CCTV is simply a gathering place for good dramas, especially in the main theme drama, almost every drama can firmly grasp the audience's attention. "The World" launched at the beginning of the year has filled the sense of the times, and the development and changes of small characters spanning 50 years, making people feel the strong atmosphere of the times and pure emotions.
After that CCTV pointed the camera at model . "Holy daughter of the Mountain " highly restored Huang Wenxiu's short but glorious life, touched the hearts of many viewers, from submission to actors' acting skills, they all reflected full sincerity. Finally, with a Douban score of 9.3 points, it filled out another well-known work as a domestic drama.
Not only that, this year's tribute dramas are more ruthless than the other ones. "People by the Canal" and " Big Test " will both grasp the ratings. Now the new drama " Hutong " has also started airing. The ratings exceeded 1 that night, directly winning the first place in the national ratings in the prime time, leaving other dramas far behind.
I have to say that this data is quite good, and with the popularity, the reputation of the show's premiere has also been released, and the audience's scoring and evaluations are all sharp. So is this drama really good?
Old Beijing is full of fireworks, the plot rhythm is full of online
"Hutong"'s four-star and five-star praises are given to the overall plot. After watching it, some viewers said: "Unexpectedly good, the drama has positive energy", "very warm and beautiful, the director filmed the old Beijing fireworks well", and "full group portraits". It can be seen that the content of the drama has been recognized by many people.
The play is divided into three era chapters, 1950, 1980 and 2019 are nodes, telling the story of three generations of women from the inception, development to the development of neighborhood committees, and always upholding the original intention of serving the people.
As a drama focusing on old Beijing, it does not have enough time to shoot, but also has to produce Beijing flavor. The first chapter is the story of Tian Zao ( Zhao Lusi decoration) who carried the first generation of neighborhood committees.
At first, she was just a "hutongchuan" and led her brothers to grab the spy's gun. After returning from triumphantly, she walked around the streets and alleys. old Beijing burly stalls, wonton stalls, fried dough sticks bean juice stalls, and the screen was filled with a strong fireworks.
Then Tian Zao came to the wrestling arena again and insisted on comparing with Tiedan, who was of extraordinary skill, but in the end she threw herself out of nosebleed , which also gave the drama effect sufficiently. It can also be seen that Tian Zao is different from the heroine in common domestic dramas. She is generous but righteous but impulsive and reckless.
In order to avenge, she shot the domineering Han Qingkui with her gun. Not only did she missed a single shot, but she was beaten to the point of bruising and swollen face. The plot gradually became the main point. In the early days of liberation, Tian Zao saw soldiers bringing criminals to justice and devote themselves to serving the masses. Her growth in the follow-up story will be the main highlight. Of course, the pure and simple love line with Tiedan also whets the audience's appetite. In addition to the plot online, the drama's portrayal of the characters is also vivid and three-dimensional, making it a reality for all living beings in the old Beijing city.
The honest and kind hawker Gui uncle, the ancestors' glorious but unlucky Suo Ye, the forced to sell himself, and the righteous and kind soldier Lin Zheng are all microcosms of an era, and the sense of progress can be felt in these little people.
It can be said that "Hutong" has tension in the narrative, the pace is progressing rapidly, and all kinds of characters in the context of the times are portrayed in full and eye-catching. The most important thing is the fireworks in the play, which is sure to evoke memories of the older generation and also allow young audiences to re-recognize this vibrant old Beijing.
The acting skills of the female lead were questioned, and costumes became a major flaw
The one-star and two-star bad reviews of "Hutong" were mainly given to the actors' acting skills and costumes. Some netizens bluntly said: "The only drawback is that Zhao Lusi plays like a trouser girl", "no drama face-shot effect", "everything is new", etc. The evaluation is quite sharp.
I really didn’t expect that "Hutong" was a star-studded drama, and Zhao Lusi was invited to be the heroine of the first chapter. Generally, actors of ancient opera dramas performed poorly on the big screen.
She played Tian Zaoyi, wearing marijuana braids and wearing bloated and rustic cotton jackets and trousers. She made a breakthrough in her style, but the embarrassment is that these clothes are old-fashioned, but clean and new. You should know that in that era, it was common to have patches on their bodies, let alone orphans without fathers like her.
If you look closely, you will find that Zhao Lusi even had spotless soles and there were no traces of wear. How could this be the outfit of ordinary people in that era? I can only say that the idol burden is so heavy, it is really not suitable to star in a serious drama.
Moreover, Zhao Lusi's round face, which is still white and tender even without makeup, looks like a person who has never suffered any hardship. She feels too inconsistent with the character, and the original line does not have a Beijing accent. She occasionally becomes vague and does not have much blessing for character creation, which also makes the acting shortcomings more obvious.
When you receive favors from others, you always show a look of surprise and gratitude. Looking at Tian Zao's expression, why are you still looking at the big and small? His eyes were inexplicably dull and he looked like he hadn't woken up, which was really unattractive.
and the famous scene of her fighting with Tiedan, played by the male lead Hou Minghao, . It seems to show Tian Zao's true temperament. After falling to his nose, he actually licked it with his tongue. This kind of "skin art" is really incomprehensible. Is it illegal to use his hands?
Not only that, Zhao Lusi's performance style in the play is not as held in the ancient puppet drama, but it always gives people a sense of visualization of facial features flying around. I am afraid that the performance regardless of appearance is a reflection of strength, but in the eyes of the audience, it is still more embarrassing.
In addition, the reason for being criticized by netizens is Zhao Lusi’s own relationship. After acting, she doesn’t remember the background of the era in the play. She can’t tell the time of founding the country. It will inevitably make people feel that she has never used it in this drama at all, but is just a gilding.
In fact, this kind of tribute drama pays more attention to the overall strength of the actors, which is also an important work of Zhao Lusi's transformation. Judging from her acting skills, she really disappoints the expectations of the director and the audience.
Not only the heroine, but also the hero Hou Minghao also performed mediocrely. Compared with the acting skills of middle-aged powerful actors such as Tang Zeng , Chi Shuai , and Zhou Xianxin , the gap is clear at a glance. When the hero and female protagonist cannot bear the drama, it is no wonder it will affect the reputation.
In short, as a tribute drama, "Hutong" focuses on representatives of female neighborhood committees in Beijing Hutong. The theme is positive, the content is eye-catching, and the plot has a funny and time-honored feeling, which can achieve a fascinating effect.
However, the actors' acting skills obviously failed to meet the audience's expectations. Fortunately, this drama has only been updated on TV for 3 episodes, and maybe there will be some improvement in the subsequent plot. Overall, the viewing is good and worth chasing. So do you think this drama is good?
