As the disappointment of domestic romantic dramas in the hearts of the audience gradually accumulated, last year's high-profile "To Love for a Long Time" made many viewers depressed. The starring combination of Yang Zi and Fan Chengcheng does not seem to have ignited the CP spark in the audience's hearts, and the inappropriateness of the image is even more embarrassing. However, as the aftermath of disappointment has not ended, "In the Blizzard" was born, and the partnership of Wu Lei and Zhao Jinmai has become a beautiful scenery in the entertainment industry.
Back in 2002, Wu Lei showed his acting talent in an advertisement for health care products, and from that moment on, his acting career was like a newborn bird, constantly flying in the sky of advertising, trying various styles, and gradually becoming a "little giant" in the advertising industry. However, what really made him popular was not the advertisement, but the 2005 TV series "Fengshen Bang: Fengming Qishan". At that time, Wu Lei was like the rising sun, although it was not brilliant, but it had begun to shine. The successful TV series gave him a solid foundation.
Four years later, Wu Lei's role as "Tang Bubitter" in "There Are Aliens at Home" attracted the attention of the audience. His distinctive characters and natural performances made him the brightest new star on the small screen at that time. However, what really brought him to the pinnacle of his acting career was 2011's "Naughty Bag Horse Jump". In the play, he successfully created a mischievous and clever image, and took his performance to the extreme. The audience no longer only sees Wu Lei himself, but a real "Ma Xiaoyue", a role that has become a dazzling star in his acting career.
However, Wu Lei is not only an acting school, but also an enthusiastic public welfare youth. In 2017, he participated in the public welfare program "The First Lesson of School", not only sang the theme song, but also starred in the public service advertisement "One Book, One World, Reading Happy and Reading Youth" with zero pay. This young actor not only works hard in his career, but also hopes to contribute more to society through his influence. In December 2017, he personally donated and participated in the construction of a "Sanshi Sunshine Children's Park" to create a better learning and playing environment for children in his hometown.
Zhao Jinmai, a young actor, has a unique growth experience. At the age of six, she crossed over into the stage of the Shenyang Evening News children's acting class and became a rising star on that stage. The careful guidance of her mentor, Ms. Guo Limin, has laid a solid foundation for her acting career. During her time in the children's acting class, Zhao Jinmai not only learned the skills of acting, but also cultivated a love for literature. She became a member of the "Shenyang Evening News" Super Junior Reporter Group, recording the world in her eyes with words, and conveying every touch and experience.
And "In the Blizzard", as a romantic drama set in billiards, has been described as the billiards version of "Love Only". Wu Lei plays the role of a genius-level professional first-class player, and Zhao Jinmai plays the nine-ball player, and the two leading actors unfold a touching love story in the story. The plot focuses on the encounter between the two in a blizzard, presenting a different kind of love story. Different from the common sugar water plots in domestic romance dramas, this drama pays more attention to realistic and bloody emotional elements, presenting a unique sensory feast for the audience.
The audience's expectations for domestic romantic dramas have heated up again, and the success of "In the Blizzard" has also made us reflect on the performance of domestic romantic dramas in the past year. This drama has not only done enough homework in terms of performance and plot, but also achieved remarkable results in character creation and emotional display. Wu Lei and Zhao Jinmai's acting skills**, the tacit understanding and professional acting skills of the two make the whole plot more real and touching, and they are no longer troubled by the unreasonable image of the characters in the past domestic romance dramas.
Perhaps, this also makes people start to think, should they have higher expectations for domestic romantic dramas? In this field, the preferences of the audience are very different. Some people like the sugar water plot and hope to feel the sweetness and happiness of love in front of the screen; Others, on the other hand, are more truthful and want to see more depth and content in their stories. And the success of "In the Blizzard" may be precisely because it finds a balance between the two.
In the future, there may be more works like "In the Time of the Blizzard" to emerge, bringing more surprises and touches to the audience. What exactly is the success criterion for domestic romantic dramas? Is it to cater to the tastes of the audience, or to have the courage to break through and innovate? Everyone has their own opinions, but it is this success that allows us to see the infinite possibilities for the development of domestic romantic dramas. Looking forward to the future, I look forward to more wonderful stories blooming in the entertainment industry.
