Hu Ge's new drama " County Party Committee Courtyard " is currently on the air. Although the reputation is a bit "high and low", it is still a "followable" film and television work, especially the portrayal of the "female cadre" image by several actors in the drama, which is the focus of the audience's attention.
It is also a serious drama. In " Human World ", which will be broadcast in early 2022, the image of "female cadres" is also portrayed. The acting skills of Zhang Kaili and Song Chunli also aroused heated discussions among the audience.
Only by comparing can you know the difference.
In two popular dramas, among the "female cadres" played by five actresses, who is acting awkwardly and who has aura, put them together and compare them, and you will find out who is superior.
Liu Tao
In "County Party Committee Courtyard", Liu Tao plays Li Tang, the county's "Propaganda Minister". But the show is already halfway through, and this important role seems to be just for fun.
In fact, Liu Tao's role in the drama is not as many as the advertising scenes she inserted in the drama. The audience also joked that Liu Tao's main role is to "bring goods" and acting is just incidental.
Liu Tao failed to catch the audience's attention even with this small role. To put it bluntly, he "couldn't catch the role."
Frowning, squinting, and pretending to be deep are some of the expressions Liu Tao often uses in "County Party Committee Courtyard". He may be trying to use this method to show the aura of a "female cadre". This is indeed very convenient, but it tends to lack depth and has a superficial and stiff feeling.
Liu Tao has been in the industry for decades, but his performance format has actually been "solidified".
Starting from " Ode to Joy ", Liu Tao has established his own "acting comfort zone". Since then, in modern dramas such as " I Really Love You ", " Let's Be Good " and "Stars in the Sea", Liu Tao's film and television images are highly repetitive. They are basically the scripts of the heroine Mary Sue, and everything he plays is the same.
In recent years, Liu Tao's main focus has also been on variety shows. After earning more "quick money", it is difficult to seriously consider roles and develop acting skills. This phenomenon is very common in the film and television industry. Many old actors have suffered from it. Huang Lei is a typical example.
In the first few episodes of "County Party Committee Courtyard", Huang Lei's role as "Secretary" was sufficient, but the audience always felt that he would put on an apron to cook in the next second. This is the "sequelae" Huang Lei has brought to the audience after participating in variety reality shows all year round. Even if Huang Lei has carefully considered the role, this "stereotype" is difficult to eliminate through one or two roles.
Liu Tao is following Huang Lei’s old path.
In the past, her roles as Bai Suzhen, A'Zhu, Princess Nihuang were unforgettable to the audience because Liu Tao spent all his thoughts on the characters. Now Liu Tao is more like making money for the sake of making money, without putting his mind on the characters. The result is that his acting skills are superficial and have a "routine-like" feeling.
If Liu Tao still has her original intention of being an actress, I hope she can get out of her "acting comfort zone", seriously ponder the role, and develop her acting skills.
Wu Yue
What is in sharp contrast to Liu Tao's performance in the play is Wu Yue's acting skills.
Ai Xianzhi, played by Wu Yue, portrays the image of a "female cadre" very vividly.
Ai Xianzhi works vigorously and vigorously, has a correct style, outstanding ability, flexible mind but a strong personality. On the surface, looks like a "reasonable and unforgiving" person, but in fact, he is a person with a sharp mouth and a soft heart.
This kind of role is easy to play, but it is difficult to play it well.
Wu Yue's performance is as wonderful as ever. As the plot progresses, Wu Yue presents the image of this "female cadre" to the audience from shallow to deep, which makes people like it more and more.
At the beginning, Wu Yue accompanied the leader to inspect the factory, wearing an inappropriate construction hat, and catering to the leader with a smile on his face, making the audience think that this "female cadre" was probably a villain.
Later, Wu Yue showed no emotion and made the "removed households" admit to lying. He went around begging for help to get funds for the county, and made the audience think that this was a "female cadre" with outstanding work ability.
The scene where the "domestic violence man" punches the iron cabinet to vent his anger on the victim also reflects Ai Xianzhi's down-to-earth side.
Wu Yue used his superb acting skills to combine so many characters and interpret the image of Ai Xianzhi very vividly. The more the audience watched, the more they liked this character.
It is no exaggeration to say that Wu Yue should be one of the best actors in "County Party Committee Courtyard".
In fact, Wu Yue conquered the audience with completely different characters.
In "My First Half of Life", Wu Yue played the role of an annoying "intruder". Her facial expressions matched with her lines made the audience who were too deeply involved in the drama run to her social account to "scream". Wu Yue was dubbed the "most powerful mistress" for a while.
In " Anti-Crime Storm ", Wu Yue played a "mother who protects her son, a cadre with a guilty conscience" . The complex psychology of the character needs to be presented through the actor's acting skills, and Wu Yue did an excellent job.
In the variety show "immersive ", Wu Yue played seven roles by himself, without any flaws, and his line skills are amazing.
"One person has a thousand faces" is a high recognition for an actor, and Wu Yue should have achieved this.
After so many years since his debut, Wu Yue has always taken every role seriously, conquering the audience with his acting skills, without any messy scandals, and remaining clear in the complicated entertainment industry.
Wan Qian
The role played by Wan Qian in "County Party Committee Courtyard" is very interesting. She is not only the wife of the protagonist Hu Ge in the play, but also a "female cadre" in a high position.
This kind of role setting can be described as "mixed joys and sorrows" for actor Wan Qian.
She and Hu Ge are old partners. In " Hunting Ground ", the two had many scenes opposite each other. It should not be difficult to play the husband and wife in "County Party Committee Courtyard" this time.
But to play the role of a "female cadre", Wan Qian should be under a lot of pressure.
should not only reflect the strength of the relationship with Hu Ge, but also show the "female cadre"'s people-friendly style. The contrast can attract the audience's attention, but the prerequisite is that the actors must perform the essence.
At present, Wan Qian’s performance is considered acceptable.
First of all, the down-to-earth makeup of actor .
Buckwheat, played by Wan Qian, is a cadre who goes to the countryside to support. The wind and sun of life on the plateau is reflected in the actor's dark and reddish skin, thin figure and simple clothes.
Then there is the portrayal of the character's aura.
Buckwheat is far away from the government compound, and the people he has the most contact with are the grassroots people. Therefore, it is in line with the actual situation that Buckwheat played by Wan Qian does not seem to have any leadership aura. Being warm, close to the people, and down-to-earth is also a kind of "cadre aura", and Wan Qian's performance is quite good. The emotional scenes between
and Hu Ge are also outstanding. On the surface, it seems that Wan Qian is the stronger one in the relationship between the two. In fact, Wan Qian's backbone in the play is Hu Ge.
In a scene where she is strong on the outside but weak on the inside, Wan Qian played it vividly with her eyes and actions, making the audience fall in love with the "female cadre" thing.
Although she is young, Wan Qian's acting skills are not bad at all. Even if she rarely plays the role of a "female cadre", her performance is remarkable.
Zhang Kaili
In the popular drama "Human World", Zhang Kaili played "Secretary Qu", which once caused controversy among the audience.
Some viewers thought her performance was spot-on, while others thought Zhang Kaili's performance was too heavy and made people laugh.
In fact, this kind of divergence among the audience is caused by the characters in the play having two different lives.
The first is the "Secretary Qu" stage.
Zhang Kaili, who has always played roles such as "mother" and "mother-in-law", does lack the experience of playing "female cadres" and has no such experience herself, so her performance is a bit stiff and has a bit of a "tune-in" attitude.
In terms of expressions and lines, Zhang Kaili's performance is too exaggerated. Her over-exerted expressions and dramatic lines can easily throw the audience off, especially when she is acting with a group of actors with superb acting skills in the play, this shortcoming is even more obvious.
At this stage, the "Secretary Qu" played by Zhang Kaili was too superficial. The audience felt that she was holding on throughout the whole process, with a strong sense of preaching, and her performance was relatively stiff.
"Secretary Qu" retired and became "Old Lady Qu". At this stage, Zhang Kaili's advantages are very targeted, and her acting skills have become very good.
After giving up the title of "female cadre" and returning to the identity of "old lady", Zhang Kaili's previous "tonal" performance has also improved a lot, which has restored her reputation to a large extent.
Zhang Kaili also made it clear in the interview that Qu Xiuzhen's identity, age range and personality are very different from the roles she has played before, and it is indeed a challenge for herself.
Although Zhang Kaili's role as a "female cadre" is a bit stiff, as a veteran actor, dares to challenge her own shortcomings and play roles that she has never been exposed to, which is a kind of dedication in itself.
In fact, the image of "Secretary Qu" played by Zhang Kaili is blunt, which is a bit "nitpicking". As an old actor, Zhang Kaili has presented many roles that the audience can talk about. The successful portrayal of the role of "Liu Huifang" in " Desire " is worthy of the profession of actor.
Zhang Kaili can challenge the image of a "female cadre" in "The World". Although it is a bit controversial, overall she is qualified and deserves recognition.
Song Chunli
The "female cadre" Jin Yueji played by Song Chunli in "The World", in the author's opinion, should be a model of this type of image in film and television dramas in recent years.
also has a "cadre aura". If the "District Secretary" played by Zhang Kaili is a bit "upright" and unnatural, then the "Director Jin" played by Song Chunli It vividly portrays the temperament of the "female cadres" of that era.
The calm, low-key, cautious and thoughtful "Director Jin" makes Song Chunli's performance vivid and enhances the quality of the entire drama.
Like Zhang Kaili, the character played by Song Chunli has also gone through two stages of "incumbency" and "retirement", with a wide age range. Song Chunli transformed from a "female cadre" who was cautious in her words and deeds and even a little unhuman to an "old lady" who was kind, kind and yet principled. The transition was very natural and without any abruptness.
This is due to Song Chunli's acting skills and experience.
Song Chunli, who has been a literary and artistic cadre herself, is very familiar with the way cadres speak and the principles of life. This is reflected in the role. Song Chunli uses several representative movements and expressions, combined with well-chosen lines and tone, to vividly display the image of a "female cadre" in front of the audience. Without more than ten years of experience, it is difficult to get it right.
For example, when faced with the gift Zhou Bingyi gave to herself during the Spring Festival in the play, Song Chunli showed her inner concerns with eyes full of inquiry and vigilance, allowing the audience to experience the gap, reality and helplessness caused by the different statuses of the two families.
When she was seriously ill, the dialogue between "Old Lady Jin" and the leaders of the organization was even more exciting. She hesitated to mention her daughter and son-in-law. When the audience thought that the old lady was going to pave the way for her family, she used the plot-reversing line "Let Bingyi walk the road of Bingyi himself" to bring out her "personal appeal" - to let Zhou Bingkun be released from prison two days early to celebrate the New Year with her family.
This dialogue not only reflects the principles and character of a "female cadre", but also reflects the human touch of an old man and the guilt of being indifferent to his relatives all these years. It instantly made the audience cry.
"Textbook acting" has appeared many times in the drama "Human World", but to be able to interpret the image of a "female cadre" so well, Song Chunli's acting skills and life experience are among the best.
Conclusion
There is no emotional color, nor is it ranked according to seniority. I will rank the "female cadre" roles played by the five actresses in the two popular dramas based on their acting skills. I believe that the audience will have their own ranking in their hearts.
In the author's mind, the five actors who played the role of "female cadres" were ranked as follows:
Song Chunli ranked first, Wu Yue ranked second, Zhang Kaili ranked third, Wan Qian ranked fourth, and Liu Tao ranked last.
When playing such a role, aura and life accumulation are very important. Being too formal or too casual will not satisfy the audience's image of a "female cadre". It is necessary to be both down-to-earth and aura, which is indeed a challenge for actors.
Dear readers, do you agree with the "female cadre" image rankings of the five actors?
