It's finally here!
With the end of the plot of "Wind Chaser" starring Wang Yibo, the spy war drama fell into a "drama shortage", and the audience began to be anxious.
I thought that we could only rely on old dramas to survive this summer, but the two major platforms of iQiyi and Tencent brought us a "big surprise", and "Lonely Lost City" starring Huang Jingyu and Xin Zhilei was launched.
thought that this drama had "special forces in the entertainment industry" Huang Jingyu and "Li Li" Xin Zhilei in charge, and the quality of the script should not be too bad, at least it must have a five-star.
What people didn't expect was that because of the male protagonist Huang Jingyu's appearance, netizens' ratings were only one star, and it was given because of Xin Zhilei's appearance.
After all, as a sweet and sweet spot in modern romance dramas, Huang Jingyu's image is still more suitable for playing the male protagonist of a domineering and affectionate idol drama, and playing the role of "male undercover" is somewhat inconsistent.
In the film and television industry, there are not a few actors who have played "male undercover", and there are only a few who are really good, like "Yu Zecheng" played by Sun Honglei and "Lin Nansheng" played by Zhu Yilong.
Especially when Huang Jingyu and Zhu Yilong of the same age are put together, it really responds to that sentence: God appreciates food and eats differently.
Zhu Yilong - the unity of form and spirit, full of feelings
"Rebel", which was popular three years ago, can be said to be the favorite of many fans of spy war dramas, although its fame is not as big as "The Pretender" produced by Noon Sunshine, but it is better because the plot is good and the actors are good.
Especially in terms of actors, not only are there old actors like Wang Zhiwen in charge, but other roles are also played by powerful actors like Wang Yang, Zhu Zhu, nursery rhymes, etc.
As the actor of this play, Zhu Yilong, before starring in this drama, he had also won the Magnolia Best Supporting Actor Award for the role of "Little Grandpa" in "Do You Know".
has good looks and acting skills, but I don't know if I can be qualified as an "undercover hero" during the Anti-Japanese War?
Originally, many people were not very optimistic about Zhu Yilong, but the moment everyone saw Lin Nansheng in "Rebel" come out, they dispelled these doubts.
His eyes are clear, his eyes are firm, and in the face of the sacrifices of his comrades-in-arms, although he is sad in his heart, he still has to show a light breeze on his face, Zhu Yilong only used one look to show the undercover agent's forbearance and humiliation to the fullest.
Especially when Lin Nansheng heard that Gu Shenyan wanted to use his life to protect the "postman" line from being broken, he turned his head and cried bitterly while walking, which really showed the helplessness and grief of an underground worker.
Although undercover is a very intelligent and responsive job, they are also human beings, and they will doubt themselves when they see their relatives and comrades-in-arms sacrificed.
Lin Nansheng played by Zhu Yilong is very similar to the characters in Huang Jingyu's new drama, they are both underground workers who stick to the dark for the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, wearing suits and leather shoes, and have a very high status, but Zhu Yilong has played the role alive.
At first glance, it is for the country and the people, enduring humiliation to the point of losing himself, if the director didn't insist on pairing Lin Nansheng and the heroine, maybe his character aura would be more charming.
He was also nominated for Best Actor in Magnolia for the role of Lin Nansheng.
"Zhu Yilong's Lin Nansheng is invincible, he didn't win the award, I don't understand."
Although the comments of netizens are very "explicit", everyone really can't deny the freshness of Lin Nansheng's role, Zhu Yilong really played him really and lived.
Compared with Zhu Yilong's image of an elegant scholar who forbears heavy burdens, Huang Jingyu's "dementia" appearance in "Lonely Battle in the Lost City" does not look like an undercover agent.
Huang Jingyu - facial features flying around, handsome throughout the whole process
As Huang Jingyu, who has the title of "Internal Entertainment Special Forces", he has always brought everyone the feeling that he is a "soldier brother" who has been overtrained.
With a strong figure and a resolute face, at first glance, I thought it was an actor filming a special forces crew.
Although there is no sense of disobedience if he is asked to play various types of troops, it will even fit the character image very well.
However, if he is put into a spy war drama to play an undercover agent, it will be a task that tests his acting skills very much, and Huang Jingyu, who usually only relies on his face to "cope" with the script, can be regarded as a kick to the iron plate.
At the beginning of the plot, the male protagonist Ou Xiaoan played by Huang Jingyu had just escaped from the secret research room of the Japanese army, and his body was very weak because he had been tortured by the Japanese invaders for a long time.
Generally, the weak people we see are either yellow and thin, or pale and skinny, which makes people know at a glance that this person is chronically malnourished, and his spirit and body are different from ordinary people.
But as soon as our actor Ou Xiaoan appeared, I completely understood what "textbook" acting is.
His limbs were stiff, his eyes were straight, and he walked staggeringly as if he had drunk fake wine.
said that he had been captured in the Japanese experimental base for a long time, but the male protagonist Ou Xiaoan still had a ruddy complexion, and his figure was tall and strong like a big bear, and he didn't look like a prisoner at all.
No wonder as soon as they saw him come out, the military commanders led by the female protagonist would instantly raise their vigilance, after all, the male protagonist's appearance, I really couldn't see that he was a sick person at all.
Later, in order to ensure that he would not "hurt people", the heroine directly slapped a stick on his head, and directly put down such a big male protagonist, and he also lost his memory.
Let's just say, did Huang Jingyu take the script of the heroine of the Korean drama, why did she faint two or three times before she appeared for a few minutes, this weak and unable to take care of herself is really not suitable for being an undercover agent.
Do you think that's the end of it?
When the actor was beaten and lost his memory, the military commander took care of him like a prisoner, dragging him everywhere he went, and the scene looked like a kindergarten teacher taking a child, which was very funny.
Obviously, Huang Jingyu is a 183 tall man, but in this drama, he has become a "big shady spring", the key is, is it even the previous IQ that is lost after amnesia?
The most important thing is that the fool who plays amnesia and plays his facial features is small, and it is really annoying to be handsome all the time in the play.
After putting on a windbreaker, in order to show that he is different, his shoulders are crooked and his neck is stretched, and he looks like "Lao Tzu is the most handsome in the world".
Even if the camera only captured one of his backs, Huang Jingyu had to stretch his neck far away, eager to twist his body into a twist.
Let's just say, I haven't seen a few acting skills, and I watched him show off his figure here the whole time, does such a male undercover agent really fit the plot setting?
epilogue
Obviously, they are all people of the same age, and the roles they play are all "male undercover", but Zhu Yilong's performance is obviously much better than Huang Jingyu.
I really don't know why the director asked Huang Jingyu to star in the spy war drama, isn't it good for him to play his special forces.
Do you think that compared with Zhu Yilong and Huang Jingyu, whose acting skills are better?
