The box office war in the Spring Festival movie market has finally come to an end, and it is still a scene where some are happy and some are sad.
But in terms of reputation, it is actually pretty good.
At the same time, this wave of traffic stars testing the waters can be considered as each showing their own special skills.
Fan Chengcheng's role in "Flying Life 2" is actually not too large, and there is still room for improvement in comedy effect, but he has a tacit understanding with Shen Teng.
In "Hot and Spicy", Yang Zi doesn't have much room to show off her performance. Her acting skills are considered the best among her peers. Perhaps realistic themes will be more suitable for her acting style than comedy.
And Zhao Liying really stole the show this time.
As the main player in the early promotion, Lao Mouzi has always been able to accurately capture the audience's attention. The role of Hao Xiuping seems to be tailor-made for Zhao Liying.
has become a blockbuster even if it is not popular. It must be said that Zhao Liying has become the leading player of 85 Flowers.
There is no way to express or vent. In film and television dramas, it is really difficult for the hearing-impaired to act. In
's explosive scenes, actors must have good control of their movements. If they are not careful, their facial features will fly around. Especially in the painful scenes of torture, only by being precise can the audience be instantly attracted to the scene.
It is no exaggeration to say that Zhao Liying has done it all.
In the scene without any emotional ups and downs, Zhao Liying just stood there, and the audience could already get the characteristics of the character through the big screen.
It was a state of complete ignorance, completely unable to hear or understand, but anxiously trying to understand the other party's intentions.
Later, in the process of finding witnesses and negotiating with the villagers, Zhao Liying’s performance once again made my eyes shine.
At the beginning, she could still be a little calm and negotiate with a large group of people on the opposite side. However, when the child was mentioned, Hao Xiuping immediately panicked.
forced to hold back the tears that wanted to flow. She kept waving her hands, but her thin body burst out with huge energy. Even if she was one to many, there was no cowardice at all. That was the power of a mother.
The scene where Hao Xiuping was persecuted is still fresh in the audience’s memory.
The actor Aruna here also made Liu Wenjing's bad character go down to the core. That slap made me feel my face was burning with pain.
Zhao Liying was slapped hard in the mouth. The injuries on her face and neck were shocking. The panic in her eyes coupled with the look of wanting to speak, really grabbed the hearts of the audience.
After finishing, she walked out the door disheveled.
It was a face of complete collapse. She didn't care about her nakedness and nosebleeds. Zhao Liying really showed the despair of not wanting to live.
It’s bitter, Hao Xiuping is really bitter.
Every crying scene is not just crying, but complex emotions.
Hao Xiuping refused to accept her fate, but she could turn around and jump from the high-rise building on the construction site without hesitation. She wanted to resist, but fate choked her.
The reason why Zhao Liying can portray the character well regardless of the image is because she really lives in the character.
Lei Jiayin and Aruna both mentioned that even if the camera is turned off, Zhao Liying still doesn't communicate much with other people.
During filming, she seemed to have really transformed into Hao Xiuping.
However, in order to prevent Aruna from having a psychological burden, Zhao Liying would only take the initiative to chat with Aruna. The two of them would become more familiar with each other, allowing Aruna to act more naturally.
No wonder Zhang Yimou praised her repeatedly. Zhao Liying’s attitude towards acting and her strength are worthy of praise from the audience.
I can only say that there is no harm without comparison. Scenes of being beaten and abused are actually not uncommon in domestic film and television works.
It's just that these scenes are not that easy to perform, and the performances of many actors make people break their defenses in a second.
For example, some 85 flowers, when slapped, it seems like nothing happened.
In "Female Doctor Ming Fei Biography", Huang Xuan waved his big hand and slapped Liu Shishi firmly on the face, causing Liu Shishi to stagger after being beaten.
When the camera turned, I didn't know that this sister was playing a blind person, with an expressionless face and dull eyes.
Tang Yan was beaten in the same way.
In "The Young Lady", the vicious female lead stared at the heroine fiercely, then raised her hand for a moment.
As soon as the screen turned, the hand seemed to be gently stroking Tang Yan's face, and Tang Yan seemed to be delaying, so she lowered her hand before turning her head away.
No, you two are playing house here, and you really treat the audience as fools.
and Yang Ying, who has not been found.
What a beautiful face. Good guy, even a slap in the face can produce a comedy effect.
Let me tell you, you have been criticized for your acting skills for so many years, so you probably haven't found the right role. Not many people can do it as a comedy.
didn’t even touch his face with his hand, but he was throwing it around. People who didn’t know it thought he was dancing to a disco.
was beaten so hard that even the corners of her mouth were bleeding. This girl was still like a piece of wood, dumbly reciting the next lines, as if it was someone else who was beaten just a second ago.
"I Want to Go Against the Wind" also contributed two "famous slap scenes".
The second female lead had to wear a half-face mask for some reason. After an argument with the supporting character opposite, the other side slapped her and screamed.
I thought it would start to tear off, but I didn’t expect that the big slap turned into a "pull", and the mask fell off as soon as it was pulled. It was really funny.
Later, the female protagonist and the male partner were involved.
I don’t know why I have to break my face like this in front of everyone if I work hard. Anyway, this slap was really hard.
Zhong Chuxi's emotions here were quite well acted, and Wei Zheming was also beaten so hard that his face turned away.
Everything in the scene is either angry or guilty, and the audience can guess the next emotion of the male partner.
As a result, this guy had no expression on his face. Instead, he looked like an angry little daughter-in-law, as if she had just confessed her love and been rejected.
What on earth is this going on?
Conclusion
I can only say that there is no harm if there is no comparison. How many actors either use stand-ins or borrowed positions for their performances, or their performances are so messed up that they can make people laugh even if they are beaten.
After watching "Article 20", I was really impressed by Zhao Liying. If this kind of role was played by someone else, I can't imagine what the effect would be. I can only say that Zhang Yimou still has a certain vision.
Zhao Liying's film career has been completely opened. From "Do you know whether you should be green, fat, red and thin" to "Happiness Comes to Thousands of Houses" and "The Wind Blowing Pinellia", she has been able to control various dramas.
will also be followed by the heroine "Qiao Yan's Mind", as well as movies directed by Wu Bai and Peter Chan.
I wonder what kind of surprises Zhao Liying will bring to the audience. Do you like Zhao Liying's performance in "Article 20"?
