CCTV this year has released one ruthless drama after another. After "Hurry" and "The Road of Life", it has come up with a new period drama "The Sea in Dreams".
Familiar Beijing-flavored stories are obviously CCTV’s specialty, and the numbers after the broadcast are quite impressive.
The plot is obviously a major attraction, showing the innocent love in the 1970s so realistically.
The heroine Tong Xiaomei's presence has finally become stronger in recent episodes. She has always been by Xiao Chunsheng's side, carrying her secret love through to the end, but she also responded to the saying "Sometimes the most suitable person is right next to you."
However, Xiao Chunsheng's enlistment once again opened the distance between the two. The former street boss became a new recruit, and what remained unchanged was his rebellious nature.
After his good brother Ye Guohua became the platoon leader, Xiao Chunsheng also became a thorn in everyone's side. There will inevitably be more conflicts in the future. Coupled with the emotional problems with He Hongling, there are too many things to watch.
It can only be said that this drama is a rare fast-paced period drama, and it is no wonder that it is favored by the audience.
However, in addition to the brilliant plot, the actors are also the best guarantee of the quality of the drama. Not only are they popular, but their looks are also eye-catching. The two actors told the audience how important looks are.
In fact, this is not the first time that Xiao Zhan has appeared in a period drama. His role as Gu Yiye in "Ace Force" was impressive.
However, Xiao Chunsheng and Gu Yiye in "The Sea in Dreams" are two characters with very different personalities. The latter is serious and serious, and it is not inconsistent to appear with a straight face, while the former is a straightforward Beijing guy who needs Acting vividly.
In order to get closer to the character, Xiao Zhan deliberately learned a Beijing accent, but he spoke it too hard, causing many real Beijing audiences to complain that it was too awkward and non-standard. It seemed that he was not sufficiently prepared.
In addition, in terms of performance, Xiao Zhan has improved a bit compared to his previous acting skills, but not much.
The main reason is that there is a big personality gap between myself and the character. I can't act out that wild and uninhibited feeling. I can only force myself to be in a concave state. Sometimes I smile crookedly and evilly, still in the style of an idol drama.
But fortunately "appearance is justice", Xiao Zhan's face can still crush all the actors of the same period even if it is placed in a period drama.
He is rather bookish, but his face is angular, his facial features are three-dimensional, and his nose is high. As long as his skin is darkened, he looks like a handsome guy in the 70s and 80s. He is quite upright, like a big boy. Fan'er is very good at it.
It is not difficult to see that period dramas generally do not help actors in terms of appearance. On the contrary, they are the best way to test their appearance. Once you put on a general's coat and a big cotton hat, without any clothes, you can only look like a passerby in an instant. Even rustic.
However, Xiao Zhan's height of 183.6 cm can be called a walking clothes rack, and he is unique in wearing a military coat with a show-like style. With the little brothers behind him to help out, he walks with wind and full aura.
There is also Xiao Zhan in military uniform, which makes people dream back to the "Ace Force" period. Wearing military uniforms in that era can probably kill female audiences of all ages, right?
Only when you see Xiao Zhan's face can you understand why the two heroines, He Hongling and Tong Xiaomei, fell in love with Xiao Chunsheng at first sight.
As long as the image and temperament fit the role, even if there are some shortcomings in the acting, it won't make people laugh. Moreover, Xiao Zhan's overall performance is remarkable. He handles the emotional line very delicately. It can be seen that the idol drama was not in vain. He looks at everyone with extremely affectionate eyes. The parting look with He Hongling was really heartbreaking.
There is also the realization of the dream. The reddish eyes after successfully enlisting in the army can't help but make people feel sad. It can be said that the director did not choose the wrong person when looking for Xiao Zhan to take the lead.
Liu Ruilin is regarded as a "second male lead professional" in the audience's mind. After all, he looks sunny, handsome, and fair. At first glance, he looks like a young man from a good family. He does not look like a male protagonist who has gone through hardships. Therefore, he has always relied on his role as the second male lead. Out of the circle.
In the new drama, he once again took on the role of the second male lead, playing the role of Ye Guohua, who comes from a distinguished family. His parents are both prominent figures in the military region. He was pampered and grew up, and he acted willfully and recklessly. He only rushed forward without thinking, and every time he caused trouble, he He asked Xiao Chunsheng for help again with a confused look on his face.
He thought that brothers were greater than anything else in his heart, but after meeting He Hongling, he ignored it and said he wanted fair competition. However, he failed and was completely embarrassed.
But we should also be willing to admit defeat, bless Xiao Chunsheng and He Hongling who have confirmed their relationship, and then let go with peace of mind and keep their distance. But while he was in the army, he was still evil-minded and would always act like a "licking dog" and take good care of the second female lead. What's the difference between this and poaching his brothers?
To be honest, if it weren't for Liu Ruilin's face, Ye Guohua, this annoying guy, would probably be scolded bloody.
Liu Ruilin's temperament matches Ye Guohua very well. With his delicate appearance and height of 180cm, he is not too inferior to Xiao Zhan.
Moreover, the small inner eyes have a sense of insensitivity, which can also be described as "dog eyes". Looking at the heroine pitifully, she really feels like she has been abandoned.
In fact, judging from the status of the leading actors, Xiao Chunsheng is more suitable to be with Tong Xiaomei. Their auras complement each other. One is outgoing and unbridled, while the other is reserved, quiet and gentle. Sitting together is very harmonious.
He Hongling looks relatively cold and has a bit of arrogance in her personality, which is suitable for Ye Guohua's "silly and sweet" setting. This is why many viewers like this pair of CPs.
But no matter what, Liu Ruilin saved this role with his appearance. Some "annoying" Ye Guohua can also rely on his appearance to get out of the circle, which shows how important appearance is to an actor.
The drama "The Sea in Dreams" has many flaws.
For example, the service road is not real, there is no garbage on the streets, the scene is too new, etc. It is obvious at a glance.
But the advantages are also obvious. The plot design has ups and downs, and one conflict after another keeps the audience's appetite. It is also different from previous TV series. The male and female protagonists have no emotional lines in the early stage, and they are gradually revealed as the plot develops, giving it a more flowing feeling.
In addition, the actors brought too many surprises to the audience.
In this entertainment industry where appearance determines everything, inviting a top actor like Xiao Zhan to be the male lead is more than half the success without having to act.
Even period costumes are easy to style.
The second male lead Liu Ruilin also performed well, stealing the spotlight with both his image and temperament. We look forward to new highlights in their looks after the background changes in the future.
