Nowadays, what subject matter is the most difficult to shoot "new tricks"?
Then the answer must be urban drama.
After all, the current domestic urban dramas are either about the male and female protagonists falling in love, or about the "short parents", and the audience has long been surprised.
So how should domestic urban dramas break the game?
Small storybelieves that at the moment we can only rely on urban light comedy, on the one hand, this theme has a wide audience and is very suitable for "family fun";
On the other hand, the audience is very tolerant of light comedy, even if the film is a little bit bloody, the audience will not be too serious.
Not to mention Cao Cao's arrival, now CCTV has found another way, joining hands with many old drama bones to stage an urban light comedy drama for the audience - "The Second Half of My Life".
The play not only innovatively chooses the theme of "Twilight Love for the Elderly", but also adds a large number of light comedy elements to the play, making the audience laugh non-stop.
Coupled with the amazing performance of a group of old drama bones, the show only aired 6 episodes, and it was rated by Changhong, not only beating the dark horse suspense drama "Chessman" in the same schedule, but also winning the first place in the national ratings in one fell swoop.
First, the plot is tempting and there are a lot of laughs
"The Second Half of My Life" mainly tells the story of retired literature professor Shen Zhuoran (played by Zhang Guoli), who was almost depressed after the death of his wife, and in order to get him out of the haze, his family and friends found a "post-wife" for him.
Different from the previous "twilight love" blind date dramas, the show abandoned the old routine of creating anxiety, and instead showed the emotional needs of the widowed elderly in front of the public in an "absurd" way.
For example, at the funeral of Shen Zhuoran's wife, fox friends said that they would carry on the past and forge ahead into the future, and repeatedly encouraged him to look for the "second spring".
And the daughter-in-law and mother-in-law also went to the blind date corner to get better quickly, and the farce continued.
As a result, Shen Zhuoran fell in love with the head nurse Lian Yilian (played by Yang Tongshu) at first sight when he lived in a hospital, and he even wanted to stay in the hospital for a few more days so that the two could get along.
Later, he wrote a Tibetan poem to boldly show his love, and developed rapidly, and after only a month of getting along, they lived together, and the speed was so fast that it was jaw-dropping.
Anyway, six episodes down,Small storyThe corners of the mouth have never come down, it's too top.
Second, the acting skills of the old drama bones are amazing
In addition to the witty and humorous plot, "The Second Half of My Life" is full of old drama bones and excellent acting skills.
First place: Zhang Guoli
As the soul of the whole play, Zhang Guoli vividly portrayed Shen Zhuoran's "sense of contrast".
In the early stage, he was a "depressive character" who saw things and thought about people, but after seeing the head nurse Lian Yipiao, he wrote love letters and dyed his hair, full of yearning for the future life, and had a strong sense of contrast.
Second place: Tong Dawei
And Shen Qing, played by Tong Dawei, handles the ambivalence of being a son just right.
He not only has to understand the difficulty of his father starting a new life, but also can't hide his longing and unwillingness to his deceased mother.
He longed for his father to spend every day happily, but his mother had just passed away a year, and his "stepmother", who was not a few years older than him, lived in his own house and changed his mother's old bed sheets, and he was still very resistant in his heart.
A long shot of seeing things and thinking about people is really poignant.
Third place: Mei Ting
"After viewing" Mei Ting this time, she subverted the previous "elegant and intellectual" screen image and incarnated Liu Lina, a housewife full of fireworks.
Although his image has been greatly changed, his acting skills are very strong.
Especially the scene where she bumped into her father-in-law and Lian Yilian's intimate behavior, her helplessness and the contrast of pretending to be calm made people feel both embarrassing and funny.
In addition, the role of the head nurse played by Yang Tongshu is also very popular, and Sun Baoqin, played by the old drama bone Xu Di, can be called the "laughing point maker" of the whole play.
conclusion
In general, the drama "The Second Half of My Life" is an innovation that does not follow the usual path, the drama is not only attractive in terms of plot, but also has a lot of laughs, and even the actors are also a race with explosive acting skills, interested friends should not miss it.
