Near the end of the year, good dramas appear frequently, and on the day of the premiere of "Xiao Minjia", the ratings broke 1, which can be described as the first victory. The director of this drama is still Wang Jun, after the successful production of a series of "small" character works such as "Little Joy", "Little Parting", "Little Shede" and so on, Huang Lei and Wang Jun cooperated again, one as a screenwriter, one as a director, and together created this "Xiao Min Family".
The whole play has more points to watch, and it is also grounded, and it is a realistic family drama.
Where does Zhou Gongzi's "motherly taste" come from?
Zhou Xun has a nickname in the circle, called "Zhou Gongzi", a female stream, but the body flows with a cold, arrogant sense of gongzi. Zhou Xun still has no children, but in "Xiao Min's Family" it naturally exudes "mother's taste", let's study it, where does her mother's taste come from?
For the understanding of "mother's taste", it is not difficult to understand the role of Haiqing in the previous "small" character works, and the "mother's taste" on her body comes from the appearance of her twittering pointing at the child every day, from her concern for the grades, the posture of spitting on the child's grades every day and her girlfriends, from the feeling that she is so angry that she is red in the face and cannot say a word, from the joy of her chasing her son behind her at school. Her "motherly taste" is summed up in one sentence: "wind and fire".
There is also such a similar character in the play, that is, Li Ping, played by Qin Hailu, who hates iron and steel every day to her daughter Chen Jiajia. Seeing her with a big belly, sitting in the doorway of her daughter's bedroom and talking to her inside, I couldn't help but think of the roles of mothers played by Haiqing.
For Zhou Xun, who has a cool temperament, she is obviously not suitable for these twittering characters, and her personality does not seem to like to talk. So how does she express her "motherly feeling"?
From the role point of view, Liu Xiaomin (Zhou Xun) is an unusual mother, because she suffered unfair treatment when she was young, which led to her separation from her son, and the custody of her son is also in the hands of her ex-husband, and she and her son are in a state of "semi-acquaintance".
When the strange mother-child relationship first began, it did not seem to be smooth, and two strangers like people, eating together and living together, were busy with their own affairs.
But later, when the son wanted to go to Noh Cheng Education to receive re-study training, the two had a dispute. Zhou Xun touched his heart to his son, who had just returned from home, and said: "In your mother's heart, you will always be the first, and your mother will also say sorry to you."
Judging from the details of Liu Xiaomin's life, whether she is a first-year date or Li Ping, who has a low three-four request for a festival, she puts her son first, and considers her son's interests more. Zhou Xun's "motherly taste" is not reflected in the lines, but in the details of life, when she carefully hid the evidence of her own love for her son, I saw how much this mother cared about her son's inner feelings.
When his son misunderstood that he was unwilling to work hard for his son's training class, Liu Xiaomin's eyes had light in the first second, and then became dim and dull because of his son's roar, with faint tears in his eyelids. This is "maternal love", but also the so-called "mother's taste", for the mother, a misunderstanding of the son is enough to pain the heart.
Huang Lei's role has not been a breakthrough
From "Little Parting" all the way, Huang Lei's role has not been a breakthrough, he has always played an enlightened father, and this time the role he plays is similar. Only this time with Zhou Xunguan couple, it seems that there is also a slight sense of violation.
Huang Lei and Zhou Xun have cooperated when they are young, one is Xu Zhimo, the prince of The Wing, and the other is the literati Miss Lin Huiyin, the two men and women, in their youth, they are also envious of others on the screen.
Later, huang Lei changed his figure with age, and gradually had a sense of middle age, and when he matched with Zhou Xun, he had an indescribable grease. But fortunately, they are not playing the love of young people, although there is no sense of CP, but in the chai rice oil and salt, there is a romance of wind and snow.
The love of middle-aged people does not use the appearance of a talented woman, but more of a fit of life experience, the fit of the three views, the suitability of economic conditions and life planning. It has been a few years since the two previous partners, and the two actors have gone from the green years to the years of confusion. Needless to say in terms of acting skills, coupled with Qin Hailu, Liu Lili and other strong lineups, the popularity of this drama is self-evident, and there is no need for additional publicity at all.
Huang Lei gave his daughter hot milk in the play, patiently explained his mother's hard work to his daughter, and his open-mindedness in treating his daughter in love, etc., which made me feel that I saw the father in "Little Parting" or "Little Joy".
He is a representative of a modern loving father, but the actor is more important to create a more diverse role, rather than just walking in the comfort zone. I don't think Huang Lei has really made a breakthrough this time.
"Middle-aged Mary Sue" is not oily?
"Middle-aged Mary Sue" is the audience's abbreviation for middle-aged actors who still use young people to fall in love. For example, Zhang Ziyi and Zhou Zhouwei's "Shangyang Fu" was crowned with tender, screen-filled adjectives.
And the heroic Liu Tao is not spared, once she relied on "Ode to Joy" once became a professional high-IQ woman that people yearn for, but a "Star Sea" that she cooperated with Lin Feng, the "wall bang" and "strong kiss" on the screen made the audience sigh. They are all acting schools, but they can't escape the spell of "middle-aged Mary Sue".
This time, Huang Lei and Zhou Xun played a middle-aged couple in love, but there was no greasy feeling, but there was a natural "small freshness". Why?
First of all, from the perspective of character settings, why do the audience feel "oil" in "Shangyang Fu" and "Great Qin Fu"? That's because old actors are playing the role of young people. Obviously, he has reached middle age, but he still has to pretend to be a girl, which makes people look very contrary. In fact, our so-called "girlish feeling" is not that the role must be very girly, but a mentality that can be deduced in the heart that still desires "pure love".
This time in "Xiao Min's House", the above did not do a very young girl, on the contrary, the real and the actual age of the actor is almost the same, playing two divorced middle-aged people, both with 20-year-old sons and daughters, there are seven or eighty fathers and mothers on it. From the perspective of human realism alone, there is no "middle-aged Mary Sue" stereotype.
Secondly, from the perspective of plot interpretation, two people in the trunk of the car, romantically enjoy champagne and roses, such a romance really belongs to young people. But for middle-aged couples who love each other for the first anniversary, such a sense of ceremony is even more precious.
In fact, when the role of Huang Lei first appeared, people would wonder why Liu Xiaomin, played by Zhou Xun, a cold fairy, would fall in love with this ordinary man? I think this romantic one-year anniversary can give you the answer. Because Chen Zhuo's (Huang Lei) love is hidden in bits and pieces of "care".
Finally, Liu Xiaomin (Zhou Xun) is a nurse in an international hospital, and the "cleanliness" brought to her by the profession of nurse is an occupational disease, but Chen Zhuo (Huang Lei) does not show a dismissive look like most men in China, but respects each other's living habits.
When there are some contradictions, they are skillfully resolved with "humor", which greatly improves Liu Xiaomin's quality of life, so that in her boring and rigorous life, there is more mischievousness and more Chen Zhuo who is not restricted by order. When Liu Xiaomin and Chen Zhuo are together, it is the time when they laugh the most happily and happily.
In general, "Xiao Min Jia" is another masterpiece of director Wang Jun, and Zhou Xun, who rarely appears in family ethics dramas, gave the audience many surprises. Middle-aged looking for love, halfway couple, easy to put down, how rare is it to be able to take it again?
A play tells the real life of too many Chinese, and each character is a person around him. Marriage cannot define the life of a divorced second-marriage person, but love can. Staying together for a lifetime, in fact, is not so difficult, as long as you believe, as long as you act, we are still young!
