"County Party Committee Courtyard" Hu Ge became a veteran cadre and learned well from Jin Dong, with at least three major benefits
The new drama "County Party Committee Courtyard" starring Hu Ge held a launch ceremony on the front foot, and Reuters on the back foot has spread everywhere.
This drama can be so valued by everyone because it is Hu Ge’s golden team match of Kong Sheng and noon sunshine after "Langya Bang". The drama tells the story of Mei Xiaoge and his two colleagues in the old and new county party committee courtyards who, under the general trend and great change of the new era, took advantage of the trend and moved forward all the way, worked hard, and realized their ideals vertically and horizontally.
The male protagonist played by Hu Ge is a county magistrate. This profession is placed under the theme of this kind of TV drama, and it is naturally set by a veteran cadre.
A brave, capable, forging ahead for the well-being of the people, serious, meticulous at the same time, but also lovely grass-roots staff jump in front of the eyes.
However, everyone used their brains to recall whether this type of character was Hu Ge’s old partner, his good brother Jin Dong, who often brought such performances to everyone.
It seems that when his name is mentioned, such a scene has already appeared in his mind. Jin Dong is wearing a leadership jacket/long trench coat/suit and shouting at the crowd with a big horn. People’s hearts feel settled, and the cadre should be like him.
Jin Dong is very good at shaping such a role, and even said that because Jin Dong has created too many such similar roles, he has been complained by everyone.
But at the same time, we can’t deny that Jin Dong has just relied on such a role to become the ace guarantee of audience ratings in the past two years. Looking at Dragon TV and Beijing Satellite TV, the annual champion of TV drama audience ratings over the years has basically been rounded by Jin Dong.
So, why did Hu Ge follow Jin Dong and try this way?
The first reason for this was that Hu Ge guaranteed long-term low-frequency output, but failed to maintain quality.
In the eyes of anyone, everyone always feels that keeping the quantity small means that the quality can be better. Hu Ge has always been a person who values quality rather than quantity.
However, looking back at his works in recent years, the quantity is indeed small, but the quality is not among the best.
The last TV drama starring Hu Ge, "Hunting Ground", was a collaboration between the team that created the national hit drama "Lurking". The audience thought we would see a wonderful workplace situation, and in the end, a star on the full screen of Douban gave everyone the answer. It’s a pity for those good actors.
In the movie, he sprinted with all his might and came up with his first film as a male lead, "The Wild Goose Lake." How to say? This movie made all the mistakes of a literary film.
In addition, Hu Ge made cameo appearances in some films, and whether his performance was good or bad could not be counted as his head. In short, after "Langya Ranking", he did not bring any particularly good works to the audience.
The second reason is that the recognition of awards favors down-to-earth roles.
Hu Ge, who was born in 1982, is synonymous with the powerful faction among his peers in the eyes of all audiences.
But in reality, the highest award in Hu Ge’s hands is only one Magnolia. And that award was won by the "Langya Ranking" that Hu Ge couldn’t avoid.
In the years to come, he had failed all the other major awards, even without a single nomination.
Longitudinal comparison of several male actors who can be called old actors by the people, when they are like Hu Ge’s age, they have basically achieved a grand slam. If they really want to become a good national actor, Hu Ge’s current achievement is far from up to standard.
The third reason may be that Hu Ge considered his female audience and fans.
If a woman had fallen in love with Hu Ge since "Legend of Immortal Sword and Fairy One", that is, when Hu Ge debuted, more than ten years had passed, and it was estimated that she had already become a mother and wife, let alone an audience who had fallen in love with Hu Ge halfway.
Therefore, the audience who liked Hu Ge almost had a certain amount of experience. And the female group has always been the large market of TV drama audiences. From the perspective of caring for fans, these people have liked and supported Hu Ge for so many years, and Hu Ge should bring a down-to-earth TV drama character to show everyone.
Grounded is not a derogatory term, an actor should be like water, put into any container, and it can perfectly adapt to that shape. Looking at Hu Ge, who has been without mud for a long time, does need to make some changes.
