| It is not easy for Sanyuan
to "survive" during this year's Spring Festival!
In addition to the top four box office " hot ", "Flying Life 2", "Bear Infested: Reverse Time and Space" and " Article 20 ", the bottom four movies have been successively Announcement of withdrawal.
Among them, the one with the lowest box office is "Article 20". After 10 days of release, it only took in 1.5 billion, which is already more than a billion short of "Flying Life 2" and "Hot and Spicy".
But this is just the beginning of the Spring Festival. Who will win the final box office championship is still unknown at present.
As word of mouth continues to grow, although "Article 20" only accounts for 25% of the film schedule, which is not as good as "Flying Life 2" and "Hot and Spicy", it has the highest box office share and has already won the Japanese Film Festival. Box office champion.
If this trend continues, "Article 20" is likely to make a comeback and become the biggest dark horse in this year's Spring Festival.
Zhang Yimou, who serves as the director, certainly deserves a lot of credit, but what is equally worthy of praise is the all-star cast he chose for this movie, all of which are outstanding.
01
The acting skills of all the members are online, and the supporting roles are more impressive than the protagonists.
There are many actors in "Article 20", but these six are the most impressive.
ranks first, Lei Jiayin
wimp is Lei Jiayin's ruling area, he can not only act very appropriately but also bring his own laughter.
Even if you are sitting on an electric scooter holding your waist, rubbing your waist in pain one second, and sitting down in panic the next second, it all feels natural and funny.
He also sent a message to his first love, secretly trying to tease her, with a slight smile on his lips and an elated expression that couldn't be suppressed. He was so mean-spirited that it was easy to make the audience laugh.
The mustard-eating scene made people laugh so hard that their stomachs ached, and their faces turned red all of a sudden, but they couldn't bear to tell the truth, so they could only let their first love interpret it in various ways, and even felt embarrassed for him through the screen.
is in second place, Ma Li
Ma Li is also able to create comedy in a mediocre plot.
In the video, Ma Li acted out the scene of the quarrel with the junior leader, which made people angry, but then she slapped the table and knocked the school leader to the ground, which made people laugh and cry.
She quarrels at every turn, trains her husband to be submissive, and portrays a fierce and powerful wife to the core. Seeing Ma Li like this, I wonder how many viewers feel that they are installing surveillance on their wives?
The third place is Gao Ye
The prosecutor played by Gao Ye is a single person, and he really doesn’t understand the world at all!
When he was arguing with the leader, he twisted his neck, as if he was trying to take over who he was afraid of. When facing his incompetent fraternal unit, he would be extremely jealous when he met his enemies. The way he looked at each other from a distance was full of jealousy. anger.
But when the ending was approaching, when he was demoted and the case never came to a conclusion, the aggrieved and heartbroken crying scene was very contagious and could fully mobilize the audience's emotions.
Although the prosecutor played by Gao Ye this time is not as domineering as the sister-in-law in "Hurry Up", the degree of completion is still very high.
ranked fourth, Zhao Liying
The most subversive thing in the whole film is the deaf-mute played by Zhao Liying.
did not have a single line in the whole process, but she was able to perform the role in a shocking way. Her urgency and anxiety when fighting with the village bully for her daughter, her grief when she learned that her daughter was missing and her husband was likely to be sentenced to death, were all so real that it made people feel sad. People feel worried.
And when she was raped by the village bully, she rushed out of the room with blood on her face and tears on her face. She said in sign language that she didn't want to live anymore. You can even see through Zhao Liying's eyes that she has lost the desire to live.
This is a truly good actor. Not only can he risk his image, but he can also perform the role with quality. It is really amazing!
ranked fifth, Fan Wei
I have to say that Fan Wei’s acting skills are really sophisticated!
He only has a few scenes as the village chief, but when he seeks justice for his son, he shows a hypocritical face, but actually has a darker heart than anyone else, which makes people shudder.
Fan Wei disguised a fierce character as a good guy, but when he took off the mask and his true face was revealed, his eyes were full of anger.
ranked sixth, Zhang Yi
As Zhang Yimou's royal actor, Zhang Yi's acting skills have never failed.
In this movie, the school leader he plays is very stylish as soon as he appears. He is obviously dressed like an ordinary teacher, but there is a cold chill in his eyes.
However, the great thing about Zhang Yi is that he plays a very calm character and does not have a clear comedy color. However, when he confronts Ma Li, his incredible look makes him full of laughter, which adds a lot of points to this film. .
In addition to these six actors, there are also powerful actors such as Chen Minghao, Pan Binlong, and Jiang Qiming in the film. Without exception, the audience becomes more and more engaged as they watch.
But unfortunately, only the performance of the female lead 5 brings down the whole film. It can be called the biggest failure in "Article 20" and makes people uncomfortable to watch.
02
The female lead is immediately out of the show when she appears. Zhang Yimou’s choice of the female lead 5 was wrong.
Other actors in "Article 20" can make the audience fall into the drama in one second, but the female lead 5 is out of the drama immediately after she appears.
She did not play a large role in the film. She only appeared for a few minutes, but these few minutes completely destroyed the good foundation laid by the actors in the early stage.
Originally the bus driver acted bravely, but he was convicted of intentional injury. After he was released from prison, his whole person changed. He kept petitioning without any results. It made people feel sad to see him.
When he was in a car accident during his last appeal, he died, which brought the movie to its first climax. As long as the actors' acting skills are strong, they can fully mobilize the audience's emotions.
However, the bus driver’s daughter played by Xu Jingya played the crying scene too hard and was embarrassing.
couldn't cry at first but had to cry hard. It wasn't until his facial features were almost squeezed out of shape that he managed to burst into tears.
She always hoped that her father could continue to petition and seek justice for herself. If she had not asked her father to try again, this accident would probably not have happened. Apart from sadness, the most prominent emotion was guilt.
However, under Xu Jingya's performance, there was no sense of guilt at all, and it didn't even make people feel sad. The heartache that the audience had accumulated while watching the previous plot disappeared immediately.
In addition, she should also deduce her dissatisfaction with the prosecutor. It was the prosecutor who did not judge her father's brave behavior as self-defense, and it was the prosecutor who made her father sign an agreement not to continue petitioning.
But when she cocked her neck and squinted her eyes to look at the prosecutor, the more she looked, the more she looked like a little girl questioning her boyfriend.
Zhang Yimou, who has always had a very precise eye for casting, made a mistake this time. This kind of acting is just to ruin the movie. He has no aura or talent at all.
I wonder if you felt any drama when you saw this female No. 5 on the stage?
