Zhang Yimou made another move, and it was another trump card.
's comedy-reality-themed "Article 20" currently has a cumulative box office of over 1 billion.
More than 190,000 viewers gave it a high score of 7.7. There is no doubt that Zhang Yimou's movie has become another one.
The key is that Zhang Yimou can not only shoot, but also choose actors. He chose three actresses for "Article 20".
One is 41-year-old Ma Li, the other is 36-year-old Gao Ye, and the other is 36-year-old Zhao Liying.
Someone has taken the leading role on the screen early and is recognized as a powerful person.
There are also people who have just become popular with their roles, and there are also top celebrities whose popularity has always been more eye-catching than their ability.
Put three people with different performance modes and performance experience together, and it is very likely that they will not be able to perform together.
But Zhang Yimou let everyone see the contrast between God's reward for eating and his acting skills after graduating from a major. It is really clear at a glance.
01
Ma Li: Putting the quarrel scene into a quality of life
I used to think that Ma Li would only be interesting if she was paired with Shen Teng.
After watching this movie, I found that Ma Li could portray the character with a down-to-earth quality of life with or without Shen Teng.
Li Maojuan's character in "Article 20" is a tough but kind-hearted character, and she acts tough.
Ma Li was so familiar with it that she slapped Zhang Yi to the ground with two slaps and glared at him.
Lei Jiayin honestly referred to "preserved egg" as "queen" in front of her.
But the most real thing is the emotional changes in various small details.
When she went to apologize to the school leaders for her son.
went from being patient when he put down his face and took the initiative to toast, to the point where the other party refused to give up and became unbearable.
The emotions are progressive and make people feel deeply involved.
The audience switched to the role of Li Maojuan and experienced the same transition from helplessness to anger.
There is also a love rival who is extremely jealous when meeting each other, and he is also played by Ma Li in a very realistic way, with a smile on his face.
But he smiled reluctantly and kept looking at the other person up and down.
is indeed an actor with a professional background, and can perform all kinds of details well.
02
Gao Ye: Zhang Yimou, a practitioner of the rule of law who is both "axial" and just,
, knows how to give the audience a sense of contrast.
After Gao Ye finished playing the sister-in-law, he asked her to play a very "shabby" prosecutor. Both
are a bit strong, but the former is brought about by confidence, while the latter is due to personality.
They have similarities, but to perform different looks and perceptions, high requirements are placed on Gao Ye.
But Zhang Yimou dared to give her such a role, which shows that Gao Ye must have two skills.
plays the "axis" side of the character. Gao Ye plays a stubborn feeling and dares to challenge the leader directly.
No one is as important as justice. Such a "powder keg" character makes people feel unreasonable.
But she also demonstrated her perseverance to stand up for justice.
Gao Ye played the role very accurately, but the image is not single.
Because of the axis, she learned sign language when helping Hao Xiuping.
also challenged the village bully regardless of his own safety because of the axis.
Even though he was demoted by the prosecutor's office, he still insisted on persuading his colleagues to rule the case as self-defense. Rule of law practitioners like
are not common, but they are very three-dimensional.
If this role were played by someone else, it would be easy to cause drama by being too deliberate.
Because this kind of people who make different sounds all the time are rare in real life.
But she represents absolute justice and is the person most likely to change the real world.
If you act well, you will feel sincere, but if you act poorly, you will feel suspended. Fortunately, Gao Ye is the former.
’s professional acting skills made her role more attractive.
03
Zhao Liying: Use the most sloppy image to make people cry.
Let Zhao Liying play Hao Xiuping. It can be said that Zhang Yimou made a dangerous move.
First of all, this role has a wider span than the characters Zhao Liying has interpreted in the past.
And Zhao Liying's acting experience is mostly on the small screen, and she has only a handful of big screen works.
But Zhang Yimou, who has no doubts about employing people, not only handed over such an important role to Zhao Liying.
also agrees that she turned an image that was not a deaf-mute person into a deaf-mute person.
In order to answer this difficult question for herself, Zhao Liying hardly communicated with others when she was on the set.
is immersed in Hao Xiuping's state, and also depicts the character with a pure bare-faced image.
Hao Xiuping is the one who has the most miserable experience in the whole film, and is the sloppiest in her dress.
But even so, Zhao Liying, who did not have a single line in the whole performance, was able to make everyone cry.
Her performance is silent, but the expression of emotions is deafening.
When she learned that her daughter was missing and she was forced by the village bully to sign.
Hao Xiuping, who ran to the rooftop and wanted to commit suicide, looked desperate and cried into tears.
When she stretched out her hand to say her final farewell, she felt a sense of determination after being completely relieved.
At this moment, the wind blew Zhao Liying's hair into chaos, and her tears mixed with sweat, soaking her entire face. There is no trick involved in
's performance.
It's a completely natural expression of emotion. It feels like the wind is helping Zhao Liying's performance in this scene.
There is no doubt that Zhao Liying, who has not studied acting systematically, is a typical talented player.
There was still light in her eyes when she expressed her gratitude to the prosecutor in the film, which made everyone feel the kindness of the character.
When she saw strangers being kind to her, she took her children to express her gratitude.
can even make everyone feel from her eyes that Hao Xiuping is not just grateful at this moment.
There is also a promise that every drop of kindness will be repaid by a spring of water in the future.
It is not easy to play this role well.
But Zhao Liying performed the character's tragedy and also performed the stubbornness of the people at the bottom to resist their fate.
and the perseverance of a wife and mother.
The role is very difficult, but once it is played by Zhao Liying, who has the aura, it feels natural.
After watching Zhao Liying's performance, I felt that she was Hao Xiuping herself.
Conclusion
Obviously, when Ma Li and Gao Ye, who graduated from a major, presented their roles, their first impression was that they were stable and accurate.
has skills in it, but it also incorporates real feelings.
The more you watch it, the more immersive it becomes, and even the more it plays, the more touching it becomes.
Zhao Liying, on the other hand, is a gifted actor who is rewarded by God and has no professional and systematic acting training.
naturally does not have so many tricks.
But this does not prevent her from using a very contagious performance to vividly interpret a low-level woman.
She is like Hao Xiuping herself, suffering and suffering.
still retains a kind and pure heart.
Every crying scene and every look in her eyes make people feel distressed.
It can be seen that whether you can play a good role has no direct relationship with whether you have a major or not.
These three actresses have their own merits and are all excellent actors.
I don’t know whose acting skills surprise you the most?
