" Hutong " that I have been looking forward to for so long has finally started broadcasting. But after watching six episodes in one go, the more I watch it, the more disappointing it is.
01: The disappointing thing to make
is that the first thing to say is that the production is really too rough.
Before it started broadcasting, "Hutong" claimed to be a "time drama".
More than a dozen old actors were in charge and chose to start broadcasting on the eve of National Day. "Hutong" has a lot of ambitions.
When it comes to the drama of the era, it is inevitable that " People in the World " will be popular in the first half of the year.
The drama, from the plot, to the role, as well as the actor's acting skills, and even the costumes, props and post-production, can be said to be excellent.
uses the most simple lens to focus on the changes of small characters in the torrent of the times. The simplicity and heaviness are the biggest highlights of this drama.
films of the era dramas. The heaviness of history, the precipitation of the times, and the substitution of the characters are all necessary.
If the show is not presented in place, then the show has undoubtedly failed halfway.
The first chapter in "Hutong" puts the story in old Beijing on the eve of founding ceremony .
How to reflect the heritage and fireworks of the old city of Beijing, and how to photograph the broken feeling of old Beijing after war and everything is in trouble.
How to perform the hardships of old Beijingers under war, the confusion in the face of regime change, and the market arousing the vitality of life.
is the most difficult part of this chapter.
But obviously, "Hutong" was not well filmed.
From the city's buildings, to the street furnishings, and the crowds of vendors, it can be seen that the director wants to work hard to shoot the flavor of old Beijing.
But there is no carefully crafted and carefully made costumes and props. The more you pile it up like this, the more obvious the "acting" component will be.
, especially such a "new" costume and props, and the later filters make the whole drama look very inconsistent, just like a certain audience commented, "film studio flavor".
Take this breakfast scene as an example. At first glance, it is indeed very hot.
Steaming breakfast stall, bustling crowds. There are also whispers between vendors, which makes the whole picture look like it, not only has the sense of market but also the human touch between old neighbors.
But if you slow down the camera, look at the deliberate furnishings on the street, look at the vendor's clean cuffs, and his inexperienced pounding movements.
Then go to see the bowls, tables, and even the snow on the ground, which reveals a trace of "acting". There is no texture of life, it is all about acting props.
Compared with the careful polishing of the props in "Hutong", "Hutong" lost no matter how little.
But what disappoints is not only the production level, but also the acting skills of the starring actors.
02: Disappointing Zhao Lusi
In the era drama, the most outstanding acting skills are often those old actors with experience and precipitation of acting skills.
Take "The World" as an example. The acting skills of Ding Yongdai and Sarina can be said to be "silent and silent", but they are also very vivid.
has no ups and downs, like a trickle of flow. But his superb acting skills have made every performance come to the hearts of the audience.
is simple and real, delicate and tense. It was very empathetic for the audience to watch.
Although the old actors are the highlight of their acting skills, young actors are also an indispensable highlight in the dramas of the era because of their immaturity and vitality.
As long as young actors get the position, it is not difficult to become popular. But it is obvious that Zhao Lusi in "Hutong" is still disappointing.
From its debut to now, Zhao Lusi has been wandering in the idol circle. Therefore, her idol face is actually a flaw in acting in a serious drama.
But as the first drama in her career, many viewers, including the author, hope to see Zhao Lusi's breakthrough.
So although it is not optimistic, it is full of expectations.
result, after finishing six episodes in one go, all I can see is hard to describe.In the drama "Hutong", Zhao Lusi's acting skills have three fatal flaws. The first thing to say about
is the line issue.
Zhao Lusi's line problem has a long history. The pronunciation is unclear and the pronunciation is not focused. If you say a line or two, you may still feel that it is not a big problem.
But once there are too many lines, Zhao Lusi’s problems will be exposed to the fullest.
Zhao Lusi's line skills are powerless in front of powerful actors. Even the Hou Minghao , which is a young idol actor, is incomparable.
In addition to the problem of line pronunciation, Zhao Lusi also made a fatal mistake in her lines, which is her accent.
The role of Tian Zao in the play is an authentic Beijing girl. But Zhao Lusi's lines did not have any "Beijing flavor".
is the same alley, and the powerful actors talk about , Beijing movie , and when Zhao Lusi comes here, he feels full of incongruity.
The second thing to say is the eye problem.
judging the quality of an actor's acting skills, many times, there is no need for lines or body language. You can savor it with just your eyes.
Zhao Lusi's eye scene, the problem is not obvious when shooting the long-term vision. But once the camera becomes a close-up, her eyes will make or break.
eyes are unconscious and their eyes are distracted.
seems to have not woken up, and it seems to be unable to focus. Not to mention that there is a chance in your eyes, even normal eye contact is not available.
is like this in " Star Han Qiang ", and it is still the case when it comes to "Hutong".
The last thing to say is Zhao Lusi’s wrong judgment on the character.
In the play, Tian Zao is a character full of suffering. But her suffering was wrapped in a layer of tough and optimistic cloak.
Not only that, under the education of our party and the care of neighbors, Tian Zao has a growth line and a redemption journey.
So this character looks simple, but it also has her complexity and versatility.
But Zhao Lusi used her way of acting in idol dramas.
Put Cheng Shaoshang in "Starry and Han Brilliant" and Tian Zao in "Hutong", which can be said to be completely invisible.
This feeling is even more obvious when watching Zhao Lusi's crying scene.
Howling crying scenes, coupled with slightly emotional lines, can be said to be a fair bit in idol dramas.
But in the main drama, how do you watch it and how it is out of the drama?
03: "Three religions and nine kinds of things" has become the biggest highlight of "Hutong"
Having said so much, is there any highlight of "Hutong"?
has it, which is the "three religions and nine ranks" in the alley.
In "Farewell My Concubine", Cheng Dieyi master once said, "We are all inferior, so don't dislike anyone."
, the "lower nine-rate" is the biggest highlight of the first chapter of "Hutong".
0 Uncle who sells tripe in the alley is very busy. Only by getting up early and going to bed late every day can you get a family of food and clothing. A small person like
is insignificant in the face of the times. In front of big names, it is even more trivial.
But this is such a small person who takes good care of the two orphans, Tian Zao and Coal Hu, who lost their parents in the alley.
Send a pancake today and a oil dumpling tomorrow.
The simplicity and warmth of the little character are fully reflected in this character.
The actor who plays Uncle Gui, is a familiar face named Fangzibin . In "The World", he also plays the role of the policeman Gong Weize, who was corrupted by power.
It can also be seen from the role of Gong Weize that the actor is very strong. He played the role of Uncle Gui in "Hutong", but he didn't have many scenes, but it was impressive.
The "timidity" of the little man and the quickness of his work were all well controlled by him.
has few scenes, but it still makes people remember that this actor's skills can be seen.
In addition to Uncle Gui, there are also Suo Qian and Dun Xiaoting in the alley.
Suo Qian's ancestors were nobles and authentic "banners".
because of this background, I have been living in half my life.
As a result, the times have changed, and he has become an "outlaw".
has no aristocratic status, no family property, and no life skills. I can only live by eating and drinking freely.
The woman I like is in a brothel and even when I meet, I have to say good things to the madam.
The patched silk hanging is like Suo Qian's life. He is rich and expensive, but now this patch makes his origin a joke.
And Tong Xiaoting is a actor. There are many shadows of Cheng Dieyi in the character
.
has been very popular, rich and decent. But as the times change, he, the once sensational "corner", has also become the abandoned child of the times. Both characters
have the imprint of the old society. One is a down-and-out bannerman who is addicted to the glory of the past, and the other is a down-and-out actor who wants to recreate the glory of the Peking Opera .
Two people who were fucking authentic Beijing movies, faced with the new society, they both had "unfamiliar to the local environment".
They all have a kind of small person who is powerless to face the wheel of history.
characters seem to be happy, but when they cut open the shell, they are covered with blood and tears.
These two characters seem to be insignificant, but in fact they are the highlights in the first chapter.
How to interpret the character's temperament is the most difficult. But watching the "Beijing films" of the two actors and the charm of their every move is really impeccable.
, especially the role of Suo Qian, the actor kept his "missing" and helplessness in the character, and was helpless.
After watching these three "lowest-class" characters, let's look at the heroine played by Zhao Lusi. Can you see the gap better?
