The box office failure of "Twenty Articles" is to blame on Zhao Liying?
I've watched the movie a long time ago, and I only have time to chat today.
After the end of "Article 20", I told my girlfriend that Liu Yaowen looks good, but his expression is really too hard, brother, can't you move that face?
My best friend said, that's it, it seems that Zhang Yi has transferred it to him, and it is estimated that a little bit has been added, otherwise it will be even more useless.

But when it comes to adding dramas, I suddenly feel that Zhang Yi is very powerful, he is a special actor in this film, but he is still one of the best two in the whole film in my heart (the other one will be said later).
watched "The Three Teams" before, and many people said that Zhang Yi's performance was homogeneous. Please, they all played the police, so it's homogeneous?
Let's also take a look at "Man Jianghong" and the teaching director here, if this is called homogenization, I hope that the whole industry will be homogeneous according to this standard first.
To be honest, the movie "Article 20" is not very outstanding in terms of plot. There are a lot of bridges, purely the bad taste of the Spring Festival Gala sketches, you say that its life flow seems reasonable, but it is not wrong to say that it is cheesy. But when I watched it, I couldn't help but sigh, so vulgar and silky.
is like a wife finding a hair from her husband's clothes, so as to use the topic to play, and change two actors who have a bad audience and can't hold back the play, it is really like a pins and needles on their backs.
But Ma Li and Lei Jiayin have quarreled very smoothly for dozens of rounds, and it feels like it's not impossible to quarrel like this.
and when "Wang Tiejun" was exposed, Lei Jiayin admitted that he was coquettish, and the female colleague (Gao Ye) was still gnawing on apples, with an expression of eating sour dog food on her face, and she could feel what the so-called "human protection drama" meant.
Because the more this special life scene, the more difficult it is to depict accurately.
For some very outstanding characters, we always feel that it is the characters that are well set up to make the characters likable.
Like the sister-in-law in "Hurricane", many people think that Gao Ye was lucky to bump into this role, but if you just have nothing to do with beauty and no core, under the backdrop of a group of drama bones, it is especially easy to show timidity.
Watching "Article 20" this time, I feel even more so, it stands to reason that the role of a female prosecutor is axial and tough, and the words she said when she was suspended have to be valuable, if you want not to annoy people, it will test the actor's ability too much.
Gao Ye proves here that she is a powerful actor.

Zhang Yimou's movies, sometimes the problem is that they like value too much, and they are still a lot of them, and some places are particularly blunt.
I really didn't expect this to be a comedy, but the so-called "edutainment" part in it still has a strong sense of "teaching".
At the final press conference, Lei Jiayin's large speech, looking at internal entertainment, there are really few that can achieve both smooth and sincere results.
Many actors' lines are also very powerful, but it is easy to get into a style when you sit there, and the taste of preaching comes to your face, like the following.
Of course, this has a lot to do with Lei Jiayin's own temperament.
I also discussed with my girlfriend before that Lei Jiayin's resources are indeed bursting, but he is really worthy of the audience. You have to say that his temperament is very homely, but he also played Qin Hui very well last year.
Not to mention this year's suspended prosecutors, including Jia Ling's scumbag. He himself said it was hard to handle, but we all looked at his comfort zone.
Although the script of "Article 20" has such and such problems, fortunately, the actors show it very heartily. Many familiar faces in last year's hit dramas are also there, and I feel that it is the team building of "Hurricane" and "The Long Season", especially "The Long Season", a total of 6 came.
The characters of Crazy Donkey and Li Hongwei remain the same, and I don't quite remember whether Aruna has played a good person. Between acting and acting, there is really a moat.
As mentioned earlier, Zhang Yi is one of my two favorites in this film, and the other is Mr. Fan Wei. It can even be said that Zhang Yi has to be ranked back, and Fan Wei is well-deserved to be the best in the whole film.
As soon as he appeared, he didn't say his lines yet, just standing there, and the expression on his face clearly showed the nature of the character.
In "The Long Season", Wang Xiang's horns are still full of Fan Debiao's shadow, not that the teacher hid it badly, but that the two do have similarities. But when you get here, it definitely won't remind you of any other character.
Jiang Qiming played a mute in a long time, without lines but deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and once caused a heated discussion of "the best medical beauty for men is to shut up".
The lawyer here looks a bit elitist, and I thought he was a ruthless man, at least an accomplice for the tiger or something. I didn't expect that people are not bad, and they are cowardly, and they have lines, but they don't have much chance to say it.

I didn't know that "Article 20" was a comedy, largely because of the focus of the propaganda before and after, it seems to be Zhao Liying, saying how breakthrough she is, how extraordinary.
The material of the short video is also her, and many people think that she is the heroine, and they mistakenly think that this is a sad drama. The Chinese New Year really affects ticket sales. I watched that later entries came out to clarify that the heroine of this drama is actually Ma Li, not Xiaoli.
Zhao Liying's performance here, I think, is integrated. Just looking at her, she seems to be the strongest person in 85 flowers, but as long as the drama bones are gathered, she will look very thin.
But it's okay here, the point is not to pretend to be ugly or dirty, the key is to perform the feeling of "being bullied". But it's also very likely that it's because you don't have to speak your lines.
People who are used to playing the heroine of ancient puppets will have a little inertia, even if they are weak, their eyes will be vigorous.
Just like Yang Mi in "Baby", although she can see the traces of hard work, she still can't hide her ruthless sense of "you wait for me".
In fact, in my opinion, whether it is the role or the expression of the theme, the heroine should be Gao Ye. It is the female prosecutor who has always adhered to the statement of "legitimate defense", resisted the pressure and ran around to find evidence, and did not flinch in the face of everyone else's belief that "it was all judged this way".
As a result, in the end, she was dismissed, and the temporary prosecutor became the host, and she was suspended instead. Although Lei Jiayin also fulfilled her long-cherished wish in the end, she was really speechless.
In fact, there are a lot of ambiguities in the script, some of which are really not clear at this stage, and some are not easy to say whether it is a problem of ability.
In such a script, the actors are actually acting and creating at the same time, and the flow of life seems to be easy, but in fact it is the most difficult, and it is too challenging to make the noise real and have the beauty of the performance.
Especially in many places, there are still free plays, and only under the condition that everyone's level is very online, can the director rest assured that the actors can open the blind box.
Many good actors will temporarily change their scenes, Zhang Yi alone has a lot of such rumors, not only will the scene be changed according to the situation, but he is the artistic director in "Hurricane", and he has also changed many people.
The famous cordon was added by him.
The scene of hiding his mobile phone in a bandage and persuading Li Xiang while speaking was added by him.
Including a lot of details of the movement, the movements of the little actors.
Later, I saw Gao Ye say that the first appearance of the sister-in-law, the design of the backlight to show the characters, was also made by Zhang Yi.
On the whole, Zhang Yi is basically equal, adding drama to all those he feels need.
The effect is naturally very good, but it may not be able to take care of everyone's emotions, some people will think he is very amazing, and some people will think that he is domineering, "everything he says".
If you add a play to A, it may affect B's role, and B will think that you are biased, and A is more good at making sycophants.
But in fact, Xiao Wu, a "chronic son", is very suitable with the actor's personal characteristics, but it doesn't necessarily give benefits. Similarly, I don't believe it, the scene was deleted because "female policemen can't go to the police".
For the audience, the final effect is the most important thing, if the addition of drama can be the icing on the cake, or even turn stones into gold, then we really don't care.
It's a pity that many drama cafes are just stealing the highlights, and even the basic logic has been given up for the so-called "good character design".
Zhang Yimou is right, "Comedy is not written". Countless precedents have shown that many famous scenes of comedy are actually on-the-spot reactions, which are unintentional insertions, but in fact, they are all accumulations after deep cultivation.
Especially here, encountering an opponent of equal strength can also arouse a competitive spirit. If you can pick it up, who wouldn't be able to improvise?
If everyone is so good at adding drama, then try to add it, we just need to be happy to watch it.
