What is the level of "South to North" in period dramas?
Maybe it doesn't have the more impactful sense of time like "The World" and "Big River", maybe it just tells the story of a small city called Ningyang in the northeast, and the story is the police on the train.
Wang Xin and Ma Kui, the master and apprentice, met in 1978, fell in love and killed each other, they are also teachers and friends, an unruly little apprentice, a ** with real skills, there are contradictions between them outside of work, but back to work, they cherish each other, this is a very touching emotion.
When chasing dramas, there has always been a question, why did the span of forty years keep circling in the seventies and eighties and there has been no progress?
Until the last episode was accelerated, directly into 2009 and 2017, directly accelerated from the 90s, not to mention anything else, the plot of Wang Xin and Ma Yan's marriage is 36 episodes, and it is really a progress bar that is loose before and tight.
I thought that there would be no tragic and joyful plot in this drama, such as Ma Kui's sacrifice while chasing Jia Jinlong, this plot was unexpected, a bit dramatic.
Ma Kui was stabbed and sacrificed by Jia Jinlong, for Wang Xin, this is a huge blow, this is his **, but also his partner and comrade-in-arms, and his father-in-law, such a relationship, watching the old horse injured, he went crazy.
Bai Jingting's crying scene is also on the hot search, let's look at an actor's acting skills, in fact, we can't avoid such ups and downs, and see how they interpret their roles under more intense emotions.
Wang Xin's crying scene, I think it is very substitutional, because in the end, the audience's emotions are also in place, watching Ma Kui from middle age to old age, thinking that he can retire with peace of mind, but he sacrifices at work, this reluctance and unwillingness are empathetic.
Bai Jingting is not a particularly eye-catching handsome guy, I think he has some relaxation, some kind and natural temperament, Wang Xin's role doesn't need to be very handsome, let alone any sword eyebrows and starry eyes, he needs some popularity and pyrotechnic image, we don't want to see a very pretentious Wang Xin.
In the last crying scene, Bai Jingting cried very ugly, I think when he was performing, he wouldn't care if his face was distorted in the camera, whether the snot and tears were flowing, he was immersed in the character's emotions and became a character, so we felt him through the screen, and he went crazy.
Life and death are all hardships in life, Wang Xin's feelings for Ma Kui are similar to those of his son to his father, teach himself skills, protect himself, become a family, see the knife on his chest, he can't hold it at all, and we also feel the tension and appeal of the performance.
For actors, this is also a heavy scene, and it is also a test of acting skills, why are many idols not qualified for period dramas, in fact, their acting skills are not up to par, this drama is actually a transformation for Bai Jingting, a kind of performance upgrade.
The last episode is 2017 all of a sudden, how old is Wang Xin at this time? In 1978, he was 18 years old, Wang Xin was 57 years old at this time, he also had his own children, and Ma Jian, who was adopted by Ma Kui, also became a policeman, and this feeling of inheritance will also make the audience feel the temperature at the end of the story.
spent 95% of the time to tell the story of the ** decade, and only gave us a little time in the familiar time period, which is probably deliberate by the director, because the part we are familiar with is complicated to show.
