Seeing that there are only more than two months left in 2024, looking back at this year’s domestic drama market, there are many surprises.
first made its return after four years with " Celebrating More Than Years 2", followed by the costume detective drama "The Tang Dynasty's Mysteries: Journey to the West" and the suspenseful crime-themed " Bianshui Past Events ", which became dark horses that suddenly emerged.
The realistic-themed "山花花天" even scored a high score of 9.4 on Douban, becoming the most acclaimed work in the domestic drama market this year.
However, period dramas that have performed stably in the past have failed this year. Except for the "South and North" released at the beginning of the year, which has a good reputation, the audience can't even think of other period dramas.
However, this does not mean that period dramas will withdraw from the market competition. Rather than saying that they have "declined", it is better to say that period dramas are waiting for an opportunity to gain momentum.
And this time is now.
" Alley People" has been launched. After only 3 episodes, the ratings directly exceeded 2.
I watched three episodes in one go. The plot of this drama is grounded, the characters are vivid, and the actors' acting skills are amazing. It is indeed the drama that the audience has been waiting for for a year, and it definitely did not disappoint the audience.
01The plot is real and full of fireworks
" Alley People " tells the story of Huang Ling ( Yan Ni) and Zhuang Chaoying ( Li Guangjie ) and their family of four moved into Suzhou Cotton Spinning Co., Ltd. in the late 1970s. In the alley of the factory, she became neighbors with Song Ying (played by Jiang Xin) and Lin Wufeng (played by Li Guangjie).
The two families supported each other. In the changing tide of the times, the two generations made their own choices and welcomed a new life.
There are two major highlights in this drama, which attracted my attention immediately.
First, it has a strong flavor of the times.
The sense of age is the biggest "killer feature" of this drama. The drama also takes great pains to create an immersive atmosphere of the era.
Song Ying and Huang Ling are both employees of a cotton spinning factory, and their houses were allocated by the cotton spinning factory. They were catching up with the resumption of the college entrance examination, and
Huang Ling's husband, Zhuang Chaoying, became important again as a teacher.
In addition to the events with obvious marks of the times, the Suzhou dialect spoken by the characters from time to time, the meat and vegetables that need to be purchased with tickets, and the team riding 28 big-bar bicycles to welcome the bride, these scenes are all very contemporary.
The vivid scenes in the drama bring the life of that era to life before our eyes. This strong atmosphere of the era is the soul of period dramas.
The second is a real picture of life.
No matter what era you live in, big things, small things, and trivial daily life are inevitable. Compared with over-beautified comfort and over-exaggerated tension, this kind of real joy, anger, sorrow, and joy are life.
In the play, in order to get a house, Song Ying placed her son Lin Dongzhe directly in the house of the factory leader. The son cried in their home, and Song Ying argued in public in the factory before she moved the house.
Compared with Song Ying's strength, Huang Ling has always been frustrated. She was unable to serve dinner after a busy night. Her parents-in-law favored her brother-in-law. Her husband was not only stupid and filial, but also acted aloof and acted like the "blood of a family". Bag".
The seemingly noisy Song Ying family is harmonious and happy, but in the eyes of outsiders, the warm family is full of chicken feathers and has no peace all day long.
These helpless, sad or warm daily life together constitute life. They are cast with a layer of simplicity under the filter of the times, so the sincere ones are more touching and the sad ones are more unforgettable.
Period dramas are all about depicting people in the context of the times and paying attention to reality.
02The lineup is luxurious and the acting skills are amazing
This drama can get such high ratings, half of it is due to the solid plot, and the other half is definitely due to the actors.
ranks first, Jiang Xin.
Jiang Xin is definitely a capable actor. She has created many classic roles in domestic dramas over the years, all of which are still fresh in the audience's memory.
In the new drama, Jiang Xin plays Song Ying, who has a warm, cheerful and outspoken personality.
In the play, Song Ying argued with her neighbor, which was also very eloquent. She was so arrogant that the other party was speechless, and she rolled her eyes when she found that the other party had run away.
But when Song Ying thought about how her son was alone in the past and now has someone to accompany her, the corners of her mouth turned down and she almost cried, but she couldn't help laughing again with tears in her eyes.
Jiang Xin's interpretation of the role of Song Ying was very accurate, and she played the role to life.
ranked second, Yan Ni.
Yan Ni's acting skills are naturally quite solid. The most obvious style of her performance is down-to-earth. No matter what kind of role she plays, she is very convincing, such as Wang Shengnan in "Young Pi", " Mountains and Seas" County Magistrate Yang in ".
In the new drama, Yan Ni plays the role of Huang Ling. She has a gentle, simple and sensible personality, and Yan Ni is already in the role as she stands.
In the play, Huang Ling was chopping ribs and singing at the same time, and she was beaming with joy. However, Zhuang Chaoying's words that her parents-in-law were coming over directly extinguished Huang Ling's enthusiasm. The smile on her face went from sincere to stiff to disappearing, and her mood was turned upside down.
Yan Ni still showed her acting skills at the post-visual level in this drama.
ranked third, Li Guangjie.
Li Guangjie is also a capable actor. He performed very well in "The Wind Blowing Pinellia" and " County Party Committee Courtyard ". In
's new drama, Li Guangjie plays Lin Wufeng, who is knowledgeable about the world, but also sincere and kind.
Lin Wufeng is a good husband and a good father. In the play, Song Ying came to drive Huang Ling away. Lin Wufeng said nothing and stared at the opposite side with an unkind expression. This was also his support for Song Ying.
Li Guangjie is so suitable for the role of Lin Wufeng.
ranked fourth, Guo Xiaodong.
Audiences are definitely no strangers to Guo Xiaodong. Although he has not had many outing works in recent years, he has also been active in many film and television dramas. In
's new drama, Guo Xiaodong plays Zhuang Chaoying, who is weak when things happen but always criticizes his wife.
In the play, Zhuang Chaoying listened to Lin Wufeng's persuasion with an angry look on her face. On the contrary, the scene where she said that her parents were not easy made the audience very angry.
Guo Xiaodong accurately presented the selfishness and arrogance of this character.
In addition, there are actors such as Liu Jun and Chi Peng in the play, and young actors such as Guan Xiaotong, Wang Anyu, and Fan Chengcheng are also in the play. Their performances in the subsequent plots are also worth looking forward to.
03 Conclusion
In this October when ancient puppet dramas gather together, this "Alley People" is like a cup of hot tea in the cold wind, drinking it in one sip will warm you from head to toe.
This drama uses reality as the background and the era as the filter to depict real life and sincere feelings. Although there are some plots that make blood pressure soar, the overall tone is still warm and joyful.
This is what attracts the audience to the period drama. The traces it carries are also the memories of a generation. It is difficult not to make the audience empathize.
