Zhang Songwen plays the villain again. Will "Ice Hunting" be the next "Hurricane"?
The anti-drug drama "Ice Hunt" starring Zhang Songwen and Yao Anna was broadcast on Tencent on the evening of the 21st. Zhang Songwen played the big drug lord Huang Zongwei, and Yao Anna, the second princess of Huawei, played the young and astute anti-drug police. "Ice Hunt" suddenly stopped without announcement in the early stage, but the two stars increased their popularity.
At present, "Ice Hunt" has high popularity but negative reviews, mainly targeting Yao Anna and the bugs in the plot.
The second princess was complained
"Yao Anna’s acting skills" rushed into the hot search. Some viewers said that her acting skills were embarrassing, and some viewers said that Yao Anna’s acting skills were OK. More people paid attention to "whether Huawei has invested money" and whether Yao Anna has brought capital into the group. Director Gao Qunshu sent a Weibo reply "How could Huawei invest money? Ren Zhengfei wouldn’t do that either". As for choosing Yao Anna to play the policewoman, it is because "she is just a simple girl without acting training, and her image and temperament are very suitable for playing a police officer". The director saw Yao Anna’s photos and thought she was very simple. He also heard that she is Ren Zhengfei’s daughter. She graduated from Haval and can sing. Without acting training, this made her more interested.
She played the leading actress, and everyone always connected her with capital, and many audiences did not watch "Ice Hunt" because of her acting. But judging from Yao Anna’s performance in the past two years, her performance in "A Windy Place" was natural, and her starring short film "A Cliff Raises by the Sea" won the Palme d’Or short film at the 75th Cannes International Film Festival, and the role was also very suitable for her. Her performance in Ice Hunt could not be said to be good, but she barely passed.
Her face shape is very suitable for neutral short hair, and her image is also very suitable for capable and heroic female characters. Just like the director said that she is simple, her appearance does not look like a star at first glance, she does not have a beautiful face or a sexy body, but she has a unique temperament. This is in line with the role of the veteran turned police officer in the play. According to the director, the scenes in the play are all run by Yao Anna, because the male double can’t run her. Although the black silk spirit girl in the first episode has a bit of hot eyes, it completely shows that Yao Anna has no idol burden, which is much better than some vase female stars who only have good looks and no acting skills and do not work hard.
Of course, Yao Anna’s acting skills were far from enough, and the stunned girl’s performance came, but some of her micro-expressions and movements were flawed. As a police officer, she entered the house with a gun and went straight in without hiding, and suddenly raised her head and pointed the gun at the left, right, and above in turn. If she encountered a drug dealer with a gun, she would have been offline long ago. This action is too unsuitable for the profession of a police officer, like playing a game. And in the play, her expression is all serious and bitter, too dull.
Yao Anna should be criticized, but she has been acting seriously for three years since her debut, and she has not over-marketed herself, because her goal is not money, but really wants to learn to act. Audiences don’t have to resist her, Yao Anna is just born into an entrepreneur’s family, she has not done anything bad, everyone has the right to pursue their dreams and try to cross borders, and can criticize but not be biased.
Zhang Songwen plays the villain again
Starring Zhang Songwen and Yao Anna, it has already attracted many audiences. Whether it is praising Zhang Songwen’s acting skills or scolding Yao Anna’s acting skills, it will increase the popularity to a certain extent. Zhang Songwen’s re-enactment of the villain also makes the audience look forward to this story, which still has a prototype.
The character of Zhang Songwen is somewhat similar to Gao Qiqiang in "Hurricane". They are both elegant in appearance and friendly to others, but they do some illegal and criminal activities behind the scenes. He is a good husband at home, but ruthless outside. Gao Qiqiang turned from a fish-killing vendor to a gangster boss, and Huang Zongwei graduated from junior high school to study chemistry by himself. With his outstanding chemical talent and efforts to produce and sell drugs, he became a big drug lord. He only sells drugs to foreigners, and he does not touch them himself. Killing people called "Uncle Zhong" and said "he will go on the road tomorrow, give him a red envelope", which is similar to Gao Qiqiang telling Lao Mo "I want to eat fish".
Zhang Songwen is very good at acting in complex emotional dramas. When the big drug lord in the play is about to leave his family and go to other places, he walks to the door and hears the child calling him dad. He stops, his face is sad, his eyes are full of tears, and the helpless waving of his hands really makes the audience feel very immersive. It is said that this script was chosen by Zhang Songwen himself, and he likes this role. When "Ice Hunting" started filming, "Hurricane" had not yet aired. With "Hurricane" leading the way, "Ice Hunting" is popular, and the contrast will be more obvious.
"Ice Hunt" & "Hurricane"
In terms of configuration, "Ice Hunting" is a small-budget drama, and asking Zhang Songwen to lead the way is already the highest configuration. The acting skills of the starring Yao Anna, especially Han Geng, Bao Bell and others are not very good, and the main supporting roles are not good enough. In the opposite play of Zhang Songwen and Han Geng, the two roared and said their lines, giving people a feeling of excessive force. The traces of the acting are obvious, not natural enough, and Han Geng can’t take the play.
The fire of "Hurricane" is that good actors meet good scripts. The main characters in the play are very three-dimensional and plump, and the main actors’ acting skills are also online. Each character has a background foreshadowing, the details can withstand scrutiny, and the plot is compact and not draggy. "Ice Hunt" is mainly about drug hunting. The local young police and the scheming big drug lord fight wits and courage, and the good and evil sides compete. The background foreshadowing is less, and two or three lines reveal the background of the characters. The plot is promoted as the police chase the big drug lord. The cast is not strong enough, and the actors are also controversial. One episode is only 35 minutes long, with a total of 18 episodes. The plot progress of one episode is slow, which makes people feel too draggy and there is no tense atmosphere. In any way, "Ice Hunt" is far inferior to "Hurricane".
Moreover, in order to highlight the excellence of the young policemen and forcibly reduce the intelligence of the other policemen, the female protagonist predicts that the big drug lord will go to Guangning and apply to go. The other policemen listen to the leader, but the leader refuses on the grounds that he is a small policeman, and the superiors will not be able to care so much. Moreover, the plot is always driven by the female protagonist, and other people have little contribution, giving people a feeling that other old policemen are all working, and the female protagonist is the most intelligent and witty, and the characters are not full enough.
Yao Anna still needed more practice in her acting skills, and Zhang Songwen could have more breakthroughs in choosing her role. The flaws of Ice Hunt were obvious, and it was impossible to become the next "Hurricane", but it was just a matter of waiting and seeing if the score could go lower and higher.
