Current workplace dramas have almost completely replaced urban emotional dramas as the most popular ones. The decline of emotional themes has made workplace dramas with more interesting content a trend.
In the past two years, there have been many good dramas starring Tsing Yi Dahua, such as Sun Li 's " Settlement " and "Ideal City", Yuan Quan and Huang Xiaoming 's " The War of the Roses ", all of which have more workplace elements. Many conscientious works.
The first quarter of 2024 is coming to an end, and it’s time for modern workplace TV series to be launched.
"City Within a City", which is about to be shown to the audience on CCTV, is a potential dark horse that is expected to become a hit.
It is reported that the TV series "City within the City" will meet the audience on April 9. From the start of filming to the finalization of the series, it can be said to be an accelerator, showing the confidence of the film studio and the broadcasting platform in the TV series. .
From the configuration point of view, "City within a City" is coming in a big way.
Financial themes are once again a hit, and "City Within the City" is exciting to watch.
2024 is really the "financial" year of domestic dramas. " Blossoms " opened the year, and the popular "Wind Chaser" and "Riding the Wind" are currently airing. "Treading the Waves" all has elements such as finance and business.
"City Within a City" puts the historical background on two generations in the financial circle. It tells the story of a group of young college students who join a financial bank in Lujiazui, Shanghai, compete with big shots, communicate with their seniors, and ultimately gain a foothold in the bottom line of their careers and The story of the game between fame, fortune and money and human nature.
Judging from the original work and trailer, "City Within" used financial corruption as the entry point as soon as it was launched. Compared with simple legendary stories, "City Within" also has a lot of industry insider information. In terms of scale, "City Within" "It's exciting to watch, and the trailer released a lot of "very punishing" signals.
Not only that, "City Within a City" is adapted from the novel of the same name. The original work is famous for its financial reality themes. The author of the novel, Teng Xiaolan, is the winner of the Lu Xun Literature Award. With
buff superimposed, the plot of "City Within a City" is considered stable.
Of course, the cast configuration is also the reason why many viewers are looking forward to "City Within a City".
Yu Hewei partners with Wang Jinsong , and the lineup is not inferior to "Horse"
The hit drama "Hurry" in 2023 can be released from the beginning of the year to the end of the year. The TV series was launched at the beginning of the year, but by the end of the year, the short video platform is owned by the Gao family , the classic character Gao Qiqiang was very popular.
The popularity of "Hurry Up" has of course also made many powerful actors famous.
Zhang Songwen, who plays Gao Qiqiang, has completely become the top uncle in the uncle circle. Gao Ye, who plays the role of sister-in-law, not only collaborates with Zhang Yimou, but also plays the heroine position in the TV series he is filming. Not only that, Gao Qilan, who plays a small role in the drama, Lonnie, There has also been a significant improvement in resources.
As the main role this time, she also participated in the TV series "City within the City", playing the second female lead Zhou Lin.
In "Horse", Gao Qilan's image is noble and intellectual, with an elite face full of sisterliness. In "City Within", Lonnie once again reproduced the look in "Horse", with long brown-red curly hair and blonde hair. Wire-rimmed glasses, high intelligence in every gesture, elegance and intellectuality.
In terms of image charm, Lonnie is very beautiful. More importantly, compared to the emasculated charm of the character in "Hurry Up", Zhou Lin in "City Within" is ambitious and plays a love game with a financial boss, which is very interesting.
Of course, "City Within" is a financial workplace drama from a male perspective, and the focus cannot be entirely on the female lead. From the perspective of the cast and creative lineup, "City Within" really has a good cast. "hurricane".
The most eye-catching one is Yu Hewei, who plays the role of financial tycoon Zhao Hui. In terms of plot and character, Zhao Hui is the bank president in the financial circle of Lujiazui, Shanghai. He has legendary shopping experience. He is middle-aged. , is almost the idol and goal of many newcomers to finance.
But unfortunately, the character played by Yu Hewei this time is not the ascetic type in suits and ties, but the "prison type" who is lawless and controlled by money and power. As for how good Yu Hewei is as a villain? Just look at his performance in " is as solid as a rock " and you will understand. In the trailer of
, Yu Hewei's whole person is shrouded in sanctimonious but bottomless scheming. His arrogant relaxation, when the male protagonist recognizes the true face of his idol and challenges Zhao Hui, he performs a kind of condescension like looking at ants. , a joking smile is enough to establish the character charm of Zhao Hui.
People have to look forward to Wang Jinsong, a national first-class actor who will star opposite Yu Hewei this time.
Wu Xianlong, played by Wang Jinsong, is also a big man who stirs up troubles in the financial circle. In the play, Wang Jinsong has a beard and the clothes he wears have a sense of homeliness, but in fact he is a villain with no lower limit. Zhao Hui went astray. Directly related to him.
Regardless of the direction of the plot, I am already looking forward to the rivalry between He Wei and Wang Jinsong, pulling each other, and even when the characters explode at the end.
Yu Hewei and Wang Jinsong, the two bosses play two villains. What kind of protagonist does this have to be?
After much deliberation, the film crew chose Bai Yufan as the most suitable candidates. The financial themes staged during this period are almost at two extremes. Wang Yibo's body is too idol-like, and Qiao Shan's body is too earthy from the Northeast, but Bai Yufan has a completely different style of painting.
It can be seen from Bai Yufan's performance in dramas such as "Mountain and Sea Love", "The Beginning" and "I'm Good in a Foreign Country" that he is actually a life-style actor, with delicate acting skills and down-to-earth expression, without being an idol. She is good-looking, but tall. She can play a rich and generous company boss at first, but a young man from northern Shaanxi with a rustic look at next.
As for Bai Yufan in "City Within the City", he can't be said to be handsome, but he is full of youthfulness, and his body is full of vitality. Compared with the depth released by He Wei and Wang Jinsong in the play, there is a clear difference.
However, in addition to his youthful and vigorous vitality, I am also looking forward to Bai Yufan's portrayal of the male protagonist Tao Wuji's mental journey in the play. From full of admiration to the collapse of his idol image, how Bai Yufan will interpret the male protagonist being beaten by reality. The collapse of his three views can almost directly determine the success or failure of this character.
In short, the main actors of "City Within a City" are more exciting than the last. Not only that, Wang Xiao, Yang Zishan, Tu Songyan, Chen Jin, Li Hongtao, etc. who appeared in the supporting cast all supported the level of the lineup of this drama.
At present, the TV series "City within a City" is still being warmed up, but the theme content and cast of this drama have given the audience a signal that it will be a hit.
But whether "City Within a City" can become a hit depends on the market feedback after the feature film is released. Next, let us look forward to the performance of "City Within a City" and wait and see.
