's new drama "If Running Is My Life" was launched. I thought it would be a family drama like Tao Teng's, but it turned out that there was a car accident at the beginning, and the two families fell into abyss.
Veteran actor Chen Xiaoyi finally acted in the same scene as his son Liu Hengfu. This time he played the role of a tragic mother and son.
Liu Hengfu has started to make a name for himself in TV dramas in the past two years. In last year's hit "The Ordinary Road", he played Baylor, an emotional manipulator with an extreme personality. He interpreted the dark side of human nature so well that the audience was even a little creepy when they saw this character. The cold, paranoid look in his eyes exuded a chill.
After that, he played the warm-hearted Gao Chang in "All the Way to the Sun". Although this role was a bit watery and dispensable, it still allowed the audience to see his plasticity.
This time, he is cooperating with his mother Chen Xiaoyi in a new drama. Liu Hengfu does not have many roles, only the opening few episodes.
This is a suffocating family. The single mother played by Chen Xiaoyi worked hard to raise a son and a daughter.
My mother used to be a teacher, but her educational philosophy was a bit outdated. First of all, she favored sons over daughters. She had high expectations for her sons and was very pampered towards her daughters.
The mother's face at the dinner table was differentiated and layered. This was a critical blow to her daughter. The daughter could only work hard to defend herself and try to rebelliously fight back against her mother's favoritism.
's son has a submissive personality, but he can no longer handle it when he reaches adolescence. He must do well in every exam, and his test scores are directly linked to his mother's smiling face, and are closely related to his living conditions.
As time went by, the son suffered from serious mental illness and had to secretly take medicine to maintain his current status, but no one around him dared to tell his mother.
My son really wants to have a free-range environment like his sister. Without the suffocating expectations of his mother, he might be able to grow up freely and happily.
Chen Xiaoyi is indeed a veteran in acting. When I was a child, I watched her in "Foreign Girl", and her tenacity and simplicity were revealed naturally.
The mother this time is not easy to play. Her maternal love is suffocating and there are serious problems. However, the development of this character seems to be a kind of helplessness.
The hard work of single mothers is heavy and silent. If she wants to support a family by herself, she must be brave and strong in order to replace all effective resources for family expenses.
Externally, we must have considerable courage to coordinate and manage all minor and minor matters, and internally we must maintain the same consistency.
There is a kind of calmness and self-restraint on her face, which is the shackles of traditional parents. Children are afraid when they see it. This fear turns into resignation and tolerance. Over time, it is easy to have psychological trauma.
Chen Xiaoyi performed that kind of silent sadness this time. I thought there would be hysterical emotional tension, but it didn't.
The plot did not give her such a direct impact.
His son died in a traffic accident, and he had had many suicidal thoughts before.
Even after her son died, the mother was still thinking about whether her son's test scores were stable. She looked relieved when she was told a white lie.
Suffocating maternal love is an obsession that is deeply rooted and cannot be reversed at once.
Chen Xiaoyi played the powerlessness of the pain of losing a child very impactfully. The performance was silent, but the emotions were full. There was no need to use too many external emotions and actions to explain, and the whole person felt like he was in the air. Just standing there is enough.
Jiang is still old and spicy, and Chen Xiaoyi's performance is very stable. She knows how to sort out new character ideas, and she must be different from the common facial expressions on the market.
The sense of hollowness and powerlessness caused by the departure of a loved one does indeed exist objectively. Not everyone will burst into tears and cry bitterly.
The silent sadness is the cruelest thing.
Of course, such character performances also pave the way for whether the mother can unravel her own knot in the future. The suffocating maternal love needs to be reviewed. She also has a daughter, whom she was ashamed of in the past.
Liu Hengfu also performed well this time. He is probably very suitable for playing such an emotionally struggling role, so as a newcomer, he must first establish his identity.
's son is tolerant on the outside but struggling on the inside. His dual personality is difficult to handle. He looks weak on the outside but rebellious on the inside. His overall mood is not very outgoing.
This restrained performance is consistent with the mother's emotional strength.
can also reflect the suffocation of the family and the lack of laughter and laughter. Parents are authoritative and can be arrogant. They should regard authority as a halo and monopolize it endlessly. Children will be hurt, and parents feel that "everything is for you." good".
The tragedy of the original family has now become a standard feature of domestic dramas. How to create new ideas or how to make the characters exude a different realistic temperament is the key to breaking through.
This "If Running Is My Life" still did it.
