This year’s domestic dramas seem to have stalled since " Blossoms ". The only one that has some discussion, "Storm Chaser" has set off the spy war fever, and finally one "Harbin 1944" poured cold water on spy war fans.
Wait, wait, I'm afraid the audience still has to pin their hopes on CCTV.
It is reported that the short drama "My Altay" will be launched on CCTV prime time on May 7. Judging from the quality content and cast of this drama, "My Altay" has obvious explosive qualities and is likely to become the first half of the year. A word-of-mouth drama out of the circle.
The layout is full and full of attractions. The high-quality short dramas are worth looking forward to.
The TV series "My Altay" is a short drama with only 8 episodes. The positioning of this TV series is exquisite and mini. The quality of the TV series also makes this TV series The drama became the only Chinese miniseries selected for the main competition section of the Cannes TV Drama Festival.
The play tells the story of Li Wenxiu (played by Zhou Yiran), a Han girl born in Altay, who left Altay to explore the big cities, but due to various difficulties, she returned to her hometown and truly understood and recognized the charm of her hometown.
Judging from the trailer, "My Altay" is a work full of primitive atmosphere, with mountains and grasslands, flocks of sheep splashing with sand, and young people galloping on horseback. The audience is used to urban dramas in which the petty bourgeoisie pretends to be poor. , "My Altay" successfully whetted the audience's appetite with just a touch of green.
The drama "My Altay" creates a world as beautiful as poetry for the audience. In today's fast-paced life, this kind of slow-paced healing works are often better able to resonate with the audience's soul across the screen.
The heroine Li Wenxiu in the play, like all ordinary people, is full of expectations for the splendor and color of big cities. No one wants to stand in a high-rise building in Shanghai's Lujiazui and overlook the Bund, but those who can stand there are either one in ten million or have wealth accumulated over generations.
Most ordinary people cannot feel the prosperity of the metropolis and can only gradually accept the fate of cattle, horses and livestock in the fast-paced life. However, "My Altay" tells the audience that in fact, if you let go of your obsessions, everyone is a free eagle.
Li Wenxiu, who was eager to escape from Altay, returned to his hometown, put down his obsession, and felt the simple nature, enthusiasm and freedom here.
Of course, in addition to the style and concept, the cast of "My Altay" is also destined to be a hit.
A gathering of powerful actors, Yu Shi Shuaifei, Jiang Qiming joined the cast
The drama "My Altay" actually confirmed the cast in early 2023. At that time, the movie "Fengshen" starring Yu Shi had not yet been released, "The Long Season " starring Jiang Qiming has just started airing. As the heroine, Zhou Yiran has a masterpiece, but she is still a little girl with limited popularity.
But under such circumstances, "My Altay" has gathered these three actors. From this point alone, it can be seen that the director's casting criteria did not refer to popularity and traffic, but the casting director has a vicious enough vision. All the stocks picked are potential stocks.
's Yu Shi in "My Altay" simply returned to his comfort zone, and his wild charm blossomed to its greatest extent in the Asak boy Batai.
In the trailer, Yu Shi appears on horseback against the sunset. He has slightly curly short hair and wheat-colored skin. When he leads a horse and walks on the grassland, the word "tall and big" finally materializes.
He is like the prince of the prairie, born with the scent of wildness and freedom. And "handsomeness" is just one of the attraction points that confuses the audience. Yu Shi under the director's lens is simple and simple. In the
trailer clip, he smiled and smeared the sheep shit on the heroine's face, and told the heroine seriously that it "cures frostbite", and then a trace of a proud smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, that little hint of success. Pride is the secret love of young people and the naughtiness of prairie boys.
Yu Shi in "My Altay" is clean, bright, free and unrestrained, and the heroine Zhou Yiran who partners with Yu Shi also makes the audience feel the beauty of healing the soul.
"The world is changing, but it is the only one that remains unchanged."
In the trailer, Zhou Yiran slowly recited this line, which made people feel an inexplicable sadness. In Zhou Yiran's voice, there is the tranquility of returning to the ordinary, and the relaxation of leaving behind the impetuousness. Zhou Yiran is just a girl in her early 20s. She smiles silly in the camera. She wears a pair of glasses and gazes at the simplicity of the grassland with the gentleness of a girl.
She is not appropriately wild, but in a grassland full of wild primitive charm, she is like a piece of jade, like a panacea that heals the soul, making people unable to help but admire her.
In the trailer of "My Altay", Yu Shi and Zhou are still very energetic. In contrast, Jiang Qiming's body is full of melancholy and loneliness.
Jiang Qiming can be said to be the ceiling of wild dog looks. He does not have very delicate facial features, but he has an earthy smell like weed and a primitive and simple sexual tension. In the trailer of "My Altay", Jiang Qiming's hasty flashes of several scenes made people's breath stop and their hearts skip a beat.
His eyes are full of loneliness, and his alone appearance makes people unable to help but hug him. It is this kind of depression that makes the audience more curious about Jiang Qiming's portrayal and image in the play.
Not only that, "My Altay" also has many actors familiar to the audience. Ma Yili plays Zhou Yili's mother in the play. Different from the familiar her to the audience, this time Ma Yili is no longer the Shanghai woman in "Flowers", but a canteen owner on the grassland.
She was wearing the simplest clothes, she was sunburned and deeply tanned, her cheeks were grainy with vicissitudes of life, and the plateau red on her face made her look exactly like the locals. It can be seen from Ma Yili's image breakthrough that she made a lot of efforts for "My Altay".
With the support of these powerful actors, there is really no reason to rush into the drama "My Altay".
Of course, there is another actor who I am so looking forward to in "My Altay".
The TV series "My Altay" itself was actually intended to be made into a movie, but unfortunately the texture of the original work is more literary and artistic. The director and screenwriter only wanted to capture the spiritual core of the original work and the spiritual world of literature and art.
But literary and artistic films are destined to be uncompetitive in the theatrical film market. Therefore, "My Altay" was made into a short drama. The work was almost configured as a web drama, but it still got the chance to star.
It can be seen from the creative sincerity of the director to the screenwriter that "My Altay" is not a gimmick or a work that competes for traffic. And this original intention of creation has actually won at the starting line.
Finally, what are your expectations for "My Altay"? Are you optimistic about this trump card played by CCTV? Join the discussion in the comments section.
