This year's Spring Festival will keep all the major directors busy.
On the eve of the Spring Festival, eight films rushed to promote their landing on the Spring Festival file, but now four films have announced their withdrawal, and even the highly anticipated movie starring Andy Lau has failed to withstand the box office pressure.
At present, in the field of live-action films, only the works of Shen Teng, Ma Li and Jia Ling, who are happy twist, are worth looking forward to, plus an animated film "Bear Infested Reversing Time and Space" has a stable performance, and this year's word-of-mouth and box office are gratifying.
Shen Teng and Jia Ling continued to star in three live-action films in the same old way, one of which was a sequel, and the other once again showed the talent of female directors, while Ma Li was different from them.
This year, he cooperated with Zhang Yimou to direct the film "Article 20", and the content of the film has both depth and connotation, as well as humorous jokes. In just 8 days, it set a box office record of 1.3 billion.
Although the film may be lacking in some aspects compared to several others, Zhang Yimou's directing skills are superior. Zhao Liying brilliantly interpreted the role of "village woman", both in terms of acting skills and image, full of simple and natural atmosphere.
There is no harm if there is no comparison, put Zhao Liying, Gong Li and Li Qin, the three "village woman" actors together, who can be skilled?
Director Zhang Yimou has been unmatched in handling details since he started making films.
Hao Xiuping's home played by Zhao Liying, whether indoor or outdoor, reveals the word "poor".
I was captivated by the sight of the outside at the door.
The door frame is hung with trembling Spring Festival couplets and blessing characters, and the broken green wooden door of the glass can pass through the hole at any time, and it may fall down at any time, which is dangerous.
The exterior walls are covered with red, white, and black paint with the words "pay back" written on them, layer upon layer. Looking at these alone, one would mistakenly think that this place is inhabited by a burly and extremely vicious middle-aged man with a thick beard.
After understanding the background, I learned that the fate of this family was the opposite, because the child was sick and had to borrow money for treatment, and the words on the wall were written by the bullies.
As a rural woman, Zhao Liying is not only from a poor family, but also a hearing-impaired person, and her financial situation makes everyone who visits sweat.
When you step inside, even through the screen, you can feel a strong smell of staleness, and the clothes and furniture look shabby.
However, with appearance skills alone, anyone can do it with a little more effort, and to really break the ice, you need to look at acting.
When the actor plays the deaf and mute, language art is no longer a weapon for extra points, and Zhao Liying successfully shows the image of a rural woman who loves her daughter with her actions alone.
With her hair unkempt and her face haggard, she knelt in front of a person without hesitation. Zhao Liying, who was once famous for costume dramas, no longer relied on beauty and lines this time, only relying on expressions and movements, frowning, and tears in her eyes, which is long gone.
When she was forced to jump off the rooftop, her fate swayed like fluttering hair, struggling in the world, which shocked me again by Zhao Liying's acting skills.
Even Gao Ye mentioned in a later interview that Zhao Liying remained silent on the set and kept entering Hao Xiuping's state.
Her level of dedication is admirable, and it is precisely because of her in-depth study of the script that she can present a wonderful "village woman" performance, which not only vividly shows the external image, but also vividly interprets the inner emotions.
This time, Zhao Liying is closer to the level of a powerful actor.
To play the role of a village woman, you can't fail to mention Gong Li, who represents the image of a village woman.
Although the two films are not of the same era, the role of Qiu Ju played by Gong Li in "Qiu Ju's Lawsuit", like other works, can show emotions well, allowing the audience to deeply experience the inner world of the character.
The combination of red and green, I am afraid that only the women in the village will choose, such a dress from the appearance left a deep impression on the audience.
Next, Gong Li began to use her acting skills to exert her strength, the heavy bangs hung down on her head, and the word "strong" was revealed in her eyes.
Gong Li's performances are always lifelike, and the image of the village woman she plays is vivid, and although she has limited knowledge of the role she plays, her stubborn personality does look a little funny. However, to this day, her acting skills are still regarded as the highest level of the palace.
If some of the village women perform well, there will inevitably be those who do not perform well.
Since the broadcast, Liu Qiaozhen, a village woman played by Li Qin, has been criticized, and even still is.
Her makeup is unobstructed at a glance, indescribable, and the bangs on her forehead can be seen that the crew wanted to create the effect of natural volumes, but it was unsuccessful, and netizens commented: "Like Teddy", "Bombarded" and so on.
Li Qin is slender and petite, and she plays the heroine in a costume drama just right, if she wants to play different types of roles, she will look clumsy and be made fun of if she does not have enough acting skills.
She was full of smiles, undisguised, showing neat big white teeth, and showing them in front of the camera with a brush up and down, as if she intended to amuse the audience.
Because of her petite figure, she took off the placket of her ancient costume and put on ordinary clothes, which made her look even more petite and weak, and her face was ruddy and black.
Neither the appearance nor the performance can hide the feeling of silliness, and every movement shows excessive force, and the audience can even see the traces of it at a glance.
Qiaozhen, a village woman played by Li Qin, is a beautiful country girl who has a soft spot for Gao Jialin and shows selfless dedication, but when she performs it, she frequently squeezes her eyebrows, which makes people feel very unnatural.
In costume dramas, such a performance may be praised as handsome, but in this kind of play, her old-fashioned acting skills seem very out of place and very embarrassing.
In playing the role of a village woman, many actors have been involved, but only Zhao Liying and Gong Li can stand out, while Li Qin has been ridiculed by the group.
The reason for these two very different results is not only the difference in makeup, but also the level of performance between the three actors.
The performances of the first two are very real and can move the audience more profoundly, while the latter does not grasp the proportions of the characters very well.
Zhao Liying left a deep impression on the audience in this year's Spring Festival, she successfully challenged the role of a village woman, and let people have a new understanding of her. I hope she will continue to present us with more surprising performances in the future.
