Time into November, after several dramas such as "Breakout" and "Sea of Stars" were smashed down one after another, the domestic drama market finally began to be lively again.
Of course, CCTV, which has been rushing to the forefront, is not far behind and has begun to exert frequent efforts. First of all, a "Boat of Peace" turned out, and the ratings of the second episode easily broke 1, and dominated the top 3 of the national ratings list, and the ratings achievement should not be underestimated.
And the reputation of "Boat of Peace" is even better, a 4-star, 5-star praise on Douban, and the audience has begun to spontaneously Amway, which can really be described as ratings and word-of-mouth flying together.
And "The Boat of Peace" is still popular, CCTV another new drama "Caster" attacked, "Caster" has successfully landed on CCTV eight sets, and updated to the 4th episode, although the starring is not traffic, but the plot is really more and more addictive.
Based on Dong Xingmei's novel "Half Yuanjun", "The Caster" tells the story of two generations who jointly experienced the development of factories and businesses in the early years of the Republic of China, the protection of factories and factories during the War of Resistance Against Japan, the pain of bombing factories, and then the bumpy fate of rebuilding factories.
From the theme point of view, "Caster" is a typical period drama, and the same happened in the Republic of China years, the same formation of national enterprises, but also the boycott of the Japanese Kou, this drama is actually in the spiritual core, and "The Gate of the Great House" is very similar.
In the story, the three brothers of the Murong family, the eldest Murong Song is the president of the Chamber of Commerce and is committed to running the school, the second Murong Bai concentrates on the factory and wants to build his own diesel engine that belongs to the Chinese, while the third Murong Feng is quite fashionable and well-connected, the three have their own strengths, and they are more affectionate than Jinjian, so what dog blood house fight can not happen at all.
At the beginning of the play, the eldest brother talks with all parties at the dinner table, and the second young grandmother is late, but as soon as she arrives, she ruthlessly exposes the hypocrisy of the villain. Singing and harmonizing with the eldest brother two occupies the upper hand in conversation.
On the other hand, the second boss who went undercover into the Japanese factory worked diligently and tried to sneak out with the stolen parts, but was searched by the Japanese, seeing that the incident was about to be revealed, but the Japanese did not find out.
It turned out that Master Dong of the same factory watched from the sidelines, and unconsciously transferred the parts to the wine pot, so he escaped the disaster, and the second brother also began to learn from Master Dong.
However, things are not smooth sailing, the second brother went home after learning, but the diesel engine that was hard to make failed, at this time, the third invited back experts from abroad, the two clashed due to different concepts, but they reconciled because of their love for mechanical manufacturing.
At a time when they were at a loss for repairing the diesel engine, the two of them got a sense from the iron, and it turned out that "outer rigidity and inner softness" was the mystery.
But the two who were excited did not know that the ordeal belonging to the Murong family had just begun.
In addition to the focus on the quality of the plot itself, the most attractive thing about "The Caster" is its cast.
In the first few episodes, the one who can leave a deep impression on the audience is Master Dong, played by Li Youbin. Li Youbin is a familiar old actor, and a "Bright Sword" has made it popular all over the country.
In "Bright Sword", Li Yunlong, played by Li Youbin, is always black-faced, wearing dirty clothes, and opening his mouth is an uncivilized shouting and shouting to kill, but it is only this imperfection that is more real, and Li Yunlong's "soil" does not know how many people's faces have been punched.
This time, in "The Caster", Li Youbin played Master Dong, who was wearing a work uniform and bending over when he appeared, looking curiously at the Japanese who taught people, but the work in his hands did not stop, and the technique was sophisticated and implied persistence.
As soon as the camera turned, Master Dong helped Er Shao evade the Search of the Japanese, but did not approve of the act of stealing parts, one hand behind his back, the other finger er Shao, slightly hunched over, the opening is an exhortation to the future generations, the whole is a kind old senior.
And when the two talked, when Master Dong ridiculed Er Shao, Li Youbin was squinting and laughing, showing ease and love for Er Shao between his hands and feet, and the three emotions were transformed by Li Youbin naturally and without leaving a trace, it seems that our "old Li" is still not old.
At the same time, the old drama bone Hou Yong also starred in "The Caster", and Hou Yong's strength is also beyond doubt, whether it is Yin Quliang in "The Fission of the Great Qin Empire", Zhao Dehan in "The Name of the People", or Wei Factory Director in "Ideal Shines on China", all of which are flesh and blood.
With so many excellent cases in front, Hou Yong's performance in "The Caster" is also very exciting.
In addition, Ren Chengwei, who played his brother-in-law Xue Junshan in "Battle Changsha", Hu Yilang Zhang Lei in "The Silent Truth", and He Yanni, who played Shenggu in "The Legend of the Immortal Sword", also joined "Caster", and the veteran editors of this lineup really loved.
Although in terms of the sense of historical heaviness, "Caster" is far from enough compared to "The Gate of the Big Mansion", but the advantages of this drama are also very rich, with a kind of eloquent posture, to tell the heavy history, coupled with Li Youbin, Hou Yong and other old drama bones, the viewing experience of "Caster" is excellent.
At present, the ratings and popularity of "The Caster" are not prominent, it is likely that most of the audience has not yet discovered this treasure, the more wonderful the drama is, the more interested the audience can try to watch it.
