I have been thinking about what the meaning of the title of the TV series "Over the Hill" is, at least not simply named after the new energy vehicle research and development team of "Over the Hill" in the play. Until the last episode of the drama, seeing Bloomberg, who has always been a domineering president-like existence, combing his hair, putting on his glasses, and playing with the children in the welfare home, the tears couldn't help but flow... This little beauty and warmth under the sun may be the place of peace he is looking for.
Bloomberg in "Over the Hill" is played by the powerful actor Liu Xiaohai. For many viewers, Bloomberg in the play will still have a sense of déjà vu but not real trance. In fact, a good actor really does not have too strong recognition, in this play is A, in that play is B, to the new play and become C... He can be all the characters, but he never repeats himself in the work. So, the paradox about good actors arises: are those actors who appear in the work and can make the audience shout out their names, are they good actors? At least, after watching many of the works starring Liu Xiaohai, Zhan Taifeng confirmed that Liu Xiaohai was a "drama throwing face" with thousands of faces.
If nothing else, look at liu Xiaohai's recent works with the public: in "Detective Ke Chen", he is a detective Fang Cheng of the Tianjin Police Bureau who does not talk about personal feelings and handles cases decisively, and the inner gloom and external irritability let us see a contradictory complex that is constantly erupting; in "The Running Age", he is the strange and strange "beggar" Zhou Tie Hammer, which is a treasure man buried by an untrimmed appearance. However, in "Over the Hill", Bloomberg, played by Liu Xiaohai, let us see a completely different domineering president-style man.
Although the character of Bloomberg, from the opening moment, shows everyone his fierce behavior at work, and even the "Roaring Emperor" upper body that breaks out in an instant, such as being able to kick over the objects around him... But with the deepening of the plot, we also see more aspects of him, he is not simple and rough in his work, but has always had his own deeper thinking. Yes, this character is no longer similar to the cookie-cutter "domineering president" in various film and television works, he uses wisdom and strength to return his position and rights, and is not angry when he is silent, but there are a few moments that let people see the delicacy and gentleness of him. This is all due to the actor Liu Xiaohai's in-depth excavation of the character, in order to play this role, he also injected his observation of life and the words and deeds of many friends with similar identities to Bloomberg into this role, so that the character appears more real and credible.
Liu Xiaohai accurately grasped the identity and situation of the character of Bloomberg, after all, as the boss of the group, in more time, representing the image of the enterprise, many things, he can not start from the self, so, by too much involuntary, too much insincerity, whether it is a career, but also including family affection, love, his marriage tragedy with Qianqian, is an example. Leaving aside Bloomberg's decisive killing in business battles, his love world is indeed unsettling. When we have seen bloomberg's iron face, his encounter and love with lawyer Lai Fei'er is indeed a shy and sweet little beauty, this cold-blooded man is using his full love to care for a woman who makes him fall in love, which simply warms people.
Of course, such a person's plot setting in the workplace and the love scene is completely different, it is easy to make a domineering president like Bloomberg feel a sense of personality tearing, but Liu Xiaohai really organically blends the two sides of a person. Because in the whole process of watching the play, I also occasionally saw his true feelings revealed, becoming a small node linking the two temperaments, such as when he and his brother Peng Yue told Ouyang Xialan that he was not the culprit who leaked his grandfather's illness, he and his brother looked at each other and smiled, his arms were tightly wrapped, and without too many words, the brotherhood and affection were "obviously if it is". Liu Xiaohai is very good at capturing the details of the characters presented by emotions and moods, and there is an impressive place, that is, when Bloomberg and his brother talk about their unhappy marriage, he hopes that the two people can have a person to be relieved, at that moment, a tear quietly slipped from the corner of the eye, which is the true expression of this "steel straight man president", but everything is in the seemingly calm expression, without a trace. At that time, I wanted to say that this tear was a tear with acting skills.
Over the hill, over what hill? For Bloomberg in "Over the Hill", there are undoubtedly two big mountains, one of which is the career level, tianguan and the team that crosses the hill, which is the future that he has high hopes for, and at the same time, his love may also be worth pouring his life's efforts. Although we don't know how he spent this day of emptiness and escape during his disappearance after divorcing Qianqian, the return of the critical moment and the help of Ouyang Xialan with his younger brothers and sisters are responsibilities and obligations, and it is also a kind of responsibility. In the welfare home, the smile with the favorite woman Lai Fei'er also instantly continued the dream love. The hill may be a hurdle in our lives, as long as you can rush through, the vision will be more open, and the future will be more exciting.
Crossing the hill, for actor Liu Xiaohai, it may be that role. For a good actor, such a hill is continuous, each challenge, can bring you a new character, behind this super performance plasticity, is the actor put into great diligence and effort. The hills of life may be exchanged for half a life of beauty by crossing one, but the hills of performance are continuous and endless, as long as you want to climb, there is no end to the road ahead. Praise for a "climber" like Liu Xiaohai who constantly surpasses himself and climbs the hills in the field of performance.
