National Day file was supposed to be the hottest time for cinema movies, but unfortunately, except for one " ", other blockbusters have been invisible. The audience also did not expect that the cinema films were collectively low-key, and the popularity of online dramas that had just ended in the summer season had not yet been picked up, but instead gave the opportunity to star dramas. At present,
's TV series " Hutong ", " Bottom Line " and " Big Exam " broadcasted on Star are all online and popular works. In particular, "Big Exam", which is the third most popular, can be said to have no sense of existence in the early stage of its launch, but I didn't expect it to be broadcast, but it gave the audience a surprise.
From the content point of view, "The Big Exam" is mainly based on group portraits, telling the story of a group of senior high school students who were greeted by the epidemic on the eve of the 2020 Spring Festival. In the plot, in addition to facing academic pressure and conflicts in school and family, they also have to resist the epidemic and be responsible for their own lives.
reviewed the works containing anti-epidemic elements in film and television dramas, and the tonality was relatively serious and rigid. Before the launch of "Big Exam", the audience was also worried about the heavy content of the show.
But unexpectedly, the painting style of "Big Exam" also has a relaxed part. The characters in the play will encounter headaches, but the characters are all cute and three-dimensional, real and down-to-earth.
takes Wang Benzhong played by Wang Qianyuan and as an example. His personality is free and easy, and he is reckless and reckless when he does things. His whole body is full of daring and daring. Although he is a principal in the play, the audience knows that this character is definitely a thorn in his school days.
also plays a comedy role as well as Wang Xiao, whose role is to be strict with his wife, but he is a strict one. Although he is obsessed with games all day and has no ambition, his family status is extremely polar. Zhou Bowen, played by Hu Xianxu , just coughed, and he immediately stopped. In the plot, even Zhou Bowen sold his favorite game account, he didn't dare to say anything, he could only complain.
From the perspective of the roles created by Wang Xiao and Wang Qianyuan, these two roles are relatively comical settings. The appearance of the two made the plot humorous, especially Wang Xiao's big mask, which just showed a different color to the relatively depressing atmosphere during the epidemic.
Of course, the success of a show is not due to one or two characters. Chen Baoguo, , Wang Qianyuan and others are the leading actors in "The Big Exam". The key to the sense of play.
For example, Zhang Ruihan, who played the role of Li Gengxi 's father in "The Big Exam". In the play, he is the father of two children, but because life forced him to put all his energy on the younger daughter, he has always felt guilty but helpless for Li Gengxi, who shaped the eldest daughter Tian Wenwen.
Compared with the roles of Wang Xiao and Wang Qianyuan, Zhang Ruihan's father always gives the audience a feeling of low pressure. His expression is always submissive, as if all the edges and corners have been smoothed out by life.
In Zhang Ruihan's performance, the audience can see the struggles and contradictions of adults. Seeing his daughter drifting away from him, he was disappointed and sad, but there was nothing he could do. Several times, the author can see "bitterness" on Zhang Ruihan's face. And this character is a marginal character in the whole play, and it can be remembered by the audience entirely because of Zhang Ruihan's performance, which is too brilliant.
Many viewers didn't even recognize him. He is actually the actor who played the role of Cao Debao in this year's hit drama " The World ".
In "The World", Cao Debao is the soul of Liu Xiaojunzi, a character that the audience finds it difficult to judge whether it is good or bad.
At first, he made friends with sincerity, and he was a little inferior, but he was loyal and down-to-earth. But it is a pity that with the development of the plot, he gradually developed from inferiority complex to conceited. After he became rich, he even forgot his origins, and he gradually drifted away from his former good brother, becoming a stranger.
itself, Cao Debao is not a lovable characterRole. However, under the shaping of Zhang Ruihan, the audience is in a dilemma.
The audience hates him for being detached, but they can understand his choice, even because of his simplicity in the early stage, he always wears a layer of filter. In the play, Cao Debao's ending also regretted his choice, and the audience just sighed at his ending.
can make an unpleasant character turn the tide and gain the audience's approval. In addition to the setting of the character itself and the development of the story, it is also inseparable from the shaping of the actors. Zhang Ruihan performed the different states of Cao Debao at different stages of life. Whether it is inferiority complex or conceited, the audience can identify with the character and see the authenticity of the character.
At the end of the TV series, Cao Debao watched Zhou Bingkun and his family chat happily, and the emotions revealed in his expression were both regret and nostalgia. In the eyes of the audience, there is a sense of powerlessness that time has changed and things are different.
Cao Debao is one of the most outstanding characters in "The World", and actor Zhang Ruihan is also remembered by the audience through the role of Cao Debao.
From the modeling point of view, Cao Debao in "The World" and the father in "The Big Exam" are not different in terms of image setting. They are both low-level characters and have also experienced various tests of life. Just as the actor of the role, Zhang Ruihan played the difference of the role, so that the audience could not connect the two roles at all. This is his shaping power as an actor.
Of course, Zhang Ruihan did not become a hit in "The World". Even if Cao Debao is out of the circle, Zhang Ruihan's acting career is still very low-key. In "The Big Exam", the characters he portrayed were insignificant, and he had portrayed such marginalized characters many times.
Cheng Qianli in " Dajiang Dahe ", Deng Yaoxian in " Procuratorial Team ", among the many characters that Zhang Ruihan has created, there is no distinction between big and small roles. His investment will always be able to achieve stable performance and become a drama Highlights in.
Now, Zhang Ruihan is 37 years old, and he is well-prepared both in terms of his acting experience and his original aspirations as an actor. With the blessings of "The World" and "The Big Exam", he should really be popular. And the author believes that through these roles, he can grasp more important characters and bring more surprises to the audience.
At present, "Big Exam" is still on the air. Although the ratings are average, it has performed well in word of mouth, and has won unanimous praise from netizens.
For an actor like Zhang Ruihan who is good at dramas and period dramas, word of mouth is far more important than popularity. It is hoped that after "The Big Exam", he can stabilize his level of reception and be recognized by the audience in more word-of-mouth dramas.
