CCTV's New Year's drama "South to North" filled everyone's expectations with the trailer alone.
All of this is the responsibility of our railway police. ”
The Spring Festival is approaching, and I patrol in the cold wind. ”
This year coincides with the first Spring Festival after the recovery of the epidemic, and these two lines instantly pulled the audience back to the 70s of the 20th century from the era of modern bullet trains.
Compared with previous period dramas, "South to North" is not only full of age, but also contains suspense, emotion, funny and other highlights, which makes people want to stop.
Now not long after the broadcast, it has been encircled from a number of popular TV series, and the ratings directly broke 2, winning the first place in the same period in the country.
The drama "South to North" revolves around "two lines and one courtyard" to tell the story of a pair of railway police officers on duty on the train and what happened in the compound of daily life.
Among them, Wang Xin, a young policeman played by Bai Jingting, mistakenly took Ma Kui, an old railway policeman played by Ding Daiyong, as a fugitive, and their story began.
In previous years, period dramas have firmly sat on the throne of the ratings of the New Year's dramas.
For example, the previous "Parents' Love" and "The World" have all set good ratings, and the audience never gets tired of watching them.
"South to North", which ushered in a good start this time, can maintain the ratings miracle and become the king of dramas in the new year, I believe everyone has their own answer in their hearts.
After watching the first few episodes of this show, it is not difficult to find that this drama is a team building of excellent actors, even if it is a supporting role, it can be called by name.
Bai Jingting, Ding Daiyong, Jin Chen, Hu Ke, Ni Dahong, Zuo Xiaoqing, Wang Jinsong, Wang Xiaoli ......
Such a luxurious lineup is really exciting. Next, I will tell you what stories are behind the outstanding actors in this drama.
First of all, Wang Xin, played by young actor Bai Jingting, is really deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Although the hot search about "Bai Jingting's collapsed house" has remained high in the past few days, I have to say that Bai Jingting's acting skills have always been **.
In 2014, Bai Jingting, who was not from a professional class, became popular for his role as Qiao Ran in the online drama "The Year in a Hurry".
During the first interview, I pronounced my lines in a mess because I was not professional enough.
But with the image full of "juvenile feeling", coupled with his later efforts, Bai Jingting still won the role of Qiao Ran and entered the showbiz from then on.
From the gentle Yu Chuyuan in "Whirlwind Girl", the game architect Xiao Heyun in "The Beginning", and then to Gu Jiusi in "Long Wind Crossing".
While Bai Jingting created one classic image after another, he gradually cultivated himself from an "idol faction" to a "powerful faction".
Compared with the characters he played before, the police officers in "South to North" need to be more stable and mature.
At the beginning, most of the audience was also worried, is Bai Jingting sure that he can play this role well?
Fortunately, Bai Jingting is full of sincerity in this drama and performs well.
In order to get close to the character, he was born and raised in Beijing, and specially learned Northeast dialect.
The role of Wang Xin has his own humorous temperament, and he has always been called the "King of Terriers" in variety shows, and he is simply acting in his true colors.
Since he has not studied acting professionally, Bai Jingting's performance is a little more casual.
In most cases, he relied on his own talent to figure out the character, and as a result, he not only made the audience empathetic, but also gave the character a deeper connotation and soul.
In addition to Bai Jingting, Jin Chen, who played the role of Ma Yan in the play, was also controversial before the TV broadcast.
Everyone believes that Ma Yan is a girl who lived in the 70s, her father was unjustly imprisoned, and she could only rely on her mother for her life.
But Jin Chen's image is too thin and white, coupled with her bright facial features, in period dramas, the "sense of technology" on her face is somewhat out of place.
As the plot deepens, Ma Yan, as a salesperson in a state-run store, is neither humble nor arrogant in the face of customers' faults.
In the face of life's tribulations, she is resolute and cheerful.
When facing her father, who she hasn't seen for many years, her inner entanglement and emotional changes towards her father.
And these are all vividly presented under Jin Chen's delicate performance skills.
People also witnessed Ma Yan's growth through Jin Chen's performance.
In addition to the new generation of actors taking the lead, the strength of the old drama bones should not be underestimated.
Ding Daiyong is one of them.
When he was young, Ding Daiyong performed many classic images.
Bai Baoshan, the "bandit" in the TV series "The End", is the most well-known image.
This role was originally won by him conquering the director with an excellent acting acting.
Although Ding Daiyong has participated in many TV series over the years, it has not caused much splash.
However, gold always shines.
In 2015, Ding Daiyong played a mediocre, irritable, incompetent, and suspicious Emperor Liang in "Langya Bang", and his acting skills were recognized by everyone and remembered.
He has been on this road for 34 years.
In many popular dramas such as "Ode to Joy", "Under the Brocade", "An Home", Ding Daiyong is there, and he won the "Magnolia Award for Best Supporting Actor" with the role of Zhou Zhigang in "The World".
As a recognized powerful actor, Ding Daiyong's performance in the hit drama "The World" has soared in popularity.
It is precisely because of his excellent acting skills that he plays every role with full tension, and sometimes even more brilliant than the protagonist, which often makes people ignore that his role is actually not much.
This time, in "South to North", Ding Daiyong, who has strength but lacks popularity, becomes the protagonist.
The excellent police officer was wrongfully imprisoned for ten years, and after he was released from prison, he did not have any resentment, but continued to shine on the train.
The role of Ma Kui is full of drama.
An old policeman who has been wronged, a loving father, and a stern master.
Ding Daiyong used subtle performances to skillfully show Ma Kui's triple identity in the play. And the contrast of each side of Ma Kui also makes this character more three-dimensional and vivid.
The performance in the play is also wonderful, as well as Hu Ke, who plays Ma Kui's wife Wang Sufen.
When some female stars are still playing girls at the age of 70 and playing against Xiao Xianrou, 48-year-old Hu Ke is already playing Bai Jingting's "mother-in-law" for the third time.
is different from Zhang Yue'er in "Changfeng Crossing" who is arrogant and domineering, Zhuge Xiaomei in "Qingqing's Daily" has a cheerful personality, this time in "South to North", Wang Sufen played by Hu Ke is simple and reasonable although she is ill-fated.
Her husband was unjustly imprisoned, leaving her alone to support the family; finally waited for her husband to be released from prison and the family was reunited, but she suffered from cancer again.
The mother played by Hu Ke has a rough fate and sacrifices herself for her family.
In the play, Hu can show off without makeup, makeup and delicate performance, so that the audience can feel the wind and frost of the years, leaving traces on Wang Sufen's body.
Hu Ke also showed another kind of feminine charm through his performance, telling everyone that the mark of time is never a burden, but a kind of inner beauty.
Although there are three generations of actors from the old, middle and young actors, the soul of a good drama is a good story.
The reason why "South to North" has attracted so much attention is because of its writers and directors.
The names "Gao Mantang" and "Zheng Xiaolong", no matter which TV series they appear in, can be called absolute trump cards.
"The Legend of Zhen Huan" directed by Zheng Xiaolong has been broadcast for more than ten years and is still regarded as a "rice drama" and has become a phenomenal TV series.
The benchmarks of period dramas such as "Golden Wedding", "Red Sorghum" and "Meritorious" are all from him.
Gold medal screenwriter Gao Mantang also has many well-known masterpieces: "Crossing the Guandong", "There are Nine Phoenixes in the Family", "Wenzhou Family" and so on.
As an experiential creator, when Gao Mantang was writing the script, he felt that while thinking about the current status of TV drama creation, it was more important to innovate in the accumulation of life.
Every story he creates is created after years of accumulation, from a suitable perspective and at the right time.
This time, "South to North", he also combined his own experience to burst out the concept of "South to North" from all kinds of people on the train he took when he was young.
When he saw the many formulaic police and gangster films at the moment, he suddenly thought of this train and the old criminal policeman he had interviewed in the Jinan Railway Public Security Bureau.
They have been running trains all their lives, and they have also witnessed the rapid development of the country over the years.
As a result, there is this "South to North", which records the various states of beings on the train, and breaks the model of previous period dramas, and uses the perspective of young men as the starting point to create.
It's not enough to have a good script, a good director, and a good actor, you also need a good production.
The reason why there are few scenes on the train in period dramas is because there are too many limitations, and in the years of rapid development, high-speed rail has strict restrictions on not being able to go up, and most of the internal combustion engines and steam engines have been eliminated.
The crew's intentions in setting the scenery can be seen.
From the train carriages of all kinds of people, etc., to the streets and alleys of the northeast alleys in the small town of Fangci; From the life trajectory of the characters to the detailed design of the scene, they are restoring the background of that specific era.
In this fast-paced and formulaic era, good dramas that break the routine and are not allowed to be repeated have long been rare, which also makes the audience look forward to this drama even more.
The passengers on the train, wave after wave, what remains unchanged is that they have been moving forward in the torrent of the times.
It also passed down the torch of the two generations of railway policemen from Wang Xin and Ma Kui to witness the rapid development of China's railways from the steam engine to the era of high-speed rail.
What's more exciting than the story is the life of every character in the play.
The passengers, the announcers, and the police on the bus are all ordinary people, and they are also real characters in life.
In those days, everyone was full of passion and drive, and it was the unique spirit, vitality and vitality of the working class.
They also passed on this "dynamism" to us.
It's not so much a story as a story generated by these vivid characters.
Only when the characters are "lived" can they be remembered by people through TV dramas, and can they bring people to think about the times and human nature.
With the continuous development of the plot, this New Year's drama will definitely become a classic.
