When evaluating an actor's acting skills, it is never about his rank.

What should you look for when evaluating acting skills? One universal criterion: lines.

Among domestic actors with good dialogues, Wang Jinsong can be ranked first. This national first-class actor once criticized some actors for even memorizing lines as a show off, and he himself once said it in the Anti-Japanese War drama "Leaning on the Railing, the Storm Rises" It was a 17-minute long line, which was average for a drama, but Wang Jinsong delivered this line in a soul-stirring way. After the performance, the filming scene burst into applause.

But when Wang Jinsong was interviewed, he highly praised an actor's lines:

"Teacher Wang Zhiwen's plays can be heard with your ears. You don't need to look at you. You can feel his movements, his behavior, and his rhythm just by listening. .”

Wang Zhiwen was definitely the number one brother in Chinese dramas 20 years ago.

had countless masterpieces during his peak period. Many people say that his masterpieces include "Tiandao", "Black Ice" and "Enjoyable". But it ignored a classic anti-special drama, "Tracking Without Regrets", which was rated 9.4 on Douban.

The number one comment on Douban short review wrote, "This is a New China chronicle "Historical Records", this is a Hutong version of "Teahouse"."

"The performance is exquisite." ”

But because of his mother’s illness, Wang Zhiwen later Proactively reduce workload.

Many people didn’t understand why he quit. Wang Zhiwen calmly responded: "There is no end to the work."

In these years, Wang Zhiwen has not done variety shows, not accepted advertisements, and has not been good at food. He has been almost half-hidden. status.

Although he is still taking roles, in the domestic entertainment and film industry where competition is fierce, Wang Zhiwen never competes for this.

Most of his works over the years have been supporting roles.

Such as "Rebel" and "Infernal Affairs".

But Wang Zhiwen’s skill is that even if he plays a supporting role, even if he doesn’t have many roles, his performance can still be dazzling every time.

In the 39th episode of CCTV's anti-super drama "Dark Night and Dawn", which aired last night, he once again brought his acting skills to the extreme.

The series brings together young actors such as Chen Zheyuan, Xing Fei, as well as powerful actors such as Wang Jinsong, who highly respects him, Uncle Tai from "Cyclone", Lao Mo, and Tang Xiaohu.

Weng Liangping, who wrote the script, is the screenwriter of "The Storm Chaser" and "Ask the Cangmang".

And Wang Zhiwen is the "special starring".

The series easily broke the 2 number soon after its launch. In the end, the premiere ratings not only ranked first in the country, but also scored a high rating of 1.9%. It was an amazing start.

What many people are looking forward to most is Wang Zhiwen’s performance.

As the main villain of the show, Wang Zhiwen only showed his face 30 minutes after the first episode. In the first scene, he faced Wang Jinsong. The audience commented on this scene: It was like listening to fairy music, and the ears were suddenly bright.

In the first three episodes of , his scenes totaled only 5 scenes, and the total duration was no more than 10 minutes.

Compared with the two protagonists Chen Zheyuan and Nie Yuan, there are a lot of eye-catching action scenes.

Almost all of Wang Zhiwen's plays are indoor plays, either making fish or painting propaganda posters, but these cannot cover up Wang Zhiwen's brilliance.

He is still the undisputed god of acting in that Chinese drama.

After watching three episodes, I dare to say that after Feng Jingbo, the latent person who was a primary school history teacher in "No Regrets", Zheng Lanting, the primary school art teacher in "Dark Night and Dawn", will most likely become a domestic anti-special drama. , another classic character.

1 The three dangerous moves of the anti-special drama

To understand what is so good about Wang Zhiwen’s acting skills in the drama, we must first clarify the anti-special spy drama "Dark Night and Dawn".

The writer and director was obviously not satisfied with making a mediocre spy drama, but bravely made a "three dangerous moves".

The first dangerous move is a drama about the battle of wits between police and spies in the setting of the anti-special drama "The enemy is in darkness and we are in the light".

This drama tells the story of the first generation of police officers in New China who fought bravely against enemy agents to protect the country and the people.

opens in Shanghai on the eve of liberation. Before the Secrecy Bureau fled, they left behind a whole team of spies, lurking in Shanghai waiting for opportunities to sabotage.

Lu Zhengyang, the backbone of the Shanghai Public Security Bureau, Lin Shaobai, who activated "Shanghai Know-How", started a contest with Zheng Lanting, a veteran spy hiding in the dark.

We and the enemy are fighting both wits and courage.

For example, in the vault robbery at the beginning, Zheng Lanting sent Lao Mo, ah no, it was his general Wang Liqun who disguised himself as the People's Liberation Army, entered the vault, killed 20 bank personnel indiscriminately, and then opened the vault and looted all the gold. to reduce the funds for espionage activities.

Behind this, Zheng Lanting, a primary school teacher, used step-by-step speech techniques to induce the principal, and successfully guided his primary school to express condolences to the People's Liberation Army garrison near the bank, buying time for the enemy's actions.

For new viewers who are not familiar with anti-special dramas, they will feel that they have won. What kind of disturbance can a few small spies stir up?

This is certainly a risky move.

The second risky move is an extremely complex relationship between characters.

Traditional spy war dramas generally only set up the enemy and ourselves. It is relatively clear who is ours and who is the enemy.

For example, Zhou Yi and Gao Bin in "Cliff", Yu Zecheng and Li Ya in "Latent", Wei Ruolai and Shen Tunan in "The Storm Chaser".

The clear black and white setting makes it easier for the audience to understand the plot, but for an anti-special drama, it is not enough to present the complexity and twists and turns of the anti-special struggle in the early days of liberation.

The story background of "Dark Night and Dawn" is Shanghai in the early days of liberation.

Not only is the Secrecy Bureau secretly laying out the plan, but all parties are also still planning, staging open and covert struggles.

This drama reflects the situation at that time very well. At least four forces were introduced in the drama.

One side is the enemy agents left behind by the Secrecy Bureau. Some of them have been awakened, such as Zheng Lanting played by Wang Zhiwen. Some have not yet been awakened.

The second is the remnants of local gangs in Shanghai, or the forces that have secretly collaborated with enemy agents, such as the local gang led by Dai Yueqing played by Wen Zhengrong , and the big businessman played by Ni Dahong.

The third is a large number of old police officers. Some of them, like the male protagonist Lin Shaobai, joined the first batch of public security teams in New China, but some, like Lin Shaobai's good friend Xu Wei, were used by enemy agents like Zheng Lanting.

Finally, there are the first batch of police officers in New China played by Nie Yuan and Chen Zheyuan.

When the four forces are introduced, the relationship between the characters in the entire drama will become "tangled".

There is a sense of suspense, but it also requires the new generation of viewers who are accustomed to watching dramas at double speed not to get distracted, which is also a dangerous move.

The third risky move is the villain’s perspective.

Traditional spy dramas usually have one main perspective, which is the perspective of the protagonist, such as Yu Zecheng in "Insidious" and Guiziliu in "Kite". The audience can follow their perspective into the story. The audience knows what the enemy did from the protagonist's reaction.

But "Dark Night and Dawn" adds a narrative perspective, that is, the villain's perspective.

In the past, there were very few spy war dramas that talked about the personnel appointment issues within the villain camp.

However, "Night and Dawn" was able to use a few minutes to shoot a scene in which former Shanghai Police Chief Mao Sen went to Zheng Lanting's home to persuade him to come out.

The audience can also see the process of Zheng Lanting planning a gold robbery, including personnel preparation, time control, containment of our People's Liberation Army garrison, etc.

This is something rarely seen in spy dramas in the past.

Anti-special dramas have always had the tradition of focusing on creating villains. Since we are catching a spy, we must of course find out who the spy is.

However, the risk of filming this way is that it will distract the highlight of the protagonist group to a certain extent. It may be related to the fact that domestic anti-special dramas in the past thirty years have been difficult to produce hits.

This is still a risky move.

After completing the three dangerous moves, the audience also has a preliminary impression of this drama.

It’s time for Wang Zhiwen to appear. When he appears, the texture of the whole drama will be different.

2, Wang Zhiwen's Three Good Shows

Zheng Lanting, played by Wang Zhiwen, has a hidden identity as an art teacher. He has a gentle and gentle image, harmless to humans and animals, and always smiles to everyone.

Secretly, he is actually a high-ranking business enemy agent code-named "Shrike" lurking in Shanghai. He has a kind of hidden terror.

On the streets painted with red propaganda posters, the People's Army kept passing by. He was not afraid at all and continued to paint them slowly.

Although he has only acted in three episodes, Wang Zhiwen has already contributed three good scenes, each of which is related to fish.

Top-notch acting, not a single scene is wasted.

Let’s first watch Wang Zhiwen’s first “fishing” scene.

When Zheng Lanting appeared, he was making braised sweet and sour fish.

shows the audience a silhouette, everyday and leisurely.

He found that the candy was gone, so he called the female agent played by Wang Xiuzhu to get him candy.

Mao Sen, played by Wang Jinsong, happened to enter the room, took the candy and handed it to Zheng Lanting in the kitchen.

Zheng Lanting pretended to be surprised and said: Mr. Bureau, why are you here?

is a very simple line, and Wang Zhiwen said it wonderfully.

said it as if he was surprised, but there was an obvious performance in his movements and expressions, which was performed by Zheng Lanting for Mao Sen.

In fact, Zheng Lanting not only guessed that Mao Sen was coming, but also had already thought about what he wanted to talk to him about.

So after Mao Sen left, Wang Xiuzhu asked: Is the negotiation concluded?

This scene in which Wang Zhiwen cooks a fish can be included in Beijing Film Academy's acting textbooks. It is simply wonderful.

Firstly, it can demonstrate what a rival play is, and secondly, it can demonstrate what kind of performance it is without saying anything, without a line, it is all subtext. The audience can understand what both parties are actually saying.

In this scene, Zheng Lanting kept doing fish and basically didn't look up at Mao Sen. Wang Jinsong kept talking to himself and nodded after finishing speaking.

But have you noticed the bags under his eyes? They are full of drama.

The camera focused on Wang Zhiwen’s side face. Zheng Lanting was cooking fish while talking to Mao Sen. Mao Sen wanted Zheng Lanting, who had been hidden for a long time, to come out, and first pretended to ask him who was suitable to be the person in charge of lurking in Shanghai.

Zheng Lanting said a lot of things that he didn’t mean, and Mao Sen denied them all.

In the end, I couldn’t bear it anymore and jumped right out to the topic, which was to ask Zheng Lanting to come out.

Zheng Lanting kept holding it, just waiting for him to speak. If he spoke first, he would be passive. As a fish, you can't be in a hurry.

Then there was another push and pull. Mao Sen first talked about a cliché when the party and state employ people, but Zheng Lanting did not move at all.

At this time, Wang Jinsong's expression was obviously anxious, and his expression was full of flattery. Finally, he couldn't hold it back and began to appoint officials and make wishes,

But Zheng Lanting remained motionless, saying that he didn't care about the false reputation.

Mao Sen said you can make any requests.

Zheng Lanting said, I’m not welcome, please bring me the spoon.

Wang Jinsong's expression was about to collapse. Finally, he came closer and said: Lan Ting, do you want the list of Shanghai latent agents in my hand?

At this time, Wang Zhiwen raised his eyelids slightly, and the audience understood what Zheng Lanting was waiting for?

Mao Sen said that he had to apply for this. Zheng Lanting said that he understood, and also said that doing things is like making fish. Without people, it won’t work.

finally smiled and said: This fish is ready.

The wonderful thing about this scene is that both people know it clearly, but they are talking about another thing. The whole conversation can be called a high-energy gathering of "minds and ears".

Zheng Lanting uses fish as a metaphor in every sentence. Wang Zhiwen's performance is always impressive.

On the surface, the two of them were chatting away, but in fact, they felt oppressive like the crashing waves on the shore, one wave after another.

At the end, Zheng Lanting invited Mao Sen to stay for a fish and a drink. Mao Sen said, "This fish has too many spines to swallow." The audience felt like they had goosebumps.

Wang Zhiwen had almost no trembling changes in his facial muscles throughout the whole process, until Mao Sen finally "incidentally" mentioned a trump card he held in his hand during the Anti-Japanese War, and his expression suddenly became solemn.

The acting tension at that moment made me ecstasy.

The two talented actors are always quiet, but they can turn the tangible into the intangible. Only with very accurate and thoughtful performances can they have the ability to draw the audience in.

Mao Senyu did not eat, but the audience enjoyed a feast of acting skills.

Let’s watch Wang Zhiwen’s second “fish soup” scene again.

Mao Sen was honest with Zheng Lanting on the surface, but in fact he was not at ease, leaving Secretary Liu, played by Tian Hao, to monitor his every move.

Secretary Liu thought he had everything under control. He said, "Fight me, be smart." He opened the door of the surveillance room, and it was Zheng Lanting who was sitting inside.

At this time, a smile appeared on Wang Zhiwen's face. This look alone can make people tremble with fear.

Pay attention to the eyes of Wang Zhiwen and Tian Hao. One is a dead pig and is not afraid of boiling water, and the other is calm and calm under control.

Although Zheng Lanting always looks smiling, the look in his eyes is enough to eat a pot.

The magic touch of this drama is two details. First, Zheng Lanting calls Mao Sen, who has changed from a bureau seat to a boss.

He also asked Liu to bring Mao Sen a jar of tea from his hometown, wishing the boss good luck and good fortune.

What is worth noting is that at the end Wang Zhiwen looked back and smiled, three points of ridicule, three points of self-reliance, three points of threat, and a hint of teasing.

The subtext of this smile is the shock of Wang Zhiwen’s acting skills to us.

Don’t worry, let’s watch Wang Zhiwen’s third “fishing” scene again.

This is the scene where he led the students to hold back our People's Liberation Army garrison.

The camera, smile, and affability hide the inner planning and calculation.

During the condolences, Zheng Lanting was smiling like a spring breeze, but secretly he was planning a big conspiracy. Every look and every smile was full of calculation and government, as if he was completing a fishing trip.

Wang Zhiwen performed well in two places, one in terms of identity and the other in terms of status.

In terms of identity, he has been taking pictures, and the camera keeps covering his face. He always hides behind the camera. This is actually a metaphor: he is the one who controls everything behind the scenes.

From the very beginning, he encouraged the children to get close to the People's Liberation Army,

to secretly controlling the condolences process,

Then after hearing the soldier’s report to the company commander and confirming that the plan had succeeded, the fleeting faint smile, the emotions advanced layer by layer, revealing are in their most natural state.

The most amazing thing is the frozen smile at the end.

There is a huge conspiracy hidden behind the smile.

Wang Zhiwen did not deliberately show off his acting skills throughout the whole process, but still put the word acting on the screen.

html In 23 episodes and 3 scenes, Wang Zhiwen gave the character three different faces, making this villain unfathomable.

The character switches between amiable and ruthless in one second, which is enough to make people's hair stand on end and make the protagonist sweat.

Wang Zhiwen is the god of lines. His plays don't need to be seen, just listening to the voice is enough to make him exciting.

The sentence in the trailer, "Let's wait to go to hell together!" The crazy criticism in the line has already made me look forward to seeing how Wang Zhiwen will play the desperate Zheng Lanting.

3 No matter how many times he is ranked, he is the god of acting in Chinese dramas.

Many people say that Wang Zhiwen is the god of lines. In my opinion, he is the god of acting.

Even if there are only a few stills, people can be involved in the plot, because his face is full of drama.

"Dark Night and Dawn" before Wang Zhiwen appeared, the effect was lively, but after Wang Zhiwen appeared, a high-ranking cat-and-mouse game began, and the whole drama suddenly stabilized.

seemed to have a backbone instantly.

Good actors cannot guarantee that a drama will be successful, but they can maintain the lower limit of a drama.

Wang Zhiwen is always Wang Zhiwen. A better drama is "Rebel", a worse drama is "Infernal Affairs", but as long as there are passages where Wang Zhiwen appears, it is worth watching.

He used his most refined performance to uphold the quality of the spy drama.

Now, it’s the turn of the anti-special drama.

In addition to the acting, what also impressed me about the series was the casting.

Liu Peiqi, who plays Boss Huang in the drama,

plays Xiao Dali in "No Regrets" and has been staring at Feng Jingbo for a lifetime.

played Kong Lin, Lin Shaobai's mother,

played Xiao Dali's wife Liu Yaqin in "No Regrets".

Li Mengnan, who plays Deputy Director Yang, played an adult pigtail in "No Regrets".

After so many years, the classics are still there. Chinese dramas have changed several times. Gone are the days when those powerful actors took the lead. Almost all spy wars and counter-attack dramas are launched with the configuration of young actors + veteran actors.

But whether he plays a leading role or a supporting role, a good actor is a good actor. I don’t know whether Wang Zhiwen can create another anti-special drama classic, but he is probably able to create another classic role.

As for the future of anti-special dramas, let’s take our time and look down, “There’s no rush to eat fish.”
