The plot development of the hit drama "The Road of Life" has come to a reversal, Gao Garin, who was previously in love with Liu Qiaozhen, fell in love with Huang Yaping due to a change of heart, and began to examine the gap between himself and Liu Qiaozhen, for his own future, he finally chose to give up this relationship.
Especially the scene of the breakup also made it difficult for the audience to suppress their urge to scold Gao Garin, who was originally the abandoned party, but Gao Garin still chose to push the burden of the breakup to the soft-hearted Liu Qiaozhen, so that she fulfilled herself with pain, so even if she was broken up, Liu Qiaozhen was smiling strongly with tears in the end.
The same is the scene of the breakup, when changing an object, Gao Garin still did not change his scumbag attributes, when facing the intellectually elegant Huang Yaping, he secretly pushed the reason for the breakup to the other party, saying that Huang Yaping grew up in a big city and could not adapt to rural life at all, even when the other party asked whether he was reluctant to give up himself, Gao Garin was only concerned about him, and never gave an accurate answer.
Two breakup scenes, when facing different objects, Chen Xiao showed two different states on Gao Garin, when he faced the simple and innocent Liu Qiaozhen, he could show obvious reluctance and regret, but there was a sense of firmness that wanted to chase the light, but when he broke up with Huang Yaping, it did not make the audience feel pity, but it was like a relief from solving the burden.
Of course, Chen Xiao also understands that Gao Garin's actions are scumbags, and in the past domestic dramas like this kind of role, it will definitely be complained about by netizens, so Chen Xiao, who is bursting with a desire for survival, specially said on Weibo that he can accept all the accusations of the audience, but the audience's painting style is not preset as excited, perhaps related to Chen Xiao's high appearance, after all, no one can say no to such a scumbag and su handsome guy.
However, in addition to appearance, "The Road of Life" brings Chen Xiao the biggest bonus, is to successfully let the audience feel his acting skills, before mentioning Chen Xiao's name, the audience's first reaction is that his appearance is very handsome, and the fit for ancient costumes is very high, but this work proves that he is actually a powerful person delayed by appearance.
The role of Gao Garin is completely different from the male protagonist image in previous domestic dramas, there is no strong protagonist halo, some are just his bumpy and ups and downs in life, but compared to the thin image of the tall person, such a role is fuller and more three-dimensional.
Growing up in the countryside, Gogarin studied hard and wanted to get out of the land with knowledge. But fate joked with him again and again, first failing the college entrance examination, then the teacher was removed, and even the position of journalist did not end well. Such a ups and downs of life is a test of the actor's acting skills. Fortunately, Chen Xiao held it.
Before the college entrance examination, Gao Garin was spirited, firm in his eyes, with goals and ideals.
However, because of the disappointment in mathematics in the college entrance examination, he lost some of his confidence. When filming the Gao Garin rainy night collapse scene, you can feel Chen Xiao's acting skills, in fact, before the official start of filming, he has been silently brewing emotions, and after the official start of filming, he completely collapsed emotionally, and his resentment and unwillingness to fail the exam were played into three points, and this collapse scene also made the audience feel his explosive power as an actor.
Learned that his companion Gao Shuangxing High School, but he "fell off the list" and sat alone in front of the doorway, the whole person was lonely and decadent.
And when he made up his mind to become a private teacher, there was light in his eyes, he taught from the perspective of children's language, and he saw new hope from children. In particular, after his article "A Child's Dream of Reading" was published, he waved his hands on the roof and shouted "Gogarin's article is published", expressing his excitement and happiness through a few actions.
However, when his teacher evaluation suddenly changed, a student was injured while studying abroad, and he lost his position as a teacher. At this time, his eyes were tearful and his mood was low. Unlike failing the college entrance examination, this time he was unwilling and helpless.
In addition to his career, Chen Xiao's performance in dealing with feelings is also very delicate. When he was a farmer in the village, he fell in love with Qiao Zhen, and their relationship was pure, but he could see the inequality between their feelings. He is an intellectual, and Qiao Zhen is just an illiterate villager, and you can see that he likes Qiao Zhen, but he has a sense of distance.
When Gogarin went to work in the county, the relationship between the two officially had problems. Especially when Gao Garin and Yaping went to Xi'an to study, you can see his dislike of Qiaozhen from the look in their eyes. When Gao Garin gave Qiao Zhen a red silk scarf, Qiao Zhen put it on with an excited look and asked "Does it look good", Gao Garin said "good-looking", but his eyes showed mixed emotions.
When his parents proposed that the two should marry as soon as possible, Gogarin used his career as an excuse to hide his weakness. In this performance, Chen Xiao's tone was high and emotional, allowing the audience to substitute the psychology of the character at once.
And in the face of the enthusiastic and beautiful Yaping, Gao Garin was restrained at first, but he couldn't help but be attracted to her, preparing candy snacks for her and taking pictures of her.
When he learned that Yaping was going back to Shanghai and wanted to start a family with him and transfer back to Shanghai, he hesitated, on the one hand, the illiterate Qiao Zhen, and on the other hand, Yaping, who was like-minded with him. On the one hand, there is a life that can be seen at a glance, and on the other hand, there are better prospects. In the end, Gogarin chose the latter.
It can be said that the role of Gao Garin should be the most complex and controversial male role in domestic dramas in recent years, but has more room to play, and Chen Xiao happens to be a "high-performing and bold" actor, when he first received the script, he understood that this role would be controversial, but he dared to try, so that the audience could see an unlikable but real male character.
Of course, Chen Xiao is not an impeccable actor, he also has shortcomings in performance, such as his language ability is not very strong, mainly because his natural voice is not thick enough, but he has several more prominent characteristics, which are incomparable to other male actors, such as his performance is very delicate, physical control is strong, and empathy is also very strong.
In the past two years, Chen Xiao's career has ushered in a new turning point. A "Menghualu" in 2022 will let the audience see an iron-faced selfless and delicate Gu Qianfan. In "Ice Rain and Fire", he is a gangster again, looking at Wu Zhenfeng, who is fake and fierce but has faith. And Gogarin in "The Road of Life" is another talented, but with scumbag attributes. The three roles are completely different, and Chen Xiao supports these roles with his acting skills.
