's "Happiness to Ten Thousands of Homes 2", which was launched at the end of June, can be said to be the most outstanding group drama this year. I thought that this work, which boasted female inspirational themes, was another golden finger's career advancement, but I didn't expect that as soon as "Happiness to Ten Thousands of Homes" was released, it caught the audience off guard with its wonderful group portrait scenes.

In the first episode, "Happiness to Ten Thousands of Homes" staged a sharp contradiction. The village director's son made a fuss about He Xingfu's wedding on the day of his wedding, but calling it a fuss was actually a hooligan act. Of course He Xingfu refused to do anything when he saw it. He took a stool and hit Wan Chuanjia on the back of the head.

With such a fuss, this happy day was completely ruined. The guests dispersed and the Wang family became a mess.

In the first two episodes, in addition to being 100% disgusted with the character Wan Chuanjia, the audience also had some indescribable feelings of contradiction towards every character in the play.

According to my mother-in-law, I have never been able to distinguish between right and wrong. Today, He Xingfu needs to seek justice. However, in the subsequent plot, everyone will also know that it was Wan Shan Tang’s help that saved He Xingfu who almost died on the birth bed. . It is true that the Wan family made mistakes, but when He Xingfu came to the door for the first time, Wan Shantang also admitted his son's fault.

Looking at the Wang family’s mother-in-law and father-in-law, the two elderly people were indeed worried because He Xingfu smashed the head of the village director’s son, but neither of them said harsh words to their daughter-in-law, especially the actor who played the father-in-law Zhang Xiqian , the more I watch it, the more sad it becomes, and the more I watch it, the more distressed it becomes.

The humbleness of ordinary villagers was completely brought to life by Zhang Xiqian.

In the play, the father-in-law played by Zhang Xiqian is actually a person who is not good at words. He does not have as many lines as the mother-in-law in the play. Most of the time, he is just a background figure, slightly hunched over, just an ordinary rural person who has been humble for half his life. In the first episode of

, Wan Shantang came to the Wang family’s wedding as the village director. Wan Shan Tang walked in front, and He Xingfu's mother-in-law was beside him making various flattering remarks. In this scene, Zhang Xiqian was following behind the two of them, with his upper body hunched over. He knew that Wan Shan Tang could not see him at all, but he still kept smiling.

In the same episode, He Xingfu's parents-in-law came to apologize for the first time, took some gifts, and knelt on the ground as soon as they entered the house. Wan Shantang ordered the two of them, saying that he didn't want to argue, but the father-in-law played by Zhang Xiqian, a student who always did the wrong thing whether he was kneeling or standing, couldn't say anything for a long time, and his whole face was wrinkled. Together, it is written full of "worry".

Yes, the Wang family is indeed a loser. He, the father-in-law, knows that it is the Wan Chuan family who has done the gangster thing, but he is still afraid of the Wan family's power and status. He feels that his wife is too hot-tempered and will never end. But for the sake of his wife, he was willing to spend 1,000 yuan from his own pocket to calm her anger, and he was also willing to visit the house a second time to intercede for the new daughter-in-law again.

To put it bluntly, the character played by Zhang Xiqian is a timid and honest man. He is afraid of trouble, but he has no evil intentions. Even if he is afraid, he still protects the Wang family and his wife.

Zhang Xiqian's scenes are all about the squeaking and whining he makes every time he opens his mouth, the way he looks through the crack in the door when he comes to the door for the second time, looking like he has nothing to do, the way he can't straighten his back, and all the time. I can't let go of the market energy.

However, many viewers may have forgotten when watching the drama. At the beginning of this year, Zhang Xiqian also earned enough tears from the audience in another hit drama "The Beginning".

The appearance and tone are so similar, but the audience still doesn't recognize Zhang Xiqian

Zhang Xiqian in "The Beginning" is also a low-level figure. He once had a complete family, but because of a prison sentence, he became a middle-aged man living alone. man. When "The Beginning" began to investigate the suspects who carried bombs into the car, Ma Guoqiang, who had criminal experience, quickly attracted the attention of the protagonist.

But in fact, Ma Guoqiang is an honest and ordinary person. When Xiao Heyun crushed his watermelon several times, he was so angry that his mouth trembled, but he just pushed Xiao Heyun to the ground. And the moment Xiao Heyun was pushed down, he realized that he had overreacted, apologized quickly, and finally shared the rotten watermelon with the passengers in the car.

When telling the experience of the character Ma Guoqiang, the audience also felt sorry for the father's experience. Carrying a big bag of watermelon, he rushed all the way to his son, just because his son said in the circle of friends that he wanted to eat fresh watermelon.

With the same hairstyle, almost the same plain clothes, and even when talking, the father-in-law in "Happiness Comes to Ten Thousands of Houses" is as arrogant as Ma Guoqiang in "The Beginning". But from the audience's point of view, it is difficult for us to relate the two characters together.

And this is actually the shaping power of a capable actor. Looking back now, Zhang Xiqian in "The Beginning" also put his acting skills into details. After he was imprisoned for killing someone while riding a tricycle, he actually thought about his wife and children.

When his wife came to visit him in prison, he picked up the phone with joy, and the corners of his eyes became bright with a smile. But when his wife revealed her intentions, his expression instantly froze. However, he was not angry or accusing, but there was just a layer of mist in his eyes. In the end, he could only accept it helplessly.

He understands that his experience in prison will make life difficult for his wife and son, so even though he misses his relatives, he is still willing to sacrifice for it. This kind of acting is like the father-in-law in "Happiness Comes to Ten Thousands of Houses". There is obviously no emotional outburst scene, but it directly pokes the audience's heart and makes people's noses sore.

As an actor, Zhang Xiqian is also an old acquaintance of the audience, and almost every time he portrays the same honest and arrogant character.

has something in common with these characters, that is, they may seem humble and fearful, but they are brave enough to sacrifice a lot for the people they love. I think this kind of careful acting is the key to Zhang Xiqian's interpretation of the humble character at the bottom.

Of course, from the current point of view, Zhang Xiqian is only a supporting role in "Happiness to Ten Thousands of Homes". Although he has captured the audience's attention with his acting, the audience wants to see his character arc in the plot. After all, with an arc, a character can be considered a complete screen character. Whether he can stand up straight and be a good person, and whether he can accept He Xingfu again, are all the future highlights of this character.

Finally, the author also believes that judging from the current results of "Happiness to Ten Thousands of Houses" after the broadcast, there will be many characters that will make the audience shine in the follow-up content of this drama. The wonderful group portraits must also be the highlight of this drama throughout.
