Among the still active male Hong Kong stars, Zheng Jiaying is undoubtedly one of them. Audiences familiar with Hong Kong dramas understand his acting skills.
Among Zheng Jiaying's representative works, the drama " Angry Street " can be said to be a milestone work.
With this drama, he won three awards: TVB,000 Star Award Ceremony "Best Actor", "Most Favorite Male Characters by Audiences", and "TVB Popularity Award".
"low-to-big" Rolia has also become one of Zheng Jiaying's most representative roles. He plays this kind of double-faced prodigal son so handsome.
It’s a pity that due to the title, this drama is now being paid attention to by few viewers, but almost all viewers who have watched this drama will sigh at Zheng Jiaying’s acting skills.
"Angry Street" was aired in 2011, so this drama was inevitably infected with the characteristics of the popularity of Hong Kong dramas at that time: random names.
First watch the title of the drama, I thought it was a police and gangster film with the theme of Flying Tigers or Stormtroopers . Who knew it was a lawyer drama?
The title of this drama is actually not closely related to the plot of its own, but for Hong Kong dramas of that era, it doesn’t matter what the title is. The audience who watches the drama often pays more attention to who the actors in the drama. With the strong cast of "Furious Street", the drama won the favor of many viewers at that time.
The reason why "Raging Street" is a iconic work of Zheng Jiaying's career is because Zheng Jiaying abandoned the traditional gentle image in this drama and met the audience as a ruffian lawyer.
In addition to the image changes, Zheng Jiaying also said goodbye to her noble person Wang Xinwei . This is the first time since she started her career, she has parted ways with Wang Xinwei. You should know that almost every work of the latter has tailored the male protagonist's character for him.
In fact, many viewers questioned Zheng Jiaying's decision at that time. It was very dangerous to leave a producer who favored him. There was never a shortage of examples in the entertainment industry where people had a good future, but their careers plummeted after their transformation.
The reason is that familiar producers often have a tacit understanding with the actors. At the beginning of the script design, the producers will design the performance of the roles based on the characteristics of the actors themselves, thereby achieving the effect of one plus one greater than two.
And when we have watched the plot of "Angry Street", it is not difficult to understand Zheng Jiaying's choice.
The drama is characterized by the subject of lawyers. Zheng Jiaying plays the lawyer Roliya. She was originally a profit-oriented lawyer, but after she retired for several years, she set up a law firm dedicated to serving the poor.
With the efforts of his companions, the firm became a good legal helper for local residents, but the trouble came to Rolia without realizing it.
"Angry Street" focuses on the social element of legal justice. Unlike other TV series that describes lawyer elites, this drama takes root in ordinary people.
Rolia and her companions in the play are committed to providing legal support to ordinary people, and they also fight to save their sweethearts and villains' lawyers.
The elements that help the weak and heroes save beauty will never go out of date at any time. If this drama is broadcast now, I think there will be many viewers who like it.
It can be said that Zheng Jiaying's transformation was successful. He did not stick to the image of Mr. Swen that was unchanging.
In this drama, he was originally a well-dressed lawyer elite, but he retreated bravely under the discovery of his conscience, and devoted himself to the public welfare undertaking after years of silence.
In the play, Rolia has gone from an elite to a ruffian lawyer. This image change actually symbolizes Zheng Jiaying's own transformation.
In addition to Zheng Jiaying, the female lead of this drama Myolie Wu is also the key to success. In Hong Kong dramas, the heroine often acts as a vase, but in the drama "Angry Street", Myolie Wu is not only competent for the vase The role of the character also uses his superb acting skills to bring the image of a female lawyer to life.
In fact, if we investigate the character, we will find the director's unique thoughts. Zheng Jiaying, Myolie Wu, and Shi Xiu represent the image of lawyers at different stages respectively.
Unfortunately, even though "Angry Street" was so popular with many viewers back then, few viewers can now pay attention to this work.
On the one hand, it is because the title cannot accurately reflect the positioning of the work, and on the other hand, it is because this drama is still a traditional setting for the male and female protagonists to play the boss. For viewers in the new era, the plot of this drama is not bad. Some are simple.
Overall, "The Street of Rage" should be a relatively unique work in Hong Kong dramas. It is not only a work of professional themes, but also puts its perspective on the people at the bottom, which is for any work It is a rare manifestation.
If you have a unique preference for workplace dramas, then this work should be able to take you to enjoy a unique show. Do you think Zheng Jiaying's performance in this drama is the best in her career?
