A long time ago, I actually heard that Liang Xiaosheng's work "The World of Man" was adapted into a TV series, but I have not read the original work, and I am not particularly interested in this kind of period drama with a long time span, so I have not paid too much attention to it. Until the day before yesterday, when I was on the bus, there were two elder sisters talking about the characters and plot development in this play, which made me want to see this play.
Because in my opinion, the various ratings on the Internet may contain something that is not objective, but this kind of discussion that occurs in the streets and alleys must be real and credible. When a TV series enters the daily life of ordinary people, it means that this "Human World" must also have something worthy of our praise.
So, with this in mind, I watched two episodes of "The World" in the time after dinner. Although it is only two short episodes, the plot has not yet entered the climax stage, but I am fascinated by it, thinking that this drama is settled. If nothing else, with Sarina's acting skills alone, it is also worth watching.
The plot begins at the end of the 1970s, and the Zhou family living in the Guangzi area of Jichun City is about to face a situation of separation. His father, Zhou Zhigang, wanted to go to the southwest third line to carry out construction, and the eldest son, Zhou Bingyi, wanted to build a corps. According to the policy that families with many children must keep only one child in the city at that time, the daughter Zhou Rong and the younger son Zhou Bingkun had to go to another one. The palms of the hands and the backs of the hands are all meat, which of the two children let go, which one to stay? Her mother, Li Suhua, was momentarily caught in a dilemma.
At this time, Zhou Rong stood up and said that he was going to the countryside, and Zhou Bingkun listened to his sister say this and also competed to say that he was going. Li Suhua listened to her daughter's words, felt sorry for her daughter's stupidity, and said that the good days of the girl's family were just a few years. In order to persuade his sister, Zhou Bingkun also said, "Mom has already expressed her position."
As a mother, Li Suhua is conflicted in her heart, worried that her daughter is not safe to go out, and afraid that her son will feel that he is eccentric. Therefore, she quickly explained to her son that she had not expressed her position. In order to convey this emotion to the audience, the actor Sarina's sentence "I have expressed my attitude" is slight, but with a little disgust. It was such a small detail that the image of a kind mother was immediately presented.
In addition to the tone of the lines, Sarina's crying scene is really easy to empathize with.
On the issue of deciding who to go and who to stay, Father Zhou decided that Zhou Bingkun would go to the countryside next week. The smile on his son's face blossomed, but the mother took her son's hand and tears flashed in her eyes.
Here, Teacher Sarina's crying scene is progressive. At first, there were only tears in his eyes, but as he spoke, the tears snapped and fell. As she spoke thoughtfully to her son, tears kept flowing down her cheeks. This scene made me understand what it means to "tears are like beads with broken threads."
Then it was time to separate, and in the face of the departure of her husband and eldest son, Teacher Sarina used different feelings to convey the emotion of parting. For her son, she laughed and cried, and the tears first swirled in her eyes, and then she held her son and shed tears. This is the mother's reluctance and concern for the child, and the pain is in the heart.
For her husband, her emotions are stoic, there is not much language, just tightly hold the other person's hand, instructing him to write a letter. When her emotions were almost uncontrollable, she quickly turned her head. This is the wife's reluctance and concern for her husband, which is self-evident.
How can such good acting skills not let the audience enter the play, and how can it not resonate with the audience?
