It is said that every time Master Huang succeeds, he will reward himself with a movie of Overbearing President.
I didn’t believe it before, but I believe it today.
No, some time ago, Huang Xiaoming just won the Golden Goblet Award for his role as a disabled young man in " Sunshine Club ".
Then, his new drama "红热" was launched.
I watched four episodes in a row last night, and the familiar taste came back immediately.
oh!
html is 146 years old and still plays the role of a college student. Let’s take care of the audience’s feelings!——"Red Heat"
"Red Heat" is a business war drama starring Huang Xiaoming, Wang Ou, Zhang Chao, Li Zhiting.
This play is adapted from the novel "The Moonlight Code". The IP value is not very high, but with the leader Huang in charge, it is given great value.
However, the distribution of this series is very strange.
On the one hand, it is broadcast on CCTV 8 prime time, and it is a drama with official seal.
But on the other hand, there is very little publicity on the Internet, almost airborne broadcast.
This has led to the situation that although there is such a strong lineup, it only ranks 10th in the popularity of online broadcasts.
One is supported by CCTV and the other is airborne.
Why does this drama have such a polarizing pattern on TV and the Internet? After watching four episodes of
, I may have the answer -
is clearly afraid that young people will watch it.
After "Red Heat" aired last night, the negative reviews couldn't stop.
Most netizens basically have one thought after reading this:
Huang Xiaoming is 46 years old, why is he still playing the role of a college student?
The history of a group of middle-aged people’s university entrepreneurship
The plot of "Red Heat" is not difficult to understand. To put it bluntly, it is the drama version of "Chinese Partners". At the beginning of the
scene, "Zhang Haichao" played by Huang Xiaoming is the CEO of a semiconductor chip company. His business war with " Huang Zhongkai " (played by Li Zhiting) has entered a fierce stage.
Seeing that he was losing ground, Huang Zhongkai was furious.
He privately contacted the FBI in the United States and arrested Zhang Haichao's wife "Huang Linxi" (played by Wang Ou) on the grounds of smuggling.
In order to save his wife, Zhang Haichao needed to find a bail of US$5 million within a short period of time. Taking into account the company's image issues, he also had to fake a divorce from his wife.
This section is a standard "high-energy opening", using a high-paced plot to engage the audience. Except for a bunch of names that need to be remembered within 15 minutes,
is quite satisfactory and has no flaws.
But then, starting from the second half of the first episode, the plot took a turn for the worse and began to reminisce about the male and female protagonists’ college days, so the time moved from 2008 to 1997.
At this time, the protagonists are still young and ignorant college students.
I was shocked when I saw it. They were actually played by Huang Xiaoming and Wang Ou themselves!
If you look closely at her appearance, you will feel like you are an acquaintance pretending to be young.
Huang Xiaoming has super thick bangs and sideburns, coupled with a pair of thick frames, which blocks almost 30% of his face area.
Even in this situation, it’s okay to not move. As soon as you move, you can see the obvious loss of collagen on the face, sunken eye sockets, and layers of wrinkles.
It can be seen that the photographer, lighting artist, and makeup artist have tried their best. The three groups of people cooperated with each other and tried not to make Huang Xiaoming show his age.
Therefore, Huang Xiaoming in the play is almost always close-up.
With the support of lighting, makeup and powerful post-production, the director is obviously very satisfied with Huang Xiaoming's state.
But all prospects are revealed.
The overall proportions are seriously imbalanced, showing the figure of a middle-aged man.
Moreover, the most aging part of a person is the eyes. Fortunately, Huang Xiaoming has glasses to cover it, but this is not the case with the heroine Wang Ou.
Rugged facial lines, loose skin, endless hairline...
Especially the tired eyelids, the stylist racked his brains, covering them with two-color large eye shadow, and blocking them with bangs, but Still can't cover up the feeling of time coming towards my face.
Can you believe she is a college student?
Third aunt, remember to buy groceries when you get home.
In addition to eyelids, he also has hands, which are also business cards of age.
Wang Ou wears heavy makeup, covering as much of his face as possible, and wears as much color as he can on his body.
But the filling is leaked as soon as you reach out.
Let’s just say, there are so many people on the set, can’t we hire a young replacement?
That’s it, the male and female protagonists still have to stage a pure love scene.
The love between the two is a woman chasing a man. When Wang Ou saw Huang Xiaoming for the first time, he was deeply attracted by his appearance and lost his head in handsomeness.
's sentence "You are so handsome" makes me feel a little chilly in the dog days of summer.
Of course, we still have to admit that for middle-aged people, Huang Xiaoming and Wang Ou are still in top-notch condition. To say "old" is a bit exaggerated, but they can still remain handsome and beautiful.
But age cannot be deceived at all.
In order to "deceive" the audience, most directors have this group of "middle-aged college students" group together to make the audience less sensitive to age.
But once you see real college students in the camera, the gap between the two generations is immediately apparent.
Looking at the picture above, there is still an insurmountable gap between pretending to be young and being really young.
In order to deceive the audience, or even deceive themselves, they have to work hard to learn the movement habits of college students and jump around with their bodies in their late fifties.
For example, Wang Ou not only winks and shows his teeth and claws when talking, but also jumps up and down on his feet.
To be honest, I don’t think she is very lively when watching this paragraph, but she is a little sad.
Third aunt, take a rest when you are tired, don’t hurt your knees.
But it’s okay. As mentioned above, although Huang Xiaoming and Wang Ou are both in their forties, their maintenance is pretty good, at least their appearance is passable.
to others is a complete disaster.
html Zhang Chao in 1888, Huang Cailun in 1985, and Li Zhiting in 1987 all put on sportswear and acted like college students. Those who knewwere acting, but those who didn’t knew thought that parents of students were here to experience youth.
The most outrageous one is Zeng Meihuizi. She was born in 1988 and is not too big among them.
But the problem is that the body posture management is out of control, and the face really looks old. When the plot introduces her as a college student, I feel that I need self-hypnosis to believe it.
Let’s just say that a golden actress can’t ruin herself like this, right?
Is this a college student?
And the scene when she and Huang Cailun appeared was even more stunning.
From the hairline to the heels, it looks like a seven-star ladybug falling into a dye vat.
plot introduction: They are lovers, and I think they are clearly siblings.
Is this a college student? !
What I can’t stand even more is that the second female actor Shi Shi is the youngest in the cast, born in 1990.
But even those born in the 90s still can't hold onto the "college student" persona. Under the heavy make-up, you can still see the tired corners of the eyes and two thick nasolabial folds.
Hey, it’s too painful to watch a group of middle-aged people acting as college students.
The acting is also very eye-catching
The plot has nothing to introduce. As mentioned before, this is the drama version of "Chinese Partner".
Huang Xiaoming is still "Hollywood", a pragmatic and stable straight man with a lot of skills. In the later stage, he will inevitably become a domineering president and win the heroine to reach the peak of life.
Zhang Chao's character perfectly replicates Deng Chao's "Meng Xiaojun". He is impulsive, full of idealism, and will not give up until he achieves his goal.
In addition, there are also " Wang Yang " alternatives to Tong Dawei , which act as a lubricant for the friendship between one man and two men.
Apart from the fact that there is no love and one cannot fall in love with Du Juan for the first time, it cannot be said that they are completely different, at least they are exactly the same.
Of course you may have seen the story. In order to increase the interest, the actors took great pains and tried their best in the performance.
For example, Li Zhiting performed with high energy from the beginning. The company
was about to be acquired. He was furious and gasping for breath, but was this performance too exaggerated? Is it possible that
is foreshadowing that the character has asthma?
and Wang Ou.
's character is a college student, there is a big gap in age, but his character is still very lively, which makes Wang Ou not only have to act young, but also perform the rhythm of youth.
So even when she speaks in daily life, she tries her best to use her facial features, even her neck is not idle, and her expressions can be as exaggerated as possible. The acting teacher of
is Ma Sichun ?
As for Huang Xiaoming, he still performed "stable".
is the same as "China Partner" 11 years ago, being a careerist who does not compete with the world.
Finally
In short, after watching 4 episodes of "Red Heat", I found that the plot is relatively smooth and there are not many flaws.
Only the characters of these "middle-aged college students" and the heroine are annoying.
Of course, I am not creating age anxiety. After all, everyone ages. I am just saying that actors must choose suitable roles at different ages.
For example, in this drama, the college students can be replaced by young actors. Why let a group of 40+ people forcefully act young? It can also provide more opportunities for newcomers.
Let the boss continue to dominate and give opportunities to young people.
