From the beginning, "The World" attracted me out of curiosity.
The high school Chinese textbook contains a famous modern poem, "This is Beijing at 4:08".
The author index finger writes at the end of the poem:
I waved my arms at Beijing again
Try to grab her by the collar
Then he shouted affectionately to her:
Always remember me, Mom, Beijing
Finally caught something
No matter whose hand he is, it cannot be loosened
Because this is my Beijing
This is my last Beijing
One day in 1968, the index finger left Beijing and went to Fenyang Xinghua Village in Shanxi To join the team.
This poem, which records the separation at that time, reproduces the tearing heart and lungs of "the whistle has been broken".
I wanted to see if there was a scene in "The World" where the index finger had been experienced: someone crying and being carried to a temporary emergency station for rescue.
The intellectuals sang this poem of their index fingers, and after the two girls listened to it, they actually stood in the dark and cried loudly...
With curiosity, I followed the photographic lens of "The World" with great anticipation, looking for the helplessness and sourness, and experiencing the solemnity and suffering of that era.
Chen Daoming's narration opened the prelude to the plot.
Dignified
Five "family portraits", one for each of the five members of the Zhou family.
Looking at his wife and children, Zhou Zhigang was very sad: "This is probably the last group photo of our family!" ”
Zhou Zhigang, a worker on the "third line", was originally a farmer, but fortunately became the first generation of urban people. What he did not expect, however, was that his children could not be "hereditary" in this capacity. Because the movement began, only one child of the Zhou family could stay in the city, and the rest had to "go up the mountain and go to the countryside".
The Zhou family has two sons and a daughter, and the youngest Bingkun is only 17 years old. In those years when it was difficult to deliver information and inconvenient transportation, how could the flesh and blood relatives not be worried and confused?
On the same day, the eldest son, Bingyi, and his father, Zhou Zhigang, had to leave. One he went to a distant corps, one to a strange Chongqing.
Father and son alone will find it difficult to reunite. Because family leave is once every 2 years, when you can go home again, it depends on how the leader arranges. This means that the whole family of five can get together again, which is more difficult than ascending to the sky.
Zhou Zhi Congo is a true word! As it happened, until his death, the Zhou family's "family portrait" was never taken again. Moreover, the Zhou family was reunited again, and it was more than 10 years later.
tangled
Choice is a watershed in destiny.
The people who walked were from then on in the wilderness of the mountains and mountains, and most of them were in the company of livestock in the fields. The city, just the ballad of the old dream, and then want to embrace, need a miracle.
Who goes and who stays, the Zhou family fell into the first entanglement.
Bingyi is the eldest son, and he gives the opportunity to stay in the city to his younger brothers and sisters, and he has an unshirkable responsibility.
Who is the other one? Zhou Rong and Bingkun were both vying to go.
Mother Li Suhua said her pain in one word: ten fingers, which one is not painful to bite!
The aunt of the Qiao family who went to mobilize gave advice: Bingkun go, the boy is safer.
Yes, Zhou Rong is too inviting. No matter what age, it is also risky to look too beautiful, because it is easy for men to worry about.
safety first! Mother Zhou is not unaware. Even if Zhou Bingkun took the initiative to ask for help, Zhou Bingyi also gave a favorable opinion, but Zhou Mother still hesitated.
The decision fell into the hands of his parent, Zhou Zhigang. When he heard his father's decision, Bingkun was completely relieved, and his childish face was full of bright smiles.
Li Suhua's heart ached. Her youngest son is only 17 years old! Bingyi proposed to let his brother follow him. Mom still shook her head, the corps was too far away, and only came home once every two years. The mother cried, and Bingyi couldn't help but cry. Only her ignorant little son still had a brilliant face.
The farewell scene that I was looking forward to finally appeared.
Bingyi, who had a large red flower on his chest, and his father Zhou Zhigang bid farewell at the station with the last companionship of their family.
Who will send it first? Is it Zhou Zhigang, or Zhou Bingyi? The Zhou family began a second entanglement.
His father was old and still had luggage, and Zhou Bingyi asked to send Zhou Zhigang first.
The son is young, carrying the eternal love and worry of his parents, Zhou Zhigang insists on sending his son first.
I had to admire Zhou Rong, she resolved the entanglement with one sentence:
Brother, send you away first. Your car drove for 40 minutes before Dad's car drove. Dad waited in the car early, and his heart was even more uncomfortable.
The pain of separation
Bingyi got up, and the mother shouted behind her, took her hand, took a bag of things from her pocket, and stuffed it into her son: This is the money that the mother has saved herself.
Bingyi took the luggage in his sister's hand, said "Mommy and Daddy", and turned around. After that, the smile disappeared and there were tears in his eyes. He took a big stride and forged forward with determination.
Behind the father, mother, brother and sister, and then the day after tomorrow.
Zhou Zhigang leaned against the car window and stuck his head out, all kinds of emotions, indescribable.
The flute had sounded, and Li Suhua was still standing in front of her husband, unable to bear to say goodbye.
Finally, Zhou Rong, under the support of her younger brother Bingkun, pressed Zhou Zhigang's cheek and gave her father two hot kisses.
The train started, the three members of the Zhou family, Zhou Rong with two twisted braids, Zhou Rong, who was sour, and Zhou Bingkun, who was reluctant to give up, chased the train and ran...
On the top of the snow-capped mountains, a group of intellectuals lined up.
Resolute, determined and handsome, Zhou Bingyi is still dazzling.
But then, with a turn from The Weekly Patriarch, I was frightened!
Oh, my God! Is this a myth? A teenager in his early 20s turned into a middle-aged uncle with obvious eye bags, loose skin, and slight vicissitudes overnight.
Graduated from the Acting Department of the Central Academy of Drama and a national first-class actor Xin Baiqing, he really has good acting skills. As early as 2012, he won the Golden Lion Award for Performance for his drama "Four Worlds Together".
In recent years, it has swept the film industry with works such as "Gu Wenchang", "The Legend of the Demon Cat", "Eight Hundred", "Great Qin Fu", and "The Long Confession".
However, there are some hard injuries, even if the acting skills can not cover up.
The uncle of 49 can play a 79-year-old man. That kind of tiredness can be expressed with acting skills; that kind of aging can be modified with makeup.
However, for the 49-year-old uncle, heavy makeup can not erase the gully on his face, and cannot hide the vicissitudes left by the years. The most prominent is the look in the eyes of the characters.
The three brothers and sisters of the Zhou family, their youthful bodies, unpolished eyes, Zhou Bingyi's perseverance and handsomeness
Zhou Rong's agility and self-confidence
Zhou Bingkun's ignorance and cheerfulness
Feng Xiaotong, Ma Fanding, Jiang Guannan, these three small actors are all in place. But it was quickly replaced by Xin Baiqing, Song Jia, and Lei Jiayin.
Admittedly, their acting skills are indeed great, but the hard wounds of age cannot be covered.
Nowadays, Jiangsu Satellite TV has also begun to broadcast "The World of Man", even if you look back again, it is still a little uncomfortable.
In fact, the large age span of the characters is a problem that film and television productions often have to face.
I still think that the treatment of "Daming Palace Words" is more appropriate.
You see, Zhou Xun's girly version of Taiping, eccentric, vigorous;
The adult version of Chen Hong is feminine and affectionate, but also melancholy and sad, which is in line with the age characteristics of the characters, and is also a reverence for the work and a respect for the audience.
Even looking back now, it is intoxicating.
And the performances of Feng Xiaotong, Ma Fanding and Jiang Guannan in "The World of Man" are all remarkable, why did they replace them too early?
You know, there are some hard injuries, but the acting skills can't cover up.
