In recent days, the discussion about the film "Article 20" directed by Zhang Yimou has become louder and louder.
not only attracted teacher Luo Xiang, a "top law popularizer", to interpret the movie, but many viewers also spontaneously cheered for the movie.
Even the Supreme People's Procuratorate issued a rare series of film reviews, commenting on "Article 20":
is not only a legal-themed movie, but also a life movie that belongs to everyone, and will affect a person's sense of right and wrong and justice. feel.
With the strong recommendation of the official media and the audience, "Article 20" has also become a counterattack work during the Spring Festival.
movie box office has won the single-day box office championship for 7 consecutive days, and the box office forecast has also been increased for 7 consecutive days, and the box office is predicted to exceed 2.6 billion.
The most essential reason why "Article 20" has achieved such a reputation is that its story has great stamina.
This movie is based on realistic themes and the perspective of small people, and tells the justice and human feelings behind the law through the shell of comedy.
To make such a work of social significance, you must have actors who can match it.
In the play, Lei Jiayin, Ma Li, and Gao Ye all contributed outstanding acting skills.
Even supporting characters like Zhang Yi, Pan Binlong, and Fan Wei, who don't appear much, perform so well that you can't take your eyes away.
But even with the wonderful performances of so many actors, they still can't stop the stunning performance of one actor in the film.
She is Zhao Liying who plays Hao Xiuping.
The first is the breakthrough of the character.
Unlike the major heroines such as Chu Qiao and Ming Lan played by Zhao Liying in the past, the Hao Xiuping played by Zhao Liying in the film this time is very different.
In the words of Zhao Liying, this character is too bitter. It can be said that he is a low-level character with a lot of bitterness buffs.
Hao Xiuping herself has hearing impairment and cannot speak. Her daughter also has hearing impairment.
Fortunately, her daughter could be treated and recovered, so in order to provide medical treatment for her daughter, who was not a wealthy family, she and her husband borrowed a loan from the village tyrant at a high interest rate.
After the loan period expired, Hao Xiuping was unable to repay the loan, so the village bully came to press for the debt and humiliated her and her husband in every possible way.
In order to prevent the village bully from continuing to persecute his wife, the husband accidentally killed the village bully and faced prosecution for intentional injury.
Hao Xiuping and her daughter were also constantly harassed and threatened by the village bully’s family. After learning that her daughter had been kidnapped by the village bully’s family.
In order to save her husband and daughter, Hao Xiuping ran to the top floor and jumped to declare war on the evildoers who killed them.
It was precisely at this point that the husband's case attracted greater attention and a turning point, and at the same time brought out the core theme of the film.
How to define legitimate defense and return fairness and justice to the people.
Therefore, this role is also said by Zhang Yimou to play a leverage role in the film.
It is worth mentioning that the "silent" setting of Hao Xiuping's character was actually proposed by Zhao Liying.
Zhang Yimou said in an interview that the original setting of the script of "Article 20" was that his daughter was deaf-mute, and Hao Xiuping was not.
After Zhao Liying studied the script, she went to Zhang Yimou and expressed her thoughts. She believed that if her daughter is deaf-mute, then the mother should also be, which is more reasonable.
After listening, Zhang Yimou agreed with Zhao Liying's idea, so Hao Xiuping's settings were modified.
Zhao Liying, who understands and perceives the character with such heart, was also evaluated by Zhang Yimou:
Zhao Liying is not only an actor, but also a performer who thinks carefully about the character and digs deeply into the character's heart.
The second is a breakthrough in acting.
After the release of "Article 20", there was a hot search on the Internet, Zhao Liying strengthened her acting skills in domestic entertainment.
Hao Xiuping also ranked third in the hot search index list of movie characters released during the Spring Festival. From this, we can see the audience's recognition of Zhao Liying's performance.
Hao Xiuping, a role with few roles, has become one of the most impressive characters in the Spring Festival episode under Zhao Liying's interpretation.
Qingshi, who watched the film, was shocked by Zhao Liying's performance at least four times.
The first time was when my daughter was robbed at the station.
After her husband was arrested for stabbing a village bully, in order to avoid harassment from the village bully’s family, Hao Xiuping took her daughter to the station to leave.
This scene at the station is also the first appearance of Hao Xiuping, played by Zhao Liying.
Zhao Liying appeared without makeup, her hair was messy, and she was wearing shabby and dirty clothes. Her gray-headed look almost made the audience unrecognizable.
Due to long-term exposure to violence and bullying, as well as hiding in Tibet, Zhao Liying showed a timid look in her eyes, full of fear of bullies.
When Cun Ba’s family put their daughter in the car, as a mother, her expression was tense and anxious. Since
couldn't speak, he could only open his mouth wide and shout "Ahhh", and at the same time he rushed over and grabbed the child tightly.
The helplessness of struggling desperately and the determination to protect the child to the death were perfectly interpreted by Zhao Liying.
The second time was when I learned that my daughter was missing.
The prosecutor told Hao Xiuping that someone saw the knife in the car transferred by the village bully's companion, so Hao Xiuping entrusted her daughter to Li Maojuan to find a witness.
After Hao Xiuping found the witness, she knelt down and begged him to help her.
The village bully’s accomplices and the male protagonist also arrived at the construction site and threatened her.
Just when the village bully’s accomplices thought that their daughter was considering asking Hao Xiuping to sign an agreement, the male protagonist and his party rushed over and told Hao Xiuping that she could not sign.
When she heard the male protagonist say that her husband still had a chance, Zhao Liying showed an expression of surprise and joy.
Unexpectedly, the male protagonist suddenly received a call and learned that Hao Xiuping's daughter was lost. The village bully's associates told Hao Xiuping through sign language.
Hao Xiuping, who was not sure about the authenticity of the news, first politely asked the male protagonist where my child had gone.
The prosecutor played by Gao Ye told her that the child might have gone out to play. After hearing this, Hao Xiuping asked again, where did my child go?
Seeing that the male protagonist couldn't give an answer, Hao Xiuping almost collapsed, and asked more and more loudly where was my child?
In this performance, Zhao Liying used three "questions" to convey the character's emotional changes, from calmness, excitement to collapse.
Because she couldn't speak, she could only make the sound of "Ahhh", and her movements and expressions were quite wide, making people intuitively feel Hao Xiuping's urgency and pleading.
Zhao Liying, whose face was full of tears, vividly interpreted the helplessness of a mother, deeply touching the audience.
was bullied by the village bully for the third time.
Because he could not repay the loan shark, the village bully went to Hao Xiuping's house to cause trouble.
He tied Hao Xiuping's husband at the door like a dog, and then humiliated Hao Xiuping in the house.
After being insulted, Hao Xiuping walked out of the room. Her injured face, messy hair, and torn clothes all silently showed her misery.
She cried bitterly and looked at her husband, with a painful expression and vigorous gestures to express the hurt and insult she had suffered.
At that moment, Zhao Liying performed the character's pain and despair that she really didn't want to live.
This scene also deeply hurts the audience outside the screen, making people want to rush into the movie and punch the bully twice.
The fourth time is the leap from the rooftop.
After learning that her daughter had been kidnapped by the village bully's family, Hao Xiuping collapsed completely and ran to the roof of the construction site in anger.
This scene is one of the most shocking scenes in the entire film, and Zhao Liying performed three emotions in just one scene.
started out sad.
Hao Xiuping was on the rooftop with tears streaming down her face, her hair messy in the wind, and the veins on her neck bulging. She kept gesturing in sign language about the misery her family had suffered.
My husband is likely to be sentenced, and my daughter can’t be found.
At this time, she had no hope of survival and could only express her inner despair and anger by jumping off the building.
Then there is hope.
When Han Ming told her husband that there was still hope, Hao Xiuping asked if it was true?
Then Han Ming slowly approached her and stretched out his hand to her. Hope rekindled in Hao Xiuping's blurred eyes, and she slowly stretched out her hand.
This shot of Zhao Liying crying and holding hands with Lei Jiayin is really shocking. The despair conveyed by the scene is wrapped in a glimmer of hope that makes people unable to calm down for a long time.
is the final decision.
When Hao Xiuping realized that her husband and daughter could live only if she died, she jumped without hesitation.
At this moment, Zhao Liying's acting skills ushered in the most brilliant moment. Although there was no sound, it was more deafening than all the lines.
Zhao Liying used a vivid performance to demonstrate the inner complexity of a desperate and helpless mother, as well as the tenacity and dedication of a wife and mother to the family.
It can be seen from these, whether it is characters, makeup, or performances.
This time, Zhao Liying has subverted and broken through herself, using her superb performance to truly resonate with the audience and the character.
Even if she cannot speak, we as the audience can clearly hear her roar of grief and anger.
Zhao Liying's performance was also praised by the audience and the film's creators.
Pan Binlong, who played her husband, said he was moved by Zhao Liying's performance and worried that his performance did not match Zhao Liying's.
Director Zhang Yimou also spoke highly of Zhao Liying:
believes that she has broken through her ceiling in this performance and is no longer the Zhao Liying of the past.
The reason why she vividly interprets the role and wins everyone's praise is Zhao Liying's silent dedication.
As we all know, acting without lines is actually the most difficult, because all emotions need to be concentrated on the actor's expressions and movements.
In order to truly play the role of a deaf-mute, Zhao Liying experienced the life of disabled people in advance to feel their status and emotions.
And he basically didn’t speak on the set. He devoted himself to the role and practiced sign language over and over again to get into the role.
So over time, Zhang Yimou thought she didn't like to talk.
When Zhao Liying spoke next to Lei Jiayin, Lei Jiayin was even startled. He had forgotten that Zhao Liying could talk.
I have to say that Zhao Liying, who is so devoted to the role, has made many domestic entertainment actresses blush, and she has also embarked on another path as an actress.
After the Magnolia Awards Ceremony last year, when faced with running again, Zhao Liying very calmly posted: Keep running.
Qingshi hopes that Zhao Liying will continue to break through and improve herself, and bring more different types of good works and good characters to the audience.
also believes that Zhao Liying will have unlimited possibilities in the future if she continues to run like this.
will definitely shine the brightest and become a truly powerful actress.
