incarnated as a strict teacher's loving father, the old drama bones sincerely interpret the role of the iron police
"South to North" mainly tells the story of Ma Kui (played by Ding Yongdai), an old criminal policeman who returned from being rehabilitated for ten years, and Wang Xin (played by Bai Jingting), a young and talented young policeman who became masters and apprentices and worked together to solve the case. Ding Yongdai has left many impressive roles on the audience with his excellent acting skills on the screen in the past, such as the gangster "Bai Baoshan" in "China Criminal Investigation Case No. 1", and the father of the Zhou family "Zhou Zhigang" in "The World", etc., which are well-deserved old drama bones. Playing the role of railway policeman Ma Kui this time, Ding Yongdai once again challenged himself and gave new vitality to the role.
In the play, Ding Yongdai plays the ** Ma Kui who cares for Wang Xin meticulously but is very strict at the same time, and Ding Yongdai appropriately shows Ma Kui's hard-mouthed and soft-hearted strict teacher image with his deep understanding of the role. At the same time, Ma Kui, as a father, when facing his daughter Ma Yan (played by Jin Chen), although he always quarrels with his daughter on the surface, his words are full of love for his daughter. Ding Yongdai's natural and relaxed acting skills vividly portray Ma Kui's father image of "knife mouth and tofu heart". As an acting school, Ding Yongdai partnered with young actors this time to go deep into the role, understand the emotions of the characters, and resonate with the audience with his true interpretation.
Highlighting the stark contrasts, the powerful faction devotes himself to interpreting the multi-faceted life
"South to North", as a period drama about railway police, shows the human situation and human warmth in the process of rapid development of the times through the stories of two generations of railway police officers on a train. The play not only portrays the image of Ma Kui as a conscientious railway policeman, but also depicts another side of his daily family life, making this character more vivid and three-dimensional. And Ding Yongdai's multi-faceted wonderful interpretation makes the image of Ma Kui flesh and blood, real and credible.
Ding Yongdai shows Ma Kui's reliable and stable temperament as a railway policeman in the play, and also shows his very life-like characteristics. In the play, Ma Kui frequently quarrels with others, through lines full of Northeast regional characteristics and humorous tone, Ding Yongdai's performance gives us a glimpse of a mature and stable Ma Kui who is different from his work, and his image is more playful and cute. is not only a serious and dedicated railway policeman, but also a strict and attentive **, but also a strict and benevolent father, in the face of Ma Kui's multi-faceted image, Ding Yongdai used superb acting skills to perform Ma Kui's sense of contrast and realism, bringing a real Ma Kui to the audience.
The drama "South to North" officially launched today, and I believe that the strong cast and exciting story content will arouse attention and discussion from all walks of life, and the unique memory and mood of the times in the play are also expected. Let's wait and see what kind of wonderful performances Ding Yongdai and other actors will contribute in the play.
