Inhabiting the movie is reassuring
The hottest domestic drama in the opening year is none other than "Crazy", which just ended this week.
The Douban score rushed to 9.1 at the highest, from the discussion of the story/character itself to various entertainment memes and hot search topics, all of which pushed the popularity of "Crazy" to the peak.
The gripping plot and chewy characters make this story of "desperate fishmonger" + "sweeping black storm" open up a new situation for domestic crime dramas.
At the same time, the drama also brought fire to pig's foot noodles, "Sun Tzu's Art of War" and other peripherals, "Read "Sun Tzu's Art of War", Pin Qiqiang Life" has become a popular meme at the beginning of the year.
In addition to the screenwriter and director, the success of "Crazy" also depends on the superb acting skills of the actors.
The reputation and popularity of starring Zhang Yi and Zhang Songwen have taken this to another level, and even actor Lin Jiachuan, who plays the supporting role Tang Xiaolong, sighed: After many years of filming, he tasted the taste of "red" for the first time.
The supporting actors who tasted this taste because of "Crazy", is it not only Lin Jiachuan?
"Strong sister-in-law" Chen Shuting's actor Gao Ye is also a treasure actor who is loved by countless audiences
In the play, Chen Shuting's ex-husband Bai Jiangbo and current Gao Qiqiang are both bigwigs in Jinghai City, so there is a saying that "whoever the sister-in-law marries is the eldest brother".
Gao Ye's interpretation of this role is full of independent femininity that kills decisively, and is fully recognizable.
In the past 12 years since the film, she has appeared in dozens of roles (but almost all of them are supporting roles), and has made a prominence in the industry, returning to Cheng Er's film debut "Border Storm" 10 years ago.
In the film, Gao Yexue, who was born in Jiangsu, speaks fluent Sichuanese, playing the sister of a border anti-drug policeman, although she is alert by nature, she was kidnapped by a professional killer (played by Yang Kun) living next door, and was suffocated by the killer by covering her head with plastic wrap.
In order to present a real state of suffocation, during the shooting, Gao Ye took the initiative to extend the time of wrapping his head in plastic wrap, and communicated with the staff for a distress gesture.
But the continuous suffocation made Gao Ye confused, she failed to make gestures as agreed, almost causing a tragedy on the set, but fortunately timely CPR surgery allowed Gao Ye to retrieve a life (Sun Honglei later complained for Gao Ye because the "Border" poster did not sign her name).
This desperate dedication stems from her love of acting. From Gao Ye's past life experience, it can be seen that acting is her truly beloved professional identity.
Born into a wealthy merchant family, Gao Ye was an only child and was cultivated from an early age, including rhythmic gymnastics, ballet, painting, etc., and she also won the first prize in the artistic gymnastics competition in Changzhou, her hometown.
In the sixth grade of elementary school, Takaba had the idea of becoming a star, and the positioning from "star" to "actor" was in the third year of high school.
Therefore, she was admitted to the 2006 acting class of Beijing Film Academy and became classmates with Zhu Yilong and Peng Guanying, and her class teacher was Cui Xinqin, a star mentor who brought Chen Kun, Huang Xiaoming and others.
In his junior and senior years, many classmates had already started filming, but Gao Ye did not find an opportunity.
In self-questioning, Gao Ye did not sit idle, but constantly enriched himself and prepared for opportunities by reading books, watching movies, watching dramas, exercising, etc.
In 2010, she starred in the ethical drama "Please Tell Me a Panic". This drama with a small three-themed theme has been controversial, but it also represents Gao Ye's official entry into the film and television industry.
In the same year, Gao Ye was "electrocuted" for the first time, playing a young nurse in the romantic film "Hawthorn Tree Love" directed by Zhang Yimou.
After that, she starred in "Border" as the second actress.
Compared with later appearing in film and television as a mature woman, Gao Ye in "Border" is more youthful and life-like, and closer to her daily state in private. But at the same time, her daring to love and hate and rational temperament in the film were unified in most of the roles she later played.
For more than two years after that, except for playing a very partial role in the spy war drama "Oath of This Life", Gao Ye never got any acting opportunities, mainly because she had no agent at that time.
Therefore, the appearance of agent Li Yang is of great significance to Gao Ye.
In Takahba's own words, it was the agent who pulled her out of the trash heap and told her, "Don't forget that you are a piece of gold."
Next, Gao Ye starred in "Forty-Nine Days Festival", "Life and Death Blood Talisman" (directed by Guan Hu), and "Hanging with Your Heart" produced by Er Dongsheng. Pursuing the credo of "no small roles, only small actors", she can be described as quite desperate to play a good role.
The hostess in "Hanging with a Heart"
Filming "49th Day Festival", Gao Ye specially learned the Jiangnan minor tune, wrote a 6,000-word character biography for the character Chunchi (similar to the dusty woman in Zhang Yimou's "Jinling Thirteen"), and suffered from gastroenteritis due to rain and drinking muddy water during filming.
Filming "Kyushu Sea Muyun", Gao Ye not only spent months learning to ride horses and archery in order to play the female leader of the tribe, Suqin Ziyan, but also in a scene where he was just a background board, he froze for a day and a night, resulting in a serious knee injury, and finally was carried off the set on a stretcher.
His love for acting, the spirit of hardship, and the contacts of his agent made Takaba usher in an explosive period of performance opportunities.
Since 2018, she has successively starred in many topical hot dramas such as "Chang'an Twelve Hours", "Detective Chinatown", "I Am Yu Huanshui", "Crime Hunting Guide" and so on, and her gorgeous, amorous and energetic female image has gradually left its mark in the hearts of the audience.
Although Gao Ye's characterization depends on a lot of homework she has done and her clumsy energy that is not afraid of hardship, there are actually many light and eye-catching moments in her performance.
For example, in "Crime Hunting Guide", Gao Ye plays Chu Yingzi (prototype is Lao Rongzhi), a death row prisoner who carries several lives, because she wants to see her beloved, she bites her finger and smears blood on her lips instead of lipstick, and instantly catches the blood-soaked fragrant mind of the desperate female prisoner.
Many of these performance moments are designed by Takaba himself based on his understanding of the characters.
In "Crazy", there is a scene where Chen Shuting teaches Gao Qiqiang on the street, and the performance method in the script is to slap him, but Gao Ye, after asking the director's consent, changed it to tighten Gao Qiqiang's neck with a belt.
Gao Ye said in the interview that she has been thinking about how to make the combination of Chen Shuting and Gao Qiqiang emotionally logical in a very short period of time. This scene is a key point, and the use of slowly winding belts can create a subtle sexual tension that can quickly heat up the relationship between men and women.
In Gao Ye's understanding, Chen Shuting is not a "big guy's woman", she herself is a big guy.
Chen Shuting dares to love, dare to hate and dare to give, the goal is clear and firm, and she is very wise, and this understanding is also carried over to Gao Ye's makeup design for Chen Shuting.
She deliberately avoids the gentleness and delicacy of Japanese and Korean makeup in order to eliminate the usual "flattering" ingredients in women's makeup.
This treatment not only fits Chen Shuting's character characteristics, but also quickly swept the Internet, causing many female audiences to imitate makeup.
The popularity of "Crazy" and the appearance of the role of sister-in-law are bound to bring more opportunities to Gao Ye, who began to dream of being a shadow queen more than 10 years ago, and now she still insists on the road of acting.
Xiao Wan looks forward to the day when she jumps out of the "supporting role curse" and gets the role of the female number one and becomes a stunning heroine.
