The movie war for the Spring Festival stalls has ended, and various box office and word-of-mouth data have also been released. In this competition, there is a topic that has attracted a lot of attention, that is, the performance of the two popular actresses Zhao Liying and Yang Zi. Both of them became popular from TV series, both have good strength and popularity, and they both served as the second female lead in the Spring Festival movie, but their roles and states are completely different.
In "Article 20" directed by Zhang Yimou, Zhao Liying played a hearing-impaired village woman, who did not hesitate to confront the evil forces in order to save her abducted daughter, showing the greatness and strength of maternal love.
And Yang Zi played a high school student in "Hot and Hot" directed by Jia Ling, and lived with the mother played by Jia Ling, experiencing an adventure through time and space, showing the vitality and funniness of youth. The styles and themes of the two movies are different, and the performances of the two actresses also have their own merits, but netizens have different opinions on their choices and positioning. Some people appreciate Zhao Liying's breakthrough and transformation, some people complain about Yang Zi's old state and similarity, some people think that Zhao Liying's role is too heavy and tragic, and some people think that Yang Zi's role is too relaxed and naïve.
In these controversies, there is a sentence that has been repeatedly mentioned, that is, a sentence once said by Sun Li: "A person has grown to this stage, and it is unconvincing to play the state of youth again, and it is only sorry for the audience to reluctantly act." This sentence seems to have become the standard for evaluating Zhao Liying and Yang Zi, and it has also triggered our thinking about the age and role of the actress. So, is Zhao Liying and Yang Zi's choice right? Is Sun Li's words really correct? Let's analyze them together.
# Zhao Liying: There is no image baggage, a little surprised
If you want to say that among the 85 flowers, the most surprising thing for the audience is definitely Zhao Liying. In the past, "soil" and "low emotional intelligence" were labels that Zhao Liying couldn't get rid of, so many years have passed, and the little girl who used to smile at the camera, was bullied but was angry, can already sit firmly in the C position at the director's press conference.
In "Article 20", Zhao Liying plays the hearing-impaired Hao Xiuping. A few shots in the trailer broke my defense. I thought that in order to break into the film industry, Zhao Liying would give up her image, but what I didn't expect was that now she really has the strength of a big flower. In the clip, Zhao Liying is dressed so frugally that it can be described as "ragged", and her true love for her children is completely cathartic in one trick and one style. When the child was robbed, she was even like a she-wolf, getting up and flying, she could only open her mouth to the maximum extent, and she was so hurried that she made desperate moves, pulling the audience into the play in a second.
When he found that the child was gone, he came to negotiate with the villagers. At the beginning, Zhao Liying's state was just anxious, skillfully gesturing sign language, wanting to know what happened to her child and where it was. Subsequently, Zhao Liying's mood gradually collapsed. The movements in her hands became more panicked, and Zhao Liying's tears couldn't help but burst out like a flood. At this time, you don't even need to read the subtitles to fully understand what she wants to express, this is a hard-working mother who is always worried about her daughter and is willing to sacrifice her life for her child. In fact, playing ugly is no longer a symbol of "dedication" for today's actors.
In order to show their different sides, many actors will deliberately blacken their skin or self-destruct their images in film and television dramas, but Zhao Liying directly turned herself into an ordinary village woman. Do you say she is ugly? It's just that she appears without makeup, her hair is messy, and she is dressed ordinarily, and from Zhao Liying's emotional transformation, the audience can feel her devotion to the characters. Even if it's a static still, you can see the emotions gushing out, and I already have the urge to cry just by looking at it, I think this character will definitely be the biggest tear point in the whole film.
cooperated with Zhang Yimou to carry the second female in the Spring Festival film. Zhao Liying can have such a strong resource, which is obtained by strength. I think that since "Happiness to Ten Thousand Homes" and "The Wind Blows in the Summer", her career has embarked on an unstoppable road of highlights. After all, she is so busy that she rarely appears on the red carpet, and once this movie stands up, Zhao Liying is likely to attack the queen.
#杨紫: I am going farther and farther on the road of idol dramas
really hates iron and steel, as a well-known child star, Yang Zi's filming experience can be regarded as a senior. is 31 years old, and he is still playing a high school student, and most of the comment area of "Love for a Long Time" is complaining about Yang Zi's state. There are two lines in this drama, in the modern story line, Yang Zi's acting skills are still the same, the crying scene comes and the crying is very real, but almost no one can catch her play.
For actresses who start acting in idol dramas, the transformation is indeed not easy, but Yang Zi's road is definitely much better than Zhao Liying's. She got up with big productions like "Battle of Changsha" and "Ode to Joy", which opened up a new track at the beginning, and was completely powerful. Then, "Sweet Honey Sinks Like Frost", "Dear, Loved", and "My Mowgli Boy" appeared one after another. In the past, she cooperated with Huo Jianhua, Liu Tao and other Mesozoic generations, and now she cooperates with Xiao Zhan and other top streamers, Cheng Yi, and now she cooperates with Xu Kai. stabilized the status of the big heroine and plunged headlong into the idol drama circle, and the result was the downgrading of resources.
After acting in a drama, of course, it is easy to transform into an idol drama, but you can get used to the style of idol dramas, and it is difficult to step into the circle of dramas again after you are older. With a difference of five years, Zhao Liying has begun to play her mother without makeup. And Yang Zi also played the daughter of Jia Ling, who was ten years older than her, in "Hot and Hot", the gap is not too big.
However, in the Reuters video, seeing Yang Zi without makeup, I was even more worried about this movie - I put up with it in the TV series, and I can skip watching another story line when my facial features fly around and play a high school student, but you are still like this on the big screen, why should I skip it.
epilogue
Seeing Yang Zi, I once again understood how sober Sun Li was. For the role of a campus or a girl, she made it clear that a person has grown to this stage, and it is unconvincing to play the youthful state again, and it is just "sorry for the audience" to play it reluctantly.
Ancient puppets are filmed on fire, and campus dramas are filmed on urban campus fires, and it is easy for powerful factions to transfer traffic, but it is not easy to return to the original track. As far as Yang Zi's acting skills are concerned, the occasional rollover is not fatal, but if it is also complained about on the big screen after the drama, it will be a little too uncomfortable.
Is transformation the only way for actors? For the current Yang Zi, it may not be, but the change from "Dear, Loved" to "Love for a Long Time" has already illustrated the current situation of 30 plus actresses in the entertainment industry. Not only is his state too inconsistent, but an actor who is willing to do a second time is not much better. is also a top-level actress, with good audience popularity and strength, but Zhao Liying and Yang Zi's word-of-mouth trends are not the same.
