in "Three Lives Three Worlds", Yang Ke in "Golden Years", and Sun Zhijun in "With You in This Life" all have unique charms under Wang Xiao's interpretation.

A good actor will never be buried. Wang Xiao, who relied on small roles to get out of the industry, finally has his own male lead drama.

In addition, as we all know, if Noon Sunshine can use an actor smoothly, it will often use this actor. I think Wang Xiao's acting career will get better and better in the future.

It’s just that there is no parental intervention behind this achievement, only the hard work of an ordinary actor.

In fact, Wang Xiao once said something in an interview:

"No matter what achievements this person's parents have achieved, or what kind of road their parents have paved for him, when the real camera rolls, it still depends on this The child can act on his own, and whether he performs well or not is all his own ability. "

From this sentence, we can know that he knows that the "Second Generation Star" halo can gain temporary fame, but it cannot protect him for a lifetime. Only by performing down-to-earth and constantly improving your abilities can you go further.

With this alone, he has completely outshined some second-generation stars who only rely on resources but have no strength.

03 Conclusion

The drama "Mortal Song" not only brought the lives of ordinary people to the camera, making the audience feel strong resonance with the plot and characters, but also gave Wang Xiao a real stage to display his strength.

His acting skills in the drama are very outstanding, even Yin Tao had to accept his defeat after watching the show.

At the same time, Wang Xiao has also completely torn off the label of "Second Generation Star". Many viewers today may not know his parents, but they all remember the role played by Wang Xiao. This is his greatness.

As an actor, only by letting go of his halo and performing down-to-earth can he win the favor of the audience. I believe Wang Xiao can bring more outstanding works to the audience in the future.

The drama is still being aired. What do you think of Wang Xiao’s performance in the drama?
