"Zhang Yimou once again proved to all audiences his extraordinary status in the film industry. His latest work, Article 20, set off a box office frenzy upon its release, which was not only a victory for the film itself, but also a blow to the entire industry. Investors may have been skeptical of the film, but they never imagined that the film would win the hearts and minds of the audience so quickly. With this film, Zhang Yimou once again proved his keen insight into the market, and successfully challenged many doubts and challenges. His success is not only the success of the film itself, but also a shock to the entire industry, making everyone re-examine his talent and vision. "
Although Article 20 is relatively bleak in the Spring Festival movies, compared with the highly anticipated works "Flying Life" and "Hot and Hot", it seems to lack some of the aura of director Zhang Yimou. However, this Chinese New Year film has achieved both word-of-mouth and box office success after its release, redefining people's expectations of it.
Different from traditional Spring Festival movies for family carnivals, "Article 20" is not the first choice for Spring Festival files with its unique theme. However, this unpopular choice brought a huge surprise after the release of the film, and at the same time once again verified the excellent vision of director Zhang Yimou.
The film's reputation has always maintained an excellent level, attracting many audiences to make a special trip to the cinema to watch it, defeating those critics who have been singing about it to the fullest. People have been unanimously acclaimed about the film, what is it that makes the audience talk so much? Will it be able to win the box office championship in the Spring Festival stalls?
Article 20" is a comedy film directed by Zhang Yimou, but the core contains profound positive energy, which arouses people's deep thinking. At the same time, the film brought together a group of outstanding actors, and director Zhang Yimou did not cultivate a new "Mou girl" again, but invited stars with a good reputation in the entertainment industry to join.
Before the release of the film, the film director carefully promoted Zhao Liying's performance clips, once again amazed the audience with her continuous improvement of superb acting skills. Although Zhao Liying has always shown her cute baby face and is more suitable for playing some sweet roles, this time she bravely challenged herself and brilliantly played a thin and deaf mother.
Although Zhao Liying's outstanding performance in the film was praised, it did not have a significant effect on the promotion of the film. Many fans were unhappy with her brief appearance. Some people feel that although the movie is set to be a comedy, it is deeply pathetic and not suitable for Chinese New Year viewing, even if the highly acclaimed comedian Ma Li joins to help. Although the actor Lei Jiayin's acting skills are good, he does not have enough appeal, and under the interweaving of many factors, the movie is seen as a worrying box office prospect.
However, the broadcast of the TV movie proves the power of the good actors to assemble and will surely present a wonderful work. The name of Article 20 is derived from the legal interpretation of Article 20 of the Criminal Law on justifiable self-defense, and the story revolves around this. The prosecutor Han Ming, played by Lei Jiayin, is involved in a case that haunts him, involving an honest villager Wang Yongqiang, who causes a bloody case because of a rebellion.
After learning about the case, how to treat Wang Yongqiang became Han Ming's confusion, which also caused a conflict between him and his partner Lu Lingling (Gao Ye).
Han Ming fell into chaos and had a headache. At the same time, his family was also caught in the whirlpool of trouble, because his son clashed with the son of the school leader because of his courage, which caused extreme dissatisfaction among the school leaders.
While dealing with this dispute, Han Ming's wife had a fierce conflict with the school leaders, and his son's future became bleak. This series of events prompted Han Ming to ponder the true meaning of legitimate defense.
This movie full of positive energy finally succeeds in solving all the problems, and justice triumphs over **. The audience got rid of the depression in their hearts after watching the movie, but fell into deep thinking.
The core idea that the film tries to convey is that when we are treated unfairly in our daily lives, when we want to resist but are worried about being hit harder, should we learn to use the law** to defend our rights and interests?
The delicate performances of the actors in the film immerse the audience, and as the plot develops, the audience either cries or laughs, resonating with the characters in the film.
Article 20" is a serious film that is difficult to shoot, but the experienced director Zhang Yimou successfully completed this difficult task. He cleverly inserted many interesting clips to make the audience smile when watching the movie, bringing a touch of relief to the dull plot.
And in terms of amusing the audience, Ma Li's role is indispensable. As a brilliant comedian, Ma Li knows how to interpret these hilarious scenes naturally and bring joy to the audience.
She plays a mother who loves her child deeply and wants her child to have a bright future, but at the same time does not want her child's dignity to be insulted. In the movie, Zhao Liying plays the role of Wang Yongqiang's wife Hao Xiuping, a hearing-impaired mother who is bullied and has a disabled daughter.
In order to conform to the image of the character, Zhao Liying completely changed her previous fair and beautiful appearance, in the movie, her hair is messy, her face is dark, and she looks thin and helpless, as if she will be blown down by the wind at any time.
The character of Hao Xiuping naturally aroused the audience's pity, making people forget that she was just a character who was interpreted, and felt that she was just like a real existence around us.
When Hao Xiuping stood on a tall building in despair, everyone who watched the movie was scared, hoping that this kind person could be safe.
Zhao Liying's perfect interpretation of the role made the audience really feel the charm of this role, which is why this role is so fascinating.
Another interesting thing about this movie is that there are many familiar faces in the play, and the supporting characters make a strong impression.
For example, Li Hongwei, an unlucky guy who was killed by a frozen fish in "Hurricane", played the village bully who hurt Wang Yongqiang's family this time. As soon as his character appears, he feels like a complete villain, and everyone is very happy about his death, which is the unique charm of this character.
There are many actors who have participated in "Hurricane" in the movie. Gao Ye plays Lu Lingling in the play, who was the glamorous and moving gangster sister-in-law. And Zhang Yi played the role of An Xin, the only pure white jasmine in Jinghai, a school leader who bullied others with his power. Although he played the role of a villain this time, Zhang Yi's performance was still breathtaking. After seeing these familiar faces, the audience couldn't help but sigh at director Zhang Yimou's vision, and each actor fits the role seamlessly.
Mr. Zhang Yimou is 76 years old, but he still strives for perfection and dedication when shooting movies, and strives to create excellent works. Even in addition to making movies, Mr. Zhang also participated in the design of the Spring Festival Gala dance program "Unique", which is indeed a model in the industry. It is worth mentioning that the competition in this Spring Festival file is fierce, and the movies in the same schedule are also very good, each with its own characteristics.
Previously, expectations for Article 20 were not high. Many people think that it will not become a dark horse for the Spring Festival. Some people even feel that the film is misplaced, and if it weren't for this highly competitive moment, the box office might have been better.
In the face of everyone's doubts, this film rose to the challenge and proved to the world with its unique charm that as long as the film has deep connotation, it can shine at the box office no matter when it is launched. At present, at the time of the opening of the Spring Festival of films, the box office situation of various films is still unclear, and it is still difficult to win the box office champion, and whether "Article 20" can achieve a counterattack and reach the top of the box office is even more unknown. However, with the excellent quality of this film, even if it fails to win the championship, it will not be overshadowed, because the audience is always willing to pay for excellent films.
