**Wan Fan Incentive Plan It is no exaggeration to say that the 2024 Spring Festival stalls can be called a new chapter in the history of domestic film box office. I don't just want to say that the comedy atmosphere of this Spring Festival file is particularly strong.
Of course, it cannot be asserted that Jia Ling can reach the directorial status of 10 billion box office with two movies.
The Spring Festival stalls are no longer the world of male actors, this year, "Hot and Hot" has exceeded 2 billion box office with the outstanding performance of actresses, and it is almost certain to become the box office champion of this Spring Festival stall.
Article 20" successfully rose to third place by virtue of the strength of the counterattack on "Bear Infested", and the box office continued to decline, and the prospects are promising. Although the film is a standard group drama, the wonderful performances of actresses such as Zhao Liying, Ma Li, and Gao Ye are indispensable.
In this year's Spring Festival, the actress proved her worth with excellent box office results. Although there is no shortage of excellent actresses in domestic entertainment, in the film market, they are often ignored and only regarded as a foil for male actors.
However, when the actresses took the lead in the Spring Festival movies, we saw their unique charm, and the audience began to fall in love with their performances. The Spring Festival stalls have become a stage for powerful actresses in domestic entertainment to show themselves and compete with each other.
This Spring Festival, which actress's performance makes your eyes shine? I carefully selected the 8 actresses with the best acting skills in my heart, and let's take a look at their amazing performances in the Spring Festival stalls where the gods fought.
Although the rankings are in order, this wonderful Spring Festival stall belongs to all the outstanding actresses. Eighth place: Li Xueqin "Hot and Hot" Li Xueqin's biggest breakthrough in this play is that she successfully broke her inherent image as a comedian, allowing us to see the infinite possibilities of an actress.
The first time I noticed Li Xueqin's acting skills was in last year's comedy dark horse "Keep You Safe". Li Xueqin brought her own laughter as soon as she appeared on the stage, and she was the kind of natural comedian.
In "Hot and Hot", Jia Ling poured a lot of energy into inspirational dramas, and the funny task naturally fell on the shoulders of her and Qiao Shan. Especially the enemy honey played by Li Xueqin, the moment Le Ying saw the chat record on her mobile phone, Li Xueqin knelt down in an instant with an exaggerated gesture of duang, full of laughter.
And the lingering scene with Qiao Shan is full of charming little eyes, which is irresistible. In addition, Jia Ling also skillfully portrayed Li Xueqin as an ordinary but somewhat good-looking best friend, snatched your boyfriend, and invited you to be a bridesmaid, this kind of persuasion is undoubtedly enough.
In short, "Hot and Hot" is still full of laughter and emotion, and it is worth watching.
In our comedy films, it's not uncommon for a little selfish and cowardly character like Lily to be seen, but Li Xueqin has made the character layered through her excellent interpretation. We should praise her acting skills and let the pure "bad woman" shine in the movie.
Finally, I would like to thank Lin Xilei for her wonderful performance in "Mr. Red Carpet", although the visibility of this movie during the Spring Festival is not high, and the box office did not break 100 million, her acting skills deserve our attention.
Liu Weichi's ex-wife's performance in "Mr. Red Carpet" can be called a highlight of Lin Xilei's comeback. Although the role has limited space to play, Lin Xilei still perfectly shows the feeling of marital exhaustion with accurate acting skills.
Especially in the opening line: "Don't let it be public when you get married, and you won't make it public when you divorce?" "It's memorable. Lin Xilei also revealed that the kiss scene with Andy Lau in "Gambler vs. Las Vegas" was her first kiss in the industry.
At the turn of the century, as the goddess of Hong Kong films, she had a unique charm and **, which made people appreciate her unique beauty under the lens of Wang Jing.
In the movie "Flowers", she made her finale appearance, playing the role of Lin Tai, a wealthy Taiwanese businessman, and it was this character who became the key decider of the final business war.
Lin Xilei's face is like a story on a small screen under Wong Kar-wai's training, full of vitality and a sense of story. In contrast, Ning Hao is not good at photographing women's beauty.
However, under the tempering of the years, Zhang Xiaofei used her mature beauty to create a comedy character full of irony, as if telling the ups and downs of the Hong Kong film era.
The audience expects her to perform more of these characters.
Old domestic films, especially Spring Festival movies, often portray female characters in a single way, either a beautiful vase, a femme fatale, or an image of the Virgin of selfless dedication.
However, Zhang Xiaofei's role in the movie "Hello, Li Huanying" Le Ying's sister Le Dan broke this stereotype. The details of Le Ying's life make people feel that she often shows the "evil" of the world in her daily life, such as mocking Le Ying every time they meet.
The trigger for Le Ying to leave home was that the more she talked at the dinner table, the more ugly she became, which directly led to a mutual fight. Although in the end, the sisters completely tore their faces, Le Ying's contribution to this family cannot be ignored.
In order to provide for the children to go to school, Le Ying is willing to transfer the house under her name, and she feels that this is a matter of course, as if Le Ying is the one who should pay. However, Le Ying decided to chase her dream, which made the people around her laugh at her for being "sick", until she successfully pursued her dream, and these people were so jealous that they couldn't speak.
Jia Ling showed great determination in this role, she did not let the role have any reversal, and it was bad to the end. Although this role is very annoying, Zhang Xiaofei in "Hot and Hot" let the audience see her excellent plasticity with this bad woman role.
In the group drama "Article 20", Gao Ye, as a supporting actress, is not easy to stand out.
Zhang Yimou's appeal is unmatched, this film brings together half of the outstanding actors in the mainland entertainment industry, and the supporting roles also have their own strong expressiveness. For example, the bus driver played by Yang Haoyu uses unique black humor to deduce the teaching director who hates personality, and the village chief behind the evil forces played by Fan Wei.
The film got 7A high score of 8, thanks to a perfect group performance. And the role of Lu Lingling is a test of acting skills, as the host female prosecutor, she is under pressure from all sides to find evidence to determine legitimate defense, which makes people think that she is unlikable, can't be a person, and if she doesn't play well, she is easy to become a self-righteous and inflexible stereotyped role.
With his superb acting skills, Gao Ye created a character who held his breath to succeed. She even deduced a chivalrous spirit. In the movie, the key evidence of the mute couple, Liu Wenjing's knife, is lost, and despite facing suspicion and criticism from superiors, other departments, and even colleagues, she still insists on finding out the truth for the person who was bullied, and finally pays the price for her career.
But she said firmly: "Yes, there is a price to be paid for doing the right thing." ”
Zhang Yimou's "Article 20" can be called one of the most successful female character portrayals in recent years, and each character has a unique brilliance and weight. While Lei Jiayin's role ultimately came to fruition on the surface, the outcome could have been very different without the tenacious female prosecutor.
Recalling her stubborn eyes, confused expression and firm tone in the film, I am convinced that Gao Ye has successfully escaped the shackles of her sister-in-law with this role. Although "Let's Shake the Sun Together" has withdrawn from the Spring Festival file, it has a Douban score of 7The positive reviews of 9 are a testament to Xu Fan's excellent performance in this film.
Choosing Xu Fan as the representative of the acting school does not mean that the other two leading actors have bad acting skills.
Xu Fan's acting skills are outstanding, and he expresses the emotions of the characters vividly, as if burning with the enthusiasm of life. In addition, Li Gengxi's natural makeup, body elimination and dull atmosphere, as well as her best acting skills, are impressive.
The chemistry between the two young actors is outstanding, resulting in a shocking explosiveness.
The moment she played Lu Tu's mother appeared, she surprised me, because this character is completely different from the image of the patient's family in previous similar works, she is lively and cheerful, and like her unreliable son, she completely regards home as her own place.
In the scene where she helps the heroine take a bath, the real life dialogue and smooth and natural movements make the whole theater laugh. This unexpected character setting and vivid sense of joy in life add a bit of joyful atmosphere to the originally heavy plot.
Ma Li "Article 20" In Zhang Yimou's movie "Article 20", the most outstanding actress is Ma Li. The film is a sight to behold with its clever blend of comedy, family, and social issues. ”
Comedy is the skin, reality is the bone, and finally falls on the pursuit of fairness and justice. If someone else takes over, there is a high probability that it will fail. Because it is too comprehensive, it is easy to lose bias. Miraculously, Zhang Yimou successfully solved this problem with his profound skills.
The key to the success of this play lies in the stability of the stage and the logic of the story, and the actors' performances can be played freely, but they must be seamless and there can be no shortcomings.
It's like a relay race on a narrow track, which needs to be funny, resonate with the audience, and finally put the finishing touch, and no link can be missed.
Of the three actresses, Gao Ye is the first stick and is responsible for leading the plot, Zhao Liying is the last stick to put the finishing touch, and Ma Li is in the middle, playing a key role.
Her role is to make the audience spend their time watching the movie with laughter. If she misses, the film can't last until the end, the audience's hearts will disperse, and the story will become difficult to tell.
Mary successfully accomplished this mission. Lei Jiayin and Chen Minghao are outstanding and powerful actors, but they are not comedians. However, as long as Ma Li is present, it can cause countless laughs, whether it is the daily bickering between husband and wife, or Chen Minghao's gags, the small talk of the three people makes people laugh.
The same line, without Ma Li, I can't imagine such a strong comedic effect.
Ma Li is an essential element of "Article 20", without her, the whole play would be much inferior. Her acting style is unique, subtly incorporating comedic elements into her characters to make people laugh out loud without feeling embarrassed.
Her language charm, an ordinary sentence coming out of her mouth, can be turned into a funny joke.
With her unique charm, Ma Li has successfully created a character image of motherly love. And under the backdrop of Zhang Yi's bastard father image, her acting skills have reached the peak.
The battle of wits and courage between the two makes every family scene full of tension and joy, which makes people laugh. And Ma Li's final victory pushed the whole comedy to a climax.
Zhang Yi has created countless vivid roles in his acting career for many years, but he has never been portrayed so embarrassed, which is due to Ma Li's unique comedy talent. In the seemingly ordinary script, she played the role interestingly with the cuteness of life, and became an indispensable laughing point.
Jia Ling is undoubtedly the biggest winner of this year's Spring Festival, and her "Hot and Hot" box office has been rising, winning the global distribution rights, and Sony Pictures favors her.
Jia Ling's era is quietly coming, and she is leading Chinese cinema to new heights.
There are two directors in the Chinese film industry who know the audience best, Chen Sicheng and Jia Ling. is not only the director, but Jia Ling's actress performance in the movie "Hot and Hot" is also very good.
If you use three words to describe this movie, it is "joy", the first half of the film revolves around the daily life of the heroine Le Ying and the male protagonist Haokun, Jia Ling cleverly adds a lot of humorous elements, which makes people laugh.
Although it is painful, the burning Le Ying is even more dazzling. In the movie, Le Ying attempted suicide after suffering a storm, crying in front of the mirror: "It hurts, but there is no wound at all", which is both funny and deeply touching.
With pain and hatred, Le Ying's character counterattack has become more intense and exciting. In the second half of the film, Le Ying suffers a series of blows, but the long-term numbness is awakened by the pain, and she decides to practice boxing and participate in competitions, igniting new hope and fighting spirit.
At this stage, Le Ying and Jia Ling have become one. In the movie, day and night, sunny and rainy, Le Ying is constantly running and waving her fists. And Jia Ling, who is outside the camera, also practiced day and night, and successfully lost 100 pounds.
In the end, Jia Ling completed her transformation, and Le Ying stepped into the boxing ring. In order to close the boxing match, Jia Ling chose a long lens to shoot and found a professional athlete who has practiced boxing for 13 years as an opponent.
Jia Ling once again showed amazing strength in this real boxing match. The biggest charm of her films is the deep resonance that sincerity brings. This is also why the role of Le Ying can make the audience truly feel her strong emotional performance and firm belief.
Jia Ling's acting skills go beyond the story itself, which is the key to her conquering the audience**. To be honest, if it weren't for Zhao Liying's performance in "Article 20" that made me feel the shock of Nirvana's rebirth, I would not hesitate to give this first position to Jia Ling.
First place: Zhao Liying "Article 20" In fact, Zhao Liying is not only the leader in the acting skills of actresses during the Spring Festival, but also the leader among all actors. As I said before, "Article 20" is a textbook for acting skills in domestic film group dramas in 2024, and there are really many good actors.
However, Zhao Liying is the finishing touch that makes the whole movie shine.
Zhao Liying injected tenacity into the character and created a female image that does not succumb to fate. In the original premise of the script, the daughter is deaf and mute, while the mother is not.
However, after in-depth study of the script, Zhao Liying made a suggestion to Zhang Yimou: Since her daughter is deaf and mute, why shouldn't her mother too? After careful consideration, Zhang Yimou immediately accepted this suggestion.
However, this poses a huge challenge to the film and Zhao Liying: how to perform the rich emotional changes and emotional ups and downs of a deaf-mute mother?
Only accurate and attentive performances can attract the audience to the story. Zhang Yimou said that his cooperation with Zhao Liying was a surprise. He would see Zhao Liying every day when he went to the set, and she wore earplugs as soon as she entered the set, did not communicate with anyone, and experienced the life of a deaf and mute.
Her performance is amazing, there is not a single line in the whole film, and she conquers everyone with her eyes, body and crying scenes. This character is not only a mother who has been bullied, but also a tenacious, brave, and extremely intelligent martyr.
I was blown away three times by Zhao Liying's performance. The first time was when she tenaciously kept her sanity and bravely jumped off the cliff for her family under the ** of the village bully Liu Wenjing.
With tears on her face and torn clothes, she stood silently at the door of her house, her heart full of despair. She turned her back to her husband, and the silent shock was unforgettable.
The second time, she handed over her daughter to Li Maojuan and went to Dayong herself to find Liu Wenjing's knife. But the village bully found her one step earlier than Han Ming and forced her to sign the agreement.
Knowing that her daughter had disappeared, she was completely emotionally broken and uncontrollable.
In this video, although Zhao Liying opened her mouth wide, she couldn't say a word, and could only use all her strength to express it in sign language, eagerly asking about the whereabouts of Han Ming and Lu Lingling's daughter.
Although there are no lines, the complex emotions such as guilt, despair, and helplessness in the characters' hearts deeply touch every audience and make them empathize. The most shocking acting scene appeared in the rooftop jumping scene, Hao Xiuping, played by Zhao Liying, ran onto the roof of the construction site, ready to die.
In just one scene, Zhao Liying perfectly performed the triple reversal. The first is despair.
Her heart was full of helplessness and pain, and she rushed to the roof alone, leaving only the thought of life and death. At this moment, the audience's mood was also like sinking into the abyss. However, it was at this moment of despair that Han Ming's arrival brought hope.
He assured her that her husband could be released early by going too far in defense, which gave her some comfort.
At that moment, the picture of Zhao Liying and Lei Jiayin clasping hands with tears deeply conveyed a glimmer of hope in despair, and that strong impact still makes me feel palpitations to this day.
The third part is about the cherishing of life. Hao Xiuping, who was standing on the rooftop, finally understood that only by sacrificing herself could her daughter be truly safe. Moreover, only her sacrifice can help her husband to the greatest extent.
So, with all her strength, she expressed her last words in sign language, her eyes were firm, and then she resolutely jumped forward.
At that moment, Zhao Liying conquered the entire theater with the deepest maternal love and the most shocking acting tension. At first, the theater was silent, and the audience was so blown away by her performance that some people couldn't react, and then a sobbing sound.
As mentioned earlier, Zhao Liying plays a smart martyr in ice and snow, and her sacrifice becomes the key to solving the case. The suicide of this mother caused a greater sensation and greater attention from his superiors, which provided Han Mingcai with the courage to do things, and also gave him the opportunity to give a passionate speech at the end.
This hearing-impaired mother was unable to protect her daughter or save her husband, but she declared war on the wicked with her life. This role completely subverted my impression of Zhao Liying, and her acting potential may not have been fully exploited in ancient and modern puppet dramas in the past.
Under the guidance of Lao Mouzi, her performance potential is like a volcanic eruption, which is wonderful. The actor's full dedication is a sign of respect for the audience. She extracts the power of maternal love from the bits and pieces of life, and touches people's hearts through real and shocking performances.
In the end, these 8 actresses all had excellent performances during the Spring Festival. They have powerful people who have debuted in idol dramas, up-and-coming rookies, and old actors who have been in the entertainment industry for many years.
No matter their age or experience, they all go all out and conquer the audience with their superb acting skills.
Since 2000, when "Hero" led the trend of commercial films, the film market has gradually become commercialized, and the status of film actresses has gradually declined in the process.
In the past, the domestic entertainment film market preferred special effects blockbusters, action movies and crime films, while emotional themes, which women are better at, were not popular. Our screens seem to only be willing to show young and beautiful faces, and lack rich and diverse female characters, so many excellent actresses have been neglected for a long time.
The market is changing rapidly, and when in-depth movies such as "Article 20" and "Hot and Hot" appeared, the audience was shocked to realize that we are not lacking excellent actresses like Zhao Liying, but we need more stories to carry them, dig deeper into their roles, and accept their existence in the market.
In the Spring Festival stalls of 2024, the actresses have achieved a brilliant victory. However, I expect this to be just the beginning of a new story.
