It’s finally the noon sunshine’s turn to feel proud!
He was once the leading actor in Chinese dramas, but he has fallen over frequently in the past two years. While being held back by the best female IP " Ode to Joy " series, at the same time, it was questioned because the final chapter of the "大江大河" series was of lower quality than the previous two films.
Coupled with dramas such as "Meeting Season" and " County Party Committee Courtyard " whose reputation hovers around the passing line, it is tantamount to nailing the noon sun to the pillar of shame.
But is the first brother of the Chinese drama really exhausted? of course not!
If you just look at the upcoming dramas of Noon Sunshine, you will know that any one of them will be a hit.
For example, "Alley People" starring Yan Ni, Li Guangjie, Guo Xiaodong, Jiang Xin, Fan Chengcheng, Guan Xiaotong and other young and middle-aged talents is the period drama that Noon Sunshine is best at.
Another example is Yin Tao's collaboration with Wang Xiao in "Mortal Song". The strong audience popularity of these two actors alone is enough to push the ratings boom to its peak.
Of course, the real trump card is this poverty alleviation drama with a selected lineup - "The Tree of Life".
It is reported online that the male and female protagonists will be played by Yang Zi and Hu Ge. When you see the name of the screenwriter, you will know that this drama is stable.
1, Yang Zi + Hu Ge, strange casting, a real duo of kings
To be honest, the noon sunshine brings Yang Zi and Hu Ge together, which makes people feel a little bit excited.
There is no other reason. The development paths of the two are very different.
One is a popular star. The dramas released in recent years are mostly works related to sweet pets and love, such as "Long Time Love" and " Sauvignon Blanc ".
is a person who takes the powerful route. Although he can be regarded as the top of the uncle circle due to his appearance and popularity, compared to his popularity and topicality, everyone pays more attention to his works and strength.
From the perspective of the work style, the focus is on trying various possibilities, including the period drama " Blossoms " and the family film " Stop and Go ".
Putting these two people together, the intuitive feeling is that they don't match. But it is such a strange choice that makes people look forward to it.
The reason is also very simple. Both of them have excellent acting skills.
I believe that everyone will not be surprised to see Hu Ge acting in a poverty alleviation drama. After all, in "County Party Committee Courtyard", he played Secretary Mei, who was also assigned to local poverty alleviation in a sense.
Although Hu Ge may no longer play a grassroots leader in "The Tree of Life", this type of subject matter is not unfamiliar to him.
But Yang Zi is different.
From the works chosen by Yang Zi, it is not difficult to see that she does not have the intention to transform, but every time she tries a new genre, she has to return to her own dominance in order to ensure her popularity and popularity.
entered the big screen and tried comedy. He collaborated with Jia Ling in " Hot Hot " and also played a tearful role in the disaster movie " Fire Heroes ".
has also challenged industry dramas such as "Female Psychologist" and portrayed the image of a psychologist.
But it is obvious that Yang Zi's transformation path is not going smoothly. The most popular ones are still dramas such as "Agarwood Like Chips" and "Sauvignon Blanc".
As age increases, 90-year-olds like Yang Zi will also be eliminated by this type of market, and transformation is imperative. Therefore, choosing a script like "The Tree of Life" is the most direct for Yang Zi.
Maybe Yang Zi’s appearance is not the best in the 90-flower camp, but no one can be her opponent in terms of acting skills. And for poverty alleviation dramas like "The Tree of Life", it does not focus on appearance, but on acting skills. Yang Zi can naturally be targeted.
If you look at the traffic actors selected by Noon Sunshine in the past, you will know that popularity is just the icing on the cake. In the final analysis, it is strength.
From Huang Xuan to Zhang Yixing to Yang Zi, Noon Sunshine still adheres to this selection standard.
The joining of Hu Ge is undoubtedly the strongest boost for this drama. It can be said that "The Tree of Life" chose a pair of powerful and evenly matched Wang Zha combination.
Second, the Tibetan version of "Mountains and Seas", the main creative team has become the highlight
With such a cast that will make your eyes shine, let's take a look at the story and main creative team of "The Tree of Life".
This drama looks at various major events in the ecological protection and development process of Qinghai Tibetan area through the perspective of a lost little girl.
Bai Ju, who is passionate about turning around his impoverished hometown, led by Dorje, Secretary of the Party Committee of Nagqu County, and a group of people exposed the dark past of the destruction of Bo Lamu Lagao due to private gold mining.
An accidental trip to Qinghai’s no-man’s land revealed the huge secret hidden behind it.
Bai Ju and Secretary Dorje have been walking side by side for many years on the road of desperate environmental protection. During this period, they have been entangled and struggled with intricate and confusing evil forces.
During this period, the secretary disappeared unexpectedly, reappeared many years later, and set out again under the leadership of Bai Ju.
They experienced the betrayal of their relatives, the antagonism of teachers and students, and the death of their loved ones. After paying countless prices and even risking their lives, they solved the forces behind the bullying and injustice.
Judging from the story style of this drama, it has certain similarities with "Mountains and Seas", except that the story takes place in the Tibetan area of Qinghai.
Compared with "Mountains and Seas", which depicts more simple customs and customs, "The Tree of Life" has more conflicts and contradictions.
Just the setting of the entanglement and struggle with the evil forces in Tibet adds a sense of visibility to the drama. It can be predicted that the drama will be very interesting.
The creative team that ensures the overall quality of this drama is also worthy of everyone's trust.
Li Xue serves as the director. His representative works include "Nirvana in Fire", "The Pretender", "大江大河2", etc. Judging from the works he directed, the reputation performance is very stable, almost all of them are around 8 points.
Even famous domestic TV drama directors may not be able to perform so stably, which gives everyone the first layer of reassurance.
The screenwriters of "The Tree of Life" are Wang Sanmao and Wang Lei, who have written "The Love of Mountains and Seas". The two have not only collaborated on "The Love of Mountains and Seas" which was rated 9, but also " is pretty good " , "I am Yu Huanshui" and other works.
And Wang Sanmao and Wang Lei are still a father-son combination. It is conceivable that they must have a tacit understanding.
The importance of a good script is self-evident. Even if the director's skills are flawless, it will be difficult to produce a high-quality work without the support of a good script.
With these two screenwriters, the story of "The Tree of Life" will be more watchable.
Conclusion
Perhaps many viewers have criticized Yang Zi for being the heroine, and cannot predict whether she can play the heroine of the main theme drama.
But in fact, this is not the first time that Yang Zi has collaborated with Noon Sunshine. Before that, she had appeared in "Battle of Changsha" with a rating of 9.1. The director of this drama was Kong Sheng, Zhang Kaizhou, and Yang Zi collaborated in the drama. The one is Huo Jianhua who is so red that he turns purple.
If Yang Zi had not taken the route of becoming a popular star, Yang Zi, who debuted as a child star, might have become a TV and movie queen long ago.
believes that after the show "The Tree of Life" is aired, Yang Zi will no longer be the queen's companion, but will become the confirmed queen.
Do you think this "Tree of Life" will be popular? Do you like the pairing of Yang Zi and Hu Ge?
