December is almost over, which means that this year’s national dramas are coming to an end, and audiences will almost have to wait until 2024 to see new dramas.
In the field of Chinese dramas, what type of TV dramas are most likely to become dark horses at the beginning of the year?
is of course a big drama on CCTV.
html At the beginning of 2023, CCTV's anti-crime drama "Kangbiao" became popular, and anti-crime dramas are on the rise. html The CCTV reality drama "Human World" became popular at the beginning of 2022, and reality dramas are on the rise.
As film and television genres become more and more differentiated, what type of TV dramas will become popular on CCTV this year?
I feel like it’s an industry workplace drama. Too many dramas these days are dressed up as workplace dramas, with the drama of a domineering CEO falling in love with me. It’s really eye-catching. It’s time for CCTV to rectify its workplace dramas.
40 episodes of the workplace drama "City Within a City" are coming soon.
Let’s knock on the city gate and find out!
One after another, open and secret battles, the fate of two generations of financial people is decided.
The TV series "City within the City" is adapted from Teng Xiaolan's novel of the same name. The drama tells the story of two generations of financial people facing the financial crisis and struggling with the temptation of wealth and the industry. A story of constant choices between the bottom lines.
It’s the graduation season again. Fresh graduate Tao Wuji (played by Bai Yufan) and others successfully joined Shenzhen Mao Bank. Bank Vice President Zhao Hui (played by Yu Hewei) feels that Tao Wuji is capable, has high emotional intelligence, and has a lot of his own shadow when he was young, so he carefully cultivates him. But Zhao Hui's arch-rival Miao Che (Wang Xiao) feels that Tao Wuji is playing both sides and is unreliable, and a workplace battle is imminent.
Speeding cars, fluctuating stock markets, and changing numbers all appear at the beginning of the trailer, directly highlighting the intense and fast pace of the show.
After watching the trailer, I have to say that "City Within a City" can definitely create another ratings miracle, because this is not a simple workplace struggle at all.
In the play, Zhao Hui wakes up from his dream. A car accident and a murder in the man's memory appear before his eyes. He is still in shock and has already been trapped in this financial confusion.
In the flash of the camera, Zhao Hui shouted in pain towards the other side of the building, seeming to express endless pain and unwillingness. I can't help but call it "feeling".
"City Within a City" comprehensively and meticulously discusses human nature and reality in the form of group portraits. Obviously, this is the field that Teng Huatao is most familiar with and good at. Now the audience does not have to worry.
Teng Huatao is coming with his masterpiece, can he reverse the reputation?
A director's success may need many good works to prove, but a director's failure can be highlighted with just one bad movie.
Yes, everyone knows that Teng Huatao directed the bad movie "Shanghai Fortress", even Lu Han and Shu Qi could not save the box office. But one failure cannot conceal Teng Huatao's true strength.
As the best director of Magnolia, Teng Huatao has directed many well-known works such as "Double-sided Tape" and "Dwelling".
Teng Huatao has a changeable style and a delicate mind, which requires a very strict script to show his skills. And probably the only works that can match his shooting style are Teng Xiaolan's works.
Teng Xiaolan, the original author of the play, is a member of the Chinese Writers Association and has won the Mao Dun Literature Award. The characters in her works are all flesh and blood and have distinctive personalities.
This is the second time she has collaborated with Teng Huatao. I believe that the two will be able to create different sparks due to their compatibility. Coupled with the wonderful performances of all the talented actors, "City Within a City" will definitely receive huge ratings.
All members are powerful, fighting for the financial battle together
Since it is a workplace drama that CCTV is interested in, the lineup must not be underestimated.
ranks first, Yu Hewei.
Yu Hewei has appeared in many TV series suitable for all ages, such as "The Alliance of Military Advisors Sima Yi", "Next Stop Marriage", and "Age of Awakening", and has won many awards with these works. This shows that his excellent Acting.
Moreover, this "uncle circle male god" not only has strength and traffic, but the phrase "play music and then dance" has become popular all over the Internet and has become a frequent visitor in short videos.
In the trailer of the new drama, Zhao Hui came to the morgue and looked at the person covered by a white cloth on the bed. He leaned forward with a complicated expression. Was he feeling guilty, afraid or regretful at this moment?
Yu Hewei can vividly display this complex psychological activity with just one movement and one expression. He must be the Magnolia Emperor.
is second, Wang Xiao.
Everyone must be familiar with Wang Xiao. He is the Immortal Siming in "Three Lives Three Worlds", the super capable Yang Ke in "Golden Years", and the anti-drug policeman Yang Jian in "Hurry". .
Wang Xiao, who did not graduate from a major, never relied on his mother and relied on his own strength to reach the audience step by step. He is not handsome in the traditional sense, but he has an inexplicable charm.
This time he plays the male protagonist's future father-in-law in "City Within a City". It really makes people sigh that Wang Xiao has started to play the father, so who will play the child?
The third place is Bai Yufan.
said Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived.
The "child" is played by Bai Yufan. If you don't know who Bai Yufan is, it doesn't matter, because you must know the down-to-earth and diligent De Bao in "Mountains and Seas" and the gentle CEO Jian in "I'm Good in a Foreign Country" Yi Fan, or Liu Peng, Xiao Heyun's resentful friend in "The Beginning".
In the trailer of "City Within a City", Tao Wuji, played by Bai Yufan, looks at his departing girlfriend, with reluctance and helplessness written all over his face. One side is about law and the other is love. What is right? The choice?
Bai Yufan interprets this dilemma in a very layered manner. The frowning brows represent not knowing what to do, and the slightly parted lips represent unspoken reservations. In just one second, it is impressive.
Along the way, Bai Yufan has become a leading figure among the powerful niches, and his personality and appearance are also very relatable. Audience popularity is not a problem for him. This time he plays the male lead, which can It is said that "City Within a City" knows how to cast.
The fourth place is Chen Jin.
Because Chen Jin looks so "upright" and full of bookishness, she often plays more serious and traditional roles, such as the elderly Ye Wenjie in "The Three-Body Problem" and the young father-in-law in "Do You Know?" Mother, the former is mysterious and low-key, while the latter is stern and domineering.
I wonder what kind of ruthless character Chen Jin will play as Teacher Ouyang this time. This drama is really exciting.
Conclusion:
I think there are three reasons why "City Within a City" is highly anticipated:
First, it has a solid script.
Audiences have almost zero tolerance for plots full of loopholes, so a good work is inseparable from a rigorous script.
The second one is group portraits.
I have seen too many "zombie dramas" in which the whole drama is just to set off the protagonist. This kind of plot with delicate portrayal and full participation is a treasure for the audience.
Third, all members are powerful.
From the creative team to the actors and actresses, no matter who you choose, they are all capable of standing alone, not to mention all the talented actors are gathered here.
"City Within the City" itself is excellent enough, and with the blessing of CCTV, it has become a dark horse and detonated the workplace drama market!
