"When the Mountain Flowers Are Blooming" has a huge reputation.

Having learned from the past experience of the film version, the creation of the drama version is so touching, and it can be seen that the crew listened carefully.

Looking through the comments, it is not difficult to find that the two most mentioned words in the audience's evaluation of this CCTV drama are "truth".

Looking at the plot, it not only restores the life difficulties of Dashan girls in reality, but also restores a group of people who worked hard to establish a free female high school. These details are the source of the sense of reality for the audience.

Looking at the casting, every actor fit the role very well and contributed an extremely wonderful performance. A group of actors fully performed the helplessness of life in the mountains and the longing for the future.

However, the most surprising actor among them has to be - the female lead, Song Jia.

Song Jia subverted her image and was recognized for her acting skills

"When the Mountain Flowers Are Blooming" is adapted from the real deeds of Principal Zhang Guimei.

The key to this biographical film and television work gaining a solid reputation is which actor can play the role of Principal Zhang Guimei so that the audience can be convinced and respect the prototype character.

The director handed over this drudgery to Song Jia.

Jewelry comes first. Although the movie version of "I am a Mountain" has a bad reputation, the principal Zhang Guimei played by Hai Qing has both physical and mental qualities, and there is no fault in her acting skills and image.

But the difference in appearance between Song Jia and Principal Zhang Guimei is so big that the audience will inevitably question it.

The moment she appeared, the audience realized that resemblance in spirit was more important than resemblance in appearance.

When a student was locked in a room by his alcoholic father and beaten violently, Zhang Guimei, played by Song Jia, rushed inside and stood in front of the student. She was greeted by angry eyes.

took the student and left, decisively without a trace of hesitation. Song Jia easily completed the character creation with her eyes and a graceful leaving action.

While eating in a small restaurant, Zhang Guimei saw the girl who was forced to drop out of school doing her homework while serving food. She raised her eyes quite dramatically, as if she could see the character's heart being gradually touched.

In the end, Zhang Guimei couldn't stand the behavior of the girl's father, so she said a Northeastern dialect: Oh, don't keep greeting her, just go back and forth!

Through Song Jia's performance, the audience can see that the character Zhang Guimei has compassion and responsibility, and also has an impatience hidden in her bones.

Especially the scene where Zhang Guimei speaks at the Congress as a party representative pushed the plot to a new climax.

She quietly told the tragic fate of girls in the mountains, without any cadence in her speech. She just stood there, clutching her trouser legs unconsciously because of nervousness, and her voice was choked with sobs.

Song Jia calmly performed a feeling of being at a loss, but in the end she was ignited with hope. The tension in her eyes turned into longing and belief, which shocked people.

The audience seems to be able to see through Song Jia's performance the uncompromising life of Principal Zhang Guimei fighting for the girls in the mountains.

Song Jia’s acting skills are so good.

More importantly, Song Jia is willing to sacrifice for the role.

Before, she gave the audience the impression of being fashionable, intellectual, and beautiful, but in "When the Mountain Flowers Are Blooming", the 43-year-old Song Jia challenged the role of the 50-year-old Zhang Guimei.

In the drama, she has a bare face. She even darkens her face to fit the role better. Her freckles, acne marks and nasolabial folds are all exposed in the camera. At first glance, she looks like a teacher who has experienced many vicissitudes of life.

When she put on shabby dark clothes and had the same short hair, she truly fully integrated into the character. Even if the appearance was not so similar, the audience felt the reality of the character.

It is no exaggeration to describe Principal Zhang Guimei played by Song Jia as "God restored".

Actresses fall into the trap of "pretending to be young", and their acting skills are eye-catching

In "When the Mountain Flowers Are Blooming", Song Jia not only has to act earthy, but also act old.

I think most actresses in domestic entertainment are not willing to put down their burdens to play this role. After all, there are many actresses in domestic entertainment who are similar to Song Jia or even older than her, and they are still playing young girls.

For example, Zhang Ziyi.

"Shangyang Fu" is the first TV series for international movie queen Zhang Ziyi to "descend to the earth", and the audience is full of curiosity about this drama.

However, as soon as the series started airing, the audience was confused. Zhang Ziyi, who was already 39 years old at the time, was to play the role of the 15-year-old girl Wang Yan in the series.

Although she is indeed younger than her peers, it is still too far-fetched to play a girl.

In the drama, her cheek muscles are obviously drooping. Even with thick skin peeling, you can vaguely see Zhang Ziyi's droopy eye bags and dark circles. She doesn't have the aura of a girl at all, only her face is full of exhaustion.

When the camera is shown to the side of the face, the depressions in the eye sockets are more obvious. At first glance, she looks like a "girl" of quite a young age.

chose a role that was not suitable for her, and Zhang Ziyi’s acting skills became increasingly greasy. In order to pretend to be tender, she kept pouting and being cute, and acting coquettishly with the emperor’s uncle gave a sense of déjà vu as if a fatuous emperor was having a fight with his beloved concubine. The more he watched, the more embarrassed he became. .

Sure enough, even if Zhang Ziyi pretends to be cute, the audience will not buy it.

Another example is Liu Tao.

was known as the "national daughter-in-law" in the early years. Liu Tao became crazy in the married woman track and began to take the route of a girl.

When she was 42 years old, Liu Tao played the fifteen-year-old Liu E in "The Song Dynasty Palace Ci".

How do these sunken eye sockets and swollen apple muscles look like a fifteen-year-old girl? Mentality?

Even though the crew carefully adjusted the lighting and the teacher added various filters and hard work in the later stage, they could not save the fact that Liu Tao was already old.

The original nasolabial folds are like two black lines hanging on the face, which looks very old. Only people would believe that Liu Tao plays the mother of a 15-year-old girl.

Especially when Liu Tao and the male protagonist Zhou Yimin stand together, there is no cp feeling at all. Although Zhou Yimin is only three years younger than Liu Tao, his youthful feeling is not reduced at all. The two of them are in the same frame like an aunt and a nephew.

When I see this, I really want to ask: Did the director choose the role with his eyes closed?

There is also the leader of the "Girl Cult", Liu Xiaoqing.

3 is still not old. In interviews, he still said that he might be qualified for roles in his thirties or twenties.

If you look at what netizens say about her, Liu Xiaoqing cannot be so confident in saying this. Don't be too hard, let yourself go and let the audience go.

Conclusion:

3-year-old Song Jia broke away from the filter to play "Zhang Guimei", which made many "girls teach" actresses blush with embarrassment.

You can play any role at any age. It is a simple truth that some actresses just don't understand. Playing a young girl with an old face doesn't feel awkward for them, nor does it feel awkward for the audience.

Even if an actor's figure and face can maintain the condition of a girl, as time passes, people's eyes will change. No matter how good the image and acting skills are, they can't portray the innocence of a girl.

I hope domestic entertainment actresses will be as clear-headed as Song Jia, choose appropriate roles and scripts, and perform well in their respective roles.

Directors should also keep their eyes open and don’t ruin a drama because of casting.

So, what do you think of actresses pretending to be young?
