Maybe my pattern is not enough,
Sun Honglei played "Yu Zecheng" very well in "Latent",
But after three brushes, I still prefer those charming villains. Compared with Yu Zecheng, Wu Station Chief, Li Ya, Lu Qiaoshan, Xie Ruolin can resonate more.
Yu Zecheng's growth, some are too smooth, the protagonist aura makes this character have too many "coincidences" after experiencing misfortune,
After all, we all know that the protagonist will not die, and even if he does, his death is also a sublimation of some sadness.
The villain's character does not have so much sublimation, no matter how much it blooms its own light, it always corresponds to the growth of the protagonist.
They either assume the status of tool people like "Ma Kui",
Or take on the role of a tool like "Li Ya" who has a trace of human arc but lacks real depth.
I love the villains of Lurking, not because their choices and positions are right, but because the villains are real.
We can find some kind of resonance in him, or we can find certain characteristics of the times in them.
This is where other TV series find it difficult to match "Latent", "Latent" makes the audience have a dream, dream back to the war years.
Going back in time, how do we decide our destiny? How should we face this absurd life and the world?
If the 4 supporting characters in "Latent", the life of each of their characters are made into movies, I think, it will explode.
01: Lu Qiaoshan played by Wu Gang
When Wu Gang starred in "Latent", he had not yet acted in "The Name of the People", and he was not yet a well-known "Secretary Dakang".
But you will definitely remember the person of Luqiao Mountain.
With a treacherous and sinister face and a knife hidden in a smile, you have no idea what this person is going to do next, this kind of person is terrible.
Luqiao Mountain is extremely self-contained.
He was from Chongqing.
When I came to work at Tianjin Station, I came to cross the Gold Station, which was a fortress for work behind enemy lines during the war and was the center of the intelligence station.
Lu Qiaoshan came here to work gilded for a few years, and returning to Chongqing is the kind of promotion, so Lu Qiaoshan came to Tianjin Station is extremely smooth, and his attitude towards anyone is——
As long as you don't stand in my way to promotion, don't mess with my head, don't get entangled with any of my interests, and make trouble as much as you want.
Wu Jingzhong knew this.
Although Lu Qiaoshan was only the third person in terms of official title, Wu Jingzhong would consciously or unconsciously keep a distance from Lu Qiaoshan, and even at some times would make him sit on an equal footing with himself.
This is not to be afraid of the people behind him, but Wu Jingzhong himself is not willing to cause trouble, and he only cares about his own interests.
For Wu Jingzhong, one less enemy means one more friend, even if this friend will not be used at all in the future.
If there is no accident, the position of the stationmaster is Luqiao Mountain, but the bad is that Luqiao Mountain is still too anxious and selfish.
He wanted the position of station master, and anyone who posed a threat to him was extremely repulsive, but he was either pampered and spoiled, and Lu Qiaoshan was very ambitious, but he had no means.
At a glance, joy and sorrow were written on the face. On the school issue, live ammunition suppressed the students, forcing Yu Zecheng to kill him.
Wu Gang's understanding of Lu Qiaoshan is perfectly interpreted, which does not require any dramatic performance, the actor is the character himself, but how does a small character change?
Movies may give us the answer.
02: Zu Feng played by Li Ya
Li Ya, played by Zu Feng, has always had a lonely hero temperament, so that Zu Feng's scholarly temperament overwhelmed the role itself.
But it is precisely because of this that the role of Li Ya really has a certain connection and resonance with the audience, and even we can say that without Zu Feng's performance, there would be no Li Ya's classic.
The character of Li Ya is a tragic one because of his axis. Firm in faith, working day and night, sleeping in the office. Of course, to put it ugly, the role of Li Ya is foolish.
But Zu Feng's bookish anger gives Li Ya's character some 'idealistic' feelings, he is not a foolish and loyal person, but has become a "nother Yu Zecheng" in many people.
This is an illusion. In fact, Li Ya has never been another version of "idealism" Yu Zecheng, and there are too many differences between him and Yu Zecheng, especially in faith.
The tragedy of Li Ya is not that he stands in the wrong line, but that he is limited and stubborn due to his own backward thinking and foolishness.
Before returning to Tianjin Station, Li Ya, code-named "Buddha Shrine", lurked in Yan'an, lived for several years, and worked as a primary school teacher.
If Li Ya is really as he says, he works diligently just to make his children live a happy life. It was an excuse made up by himself for his foolishness.
He was lying to himself. As an agent lurking inside the upper echelons of Yan'an, the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression was over, and Li Ya knew in his heart how Chongqing and Yan'an treated the people.
Li Ya has been in Yan'an for so many years and has never woken up, which means that Li Ya is a stubborn and ignorant person from beginning to end.
He was different from Yu Zecheng. Yu Zecheng's growth is traceable, a belief established in sacrifice and difficulties, while the growth of Li Ya's faith is almost stagnant.
If Li Ya was really "Yu Zecheng", then he would have taken the initiative to plan and run to Yan'an, instead of returning to Nanjing and returning to Tianjin.
Therefore, the character of Li Ya is not a "rationalist" from the beginning of the shaping, nor is he on the wrong team, but fundamentally he is an extremely ignorant person.
He was unwilling to accept new ideas, nor to think about the future and possibilities of a higher level, and the tragedy of foolishness was doomed.
But why do we still like Li Ya, think he still has romantic feelings, it is Zu Feng's role, which brings some arcs and possibilities to this role.
Why is the real Li Ya ignorant, and what is the root cause of this ignorance? If it is made into a movie, it must be a collision of faith.
03 Xie Ruolin played by Cao Bingkun
The role of Xie Ruolin is probably a sober person in the chaotic world in "Latent", and his casual mouth is a golden sentence making machine.
"In the future, when there is peace, there will be no faith, only money."
"As long as you can't kill me with one shot, I'll come back to life, and I can still do business with you, as long as the price is fair." Capital is inhuman.
"It's all about doctrine in your mouth, it's all business in your heart." Translation: Everyone is out to mix, just talk about money.
But why would such a sober person eventually die unexpectedly in a pit? In the end, Xie Ruolin was simple.
He met the worse and worse people in this society.
You say that he wants money and doesn't want to die, and he can sell everything he has in order to survive, but he has a bottom line, saying one thing and not two.
Yu Zecheng worked behind enemy lines like walking on thin ice, not even daring to speak in dreams, and not daring to sleep directly and completely sleep in the past, while Xie Ruolin's role showed his identity outside at every turn.
The character of Xie Ruolin is dying. "When two strong enemies are fiercely fighting, the weak people who do not measure up to their own strength are inserted in the middle of their swords, and such a thing is the most dangerous."
In fact, this role would have had more drama, because when the screenwriter was laying the groundwork, he had actually confessed that Xie Ruolin also experienced the Anti-Japanese War and his parents were killed by the Japanese army.
What brought xie Ruolin's role to where he is today, what made a patriot into a corrupted businessman.
This question is very critical, and it is also the tragic nature of Xie Ruolin's character itself, but unfortunately, in "Latent", in order to make Yu Zecheng's growth route clearer
The character of Xie Ruolin has been weakened, and he is the same instrumental identity as "Ma Kui", so that there is no place for people to resonate.
But Cao Bingkun's appearance makes this role have too many possibilities, stuttering, rich expression and body language, giving Xie Ruolin's role more character arc.
If the role of "Xie Ruolin" in "Latent" is 60 points, then it is Cao Bingkun's role that makes Xie Ruolin get 90 points.
04: Wu Jingzhong played by Feng Enhe
No one does not like Wu Jingzhong, played by Feng Enhe, even if his role is not much, even in the camera is not better than Li Ya, but perhaps out of the screenwriter's preference, Wu Jingzhong's role has come alive.
But he has a certain temperament of the villain, and Wu Jingzhong's inner temperament is said through language and lines.
"Why did I brazenly knock on Mu Liancheng's bamboo pole, people always say that they want to unload their armor and return to the field, leaving a way back for themselves....
Condensing the will and encircling the leader, I studied these eight words fifteen times, and the result is that people do not serve themselves, and the heavens are damned. ”
"I want to be dismissed, I want to make mistakes, and if I continue to cheat like this, I will deceive myself.
Live, live, I used to be aggressive when I was young, and I was tall, but you see what I have left
Except for aging and the things that have been gained by corruption, it is early to see through and early liberation."
Is Wu Jingzhong greedy? He's also greedy, but does he say he has no faith? He also had faith, but why did his faith collapse?
The question of why a staunch patriot of the National Revolutionary has become a corrupt person is crucial, because he himself hates corruption and hates himself who takes bribes.
But why did he choose to be willing to accept such a self, in the final analysis, after he saw the top level of Nanjing, he felt that there was no hope, he was suppressed and excluded in despair, and he did not believe in new things.
But in fact, these are our interpretations of the role of Wu Jingzhong, and the audience's interpretation of the role of Wu Jingzhong is completely imaginary and learned from the original work.
The TV series has never really introduced the past of this character, leaving Wu Jingzhong with little role in this role, there is no plot to promote him, and it is through the lines to understand the role.
And Li Ya, Lu Qiaoshan, Xie Ruolin, although the story is limited, they always have a story, there are people, and there are plots with antecedents and consequences pushing them.
And Wu Jingzhong does not have a complete story, not even a complete logical line, he is already a complete personality, a complete character.
So that people only know this person through lines, it is precisely because of this, Feng Enhe teacher plays Wu Station Manager, he conquered the audience only through lines and rich expressions.
This really shows the value and charm of the actors, like I said, the stories of these 4 supporting characters, each of which can be made into a movie, because they have too many unspeakable stories.
And these stories all point to a common theme: how Nanjing failed. If it is filmed as the main theme, it will be on fire.
