Recently, many viewers have discovered one thing. We have all been "lied" by the movie " Article 20 " directed by Zhang Yimou. This is obviously a comedy-oriented reality movie, but many people think it is a reality movie. Pure tragedy.
Why it is said to be a comedy? You can tell by looking at the cast.
After last year’s Spring Festival movie "Manjianghong" won a box office of 4.544 billion, Zhang Yimou seems to have opened up the two channels of Ren and Du. Maybe it is more fun to work with comedians.
Take a closer look at the cast of "Man Jiang Hong". Shen Teng, Yue Yunpeng, Pan Binlong, Lei Jiayin and Guo Jingfei, etc., whether in works or variety shows, they are all serious and funny comedians.
As a result, a movie full of seriousness, joy in suffering, has a different flavor.
This year, director Zhang Yimou still followed the previous model, pairing actors with some comedians and then completed the work.
In "Article 20", the protagonists this time become Lei Jiayin and Ma Li. When I talk about these two people, I feel full of laughter.
Not to mention Pan Binlong, Fan Wei, Qiao Shan, Xu Wenhe, as well as Jiang Shimeng and Song Muzi who came out of the comedy competition.
matches its comedy style at first glance. With Zhang Yi, a talented actor who is funny but unaware of himself, and paired with many veteran actors, this lineup is very impressive at first glance.
Ma Li and Lei Jiayin provide most of the laughs in this movie. Director Zhang Yimou opens blind boxes every day when he goes to the scene.
Many of the highlights of the movie lie in the family of Ma Li, Lei Jiayin and Liu Yaowen, and the improvisation of Lei Jiayin and Ma Li There were a lot of performances, and because of this, the two of them contributed a lot of hilarious scenes.
Ma Li and Lei Jiayin are both from the Northeast. Northeastern people are naturally gifted in languages and have their own sense of humor. Because of this, the two of them had a very good rapport in their first collaboration.
Northeastern people are full of sparks in the collision of lines, so director Zhang Yimou mostly let the two improvise, and because of the naturalness, the things that come out are more real.
The most exciting thing for the director is to open the blind box of the actors' lines and let them improvise. Not only Ma Lilei's good news, but also Zhang Yi's guest appearance and Chen Minghao's came, the director also used the same method.
The other actors were a little confused when they first arrived. Unexpectedly, the director asked them to collide on the spot. Zhang Yi's famous scene should be the one with Ma Li at the dinner table. He directly threw cups and mobile phones. The atmosphere was very serious.
Through this movie, Ma Li also said that she saw a side of herself that she didn't know before, and she didn't expect that her comedy talent would be so thoroughly explored.
Sister-in-law "Gao Ye" plays Lei Jiayin's ex-girlfriend in the drama. When she plays opposite Ma Li and Lei Jiayin, she is often made laugh by them, but she often suppresses her laughter because she can't laugh on set while filming.
For this role, Zhao Liying broke through her own ceiling
There are laughs and tears. Although this movie is a comedy movie, its plot is more close to the common people, and it also extracts a few things that are closely related to the common people. events to interpret.
The core of comedy is tragedy. Li Maojuan's family laughs with tears, but a large part of the tragedy in the movie comes from the couple played by Zhao Liying and Pan Binlong who live on the margins of society.
Zhao Liying plays the role of the hearing-impaired mother Hao Xiuping. In order to better complete this role, Zhao Liying used some careful tricks to deliberately not let herself hear.
Zhao Liying herself is a person who talks relatively little, and she even wore earplugs on the set just to make herself more silent.
Later, when other people on the set talked to her, they were willing to communicate in sign language. Zhao Liying knew that she had half succeeded, because she successfully brought others into her world.
director Zhang Yimou also praised Zhao Liying's performance: "She didn't speak during the scene and was always looking for the character. In this performance, she broke through her ceiling and is no longer the Zhao Liying of the past."
As Zhao Liying's husband Pan Binlong, when he saw the trailer, he realized that this movie was so fun, but when he thought about his own scenes, they were all crying scenes.
Pan Binlong burst into tears as soon as he appeared. Then he was arrested for manslaughter, and there was a crying scene in the interrogation room. Later, when he met Zhao Liying, both of them cried again.
I feel that the tragedy is concentrated on Hao Xiuping's family. Other stories at least There are also some comedy parts, and this family is a pure tragedy.
Nowadays, more people go to the cinema to watch this movie, laughing with tears. Some lament the experience of Hao Xiuping’s family. What is even more sad is that , these are all adapted from real stories. In real life, this case will only be more cruel.
As director Zhang Yimou said: The story of this movie contains many problems faced by thousands of families, and it can be filmed It is very rare to find a story that resonates with all ordinary people.
also tells us that Article 20 of the law is about legitimate defense. As an ordinary person, when faced with something that may cause harm to oneself What kind of legitimate defense should be used~
