Every year, the Spring Festival stalls are the time of battle for major movies, and this year's most anticipated ones are Jia Ling's "Hot and Hot" and Zhang Yimou's "Article 20".
For "Hot and Hot", the audience has high hopes.
is not only because Jia Ling gave up a year's work and gave up a year's **, but also because Jia Ling lost 100 pounds for this movie.
On the eve of the movie's release, "Hot and Hot" focused on Jia Ling's weight rather than the plot.
Even though the box office is very high today, it is far inferior to "Article 20", which has almost zero negative reviews.
And "Article 20" now has a box office of 21 2024 Spring Festival stalls of 100 million, I have to say that as soon as the national teacher Zhang Yimou makes a move, it is Wang Zhan's work.
From "Man Jianghong" to "Article 20", Zhang Yimou is keen to shoot all kinds of movies, giving the audience a different viewing experience, leading everyone to immerse themselves in a new world, so as to gain new insights.
Article 20 tells a total of three lines, corresponding to three stories, among which the story of Hao Xiuping, a deaf and mute mother played by Zhao Liying, is particularly distressing.
For this role, Zhao Liying has her own ideas, and Hao Xiuping in the original script is not deaf and mute.
And Zhao Liying called Zhang Yimou after reading the script: Why can't Hao Xiuping also be deaf and mute? ”
This question made Zhang Yimou enlightened, and at the same time changed the setting of this character to be deaf and mute.
Just when other actresses are still appearing in ancient puppets and pouting cutely, Zhao Liying will already make it difficult for herself.
The setting of the deaf and mute not only means that Zhao Liying has to perform without lines, but also needs to learn a lot of sign language, and at the same time, the transmission of emotions has to be progressive, which is undoubtedly a huge challenge.
But when they saw Zhao Liying in the theater, the audience already knew that she had done it.
Hao Xiuping's daughter was seriously ill, and in order to treat her daughter, Hao Xiuping's family had to borrow money from Liu Wenjing, a bully in the village, and this loan was out of control.
The serious usury made Hao Xiuping's family have no ability to repay at all, and because of this, Liu Wenjing began to use his power to bully Hao Xiuping's family.
Hao Xiuping's mother and daughter are both deaf and mute, and they have no ability to fight back in the face of Liu Wenjing's bullying.
Even so, Liu Wenjing still did not let go of Hao Xiuping, and subjected her to inhumane **.
At that time, Hao Xiuping's husband Wang Yongqiang was being chained to the door by Liu Wenjing and was extremely insulted.
Later, Liu Wenjing forced Wang Yongqiang to sign the divorce agreement between the two, and promised that as long as Hao Xiuping followed him, the debt between the two would be written off.
But Wang Yongqiang, who was arrogant, would never agree to such a treaty, and this completely angered Liu Wenjing.
The furious Liu Wenjing said that every time he violated Hao Xiuping in the future, he would reach 200, and Wang Yongqiang would be chained to the door of the house, and he would reach 100 each time.
After being insulted, Hao Xiuping walked out of the door, her clothes had been torn to shreds, her hair was messy, her body was densely covered with traces of humiliation, and the eye-catching slap on her face was shocking.
Hao Xiuping cried heartbreakingly, and the intermittent sign language was "I want to die".
The picture is silent but deafening, and the audience twitches in their hearts.
In the end, Wang Yongqiang finally couldn't accept Liu Wenjing's evil deeds, picked up the scissors tremblingly, and firmly inserted Liu Wenjing again and again, and the audience who watched this scene applauded.
The best comedy core must be tragedy, even if the bad guys are punished at the end of the film, and the good guys are duly respected, but the difficulties in the process have been unforgettable.
Hao Xiuping is undoubtedly strong, her husband is in prison, and she is wandering around with her children alone, lonely and helpless, but she is still vibrant.
But she is also pitiful, she was violated by Liu Wenjing many times but couldn't do anything, and countless people cried when she expressed that I wanted to die with tears in her eyes.
It has been six years since Zhao Liying's last movie, from the king of the daughter country to Hao Xiuping today, Zhao Liying's acting skills are already at the next level!
