The small person starring Guo Jingfei changed from a coward to a hero, "I am Yu Huan Shui"
Our reporter Li Xiazhi
Led by Guo Jingfei, Hou Hongliang's online drama "I am Yu Huan Shui" was officially launched in iQiyi this week. This drama comes from "Noon Sunshine", a well-known production company in the industry, and has the foundation of the stage play of the same name. The screenwriters "San Duo", Wang Sanmao and Wang Lei, were obviously not ordinary works.
"I am Yu Huan Shui" continues one of the characteristics of "Made at Noon", that is, the people are clear, the expression is smooth, and the strength of satire is not lost. The story of the play is based on the novel "If There Is No Tomorrow". The original book tells the story of the young man Yu Huan-shui who has run into walls everywhere in his family, workplace, and society. Instead, he was forced to express his pride when he learned that he was terminally ill. A wonderful and exciting life experience.
This is because the serious illness has pressed the accelerator key to life, and thus began to reverse the code of life. In the past, it was not uncommon in movie works, but one and a half hours of movies, or two hours of stage dramas were adapted into 12 episodes of online dramas. The logic that needs to be expanded and completed is very important. Compared with the original version, the drama version first of all made Yu Huanshui's "social animal" attribute to the extreme. In the first few episodes, Yu Huanshui was at the bottom of his work performance, and he was helpless at home. Finally, he wanted to buy a car for his wife. Negotiation from friends. This bargaining drama alone exposed Yu Huanshui's weakness to the extreme several times, which directly became the fuse for his divorce from his wife.
Compared with the original work, the characters in the play directly related to Yu Huan Shui have been portrayed as "superior." Although this extreme character creation is a bit too dramatic, it still has a certain rationality for Yu Huanshui's character reversal logic. Judging from the logic of Yu Huanshui's "social animal" behavior, it is only a sudden illness that may make it difficult to sting his long-numbed nerves, when the divorce caused by emotional breakdown, the loss of friends and the broken social chain, and the native family Despair, which is difficult to support, is a combination of these factors that has quickly pushed the character's transformation.
It is worth mentioning that the actor Guo Jingfei had a wonderful performance in the TV series "It's All Right". This time for the modeling of small people, he once again grabbed the soul of the characters and used his excellent expressive ability to make Yu Huanshui's Character logic becomes more reliable.
As an online short drama, "I am Yu Huan Shui" adopts a cast and production level that is no less than the TV standard, but the total length of 12 episodes determines that the storytelling rhythm is faster than in the past. Whether Zhong can stick to the sound character logic and make all changes less jokes is the key to the success of this work. In addition, as a work with innate sarcasm and comedy style, this type of story adaptation is often prone to exaggerated facts, dramatic expressions and simple jokes that appear to be superficial. From the 6 episodes that have been aired, Guo Jingfei 'S performance stood still, and the plot reversed again, depending on how the last six episodes justify themselves.
