You can act without lines, and you can also act until you are praised by CCTV, interpreting the mother-in-law, Song Dandan is absolutely amazing!
Some time ago, actor Liu Yijun posted a strange blog post.
The blog post has nothing to do with the scenery and cares about the situation, only short numbers:
Do not explain. Stand upright, get beaten!
What happened to him?
It turned out that he was "apologizing" for his role.
In the popular domestic drama "Mature Year", Ni Weiqiang, the second son of the Ni family played by Liu Yijun, caused netizens' blood pressure to rise due to personality problems.
After the wife took care of the housework in an orderly manner, the character filed for divorce on the grounds that the "constraints were too heavy", and he wanted to end the 20-year marriage if he did not agree.
Leave, leave, he even pulled the old mother in.
In order to strengthen his will to divorce, he thought that he could not take good care of his mother after the divorce, and he also took the initiative to send his mother to a nursing home.
After completing the formalities, he even had two ears clean, and he didn't care about anything and ran to travel...
This "middle-aged rebellious" posture also caused netizens to output frantically:
Twenty years of marriage and leave? Owe beating!
It's so selfish, it makes me angry to see it!
Angry for the woman, in the blessing does not know the blessing!
But I have to say that although the audience is angry, the hand holding the remote control is very real.
Under the brilliant interpretation of the actors and the fascinating plot, the outside world is more and more addicted to "Mature Year".
Since its launch, the show has not only occupied the first place in the family drama hot list for four consecutive weeks, but also dominated the ratings list for many days when it landed on the prime time of Central One.
In fact, the popularity of "Mature Year" is rising, and you can guess the clue from the cast.
The three generations of the Ni family presented from the main perspective of the plot are all recognized as film and television actors.
The head of the old Ni family, Mrs. Ni is played by national first-class actor Cao Cuifen. The 79-year-old actor is very interested in the interpretation of the image of the "warm old mother".
Mrs. Ni went down, Song Dandan and Zhang Guoqiang formed a family of eldest sons with a tight life, and their poor and happy posture was also very vivid.
The second brother and sister-in-law played by Hao Lei and Liu Yijun form an elite family with a detached appearance, and the middle-aged emotional crisis is full of pictures.
Coupled with the older sister played by Wang Ou, the main team of the Ni family is composed of these national-level acting schools, which can't help but strengthen the expectations of the outside world.
From a production point of view, the intentions of the director team also add a lot of points to the work.
Throughout the play, Hao Lei's second sister-in-law has a fashionable short hair style and various professional suits, highlighting the character's high-level elite temperament.
Coupled with the exquisite details of the decoration of the residence, table decoration and other details, the characters are set up more stable.
And the eldest family with poor economy, from the daily service road to the crowded set of home details, all present the difficulties of working families in a realistic style.
Not vain and real enough, which is also a major external plus of the show.
The external conditions are satisfactory, and what is even more eye-catching is the deep digging of the plot core of the entire work.
In Bluestone's view, it has three remarkable core highlights.
01, enough to be on top, the three "angry" roles are hotly discussed
I have to say that "Mature Year" was filmed very realistically.
This refers not only to the set of the scene, but also to the character persona.
This can be seen from the three characters in the play who have become "targets of public opinion".
In the Ni family, the distinct shortcomings of these three people caused complaints, and people faintly found real-life examples.
The first one, the second brother Ni Weiqiang played by Liu Yijun.
His infuriating thing is - excessive ego.
In the plot, this high-ranking intellectual often makes choices based on self-centeredness.
He has been married to his wife for 20 years, and there are no insoluble contradictions and conflicts in the marriage relationship between the two, but he unilaterally filed for divorce on the grounds of "being too tired".
When the woman tried to communicate to save the marriage, the second brother's roaring speech directly terminated the conversation.
However, it is not difficult for careful viewers to see that every time Ni Weiqiang loses his temper,
There are involuntary trembling and loss of control, as if there is an emotional problem.
Even a glamorous and decent professor, but the collapse of adults is like an avalanche,
Once the stress exceeds the threshold of patience, emotions can pour out uncontrollably.
Fortunately, Wei Qiang returned home a few months after his departure, his sick and uncontrolled emotions were healed, he rediscovered the meaning of life, and he also saw Chunmei's dedication and slowly assumed family responsibilities.
With the assistance of his son Ni Sinan and the old lady, Weiqiang began to chase his wife for a long time.
But the feelings of middle-aged people are always subtle and restrained, let's cheer for Wei Qiang together!
the second, Wang Yanlin as Ni Jun, the Ni patriarch;
His infuriating point is that he is too "selfless" and unresponsible.
As the only son of the Ni family, he has been obedient to his mother's words since he was a child and lacks opinion.
When his daughter-in-law and her mother were estranged, he who should have acted as a bridge of communication was instigated at a critical moment.
The posture of that costumed ostrich makes people look really angry.
Even if he jumps out of the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, Ni Jun is also this unresponsible posture.
When he meets his father who delivers food at dinner with colleagues, he even pretends not to know.
Ni Jun, who was not responsible in this way, even the actor himself posted a complaint.
The last one is the sister-in-law of the Ni family played by Song Dandan.
Her anger lies in the "philistine" who is full of careful thinking.
Her "little calculations" can be seen in her words and deeds, eyes and posture.
In the face of the problem of family property distribution, she will urge her honest husband to fight for it, and will also secretly beat her sister-in-law to move out of the old house early at the family banquet.
Even in her relationship with her neighbors, she can see her strong character that does not want to be aggrieved.
And in the handling of the relationship with her daughter-in-law, her "little calculation" is also obvious.
After the mother-in-law used most of her life savings to buy a house for her daughter, the sister-in-law of the Ni family thought that the other party wanted to snatch her son away from her.
A good thing that was supposed to be the best of both worlds ended with the sister-in-law's face and leaving.
Subsequently, she has always been shrewd and once coerced her son, asking her daughter-in-law to write her son's name on the house book.
And Ni Jun, who has soft ears, did this, which undoubtedly made the blood pressure of netizens soar.
Judging from the feedback of netizens, Song Dandan's image of a "middle-aged woman" full of careful thinking is very vivid.
From another perspective, the audience is angry when they see it, which is also a portrayal of the actors' superb acting skills.
02. Warm enough, the core of family warmth is everywhere
Objectively speaking, the angry plot of "Mature Year" is very topical.
But the reason why this work is popular" is not only because it is "angry".
At the core of the plot, the director team has a longer-term idea.
Behind the superficial family life, the core of warmth is more touching.
With home as a bond, the story of the old Ni family is more of a warm picture that touches people's hearts.
What touches people's hearts is the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of Mrs. Ni and her second sister-in-law;
The two are not biological mother and daughter, but they are more like the relationship between mother and daughter, which is moving.
After the second brother filed for divorce, Mrs. Ni did not hesitate to stand on the side of her daughter-in-law and summoned the whole family to fight against the second brother.
Even if her son "has made up his mind", Mrs. Ni's phrase "I will always be your daughter" deeply warms her daughter-in-law.
And the second sister-in-law paid infinite sincerity and patience to her mother-in-law.
After her mother-in-law was sent to the nursing home, the second sister-in-law, who could not be relieved, cried and took her mother-in-law home.
Although she has divorced her second brother, she still insists on taking care of her mother-in-law and also hires a nanny for the old lady at her own expense.
This textbook-level "good Chinese mother-in-law" is extremely moving.
What touches people's hearts is also Mrs. Ni's motherly heart of "not dragging down children";
In the early plot, the elderly with Alzheimer's disease were once admitted to a nursing home in order not to increase the burden on their children.
But in the face of the eldest son's bitter persuasion, the old lady refused with seemingly tough but heart-warming words:
You will die this heart, and my mother will not go back with you.
Mom can't be a burden to you, and I don't cause you trouble, which is the greatest contribution.
Mrs. Ni's affectionate speech, the eldest son couldn't help but moisten his eyes, and he could only lower his head to prevent his mother from finding out.
This warm dialogue between mother and son also touched many netizens.
More netizens sent a barrage saying that this scene cried 41-year-old self.
What touches people's hearts in this drama is also the self-reflection of some characters.
Even the angry characters mentioned above will make changes for the sake of the family.
The "angry sister-in-law" played by Song Dandan is typical.
After her son and daughter-in-law quarreled due to house problems, and even made a divorce, the sister-in-law who realized her problem took the initiative to find her daughter-in-law to talk, and even apologized to the other party.
After hearing that her own mother was suffering from cancer, she was always shrewd and directly took out her 10,000 yuan to give to her daughter-in-law for emergency relief, and expressed her willingness to help take care of it.
Although there are constant trivial matters at home and outside, the kindness in the character's bones is fully reflected in this moment.
Piggyback mention, although Song Dandan's role in the play is not likable enough, this time, I want to speak for the actors.
In the case that she can act without script, her interpretation of "middle-aged woman in the city" is really accurate.
Even if she doesn't read the script and only relies on improvisation, she can still grasp the characteristics of the character freely, and she is worthy of being a "line expert" evaluated by CCTV.
And such a realistic and realistic performance also convinced countless netizens:
The city characters are brought to life, and I have my mother's sense of sight!
The acting is very real, although he loves to take advantage and nag, but he is kind in nature.
Teacher Song Dandan deserves five stars, it's great!
03. Realistic enough to take the most realistic social group portrait
Opening the comment area of "Mature Year", Qingshi was attracted by such a comment - this work can be regarded as a documentary.
As netizens said, the film's portrayal of social group portraits is indeed very real.
The Ni family has lived for three generations of different ages, allowing us to easily find the shadow in life.
The eldest family of the Ni family faces the troubles of working families.
Due to economic constraints, they had to squeeze together as a family of four, and even "bunk beds" appeared in the room.
Under such economic conditions, the Ni family's eldest brother who gets up early and delivers takeaways in the dark, and his sister-in-law's calculating personality is also understandable.
Issues closely related to family costs, such as marriage rooms and having children, will also be reminiscent of real-life families.
The second family of the Ni family made many middle-aged couples think.
They look respectful on the outside, but they have problems due to the "excessive imbalance of the proportion of paying" in the relationship.
One is unreservedly giving, the other feels "controlled", and the dilemma of the siege of the two is thought-provoking.
The third sister played by Wang Ou makes people feel the new concept of marriage of contemporary young people.
Although she has been single for many years, her courageous attitude to enter marriage after meeting a popular candidate is touching.
In addition, a series of problems caused by the Ni family's old lady suffering from Alzheimer's disease have also triggered discussions on the issue of elderly support.
Around the plight of the characters in the play, many issues closely related to real life followed.
In the main plot, the characters' troubles about the cost of living, marriage relationships and other troubles always exist, and there is no goldfinger plot to clear the trouble with one click.
The director did not deliberately make the story go in the direction of beauty or sadness, but more real and closer to life.
The bitterness of the Ni family in front of the camera is also a true portrayal of you and me in reality.
While inevitably being frivolous, the Ni family is warming each other and growing up in problem after problem.
Such a style could not be more appropriate to describe as "warm realism".
The design is just right to photograph you the most real family life, but the tone will not make you lose hope.
Nowadays, with the deepening of the broadcast cycle, the popularity of "Mature Year" has gradually increased.
Whether it is the score of breaking 8 or eye-catching rating data, it shows its explosive attributes.
And this also highlights that in 2023, when the domestic drama stage is full of flowers, the family theme has not fallen.
This "Mature Year" also brings us the warmest family taste through the shell of the family drama.
