The 2019 First Youth Film Festival broke a controversial news.
At the closing ceremony of the film festival, Haiqing, as the guest of honor, suddenly made an impromptu speech.
She took herself and Song Jia, Ma Yili, Yao Chen and others as examples to frankly explain the universal plight of these middle-aged actresses at present:
No drama to film + forced transformation + difficulty.
Judging from the surprised expressions of Yao Chen, Liang Jing and others at that time, Haiqing's speech was indeed a temporary intention and was not consulted with others.
However, the two actresses generously stood for Haiqing as a sign of solidarity with their colleagues.
However, at that time, Song Jia, who was also present, did not buy Haiqing's remarks.
She laughed and claimed that this view only represented Haiqing's personal position. Then he walked off the stage.
Above the film festival, Haiqing and Song Jia's remarks caused an uproar for a while.
Some people talk about the "girly aesthetic" of Chinese audiences is destroying China's excellent actresses, and some people spit out the "plastic sisterhood" in the entertainment circle between Haiqing and Song Jia.
Let's put aside the old things for the time being today and talk only about the new ones.
Recently, a national drama has just been released, which has triggered a frenzy of public opinion and the ratings have broken 4.
What is more noteworthy is that this drama series is exactly the drama that Song Jia took over from Haiqing to star in - "Little Shede".
From 16 to 19 years, Haiqing's partner Huang Lei has contributed two national drama masterpieces, which have become the clear stream of the summer file.
In 2016, "Little Parting" was released, which immediately became a hot topic of public opinion.
Three students with distinct personalities + three pairs of families with very different ideas formed a "Nakakao ukiyo-e".
Because it is highly focused on the growth of children and family education, this drama series has just been released and has been on the list of family dramas on Douban.
In 2019, "Little Joy" returned, and its influence was even greater than that of the previous work.
It is still the same recipe (led by "Yellow Sea"), or the same taste (directed by Wang Jun), but the focus is upgraded from the middle school entrance examination to the college entrance examination.
The high pressure of education reflects social problems, and children's sorrows and joys affect the nerves of parents. The various famous scenes in the film made parents feel empathy and give the work a high evaluation uncontrollably.
Now, after two years, the final chapter of the "Small" series, "Little Shedd", has returned.
After telling the story of the children's junior high school and high school, the final chapter of this series chooses to "return to the basics" and focuses the camera on the little doll who is about to "rise to the beginning".
At the same time, the heroine of the series is no longer Tong Wenjie, played by Haiqing, but Nan Li, played by Song Jia.
The other big heroine who played against Song Jia in the play was "Huafei" Jiang Xin.
What is more interesting is that Song Jia and Jiang Xin's joint interpretation this time happens to be "plastic sisterhood"!
"Little Shed"
Nan Jianlong (Zhang Guoguo) zhang Luo had a family banquet today.
The Nan family is a family of scholars, and this feast is officially grand, but full of fireworks.
At this time, his wife was still busy in the kitchen, while Nan Jianlong went to the alley early to wait for the arrival of his granddaughter's family.
The eldest daughter Nan Li (Song Jia) and her husband Xia Junshan (Tong Dawei) arrived first with a pair of children.
Both are elites in the design industry and thrive in their respective fields. Xia Junshan and his father-in-law Nan Jianlong were themselves masters and apprentices, and now they are close to each other and have become sons-in-law.
It is often said that the next generation of relatives is really not false at all, and Nan Jianlong is very fond of a pair of children of Nan Li.
In particular, her granddaughter Huan Huan is regarded as a pearl in the palm of her hand by Nan Jianlong.
Arriving behind them are the second daughter Tian Yulan (played by Jiang Xin) and her husband Yan Peng (played by Li Jiahang), and the two of them rushed to the Nan family with their son Zi You.
Careful netizens will surely find out.
The owner of this family is obviously surnamed Nan, so why is the second daughter surnamed Tian?
And this is also the family secret that Nan Jianlong does not want to mention.
Many years ago, Nan Jianlong and his wife divorced because of emotional problems, and his wife gambled for a while, so she took Nan Li out of the house.
The reason why the two divorced at that time was actually precisely because of the intervention of Nan Jianlong's current wife Cai Juying.
Tian Yulan is the child born to Cai Juying and the original match.
Therefore, Tian Yulan and Nan Jianlong are not related by blood, and they are not biological sisters with Nan Li.
For the relationship between these two big heroines,
To say that they are "plastic sisterhood" is too understated, or more precisely, they are sworn enemies!!!
Because of the emotional entanglement of the previous generation, Nanli and Tian Yulan have been in the same situation since childhood.
When they were young, the two compared their grades and appearances;
Grow up two people than career, than family;
Now both heroines have children, and their children have become the target of each other's competition.
Nan Li and her husband are both academic bullies, but they advocate all-round development for the education of their children.
The couple felt that childhood was the most precious, and they did not want their children to become victims of the "education system".
Their daughter Xia Huanhuan is quite outstanding in terms of talent and comprehensive ability, but relatively speaking, the child's academic performance is not ideal.
In contrast, Tian Yulan is more radical about her children's education, and she believes in the "theory of only fractions".
In her eyes, the "beauty effect" of the child's Olympic number trophy is more significant than hyaluronic acid, and her goal is to train her son to become an Olympic champion and send him to a prestigious school.
And Ziyou also lived up to expectations, and his academic performance has always been at the top of the class.
Whenever Nan Li and Tian Yulan met at a family banquet, the two were tit-for-tat and neither of them wanted to fall behind.
And the achievements and trophies of the children often become the swords in the hands of the two big heroines.
This Nan Li had just praised Huan Huan's excellent talent, and Tian Yulan led the topic to the Olympic mathematics competition;
The front foot rejoiced at the banquet to give a song to his grandfather, and the back foot Wasyou was forced by his mother to recite Pi in public.
This dark tide of family banquets has become a competition for the two sisters to fight openly and secretly, and this plot has suddenly turned out the full power of social hot spots such as family disputes, emotional entanglements and children's education.
With such a super powerful beginning, it can be said that it has laid the foundation for the final chapter of this series with "high quality".
And the stunning performance of these two big heroines in the play and outside the play, the tubes are still brushing their own films, take a sneak peek.
As of now, "Little Shed" premiered for one week, and the ratings reached the top.
On the one hand, there are two previous works in the front, and the audience is extremely wide;
On the other hand, this time's lineup is also unprecedented, and it is given high hopes by the audience.
In the film, the two teenagers "Huan Huan" and "Zi You" are old drama bones.
Liu Chutian, the "Little Mi Yue" of that year, has now long since become a young girl
Although Takezawa Kinkiki has just turned 14 years old, his acting career has been exactly ten years.
The interpretation of the two little dolls is smooth and flowing, without any sense of jerkiness, which makes people feel fearsome.
The male characters in the film are the standard "green leaves", and the roles of Tong Dawei and Li Jiahang are slightly solidified.
The two men are both husbands and sons-in-law. Although their mother-in-law is tit-for-tat, the two brothers-in-law are "in agreement".
The character image of the two is similar to that of Fang Yuan in the previous work, and they all belong to the kind of good mr. who knows how to take care of his wife and take care of the old and the young. Although it is not brilliant enough, it can be regarded as a qualified tool person.
And tomato to focus on, or the two heroines.
In this "Little Shed", the characters played by Jiang Xin and Song Jia have very different personalities but are tit-for-tat, because the plot requires, the two have intersections and conflicts in family, children and work.
At the beginning of the film, a rare family banquet is exchanged for the sword of two sisters who are not related by blood.
So the father called his own daughter into the study, and the mother called his own daughter into the kitchen.
When children have contradictions, rational parents always educate their children first.
This kind of drama tomato really feels real and thought-provoking.
Middle-aged parents resist and question the preaching from their parents while lecturing their children.
The reason why Nan Li, played by Song Jia, is unwilling to let her daughter overburden is entirely because she hopes that her daughter will have a good childhood.
The reason for this is that his parents divorced and his childhood was very unhappy.
The reason why Tian Yulan, played by Jiang Xin, desperately wants to make her son stand out, is also because when she was a child, her mother took herself to remarry, and she was poked in the spine wherever she went.
This made Tian Yulan firmly believe that what was spelled out was his own.
Nan Li is rational and tenacious; Tian Yulan is emotionally impulsive;
The two female protagonists happen to be in the familiar role field of Song Jia and Jiang Xin, and their performance not only realizes the "small" series of questions, but also accurately interprets the rich character personality.
However, this seemingly "easy to master" role hides behind the actor's unimaginable efforts.
For Tian Yulan, a mother of "chicken blood parenting", there have been one-sided bad comments on the Internet. Often this kind of bad judgment will produce inertia and affect the actors.
Jiang Xin said in a previous interview that he had created a character who was more "Biao" and "hated" than Huafei this time.
After the release of "Little Shed", she did not forget to send a microblog to blacken herself, saying that the Tian Yulan she played was a "human anxiety manufacturing machine".
In the face of the out-of-control Network violence, I think Jiang Xin also has all kinds of feelings in his heart.
It's just that she chooses to use the professional spirit of the actor to face it calmly, and in addition to self-blackmail and ridicule, she does not forget to help promote the new drama.
And Song Jia, in the eyes of Tomato, is as "stable" as ever.
This kind of stability is not a rule without any breakthroughs, but a deep understanding of the role.
When bathing her son Chaochao, she kisses the child to the extreme; when talking to her father, she acts both anxious and resistant;
When an actor interprets the role in place, you don't feel that she is performing, but that she has become a person in the play.
And Song Jia is a model of this, in her body has a strong plasticity, but you will also find personality and edges, in Tomato's view this is really one of the core criteria for actors to distinguish between good and bad (such as Liang Chaowei).
Watching the two big heroines in front of the camera, Tomato actually felt very deeply.
At least I personally feel that Song Jia and Jiang Xin are sober, and they are focusing on their core competitiveness - acting.
Not long ago, Chen Jianbin's "Eleventh Time" was released in theaters (Song Jia also made a cameo in the film), and many viewers were stunned when they saw Zhou Xun's appearance in the play. The elf girl who was once bright and moving, this time the electric shock actually began to play the big mother.
However, you will find out after being caught by the plot.
Zhou Xun's leadership of the humble woman is equally wonderful, for the sake of her husband's innocence and her daughter's future, she dares to throw around and mess around.
This role is a middle-aged greasy woman who does not hesitate to put down her self-esteem in order to protect her family, and Zhou Xun's performance is not contrary.
Tomato Jun has always believed that actors and stars are not the same kind of "creature".
The former has the real kung fu of "one second into the play, one eye into the soul",
The latter has the heat of the topic and the baggage of idols.
Recently, many female artists are keen to linger in various variety shows, some hope to rejuvenate their careers, and some hope to find traffic.
Although they found a momentary heat in the show, they also showed complete embarrassment under the critical eyes and public opinion of the audience.
Here, Tomato still wants to say.
Although the career path of middle-aged actresses is difficult, I am still more optimistic about Song Jia, Jiang Xin and Zhou Xun, who are deeply rooted in their own fields and can always stay sober.
After all, topics and traffic cannot be passed on, and good works can only be.
