The biggest winner of this year's Spring Festival is Jia Ling 's " Hot and Spicy ".
Although the current daily box office of the movie has dropped slightly.
However, "Hot and Spicy" basically secures its position as the box office champion during the Spring Festival.
Since then, Jia Ling has become the most commercially valuable female director in the domestic film market.
However, there is no equal relationship between box office and the quality of the movie itself.
Popular movies are not necessarily high-quality movies, and "Hot" is not the only one worth watching during the Spring Festival.
According to data, the ones that currently hold the top spot at the daily box office are not "Hot" and "Flying Life 2" which dominate the box office.
is the movie " Article 20 " that came from behind.
The long tail effect it shows in terms of box office share also proves that "Article 20" can indeed beat in terms of quality.
01
In terms of social significance and film thickness, "Article 20" is a bit heavy.
But it is also worth recalling.
What he discusses is not a simple comedy, but a judicial concept. He tells a story about the pursuit of fairness and justice, focusing on some disadvantaged groups at the bottom.
In the movie, the cowardly and humble side of Lei Jiayin is full of realistic fireworks.
But his insistence on fairness and justice at the end of the movie is enough to make the audience cry.
As for Ma Li, , , Zhao Liying, , and Gao Ye, they have all created different female images.
The middle-aged woman played by Ma Li is a caring wife and mother, and she is also the epitome of a kind and righteous woman.
The disabled people portrayed by Zhao Liying have experienced low points, but are still tenacious and willing to put themselves in the game for the sake of fairness and justice.
Lu Lingling, played by Gao Ye, does not hesitate to pay for her beliefs, and as a prosecutor, she truly carries her responsibilities and obligations on her shoulders.
While most screen characters are biased against women, Zhang Yimou's films are giving women more facets and more complex images.
But in fact, there are many surprising actors in "Article 20".
Aruna, who plays the villain, is a supporting character in "Hurry Up", and Wang Peilu, who plays the villain's cousin, is also a breakout actor in "Hurry Up".
In addition to the crew of "Hurry Up", "Article 20" also hired actors such as Fan Wei, Chen Minghao, Jiang Qiming and other actors who appeared in " The Long Season ".
These actors who are known to the audience through TV series will give movie fans a sense of intimacy when they appear in movies.
02
In addition, Zhang Yimou's son also appeared in the extras in "Article 20".
There is a scene in the movie where a group of troublemaking drivers blocked the entrance of the prosecutor's office.
wants compensation no matter what, when everyone is helpless.
Han Ming, who was shaped by Lei Jiayin, stood up and temporarily calmed the anger of these big truck drivers.
And among this group of troublemakers, there is also an actor with yellow hair.
only appeared on the scene for a few seconds before sharp-eyed netizens recognized him as Zhang Yimou's son Zhang Yinan.
Anyone who is familiar with Zhang Yinan knows that he is not actually developing in the acting field.
Now he is trying his hand at directing, although he has no outstanding directing works yet.
But it is true that through Zhang Yimou's fame, he has developed his own popularity in the entertainment industry.
Judging from Zhang Yinan's image, he does not have the face of Chen Kaigeson Chen Feiyu so beautiful that he can act in an idol drama.
But his temperament is very suitable for the big screen. Although there are very few shots in "Article 20", it is not inconsistent.
even has a down-to-earth grainy feel. At first glance, it is very suitable to create something with thickness. and story-telling characters.
Prior to this, Zhang Yinan also starred in Zhang Yimou's "Manjianghong".
created the role of the secretary in the movie, but the role was different and the presence was not strong.
But there was a refined and refined air about him sitting there.
It is not difficult to find out by comparing the secretary in "Man Jiang Hong" and the troublemaking driver in "Article 20".
Zhang Yinan is very capable in shaping his performance, and he also has a sense of instant vision in controlling the character's style.
It's a pity that with Zhang Yimou's influence, Zhang Yinan can definitely shine in the acting industry.
may even produce a performance quality that is not inferior to that of Lei Jiayin.
But Zhang Yinan does not, and his experience as an actor is very scarce. The short films that
participated in as a director and screenwriter did not have any big splashes.
In contrast, Zhang Yimou's daughter Zhang Mo has gradually gained recognition from the audience.
She assisted Zhang Yimou and participated in the creation of many movies.
From assistant director to now independent director, the audience can also see Zhang Mo's progress.
But whether it is Zhang Yimou's daughter or son. In addition to receiving guidance from Zhang Yimou,
is also destined to bear the pressure brought by his father.
At least for now, the creative abilities of the two are less than one-tenth of Zhang Yimou's.
As for Zhang Yimou, he did not give his children as much support as most fathers do. Chen Feiyu, who lives next door to
, could play the leading role in "Volunteer Army" where Chen Kaige gathered many big movie stars.
Compared to Zhang Yinan, who had fewer scenes in "Article 20", he doesn't have the benefits of being a second-generation star or a resource person.
But having said that, the audience has always been more harsh on the second generation of Stars.
What really impresses the audience is not the role of Gase, who is deliberately praised, but the acting ability. The most typical example of
is Wang Xiao. As an actor, he is probably the only actor who was only known to the public as a second-generation star after he became famous.
Compared with his father and mother's popularity in the entertainment industry, Wang Xiao is more popular and has created more classic roles.
As for negative teaching materials, Chen Feiyu in "Volunteer Army", Zou Yuanqing in "Undercover Police Girl", Wu Yueyang in "Hurry". Both
relied on their parents' fame to obtain resources that did not belong to them.
But the final reputation is hard to describe, and the works performed are not recognized.
Instead of doing this, it is better to be known to the audience through small roles like Zhang Yinan.
is accumulating experience step by step through constant performances and creations, working steadily and steadily.
is better than being dismissed by netizens as soon as it comes up.
It can also be seen from this point that Zhang Yimou is still very responsible for his film works.
His movies often use new people, especially female characters, who often use new faces.
In this case, he did not consider adding drama to his own people, which further illustrates Zhang Yimou's unselfish attitude towards creation.
Of course, one "Man Jiang Hong" followed another "Article 20".
Zhang Yinan brought full surprises to the audience.
Maybe next time, he will play a more important role in Zhang Yimou's film works. When the time comes, whether
will return to the background or come to the front will depend on his personal choice.
Finally, what are your thoughts on Zhang Yinan, who has only a few scenes in "Article 20"? Is
optimistic about him becoming an actor, director or producer?
