"Mountains and Seas": Why is Huang Xuan the protagonist? Instead of the director's favorite Wang Kai who plays Song Yunhui?

"Love between Mountains and Seas": Why is Huang Xuan the protagonist? Instead of the director's favorite Wang Kai who plays Song Yunhui?

This drama, like "Dajiang Dahe 2", is a quality drama of the noon sunshine era.

However, the creator of "Mountains and Seas" is even more powerful!

Starring Huang Xuan, 17 stars including Zhang Jiayi, You Yong, Yan Ni, Huang Jue, Yao Chen, Zu Feng, Reyza, etc. also participated, and there were as many as 7 screenwriters, with Gao Mantang as the script planner!

The audience discovered that the play was directed by Kong Sheng and starred by Huang Xuan, but Wang Kai and Zhang Jiayi were both special performers.

Special performances, like friendly performances, are actually supporting roles in the play.

Many viewers are wondering: The TV series directed by Kong Sheng basically stars Wang Kai as the protagonist. Why has it changed this time?

Wang Kai became a supporting role?

Wang Kai has also said in many interviews: The noble people in his life are Director Kong Sheng and Mr. Hou Hongliang, the director of Noon Sunshine.

Look at the plays directed by Kong Sheng: 2014 "Langya Bang", 2015 "The Pretender", "Ode to Joy", 2018 "Dajiang Dahe", in these plays, Wang Kai plays more and more roles Coming heavier.

Especially in the two films "Dajiang Dahe", Song Yunhui, played by Wang Kai, has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people for his enterprising and upright image.

"Dajiang Dahe 2" was filmed in 2019. Due to the impact of the epidemic, filming continued until April 2020.

"Mountains and Seas" was filmed in July 2020. After 90 days, it was completed at the end of October. There is no problem with Wang Kai's schedule.

It stands to reason that taking over "Love Between Mountains and Seas" smoothly, starring Ma Defu, is also very good. After all, Director Kong Sheng has worked with him for a long time and is more familiar with him.

Huang Xuan is 3 years younger than Wang Kai. The two basically participated in film and television works around 2007.

Before "Mountains and Seas", Huang Xuan and director Kong Sheng had never collaborated.

In fact, the author has absolutely no judgment on the superiority or inferiority of the two actors.

As actors born in the 1980s, they are the mainstay of my country's film and television industry today.

And we know that in a drama, the protagonist and the supporting role are only different in their roles, but they are indispensable for the perfect presentation of the script.

In fact, when choosing the protagonist of a film or television drama, all aspects must be considered comprehensively. Actor schedule is only one factor, while investors, producers, and directors are all important factors.

However, it is more important whether the actor's personal temperament matches the needs of the script role.

As a new generation of poverty alleviation cadres, the protagonist Ma Defu in the play needs to be a bit green, weak and immature, and Huang Xuan may be more suitable for this.

Wang Kai is tall and has a calm charm and a strong aura, which may not be fully reflected in terms of weakness and immaturity.

Just like Zhang Ziyi's acting skills in "Shangyang Fu" are very good, but she was criticized for playing a 15-year-old girl.

Another point is that Huang Xuan is from Lanzhou, and the play requires actors to speak the dialect of the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia generation. Wang Kai is from Wuhan. Of course, I have no doubt about Wang Kai’s ability to learn dialects, but he can speak the dialect using existing dialects. The actors are more appropriate.

This is one reason why actors Zhang Jiayi, You Yong, and Yan Nixi'an participated in the play.

What's more, Wang Kai still has "Dajiang Dahe 3" and many other dramas waiting for him to star in. Everyone is clamoring for the third one to be released soon, and they want to see Song Yunhui.

Wang Kai and Huang Xuan are both good actors, especially Song Yunhui. People are reluctant to leave, and hope to see more performances from Wang Kai.

But Huang Xuan's acting skills are also excellent, and the two actors have their own characteristics.

Do you like these two actors born in the 1980s? Comments are welcome.
