The TV series " Degrees of Chinese Time " starring Zhao Jinmai and Zhang Linghe is currently on the air. The story tells the story of Li Rong, the eldest princess of the Great Xia Dynasty, and Pei Wenxuan, the consort and prime minister of the dynasty, who fell in love, hated each other, and killed each other. They accidentally returned to 20 years ago and relived their lives to mend their regrets and start over.
"Life in China" is adapted from Mo Shubai's novel "The Eldest Princess". On the 3rd day since it started airing, it has already surpassed 9,500 views on Youku. At the same time, it also set a peak of 7,001 hits on the first day of broadcast.
In the drama, Li Rong, played by Zhao Jinmai, is well-educated, intelligent, and powerful. She seems to have unlimited style. In fact, she is just a pawn for her father to balance the family. The queen mother was more concerned about keeping up with the honor and disgrace of the official family and the prince. In the end, the brother she tried so hard to protect gradually drifted away from her and turned against her. In the end, she was alone. Not even the maid who had been by his side since childhood could die peacefully.
This is the cruelty of imperial power.
Therefore, when Li Rong was reborn and saw the maid Jing Lan who died to save him in the previous life, his first reaction was to pinch her cheek to see if it was true or not.
Jinglan and Jingmei are the two most useful maids around Li Rong. Jinglan is more thoughtful and thoughtful in doing things. She has served the princess since she was a child, and her affection is far beyond what ordinary people can match.
Jinglan is not only capable, but also loyal. The task given by the princess was completed brilliantly, and the princess's orders were absolutely obeyed. The princess said to herself that no matter what she said, it would rot in her stomach. He knew what she was going to do with just one look, and he was ready to greet the princess at any time.
And she is also a person who understands princesses very well. She has pointed out in two lives that the princess actually cares about Pei Wenxuan, but it only takes a step down.
In this life, she watched the hard-working princess quarreling with Pei Wenxuan. Although she lowered her head, she couldn't help but chuckle.
It can be said that the maid who plays Jinglan has some acting skills. Regardless of whether she has the camera or not, she is always in her character state. Smirking, happy with the candy, laughing at the princess's consort's quarrel, lowering his head and pretending to be quail, trying to reduce his sense of presence.
In more or less scenes where the male and female protagonists are in the foreground, the role of Jinglan is always there, but never once does it feel like the background is dispensable. On the contrary, from the blurry state of the picture, you can still see her being involved in the drama.
can be said to be a very dedicated actor. I thought it was a newcomer recruited by the crew from somewhere, but when I opened the cast list, I realized that this was a somewhat familiar "newcomer."
Jinglan was played by Zeng Youzhen, who was born on June 26, 2001. The day of the broadcast was also her birthday. She is an actress, but earlier, she was an internet celebrity.
It took her seven years to transition from a young internet celebrity to filming. In December 2023, "The Young Man Who Sings the Dragon" was launched. Zeng Youzhen played the role of Bian Xiaoxiao, a rural girl who has low self-esteem and tries her best to please her classmates.
A girl who has good internet skills but poor grades, trying hard to stay in a big city.
While watching the drama, Xiao Qing felt that Zeng Youzhen’s performance of this character’s loneliness and contradictions. When I checked the information at that time, I found that she didn't even have the relevant information in the encyclopedia, and the roles she played were all marginal.
She became famous on the Internet from her imitation show, and then transitioned to work in Hengdian. Many people around her gave up, but she was the only one who persisted. So for seven years, she was Xia Meng, the assistant to the big star in "The Dark Night", Su Qingqing in "The Song of Youth", and Lin Miaomiao's assistant in "Pi 2" Ding Jiani, Tong Yiwu in " Perfect Match with Crispy Heart Tang ".
Most of the characters are supporting characters, assisting the leading actors, and proper tools.
She didn't become one of the protagonists until "The Boy Who Calls the Dragon". I thought that "The Boy Who Called the Dragon" became a hit and Zeng Youzhen would have the resources to jump to a new level. But I didn't expect to see her in "The Year of the Flower" 6 months later. Acting as a maid.
However, "Hua Hua Nian" will start filming in October 2023, wrap up in February 2024, and premiere in June.Calculating the time, when "The Young Man Who Screams the Dragon" was first launched, it had not yet aired. Zeng Youzhen was just an unknown artist who had transformed from a small Internet celebrity. He had no masterpieces, no familiarity with the audience, and no good resources.
can participate in an S+ level costume drama, which is quite good.
There is a big difference between Zeng Youzhen's modern makeup and ancient costume. She used her acting skills to portray a girl who lives in a family of others and is particularly good at observing words and expressions. The costumes are simple, the gestures, movements, sitting and lying are all in line with the ancient charm. It doesn't matter if the character is small. Now I am playing eighteen roles, the next one will be 12, the next one will be 5, and the next one will be the supporting female role.
One day, the wish that Zeng Youzhen made in that room separated by a white cloth will come true, and the acting award will also include the best supporting actress. In the first half of 2024, Zeng Youzhen also played Wang Jia in the suspense drama "The Boy Who Can't See a Shadow".
After that, she also participated in the TV series "Hush, the King is Hibernating", in which the female protagonist Yu Shuxin and the male protagonist Lin Yi.
So do you have expectations for this drama? What do you think of Jinglan's performance in "The Year of the Flower"?
