When it comes to Hong Kong's golden supporting roles, whose name will come to mind?
Is it Uncle Da, who just died a few days ago, or Lin Jiadong, who has devoted his life to the role of villain?
In my mind, when it comes to the golden supporting role in Hong Kong, I must not be able to avoid an actor -
Lin Xue.
If a play is compared to a dish, then the main actor is the raw material of the dish, and the supporting role is the seasoning, no matter how fresh the raw materials are, how precious, once the ingredients are too much or too little, then it will overshadow the whole dish, and this "degree" is very important.
As a supporting role, Lin Xue's most successful point is that he knows how to grasp the scale, neither robbing the starring role, nor allowing himself to disappear into the plot.
Whether it is the axe gang second boss played in "Kung Fu" or the killer Ah Fei played in "Gunfire", Lin Xue has left a deep impression on the audience with his acting skills.
However, if one day the seasoning "hustle and bustle" is made into a raw material, and the green leaves become the protagonist, can this dish still be delicious?
Yesterday's launch of the net university "Daddy" is the first movie of "Ten Thousand Years of Green Leaves" Lin Xue as the male number one.
Because of lin xue's personal love, as soon as the film was launched, I immediately watched the whole movie in its entirety, and the following is my personal view of the whole movie.
First, the deduction is more difficult
Starring Lin Xue and Chen Haoming, and cameos by Wang Ning and Wang Chengsi of the Happy Twist Team, "Daddy Miao" is positioned as a fantasy comedy movie.
This positioning is actually quite similar to the Spring Festival stall 'Hello, Li Huanying', in "Li Huanying", Jia Xiaoling travels back to her mother's time, through a series of operations to repay her mother's kindness to her parenting and express her inner apologies, while "Daddy" is a father-daughter exchange of souls, through the way of transposition thinking, so that father and daughter are reconciled.
But compared to the former, the latter may be a little more difficult to perform.
There are huge differences in gender, age and even posture, which can be said to be an unprecedented test for the two actors.
In the past, most of the roles played by Lin Xue were tailor-made for him, such as the underworld boss, the killer, the inconspicuous little people, etc., but the role in "Daddy Miao" is lin Xue's never tried, because he is extremely inconsistent with Lin Xue's tough and fat image -
In the movie, Lin Xue not only plays a father who has broken his heart for his daughter, but also plays a middle-aged uncle with a girl's soul.
The same is true of Chen Haoming, who plays his daughter, and before that, although Chen Haoming starred in some of these blockbuster movies as a supporting role, she did not impress.
For example, in "Charlotte Troubles", Chen Haoming played a student sister Bebe with dental orthodontics, and in "The Richest Man in Xihong", she played the radio anchor Amin.
Although the movie is on fire, the name and appearance of Chen Haoming, an actor, have never been able to leave a memory in the audience's mind.
"Daddy" is her first film to play the heroine, which is nothing less than a huge challenge for Chen Haoming and a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Second, the life experience is real
Du Changyong (Lin Xue) is a middle-aged uncle who retired from a steel mill and re-employed in a barbershop, and he has a rebellious personality in his early widowhood, dreaming of becoming a big star's daughter Du Xiaoqing (Chen Haoming).
In "Daddy Miao", Du Changyong, like many fathers who describe stereotypes in books, is not good at words and cannot understand his daughter's dress.
Although he loves his daughter in his heart, he will remember that she cooks brown sugar water during her monthly menstrual holidays, and will make dumplings every day in order not to let her eat takeaway, but because of the generation gap in concept and age, there is an insurmountable gap between the feelings of father and daughter.
As a son, I can't understand my daughter's feelings, but the problem of the generation gap with my parents, I think, is the daily annoyance of many young friends.
Obviously, they are all talking about Chinese, so why can't they understand our thoughts?
In the movie, the director shows this extremely real scene.
For example, when Du Xiaoqing wore ultra-short hot pants to run a business performance, Du Changyong accused:
"Pants so short, it's offensive!"
How similar is this to a scene in our lives?
Each era has its own dress, but in the eyes of many parents, they always judge the current era by their own standards, and this "fashion" generation gap is not only reflected in clothing, but also in consumption concepts and living habits.
For example, Du Xiaoqing placed good cosmetics and toiletries according to his own habits, and every time his father cleaned, he had to put them back in a neat and uniform manner according to his own ideas.
At the beginning of the film, the director intensifies the communication problem between father and daughter through a series of contradictions in daily life.
The accumulation of negative emotions finally ushered in an outbreak, the father and daughter had a big fight, and our story was finally on the right track.
After a big fight, the father and daughter came to the roof and were accidentally shot by cosmic rays, and the two exchanged souls.
In Du Changyong's cognition, he has always hoped that his daughter will find a stable job and find a reliable object, which is the biggest wish for him, in his heart, he scoffs at the idea that his daughter wants to be an Internet celebrity.
Because in his view, this is not doing the right thing.
In fact, this kind of thinking is also extremely common among contemporary parents, self-media, freelance occupations or some other emerging occupations, in the eyes of many parents are not as reliable as civil servants.
But when he changed to his daughter's body, he slowly discovered how hard this "improper" work really is.
In order to realize his dream, his daughter can wear a heavy ragdoll suit on the street to hand out flyers, and Du often poses that he is tired and has back pain after several hours of posing for a day.
Even, accompanying the producer and boss to the KTV to drink, which her daughter extremely dislikes, but in order to win the opportunity to perform, she also resisted.
In his daughter's body, performing as a daughter and becoming popular, he gradually began to understand his daughter's ideas, and after exchanging lives, Du Changyong re-examined his previous prejudiced views on his daughter, and truly realized that his daughter had actually been working hard.
Similarly, even though Du Xiaoqing knew in her heart that her father loved her, she still hated him, because this stubborn personality was simply incomprehensible.
But when the daughter took the role of father, she knew how much effort her father had put in to support this broken home.
The setting of exchanging souls is used in many movies at home and abroad, and the biggest charm of the setting is that you can experience the feelings and lives of others by substituting for the roles of others, and this kind of "empathy" that can never be experienced in reality will allow you to see a completely different world.
In life, we will quarrel with our parents, we will not understand our parents, and our parents will not understand us, but what about after the quarrel?
You may wish to learn the "soul exchange" in "Daddy", substitute for each other's roles, try to understand, to talk.
Third, the gold medal green leaf as the male protagonist
Lin Xue, as a supporting role label in the golden age of Hong Kong movies, has been doing green leaves all his life.
In recent years, the glory of Hong Kong films has never returned, and after Lin Xue turned to the mainland, he still played some supporting roles, and even very inconspicuous dragon set roles.
Therefore, Lin Xue will say in the interview that his biggest wish in life is to play a leading role.
This time, "Daddy" has fulfilled Lin Xue's wish for many years, and he can finally act in a movie where his eyes are focused on himself.
Although compared with the theatrical movies, "Daddy" is still slightly deficient in many details and production, but as a network large, the audience can slightly reduce the requirements and expectations.
The overall style of "Daddy" is similar to "Hello, Li Huanying", focusing on warmth and comedy, but one is about fatherly love and the other is about maternal love.
Overall, in the movie, in addition to Lin Xue and Chen Haoming, Wang Ning and Wang Chengsi of the twist team also contributed a lot of laughs, which left a deep impression on me.
Positioning the fantasy comedy film "Daddy Miao", for Lin Xue fans, you can go to see, because this is the first movie starring "Golden Supporting Role".
For friends who fell into the famine period after experiencing the wild bombardment of spring festival movies, "Daddy" is also a movie choice.
