Mention "Cao Jun", in the past, many viewers' impression of him may stay in "Pauline Lantern" or Chen Wenjie, who is intelligent and spirited in "Nine-year-old County Taiye", and after the "I Am an Actor" acting competition variety show was launched, the audience re-acquainted with Cao Jun, a young actor who is proficient in this literary and martial arts drama, but rarely has drama after adulthood.
After Cao Jun was eliminated by this variety show for reasons other than acting, netizens' regret for him reached its peak, and related topics quickly rushed to the hot search, and then fell silent again, and just a year later, Cao Jun once again returned to the public's sight as an actor, and the reason why he was on the hot search this time was his superb and substitutional acting skills in the poverty alleviation drama "On the Field of Hope".
In the past two years, the main theme of "poverty alleviation" has emerged in an endless stream, and there have been many excellent dramas with double harvests, such as this rural drama "On the Field of Hope" by Cao Jun, An Yuexi, Luo Gang and Zhao Liang, which allows the audience to see a real land, a story full of blood and sweat, and a group of poverty alleviation cadres full of blood and hard work.
Among them, Zhang Nan, the captain of the Baiguo Village Poverty Alleviation Team played by Cao Jun, is definitely the one that can most impress the audience.
Zhang Nan (Cao Jun), who came out of a small mountain village, has the biggest dream of finding a good job in a big city after graduating from a master's degree and taking his parents over to enjoy the blessings.
But an investigation report of Baiguo Village Primary School, which was assembled by the tip of his pen and widely disseminated, aroused the dissatisfaction of local superiors, and in just twenty-four hours, Zhang Nan experienced threats and house arrest from public officials, and after escaping, he was even more determined that he would never return to Baiguo Village to work.
But the weather was unpredictable, just after Zhang Nan received the admission news from a well-known company, the news that his mother had oral cancer gave him a blow. Coupled with the fact that the parents did not pay medical insurance because they saved money, the high cost of surgery made the already overstretched family into despair.
In the past, he was not only a role model for all the students in the village, but also the object of all the relatives competing to establish a good relationship, but when Zhang Nan went door to door to find these relatives to borrow the operation fee, these relatives who were particularly kind in the past changed their faces.
The cousin ridiculed his family affection for the importance of the renminbi, and the second uncle laughed at their family behind their backs as unlucky ghosts.
Zhang Nan, who has just graduated, has suffered a series of major blows in a short period of time, which has also made his attitude towards Baiguo Village more and more complicated.
It can be said that if it were not for the fact that the leaders of the Education Bureau had made up for the 80,000 yuan of surgery fees missing from Zhang Nan's mother's surgery because of the talent introduction, Zhang Nan, who may have fallen into a desperate situation, would really have moved bricks and sold blood to try all means to make up money, and from then on, no matter how good or bad her mother's condition was, she would never step into Baiguo Village for half a step.
Zhang Nan received the 80,000 yuan of "talent introduction subsidy" from the leader of the Education Bureau, which was particularly well filmed, and he did not compromise all the life-saving money handed over by the leader, but calmly said that he only worked in Baiguo Village for five years.
The audience from the perspective of God has long known that there is no "talent introduction subsidy" at all, and all the money is actually used by the leaders of the Education Bureau to subsidize, so a comparison shows that Zhang Nan is a bit arrogant and "does not know what to do".
However, it is such a short plot that makes the role of "Zhang Nan" more three-dimensional, and Cao Jun's acting skills highlight the unwillingness and compromise of "Zhang Nan". For the Baiguo Village where he grew up, Zhang Nan's heart is complicated, he not only hates the unreasonable villagers here, but also expects all this to be changed in his heart, so after he enters Baiguo Village as a poverty alleviation working group, he will do his best to do every job.
Just like on the hot search, a fire cut off the water source of Baiguo Village, the villagers' water problems planted grain can not be normal irrigation, the only suitable for digging wells and Zhang Nan's family has a "blood sea deep vendetta", Zhang Nan in order to persuade the villagers to relocate at the expense of kneeling twice.
This is actually a foreshadowing buried by the director at the beginning, Baiguo Village has always had difficulties in using water, when Zhang Nan was young, his mother had a conflict with others in order to fetch water, and she killed people and went to prison, Zhang Nan grew up in the scornful eyes of the villagers, which is also the fundamental reason why Zhang Nan is reluctant to return to Baiguo Village.
He didn't want to see anyone repeat the tragedy of nineteen years ago because of the water problem, so Zhang Nan was willing to give up his self-esteem and kneel down to plead.
I have to say that this section of Cao Jun's performance is really too good, just by seeing the tears in his eyes, you can feel his inner patience and pain, and the determination to do whatever it takes to solve the problem makes the audience off the screen also follow the red eyes.
After that, because of the water problem, Zhang Nan had to face the family whose mother had accidentally killed him, the enemy family was particularly red-eyed, Zhang Nan once again opened up, at this time Zhang Nan's eyes were firm, he could finally let go of the unpleasant memories of his childhood and reconcile with himself.
If you want to ask what a good actor is, I think in the play "On the Field of Hope", Cao Jun used his acting skills to give a high score answer.
Of course, the success of "On the Field of Hope" is not the credit of Cao Jun alone, the scene layout in the play, the interpretation of the extras and small actors are very real, the unreasonable villagers, the children who are eager to study, the village secretary who is only for themselves, every role has flesh and blood, and really restores to us, the living environment of people in poor areas, and people's self-isolation affected by the environment.
It's just a pity that this good drama has been buried.
