As the end of the year approaches, a period drama finally comes out.
The long-awaited "Alley Family" has finally started airing. In just a few episodes, everyone can feel the strong atmosphere of the times.
The workers in the factory are dressed up, looking at the tile-roofed houses and the three-wheeled bicycles with big red flowers hanging on them. Every scene takes the audience back to the 1970s and 1980s.
is worthy of being the Noon Sunshine who has produced works such as "Parental Love" and "Children of the Qiao Family". It still outputs steadily on this kind of subject matter and can save everyone's drama shortage.
After watching the first four episodes, from the plot to the actors, there are surprises everywhere.
1, focusing on two families in an alley, with a strong atmosphere of human life
"Homes in an Alley" depicts the daily life of the Zhuang and Lin families who are assigned to a house and become neighbors, to show the atmosphere of human life in the alley. The first three scenes give people the feeling of being on the scene, as if they are living in an alley.
The first scene is to divide the houses.
In an era when houses needed to be divided according to people, it was a big deal to be able to get a house.
But because of this, the division of houses itself means more monks and less meat. Song Ying (played by Jiang Xin ) went directly to the secretary's house in order to be assigned a house so that her children could go to school and she could go to work.
Taught the children how to speak well in advance, and then sent the children to the secretary's house. The next day, they argued with the director and got the house in a spoiled way.
The secretary promised to allocate the house to them, but after using their family Lin Wufeng (played by Li Guangjie) for convenience, he turned his back and refused to recognize anyone. Song Ying had no choice but to make this decision. The house was allocated to them, but the progressive elements did not. Think about it.
Although she worked hard, she ended up offending her boss. Song Qian was assigned a house, but she felt bad in her heart.
The big drama of dividing houses came to an end, and Song Ying was labeled as a prick, but it also showed that Song Ying and her family lived soberly, and they only wanted to live a good life for their small family.
The second scene, moving.
With the preparation for a house allocation, Song Ying's family lived a happy life after being allocated a house.
In sharp contrast is the family of Huang Ling (played by Yan Ni). In order to be able to participate in the college entrance examination marking, her husband knew that his family was going to move, so he neither asked his brothers and sisters to help nor ignored it.
Huang Ling could only take her two children and move from place to place on a tricycle.
Song Ying's family helped Huang Ling move furniture and plugged up the holes in the yard, which could be said to have helped Huang Ling's family solve a big problem.
Huang Ling’s husband is a teacher and has a good reputation, but it is Huang Ling who pays the price behind the scenes. Song Ying and her husband, because they thought about themselves in everything, became a thorn in the eyes of the neighbors, but they still lived a happy life.
The third scene, eating meat.
In that era when people had to buy food and meat with rationed food stamps and meat stamps, being able to eat a meal of meat was so much fun.
But Huang Ling, who finally queued up to buy meat, was told by her foolish and filial husband that her parents-in-law and their family were bringing their son and daughter-in-law to dinner. Huang Ling, who was happily chopping ribs and singing at the same time one second, was so happy the next second. I'm so angry.
So the braised pork ribs became stir-fried shredded radish, shredded pumpkin and shredded pork. I was definitely not used to this scheming behavior of favoring my husband's family.
The three major scenes not only allow everyone to see the differences between the two families, but also present the daily life of the two families to help each other to the audience in a real and delicate way.
Watching the two families in the play live their lives, it's like living with them in that era, which is real and touching.
Second, Jiang Xinmei has reached a new height, with first-class appearance and temperament
Noon Sunshine The standard for selecting actors has always been to fit the role and have good acting skills, and this " Alley People " is no exception.
In the drama, there are Yan Ni, Guo Xiaodong, , Jiang Xin, Li Guangjie and many other powerful actors who help out and support the backbone of this drama.
But the most amazing one among them is none other than Jiang Xin. The Song Ying she plays is not a person who swallows her anger, but has a fierce personality, is straightforward and cute, and is very lovable to watch.
Compared to Huang Ling, played by Yan Ni, who always worked tirelessly but was still ignored, it was Song Ying who showed unobstructed breasts.
It goes without saying that Jiang Xin’s acting skills are as good as Concubine Hua in "The Legend of Zhen Huan". Everyone has seen her level. This time in "Alley Family", she once again performed the multi-faceted role of Song Ying.
was so determined when he sent the child to the secretary's house, and then turned around and wiped away his distressed tears downstairs, one can feel that this is a person who looks tough on the outside but is actually soft on the inside.
And seeing the child finally having someone to accompany him, smiling and unable to hold back his tears, was very touching.
But the audience who had some predictions about Jiang Xin's acting skills must not be surprised that Jiang Xin showed such a level of acting skills! What's even more surprising is that Jiang Xin successfully lost weight when starring in this drama and returned to the peak of her appearance.
This is not the first time for Jiang Xin to collaborate with Noon Sunshine. She had previously appeared in " Ode to Joy ". But at that time, Jiang Xin had big shoulders and a round waist. Standing with other slender female stars, one person looked bigger than two.
But the character she plays is as beautiful as a flower, able to charm the rich second generation, which makes people a little bit amused. The acting skills and looks hold up, but the figure is too bloated and lacks a sense of empathy.
Nowadays, being bulky has become a thing of the past. Jiang Xin, who has lost weight, has become a real retro beauty, with a palm-sized face and a well-proportioned figure. Even if she wears several layers of clothes, she will not feel bloated.
This not only makes her and Li Guangjie look more right, but also fits Song Ying's beautiful yet slightly stinky persona.
In the play, Jiang Xin has her hair half-tied and is dressed in a way that was unique to that era. She nailed the role as soon as she appeared.
After Jiang Xin lost weight, she did not have an obvious sense of age. At 41 years old, she looked like she was in her early 30s, which was more in line with the age of the character she played.
This is enough to show that for powerful actors, even if they do not rely on their face and figure to make a living, maintaining a perfect condition will be more conducive to interpreting their roles.
Conclusion
The sunshine at noon finally started to shine.
Many of his previous works have failed one after another. Even "County Party Committee Courtyard" directed by Kong Sheng, who has never failed to win, has a reputation that is hovering around the passing mark.
But this year, there was first an urban drama "Mortal Song" and then a period drama "Alley People", which made Noon Sunshine fully regain its vitality and regained its position as the top brother of Chinese dramas.
It can be predicted that this "Alley Family" will compete with "Children of the Qiao Family". Judging from the rhythm and quality of the first few episodes alone, it even reaches the level of "Parents' Love".

I look forward to this "Alley Family" starting another period drama craze!
What do you think of the quality of this drama? Are you surprised by Jiang Xin's transformation?
