The financial spy drama "Storm Chaser" of the Republic of China has been popular among many viewers since it was first broadcast on CCTV. Looking into the reasons, there are three main reasons.
For one, it fulfilled its duty as a spy drama.
It has all the elements that a spy drama should have.
Almost every episode has an exciting plot setting to show espionage elements such as intelligence exchange, gunfights, assassinations, or violent torture.
Second, the blessing of the financial industry.
When fighting a war, we fight for the economy. This drama fills the gap in the spy war genre.
In addition, there is a third reason, which is the traffic aura and performance charm of actors.
Wang Yibo and Li Qin 's popularity, Wang Yang 's gimmick of acting in a spy war drama after "Rebel", and Wang Xueqi , Yang Kun and other veteran actors' blessings have undoubtedly enhanced the performance of the series. visibility.
Next, let’s rank the acting skills of the actors in "Storm Chaser" to see the gap between their acting skills, and also see where their performances are good and where they are bad.
No. 8: Li Qin (played by Shen Jinzhen)
Shen Jinzhen, played by Li Qin in the drama, is definitely a very eye-catching heroine in spy war dramas in recent years. She is good at martial arts, marksmanship, and literary skills. Play the piano well.
Putting on a windbreaker, she is a sharpshooter who scares the enemy.
Putting on the dress, she instantly transformed into an elegant and confident rich lady, becoming the most eye-catching star at the entire ball.
The valuable thing about Li Qin's performance is that she perfectly displayed the two extremely inconsistent temperaments of the character.
One scene that impressed me deeply was when, in order to find out information, she deliberately set up a dinner date with her enemy who had a crush on him in a restaurant.
Above the dinner table, she was chatting and laughing with a gentle face, letting the other party take off his guard, but below the dinner table, her tightly clenched palms were enough to show the anger and resentment in her heart.
Such a tiny detail design shows Li Qin’s deep understanding and empathy for the character’s heart.
The only drawback is that the screenwriter’s portrayal of this character is a bit weak.
This also affected Li Qin's performance to a certain extent, allowing her to play the passionate Shen Jinzhen into a willful young lady without paying attention.
In addition, it is worth mentioning that Li Qin’s perfect presentation of the characters’ costumes in this drama.
Leaving aside those highly enveloping clothes when she appears as a gunman, whenever she appears as a rich lady, her outfit in the play is like a clothes rack, so beautiful that people can’t take their eyes away. .
believes that as the plot progresses, she will also bring cooler outfits to the audience at the end of the series, so look forward to it.
No. 7: Zheng Xingxing (played as Wen Biao)
Many people may be a little surprised when ranking No. 7 in acting skills for an actor who does not have many roles.
But I think a good actor does not need to be defined by the number of roles he plays, but only by his ability to shape the character.
Although Wen Biao, played by Zheng Xingxing, does not have many roles, his presentation of the character is very memorable.
As a cruel follower, Wen Biao has the same temperament as "iron and honest".
Although the public will find his status as a villain very hateful, isn't it also cute how he kneels down when he makes a mistake, becomes violent when he gets angry, and eagerly offers advice and help when he sees his boss is troubled by love?
Taking a stereotyped character and giving him a humane temperament, this is the reason why Zheng Xingxing is on the acting list of "Wind Chaser".
If he can be more comfortable and less deliberate and forceful when performing, I believe he will create more impressive characters.
No. 6: Gao Lu (played as Su Cishu)
The reason why Gao Lu is on the acting rankings of "The Storm Chaser" is that, like Zheng Xingxing, he plays a seemingly insignificant supporting role with impressive qualities.
However, because of his richer acting experience, Gao Lu's interpretation and control of the role is obviously better.
In this drama, Su Cishu, played by Gao Lu, does not have many roles. Sometimes she does not appear once in several episodes, but as long as there is a chance to appear, she will give the character a soul.
Take her first appearance in the series as an example. All the limelight belongs to her husband and sister-in-law, but her words and actions accurately reflect her identity and status in the family.
The husband drank and drank among the crowd, and the sister-in-law made a splash at the dance.
But it is precisely because of her status as a wife, sister-in-law, and mother, and because of her less dazzling but important enough contributions, that this family has a solid backing.
I have to praise Gao Lu's ability to shape characters. She really does what she plays.
In this drama, the elegance and calmness of Su Cishu, a woman from the Republic of China, the ruthlessness of the ancient concubine Lin Sushuang in "Do You Know", and the sobriety and independence of Wu Fei, a high-ranking professional in the workplace, in " are good " are all different but All have their own charm.
Good actors really don’t have to compete for roles, supporting roles can also be impressive.
No. 5: Wang Yibo (played as Wei Ruolai)
Ranking Wang Yibo at No. 5 does not mean that his acting skills exceed those of the previous ones.
But with the blessing of the protagonist's aura, he is a three-dimensional character, so that his seemingly insufficient acting skills have a lot of room to display in this drama.
Let’s take lines as an example. Wei Ruolai’s gift of photographic memory destined Wang Yibo to memorize a lot of boring and professional lines during the performance.
Therefore, when he confidently recites the number combinations in the book and repeats his brother's last words with tears in his eyes, it is difficult for the audience to ignore his charm.
The other aspect is the advancement of the character's fate. Compared with the simpler character settings of other characters, Shen Jinzhen's fate in the play can be described as ups and downs.
In the scene where his brother died, Wei Ruolai's emotions seemed to go through a roller coaster, from the anger and blame when they first met, to the panic and confusion when he discovered that he was injured, to the unbearable pain when he died.
As long as the audience has some understanding of the past, it is difficult not to empathize with the character's fate. Therefore, Wang Yibo's performance in the play is largely due to the character's own life experience.
However, Wang Yibo's progress in performance is always worthy of praise. I hope that in the future development of the plot, he can contribute more exciting performances.
No. 4: Wang Yang (played as Shen Tunan)
Although Wang Yang’s performance was ranked 4th on the acting list, to be honest, I was a little disappointed with Wang Yang’s performance.
It's just that I'm disappointed. We can't ignore his other advantages in shaping the character just because of his usual shortcomings in performance.
Let me first talk about Wang Yang’s usual shortcomings in his performances - too much personal imprint.
If you have seen his previous works, you will find that no matter what era he plays or what theme he plays, he can't get rid of his own temperament. Everything he plays seems to be playing a confident and even arrogant Chinese character. year man.
is like this in " Human World ", it is like this in " She Shines ", and it is also like this in this drama.
Anyway, it’s hard for me to understand. In "Wind Chaser", he was bombarded to the point of being dizzy one second, and then got rid of the physical pain in the next second and calmly talked about his career and ideals with others. .
It's like it's hard for me to understand that in "The Human World", he drags his seventy-year-old body with light and vigorous steps.
Wang Yang's overly staged performances can indeed bring out the character's halo, but they are not realistic.
Let’s talk about the advantage of Wang Yang’s performance in this drama - the courage to leave blank spaces.
One of the most obvious scenes is when Wei Ruolai was found distracted in class. He did not get angry immediately or show an angry expression. He just picked up his class notes and looked at them, then stared at him and turned around. Leave.
We often say that one should not be angry but be powerful. Wang Yang's expressionless look makes his suitability for the role in the play simply not too high. It can be seen that his performance can still withstand scrutiny and scrutiny.
No. 3: Zhang Tianyang (played as Lin Qiaosong)
Lin Qiaosong played by Zhang Tianyang is definitely a big surprise to the audience in the performance of "The Storm Chaser".
As the villain in the play, his performance never stops at showing evil, but explores as much as possible the versatility of a real character.
He is a heinous executioner who uses living people as targets from the very beginning.
When extorting confessions from prisoners, he also resorts to various forms of torture. When necessary, he will threaten the victims with all his madness and insidiousness. Using various despicable tricks, he has countless innocent souls under his command.
Even though he is such a vicious-hearted person, he still occasionally shines with the warmth of human nature.
When he meets the girl he has a crush on, he can't help but blush and his heart beats. Even if he risks failing the mission, he must ensure the personal safety of the crush.
treats the brothers who have been together through life and death for many years. Even as the boss who is respected by everyone, he will inadvertently put down his identity and care for his brothers.
Under Zhang Tianyang's portrayal, the villain Lin Qiaosong is indeed hateful, sad and pitiful.
No. 2: Wang Xueqi (played as Xu Nuo)
Wang Xueqi, like Wang Yang, has a strong personal style when performing.
The difference is that this performance quality of his comes from innate conditions rather than the acquired skills that Wang Yang deliberately developed. Therefore, this quality will not detract from his points, but will also add color to his performance. .
The character played by Wang Xueqi in the play, because of his secret identity, requires him to always look calm and composed. In fact, there is not much room for performance.
But he still used his excellent acting skills to give the character charm.
The scene that touched me a lot was when Shen Jinzhen took the risk to go to the bank to contact the intelligence personnel. Xu Nuo, played by Wang Xueqi, said sincerely that your biggest task is to come back alive.
As soon as these words came out, coupled with Wang Xueqi's worried expression, I really instantly realized the atmosphere of that era and the value of those heroes.
No. 1: Yang Kun (playing Aunt Zhou)
Aunt Zhou does not play much role in the drama, but with Yang Kun's performance, I believe many people are eager to meet their own Aunt Zhou in life like Wei Ruolai. .
Aunt Zhou is like the aunt we see everywhere in our lives. She may look a little annoying at first glance, and may sound annoying to one ear, but as long as you get to know her deeply, you can feel how precious she is.
At the beginning of the series, Yang Kun accurately deduced how those investors who are addicted to stocks go from madness to despair or even losing their temper.
Her performance is really educational.
When dealing with the neighbors around him, Yang Kun's performance is also at its best. He can express the character's business spirit in a few words, and a single look can convey the warm side of the character's heart.
When she looked at Wei Ruolai with reproachful, remorseful and distressed eyes, and handed over the coat she had prepared long ago, at that moment, Yang Kun's acting skills could not be covered up.
She deserves the first place in the acting rankings of "Storm Chaser".
The eight actors mentioned above are the actors who I think performed well in "The Storm Chaser".
If you have watched this show and happen to have an actor you like, please leave a message in the comments so that everyone can communicate and experience more exciting performances. (Written by Ye Shi)
