Youth growth dramas about two-way crushes are really hard to watch. The TV series "Long Time Love" starring Yang Zi and Fan Chengcheng depicts a love that spans time with the themes of youth, pain, love, and growth. The story of friendship.
childhood sweethearts, campus friendships, and middle-aged workplace dilemmas have three major attractions. They have captured the audience's desire to follow the drama. The ratings for the first episode reached 0.22%, and it is expected to become another hit after " Blossoms " A good drama.
Of course, the most attractive thing about this drama is the love story between Yang Zi and Fan Chengcheng, a pair of siblings with an 8-year age difference.
Some people think that it is too inconsistent for 31-year-old Yang Zi and 23-year-old Fan Chengcheng to play a couple;
But some people think that Yang Zi has been acting for more than ten years and has so many hit dramas. Even if Being older does not affect the audience's experience of watching the drama.
So, what are the performances of Yang Zi and Fan Chengcheng in the play? Can "Long Time Love" really start the 2024 screen domination mode?
Age difference cp
Yang Zi, who debuted as a child star, has no doubt about her ability to handle dramas, especially last year's " Sauvignon Blanc ", which became a big hit and established her status as the heroine of hit dramas. .
This time, Yang Zi switched from ancient times to modern times again, playing a middle-aged reporter in "Love for a Long Time". The first thing she saw when she appeared was a windbreaker + a peaked cap, which was completely different from the costumed beauty in "Sauvignon Blanc". The first shot is eye-catching.
appeared in a trench coat style to show the neat and heroic side of the reporter. However, when Yang Zi went to the meeting alone to obtain evidence in order to expose the hypocritical true face of philanthropist Hao Ping, she had to succumb to "illegal evidence". When she had no choice but to publicly apologize, her helplessness and sadness made people feel heartbroken and sympathetic.
This small detail alone is enough to show the mature acting skills that Yang Zi has accumulated over more than ten years of acting.
However, as an actress over 30, the role of middle-aged women is indeed very realistic. However, in this drama, Yang Zi also has to take into account the plot of the school days, which makes the transition difficult for the audience. After all, The 31-year-old Yang Zi is no longer the same Xiaoxue she was when she acted in " A Family with Children ".
In front of the camera, Yang Zi put on a youthful and energetic school uniform and a simple and neat ponytail, but she could not hide her age that was visible to the naked eye when the camera was zoomed in.
Therefore, standing next to the 23-year-old Fan Chengcheng still feels a bit inconsistent.
Fan Chengcheng, who has always been a "conspicuous" character in variety shows, has entered the entertainment industry with the aura of his sister. It can be said that he has attracted much attention since his debut and has also enjoyed good resources that many people cannot have.
first appeared in major variety shows and became familiar with the audience; now he has started to act in TV series and movies, and also sings. It seems that he really wants to develop into an all-round artist.
Therefore, "Long Time Love" invited Fan Chengcheng to play the male lead, and paired with Yang Zi, the heroine of the drama, it can be said that it is both topical and popular.
However, as the first male protagonist of an idol drama to take the leading role, Fan Chengcheng’s performance has also attracted much attention.
In "Long Time Love", Fan Chengcheng plays the male protagonist Jiang Yi, who has a cool and handsome appearance but is warm and affectionate on the inside. He and the heroine Huang Yingzi, played by Yang Zi, are childhood sweethearts, childhood sweethearts, and crushes on each other. The ambiguous interaction is really confusing and helpless.
In order to present the plot where the male protagonist is used to hiding his love in details, Fan Chengcheng basically didn’t speak much in the opening episodes. Instead, he needed to present it through some details and micro-expressions, but Fan Chengcheng’s performance seemed to be a bit unsatisfactory.
For example, the heroine Huang Yingzi was walking home alone. The hero was worried about her and followed her silently. After being discovered by the heroine, he needed to cover up his behavior and heart with duplicitous emotions, but Fan Chengcheng just pouted and said, "I I came to you on purpose too." There was no more unnecessary emotion.
At the wedding of an old classmate, Huang Yingzi chatted with the male protagonist enthusiastically, very eager to get a response from the male protagonist, and there was still an unspeakable throbbing hidden in his words. At this time, looking at Fan Chengcheng's reaction, it seemed like I He looks like he's not familiar with you, and he doesn't even want to give you a basic response.
Generally speaking, when a young actor like Fan Chengcheng, whose acting skills are still in his green stage, plays with an experienced actor like Yang Zi, the quality of his acting skills can be seen at a glance.
The workplace scenes are touching
If you think "Long Time Love" is just a pure youth campus romance film, then you are wrong! Its middle-aged workplace scenes are the biggest highlight.
After entering my 30s, I realized that the beautiful fantasy I had when I was 18 turned out to be just a fantasy.
When I was 18 years old, I imagined that life after the age of 30 would be like a successful career and a happy family, but the reality is that my work is in a mess and my love is not available. As a reporter, the heroine Huang Yingzi of
obviously had the mentality of exposing social injustice and wanted to act as the god of justice, but she found that everything was just her own whim.
Not only was he unable to expose the ugliness of reality with his own hands, but he also faced the risk of receiving letters from lawyers every minute. Even the topic he wanted to do was snatched away on the spot. He was really a living "social animal in the workplace."
However, compared to the helplessness and sadness of the heroine Huang Yingzi in the workplace, the second female lead Fang Mingyu is really heartwarming at first sight.
As the manager of the human resources department, Fang Mingyu not only has no right to say no when faced with the layoffs task assigned by the company's leaders, she even has to face the disgusted eyes of her colleagues in the company. Under such circumstances, I had to bite the bullet and say "must fire" to my colleagues!
Colleagues naturally did not look down upon her tough and no room for maneuver attitude. They picked up a glass of water from the table and poured it on Fang Mingyu's face. This splash not only made her colleagues Venting out his dissatisfaction also made Fang Mingyu's conscience feel better, because Fang Mingyu personally prepared this glass of water for his colleagues.
In the end, Fang Mingyu wiped away the water and ate the chocolate pie Huang Yingzi gave her while holding back tears, feeling even more mixed emotions in her heart.
From this short plot, it perfectly shows the difficulty and tolerance of middle-aged people in the workplace, and it can make people break their guard in an instant.
Although there is indeed an insurmountable age difference between Yang Zi and Fan Chengcheng, as the audience said, as long as the characters and plot settings are in place and reasonable, this age difference can be ignored.
looks forward to Yang Zi and Fan Chengcheng colliding with each other in the next plot to create different sparks for the audience!
