After the latest two episodes of " Dajiang Dahezhi Ruge " were broadcast, Lei Dongbao's cheating became a hot search topic. Half of the netizens scolded Lei Dongbao, and the other half felt sorry for Wei Chunhong. It can make the audience have such strong emotional fluctuations, half of the credit is due to the powerful plot, and half of the credit is to the excellent performance of the actors.
Let’s talk about the plot first. Lei Dongbao cheated and Wei Chunhong directly chose to kneel on the crotch. I never expected that these two lovers would turn 180 degrees in this final chapter. In particular, Wei Chunhong, played by Lian Lian, responded domineeringly when encountering such common problems in marriage, which doubled the surprise for the audience.
Frankly speaking, from the moment Wei Chunhong discovered her hair to the moment Lei Dongbao turned around and left after drinking a glass of wine with her, I was pushed along by the plot when I watched it for the first time. I didn’t quite understand Wei Chunhong’s character motivations and choices, and the clichéd acting. It's about crying, making trouble, and hanging. Unlike novels, TV dramas have no narration. The characters' inner thoughts must be expressed by the actors through their expressions and body language. I watched it again for the second time, paying careful attention to the actors' performances, and finally understood.
What changed her attitude was the awakening of women.
Wei Chunhong has been a sensible hostess since her appearance. Running a restaurant by herself shows the independence and tenacity of a woman. She is obedient and caring to Lei Dongbao, and she treats her mother-in-law with gentleness and kindness. There is no one better than her. The daughter-in-law, but the bug of not being able to have children also gave the character the label of "imperfect". When she found out that Lei Dongbao had cheated on her, her womanly instinct made her furious. She went to the mistress to force a confession and staged a full-scale martial arts show. Jealousy and anger made her almost lose her mind, but then she The "boss lady"'s strategies and methods allow the character to reach a higher level.
Being able to fully convey these in just two or three scenes is a great test for actors. Although the first two parts of "大江大河", "Meeting Season" and other works have made me admire Lian Lian with admiration, this time the huge change from a well-behaved daughter-in-law to a domineering sister-in-law still shocked me.
She completed the contrast of the character's image before and after, and achieved the two worlds of ice and fire in the emotion and attitude in the same episode. What is valuable is that the transformation without leaving time for transition is very convincing.
Before Lei Dongbao cheated, Lian Lian had successfully created the image of Wei Chunhong as a considerate and good wife. She was gentle and considerate, and would bring water for Lei Dongbao's feet. However, Lei Dongbao cheated, and Wei Chunhong took her younger brothers to catch the cheater. The scene in "" showed me Lian Lian's character creation and explosiveness as an actor. He put on sunglasses to fill his aura, and his character's state of controlling emotions and suppressing anger was perfect.
From taking the boys to catch an adulterer to waiting for Lei Dongbao to come to the restaurant, the proper Jianghu sister-in-law not only allowed me to see another side of the character Wei Chunhong, but also allowed me to see another side of the actor. She used the contrasting spirit of the same character. Measure your own performance.
The next two dialogue scenes between Wei Chunhong and Lei Dongbao are full of performance details. It feels like Lian Lian has no longer understood the role, but has become the character. Her sorrow is greater than the death of her heart, and she speaks calmly while remaining The two strings of tears are subconscious physiological reactions that occur when you are immersed in a character. As mentioned before, in scenes without narration, you have to use a limited time to interpret the character's heart and motivations through performance. It was very difficult, but she really did it.
Of course, the resentment towards Lei Dongbao and the distress towards Wei Chunhong are also attributed to the play. The director is very good at filming, putting the beginning of the love between Song Yunhui and Liang Sishen together with the end of the love between Lei Dongbao and Wei Chunhong, the happiness of love. It forms a strong contrast with the misfortune of marriage and can better arouse the audience's emotions. However, for a rational audience like me, the most impressive thing is Wei Chunhong, who has been carefully portrayed. She has a sudden change from a good daughter-in-law to a domineering sister-in-law. She wears sunglasses, rides a motorcycle, waits for the scumbag in the restaurant to come to "talk about numbers", and plays tricks on Lei Dongbao. A slap in the face, etc., are all famous scenes of Lian Lian's contribution.
Judging from the trailer, there will be many high-energy scenes of sisters-in-law fighting mistresses in the future. We are looking forward to the sister-in-law's desperate counterattack.
