There are two reasons why "Da Qin Fu" has high expectations: first, the cast of this drama is strong, and Zhang Luyi, Duan Yihong, Xin Baiqing, and Wu Junmei are all recognized acting talents in the industry , with their acting skills in this drama, there is basically no need to worry.
Secondly, "Da Qin Fu" is the final chapter of the "Da Qin Empire" series of historical dramas with the highest score in the past 10 years. The first three parts are "The Fission of the Qin Empire" with Douban 9.3, and "The Fission of the Qin Empire" with Douban 9.2. "The Rise of the Great Qin Empire" and "The Rise of the Great Qin Empire" on Douban 8.5.
Because most viewers who scored low complained about one detail in the drama that was not done well: the 40-year-old Zhang Luyi's portrayal of the 13-year-old Ying Zheng was too "fake".
Although Zhang Luyi has tried hard to show the ignorance and cowardice of the young Ying Zheng through his eyes and small movements, his already mature face really makes the audience have no sense of empathy.
According to the plot setting, Zhang Luyi will shape Ying Zheng’s growth process from a boy to a domineering king. This process is to experience growth and maturity, but the entire growth is not only a psychological change, but also accompanied by a change in appearance. Zhang Luyi can play Ying Zheng after the age of 30, but playing the role of 13-year-old Ying Zheng is indeed a bit reluctant.
However, Ying Zheng was criticized, should Zhang Luyi take the blame?
In fact, the problem does not lie with Zhang Luyi, but with the screenwriter and director.
First of all, there are two extremes among domestic screenwriters today. A small number of them specialize in writing works suitable for middle-aged actors, while most screenwriters are best at writing idol dramas about love and love. , their protagonists are basically young artists.
If screenwriters who are good at writing scripts for middle-aged people are asked to add a role that can only be played by young people into their scripts, most of them will not adapt.
At the same time, when selecting actors, the director paid more attention to whether the actor could support the adult part of the character. As for the boyhood of the character Ying Zheng, the director could have chosen a child actor to star, but For some reason, 40-year-old Zhang Luyi was finally cast to play the young Ying Zheng.
So on the issue of this controversial role, the director with the most power on the crew must take the blame. He knew clearly that Zhang Luyi's face was not suitable for playing the young Ying Zheng but still did not replace him. On the one hand, he was overconfident in Zhang Luyi. Of course, it may also be because he neglected the selection of minor roles in order to focus on the plot.
As for Zhang Luyi, why he chose the role of Ying Zheng? It was definitely not because he liked the role of the male protagonist and the salary in this drama, but because he wanted to challenge himself.
Because Zhang Luyi has never been a "settled" actor
Although Zhang Luyi has acted in many movies, most of the audience does not know that he is born in the 1980s, and he is the same as Hu Ge. They are about the same age, but this face is more weathered.
It is Zhang Luyi's low-keyness and courage to challenge himself that is why he can create so many impressive characters. The character of Young Ying Zheng has been criticized, but not many people have complained about Zhang Luyi, because this actor has a role.
Zhang Luyi is a "real" academic master in the entertainment industry. He has been proficient in all kinds of martial arts since he was a child. He can master horse riding, calligraphy, piano, saxophone, oil painting, traditional Chinese painting, basketball, and tennis. He studied at the Central Academy of Drama After graduating from the directing department, he took the master's degree from Peking University.
However, such brilliant achievements are not well known to the audience. Compared with the fake "Dr. Zhai", Zhang Luyi's fame and popularity are just like that of a small actor.
However, he is not a small actor. He starred in "Red" with a score of 9.2 and was shortlisted for the Feitian Award. To film this film, Zhang Luyi lived in a small alley in Shanghai for a month.
When playing the role of weird math teacher Shi Hong in "The Devotion of Suspect As a result, after the movie was released, Zhang Luyi accidentally stole the role of the male lead Wang Kai.
In addition, Zhang Luyi has also played Wu Laogou in "Old Nine Gates", Xie Han in "Please Close Your Eyes When He Comes", Maehara Yoshihiko in "Jedi Gun King", "Yu Qing" Liu Qichang in "Sister-in-law", Bai Chuan in "The Cook, Actor and Scoundrel", and Tang Xuanzong in "The Legend of the Demon Cat".
It’s just that many people still think that Zhang Luyi is a little actor, because this person is too low-key and doesn’t like to be exposed, so he is so sincere that he wore an ordinary down jacket when attending the award ceremony, and other celebrities in formal dresses Seems out of place.
Perhaps, he really didn’t care about dressing up, and he wanted to go home and study how to play the next role.
Going back to the play "Fu of the Qin Dynasty", there is no big problem in the director choosing Zhang Luyi, because various data and evidence show that Zhang Luyi's appearance is very close to the historical Qin Shihuang. Although the audience complained that Zhang Luyi did not have the domineering imperial appearance in other movies and TV dramas, but who said that emperors in history had to be domineering?
As for, some comments said: Zhang Luyi dares to take any role for the sake of salary, how can he be embarrassed to play a teenage boy.
Personally, I think such remarks are very ridiculous. Zhang Luyi's acceptance of this drama is completely different from that of popular actresses such as Tang Yan who are obsessed with acting in idol dramas. If he really cared about traffic, he might have become popular a long time ago, just like many actors who can be trending whenever they appear in an appearance.
He said: "Being an actor is not just for the sake of being famous." But in my opinion, as an actor, the name Zhang Luyi is already very popular.
It is difficult for any TV series to be perfect. "Da Qin Fu" is already a rare historical drama in recent years. Please don't be picky and watch the drama carefully.
