Zhang Yimou's new film "Article 20" is on the air. For this Spring Festival blockbuster, everyone has their favorite points. Some people are attracted by the theme of "justifiable defense" in this film, and some people are moved by the cast in the film. Others are caught by the laughter and rhythm in the film. 
But I am different from most people, I was moved by the role of Hao Xiuping, a hearing-impaired person played by Zhao Liying in the film. After watching Zhao Liying's performance in this movie, I really want to say that Zhao Liying has stepped onto the "altar of acting"! It is even an exaggeration to say that Zhao Liying has become a "symbol". So how good is Zhao Liying's acting skills, which is worthy of my praise? I think it can be expanded from these three aspects:
The first is Zhao Liying's understanding of the role! In fact, when Zhang Yimou asked Zhao Liying to play the role of Hao Xiuping, he told Zhao Liying that this role was a supporting role at the beginning. Ranked behind Lei Jiayin and Ma Li. And after Zhao Liying got this role, how did she understand this role? Obviously, the role of Hao Xiuping is a normal person, but when Zhao Liying knew that the daughter in the film was disabled, she immediately gave her own understanding. That is, Hao Xiuping can also be a disabled person. And after Zhang Yimou agreed to Zhao Liying's suggestion, Zhao Liying began to take off. Although it is only a supporting role, although there are not many scenes. 
But as long as Zhao Liying appears in the clip, as long as Zhao Liying shows her face, she is the focus of the audience. Especially in the scene of jumping off the building, although Zhao Liying only expressed it in sign language, she still expressed her muscles. The most explosive thing is the moment when she resolutely jumped off at the end, it can be said that this clip is really the most explosive point in the entire "Article 20". This is also the fundamental reason why Zhao Liying was in all the ** clips when Zhang Yimou began to promote this movie later. Because Zhao Liying, who cooperated with Zhang Yimou for the first time, did prove with practical actions that she was a complete drama maniac. Her acting skills really have no limit. 
The second is Zhao Liying's perception of actors! In fact, Zhao Liying can refuse to participate in this "Article 20". Although Zhao Liying rarely makes movies, she has long been a god in the TV circle. From "The Legend of Lu Zhen", to "Flower Thousand Bone", to the TV series "Do You Know If You Should Be Green, Fat, Red and Thin", Zhao Liying has long become the ceiling of actresses in the TV circle. And this time in this "Article 20", Zhang Yimou asked her to play a supporting role, and she was also suppressed by Lei Jiayin and Ma Li. Zhao Liying can completely refuse to accept this play. 
However, Zhao Liying not only did not refuse this role, but also proved a cliché point of view with her strength, that is: "There are no small roles, only small actors". Although the protagonists of this movie are Lei Jiayin and Ma Li, Zhao Liying has an excellent interpretation and an accurate understanding of the role. Conquered everyone. Even Ma Li said that after watching the role of Hao Xiuping played by Zhao Liying, she was attracted to her. 
And the actress Gao Ye, who has a rivalry with Zhao Liying, was deeply impressed by Zhao Liying after watching Zhao Liying's performance in the part where she jumped off the building. This is a real actor, this is a real powerhouse. doesn't care about the size of the role, even in a limited scene, she can shine her own light, and she can also let everyone see her demeanor. Therefore, the public calls Zhao Liying a "drama maniac", which is indeed not an exaggeration. At least after watching Zhao Liying's performance in "Article 20" this time, I was really attracted to her, she is the most explosive actress in the whole film. Even Ma Li and Gao Ye can't cover her limelight! 
The third is Zhao Liying's creativity! Zhang Yimou commented on Zhao Liying in an interview, he said that this was the first time he cooperated with Zhao Liying, and Zhao Liying did give her a big surprise. Even Zhang Yimou used one word to describe Zhao Liying, that is, "wash away the lead". The reason why Zhang Yimou gave Zhao Liying such an evaluation has to start with the role of Hao Xiuping. In the original script, the role of Hao Xiuping was a normal person, and only her daughter was a disabled person. 
At that time, after Zhao Liying saw the script, she immediately called a *** to director Zhang Yimou and asked him: "Why is the child disabled, but the mother is not?" At that time, when Zhang Yimou heard Zhao Liying's suggestion, he was stunned for about a second, and when Zhang Yimou understood Zhao Liying's point, he immediately said to Zhao Liying in **: "Your suggestion is very good!" It is precisely because of Zhao Liying's suggestion that the tension and sense of conflict of Hao Xiuping's role have been enhanced in an instant. Of course, director Zhang Yimou was also worried that the role of Hao Xiuping, if there are no lines, it will be difficult to interpret. 
But wait until Zhao Liying gets started, and wait until Zhao Liying enters the play by relying on sign language. Zhang Yimou was instantly amazed by Zhao Liying. In Zhang Yimou's view, Zhao Liying, an actress, reshaped the role of Hao Xiuping by herself, and it can even be said that she has created a new Hao Xiuping. Hao Xiuping before was just a tool man, just a small supporting role. But after Zhao Liying's recreation, Hao Xiuping has become the eye of the whole film. 
And Zhao Liying is not only in this "Article 20", but also in "The Wind Blows in the Summer" she starred in, and "Do You Know If You Should Be Green, Fat, Red and Thin". A real actor not only completes the role according to the director's setting, but a real actor should be like Zhao Liying, to help the role, to shape the role, and to fulfill the role.
The current box office of "Article 20" has rushed to 1.3 billion, and according to the current word-of-mouth and trend, this movie has rushed to the box office of 2 billion, which is indeed very promising.
And it's really hard to say how much Zhao Liying's acting skills have added to the box office for this movie, but one thing is certain, that is, Zhao Liying's acting skills really made this movie really popular out of the circle and really made this movie a classic. In this 2024 Spring Festival, the most admirable movie is this "Article 20", what do you think?
