launched this year are quite exciting. For example, the online drama " Punishment " is comparable to " Crime Storm ". The scale is so large that the audience is still satisfied with it. There are many suspense elements designed in the play, and the key figures involved in the major case are revealed bit by bit through the foreshadowing, which is a very wonderful presentation.
and " Obsession as a Shadow ", this drama was very popular when it first aired. The story focuses on the anti-drug police and drug dealers. In order to find the layers of truth behind a car accident, the team's solving methods are amazing.
There is also the costume suspense drama " Tang Dynasty Strange Stories ". This drama uses a cell method to tell a surprising continuous story, which is subdivided into 8 modules. The characterization of each part is very detailed, making it very enjoyable for the audience to watch. After the show ended, the audience has been waiting for a better suspenseful crime drama to be released. No, "The Returned Daughter" has arrived as scheduled.
Until now, the plot of the show has been facing great controversy, and there are even rumors that it will be unfinished. However, as a short drama with only 12 episodes, the content itself is not problematic, and enough suspense elements can be seen in the early episodes. Is it too early to conclude that it will be unfinished after 8 episodes?
At present, the acting skills of actors have also been complained a lot. As the leading actor, Mei Ting is still giving full strength to her solid acting skills. From the initial praise to the present, it has been relatively stable. Wang Yanhui is also the same, with superb acting skills, but the most questioned is the young actor Zhang Zifeng. She has brought this drama down from the altar again?
01
Mei Ting’s “Three Faces” are the best proof of her strength
The story told in “The Returned Daughter” is more attractive, 9 In the small town of Tanling in the 1900s, Chen Youxi, who ran away from the orphanage, was preparing to investigate the cause of the disappearance of his friend Xiaoxiu. He unexpectedly came to the Li Chengtian family and became their "daughter" who had been missing for many years. Unexpectedly, the Li family hid so many secrets, and the truth behind it gradually emerged.
The series has been aired so far. It can be seen that the overall rhythm is still very fast, creating enough suspense atmosphere and turning points to make the overall plot compact and attractive enough. Focusing on the suspense elements in the play, the play should adopt a film-like lens language to upgrade the relaxed and relaxed sections to become more classic.
At present, the plot of this drama is quite controversial. Some viewers think that there are big loopholes and the design of many details is unreasonable and does not correspond to the previous dramas. Putting these aside for the time being, judging from the expressions of the actors, the drama is still remarkable.
Mei Ting, who plays the leading role, is one of the most attractive characters in the drama. She plays Liao Suifang, who is half the sky of the Li family and has too many secrets hidden in her body. If the videotape had not accidentally leaked out, perhaps a lot of the truth would have been hidden, which would have added fuel to the flames and made the characters more three-dimensional.
Mei Ting, as a powerful actor in the play, has a lot to offer in her performance. For example, her "three faces" when faced with different situations have left a deep impression on too many people.
For example, the "ghost face" that hides a knife in the smile, when faced with the "daughter" who suddenly came home, she did not hide her suspicion at all, and her smile has a huge intimidating power; such as the pretentious "weak face", a few sweet words from her old lover Wang Chongjiang When she can confuse herself, her complexity and inner torment when she sees Li Chengtian are just like the illusion of a weak woman; for example, her cold and gloomy "evil face", when she insists on sending Chen Youxi to a mental hospital, the word "evil" is written all over her determined and unmerciful face.
It can be seen that Mei Ting's acting skills are very delicate, and her control of details is also extremely precise, allowing the audience to see a vivid Liao Suifang. It seems that this is really a character that exists in real life, and it is very immersive.
02
Zhang Zifeng has been questioned, but his acting skills are still very stable.
It really doesn’t hurt if there is no comparison. However, after comparing and comparing, Zhang Zifeng’s acting skills are still good, and the details are handled well. He is definitely not as good as his seniors with more seniority. This should be understandable and tolerant.
Zhang Zifeng plays the lead female lead Chen Youxi in the play. This character has a certain agility from the beginning, expressing the character traits of a child who lives and grows up in an orphanage. He is cautious about the outside world and keeps a certain distance from strangers.
When Chen Youxi came to Li Chengtian's family and became their "daughter" who had been missing for many years, her caution was brought to the extreme. In order to prevent Liao Suifang from becoming suspicious, she had to accept everything and secretly search for clues about Xiaoxiu's disappearance.
Judging from many reviews, Zhang Zifeng's acting skills have been criticized a lot. Some viewers said that many of her shots during the performance were very dull and single, and she always had a cold face when watching other things. She did not make appropriate adjustments according to the psychological changes of the character at all. Her emotional management really needs to be strengthened.
However, if you analyze the setting of the character Chen Youxi, you may understand why Zhang Zifeng performed like this.
First of all, Chen Youxi learned that she had lost her friend Xiaoxiu. She was already in a very sad mood. After entering the Li family, she learned more secrets. Her worry, hesitation and helplessness were all revealed. Furthermore, as a child who grew up in an orphanage, she must be different from children in society. This is affected by the environment in which she grew up.
All in all, in the drama "The Returned Daughter", not only the powerful Mei Ting and Wang Yanhui brought wonderful characters, the characters created by Zhang Zifeng are also worthy of recognition, and there is no such thing as bringing the entire drama down from the altar. Who do you think was better portrayed?
