, as a new director and famous actor in the Chinese film circle, Xu Zheng is famous for the "囧" series of comedies such as "People on the Road", "Thailand", "Hong Kong" and "囧 Mom", except for "People on the Road" In addition, the rest of the films are directed and acted by Xu Zheng, and "Tai囧" also set a Chinese box office record. In this series of films, Xu Zheng's image of a man in crisis in the middle age is also deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
mentioned Xu Zheng, and had to mention another famous actor Huang Bo. Both of them are actors with acting skills and box office appeal in the current Chinese film and television industry, and they have also co-starred in film works such as "Heart Flower", "Hong Kong Joke" and "No Man's Land". In addition, Huang Bo is also good at shaping the image of a man in a mid-life crisis.
Whether it’s the "People Caught by Light" released last year or the "囧Mom" released this year, Huang Bo and Xu Zheng have created the image of a middle-aged crisis man with their superb acting skills. Through the comparison of watching movies, it is found that although the two people have similar character images, they have different emphasis. After combing the classic characters created by the two, we can see that although both are middle-aged, the crisis is different.
Huang Bo's character image is more grass-rooted. From Huang Bo’s "Bull Fighting", played by Niu Er, to Geng Hao, who played in "Flowers of Heart", to Huang Bo's self-directed and self-acted "A Good Show", played by Ma Jin and "Be Guang" The characters in Huang Bo's masterpieces at various stages of his acting career, such as Wu Wenxue played in "The Man Taken", are mostly showing their career failures and broken families.
Niu Er in "Bullfighting" is a bachelor at the bottom of the village, Geng Hao in "Bullard", his career failed and his wife wants to divorce him; Ma Jin in "A Good Show", a marginal man in the company With huge debts, Shan Shan, who likes Hsu Qi, but dare not confess; Wu Wenxue in "The Man Caught by Light", as a senior teacher, has not been able to appraise a professional title, and his wife is also separated from her... ...
In short, the image of a middle-aged man portrayed by Huang Bo is facing a double crisis of family and career. Under the weight of the mid-life crisis, most of these characters portrayed by Huang Bo experienced struggles, and most of them accepted the reality with a calm attitude.
In comparison, most of the roles that Xu Zheng portrays are showing the emotional crisis of successful urban middle-class careers. From Li Chenggong, the owner of the toy conglomerate in "People on the Journey", to Xu Lang in "Tai囧", to Xu Lai, the boss of the underwear factory in "Hong Kong囧", and Xu Yiwan in "囧Mom", Even Cheng Yong in "I'm Not the God of Medicine" has succeeded in his career, but is facing an emotional crisis. Li Chenggong tried to divorce his wife because of a third party; Xu Lang was facing the crisis of his wife's divorce; Xu Lai was emotionally unsatisfactory in his career, trying to find his first love and relive his old dreams; Xu Yiwan was also facing the crisis of his wife's divorce...
Therefore, in Xu Zheng's classic role, career has never been the pressure of life, and emotional crisis is the aspect he has been focusing on. As the image-based shaping of the urban middle class, the characters created by Xu Zheng mainly focus on the emotional crisis they are facing, and most of the solutions to this crisis are through the intervention of a third party to produce emotional shocks to the characters to achieve the purpose of solving the crisis. , And for the two parties in real crisis (marital relationship), an avoidance method is adopted. Therefore, Xu Zheng takes an evasive attitude towards real life crises.
, as two of the most important actors in the current Chinese film circle, has created many classic comedy movies for us. They are also good at showing the image of a middle-aged crisis man, but the two have their own good points. The character image created by Huang Bo gives us the courage to face the imperfections of life bravely after recognizing the reality of life. Enveloped in the shell of comedy, it reveals compassion. The character image created by Xu Zheng always believes that there will be external "divine power" to help the middle-aged people's emotional confusion, and give the viewers warm hope.
asThe two excellent filmmakers also hope that they can continue to contribute more excellent works to us. Text/Jiang Er
