It is not difficult to see from the Spring Festival movie market war that has ended this year that the "involution" between directors can no longer be hidden.
Jia Ling relied on her super personal perseverance to once again counterattack and dominate the Spring Festival.
And Han Han will lead the mainland comedy brother to restart the 5-year-old IP.
Looking at it this way, the national teacher Zhang Yimou is no longer popular?
Although the total box office of " Article 20 " seems to be unsatisfactory.
But when the craze gradually fades, only those with real stamina begin to catch up.
Yes, even on the current working day, "Article 20" has won the championship in daily box office and movie attendance for two consecutive days.
Of course, this movie is actually a two-way achievement between actor and director.
I can only say that Zhang Yimou’s vision in casting is really bad. Every actor can firmly lock the audience’s attention as soon as they appear.
After all, this is " three teams ", "The Long Season" plus "Hurry Up", and even the supporting roles were popular for a while.
Even the leading troublemaker driver, who has only one line of dialogue, is also a classic supporting role candidate.
Although all the members of "Article 20" have familiar faces, netizens with great savvy still discovered that there is an actor who is not very familiar to them.
Zhang Yimou's son
has yellow hair and is following a group of drivers causing trouble. There are also two close-ups for no apparent reason.
Actually, while watching the movie, I felt a little strange. This person was obviously not a supporting character in the hit drama, but he still seemed familiar.
After flipping through the cast list, I discovered that this half-familiar actor was Zhang Yimou's son Zhang Yinan.
It’s no wonder that two close-ups were arranged for a role that could have been replaced by extras.
In fact, this is not the first time that Zhang Yinan has appeared in Zhang Yimou's movie.
In "Man Jiang Hong", he is the secretary who also only has one shot in the second half of the plot, and he is also given a close-up shot for no reason.
In fact, Zhang Yinan is positioned as a director like Zhang Yimou.
The 22-year-old has collaborated with another new director on the micro-film "Over There" and "Who Sung the First Spring Song".
is also certified as a "Young Director" on his personal social platform.
After graduating five years ago, it seemed that he was still keeping a low profile and had no real works to show off. Instead, he appeared as a guest star in his father's movie.
As for Zhang Yinan's sister, Zhang Mo, her career as a director is even more "dazzling", at least she has made a name for herself.
"Sniper", which she co-directed with Zhang Yimou, did not do well at the box office but had a good reputation.
's "28 Years Old Minor", which he directed alone, has not yet reached the passing mark on Douban.
later collaborated with the movie queen Zhang Xiaofei on " Rescue the Suspect", which also scored 5.8 on Douban which is not very impressive.
It seems that there is still a long way to go.
Among the many "star second generations" in domestic entertainment, the one I admire the most is Wang Xiao -
Wang Xiao who doesn't retaliate when scolded
is handsome in another realm
Who would have thought that a star would During the road show, he was also "screamed at" by the audience on the spot. After the
movie was screened, Wang Xiao interacted with the audience as usual. He was telling interesting stories about himself and the Nanjing driver, but suddenly an audience member broke in and loudly accused Wang Xiao.
It turned out that the theater did not reserve time for the road show, and the audience for the next movie had been waiting at the door for almost twenty minutes.
Wang Xiao, who didn't know the situation, was still telling stories endlessly. The others couldn't stand it and just came in and opened the door and shouted.
originally wanted to ignore her, but the more she scolded her, the more unpleasant the curse became. The host immediately came on stage to end the scene. Wang Xiao could only stand there awkwardly, holding the microphone tightly and saying nothing.
In my opinion, this "fifth-tier actor" in the audience's mouth has already reached another level of handsomeness when he refuses to retaliate. The so-called "five lines" of
were also worked hard by Wang Xiao bit by bit.
He could have worn the crown of Star II and stood on the front line in the world of capital with his strength, but he had to start from scratch and make his way through his own charm.
Is Wang Xiao popular? Judging from the fact that
is now a household name, it is actually quite popular. After all, he can always appear in high-reputation works.
In the main drama, he can be Bai Xiaowu in "White Deer Plain", Shen Guangshun in "Itinerant Inspection Team", Lu Jie in "Meritorious Service" and Qiao Shengli in "County Party Committee Courtyard".
In the urban drama, he can appear with a completely different image.
In "Golden Years", Wang Xiao is a bold and righteous elite man in a suit and leather shoes. In "Our Marriage", he is a contrasting workplace veteran who appears to be straight but is actually "strictly controlled by his wife".
There is also Sun Zhijun in "With You in This Life". He drinks and fights and is a fool, but this man is infatuated and upright.
In fact, it is not accidental that Wang Xiao is popular.
He doesn’t have an eye-catching appearance. Off-screen, he seems to be standing among the crowd without being noticed at a glance.
But he can use similar shapes to create completely different characters, and he can leave a very deep impression on the audience without overshadowing the main role.
Because he can perfectly control various themes and roles. The most amazing thing is that he can create sparks no matter what kind of actor he interacts with.
In the ancient puppet dramas "Three Lives Three Worlds Ten Miles of Peach Blossom" and "Three Lives Three Worlds: The Pillow Book", he matches well with popular actresses, and his appearance is not eye-catching but also funny.
There is no sense of inconsistency with Ni Ni and Liu Shishi, and the various 85 flowers, and the details of each interaction are very reasonable.
There are also Li Xiaoran, Gao Ye and Li Yitong. These actresses are completely different in age and character, and they even take different routes.
When he appears in the same frame as Wang Xiao, he always has a CP feel.
actor not to mention.
There is a film called "Kurst" and a movie version of "Team Three". They are all in the style of criminal investigation, and the styles of the era are quite different.
Wang Xiao even collaborated with Zhang Yi, but as soon as Wang Xiao appeared on the scene, the temperament of the character Yang Jian was already very different.
Narcotics police and criminal police can also perform completely different effects. Who would not be amazed by this ability.
Conclusion
There are quite a few second-generation stars who are active in the entertainment industry today.
For example, Wu Gang's son, Yan Ni's daughter, Chen Baoguo's son, Chen Kaige's son, etc.
These second-generation celebrities always get good resources, whether they are CCTV dramas or prime-time blockbusters, but their performance is often like "a mouse droppings ruins a pot of porridge."
In fact, the audience is not biased against the three words "Star II".
is an actor in everyone's eyes. As long as he has the ability and can grasp the characters well, the audience doesn't care who his daughter or son is.
But there are people who rely on their star power to get resources that are not allocated, which affects the perception of the entire drama. It is simply ridiculous to be able to get resources.
Abandoning the halo, the 45-year-old Wang Xiao still enjoys playing various supporting roles. It is no wonder that he has been favored by Zhang Yimou.
I think it’s time for Wang Xiao to become popular.
