"City Within a City" has become a very strange hit drama: the male lead Tao Wuji and the female lead Tian Xiaohui are not likeable at all. The exciting plot and highlights are all due to Zhao Hui, Su Jianren, Five middle-aged men, Xie Zhiyuan, Wu Xianlong and Miao Che, supported him.
And the character with the most crotch-drawing and the most annoying and complaining characters in the drama is none other than the second female lead, Zhou Lin.
Long Ni, who plays Zhou Lin, had high hopes from many viewers before the show was aired. Because the character Gao Qilan played by Loni in the hit drama "Hurry Up" was praised by many people for the contrast between the characters before and after.
But to be honest, when watching "Hurry", I didn't feel that Gao Qilan played by Long Ni was so outstanding.
The reason why everyone praised her in the last few episodes is because when Gao Qilan first appeared, it was when her three siblings had no money. At that time, Xiaolan was very simple and inconspicuous. Later, when her brother became rich, the age of the character She is about the same age as the actor. Xiaolan has long hair, glasses, and a professional suit. Comparing the before and after, there is a strong sense of contrast immediately. She looks dignified and generous and somewhat charming.
However, some actors may only have enough acting skills and looks to play supporting roles. Once they are asked to play the leading role, the shortcomings of their looks and acting skills will be fully exposed as she gets more roles.
Lonnie is like this.
In "City Within a City", Zhou Lin's acting skills were just okay in the two scenes when she first appeared. Because at that time, she was just sitting or walking as if no one was watching, and she still seemed to have a cold temperament.
But later on, when Zhou Lin's appearances increased and she had a lot of emotional scenes with Su Jianren and Zhao Hui, Long Ni's acting shortcomings became immediately apparent.
First of all, the appearance is not good.
When walking, Zhou Lin likes to stretch her head forward, looking like an eagle. Moreover, his shoulders and back are not straight, and he looks old-fashioned and slovenly.
Secondly, the appearance and expression are not beautiful, and it does not fit the character of Zhou Lin.
The original work describes the difference between Zhou Lin and Li Ying: "Strictly speaking, Zhou Lin is more beautiful than Li Ying. Li Ying has a gentle and homely temperament, while Zhou Lin is more charming and different from a mature man." From a different perspective, it’s certainly more attractive.”
But if you look at Zhou Lin’s appearance, temperament, and deportment in the play, is there anything “charming” about her?
The most common expression of Zhou Lin in the drama is that her eyebrows are knitted together, her big teeth are bared, and she has a sad face and a bitter and resentful look. It makes people feel suffocated when they look at it. It can actually make Zhao Hui and Su Jianren both. A bank executive was fascinated by it, it was really outrageous!
Thirdly, the acting skills are not good. I couldn't handle the scenes between Yu Hewei and Su Jianren, and the delicate emotional expression part even stretched my hips.
If this sister doesn't speak, don't smile. She has been sitting there upright, just like a portrait, and she still looks a bit beautiful. is afraid that she will speak or make expressions, and her charm will be lost.
Lonnie's lines and acting skills are not good, her acting has no sense of hierarchy, she cries and her hips are strained during scenes, and she can't even catch the scene when she's having sex with Yu Hewei and the others.
Fourth, there are also problems with Zhou Lin’s role setting in the play. In the original work of
, Zhou Lin appears as a financial public relations officer of a company. Zhou Lin's character is that of a well-rounded, charming workplace lady and social butterfly.
There is no man who has ever been with Zhou Lin who has not been defeated by her.
The reason why Zhou Lin makes all men fall in love with her and are willing to pay for her requests is not just because of her beauty.
The men Zhou Lin dealt with were all middle- and high-level leaders of large companies and units. They were all experienced professionals in the workplace. At this age and level, no one was stupid. My master, just relying on your beauty (not to mention the fact that you are not beautiful at all in the play, it would be easy to say if you were really beautiful), acting coquettishly, and shedding a few tears, would a man be willing to go to hell for you?
There is nothing so good in the world.
Zhou Lin relies on the four words "to do what he likes".
She can always provide exactly what men (including women, Zhou Lin can handle anyone she wants) need.
If you want emotional value, I will provide you with emotional value, such as for Su Jianren.
If you want me to help you get the project, I can get the project for you, such as Xie Zhiyuan.
If you want true love, nostalgia, "resurrection" of your deceased wife, and a "mom" for your children, I will give you my true love, and move you with my sincerity without calculation, such as to Zhao Hui. Zhou Lin in the original work by
is very charming, courageous and capable of doing things.
relied on Zhou Lin's operation to successfully help the company she worked for go public.
In front of Zhao Hui, Zhou Lin has never looked like the frustrated and pitiful mother in the drama who is waiting for a man to redeem her. For a person like Zhou Lin, she has taken care of all aspects of her life. Not only that, She also helped Zhao Hui a lot.
In the original work, Zhao Hui not only had an eldest daughter, Zhao Rui, but also a younger son, Zhao Dong. Because Zhao Rui had problems with her eyes after she was born and might become blind in the future, Zhao Hui and Li Ying gave birth to a son, Zhao Dong, in order to have someone to take care of their daughter in the future.
Zhao Hui raises two children by himself and has no financial difficulties, but the family still encounters many problems, such as his son's adolescent rebellion and his daughter's helplessness and despair.
Zhou Lin helped him sort out these things.
Zhao Hui later became inseparable from Zhou Lin. It's not that Zhou Lin relies on him, but that he completely relies on Zhou Lin psychologically.
Even before Zhao Hui finally exposed his crime and decided to surrender, Zhou Lin was worried about the safety of his two children. Zhou Lin boldly assured Zhao Hui: "Don't worry! As long as I, Zhou Lin, are here, whoever dares to bully my children, I won't It’s good to bully them!”
When I read the original article and read this, I felt that Zhou Lin was really a very sassy and wonderful woman.
But in the play, Zhou Lin has become a "silly and sweet" incompetent middle-aged woman who relies on men for salvation.
career turned out to be the owner of a small copy shop. It just makes me laugh to death.
Such a woman who seems to have no temperament or charm, no emotional intelligence, and no emotional value can actually be obsessed with Zhao Hui, the bank president, and Su Jianren, the authentic "second generation silver generation", to the point of death. .
Does the screenwriter and director treat Zhao Hui and Su Jianren as fools and the audience as fools?
Zhou Lin, played by Long Ni, became the biggest failure of the plot and actors in "City Within a City" and the most frowned-upon character.
This is not only the fault of the actor's acting skills, but also inseparable from the failure of the adaptation of this character.
A charming female character in the original novel not only lost all her charm in the drama version, but also brought down the plot and look of the entire drama. The actor Long Ni was also defeated because of the inappropriate role of "Zhou Lin". All the good audience connections that I had finally built up before were gone.
