This year's Spring Festival, the film market can be described as ups and downs. In addition to the popular films "Hot and Hot", "Flying Life 2", "Bear Infested: Reversing Time and Space" and "Article 20", other films have been withdrawn. "Article 20" performed particularly badly at the box office, with only 10 days of release and a box office of only 1.5 billion, far behind other films. However, the box office champion has not yet settled.
Although "Article 20" only has a 25% film scheduling rate, it topped the Japanese box office with the highest box office share. If this momentum can continue, it may become a dark horse for the Spring Festival. Director Zhang Yimou has made great contributions, and the all-star lineup in the movie is the highlight.
Lei Jiayin won the audience with her natural and appropriate performances and humorous jokes, while Ma Li stood out with her comedic performances. Although the prosecutor played by Gao Ye is different from the character in "Hurricane", he is just as good. Zhao Liying challenged the role of the deaf and mute and showed excellent acting skills. Fan Wei's outstanding performance is also worth mentioning, and Zhang Yi's stable acting skills add a lot of points to the film.
However, the female number five played by Xu Jingya became the failure of the film. Her acting skills are stiff, which is difficult to resonate with the audience, and even destroys the atmosphere of the early plot. She failed to express the emotions of the characters realistically, which made people feel embarrassed. Such casting may be Zhang Yimou's mistake this time, and the audience is likely to feel like a drama when they see the female No. 5 appear.
Perhaps, this is a failure in character building, or it is due to the limitations of an actor. But whatever the reason, the performance of the female number five has become a failure that cannot be ignored in the movie "Article 20".
We hope that in future works, the female number 5 can reflect on and improve her acting skills, and present more wonderful performances to the audience. After all, the actor's performance is an indispensable part of the movie, and a good actor can add luster to the whole story and make ** forget to return.
