Zhang Yi performed "Protecting the Calf" perfectly, his lips trembled for a few seconds, and he was full of joyAmong the many film reviews, one of the actors in the film "Article 20" stood out and became the focus of heated discussions. He is not the starring role throughout the film, but with less than ten minutes of appearance, he impressed the audience and professional film critics, and called "acting explosive". This low-key and powerful actor is Zhang Yi, and his wonderful performance not only subverted people's traditional perception of supporting roles, but also triggered a craze for the depth of acting skills.
"Master of Micro Expressions": A full score performance in the police station.
When talking about Zhang Yi's god-level performance in this movie, many audiences and industry experts invariably pointed to the scene at the police station. In this scene, Zhang Yi vividly interprets the image of a complacent and domineering father through two subtle changes in expression, as well as the family education problems reflected behind it.
Antecedent: Parents intervene in their children's disputes.
The incident originated from Zhang Ke (played by Shi Pengyuan) bullying his classmates at school, and was stopped by Han Yuchen (played by Liu Yaowen), but it caused Zhang Ke to fracture the bridge of his nose. The conflict eventually pushed the parents of both sides to the forefront, and the parents of the prosecutor's son Han Yuchen, Li Maojuan (played by Ma Li) and Han Ming (played by Lei Jiayin), and Zhang Yi (played by Director Zhang), who is the director of the teaching department, engaged in a-for-tat confrontation at the police station.
Details of homeschooling failures revealed.
When Zhang Yi entered the police station with his son, the cleverly designed action details revealed the lack of Director Zhang's family education. The position of the father and son in front of each other, as well as Zhang Yi's authoritative posture after sitting down, are in stark contrast to the nervous son behind him. This seemingly casual design is actually a delicate performance of Zhang Yi's deep into the character's heart, showing the negative effects of Director Zhang, as a single father, on the growth of his children under his high power.
Hide the ingenuity of the script": create three-dimensional characters.
Zhang Yi proposed revisions on the basis of the original script, allowing Zhang Ke to show cringe rather than arrogance in front of his father, making this originally thin villain a three-dimensional and sympathetic side. A simple action of pulling his son into the seat led to in-depth thinking about Director Zhang's family education style and personality traits, and also hinted at the complex family background behind Zhang Ke's behavior.
Artistic manipulation of facial muscles".
In the process of arguing with Ma Li, Zhang Yi's lips trembling expression became the key to detonating the laughter and exclamation of the audience. In the face of Ma Li's counterattack, Zhang Yi expressed surprise, shock and even annoyance with precisely controlled facial muscles, and the comedic effect and serious themes are intertwined, which is not only in line with the character setting but also fits the overall style of the film, which can be called a textbook-level micro-expression performance.
A display of the power of emotional outbursts".
Even in the emotional explosion scenes that Zhang Yi is good at, such as the fierce confrontation with Ma Li at the wine table, he is not inferior. The transition from restraint to anger is natural and smooth, especially the explosive power at the moment when the phone is smashed, which shocks the audience in the theater. This scene not only shows Director Zhang's arbitrariness, but also reflects Zhang Yi's deep understanding and control of the emotional level of the character.
Multi-faceted Zhang Yi: Acting career and achievements.
Zhang Yi, a powerful actor active on the screen, has won the love of the audience with his solid acting skills and unique personal charm. From the mask covering his face throughout "My Motherland and Me", which can convey rich emotions with just a pair of eyes, to the moving moment when he was excited to lose his voice when he reunited with Yin Tao in "Chicken Feathers Fly to the Sky", to the confident smile on the corner of his mouth when he shouted the real name of the criminal in "The Three Teams", every character has left an indelible mark.
Doubts and praises: forging ahead in the midst of controversy.
Although Zhang Yi is not a handsome star in the traditional sense, his talent gives his characters lasting vitality and makes audiences pay more attention to his work than to his appearance. This persistent pursuit of acting skills is precisely a powerful refutation of the impetuous phenomenon in the current entertainment industry. Zhang Yi's success reminds us that if we want to go long on the road of acting, in addition to appearance, what can really retain the hearts of the audience is superb acting skills and deep excavation of roles.
To sum up, Zhang Yi's performance in "Article 20" once again proves his profound acting skills and artistic creativity. Every subtle change in expression and every scene is a reminder to the audience of how an excellent actor can turn an ordinary scene into a stunning classic clip through unremitting efforts and unique insights. And this is exactly what Zhang Yi continues to bring us surprises, and it is also his unique charm in the film and television industry.
