Judging from the film's word-of-mouth and box office results, "Article 20" is a work that is far underrated.

In this year's Spring Festival, "Article 20" ranked fourth on the box office list of new films, and currently has a box office score of 500 million, even behind the animated film "Bear Infested: Reversing Time and Space".

Compared with "Hot and Hot" and "Flying Life 2", it is even worse.

However, the word-of-mouth evaluation of 7.9 points is not inferior to these two movies at all, and the reason for this is inseparable from the theme of "Article 20".

Although there are also comedic elements in the film, it is mainly about the regulation on "justifiable defense" in Article 20 of the Criminal Code.

For audiences who prefer a family atmosphere, the first choice is not "Article 20", which also affected the box office results of this movie, but there is one thing to say, "Article 20" is the real dark horse film for this year's Spring Festival.

The subject matter is novel, the angle is sharp, the casting is accurate, and the advantages are grasped.

But after watching the movie, the one I want to praise the most is Zhao Liying. It turns out that at the age of 36, she has gone further and further on the road to becoming a "non-famous" actor.

01

Challenging the image of the deaf and mute, the three scenes amazed four seats

Hao Xiuping is the soul of "Article 20", and the original character is not the deaf and mute we see.

But in order to be more in line with reality, Zhao Liying deliberately added problems to herself after getting the script, and discussed with Zhang Yimou, so that Hao Xiuping is also deaf and mute like the daughter in the film.

Not only did she have to learn sign language, but she also had to perform multiple emotions without a single line, and all kinds of explosive moments posed a huge challenge to Zhao Liying.

But Zhao Liying sharpened her sword offstage, saw the level on stage, and performed a stunning effect in three scenes.

In the first scene, robbing the daughter

Hao Xiuping's husband went to prison, and in order to escape the harassment of the village tyrant, she took her daughter to the station, but the village bully was one step ahead of her and almost took her daughter into the van and took her away without permission.

Seeing the village tyrant holding her daughter into the car, Hao Xiuping hurriedly opened her mouth to grab the child, because she couldn't call for help, Hao Xiuping could only open her mouth vigorously and make a state of shouting to show that the character was frightened and anxious.

Zhao Liying's appearance in such a way is surprising, although she has already performed the image of a village woman before, but the shape is not so down-to-earth.

The hair is messy, the clothes are shabby, and even the bags on the body are old and old.

But all the appearance designs are not as real as Zhao Liying's acting skills, when she was pulling with the village tyrant, Han Ming and others happened to arrive, Zhao Liying frantically threw away her arms, but her body always protected her daughter, and she didn't pull her daughter so hard.

Such actions vividly interpret a mother's instinct to protect her children, and Zhao Liying's expression expresses the fear and fear in the character's heart.

In the second scene, I learned that my daughter was missing

For Hao Xiuping, her husband has already gone to prison, and at this time she is not sure whether her husband can get out of prison, and her daughter is her life and all hope for survival.

However, Hao Xiuping entrusted her daughter to Li Maojuan, but when she went to find Dayong to find the whereabouts of the knife, she learned that her daughter was missing.

Unsure of the authenticity of the news, her first reaction was to ask the child what was wrong, Zhao Liying gestured vigorously, still with her mouth open, and her nervousness and worry were visible to the naked eye.

Because she didn't get a definite answer, Zhao Liying's movements became bigger and bigger, and her eyes were full of tears, whether it was the anxiety that the other party couldn't understand her sign language, or the pain of her daughter's disappearance, she could only use more exaggerated body language to express herself.

At that moment, I could not only feel her helplessness, but also read the despair in her eyes.

In the third scene, he jumped off the building in despair

The complete outburst of emotions was after running onto the rooftop.

It is very likely that her husband will be sentenced, and her daughter will not be found, and Hao Xiuping herself is also a victim and has been raped by bullies many times.

At this time, she has no hope of life, jumping off the building is her only way to get out, and she also knows that jumping off the building may also give her daughter a glimmer of life and attract everyone's attention.

Zhao Liying's tears flowed all over her face, her sign language became more forceful, her hair was messy in the wind, and the green tendons on her stubborn neck exploded.

Seeing Zhao Liying convey her emotions to the audience so accurately, the biggest feeling at that moment was empathy for Hao Xiuping.

And when she stretched out her hand to Han Ming, she was also in tears, but there was a little more hope in her eyes, and this hope was like grasping the last straw.

These three scenes make Zhao Liying the absolute protagonist in "Article 20", and her acting skills are as explosive and infectious as any actor.

02

"Know" changes Zhao Liying, and "Article 20" opens up more possibilities

Zhao Liying's drama awakening is more thorough than other 85 flowers.

The work "Do You Know" changed Zhao Liying, and the role of Minglan touched her deeply, after this drama, her feelings settled, and she has undergone great changes in just a few years.

But as the ceiling of house fighting dramas, Zhao Liying used this work to prove that she can not only act in ancient puppet dramas, but also support this kind of high-quality dramas.

After that, she tried the suspense theme "Who is the Murderer", the rural theme "Happiness to Ten Thousand Homes", and the commercial theme "The Wind Blows in the Summer".

The style of this work is very different, but the characters portrayed by Zhao Liying can amaze the audience every time.

The characters in these dramas are very distinct, but they are not common in previous film and television dramas, and there is no reference material, all relying on self-feeling, and it does not affect Zhao Liying's step by step exploration of the way of the play and the characters are thorough.

This cooperation with Zhang Yimou to play the deaf and mute in "Article 20" opens up more possibilities for Zhao Liying.

Most of the previous works were mainly on the small screen, and rarely played a major role on the big screen, but "Article 20" proves that Zhao Liying's acting skills have also withstood the test of the big screen.

In the past, Zhao Liying's traffic was more famous than her strength, but this popularity often decreases with age, and the continuous accumulation of homogeneous roles gradually decreases, but the launch of a number of high-quality works and this big-screen work "Article 20" have made Zhao Liying a "non-famous" actor.

Only by standing firm on your skills can you go further, Zhao Liying deserves everyone's recognition!
