The TV series "War of the Roses" starring Huang Xiaoming and Yuan Quan was broadcast on CCTV 8 as the successor to "Genius Basic Law". The average ratings of the first two episodes were 0.7, with the highest peak of
However, "The War of the Roses" has some copyright disputes, because in the early stage, some people have been saying that the show is the "Chinese version of The Good Wife", a remake of the classic high-scoring American drama "The Good Wife". This American drama has been filmed for 7 seasons, 7 The quarterly ratings are all above 9 points.
But later, the producers of "The War of the Roses" emphasized that the show was not a remake. However, the plot synopsis, character settings, and story direction were exactly the same as the American version, so the audience was confused as to whether the producers had the copyright.
Because it is a "remake", the "adaptation" of this drama is also a bit acclimatized, and the American style is a bit heavy, such as the villa area where the heroine appears, the roast chicken on hand, the way the food is plated, and the male protagonist's hands. The baseball I played are not Chinese elements, are not in line with the national conditions, and the localization effect is not good. As a legal-themed work,
’s plot has also been accused of being suspended and ungrounded.
Just like the American version, Yuan Quan plays the heroine Gu Nian. Her husband has a successful career and is the best lawyer in the city. After getting married and having children, she has been a housewife for ten years for the sake of her family. However, her husband is suddenly accused of helping The defenders colluded with each other, destroyed evidence, and was arrested. The fact that he had cheated was also exposed in court.
After her husband was imprisoned, Gu Nian had no choice but to return to the workplace for the sake of her and her daughter's life.
At the invitation of the male protagonist Fengsheng, Gu Nian joined Yishenghe Law Firm. She and the male protagonist were college classmates. She was also the most talented student in the school, but she gave up her career for ten years for the sake of her family. Because of her husband's affairs, Because of her age, there was a lot of gossip in the law firm when Gu Nian returned to work. Some people arranged her relationship with the male protagonist, and there was also a lawyer who had been targeting her.
But in order for Gu Nian to stay, Fengsheng has been helping her to quickly integrate and adapt to working life.
Fang Xu, played by Dai Xu, is a newcomer who entered the law firm at the same time as Gu Nian. The two are also competitors. The first case Gu Nian received was a drunk driving case, but what was originally an ordinary drunk driving case eventually evolved into something more... For a serious crime, the defendant, like Gu Nian, was a stay-at-home wife with a daughter, but she was willing to take the blame for her husband, and only agreed to tell the truth after some sensational persuasion by the heroine.
But there are also bugs in this case, because some people took pictures of the crime, so it is unlikely that the defendant came to the scene and took the blame for her husband. There is also a problem with the
timeline, because after the car accident, there was a period of time until the defendant arrived at the scene. The defendant did not call the emergency number until he arrived. This period of time was not short, but the police did not find it at all during the investigation, so the details are somewhat unclear. Can't afford to scrutinize.
However, the pace of this drama is very fast, probably because the first two cases are relatively simple, so one case can be solved in one and a half episodes.
The second case that the heroine received was that the neighbor’s son was involved in a criminal case and came to her for help. The heroine also successfully helped him get out of the crime. As soon as the heroine arrived at the law firm, she won two battles. , but her test is not over yet.
Domestic workplace dramas and legal dramas have a common problem, which is suspension. There is a big gap between it and real workplace life. This is also a point that has been pointed out more often in "The War of the Roses". In addition, the American version is used as a comparison, and there are voices of doubt. a lot of.
But the performances of the actors are very good. The leading actors in this drama are all acting talents. Needless to say, Yuan Quan, who just won the Baihua Film Festival, her acting skills are very relaxed and natural, and her temperament is also very good. Her appearance is elite, The lawyer was very persuasive.
It’s just that the filter of this drama is set a bit too high, and the texture on the actor’s face is worn away, while the flaws on the supporting character’s face are clearly visible, but Yuan Quan actually doesn’t need to use such a heavy filter, her greatest charm is It's just her temperament, and the heroine's daughter is almost in junior high school, so it's normal to have some signs of age on her face.
But I have to sigh, the 51-year-old Yu Feihong is so beautiful that you can’t tell your actual age just by looking at her face, even with her stickers The shape of her scalp and her temperament are still amazing. "Time has never failed to defeat a beauty", this sentence has been best interpreted by her, and her aura is very strong. As a law firm , she is like a sea god. Yu Feihong supported the role of Ling Yi and walked with wind. He was a surprising presence in "The War of the Roses".
Of course, the 44-year-old Huang Xiaoming is also in very good condition. He has successfully lost weight and is dressed in a younger style. He looks very fresh and handsome. It is really rare that he can maintain this condition at the age of 44. Of course, his acting skills are also good. good.
Wang Zhifei , Dai Xu, etc. who participated in "The War of the Roses" also brought many surprises to everyone, but such a strong starring cast content, the plot is not rigorous enough, and with the American version as a comparison, the reputation is a bit worrying. I feel that the biggest highlight of the drama is the leading actors, Yuan Quan + Huang Xiaoming + Yu Feihong. Even if this lineup has some flaws in the plot, I believe there will still be Many viewers bought into it and found it quite enjoyable to watch them perform.
