Article introduction:
The shaping of a character in film and television works often determines the audience's feelings about the entire story. In "Stalker", Tao Yuling, played by Jiang Xin, plays the image of a village woman, but fails to show a character twist that matches the development of the plot. In contrast, Ye Xingcheng, played by Sun Honglei, became the mad dog city in the audience's heart through a dramatic character arc. This article will explore the differences between the two characters and why a character with an arc is more engaging.
In "Stalker", the audience cannot ignore the role of Tao Yuling. At the beginning, she appeared as a village woman, unabashedly grabbing Fang Jiashu's collar to find a scab, seemingly an inconspicuous rural woman. However, in the restaurant, her acting skills are eye-catching, and the confrontation with Su Yalu makes her present a spicy village woman.
When Ye Xingcheng doubted her identity, her nervousness and fear were on display in front of the audience, but she was able to respond flexibly and kicked Ye Xingcheng out of the house. Her emotions are also reflected in the play, especially in the plot where her loved ones are killed, she tries to hide the pain, but the great sadness in her heart eventually makes her explode completely. It can be said that in playing the role of a village woman, Jiang Xin performed quite well.
However, although Tao Yuling has nothing impeccable in playing a village woman, she seems to be at an impasse in the development of the character. Unlike this, the role of Ye Xingcheng has undergone a huge turn. From the beginning, he seemed to be only interested in two things: pursuing Su Yalu and hating Fang Jiashu. He lived a life of idleness, had no clear beliefs, and seemed completely dependent on his brother-in-law for the throne.
However, when he was slapped in the face by the Japanese in a humiliating battle, he began to show his professionalism and actively seek to rise to the top. His crazy side was exposed, earning him the title of "Mad Dog City". The relationship with Fang Jiashu also changed, he no longer was hostile to Fang Jiashu, but felt relieved by him, because Fang Jiashu ruled out the "cuckoo" identity. This series of changes makes Ye Xingcheng's character image richer and more engaging.
In contrast, Tao Yuling's character does not seem to have undergone a significant turn. She always maintained the image of a village woman and showed no signs of maturity or blackening. In stark contrast, another female character in "Lurking" - Cuiping, played by Yao Chen. She is also a character who goes from a village woman to an enemy-occupied area, but unlike Tao Yuling, she has undergone huge changes.
Cuiping was also a "pig teammate" at the beginning, which brought a lot of trouble to the underground party, and Sun Honglei repeatedly asked to organize a "return", and was even willing to lurk alone. Such a plot is more in line with the logic of spy warfare, rather than Tao Yuling, who is still tolerated by Fang Jiashu while making trouble. Cuiping's character grows more obviously, and she struggles to adjust to her new life, learning to burn her head, wear cheongsam, and even work in intelligence. In order to become Sun Honglei's qualified partner, she learned to read and write, and became his real assistant.
This kind of physical and mental change made Sun Honglei gradually fall in love with Cuiping, and the two became true soul mates. However, Tao Yuling's emotional development is relatively superficial. Her love seems to be a formality, and her relationship with Lao Zhao does not have that deep sense of "like-mindedness". The audience cannot accept her union with Fang Jiashu because this forced marriage lacks resonance. Tao Yuling does not seem to have grown to the extent that she can match Fang Jiashu, and the cognitive level and belief of the two are not "at the same frequency" enough.
Therefore, in "Stalker", Tao Yuling is always a "pig teammate", while Fang Jiashu is smart
Chi's senior agent. The two do not seem to be a good match at the level of identity or soul. In the past, Tao Yuling was "suspended" by Fang Jiashu, who studied abroad, and she could not "remarry" because she lost her lover.
This difference in roles reflects the screenwriter's different orientations in character development. In film and television creation, there is an important concept called "character arc", that is, the character gradually changes with the development of the story, which can be more mature or blackened, thus presenting a dramatic turn. This arc makes the character more attractive and easier for the audience to relate to it.
Ye Xingcheng has done a pretty good job in this regard, and he has gradually transformed from an "incompetent agent" into an aspiring and ambitious agent, even a little crazy. This process makes his character more multidimensional and engaging. On the contrary, Tao Yuling seems to be fixed in the image of a village woman and does not experience obvious character arcs, which makes her characters relatively flat and difficult to deeply resonate with the audience.
Overall, it is difficult for viewers to ignore the differences between the two characters of Tao Yuling and Ye Xingcheng when watching "Stalker". One has no obvious character twists, while the other is full of dramatic arcs. This character difference not only reflects the screenwriter's different orientations in character creation, but also affects the audience's perception of the entire story. A character rich in change and depth is more likely to resonate with the audience, which makes the film and television work more attractive.
