In 2023, all kinds of wonderful works will emerge in the domestic TV drama market, covering multiple themes such as urban, costumes, and suspense, but the performance in terms of historical and revolutionary themes is not satisfactory.
There are not many historical revolutionary dramas that have been launched recently, among which a few such as "The Flame of the Avenue" and "Ask the Boundless" have achieved certain results in the market, but they are still far from becoming classics. Suddenly, a historical revolutionary drama called "Kunpeng Hitting the Waves" has attracted widespread attention.
The play focuses on the growth experience of young people, and vividly records the arduous process of finding and adhering to the concept of Marxism in a complex society.
Among many domestic dramas, works that create the image of great men are not uncommon, and "Kunpeng Hitting the Waves" is highly anticipated as a historical drama that strives to present the best youth.
However, this drama caused a lot of controversy after the release of the feature film. Audiences have pointed out that the production of the play is rough, the sense of cutout is serious, the storyline is chaotic, and the design of contradictions and conflicts is too blunt, which affects the overall perception.
What is particularly striking is the play's missteps in casting actors.
Liu Chenglin, the leading actor selected from 6,000 actors, has been questioned about his image and acting skills.
The audience generally believes that Liu Chenglin is far from the *** of his youth in appearance, and his awl face, lack of fleshy cheeks and asymmetrical smile are far from the real historical image.
In terms of acting, Liu Chenglin's performance was criticized for being stiff and lacking in tension, and it was difficult to convey the real emotions faced by the protagonist in the development of the plot.
In stark contrast, some actors have managed to set a good example by their outstanding performances in historical dramas.
Gu Yue has become a highly recognized member of the chairman actor with her acting skills of both form and spirit.
Through in-depth research on the life and thoughts of the chairman, Gu Yue successfully presented the majesty and wisdom of ***, which left a deep impression on the audience.
Other actors such as Tang Guoqiang, Wang Yi, Hou Jingjian, etc. also successfully performed the image of *** in their own unique ways, presenting a profound and real historical era for the audience.
Based on audience feedback and successful cases of historical dramas, the casting and acting skills of actors are considered to be the key factors for the success of historical dramas.
The audience's expectation for historical dramas is not only to restore the real historical picture, but also to whether the actors can vividly present historical figures in front of the audience through superb acting skills.
And the appearance of "Kunpeng Hitting the Waves" undoubtedly makes people see that the mistakes in the casting of historical dramas may lead to a decline in the overall quality, and the audience's distrust of the actor's image will also affect the reputation of the series.
