The battle of the Spring Festival movies is about to begin!
Although there are still several days until the first day of the Lunar New Year, the major Spring Festival movie promotions can be said to be full of energy!
For example, " speeding life 2". In addition to old members such as Shen Teng and Yin Zheng,
also invited a series of traffic niches such as Fan Chengcheng, Yu Shi, Hu Xianxu, and Huang Jingyu.
racing car + handsome guy, the director knows very well what the audience wants to see.
Also, "Hot and Spicy".
used Jia Ling's weight loss to build momentum in the early stage, and now it has also brought Yang Zi into the game. The overall publicity direction is not wrong, but it is too early and can easily cause backlash, so it is better to keep a low profile.
In fact, the movie that knows how to catch people's attention the most is Zhang Yimou's new film "Article 20".
Lei Jiayin , Ma Li , Wang Xiao, Gao Ye and other powerful actors are basically known to the audience, but their popularity is just that, without any big highlights.
So this time "National Master" has bet its box office on one actor, that is -
Zhao Liying .
01
85花成电影主片
Many people think that Zhao Liying is too humble in order to squeeze into the film industry, and she is even willing to be Ma Li's co-star.
In the movie " Article 20 ", Hao Xiuping played by Zhao Liying belongs to the second rank. This rank does not seem to match the title of 85 flower, so that the audience feels that she has lowered her status.
But in fact, Zhao Liying was not wronged at all. On the contrary, Ma Li's current situation is a bit embarrassing.
Don’t believe it?
Let’s take a look at the location of the “Article 20” New Year Family Portrait magazine blockbuster shooting location.
The first is a group photo of the actors and director. The C position in the first row of
is naturally Zhang Yimou’s position.
So logically speaking, the director's left and right hands should be the male and female protagonists of this drama.
But Zhang Yimou’s left hand is Lei Jiayin, but his right hand is Zhao Liying.
Is this really appropriate?
Some people may think that this arrangement is based on roles. The two families on either side of the director are the two families in the film.
But I didn’t see Pan Binlong sitting next to Zhang Yimou.
In fact, the audience is not stupid. It is obvious who has more weight in the director's heart and who is the main character in the movie.
Let’s look at it from another angle.
Looking at this photo alone, Zhang Yimou is standing in the center of the crowd's attention, while the other actors are sitting on the other side, cheering and laughing at the camera.
If I hadn't been the first to know the plot and the relationship between the characters, I'm afraid many people would have thought that Zhao Liying and Lei Jiayin were a couple, right?
Without a director, the two of them are in the center.
At first glance, Ma Li looks more like the second female lead.
In addition to the group photo, there are also photos of the three actresses.
Originally, I thought it was Ma Li’s turn to be in the middle this time, right? After all, she is a serious heroine.
But what I never expected was that Zhao Liying was so rich that Gao Ye and Ma Li could be used as foils at the same time.
It is not difficult to see that in the photo of the three of them, Zhao Liying is still in the c position, while the remaining two people are surrounding her.
This is really "all the stars supporting the moon"!
is a movie where the sophistication of people and status in the world are all vividly reflected in this group photo.
It turns out that Zhang Yimou would also bow down to "traffic", and the female lead would also have to give way to the second female lead.
02
Traffic is paramount, which is lamentable
The entertainment industry is a very realistic place, and being "popular" is an actor's greatest capital.
Even the national master Zhang Yimou has obviously been willing to bow to traffic in the past two years. There are many traffic actors like Liu Haocun, Yi Yang Qianxi, Liu Yaowen, and Zhao Liying in the movie.
And this time the "Article 20" promotion period focused on the 85 flower Zhao Liying.
Although she is the second female lead, Zhang Yimou himself said that this role serves as a lever and is also the engine of the entire film.
I know, I know, I know Zhang Yimou holds Zhao Liying in high esteem, so he is just about to ask her to replace Ma Li.
This is the first time I have seen a film heroine who is so inconspicuous, and the director keeps playing the second female lead.
And even at the press conference, Zhang Yimou kept circling around Zhao Liying. Seeing that others ignored him, he left with an awkward smile.
To be honest, Zhao Liying did have a reason to impress the director this time.
This is the first time she has challenged the role of a hearing-impaired person. The Hao Xiuping she played was originally just an ordinary woman.
But after seeing the role, Zhao Liying felt that the child was a deaf-mute and the mother could also be a deaf-mute. Zhang Yimou was stunned for a moment and said bluntly, "Your proposal is very tempting to me."
It turns out that she fought for this role by herself. No wonder she can figure out the character so well that she even basically stayed silent on the set, practicing sign language while immersed in the emotions of the character.
The male protagonist Lei Jiayin was not familiar with Zhao Liying. One time, he suddenly heard her voice in his ear. He was startled and blurted out: "So he can talk!"
While the interview made people feel funny, in fact Lei Jiayin also On the side, he praised Zhao Liying for how serious she was during the performance stage.
Pan Binlong, who co-starred with Zhao Liying, was once worried that his role was not good enough for her because he thought her performance was too good.
It can be seen in the trailer released by the film crew that Zhao Liying does not have any lines and can only rely on her eyes and body movements to convey the character's emotions throughout the process.
When she was bullied by the bullies, she had no chance to express her grievances. With tears in her eyes, she stared blankly at the other person, helpless and confused, which made people feel uncomfortable.
Even many deaf and mute viewers felt the same way after watching it. They expressed their gratitude to Zhao Liying on the Internet and thanked her for her willingness to speak out for groups like them. Zhao Liying responded in sign language in person, which was also very attentive.
Judging from Zhao Liying's national status, popularity and status in the world today, she is confident that she can be appreciated by Zhang Yimou and receive a more prestigious treatment than the heroine.

Conclusion
"Article 20" is Zhao Liying's key work to enter the film industry, and her success or failure depends on it.
When 85 flowers are looking for new ways out, Zhao Liying is not willing to stop in the TV drama circle.
Since the Magnolia Awards, she has not appeared on any major red carpet for a long time, and she has not even been seen in variety shows.
Compared with other actresses who frequently show their faces and reduce their mystery, it can be seen that Zhao Liying is still quite sober.
She knows what her advantages are. Although she has received some preferential treatment through her popularity, celebrity status and traffic, Zhao Liying's own strength is also worthy of these special treatment, which convinced the audience.
However, I hope the director will use less of these frivolous things in the promotion stage. Going too far is not enough, so that the audience will not be disgusted by it. Just stop it.
So are you looking forward to the broadcast of this movie?
