A "Daming Silk Case under the Microscope" once again pushed Zhang Ruoyun to the cusp. He was jokingly called "Zhang Wuji" by netizens, and because of the hit dramas that "just dig holes and don't fill pits", he was constantly taken out by netizens to say things.
Such as "Heartless Mage" in 2015, "Forensic Qin Ming" in 2016, "Qing Yu Nian" in 2019 and "Sword in the Snow" in 2021.
Almost every film has Zhang Ruoyun's wonderful performance, and let a vote of fans knock on the bowl and beg him to star in the second part.
Maybe it's because of growing fame, or maybe it's out of commercial hype.
In any case, whenever Zhang Ruoyun's new drama is broadcast, there will be a personal criticism of him.
Of course, the objective evaluation of any public figure is that every public figure should be conscious and mentally prepared.
Whether praise or criticism, you should humbly listen and absorb the valuable nutrients.
As a person who has never had contact and understanding of Zhang Ruoyun, "The Silk Case of Daming under the Microscope" is the first time I know or see a work starring Zhang Ruoyun.
When I finished watching episode 7 "The Silk Case of Daming under the Microscope", I felt a little disgusted by those simple and baseless comments that Zhang Ruoyun had no acting skills.
Because it's not the truth I see, and it's not all I see.
First of all, whether a TV series is good or bad is not determined by one person or several people.
This is a collective creative process, and the overall level may even be affected by a stitch in the prop hand.
Secondly, the acting skills of an actor in the play are not fully reflected in one moment and one place.
The psychology and behavior of the characters may need to be carefully studied and tasted in length spanning more than a dozen episodes.
In particular, some TV series that are accustomed to frequently using interpolations to tell the life of characters in coherent stories.
Once some flashback shots are not paid attention to or forgotten, it is likely to cause a huge deviation in the understanding of a character.
Just like the character setting pointed out at the beginning of "Counting Nerd", although it is very graphic and in line with the general cognition of this category in that era.
But in the eyes of most viewers, if you misunderstand "nerd", you will misunderstand the character and even the actor himself.
What is a "nerd"?
Simply put, Shuai Jiamo, played by Zhang Ruoyun, is a nerd who can only count and only knows how to count.
He is almost good for nothing but arithmetic.
Whether it is dealing with people or thinking deeply, it is like a teenager or even younger child.
Even because of his adult appearance, it may cause a sense of disgust and nausea.
Because almost all of his actions have greatly exceeded the requirements and norms of people's behavior of that era.
But is that really the case?
For the understanding of a person like Shuai Jiamo, we should perhaps jump out of the framework of antiquity and plot.
With the modern society's understanding of this category, in fact, Shuai Jiamo can be regarded as an out-and-out genius teenager.
But he could not be a man like Aristotle, Leibniz, Newton, Leonardo da Vinci, and so on.
Shuai Jiamo is more like a genius with absolute ability in a certain field, such as Einstein, Zhang Ailing, Stephen Hawking, Mozart and so on.
Among these people, IQ is the key to their difference from ordinary people, and it is also the culprit for their difference from ordinary people.
Unlike polymaths, who are extremely balanced in all respects, because one side shows superior superiority, it loses much to support such advantage in many, if not all.
So from a certain point of view, polymaths are not geniuses, and those who only excel in a certain field can be considered geniuses.
Just like Zhang Ruoyun's handsome Jiamo, he is a genius who gave up most of his life to achieve arithmetic ability.
PS: Writing here, maybe some reminders for some parents who fantasize all day that their children are geniuses or prodigies.
Not everyone has the opportunity to become a genius, and becoming a genius comes at a price, some extremely terrible and tragic costs.
In some studies of the human brain, it is almost confirmed that it is impossible for humans to have a perfect "superbrain".
So when you want to become a strong person and a genius in a certain field, you have to make concessions in other aspects, and these concessions are likely to be the price of your life's suffering.
These costs are the price of genius.
They will giggle when they shouldn't laugh, they will do something unusual and unusual, and they will even be sent to a mental hospital because of a nervous system disorder.
And this is only the welfare and treatment that modern people will have.
With the support of modern science, it has been found that most of them can do it without forgetting, and the IQ is far higher than that of ordinary people.
Almost every one of them suffers from mental illness, which leads to sensory association disorders and even autism.
Just like the world-recognized genius Einstein, although he has an enviable IQ of 160, he has proposed many theories of relativity that have not been studied and interpreted until now.
However, such a genius suffers from severe language impairment and dyslexia.
There is only a thin line between genius and nerd
"Genius and madman go hand in hand, and from genius to madman is only one step away", this famous quote comes from the poet John Dryden.
At the same time, Aristotle, the world's recognized philosophical master, had a similar view.
Newton and Kant both suffered from schizophrenia; Napoleon had epilepsy with Caesar; Goethe and Pushkin suffered from manic-depressive disorder.
Almost all geniuses do not look like a normal ordinary person.
Because of this, geniuses are often more vulnerable than ordinary people.
When their mental state is more fragile than ordinary people, the life of geniuses will inevitably not be happier than ordinary people, and even only miserable than ordinary people.
Because of this, their lives and everything in their lives will not be beautiful and perfect.
Just like the "nerd" Zhang Ruoyun, this genius who has surpassed the number of ordinary people at that time in arithmetic, because of his genius characteristics, so he "does not deserve" to have the peaceful life of ordinary people.
As a regular actor from a professional class, Zhang Ruoyun's acting student source is not long, short is not short.
Since participating in the first TV series "Oath of the Sea" in 2004, Zhang Ruoyun has been on the road of acting for 19 years.
If you take the level of judgment of Shuai Jiamo, Zhang Ruoyun is definitely not a genius in the field of actors.
But at least he's trying to interpret and understand every role he plays.
Today's Zhang Ruoyun has been questioned and criticized by many people in his acting skills because of "The Silk Case of Daming under the Microscope".
Even before the show started, there was already a conclusive evaluation of his performance in the play.
But when the plot progressed to the 7th, when the "nerd" in the play slowly established his own character.
From the author's heart, Zhang Ruoyun is successful in shaping the role of Shuai Jiamo and does not fail his mission.
Maybe Zhang Ruoyun of the 80s is not a genius among actors, and maybe Zhang Ruoyun of the 80s is not an old drama bone that has experienced vicissitudes.
But as an actor, an actor who has been in the industry for 19 years, he almost perfectly interprets the handsome Jiamo in my understanding.
For me, the Shuai Jiamo in "The Silk Case of Daming under the Microscope" and the Shuai Jiamu in the original work are two completely different people.
That is an ordinary military family who knows officialdom and understands human feelings, but this is an autistic person who has great mental problems.
Judging from those handsome memories of childhood flashbacks, this autistic tendency has appeared since he was a child.
Most of the time, he is simply immersed in his own world (or the world of numbers).
This is also why when he was a child, Shuai Jiamo would carry the calculation as his own toy.
This is also why the handsome Jiamo when he was a child would not realize that the home behind him was being engulfed in fire.
Perhaps it is such an interpretation and understanding of "nerds" that has made the handsome Jiamo played by Zhang Ruoyun today.
He habitually gnawed his fingernails, and he would sit there alone in a daze for no reason.
He would be immersed in his own digital world, and he would not be interested in anything other than computing.
Even what made him obsessed with the death of his parents was the four numbers that his father repeatedly mentioned to him.
That's why I saw Zhang Ruoyun who hardly had any "acting skills", a handsome Jiamo who hardly had any facial expressions.
But does the handsome family Mo played by Zhang Ruoyun really have no acting skills at all? The answer is no.
Because in that seemingly dull look, you can see the spirit of a genius who is interested in the only thing he feels.
This spirit is a light that ordinary people do not have, a light that officials and ordinary people will not have, a light that even Cheng Renqing will not emit when he sees money.
When the camera gives a close-up of Handsome Jiamo's eyes widened but expressionless, it is not the seemingly complete lack of acting skills on the surface.
This is a deliberately arranged visual language, when the side face is presented to the audience, when those big round eyes seem godless.
You will find that the left eye with a wound in the corner of the eye will suddenly shake inadvertently.
It is a mental trembling, a physical involuntivity, an unconsciousness caused by the psyche.
As a result, the current plot, you will find that in such an expressionless face, there is actually a lot of content in it.
What's more, such a shaking of facial details is not something that any ordinary person can do at will.
Unless you're born with this ability like a genius, most people still need some training or practice to do it.
Especially when the eyes are wide to that extent, it is not an easy thing for the muscles under the current to shake like this.
Written at the end:
Of course, many people will scoff at Zhang Ruoyun for this author's praise, thinking that this is just a public relations article that received money.
If there is such a good thing, please contact me as soon as possible by major public relations companies, after all, it is naturally a good thing to have an additional income.
But from the bottom of my heart, I still think that not only Zhang Ruoyun has acting skills, but even everyone in the play has acting skills.
As an ordinary audience who does not know acting at all, my knowledge of acting can only be obtained from watching the play.
In my heart, there are no actors without acting skills, only crews who can't film and scripts with wrong logic.
Every actor has his own understanding and interpretation of the characters in the play, and every actor will not want to be the salted fish in Stephen Chow's mouth.
We can disapprove of their efforts, but we should not sneer at their efforts.
At least after I understood the meaning behind the word "nerd."
I have a new understanding and cognition of the character of Shuai Jiamo.
Perhaps when we are prejudiced against a character or character in a play, it is not because the actor's acting skills are insufficient or absent.
It's just that we don't really understand or understand this character.
Is he good, evil, clever, confused, genius or nerd?
Perhaps none of them should be a reason or excuse for us to ridicule actors, after all, they are not geniuses among actors.
