In fact, this work is based on three different era nodes, telling the story of ordinary people in old Beijing hutongs, three generations of women taking over the baton of neighborhood committee director and taking root at the grassroots level to contribute to the masses.
also shows the power of women. The focus of this drama is different from previous female group dramas. First of all, the three protagonists are related by blood. The grandmother, mother and daughter have all made their own contributions in grassroots work, and all three generations are the directors of the neighborhood committee.
Secondly, the era they experienced was very different. Tian Zao, who first appeared, had just welcomed the liberation of Beiping in 1950, and devoted herself to grassroots construction work. Tian Zao, with a good mass base and a cheerful personality, was the only candidate to support the important position of director of the neighborhood committee. At the same time, she also experienced the reform and opening up period.
mainly presents this part of the content in the early plot. Tian Zao played by Zhao Lusi is particularly impressive. Her lively and lively personality perfectly fits the role, and her acting skills will not make the audience lose their roles, and even let the audience be included in the role from the beginning.
When Zhao Lusi first appeared in the play, she wore a big cotton hat and a torn cotton jacket full of patches. Because she was surrounded by a group of homeless children, she looked like an street skater .
But Tian Zao is a kind-hearted girl. Although her parents were both harmed by rape, she still took these children to live strongly, find ways to make money, and then share the money to the children to make them eat and wear warmth.
Zhao Lusi rarely tried this type of period drama in the past, and her representative works are mostly modern idol dramas, but this time her acting skills allowed the audience to see a different texture.
In that era when it is very likely that you will not be full and you will be in danger of your life at any time, Tian Zao must survive with his tenacious vitality.
, and Zhao Lusi portrayed the fighting spirit and tenacity of not admitting defeat in Tian Zao to the fullest. Although she looked like a soft little girl, she was captured by the other party in minutes when she avenged her parents, but her unwillingness to admit defeat and a heart that always be kind made her step by step the director of the neighborhood committee who is loved by everyone.
Xiaomin, the second young woman in the 1980s, was a stage of transformation from the national economy to market economy, which was different from the problems that needed to be faced during the Tianzao period.
The former needs to face the remaining undercover and spies of the Kuomintang in the early stage of liberation, but in the economic transformation stage, it is more important to help individual businessmen solve their problems.
In the current plot, Xiaomin, played by Cai Wenjing, , has just appeared, wearing a white shirt and a floral skirt, bringing the audience back to that era at once.
The retro look and fashionable outfits that belong to the 1980s are enough to make the audience feel the strong atmosphere of the times.
From the perspective of the role setting, Xiaomin, played by Cai Wenjing, is very different from her mother Tian Zao. Tian Zao survived through hard work and has a casual personality.
But Xiaomin is more quiet and calm, but there is one thing that is very similar to his mother Tian Zao, that is, he looks weak on the surface, but in fact he is extremely firm in his heart.
The third person to appear was Lin Yue, who lived in modern society in 2019. Compared with the era experienced by his mother and grandmother during this period, the biggest difference is that technology is developing faster and faster, with high-rise buildings and the old city of Beijing needs to face reconstruction.
As the new generation of neighborhood committee director, Lin Yue’s primary task is to help residents complete the construction of the old city.
Lin Yue's character will be performed by Guan Xiaotong , but it has not been launched yet.But judging from Guan Xiaotong's appearance, she doesn't have that strong sense of time than her grandmother's period, and her style is not as unique as her mother's period, but is more simple and casual.
sweatshirt with jeans looks natural and comfortable, and the shirt with a skirt makes the sense of professionalism come to your face.
No matter which period it was, "Hutong" vividly portrays women's efforts and hardships in grassroots work. However, the plot has not yet reached the third chapter, and the second chapter has just begun. The role of Xiaomin has just appeared.
, but what is surprising is that all the actors born in the 1990s have started to play their mothers. Zhao Lusi, who plays Tian Zao in the first chapter, is only 23 years old, but she is the mother of 32-year-old Cai Wenjing. The two play the roles of the mother and daughter in the play, Tian Zao is Xiaomin's mother, and they are two generations from the 1950s and 1980s.
This made Zhao Lusi not only become a mother, but also played the role of her mother for an actor who is 9 years older than her. Originally, such casting is easy to make everyone lose their role. After all, Zhao Lusi, who looks full of collagen on her face and looks full of girlishness, doesn’t look like a middle-aged or elderly person no matter how she puts on makeup, but she didn’t expect that she would feel inconsistent.
Since in every different chapter of this drama, the young actors who starred in the star show up alone and did not have the same frame, Zhao Lusi plays Cai Wenjing's mother, but the mother and daughter are independent in the plot. Tian Zao in middle-aged and old age is interpreted by Liu Jia, a born-60s actor, and the age difference between Cai Wenjing and Liu Jia also makes the two have a more mother-daughter flavor when they are in the same frame.
Although the actual age of the two actors, it is easy to feel inconsistent to interpret the mother and daughter, but you can see the intention of the series in the play. Instead of making young actors over-playing old, forcibly performing roles that are not suitable for them, or making middle-aged actors young, they do as much as possible to make the actor's image and role fit.
Zhao Lusi's image and temperament are more suitable for interpreting the lively and lively Tian Zao. She is so recognizable in the play with her twin braids! In terms of acting skills, even though there are still many veteran actors in the actors who act against him, they have not taken away Zhao Lusi's style.
, and Cai Wenjing's performance in this drama was also unexpected. Compared with the popular " Bottom Line " at the same time, Cai Wenjing's role as a female judge in the drama has been criticized by everyone, but the role of Xiaomin in "Hutong" allows Cai Wenjing to truly play her acting advantage. Her gentleness and quietness in her temperament are more suitable for portraying the role of Xiaomin.
accurate casting, coupled with the theme of "Hutong" itself is very attractive, and every chapter has its own highlights. Next is Guan Xiaotong, who plays the heroine in the third chapter, and just watches through the trailer to satisfy everyone's expectations. After all, he is a native of Beijing. Guan Xiaotong's performance as a Beijing girl makes people feel more immersive.
Compare some film and television dramas to allow actors to perform roles that are not suitable for them. "Hutong" can be said to give every actor room to play, allowing characters who are in line with their image and temperament to show their own charm. Does the casting of "Hutong" meet your expectations? Which actor do you like the acting skills of the most?
