TVB's TVB celebration drama "Beautiful Battlefield" is on the air, killing the memories of Ye Nianchen , "A Bao" and Fang Lishen , and followed it for a week, whether it is the protagonist's character, appearance or the development of the plot, It's all eye-popping, and it's really hard to find the merits of this show.
"Beautiful Battlefield", as the name suggests, is about the "history of struggle" between women. This drama selected three young actresses: Chen Ying, Liu Peiyue , Chen Xiaohua, The drama tells about the sisterhood of Zhong Jiabao (Chen Ying), Lin Xiaomei (Chen Xiaohua) and Li Jinger (Liu Peiyue). Deep, gradually scattered things after graduation. Jiabao was privately signed up by Xiaomei to participate in the magazine's school beauty election, and finally stood out and was recruited by the gold manager Wang Yiyan ( Chen Shancong ). Jiabao has entered another giant "battlefield", intertwined with stories of love, hate and hatred under the endless desire.
Obviously, looking at the introduction of the plot, it smells a bit like "Jewelry" and "Beautiful Legend", or it makes people imagine that it is the modern version of "Golden Branches", " Palace scheming ", but after watching it, I was surprised by the quality of the plot. The difference is too far.
The play unfolds in flashbacks. The famous star Zhong Jiabao, at a beauty pageant, saw a candidate who would rather give up the chance to compete in order to help his sister find a mobile phone, and thought of his former self. "Silly white sweet"... The story of
goes back to 2003, yes, that year of SARS, all the shit started!
At that time, Zhong Jiabao was still a high school student and was preparing to go to university. Her mother died early, and her father married a vicious stepmother. The stepmother's daughter, Zhong Jiaqi, was even worse than the stepmother. The two always worked together to bully Ah Bao, the purpose is to drive A Bao out of the house so that he can occupy her room and occupy the whole house.
A Bao is that no matter how "sister" Zhong Jiaqi speaks evilly towards her, he always repays his grievances with virtue and treats them as a family. Because of his mother's death, his father received 20 million in compensation, and he also agreed to his father to transfer all the money to her. Stepmother, she stayed in Hong Kong to study by herself. The father and daughter in the
play, in terms of characters, look like they came out of a TV series in the 1980s: one is a useless character who is at the mercy of others, and the other is stupid and sweet to the extreme. At the beginning of
, the father played by Du Yange and kept saying that he would not pay compensation, saying that even if he took his deceased wife, he would not be able to come back. As a result, he was coaxed a few times by his current wife, and he signed for compensation, which was really illogical. In the process of watching, you can also feel the split of the characters' personalities all the time. One second, the father said to his daughter that he missed her mother and would not ask for compensation anyway, and the next second he was drunk and madly kissed his current wife.
's daughter, Bao, too. The mother and daughter have been mean and sarcastic against her for so many years, yet she can still treat them so leniently and give them 20 million yuan. It's true that
is kind, but it really doesn't make sense for this little white lotus character to be "stupid" like this! In the
play, the mother-daughter villains don't even hide their scheming, and they show it directly: "We are bad people". How such a masked villain plot can support the play to the end is really curious.
Xiaomei played by Chen Xiaohua is also full of "love brain", and it is unbelievable that the character played by Ding Zilang in the play just said a few words.
To tell the truth, Chen Ying, Liu Peiyue, and Chen Xiaohua are really not like middle school students.
As for the acting skills of the actors, Chen Ying can say that this time, she is trying hard enough to take it seriously. She played in the play from the age of 18 to middle age, from a kind-hearted and stubborn girl next door to a popular female star who has experienced hardships and traumas. Chen Ying won praise with the drama "His Royal Highness" before. This time, not only the appearance of the character has changed over 20 years, but also the character's personality has changed almost 180 degrees. The difficulty factor of the role can be said to be the highest ever.
is more convincing for the role performance, Chen Ying spent a lot of thought on the styling design, and even took the initiative to propose to play the role of a girl when she was a girl: "Because I want to have an obvious difference, plain makeup can be compared with very strong star makeup. A more obvious contrast." From the previous 5 episodes,
's acting skills were still too immature, and when he was young, he was too dumb, and he didn't have the agility of a girl. The scene in the play where he was photographed by a gold-medal agent (played by Chen Shancong), his posture and expression were very poor, and it was really difficult for people to associate with the "goddess".
Jiang Jiamin is one of the highlights of this show. If she wins the Best Supporting Actress, it will be convincing. Her role is always extreme, like "The Truth of Life Change" before, so "good" that people can't stand it , this time it was "bad" enough to make people want to beat her, the change was too great.
has been in the industry for 16 years. Before that, she played inconspicuous roles in the third and fourth line for most of the time. In recent years, people have gradually noticed her, especially the role of Ma Zini in "Love Home", which impressed the audience deeply. . This drama has only aired five episodes, and Jiang Jiamin has already performed "Anti-Bone" superbly. Seeing her micro-expression after she succeeded in her trick several times makes people feel chilled, which shows that she is very involved in the drama, and everyone is also working hard. Support her to win the "Best Supporting Actress" at the Taiwan Celebration Awards.
plays Zhong Jiaqi's mother in the play is Yang Zhuona , she is Yang Yi 's sister, different from the previous bitter roles, this time she is a vicious stepmother, who is carrying her husband and the "watch" in the play "Brother" cheating, this time Yang Zhuona's performance also surprised Wu Jiale, he said: "Her tears can be dripped with the camera, let me understand what is called professional!" The "female man" who is the leading character, whenever Abao or Xiaomei is bullied, Jinger rushes out to protect them as soon as possible. She is just but has an impulsive personality. The character of this character is relatively normal.
Overall, although the acting skills of many actors in this play are eye-catching, and the plot is particularly eye-catching because of the shell of the entertainment industry, but from the current point of view, the people have a bit outrageous, and the trend of the plot It is not deeply rooted in people's hearts, and the whole is on the surface.
Over the years, we have all deeply felt the decline of Hong Kong dramas, but "Beautiful Battlefield" amplifies this sense of decline. The appearance of 's actors is not "beautiful", there is no battlefield but only bloody plots for tearing, and Or a drama that will be broadcast in 2022, who can believe that there is such an old-fashioned plot now? I really dare not write Cantonese feature films like this.
Therefore, the plot is not new, it will only use the tragic plots of the old era to pile up heroines, so that the audience has no sense of substitution. It is a pity that the decline of Hong Kong dramas is not without reasons!
According to the preview, there will still be a lot of memories in next week's episodes. I really hope to "fast forward" to the entertainment circle to see if this drama has a chance to come back to life!
