Play bully, play big names, know three things, this old drama bone has also overturned

's internal entertainment has added a hot phrase, " Uncle Quan Tiancai ". Many people from

enthusiastically participated, and even selected 16 seed players.

Wait, Peng Yuyan is considered an "uncle"?

However, Xiangyu's focus is a bit skewed.

Over the years, "Uncle Circle" has become popular one wave after another.

Why have you never heard of "Aunt Quan Tiancai"?

Looking at the Spring Festival file some time ago, actors in their fifties and sixties are still playing the leading roles.

There are very few actresses in the same age group on the screen. Even if

has a role, it is the image of a marginalized and facialized mother-in-law and mother.

And this kind of phenomenon does not only happen in internal entertainment.

A new play aims at the experiences of middle-aged and elderly actresses.

is sharp, real, and touching. Douban scored 8+ points.

fired the first shot of the rise of the "auntie circle" -

"Nolly"

nolly

In Britain in the 1980s, Nolly was one of the most well-known female stars.

She was the only one in the long-running hit soap opera of the time. When the character she played in the

got married, the fans of the show spontaneously showed up, and the battle was not inferior to today's fans "picking up the plane".

However, Nolly, who was so popular, was inexplicably fired one day! When

's agent conveyed the news to her, she didn't believe it at all.

She thought it was because the show crew deliberately threatened her with dismissal in order to squeeze out her vacation time.

until the head of the production team called and told her that her character in the play was about to die.

Nolly couldn't figure it out, why was she suddenly dismissed as the number one protagonist and national actress?

The scenery before the people, the vicissitudes of life after the people. In order to play a good role,

would memorize her lines carefully every day when she went home. When

was filming, she was even more worried about the presentation effect of the TV series.

pays close attention to the placement of props, accents of other characters, and positioning.

has been in the crew for eighteen years, she is familiar with everything here, even the cleaners are changed.

couldn't express the anger of being dismissed for no reason, so she could only ask like crazy: why ?

But reality didn't give her time to think.

Before she could find the answer, she was tortured day by day by the approaching "finishing" date.

At first, she couldn't believe that the show would make such a ridiculous decision.

In order to vent her dissatisfaction, and to prove to the crew how stupid their decision was, Nolly offered:

reduced the six-month finishing shoot to one month.

did not expect the person in charge of the crew to accept it.

Nolly is not sitting still.

She exposed to the media the inside story that fired her without a clear reason.

For a while, the crowd was excited.

The countless complaint calls and letters almost flooded the crew office.

Many drama fans spontaneously gathered to protest for Nolly.

But these supports and solidarity failed to change Noli's fate of being dismissed. The executives of the

company even took advantage of this wave of hot spots to make the TV series "black and red".

As the days pass, Nolly is about to face a dreadful dilemma.

She has tried many times, and almost sent her resume to every drama production company at that time, but every time she failed.

Facing the cruel reality, she had to admit:

No crew needed her who was over 50 years old, and she was about to be eliminated.

, a big star who has always been famous, can only bow her head in the end, begging the person in charge of the crew to give her another chance.

However, evenEven such a humble attitude cannot reverse her situation. She was rejected again by

, and finally failed to maintain her dignity.

The constant inquiries from people around her made her fall into deep self-doubt.

The more she wanted to find out the answer, the more she was afraid of it.

Could it be that I really can't do it?

After trying everything, Nolly was kicked out by the crew in the end. After

was forced to end her screen career, Nolly came to the theater in an attempt to make a comeback.

She dragged her tired body into rehearsals day after day.

here, no one thinks of her as a big star.

She is like a fledgling "rookie", who has become increasingly numb under the director's intensive training.

She managed to get better and better, but because of a trivial matter, the play could not be performed in England.

The palace of art she longed for rejected her again. In the end, she had to follow the troupe to perform in the far east.

But her bad luck is far from over.

The room leak happened to rain overnight, and when Nolly was watching a porn dance in Thailand, she was actually arrested by the police who made a surprise inspection.

But this miserable "trip to the police station" actually brought her an unexpected harvest.

A small local police officer who once worked for the same company as Nolly.

She once overheard that the person in charge of the crew complained about Noli's various behaviors to the company's senior management, and finally the senior management decided to fire Noli.

Nolly was furious when she found out the truth about her dismissal, so she decided to ask the person in charge of the crew to find out.

Nolly has always been aware of her problems.

is on the set, she is a "drama bully" who speaks one word.

In order to respect her opinion, the shooting scene is often turned into a mess.

The same prop, she held it in her hand for a while, put it back on the table for a while, and finally asked the staff to hand it to her. When

was filming, the sun was too bright where she was standing, so she changed the script, and the positions of all the actors present also changed.

When encountering someone who disobeys her opinions, even if it's her boss, she will still behave accordingly. The newly added characters in the

play come from areas with distinctive accents, and they are the people at the bottom. Together with the audience at that time,

was very happy to watch the down-to-earth and energetic performance. The person in charge of the

crew wanted the newcomers to speak in dialect.

But Nolly thinks it's a vulgar thing to say that lines have an accent.

She will never allow such a thing that "violates artistic principles" to appear in the drama she starred in.

So she categorically rejected the possibility of the crew leader letting the new characters speak in dialects.

even made it impossible for the person in charge to step down in front of everyone.

But she didn't understand why her boss kicked her out of the set without discussing this topic with her. After

finally met the person in charge, she asked a series of questions. In the end,

found out that the devastating blow to her career and life turned out to be a devastating accident. In the previous work, the head of the

crew often complained to his superiors about the problems of the actors, but there was no feedback or follow-up.

So this time, when he and the company's upper management complained about Nolly's problems, they didn't think about the consequences.

However, the speaker has no intention, but the listener has intention.

, the upper management of the company, actually listened to what he said, and directly fired Noli.

The person in charge neither had the courage to tell the boss about the oolong, nor did he have the courage to explain the situation to Nolly.

In the end, Noli was pushed off the "cliff".

In fact, Nolly's life has long been out of control. Before

's sudden career slump, her love life was already in turmoil.

She has been in love with a producer for twenty years, knowing that the other party has a family.

She said that she was deceived by love and men and could not grow into the person she could have been.

look at it with the mentality of eating melons, NollyThere are many "black spots" on my body that cannot be washed off.

Dominance, arrogance, playing big names, "knowing three as three"...

But Xiangyu thinks this character is very charming.

as the protagonist, she is not perfect, not even likable.

And this kind of unpleasantness is so rare.

All kinds of shortcomings, on the contrary, increase the conflict and complexity of the characters themselves.

, for example, Nori's little machine, is actually very cute. When

was on the set, she always emphasized that she never read the script before the rehearsal.

But after the official shooting started, she can always complete the performance without any mistakes.

In fact, in private, Nolly has made a lot of preparations. After

was kicked out of the show, her former colleagues asked her if she was still watching the show.

She said with a look of disdain that she has been too busy recently to watch.

In fact, she recorded every episode of the show, and while drinking, she continued to watch the show like masochistic.

is very similar to the bully we met in school who said he "didn't study hard".

There are still many such small details in the play, and it is this little bit that makes Noli "alive".

She is like an ordinary person we often see in our lives, "tsundere" and "upright".

She has gone a long way, made mistakes, won awards, and still wants to live a prosperous and prosperous final life with ups and downs.

But at the same time of pleasant surprise, Xiangyu couldn't help sighing.

In contrast to domestic entertainment, what kind of unlovable elderly women in film and television dramas are they like?

The images of "evil mother-in-law" and "low-quality aunt" emerged almost immediately.

These elderly women are simply tool-like existences, and they seem to exist exclusively to raise the audience's blood pressure. How many national treasure-level old drama bones were wasted for a role like

?

"Evil mother-in-law professional" Pan Hong performed "Three Seals of Golden Rooster" with extreme restraint, tension and appeal when she was young.

As she got older, her experience and skills became more mature, and she should have continued to shine.

However, now she is also disliked for "acting in the same way" and "acting in a facial makeup and stylization".

Although sad, but in a way, this is the truth.

After all, where does the stereotyped tool person evil mother-in-law get the performance space to build their hearts?

In contrast, middle-aged and elderly actresses have a wider range of roles in European and American film circles.

Huppert, who is one year older than Pan Hong, is still active in the film industry. What

plays is not "mother" or "grandmother", but women with different professional identities and life states.

Last year's most popular foreign film "Good Luck, Rio Grande" is about the love and desire between an elderly female intellectual and a young fresh meat.

Emma Thompson was in her 60s when she starred in this film. Helena, who plays

Nolly, also has a "long standby time".

She can be Tim Burton's weird "crazy lady".

could also be the social activist in The Suffragette.

When internal entertainment mentions "old drama bones" and "no drama to shoot", the audience can almost subconsciously think of many male actors.

The middle-aged and elderly actresses not only have no scenes to film, but are even marginalized and lose their voices.

What they lack is not acting skills.

but chance. As long as

has the right opportunity, he can contribute a highlight moment.

is like "Auntie Guo" Liu Dan in "The Beginning".

"Mom! Xi Meijuan and Wu Yanshu in ".

It's a pity that such opportunities are still too few and far too few.

In 2023, the "uncle circle" will explode again.

When will the golden age of "aunt circle" be? The full text of

is over.
