Unexpectedly, the next hot spot of "The Story of Roses" and the second wave of the summer file would be "Tang Dynasty Legends: Westward Journey".
When the first season was broadcast, it seemed to be an obscure low-cost small flutter drama, no top-notch, no marketing, and attracted a large number of tap water with its strength, becoming the dark horse of the year, and also spelling out a sequel.
This is "Tang Wei 2", which returned two years later.
The main creator is a favorite fan to listen to persuasion, 10 episodes will be released in 3 days, the demon king will fall off the wall, the death of the pretend, the return of "Light Red", from suspenseful case solving to fancy play, or the flavor of the first season, but the murderer is really difficult to guess.
Screenwriter Wei Fenghua said: Tang Wei's journey to the west, from a certain point of view, is a drama created by the audience. A lot of very good suggestions, the crew took them.
Facts have proved that the drama that dares to listen to the audience does have two brushes, and on the premise of completely removing traffic, the popularity of the station broke 9200 in only 3 days after it was launched, and the full-end broadcast and market share of Kuyun and Yunhe all topped the top three, the old audience did not run, and the new audience continued to enter the pit.
The third season, created by the original team, is said to be filming again this year.
There are many reasons why "Tang Wei 2" can continue to be a word-of-mouth hit.
The elegance of the picture and the suspense of the plot certainly add points, but the brilliance of the characters is definitely the key.
For example, the crew listened to the suggestions of fans and invited Yu Yi and Paul Che, which once again proved that the audience's vision was bright.
Below, combined with the perception of the first 10 episodes, let's rank the performance of the actors of "Tang Wei 2". Lack of top-notch Tang Wei, one less good role, no.
10, Qu Xiaoyu as Guo Zhuang - the Jin Wuwei brothers who make people cry
The Tang Wei series seems to have formed some kind of law, and one of Lu Lingfeng's Jin Wuwei brothers is folded every season (the only remaining general is trembling).
This time the opening is Guo Zhuang.
Lu Lingfeng took his good brother Guo Zhuang to explore the ghost city at night, first met the "Three Witches", and then fought the "Demon King", but unfortunately met the new combat power ceiling of the Tang Wei series, General Ma, Guo Zhuang blocked the fatal knife for Lu Lingfeng and died on the spot, if it weren't for Fei Jishi, Lu Lingfeng was afraid that he would also break.
Explosive performances are often praised, but I've always thought that performances that show the nature of a character without much calculation are also rare.
Guo Zhuang's sacrifice may not be a superb actor, but his acting skills are naturally pure and sincere.
The audience will remember that in the first season, Guo Zhuang gave Lu Lingfeng back to Chang'an, Lu Lingfeng returned, Guo Zhuang gave up his promotion and swore to follow, but the second season broke at the beginning.
Guo Zhuang's death also achieved the famous scene at the beginning of the second season: after Lu Lingfeng woke up, he carried the corpse of his good brother on his back and walked in the rain and carried Guo Zhuang back.
This whole scene is full of tension, because the audience can feel the love of the man.
Simple characters are not necessarily immovable, and Chinese always believe in righteousness and like real men who stick knives in their brothers' ribs.
Qu Xiaoyu doesn't say how good his acting skills are, but he can accurately perform the true side of the character, which is enough for the audience to remember.
9, Che Paul as Zhou Lao - the "treacherous" benefactor of Di Gong
The young actors are brilliant, and the old drama bones are of course also very stable.
In fact, Zhang Qian, played by Heizi, is also very exciting, but among the old drama bones with a cameo in the first unit, the most memorable at a glance is Che Paul.
Zhou Lao, a retired cool official played by Paul Che, has a thin face and a rickety body, and he is full of "weirdness" as soon as he appears, and his image, personality and acting skills are perfectly integrated.
But the most brilliant thing about this protagonist is precisely the contrast between the appearance and the heart.
The appearance of such a treacherous character just made people sweat for Lu Lingfeng in their hearts, but they didn't expect Su Wuming to bow down when he met him, because when Di Renjie was in prison, it was Zhou Lao who secretly helped Di Renjie get out of danger.
The weirdest thing in the world is that seemingly good people are not necessarily good people, and seemingly evil people are not necessarily evil people.
Sure enough, as the crew said, the audience will listen to what they say, but they will not just stuff a role for the actors.
A role like Zhou Lao is none other than Paul Che.
8, Yang Xuwen as Lu Lingfeng - is a humble gentleman, but also a reckless young man
Many viewers watched this season's Lu Lingfeng, and they all said that didn't he grow up last season, how did the character change back to the irascible little brother this season?
But the most amazing thing about Lu Lingfeng's role is that you always want to scold him, "Why is this person like this", but the next second you will say it like Fei Jishi, but this person is really worth handing over.
The most exciting thing in Yang Xuwen's drama is the play, the movements are handsome and neat, and the moves are done in one go, which can be said to be the most handsome among the young actors.
But the role is not badly interpreted, not only showing Lu Lingfeng's righteous and courageous side, but also playing the character's youthful and impetuous side. There is a humble and gentlemanly side, and there is also a reckless and reckless side.
Although Lu Lingfeng misunderstood Su Wuming's whistleblowing to gain fame because of the general's words, the stills have already spoiled the follow-up development: he knew the truth, and he sincerely confessed to Su Wuming, which was quite touching.
In fact, you can still see the growth of the characters in this season, especially the sentence before being demoted out of Beijing, "I love the bright moon and the country of the Tang Dynasty, but I love the people around me more." ”
7, Xi Wang as Chuntiao - "Light Red Resurrection", showing more acting skills
The return of "Light Red" to the second season obviously depends on countless audience barrages.
But what I didn't expect was that Xi Wang, who returned with the same spring strip as Qinghong, let the audience see her acting skills.
The "light red" that made the audience worry in the first season was very brilliant, but it mainly relied on the character design and the director's use of the smoke and rain in the south to shoot the beauty of Xi Wang.
Xi Wang's acting skills are only considered passing.
But the key to the brilliance of the characters in the second season, in addition to the appearance factor, is the new interpretation of the actors.
is different from the gentle and virtuous lady of light red, and the uninhibited uninhibited light red in Uncle Duguyao's dream.
The character of Harujo has both a frivolous side and a faint ruthlessness.
Xi Wang did not play in the traditional femme fatale.
On the contrary, she takes a different approach to the character's "half-crazy and half-cold" attributes.
Especially in the scene where the county government was arraigned, a person fought a bunch of big men with a tongue, yin and yang weird, laughing and scolding, so that Su Wuming couldn't even ask. It's eye-catching.
The audience thought that the actor would come back and return to the scene, but he didn't expect to release his acting skills, and a good drama really won't waste any characters and actors.
6, Yue Lina as the princess - her acting skills are unexpectedly getting better
In Tang Weili, there are many outstanding female characters.
But the one who is getting better is definitely Yue Lina's princess.
In fact, Yue Lina's acting performance in the first season was average.
But as the characters in the second season increasingly reveal more motherhood, it also depicts more room for aftertaste.
As a character who competes with the crown prince who has ascended the throne, the princess exudes a faint domineering aura from her demeanor to her conversation, and it gives people an aura that cannot be offended.
What made Yue Lina's acting skills explode even more was the scene of bidding farewell to Su Wuming in the suburbs.
Su Wuming deliberately told the prince, but in fact, he saved Lu Lingfeng and sacrificed his career that he had so hard to get, everyone misunderstood him, only the princess understated one sentence: Are you a three-year-old child?
But in the face of Su Wuming's advice, she said arrogantly and firmly: You go back to your hometown to rest for a few months, and when you come back, you will be the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty.
The princess at this moment is really domineering, and there is gratitude to Su Wuming in her domineering spirit, no matter how tall a mother stands, she can't let go of her son after all.
Let's not talk about Yue Lina's face state, the character at this moment is indeed outstanding.
5, Liu Zhiyang as the prince - the blackening moment of "Xia Dongqing".
Like the princess, the role of the prince also completed his transformation in the second season.
There is a rare performance in which the actor can keep his back hand in every scene, so as to enrich the character map beyond the lines, just like Xia Dongqing in this play.
In fact, the audience in the first season has always had a question about whether the prince, who seems to be pure and upright, is really black and honest.
In the second season, it finally became apparent.
From wooing Su Wuming to instigating Lu Lingfeng to destroy the mural, the character completes the first layer of arc light, "highly cunning and camouflaged."
And when the crown prince suddenly ascended the throne, he finally stopped acting directly, just a domineering appearance, a disdainful look, and the background color of the role: there is no blackening, in fact, it has been hidden all along.
A person who seems to be elegant and gentle, retreating step by step, is actually black-bellied to the extreme.
So when Su Wuming pretended to be a snitch, the prince was immediately furious and bombarded him out of Chang'an, until even the two cronies retreated, he said his true heart: Su Wuming broke the relationship between Lu Lingfeng and the princess, and now it's the wrong time to start.
In a scene, the character's belly was blackened and cleaned.
A good performance is a subtraction, Xia Dongqing doesn't need superfluous interpretations at all, how can a Li Longji who can knock Wei Hou down be a little white rabbit.
A truly wonderful interpretation is like the best swordsman, with just one sword, he makes the character shine.
If you look at the performances of the two seasons separately, Xia Dongqing's performance is only passing, but if you look at the transformation of the characters in the two seasons together, it is really exciting.
4, Chen Chuang as Fei Jishi - the road of love and righteousness of alternative medical immortals
is still the same sentence, Chen Chuang's acting skills have always been underestimated.
Frankly speaking, he plays Fei Jishi, and his image does not conform to the traditional impression of the doctor's "fairy wind and bones".
But this acting school amused the audience with his profound interpretation of the role.
He grasped the easily overlooked personality attribute - "two chickens per capita".
Since the first season, this peerless master of medical skills has brought back the two male protagonists from the dead end again and again, and the conditions have never changed: "Treat me one chicken a day, no, two".
In the finale of the first season, Lu Lingfeng went to Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and at the beginning of the second season, Su Wuming also became the acting Shaoqing of Dali Temple, I thought that the two chickens were stable now, but I didn't expect that in a blink of an eye, one was demoted to the people, and the other became a county lieutenant.
But the unforgiving Fei Jishi, in the first ten episodes, fished out two more male protagonists each with a life, and the two chickens were not fished, and there was no shortage of saving people.
Without him, this detective team would have died en masse.
Under Chen Chuang's brilliant performance, Fei Jishi, who seems to be unreliable, is actually the most reliable person in the whole play.
Behind the clumsy secular operation of the character, Chen Chuang also performed the "wise and foolish" side of the role, such a master, two chickens a day is simply too cheap, and he stayed in the detective team, naturally for love.
Chen Chuang's acting was not wrong at all.
3, Yang Zhigang as Su Wuming - this role must be him
Yang Zhigang's acting skills have been complained about for many years, and the lines are word-by-word and sentence-breaking, and the higher his national degree, the louder the questioning.
But many viewers ignore that Yang Zhigang in costume dramas is far more pleasing to the eye than Yang Zhigang in anti-Japanese war dramas and urban dramas.
Because of his excessively suppressed and frustrated lines, it may be just right to put it in a costume drama.
And when he played the role of Su Wuming, it directly turned the shortcomings that were complained about in the past into advantages and characteristics, if there is no such subdued and frustrated line, it is like snail noodles have lost that taste, and they are boring to eat.
What's even more exciting is that Yang Zhigang focuses on the interpretation of Su Wuming's hidden literati temperament under Su Wuming's sleek and greasy painting style, and the role becomes more and more brilliant the further he goes.
At the beginning of the second season, Yang Zhigang acted in two amazing scenes.
One is pretending to tell the prince.
As soon as he appeared, he was a flattering painting style, his eyes glanced left and right, and he was alive and well off the villain face of the informer.
said, "Don't say that it is the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, even if it is the Secretary of Dali Temple, if he is promoted exceptionally, he will be smeared with His Majesty's liver and brain." The whole person has been carried away and fully devoted, if the audience didn't know him, they would really believe his nonsense.
The other is to take the cherry away.
It's not easy to make Cherry believe that he is a snob, but Su Wuming is too good at acting as a villain, he first told his family background, his biological father was wronged, and then he said that he was ambitious in his heart, and then said that following Di Renjie was to be reused, and finally went back to betraying Lu Lingfeng, and begging for officials was not successful.
This passage is true or false, three points true and seven points false, and I can't help but believe it.
As a result, he successfully ran away from his wife.
At this time, Su Wuming was stunned first, then slowly showed a smiling face, and finally showed a lonely and sad look.
There is not only the relief of success and cherry, but also the helplessness of his wife running away.
All kinds of feelings come to my heart, and a scene stretches out a strong tension, making the characters plump and ground.
2, Yu Yi as Qin Xiaobai - the highlight moment of tears
Yu Yi was naturally stuffed into the crew by netizens, but it turned out that this was another successful casting by netizens.
Some netizens complained that he played Qin Xiaobai like a madman, not like a painter.
But I think his interpretation of this Tang Dynasty artist is very appropriate in four ways:
The form and spirit are there.
Whether it is physical posture or interior, Yu Yi portrays the role very well.
One sentence, "There is no meaning of danqing between your eyebrows", the line is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and it has become the first sentence out of the circle in the series.
It was the nature of the artists of that era to act in a dissolute manner.
From an internal point of view, Yu Yi not only portrays the "independent and lonely" side of the character, but also amplifies the attribute of "evil".
Especially the attitude towards the junior and younger brothers, it is really not to treat people as human beings.
Between words and deeds, the character is a combination of pride, irritability and rebelliousness, but this is Qin Xiaobai, the first painter in Beijing.
He has been unable to put the finishing touch because he can't penetrate the magic path, until he witnessed his junior brother fall into the magic path and felt it himself, that he got the inspiration for the "finishing touch". But he didn't put the finishing touch on death, and he kept the integrity of an artist.
In the end, he cut off his eyes and vowed to never paint again, so he performed a thought to become a demon and a thought to become a Buddha.
At the end of the first unit, the character pulls the corpse of his junior brother away, which is both paranoid and temperamental of ancient Chinese literati.
And this just achieved a very eye-catching finishing touch, and also made Qin Xiaobai's image more lingering-
self-destructed eyes, but instead obtained a pair of eyes that saw through the ghosts in the world, it was Zhao Yan, and he was also nameless.
1, Shi Ke as Cao Hui - the sorrow and tenacity of the mother of the work were performed
It is great to be able to rely on the main scenes to show acting skills, but playing a role in a few scenes, every stroke is the actor's understanding of the character, and it is also a good performance.
In the second unit "The Death of the Worker", Shi Ke, who played the mother of the slain Zuo, was full of drama as soon as he appeared.
In the case of a murder in the county, there should be an autopsy first, but if the pretend, who will conduct the autopsy?
At the critical moment, Cao Hui, played by Shi Ke, said loudly, "The female servant of Datang Shiyang County did Tang Hui's autopsy." ”
An appearance, an image of a resolute female servant who personally performed an autopsy for her son, is about to come out.
There has always been a rumor in the market that when Zhang Yimou filmed "Red Sorghum", he went to find Shi Ke first, Shi Ke happened to go out, and found Gong Li again, and finally chose one of the two and chose Gong Li to star.
Although it is not a big hit, Shi Ke's acting skills have always been quite stable.
Even if Tang Hui is a small character, she only appeared in a few scenes, but the character image is extremely distinct.
The first scene is the opening scene of the autopsy for his son, and at the end of the examination, he faints with excessive grief.
With the excited body language, the character's sadness is undoubtedly revealed.
In the second scene, Su Wuming and Uncle Dugu Yao of the county went to visit her together, Tang Hui was white-headed overnight, sometimes sober, sometimes confused.
The heart-wrenching sentence of "begging the county order to find the murderer as soon as possible" instantly revealed the vulnerability, and the "weakness" under the resolute appearance of the role.
The role is limited, but Shi Ke interprets the character's just the right amount of resilience and loneliness, which is wonderful.
epilogue
Content is hard power, Tang Wei 2 exploded, naturally it was a shot in the arm for internal entertainment, it is difficult for the audience to pay for just a certain top stream, the story is good, and the drama will go far.
