On the evening of October 22, the original video platform of the TV series " Dear Mayang Street " was launched, and many episodes were premiered. Judging from the plot content that has been broadcast for free so far, this TV series has "surprises and disappointments." The main surprise of the play is that two young actors, Niu Junfeng and Tan Songyun, provided very good performance content. The disappointment lies in the fact that this TV series "Don't Hang Up the Time", the plot is slightly suspended.


first say the good side. Niu Junfeng's performance really made many audiences shine. Among the content of the first broadcast, Niu Junfeng showed a good performance level at the beginning, especially in the several bridge sections where he was driving into a car accident, he conveyed his flexible performance. Obviously, this is a talented actor. Of course, his current talents seem to be not directly proportional to his popularity.


Later in the plot, the role played by Niu Junfeng saw the male protagonist's face covered with blood, and the performance of sending the male protagonist to the hospital was also very clever. In particular, the trembling state of the character played by Niu Junfeng is something ordinary young actors are unable to show. Even the performances of this character learning Cantonese with the little friends I just met in the plot, especially the performance of "Push the Street", are really very smart. Therefore, I think Niu Junfeng is an unexpected surprise for this TV series. It is estimated that he will still surprise the audience in the subsequent plots.

As for the actor Tan Songyun, the reason why he put it in the second surprise is because this young actor has already shown very good acting talent in many previous TV dramas. This time "Dear Mayang Street" is a continuation of previous performance talents. Tan Songyun is a young actress with a smart temperament. She is easy to portray some lively and cheerful roles. And these roles are often liked by the audience. Obviously, the actor's own looks are simple, and the lively and cheerful characters form a state that complements their looks.


In "Dear Mayang Street", Tan Songyun's many detailed performances are worthy of praise. For example, on the first day of school, when students watched their seats around the door of the classroom, Tan Songyun came out to tease another girl's braids. This way of playing is actually using instant actions to shape the character's character. This is a consciousness that many young actresses do not have. This performance consciousness was mentioned by Teacher Zhang Ziyi on the stage of "The Birth of an Actor" when he was demonstrating Zhang Xinyu's "Rebirth Fate". What is the character of

, actors can often be established through an opening action. At Tan Songyun's young age, in "Dear Mayang Street", there are many scenes that are presented in this way. This is a young actress who can act through actions and her eyes. Therefore, I think that if Tan Songyun encounters a relatively good quality film and television drama, he can win the best actress award of the TV Festival in recent years. Another spiritual actress is Zhou Dongyu. Tan Songyun's current level should be able to fight against Zhou Dongyu.


also have to say about the actor Xu Weizhou . Among his free-to-air plots, there are not many dramas. The current character design is not likable either. Judging from the several stages of his performance, the young actor still carries a lot of idol baggage. Slightly uncoordinated. In "Dear Mayang Street", all the actors are pursuing a way of de-idol dramatization, but Xu Weizhou alone can't get rid of the shadow of idol drama. This young actor failed to act in a more life-oriented way.

After talking about the leading role, talk about the script of "Dear Mayang Street". My expectation for this TV series earlier was that it was a period drama, a TV series with a better texture, and a Guangzhou life drama with a smoky life. However, judging from the content that has been broadcast so far, I had too high expectations for this TV series earlier, it is still a youth drama suspended in Guangzhou. We cannot bring "Dear Mayang Street" back to the ground and try to make it a TV drama that can reflect the style of Guangzhou in the 1980s.


To write about the era, to write about the people and things in the era, requires the strong creative skills of the screenwriterbottom. "Dear Mayang Street" obviously does not have this foundation. In this TV series, the characteristics of the times are over-relied on marking the time "1984" to complete, and life in Guangzhou at this time node lacks real city fireworks. The city life in Guangzhou in the 1980s lacked excellent literary works as support and plot imagination. On the other hand, the Beijing Well in the north has produced a large number of high-quality writers, so TV dramas with a Beijing taste can always present an authentic Beijing taste in terms of people, things and words.

Do not compare the Guangzhou label that comes with "Dear Mayang Street" with Beijing. After a comparison, it was discovered that "Dear Mayang Street" could not carry the audience's time and regional sustenance. The age is not enough, the content of the story lacks the flavor of that era, and the dialogue between the characters lacks the characteristics of Guangzhou itself. A lot of detailed processing, especially the deliberately labeled "Guangzhou" content, seems very artificial.


So, I think, "Dear Mayang Street" is suspended above Guangzhou in the 1980s. It is not so much a TV drama with the taste of Mayang Street in Guangzhou, as it is just a youth romance drama under the banner of Mayang Street. Fortunately, many actors such as Niu Junfeng, Tan Songyun, etc., are constantly surprising.
