At the end of April, the national drama blew up.
Chen Kun and Bai Yu starred in "The Wind Rises longxi", with a hot costume spy drama, although the TV side ratings are mediocre, but the network popularity is not low at all.
Zhang Yi's criminal investigation suspense drama "The Gate of Rebirth" introduces the theme of theft into the suspense genre, the pace of the episode is fast and brain-burning, and the scene of the suspense drama is once again brought to fire.
Yang 1 broadcast the urban drama "The Covenant of New Home" starring Pan Yueming and Wang Ou, and the ratings continued to rank first in the country.
Lin Xinxin and Tan Songyun's "Please Call Me Director" Oriental Satellite TV was broadcast as soon as it was launched, and it also received a lot of praise.
After a large wave of urban dramas such as "Heart Residence" and "Dear Child" gathered and caused anxiety among audiences, urban light comedy began to become a new hot spot in the recent market.
But among the many types, did you find that the hair is still missing? If there is no such drama, I always feel that the national drama is not enough taste.
On the evening of April 29, the old team of "Breaking into Kanto" shot.
Zhang Xinjian + Gao Mantang, gathered more than 10 acting schools such as Sarina and Li Naiwen, and performed a play -
"Canal Winds".
A legendary drama of the era that has been suppressed for five years can still stir up trouble in the market? It really can.
Quietly and quietly premiered, the series won the second place in the satellite TV ratings for Beijing Satellite TV, second only to "Mountains and Rivers Moon Ming" in last night's finale.
Age legend drama, fire again? Come, go to the banks of the big river together, and take a walk.
1, as soon as the mountain shadow struck, the taste of the great righteousness of the family and the country in the era drama returned
You know, behind "Canal Flow", there is someone.
One by one, it's not small.
First, it is a mountain shadow. Once upon a time, Mountain Shadow produced, must be a fine product. Today's noonday sun is born out of the Mountain Shadow Group.
Second, the choreographer of "Breaking into Kanto".
Screenwriter, high full of halls. This veteran screenwriter, whose representative works "Breaking into the Guandong", "Old Farmer" and "Wenzhou Two Families", has atmospheric and heroic works, with the bloodiness of the Chinese nation, especially good at epic period dramas.
Director, Zhang Xinjian, when "Breaking into the Guandong" was his co-director with Kong Sheng, and now Zhang Kaizhou, who provoked the beam in the noonday sun, was often mistaken for Kong Sheng's apprentice, in fact, if you want to say inheritance, he should be counted as Zhang Xinjian's hand.
Of course, there is also a cast of actors who are simple in appearance and extremely gorgeous in their acting skills.
This group of people is the best at finding stories from China's mountains and rivers, and then pointing at the characters in history like a magnifying glass, enlarging the wind and bones of a generation, and then filling the rich story flesh and blood with imagination.
What story does "Canal Flow" tell? The story of Jining Sanjie.
Jining, Shandong, south of Weishan, east of Qufu, more importantly, the Grand Canal through the city, the world called it "canal capital".
In the early years of the Republic of China, Jining City merchants gathered, three religions and nine streams, five lakes and four seas. As we all know, a magnificent War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression of the Chinese Nation is coming. The vicissitudes of the sea, the true colors of heroes, in the story, who are the heroes?
Huang Zirong, who was an official, Song Lusheng, who was engaged in business, Yang Chunzao, who taught and wrote history, and a cloud of righteous bandits.
Gao Mantang selected a representative from the officials, merchants, writers, soldiers, and bandits, and then looked at how these Chinese sons and daughters played a good drama in that turbulent era.
The first episode of the story is attractive enough, the main characters all appear, but the first shot of the whole series is not for people, but for the Grand Canal that runs day and night.
Next, a handsome middle-aged man stands at the bow of the boat, looking out over the banks of the canal. This is the male protagonist of this drama, Huang Zirong.
Then in the next shot, he was robbed with a boat. Even the wife on the ship, who was pregnant with a child, was also robbed.
Who is robbing the road? It is the heroine who is a cloud.
Robbed, and let people go again. Not only did he let go of him, but he also left his heart in him.
The first encounter of the male protagonist when he returned home was the death of his father.
When the housewife heard the news, she directly fainted, and it was Sarina who played the yellow mother.
All this has always had a pair of eyes, watching in the cold eye. It is the whole drama villain played by Yue Yang - acting governor Hou Liren.
What was he doing staring at the family? Because the election of the governor of Jining County is about to begin, Huang Zirong is the only one who can compete with him.
The best way is to ask the other party not to run. Where to start? He stared at the belly of Huang Zirong's daughter-in-law. Because he suspected that the fetus in this womb was not Huang Zirong's. Can this stop Huang Zirong from electing officials?
But the Huang family has always passed on the family with etiquette, paying attention to a word of etiquette, and when the etiquette is chaotic, the family voice is ruined.
The incision point is found, what to do? Private threat warnings? The villain played by Yue Yang has never been so simple, and what he thinks of is to send Huang Zirong a wonderful play in front of the people of the whole county at the child's full moon feast.
Speechless? He had already sent his men to catch the sister-in-law who delivered the yellow daughter-in-law. It seems that the victory is in hand.
The first episode of the story, at this point, suddenly stops.
So far, but 45 minutes, the story has gone through three major plot points: the male protagonist was robbed, the Huang family's father died, the county governor election began to rise, Gao Mantang laid the groundwork for the plot, from the background of the story, to the point of contradiction and conflict, and then to the follow-up big point of view, telling the story, meticulously, step by step, attracting the audience into the play.
What will happen to the Huang family next, the villain of the child's hundred days feast Yue Yang will not succeed, but how to break the situation? Judging from the trailer, on the day of the election of the county governor, the county official silver was robbed by a piece of moon and his father, and the chief official from the province said that whoever took the money back, the county governor was whoever. How does the story unfold next?
Many questions are curious.
Gao Mantang is worthy of Gao Mantang, whether it is storytelling, or legend is very strong, just one episode has broken out a number of story lines, without the slightest delay and water injection, more importantly, the story of the first episode is just a lead-in.
What leads to it? Truly wonderful, canal flow.
The drama of Gao Mantang is never only a legend, the key is the legend of the people, people's choices, people's beliefs, and people's wonderfulness.
Judging from the trailer, at that fork in the road of history, a real drama of the children of the canal will be staged.
2, the old drama bone drama makes people can't open their eyes, but unfortunately, the heroine's acting skills are almost meaningful
In other words, if "Breaking into Kanto" used some actors with empty heat and no acting skills, and replaced Li Youbin Zhu Yawen with traffic stars, it was not 80% explosive, it would definitely fail.
The drama "Canal Flow", although the actor's popularity is not as good as "Breaking into the Kanto", but the acting skills of the starring actor are not vain at all, and once the performance begins, the acting skills of good actors cannot be covered.
Let's start with the acting winning group.
The first episode is the most eye-catching, Sarina.
As soon as she appeared, the image of the head of the house was established.
Next, every time she appeared, the taste of the era legend drama was one more point.
Especially wonderful, there are two opponent scenes, one is with the male protagonist's son, one is with the daughter-in-law with a big belly, every sentence, is gossip, every sentence, and not only gossip. Behind this is the kung fu of the screenwriter, but also the kung fu of the actor.
To say that Sarina's original line is fantastic, full of breath and without losing a sense of power, especially the timbre, not only very recognizable, but also very clear, completely do not need subtitles, the new love beans can not learn a lesson.
Watching the trailer, sarina angrily rebuked the villain's good drama one after another, and it was very exciting.
Second place, Yue Yang.
In the dramas produced by Mountain Shadow and Noonday Sun, Yue Yang has always been a golden supporting role, acting like nothing, never disappointing.
This time his role supported the drama of the first episode, this little man who was bent on seeking personal gain, clever with cunning, cunning with a hint of humor, and then this character was intimidated by Sarina, and was slapped by the male protagonist, this villain I can look forward to.
Third place, Liu Wei.
In the past, Liu Wei often played the emperor, in fact, from Liu Wei's appearance, it can be seen that he is not only full of masculinity, but also has the pride of the jianghu haojie, so it is most appropriate for him to play the role of a righteous bandit.
Although now he was full of business, he planned to make a good deal with the two candidates for county governor who had been ordered to recover the official money. But in the ensuing War of Resistance, this character did not make any deals with the Japanese, that is, to fight, to do, or not to do the trade, to run out of blood, and to drive the Japanese out.
So the highlight of this role should also be in the back.
Performance in the general group.
The first is the male protagonist Gong Zheng. It can be seen that Gong Zheng can act.
However, Gong Zheng's performance style has always been calm and introverted, and when placed in the legendary drama of the era, it will feel a little less ostentatious, after all, in the past, the performances of Li Youbin and Chen Baoguo were full of drama. If the male protagonist's taste is weak, the whole drama is not interesting. But the story has just begun, and there is no rush.
The second is Li Naiwen. In fact, Li Naiwen acted very well, very appropriately, and there was no problem. It's just too little drama.
But this is also what I am most worried about, that is, his scene is too little, not fully utilized, the camera has passed.
In fact, with his acting skills, he should play a big villain of the whole drama, and all the protagonists staged a large-scale drama scene, and the opponent play, think about it is wonderful.
Finally, the acting skills almost mean the group.
There was only one in the first episode, Wang Yuanke.
In fact, Wang Yuan is an actress I am looking forward to, in the past many supporting roles, she has played very well, but perhaps the role of the female bandit is still too big for her.
To be honest, she did not put a cloud of this female righteous bandit's style, really performed, there are many plays, but there is a feeling of floating light, after the performance, it seems that it is not acted, and it does not leave a deep impression on the audience.
It is not as good as a few female actors.
But there's a lot more to this role to play next, and maybe, it can fight back.
Zhang Xinjian has always been a director who is very good at using actor performances to tell stories and interpret themes, these actors are in his hands, as if they constitute a tributary of a river, each actor has a highlight, each tributary has a use, in the end, the actors' acting skills are integrated, it is a big river flow.
3, the legendary drama of the era is rising, and the good story will never be outdated
Judging from the senses of the first four episodes, Zhang Xinjian's skills are still there.
Although it has been released for five years, the series does not have any sense of staleness.
In addition to the attractive story, the narrative is compact, and the light and shadow have a texture, the key is to feel the charm of a legendary drama of the times.
And several major dramatic conflicts in this play have also stood up!
How does the male protagonist respond to the storm caused by the county governor election? How will the story of the hero and heroine unfold? And what kind of story will happen between the three masters of Jining?
If you say, many so-called legendary dramas will eventually come to the cunning of human nature and dog blood.
Then the legendary drama of Mountain Shadow is more to express a resonance.
How can this group of figures in the early years of the Republic of China resonate with modern audiences? The answer is: the joys and sorrows of the little people.
The tide of the times is surging and the river is rolling up and down, as if drowning everything, but it does not prevent the director from focusing the camera on the joys and sorrows of the people on both sides of the canal, the joys and sorrows, those sorrows and joys, can always travel through time and space.
These ordinary officials, merchants, writers, soldiers, and bandits, those who make money on a daily basis, those who study books, and those who seek well-being for the well-being of the people, each has his own ordinary life.
Unfortunately, after passively getting involved in history, it has not become a fish in the great river of history.
Instead, they stand up and stand proud, and the brilliance they release at key moments can inspire and call on us.
I am not sure whether "Canal Wind" can recreate the glory of "Breaking into kanto", it is difficult to reproduce, but the mountain shadow has never changed, it is in their stories, always see respect for the audience, respect for creation.
As well as in the legend of the ages, those human glimmers.
This is why "Canal Winds" is worth looking forward to. It is also the real charm of the period legend drama. With this alone, this mountain shadow drama is also worth watching.
