Comedians from Northeast China account for half of China’s comedy industry.
So when it comes to Northeastern actors, everyone only remembers their comedy and forgets their strength.
In the 2024 Spring Festival, the three films "Flying Life 2", "Hot and Spicy" and "Article 20" are full of Northeastern actors, and they also handed over surprising answers.
Today I will talk to you about the 8 Northeastern actors who dominate the Spring Festival. Who has better acting skills?
08 Ma Li
Ma Li's acting skills have always been controversial. Her performance in "Article 20" was also given a fair score of 8.7 by the audience.
In the play, the husband-wife interaction between Ma Li and Lei Jiayin is very real, but it is not acted.
According to them, many scenes were performed on the spot. For example, when the couple quarreled and settled old scores, Ma Li said that her first love was called "Li Kui", and she burst into laughter after saying this.
In fact, everyone knows that comedy is difficult to perform. If you use too little force, it will be silent, but if you use too much force, it will appear embarrassing. Ma Li balances this very well, and simple lines are a good burden in her mouth.
However, Ma Li's rich performance experience made some viewers feel that she exerted too much force, and her quick thinking and blurting out words were like a sketch show.
This is also Ma Li’s shortcoming.
07 Lei Jiayin
Many netizens ridiculed that Lei Jiayin is the biggest winner of this Spring Festival. While he is busy playing the role of a scumbag in "Hot and Spicy", he is also busy playing the prosecutor in "Article 20". The most important thing is Both of these characters are perfect male leads.
However, these two very different characters did not make the audience feel like they were in a drama.
"Article 20" is adapted based on the criminal law, with "justifiable defense" as the theme of the movie. Zhang Yimou not only made Lei Jiayin the male lead, but also asked powerful actors such as Ma Li, Zhao Liying, and Gao Ye to provide supporting roles.
If you don't pay attention, Lei Jiayin will be suppressed.
In his first appearance in the film, Lei Jiayin designed some small details to increase the authenticity of the character. For example, when he is middle-aged and has backache and no formal position at work, he has to nod his head and have the best of both worlds.
At the end, he grew up step by step, and actually put aside caution in front of everyone and made an impassioned speech to push the plot to a climax.
More importantly, the audience is used to the on-screen couple Shen Teng and Ma Li, so they did not feel embarrassed when they were replaced by Lei Jiayin.
This is Lei Jiayin's ability, which made Zhang Yimou say: "What does it look like when you act!"
06 Sha Yi
Sha Yi plays the owner of a boxing club in "Hot and Spicy". He is very life-like from beginning to end. There seems to be no difference between Sha Yi on the screen and in life.
Therefore, among the big names during the Spring Festival, he is neither funny nor sensational.
But Sha Yi's acting skills should not be underestimated.
I still remember that in "The Wandering Earth 2", Sha Yi stood out among the big names and left a deep impression on the author.
The sentence "China Aerospace Flight Squadron, those over fifty years old, come out", shouting out the sense of mission that they are willing to accept death as home.
But before that, the audience's impression of Sha Yi was the smooth-tongued "Yingzi, open the door, Daddy" in "Little Joy".
Going further back, it should be the fair-skinned Thieves' White Jade Soup in "Wulin Gaiden".
Along the way, Sha Yi seemed to be born at the wrong time.
When he was a young boy, handsome men like Chen Daoming were popular on the screen; when he started to be a handsome boy, young boys were popular again; now he has finally established a funny character, and the uncle circle is popular in the circle... ...
But no matter how it changes, as long as Sha Yi is attentive, if he wants the audience to cry, the audience will cry; if he wants the audience to be happy, the audience will laugh forward and backward, and he can manipulate the audience without knowing it. Sha Yi is very powerful.
05 Shen Chunyang
The author was very surprised when Shen Chunyang appeared in "Hot and Spicy", and I had to praise Jia Ling for her excellent casting.
As a duo actor, Shen Chunyang can sing and act.
Regarding her singing skills, the author will tell you a little trivia: Xiao Shenyang is Shen Chunyang's fanboy.
The high notes of this couple are better than the other.
Shen Chunyang's acting skills came to prominence as early as in "Cherry Red", in which he played the mentally retarded mother Cherry, and won the Huading Award for the National Audience's Favorite Star.
When working with Jia Ling this time, Shen Chunyang even teased her own appearance openly. She seemed to have integrated into the character, and a small expression was ready to make the audience laugh.
I hope Shen Chunyang will star in more movies in the future and make the audience addicted!
04 Zhang Xiaofei
Zhang Xiaofei's acting skills are underestimated. In the past, no matter how hard she tried, she could not leave a trace. After joining forces with Jia Ling, she became popular with "Hello, Li Huanying". This time, Zhang Xiaofei also contributed commendable acting skills in "Hot and Spicy".
In "Hot and Spicy", Zhang Xiaofei's character is not likable and sarcastic. For the sake of the house and the children, he set a trap for his sister and even got into a fight.
Seeing her sister reinvent herself, she didn't feel proud of her sister, nor did she burst into tears in a conventional way.
It was just that my sister was beaten on stage and her mouth was filled with blood. The camera gave a close-up of Zhang Xiaofei. Her face was half distressed and half indifferent.
In fact, such complicated processing is in line with human nature.
In "Hello, Li Huanying", Zhang Xiaofei exudes kind motherly love, but in "Hot and Spicy", Zhang Xiaofei becomes a mean and cheating sister.
The contrast between before and after was so great that the audience changed their view of her.
03 Zhang Yi
Zhang Yi has played many homogeneous roles in the past two years. He speaks a dialect of unknown origin and does things submissively. This also brought his acting skills into question.
However, in "Article 20", Zhang Yi changed his normal behavior and played a "villain".
In the play, his son bullied his classmates, but Ma Li's son took the initiative and beat Zhang Yi's son. But his son was a good boy in front of his father, and Zhang Yi was always kept in the dark. That's why he didn't understand Ma Li's family.
I believe that friends who have watched the entire movie were affected by Zhang Yi. In the first half, they thought he was unreasonable, but in the end they realized that he was a pitiful person.
At the same time, I can even feel that Zhang Yi's acting skills are beyond doubt.
For example, when talking to Ma Li, Zhang Yi felt that the other party was unreasonable. His lips trembled first, then he closed his lips tightly and looked at the other party.
can easily control facial muscles and perform both serious and funny temperament, which not many people can do.
What’s more worth mentioning is that Zhang Yi will give some opinions to the characters to make them more three-dimensional.
For example, in the police station scene, the original setting was for the son to walk in carefree, highlighting his arrogance.
But he suggested that the children stand carefully beside him, which would make the whole story more closed-loop. Because the child is obedient and sensible in front of him, he will believe his son's words and put himself in the position of "villain".
As long as Zhang Yi no longer plays homogeneous roles, he can always surprise the audience.
02 Shen Teng
Shen Teng's performance in "Flying Life 2" is not a breakthrough, but it can be felt that Wang Jing's evaluation of him is coming true.
"Shen Teng doesn't want to act in comedy anymore."
Indeed, from the first part of "Flying Life", Shen Teng wanted to play a father, wanted to die, and wanted to transform.
So he acted in movies such as "Four Seas", "Crazy Alien", "Hello, Li Huanying", "Man Jiang Hong", etc. These movies not only contain comedy, but also youth, passion, madness, and the death he wanted.
However, the characteristics of these directors were too distinct, suppressing Shen Teng's own characteristics, and ended up making wedding dresses for others.
However, in "Flying Life 2", Shen Teng's two crying scenes made the author sit up and take notice.
First, he wanted to overcome himself, so he got into the driver's seat again at night, but the car overturned, and he burst into tears.
The second is that he found the lead seal he had lost.
Because the lead seal was lost, his breakthrough of 59 minutes and 58 seconds was never recognized, which also made him doubt himself.
But it was many years later that he discovered that the lead seal had been in the garage of the organizing committee. The organizing committee said lightly: "This is all in the past, it is not important."
Zhang Chi's grievance broke out: "I can not give up the results, but I You have to be innocent."
At this time, Shen Teng had already exceeded the confinement of a "comedian"!
hopes that Shen Teng, a comedy genius, can achieve transformation while retaining his own characteristics.
01 Fan Wei
Zhang Yimou's "Article 20" is the film with the most hits and the most popular movies in this year's Spring Festival. The author honestly did not expect that Mr. Fan Wei was among them.
When it comes to his acting skills, the audience will automatically ignore it. After all, the sketches between him and Zhao Benshan are too classic.
However, Fan Wei also performed superb acting skills in film and television dramas such as "Ma Dashuai" and "Liu Laogen". Last year, Fan Wei even starred in the movie "The Long Season", letting the audience know that he is still a treasure trove.
In "Article 20", Fan Wei "disguises" very well. He doesn't look like a bully on the surface, but he always stands on the highest moral level and speaks high-sounding words.
If I were not careful, I would really think that he was right in saying that killing someone is the right thing to do.
One second he was kind and persuading, and he was a loving elder; but the next second he turned into a bully, snatching away the child and forcing Hao Xiuping to sign.
It is not easy to create such a character. Fortunately, this person is Fan Wei, and you can always trust his acting skills!
Now that the Spring Festival season has come to an end, "Hot and Furious" won the box office championship, but "Article 20" has accumulated a lot of experience, which is surprising. The Spring Festival show of
is even more "monopolized" by Northeastern actors. Actors from three age groups, old, middle and young, have completed the relay to ensure that this black land that breeds comedy stars will be passed down from generation to generation.
Who do you think has better acting skills among the above eight actors? Welcome to discuss~
