Original title: "After Marriage" is the first female number one, and the interpretation of divorced women has been well received (citation).
Chen Ziyao: Get out and play a divorced "crazy woman" (theme).
Yangcheng Evening News reporter Hu Guangxin.
The Hong Kong drama "After Marriage" is being broadcast on Jade Channel and Bury Duidui. This drama is directed by Lincoln, the producer of the word-of-mouth Hong Kong drama "Hong Kong Love Story", with 20 episodes of "divorce", "infidelity", "wrong love" and "repair". The response to the series in the first week of broadcast was good, and the Douban score rose to 87 points.
And the biggest focus of "After Marriage" must be the heroine Chen Ziyao. For the first time since her debut, she played the role of the female number one, playing Zhang Mingxin, a woman who decided to divorce after her husband's cheating and betrayal. In the plot of the first week, Zhang Mingxin's emotions were full of ups and downs: the madness of divorce, the fragility in front of his daughter, and the indifference to his ex-husband ......Chen Ziyao's performance was praised by many viewers as "very real". In an interview with Yangcheng Evening News and other **, Chen Ziyao admitted that he had put a lot of effort into this role. And she also encouraged the "Zhang Mingxin" who encountered marriage problems in reality to stay calm: "Marriage is the result of the joint efforts of two people. When you encounter a problem, communicate rationally with the other party, and don't be in a crazy state forever. That's what I suggest. ”
Who drove her into a crazy woman?
Zhang Mingxin, played by Chen Ziyao, left the first impression on the audience as "crazy". "After Marriage" unfolds the narrative from different perspectives, and the first episode is the perspective of Zhang Mingxin's ex-husband Pan Shanren. Pan Shanren appeared as an honest and forbearant gentleman, while Zhang Mingxin was aggressive in the divorce mediation court, fighting for custody of his daughter, and turned a blind eye to Pan Shanren's pain. Chen Ziyao explained: "The 'madness' that the audience saw in the first episode may not be true. This is Pan Shanren's perspective, and Zhang Mingxin in his eyes is exaggerated. ”
In her opinion, "After Marriage" is like a puzzle. The audience listens to different characters tell the same story, gradually piecing together the whole picture of the event. From Zhang Mingxin's perspective in the second episode, her pain in marriage was gradually revealed. Pan Shanren is a part-time university lecturer with an unstable income; His father was a gambler and relied on Zhang Mingxin to pay off his gambling debts; She worked hard to start a business, but sacrificed the opportunity to accompany her daughter; Pan Shanren cheated on a female student, and begged for forgiveness after being discovered, when Zhang Mingxin was ready to not blame the past, but inadvertently found that he wrote "After Marriage"** full of attachment to "her" and disgust for marriage......
The audience will understand how Zhang Mingxin became a 'crazy woman' and why he did anything to get revenge on Pan Shanren. One of the things I love about this show is that the characters are not perfect. They have flaws, they have a dark side, and the audience will see it. In these 20 episodes of the story, the audience will understand them better by following the mental journeys of different characters. Chen Ziyao also revealed that Zhang Mingxin's life will not stay in hatred: "Everyone will find that she will transform and slowly repair herself when they see the back." ”
Since the start of the series, Chen Ziyao has received a lot of comments, and these netizens are also going through, or have experienced Zhang Mingxin's state. How will she encourage the real-life "Zhang Mingxin"? Chen Ziyao said: "It's normal to have emotions, but you need to give yourself a cooling-off period, think about the problems in this marriage, and don't be in a crazy state forever." It's better to sit down with the other person and have a rational chat. Because marriage is, after all, a matter of two people. ”
Marriage requires two people to work together.
"After Marriage" begins with "divorce", and puts the unbearable marriage in front of the audience at the beginning. When the marriage comes to an end, everyone in the family suffers. Chen Ziyao said that the perspective of her daughter in the fourth episode resonated with her the most: "In reality, I am also a mother. The fourth episode looks at the divorce of parents from the perspective of children, which is really sad. The child is very simple and kind, she tried all means to hope that her parents would get back together, but in the end it failed, which is really tear-jerking. ”
Standing at the end of the marriage and looking back, probably many people will ask: Why is it so? Chen Ziyao is the same. She felt sorry for Zhang Mingxin and Pan Shanren: "They used to be really sweet. Zhang Mingxin's mother was once very opposed to their marriage, thinking that Pan Shanren had no money, but her daughter got married. But Mingxin doesn't mind. This vigorous love was ultimately defeated by the pressures of life. ”
Marriage is like opening a blind box, and no one knows whether married life is good or bad. Chen Ziyao lamented that maintaining a marriage is not an easy thing to do, and it requires the joint efforts of both husband and wife: "A happy marriage is the result of the joint efforts of both parties, and I think both people are responsible for where a marriage goes." "How do you manage a good marriage? Chen Ziyao gave four words: don't forget the original intention. "I think people must have chosen to get married because they love each other so much. No one can predict what will happen after marriage, so getting married is a brave thing. Whether or not to enter into marriage, everyone has their own choice. But after entering, you must be brave enough to take responsibility to maintain the relationship, and try not to let it end in failure. ”
"After Marriage" tells the four themes of divorce, infidelity, wrong love, and repair, with a large time span, and several protagonists experience all kinds of happiness and misfortune in it. Chen Ziyao likes that this drama ends with "restoration": "Love can ** everything." In a relationship, whether it's good or bad, we can all learn from it how to be a better version of ourselves. Just like Zhang Mingxin, when she finally walked out of the storm of marriage, she also grew. ”
The first heroine didn't come too late.
"Aftermath" is the first drama in which Chen Ziyao has played the female number one since joining TVB 20 years ago. Huang Bingyi, the editor of this play, once collaborated with Chen Ziyao on "BB is too big to be in the sky", and it was she who recommended Chen Ziyao to producer Lincoln. And Chen Ziyao described this opportunity as "winning": "This is the best script I have encountered as an actor for so many years." I remember crying while watching the first five episodes of the script, and every line of dialogue pierced into my heart with precision. ”
Chen Ziyao officially debuted as an actor in the idol drama "Chisha Mark @ Clover 2", but her sweet-looking career has been tepid. After waiting for 20 years, she finally waited for the first heroine in her life, Chen Ziyao didn't think it was too late: "If I encountered such a script ten years ago, I might not be able to play it well." It may be that the acting skills are not mature enough, or it may be that the life experience is not rich enough. Now when I can control it, I meet "After Marriage", which is the best arrangement. ”
Zhang Mingxin is indeed a difficult character to control. Chen Ziyao admitted frankly that during the months of filming, she was under a lot of mental pressure: she was afraid that she would not act well and that she would waste a great opportunity. Her strategy is to get out of the way and turn herself into Zhang Mingxin. During that time, she could only sleep for three or four hours a day from morning to night. "Zhang Mingxin's emotional ups and downs are very large, and he has experienced many moments of collapse. I basically starred in these collapse scenes without makeup, hoping to let the audience see the most real state. During that time, I was mostly in Zhang Mingxin's state. I sometimes deliberately isolate myself, don't communicate with the crew, and keep myself in the emotions of the characters. Sometimes after a scene is filmed, I should have pulled out, but I still get stuck in the state of the character, which I have basically not encountered before. This character carried too much, so it was indeed a bit depressive at the time. It took a lot of physical strength and energy, and I relied on willpower to finish the role in the end. ”
In recent years, Chen Ziyao has worked more and more, and last year he had more of an identity - live broadcast anchor. She expressed her hope to be able to take care of both the identity of anchor and actor: "I have always been an actor, but last year I tried to develop in many aspects and added an anchor identity. I will always be filming, hoping to meet good scripts and characters. She doesn't see the balance between family and career as an issue: "For so many years, I have spent my time outside of work with my family, taking care of and spending time with my little friends. As for whether she will let her daughter watch "After Marriage", Chen Ziyao said with a smile: "Children should not understand such an esoteric play." ”
