After the modern drama "The Story of Rose" starring Liu Yifei and Tong Dawei was aired, it faced a lot of controversy.
The first thing that bore the brunt was the heroine Huang Yimei's four love affairs, which caused a lot of complaints, thinking that the heroine was frivolous and had no self-respect.
To borrow a comment from a netizen, the most feudal place for domestic entertainment TV dramas is really not just for words. "In the Clouds" starring Wu Jinyan and Wang Xingyue almost faced the same problem.
Just because the heroine Xue Fangfei, played by Wu Jinyan, has been married, does she become "unclean"? I just don’t quite understand. In ancient times, it was common for emperors to have second marriages. Now in 2024, this is still the trend.
Of course, no matter how many such comments are made, it will not affect the popularity of the two dramas. Today’s audience is still quite rational.
Unlike the fast-paced revenge of "In the Clouds", "The Story of Rose" is a very light-paced story about emotions.
Although there has been teasing on the Internet that these two dramas are going to compete. But I prefer to call the two dramas complementary. After watching this one and watching that one, there is no incompatibility at all.
"The Story of Rose" is simply a paradise for pretty dogs. Except for Tong Dawei, whose appearance may be a little off, the standards of the other main characters are relatively uniform.
Huang Yimei, played by Liu Yifei, prefers to call her Rose. She is indeed like a rose, her appearance is very outgoing, delicate and noble, and her temper is like a rose with thorns.
usually looks quiet and smiles in front of everyone, but when she is bullied by others, her thorns will be exposed.
questioned her as a mistress, and she would reply that she was not sick, so how could she like that old and unattractive person. Faced with a position she was not suitable for, she also dared to take the initiative and fight for her own opportunities.
I really have to find a shortcoming, that is, under Liu Yifei's interpretation, Huang Yimei is really too noble and exquisite, without any sense of age at all.
Her co-star Peng Guanying was really charming when she first appeared, with a high-spirited temperament. As the plot progresses, there is another character who wants to slap him.
looked at Huang Yimei while refusing to admit it. Seeing his operation, you can understand why Huang Yimei, your first love, still deserves to be abandoned.
Huang Zhenhua, played by Tong Dawei, as Huang Yimei's brother, in addition to cleaning up his sister's affairs, he also reconciles various conflicts. Of course, his CP line is also very obvious.
The first one to appear is Bai Xiaohe, an academic woman from a prestigious university, played by Chen Yao. Not only is she beautiful, but she also has a strong aroma of books.
However, their blind date was forced by the situation, and Bai Xiaohe still had his own feelings. Therefore, Huang Zhenhua's final destination is Huang Yimei's boss Su Gengsheng, played by Wan Qian.
Wan Qian is relatively intellectual and is more suitable for Tong Dawei. Both of them are very similar to each other, so they are more suitable for each other. The only thing about
's appearance that was not good was that Zhou Shihui escaped before receiving his certificate because he had a crush on Huang Yimei, but his fiancée invited Lan Yingying.
Lan Yingying wears a red dress and short hair. The older she gets, the more elegant she becomes. Although her acting is very frustrating, it cannot stop her beauty.
Even Tong Dawei and the group of friends waiting outside the Civil Affairs Bureau are on the same level. He looks upright and has no flaws at all.
Among these figures, I also caught a glimpse of a familiar figure. I didn't recognize it at first. Later, after some netizens pointed me out, I discovered that this was Jin Zhong from "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace".
all say that acting in a Qing palace drama is the most important test of an actor's appearance, because he has to shave half of his hair to see whether he is really handsome or fake, which can be seen at a glance.
Although Eunuch Jin Zhong in "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace" is set to be from Wei Yanwan's side, he is a villain.But he is indeed handsome enough, with clear and firm eyes, and he wholeheartedly protects Wei Yanwan.
In a blink of an eye, it has been more than 6 years since "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace" was aired. Wei Yanwan followed Zhong Zhong, experienced doubts, and finally turned around.
Among a bunch of abnormal characters, these two seemed so normal and suddenly became charming. It can only be said that truly good things can withstand the fermentation of time.
The actor who plays Zhong this time, Jiang Xueming, plays Yuan Zheng in "The Story of a Rose". He is a friend of the same company as Huang Zhenhua, played by Tong Dawei, and Zhou Shihui. His role is really small, especially marginal.
I remember Huang Zhenhua’s classic saying that Huang Yimei was handed over to Zhou Shihui for internship because Yuan Zheng seemed unreliable. I didn't expect that the final result was so unexpected.
To be honest, if Jin Zhong hadn't suddenly become popular, not many people would have noticed the character Yuan Zheng. It is indeed a character that can no longer be bordered.
In addition, in this drama, he wears a pot head and glasses, which completely obscures his appearance. If you don't look carefully, you will not be able to recognize him at all.
Who would have thought that Jiang Xueming once played the role of Xie Zhou in the live-action version of "The Master", but few people paid attention to it at the beginning.
can only say that this is the benefit of becoming popular. Because he has a memory point, he can be recognized by the audience, and he still gets attention even if he plays a small supporting role.
Jiang Xueming's real age is actually not very old, he is only about 31 years old now. He also has a tough-guy appearance, not handsome but not ugly either, which is a real challenge for the camera.
So, his resources in recent years are not very good. Generally speaking, I have not acted in many well-known dramas. I have only played supporting roles, and on average, I only play one drama a year.
There is indeed a big gap between whether domestic entertainment is popular or not. It is indeed difficult for him to take this path in the entertainment industry. Unless there is a chance later, it will really be eliminated in a few years.
