The arrival of " Alley People " has made the Chinese drama market lively.

This popular period drama currently airing on Hunan TV has been updated for nearly half of the time, and the plot has gradually reached its climax. In the latest episodes of

, the cotton spinning mill faced difficulties and decided to use unsalable fabrics to offset workers' wages, which also paved the way for Song Ying to walk out of the cotton spinning mill.

As the children in the alley grew up, the relationship between Zhuang Tunan and his college classmate Li Jia became closer, but changes in policies also made it difficult for the two to express their feelings.

The drama shows the ups and downs of two families and two generations, showing the flow of the times and the changes over the years. As the children all grow up, the audience will see the challenges and opportunities faced by people in the new era.

After the broadcast of "Alley People", the ratings remained high, with a Douban score of 8.2, making it another blockbuster of the generation.

In the audience's evaluation of this drama, the most mentioned thing is "reality", and most of the reality is not only buried in every bit of the drama, but also buried in the characters' every frown and smile.

Most of the actors in "Alley People" have contributed extremely wonderful performances.

Yan Ni and Jiang Xin perform on the same stage, and their acting skills are wonderful.

The most outstanding characters in the drama are undoubtedly the best friends played by Yan Ni and Jiang Xin.

Let’s talk about Yan Ni first.

As a Grand Slam TV queen, Yan Ni’s acting skills can be put into textbooks.

Huang Ling, who she plays in the play, is a hard-working and good-natured person who takes care of the food and clothing expenses of the whole family while going to work.

The meal was prepared for her mother-in-law’s birthday but she couldn’t serve it. The sad and helpless look in her eyes was a true portrayal of many women in that era.

But in order to give her children a good living and learning environment, Huang Ling had to break out.

This confrontation scene with her parents-in-law fully demonstrated Yan Ni’s acting skills.

She did not explode as soon as she came on, but calmly talked about the injustices that had occurred for many years. With the restraint of an old actor, she performed the character's grievances one by one.

After being scolded by her husband and father-in-law, Huang Ling endured it again and again, but tears still fell. She closed her eyes to calm down, and was greeted by a bitter smile.

Huang Ling is not here to complain. The smile at this moment is a disguise for her strength.

When no one was on her side, Huang Ling looked at her husband and said: "Even if it is a divorce, I will not give in."

Her tearful eyes showed both anger and disappointment. The character suddenly exuded a toughness that was not seen before, which was the determination to protect her children. In this scene, Yan Ni perfectly interpreted the character's complex mood.

It turns out that the real explosion of acting skills is not hysteria with bulging veins at all, but a huge effort.

Look at Jiang Xin again.

once again got Jiang Xin’s character shaping power.

Unlike Huang Ling, Song Ying played by Jiang Xin is not easy to mess with.

had a big quarrel with the factory leaders over sharing a house. She retaliated verbally while inciting the onlookers to speak for her. A roll of her eyes and a curse word were worse than the swear words.

From the tone of her voice to the movements of her eyes, Jiang Xin's performance was delicate and expressive, and the "prick-headed" person was immediately established.

She is also an actor who is good at using skills. She knows what emotions should have such reactions and actions, and casual small details can convey the thoughts of the character.

At Tunan's entrance banquet, Song Ying was staring directly at Sister Ling before she sat down. She couldn't hide the smile at the corner of her mouth, with an expression on her face that she was looking forward to a good show.

and Huang Ling sent Tunan to college. She felt the same and couldn't help crying. She turned her head and wiped her tears for fear of being seen by others. Jiang Xin played the character's inner softness and transparency just right, and she was always immersed in the role.

I think after this drama, the most popular candidate for major awards next year will definitely be Jiang Xin.

There are also a large number of good actors in Chinese dramas such as Liu Jun, Guo Xiaodong, Li Guangjie, etc. The performances in the drama are equally wonderful. It can be said that all the actors in "Alley People" have passed the test, provided that he is not there——

Fan Chengcheng's acting skills are like wood, dragging down the whole drama.

I think it goes without saying that the audience also knows who the biggest failure in "Alley People" is -

The actor who plays the adult Zhuang Tunan, Fan Chengcheng.

In the first few episodes, Zhuang Tunan in childhood and adolescence, played by Wang Siyao and Xiao Tianren, was the "dream love child" of many viewers.

was naive and cute when he was a child. After being admitted to high school, he became more stable and mature than his peers, and he fit the character very well.

However, as an adult, Zhuang Tunan became like this -

Dumb-headed, with a wretched face, he did not look like a top student from a prestigious university at all, but like a gangster wandering the streets.

And Fan Chengcheng’s acting skills can be described in one word: stunned.

Take the scene where Huang Ling fights her parents-in-law as an example. Tunan and Xiaoting should be the most entangled people in the whole scene. On one side is their mother, on the other side is their father's family. It is not good to stand on either side for whom to speak.

The little girl who played Xiao Ting was very into the play, with tears in her eyes, looking at whoever spoke, with a face full of bewilderment.

Let’s look at Fan Chengcheng’s Tunan again, with his hands on his legs, hunched over as if he was asleep, and was struck by the young actor’s dimension reduction.

When his mother told him this matter alone, Fan Chengcheng still looked like a "living person", sitting blankly, his expression could not convey any emotion, and he could not even open his eyes.

What’s even funnier is that Fan Chengcheng almost finished the whole play with such a life-or-death expression.

Knowing that you might fail the exam and miss out on your ideal university is like this:

My sister is wronged and slapped, still like this:

Netizens who have always been good-tempered couldn't help but ask - "Can the drama studio consider AI face replacement?"

After all, this face affects the audience's experience of following the drama too much, but some netizens also suggested - "Face replacement is in vain. I can't change that hunched-down neck and sneaky, dog-like posture."

What everyone said is correct. Fan Chengcheng replaced the changes in expression with exaggeration of the body. He would stick out his butt before answering the phone.

Occasionally, he would use cramps to show off his acting skills. Good job. The top student was played by him into a retarded child.

If the traffic actor has no real ability, he should not show up in period dramas.

Conclusion:

With "Alley Man" The ratings of "Home" are rising all the time, and the controversy about Fan Chengcheng's acting skills is getting bigger and bigger.

Maybe if Zhuang Tunan is played by someone else, the rating will not be more than 8.2, but in the face of competition. Yi Fan Chengcheng also responded, saying that he has received a lot of mixed reviews and will change after thinking and reviewing.

However, no matter how much he changes, how much his acting skills will improve will only happen later. Finally, there is a period drama that can rival "Parents Love" and "In the World", but it was ruined because of him.

I can only say that it is an actor. Know yourself first before choosing a role in a script. Don’t take on a porcelain job if you don’t have diamonds. Don’t let the efforts of a crew go to waste.

So, what do you think of Fan Chengcheng’s performance in this drama?
