white night theater is really interesting.

every time there is a good drama, it is quietly released online with almost no publicity before it starts airing.

before"pale fire” is like this, the recent hit drama "waterside past》the same is true.

if it weren’t for a hot search, the audience would have been kept in the dark.

many netizens sighed after watching it."it's really well shot. after reviewing it, i think it's the best domestic drama so far this year."

its goodness lies in making the audience feelthe desire to survive that emerges in desperation and the corrupt human nature in a declining world.

but for me, this drama has many highlights, and the actors with great acting skills are what attract me the most.

for example:francis ngplayed byuncle guess。

he is gentle yet ruthless. in order to appease ang tun, he stabbed shen xing decisively. his words and actions show the demeanor of a hero.

for example:xin haojiangplayed bymao pan。

a reckless and rude villain, who kidnapped rambo and others while hauling timber, was trapped in a logging camp, and then took revenge on shen xing in a ktv.

xin haojiang portrayed the arrogance of the second generation of sanbianpo and their disregard for human life.

however, among all the actors, uncle fan still likesjiang qimingplayed bywang anquan, and his sentence:i am not a dog, i am a dog, i was completely “poisoned” by him. i would repeat this sentence from time to time and think of his pitiful look of “innocent goodness”.

without exaggeration or understatement, i can only say that jiang qiming is really good at acting and is born to be an actor. his every line and every expression is worth the audience's repeated consideration.

in the play, he calls himself "a dog" and does a variety of jobs, including selling information, receiving and reselling goods, being a code stacker, etc.

he and the male protagonistshen xingthe first time we met was in a teahouse.

this is how he introduced himself:"my name is wang anquan, it's safest to find me"。

with a guangxi accent, a simple expression, and nimble movements, a low-level person mixed in the local area stands out.

however, the "smallness" of a small person is not enough just in appearance, there must also be a "brand" in the bones.

for example:poverty。

while he was waiting for shen xing, he made a move to pick up a cigarette. squatting beside a pillar, he saw an unsmoked cigarette butt.

he first picked it up quickly, then straightened it himself, and then held it in his mouth.

to us, cigarettes are something very common.

but wang anquan is different. he is the lowest person in sanbianpo and survives by doing various jobs. cigarettes are more like a luxury to him.

so, he also has "ambition”。

after knowing that shen xing had hidden the pigeon blood red, he felt that the opportunity to change his destiny had come.

in the play, there are two shots that show wang anquan's hard work.

one is that after seeing shen xing leave, he ignored dyeing his hair, rode his motorcycle, and rushed towards the treasure place. his expression was even a little "ferocious", but one could see his desire.

the other is to dig a hole with bare hands at the treasure hiding place.

it looked like his nails were painful, but wang anquan didn't care at all.

to put it bluntly, people like wang anquan from the bottom of sanbianpo have few opportunities to change their fate, and he is not a "bad guy" in the pure sense. he is just trying to escape from here.

but he still has goodness and humanity that has not been extinguished，there are three scenes in "past events by the border water" that uncle fan thinks jiang qiming handled very well and portrayed wang anquan's characteristics very delicately.

firstafter shen xing successfully took away the pigeon blood red, wang anquan was beaten up. on the way home, he met a crazy and disheveled gambling stone customer.boss sun。

he first scratched his hair hard, showing his inner anxiety, then knocked the fruit out of the other person's hand, and then put his clothes on the other person, giving him the last bit of decency.

the gambler does not deserve sympathy, but as a normal person, he gave the other party the last bit of respect and warmth.

second, is withpresident baia scene of gambling in a casino.

there is a very obscure shot where president bai first touches wang anquan's hand while gambling, and then wang anquan turns his chair and quietly wipes his eyes.

when he turned his head again, his eyes were slightly red and his smiling face waswith a little bit of intolerance。

in this scene, wang anquan encountered "humiliation". his tears were more like the grievance of his dignity being trampled on, and he was unwilling to accept his fate. however, he had no choice. the action of wiping his tears was more like an encouragement for himself to accept the "humiliating" situation.finally had to continue to play his role.

third, it was in the hotel that he sawxiao guobeing bullied, he subconsciously stood up and wanted to stop it, but was stopped by sister rong.

the look in his eyes when he sat down was filled with reluctance and powerlessness.

afterwards, he saw xiao guo being taken to the room and bullied, and his first reaction was to ask sister rong beside him if she could help xiao guo.

he knew his own identity and couldn't save the other person.

although he knew that such a request might displease the financial sponsor, he still looked expectant, hoping to help xiao guo.

but the next second, when he saw sister rong's smile, he despaired, his eyes instantly turned red, and his expression was a little cold, yet helpless.

because he knew that this humiliation, which could result in loss of life, was more like a game in sister rong's eyes.

these three scenes are more like jiang qiming's interpretation of the role of wang anquan. the emotions are fuller and fuller each time, which also makes wang anquan's image more full.

in addition, the scene where wang anquan and xiao guo have a discussion about "dignity" is also very touching.

first, xiao guo asked him seriously, "aren't you being disloyal?"

what he meant was that he saw wang anquan lost his dignity in order to make money and was bullied by president bai.

but wang anquan was not angry at his words, but said, "how did i go against my will? i want to eat!"

but xiao guo didn't seem to give up asking, "i want to know, as a man, how can you endure it!"

after hearing this, wang anquan paused for a moment, then took the bottle of wine, took a sip, and while looking directly at xiao guo, he repeated the words, "i want to eat."

his eyes were slightly red, his expression was calm and suppressed. jiang qiming really acted the eye acting.

what’s even more amazing is that under xiao guo’s repeated questioning, wang anquan finally let out his emotions, and turned his humiliation, grievance, and helplessness into tears in the corners of his eyes.

after a brief eye contact with xiao guo, a smile appeared on his face again.

this progressive expression from body language to eye contact and then to lines vividly displays the little people hidden at the bottom of sanbianpo.

however, what made me most sad was the scene where he was acting opposite the male lead shen xing in the corridor, where he was hunched over and slumped in the corner.

the moment his clothes were torn off by shen xing and he saw the wounds left on his body by sister rong, it seemed as if his last fig leaf was gone.

his eyes were moist, as if he would cry any second, but he still held on with all his strength and shouted, "i have the plane tickets and passports in my hands."

this is his "dignity" and "decency". everything he did was to escape from sanbianpo. this was also his greatest effort as a small person at the bottom of sanbianpo.

but shen xing didn't understand all this.

but he still said his signature words,"i am wang anquan, it is safest to find me"。

from the beginning to the end, all he wanted was "safety".

i wonder if you have noticed that when jiang qiming was playing the role of wang anquan, he often looked directly at the camera, as if he was staring at us outside the screen.

it seemed that he was asking us in the identity of wang anquan, what choice would we make if we were him?

of course, there is another layer of metaphor here.

he is more like us in real life. although we are in different environments, we also have our own "three slopes" on which we need to struggle for survival. among the countless people, we are all "little people."

but when faced with the choice between dignity and survival, can we remain calm?

therefore, this direct shot and gaze instantly maximize the sense of immersion!

finally, let’s talk about jiang qiming.

in fact, wang anquan is not jiang qiming’s first popular role.

in "the long season", he played a deaf-mute man whose parents had both passed away, and who was also a gangster at the bottom of society.

the scene where he takes off his hearing aid during a fight makes people intuitively feel his brutality.

but this is only one side of this character. more importantly, the audience sees a sense of separation between violence and warmth in him.

for example: when you see how cautious a guy is when doing something he likes, the shyness and timidity on his face are almost visible.

after being rejected, he was stunned for a moment, and then his face revealed bitterness and helplessness.

to be honest, jiang qiming's grasp of the role is really accurate.

jiang qiming once thought about "what is the bottleneck period of an actor??” this question.

his answer was, "one is that you think you are right, and the other is that you have no 'life'."

but to him, none of this seemed to exist.

after becoming famous for "the long season", he still loves acting and continues to do what he should do.

he has a calm mentality and thinks, "just live like an ordinary person."

it is precisely because of his empathy as an ordinary person that he was able to become a hit again in "waterside". uncle fan believes that he will embark on a path of a true actor that is completely different from that of traffic stars.

he is worth our look forward to!
