"Female Psychologist" has many powerful supporting roles with amazing acting skills, but if you choose the most brilliant one, Fu Tang, a schizophrenic patient played by Yang Tongshu, is a typical crazy beauty.
The beauty of the characters is not only the skin bag but also the temperament.
A genius beauty with mental illness has a strong sense of substitution when she first appears, combining hot red and mysterious black, even if she recalls a "middle-aged Mary Sue idol drama" staged around her in the plot, it also makes the audience very convinced.
Such a dazzling and romantic woman, let Ji Mingcong and Ye Jicheng never forget, no one will feel contrary, many viewers also because the atmosphere of the middle-aged idol drama is too strong to call her "a certain river on the run heroine".
The madness of the characters can always inadvertently make the audience frightened.
Because of mental problems, Fu Tang's mood changes a lot, sometimes crazy and sometimes innocent, sometimes cold and sometimes cunning, it is difficult for the audience to distinguish which one is the real her, but it can be determined that each side of her is very impactful.
Sometimes, the character only needs to use a smile, a line, to make the audience get goosebumps, at this time you will find that the real crazy beauty, crazy is not in the skin, but in the heart, like the wind completely out of control.
Beautiful and crazy, innocent and mysterious, elegant and dangerous, this is the tone of Fu Tang's character, which not only amazes the audience but also presses a good axis for "Female Psychologist", and the sense of character existence is very strong.
The success of such a role is also due to two major factors.
The first is the brilliant human setting, the early preparation is very solid, the fragmented clues make the audience full of curiosity about the character, and the later character design is very emotional, which fully integrates the dramatic tension of the crazy beauty into this special theme.
The other is the credit of actor Yang Tongshu, when the character first appeared, many viewers lamented that no one else was more suitable for playing Fu Tang than Yang Tongshu, because the role of "beautiful and crazy" was her best play.
In the era of old dramas, screenwriters are very keen to portray the villain female partners of the "snake and scorpion beauty", use their evil to set off the truth, goodness and beauty of the heroine, and use their hands to create contradictions to promote the progress of the plot.
These snake and scorpion beauties have a high production, so there is no lack of traces of facialization, but there are still two screen characters who are regarded by many post-8090s as the "childhood nightmare" of the snake and scorpion beauty world because they are too deeply rooted in people's hearts.
One is Jiang Yuyan in "Little Fish and Flowers", who experienced ups and downs in a miserable life, and she did not have a normal moral concept when she struggled to get out of the quagmire, and finally only the title of the whole drama that was killed by her own strength was left, which made the audience shudder.
The other is Xu Yingying, played by Yang Tongshu in "Supreme Red Face", who is transformed into a demon step by step by the kind girlfriend of the heroine, doing all the evil things in the world, and even killing the friends of Qingmei Bamboo Horse, fierce to madness.
This role is different from the common "snake and scorpion beauty", many villains are evil and do not know it, But Xu Yingying regrets it while doing evil without mercy, and the characters often switch back and forth between pain and madness.
At that time, I only thought that this role was too terrible, but now looking back, Xu Yingying is actually an early "crazy beauty", and the evil of other villains is with a backbone, and her evil has a strong "madness".
Characters with this trait are actually very outstanding, because the characters are infectious, and in a group portrait of justice, it is easier to be remembered by the audience, whether they like it or dislike it, they can push the audience's emotions to the extreme.
But it is difficult to play a good "crazy beauty", and it is easy for actors to play the "crazy" attribute of the role full of violence into a real "crazy person" without paying attention, and sometimes, the performance is too outward, but it cannot withstand chewing.
In this regard, Yang Tongshu handled it very delicately, and she played Xu Yingying with almost no excessive performance, but she could still make the audience feel suffocated, and the blackening never relied on makeup or roaring.
When playing Fu Tang, who has a more complex personality, he interprets the variability of the characters more vividly.
When the character's emotions tend to be stable, or elegant and gentle, or innocent and shy, or calm statement, each side can let the audience easily distinguish the character's state of illness, and when it comes to presenting the "madness" of the character, there are two perceptions.
One is the "madness" of emotions, which is Fu Tang's own uncontrollable condition, mainly concentrated in the state of seizures.
The other is the inherent "madness", which is an attribute that belongs to the bones of the character, and the performance method is introverted to the extreme.
The behavior of the characters seems to be normal, but the atmosphere created is completely different, sometimes she just quietly shows a smile, but it can make the audience creepy, and the more you look at it, the more terrible it feels.
The same "crazy beauty", different "crazy" from the inside to the outside, the appearance of quiet and the inner surging character tension, Yang Tongshu has performed naturally and smoothly, and even let many viewers feel that this is her own personal characteristics.
Yang Tongshu's hotly discussed film and television roles, it is true that most of them are playing villains or character problematic roles, the mother of the male protagonist in "In the Name of Family", Yang Tongshu's superb acting skills were once scolded because the audience was too into the drama.
But Yang Tongshu is not only able to be an "evil female professional household", although she is out of the circle with the ancient puppet "Supreme Red Face" Xu Yingying, her own play path is very wide, and she is an actor who has always been inclined to focus on the main drama.
In "The Emperor of Han Wu", Yang Tongshu played two roles of Princess Pingyang and Jin Custom, one is noble and dignified, and the other is simple and straightforward, looking at the end at a glance, many viewers have not found that it is the same actor.
In "Taiping Heavenly Kingdom", the female champion Fu Shanxiang, played by her, is also very colorful, and the beautiful image of Wen Wan is impressive, and the tragic evolution of the character from the vitality of the appearance to the tragic evolution after becoming a hegemonic plaything is also portrayed very delicately.
Moreover, Yang Tongshu's appearance and temperament are very prominent among actors in the same period, and when he was young, he often played the role of a dream lover in a well-known costume beauty or idol drama, and now with the increase of age, the temperament is more outstanding.
The successful shaping of the role of Fu Tang in "Female Psychologist" is the joint increase in Yang Tongshu's acting skills and personal conditions, the mature charm and the smile that still has a girlish feeling, so that the "middle-aged idol drama" in the memory has no greasy feeling.
This is a very rare trait of middle-aged actors, and the memories of middle-aged characters in many works will use safer young actors, because middle-aged actors may not be able to support the sense of atmosphere in appearance.
Before Fu Tang's official appearance, the camera has been creating her mystery and beauty, which has satisfied the audience's appetite, and if the real person cannot hold up the tone of the half-covered face of the pipa, the perception will also become worse.
But this is almost no pressure on Yang Tongshu, although her face already has the traces of age, and the corners of her eyes have the mark of time, but it still makes the audience feel beautiful and natural, complementing the role.
To some extent, Fu Tang and Yang Tongshu are also mutual achievements, the former is the best driver of the latter, and the latter gives the former the opportunity to bloom again, perfecting the work and stunning the audience.
I also hope that after "Female Psychologist", Yang Tongshu, who combines acting skills and beauty, can bring more excitement to the audience.
