Uncle Yu didn't expect that the first drama to be scolded miserably at the beginning of the year turned out to be it-
"Ice Hunting".
After all, this is Zhang Songwen since the explosion of "Hurricane".Part 1Works that meet the audience.
The greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment.
A large number of one-star comments can be seen in Douban's short reviews.
It's not just the quality of the episodes that are ridiculed by the group.
Even Zhang Songwen's acting skills are at risk of overturning.
The doubts are too loud, directorGao Qunshu(Directed "The Wind" and "Conquest") also responded.
Refute the disputes such as investor intervention and casting one by one.
But it did not quell the doubts.
Uncle Yu also thought at the beginning, with Zhang Songwen in charge, no matter how bad it was, how bad could it be.
As a result, after reading **, I was still silent——
"Ice Hunting".
Looking at the title, it is not difficult to guess that this is an anti-drug drama.
played by Zhang SongwenHuang ZongweiIn one corner, the prototype of the story is China's No. 1 drug lord Liu Zhaohua.
Uncle Yu has just written about him, and this person's experience is quite legendary. (Click here for a review).
Born in a poor family, he only has a junior high school education, but he is a genius in chemistry.
He has been a bailiff, an outstanding citizen, a charity businessman, and even won a million lottery tickets.
Growing up and criminal motives need to be explored, and multiple identities represent great complexity.
Such a role is rare, and there is a great possibility of mutual achievement with a good actor.
is done, it is another Gao Qiqiang .
It just so happens that the direction of the play "Ice Hunting" is also somewhat similar to "Hurricane".
It's also a black-and-white contest, a cat-and-mouse game.
The highlight of the story is also Huang Zongwei's escape and drug production road, as well as the game and competition between him and **.
What the audience wants to see is naturally that Zhang Songwen used his acting skills to successfully create a classic villain like Gao Qiqiang again.
The result is not to mention the reappearance of brilliance, alsoAlmost pulled off the altar.
In the end, there is a problem, let's just take a good look.
At the beginning of the episode, ** arrests drug dealers.
Shun Teng pulled out the poison-making chain behind it.
After some exploration, Huang Zongwei surfaced.
Huang Zongwei, as the biggest villain of this drama, does have many similarities with Gao Qiqiang.
For example, he was born at the bottom and his family was poor.
But he is sleek, sweet-hearted, and superficial Bodhisattva.
The last second is a good boss, and the employee is subsidized for overtime pay just after the salary is paid.
The next second, the drug-making plan was eavesdropped, and he started to kill.
He is meticulous and has a strong sense of anti-reconnaissance.
In the process of fighting with the police, it is often possible to predict the other party's pursuit plan.
Confused again, he escaped by luck several times.
Zhang Songwen's strength in performance is to use the details of life to build characters.
In this regard,His acting skills really crushed everyone in the play
For example, it shows the ruthlessness hidden in Huang Zongwei's bones.
Zhang Songwen picked up the unextinguished cigarette butt from the ground and extinguished it with his bare hands.
The matter had just been exposed, and he was approached by the police.
Huang Zongwei's psychological quality is far beyond ordinary people, and he calmly replied and refuted in a timely manner.
Knowing that there was no evidence, he snapped his fingers lightly as he left.
After that, every time I dodge the police, there will always be a snap of my fingers.
This is complacency, but also arrogance.
It is the actor's meticulous work on the role.
In addition to this, the outpouring of emotions is also quite contagious.
The moment when he was about to leave the house but heard the child calling his father, the actor took the audience with a sour nose, and the characters also had warmth and flesh for a moment.
It stands to reason that as long as Zhang Songwen plays as usual, this drama will not be too bad.
But "Ice Hunting" made the audience realize.
Zhang Songwen alone really can't save the whole drama.
The audience wants to see Zhang Songwen's acting skills, and there are indeed them in the play.
ButYes and only
The other parts are as rough as sandpaper, vowing to help the audience polish their eyes and learn a lesson.
Let's start with thatPlot
In the face of a villain like Huang Zongwei, it is natural to need a positive force that is evenly matched.
In the play, it is the heroineZhao Younan(played by Yao Anna) is the main anti-drug team.
But the arrest of drug lords does not rely on logical reasoning and strict control.
It's like relying on the heroine to hold the script in her handOpen hanging perspective, and rampage action.
In the play, Huang Zongwei escaped the pursuit and left overnight, but changed his destination.
It was Zhao Younan who intuitively persuaded the leader to increase the pursuit route.
There's no evidence yet, but I just think it's suspicious
Later, she deduced Huang Zongwei's drug trafficking method based on the overlapping marks of a newspaper.
* The action is all up to Zhao Younan to lead her away, and even other team members are suspected of dragging her back.
The play does pave the way for the opening and hanging of the characters.
said that his ability was good and he had made meritorious contributions, but he was too stunned.
YesActor acting, there is still a long way to go before successfully creating a stunned young character.
In fact, it is the hard work of young police officers.
In order to solve the case, he will go all out, sometimes even recklessly.
But in terms of the characters' expressions, stunned does not mean stunned.
In terms of body movements, stunned does not mean stiff.
In terms of line expression, being stunned does not mean that you have no brains.
Creating a character like this will only stunned the audience.
No, just a few episodes were broadcast, and the actors' acting skills were out of the circle on the Internet.
Give aquarists a feel
Who is not stunned by this?
There are no expectations for the creation of decent characters, and it is okay to achieve villains.
But the overall quality of the overstretched wasted the actors' efforts.
Audiovisual language, almost nothing.
Lighting, composition, and editing, it can be seen that the cost is not high.
There is a clip of Huang Zongwei showing his ability to make drugs in the play.
Find someone to smoke the freshly made drug on the spot to verify the purity.
Because the filming technique is too clumsy, it even adds a hint of comedy.
Compare the scene in "Hurricane" where Gao Qiqiang experienced the change of power after killing people.
No matter from the soundtrack, shots, and artistic conception expression, it is not an order of magnitude.
CauseAmateur audio-visual techniques, so that the actor's performance loses dependence.
On the one hand, it creates ambiguity in the plot.
For example, when two drug dealers pause in a conversation, because they don't focus on the characters, they can't tell whether they forget words or ponder.
On the other hand, it also intensifies the deliberate sense of performance.
is like a quarrel between Zhang Songwen and Han Geng.
The dramatic bridge section is easy to flow to catch the horse.
For a long time, the audience could not see the front of the actor and could not perceive the emotions of the characters with their subtle changes.
I can only see large body movements, and hear the shouted lines, so it is easier to play.
This is also why, even Zhang Songwen suddenly has itActing downgradedThe look and feel.
At the same time, "Ice Hunting" itself is already a short dramaThe pace of the plot is still sluggish
In the first episode of the pursuit of drug dealers, the characters alone take up a lot of space.
In the subsequent plot, Zhao Younan also went on a long run at every turn.
The process is neither thrilling nor used to accurately shape the characters.
After watching it, the audience only knew that this actor was really capable of running, and it was useless other than that.
But something like this doesn't help the plot at allWaste pen, ** and many more.
Some people say that this is close to the documentary style, and there is a sense of roughness.
But the documentary style is real, not superfluous.
The disappointing quality of the series makes the doubts louder and louder.
The special identity background of the protagonist Yao Anna is also regarded as evidence of capital involvement.
Even though the director explained on the scene, it still had little effect.
This new work of Zhang Songwen has a good reputation now.
*Gao Qunshu Weibo, the same below.
But Uncle Yu feels that this drama just makes people realize how rare a good drama is.
And most importantly, of courseExcellent play.
A good story doesn't equal a good script.
Even though the archetypal story is rich enough, it still needs to be accurately and effectively adapted for film and television to bring it to the screen.
The reason why "Hurricane" can explode is precisely because of the solid script.
Even so, the slightly thin forces of justice also make many viewers feel sorry.
What's more, the script of "Ice Hunting" has changed drafts several times, and in order to save costs, amateur actors with no acting experience are selected to undertake the important drama task of confronting the villain, which is almost a double adventure.
And then, that isActors
Not only the protagonist, but also various supporting roles complete the plot, pushing the protagonist forward.
is like "Hurricane" has more than one Gao Qiqiang.
Xu Jiang, Lao Mo, Gao Qisheng. It's the colorful black that really makes the quality of the episodes soar.
"Ice Hunting" also has a lot of group dramas, such as one of the drug dealers in the playBrother Chang
Brother Chang controls the largest channel in the city.
He designed to cooperate with Huang Zongwei in order to monopolize his drug-making technology and monopolize the *** network in the region.
As a snake-level figure, Brother Chang acts ruthlessly and arrogantly, but he is thoughtful.
In the current plot, he is not only Huang Zongwei's partner, but also the biggest force in suppressing Huang.
Originally, the confrontation between the two was faintly flowing.
But who expected that Brother Chang suddenly exposed his family and faintly set up a flag.
The supporting characters forcibly reduce their intelligence, and the texture of the group portrait is naturally difficult to establish.
And, of course, there is the overlooked hard power.
When the play itself is not attractive enough to attract the audience, the problems exposed are even more obvious.
Photography, lighting, art, costumes, makeup, props, editing.
In the past, we often attributed the credit for a successful drama to the actors, directors, and screenwriters.
But forget that film and television itself are the result of teamwork.
Just like Fan Wei after the explosion of "The Long Season", he emphasized many times that this is a win-win result.
From this level, it is not only Zhang Songwen who has achieved Gao Qiqiang.
In all fairness, "Ice Hunting" as a low-cost online drama itself can not cause much splash.
At the time of filming this drama, Zhang Songwen had not yet participated in "Hurricane".
Perhaps, similar characters also gave him the opportunity to accumulate experience, which in turn became the nutrients for him to shape the role of Gao Qiqiang.
But it is precisely because of the success of the role that the actor exploded that further raised the audience's expectations.
When this expectation was disappointed, doubts followed.
In the final analysis, it is not so much that the audience wants to see Zhang Songwen, but that they still want to be optimistic about the work.
And this is not something that can be done by one actor who takes the lead and turns the tide.
In the final analysis, it fills the audience's thirst for good works.
One Zhang Songwen is far from enough.
