"I really didn't think Zhao Liying would come here."”
If Jia Ling's loss of 100 pounds is an inspirational story written in a whole year, then Zhao Liying has spent 30 years quietly writing an inspirational story. Who would have thought that Xue Shanshan and Xiaogu 10 years ago would become the acting school in realist movies.
Zhao Liying does not have many scenes in "Article 20", but her role as Hao Xiuping, a deaf and dumb village woman, is the highlight of the film. Fortunately, she didn't disappoint, and the completion of the role was quite good. 
For two and a half hours, Hao Xiuping, who was without makeup, did not have a single line, and relied on sign language, eyes and body expression throughout the whole process, expressing an ordinary person who was forced to despair helplessly, and expressing the mother's love who wanted to fight even if there was only a glimmer of hope. 
It turned out that the setting of the story was that Hao Xiuping's five-year-old daughter was deaf and mute, but after reading the script, Zhao Liying called the director and boldly asked: "Why can't I (be deaf and mute)?" Zhang Yimou thinks this is a good idea, but it also means that Zhao Liying needs to do more homework all of a sudden, and it is more difficult to play this role well. 
Live with hearing-impaired families in advance and learn sign language, and observe their usual behavior and habits; On the set and in everyday life, she tries to turn herself into a silent person. Although these are the basic operations of a good actor and should not be taken out to praise too much, if you have been a goldfish in a fish tank, maybe you don't have to do these things.
When Zhao Liying decided to jump out of the fish tank and swim to the sea, she should have expected that she would either fail and become a dried dead fish, or she would have the ability and determination to deal with the sea. 
She broke through her ceiling and was no longer the Zhao Liying of the past. After the movie was filmed, Zhang Yimou commented.
Yes, to some extent, Zhao Liying has indeed done it. The first person who was not optimistic about her transformation was slapped in the face. 
Zhao Liying is a flower, but it must not bloom in a rich greenhouse.
As we all know, she was born in the countryside, grew up farming, has no background, no resources, Zhao Liying's starting point for her debut is low to the dust, but she still yearns for the outside world.
When she was a child, she wanted to be a flight attendant, but she failed to apply for the exam, so she had to find a job in a factory close to home. Zhao Liying, who doesn't want to be a female worker for the rest of her life, participated in a local talent show in 2006, performing Zhang Shaohan's "Fable", and was lucky to win the championship. 
Fortunes began to change, but a little slowly. Although Zhao Liying entered the entertainment industry because of this, for a long time, Zhao Liying could only play tricks in the crew and take on some "maid" roles, because she has a cute round face, the type of role given to her has always been very fixed.
has been running in the crew for 7 years, I don't know how many small roles I have played, and Zhao Liying's fate gear has only really turned at this moment. Because of "The Legend of Lu Zhen", she became famous overnight from the internal entertainment Xiao Transparent. So, riding the red east wind, similar dramas began to come to the door one after another. the lively and lovely Shanshan in "Shanshan is Coming"; the small bones with the heart of a child in "Flower Thousand Bone"; The tough and kind Chu Qiao in "The Legend of Chu Qiao" ......Maybe these characters look different on the surface, but in essence, they are all heroines of idol dramas, and they interpret the same theme. 
Maybe from this time on, Zhao Liying has a little "ambition" growing, she once said, "I don't understand the value of an actor, why is it defined because of the shape of the face." "Lovely, well-behaved, kind, docile ......These original impressions and definitions were given to her by people, and she later used the characters to break them one by one. 
Do You Know If You Should Be Green, Fat, Red and Thin", Zhao Liying has obviously matured, and she began to tell the audience with facts that she doesn't want to continue to be stupid and sweet in idol dramas, she looked at the sea, and then she decided to swim to the sea.
When many actresses of the same age or even older than her were still trying to keep fresh and afraid of getting old, Zhao Liying decided to stride into the theme of "middle-aged women", married, divorced, and mothers, willing to play anything.
As soon as the poster of "Who is**" appeared, two voices were triggered: expectation and questioning, Zhao Liying's real transformation work, and can she play well?
Seriously, this show has obvious flaws for various reasons, but most people still affirm her bravery. Some people think that she may just be testing the water, and if she can't turn her head, she can hide back in the familiar ancient puppet. Oh, they underestimated Zhao Liying.
If one doesn't work, then another one will be more thorough. Who would have thought that Zhao Liying, a traffic flower, would take over the role of a village woman. In "Happiness to Ten Thousand Homes", Zhao Liying completely gave up the old way. From the countryside to the city, the stubborn and admittedly rural peasant woman He Xingfu is, to a certain extent, not a metaphor for Zhao Liying's own fate.
While we were still appreciating and marveling at the ruthlessness of her determination to transform, she transformed into Xu Banxia, a female entrepreneur who shook the industry in Northeast China. In "The Wind Blows in the Summer", Zhao Liying herself said that she gained 20 pounds after the performance, and she explained that she did not deliberately gain weight, she became fat when she patted it, and she learned and gladly accepted that she was naturally shaped into a character image by life.
And Xu Banxia, starting from scratch, started from collecting scrap products and selling scrap steel, and gradually broke out in the sea of men-dominated steel dealers with his courage and courage. This also seems a bit like Zhao Liying herself. Director Fu Dongyu also said: "After reading the original work, the first choice in his mind is Zhao Liying." Because the feeling of 'strength' on her body is very similar to Xu Banxia. ”
The progress of her acting skills is visible to the naked eye, from coming down the assembly line of idol dramas to being an actor and craftsman who is intensively cultivated, this road Zhao Liying is still continuing.
In the movie "Article 20", Zhao Liying even gave up the female number one and became an actor who really "for the show". Weibo, Douban, **Screenshot Writing: Grain.
