Preface
In terms of performing arts in the world, who can be regarded as truly "God appreciates food"? How will the success of a Spring Festival movie change the fate of the two actors?
Which is better or worse between being born in a professional class and being exposed to it since childhood? We might as well savor it, perhaps the truth lies in it.
The sensational repercussions of the movie "Article 20".
In a joyful atmosphere of celebrating the New Year, the film "Article 20" directed by Zhang Yimou quietly arrived. This comedy, adapted from a real case, focuses on the field of law and justice, and arouses the audience to think deeply through the life choices of several ordinary people.
"Article 20" was not eye-catching at the beginning of its release, and even a little deserted. In the era of entertainment to death, the audience is more accustomed to relaxing through movies, who would have thought that a movie based on judicial cases would become a dark horse for the Spring Festival?
However, with the gradual amplification of the word-of-mouth effect, more and more audiences were moved by this movie. I was looking forward to the light-hearted movie Goers, but after watching it, they all said that it was "unexpectedly good-looking" and "the theme is of great significance".
The remake blockbuster that sought stability in the Spring Festival file still sits on the box office throne, but "Article 20" has slowly opened up its popularity with its unique true warmth and has become a very eye-catching existence.
It is hard to imagine that in the current market-oriented environment, a movie without the blessing of stars, with small scenes and an unfast pace can get such a response. This is due to the insight and courage of "Zhang Yimou, who is the best at shooting".
He once again proved his accurate grasp of the pulse of the times and the value of art, refracted social reality through the fate of a small person, and presented the brightness and incompleteness in the construction of China's contemporary legal system.
This kind of choice and pursuit gives this unobtrusive subject matter a different confidence and internal support.
Prosecutor Lu Lingling, who has superb acting skills
In the movie "Article 20", actor Gao Ye played the role of prosecutor Lu Lingling. She is heroic, resolute and majestic, and at the same time embodies the delicate tenderness unique to women.
In the face of criminals, she is stern and persistent, and her righteousness is awe-inspiring; In the face of the victims, she was full of compassion and did her best to help. Gao Ye is introverted by nature, which just reflects the character traits of Lu Lingling.
In the plot, she is always restrained and calm, and her appearance seems harsh, but her heart is full of justice and sympathy. In the face of the ugly behavior of bullies oppressing the weak, the anger in Gao Ye's eyes revealed her indignation.
And when she saw that the peasant woman was oppressed by evil forces who did not understand the law, her eyes were filled with distress. This subtle emotional outpouring is very well placed, allowing the audience to feel the soft heart behind an upright woman.
Her performance did not have too many outward intense emotions, but it showed the professionalism and wisdom of this female prosecutor through her inner calmness. In the plot, she repeatedly does not hesitate to touch the boundaries of the law to help others get out of danger, and this almost chivalric sense of justice is moving.
Among the actors trained by the professional system, many of them are more outgoing in their performances and pursue intense tension. And Gao Ye controlled his emotions just right and did not let it outflow, but the subtleties were full of his heart, which can be called the pinnacle of acting.
It can be seen that through the careful control of the character's cognition and emotion, she has gradually plumped up this originally thin character. used his excellent acting skills to support an indispensable pillar in the play, presenting a three-dimensional and vivid positive model for the audience.
Hao Xiuping, who appreciates food all the time
If Gao Ye's performance is to pile up a three-dimensional character from scratch within the frame, then Zhao Liying's performance in "Article 20" is a seamless "incarnation". Hao Xiuping, a rural woman she plays, is simply one with herself.
This sense of integration has almost reached the point of crossing over, as if Hao Xiuping really walked in front of the audience alive. The character of Hao Xiuping is ill-fated, she is a helpless orphan, and after marrying in the countryside, she finally lives a stable life.
but after the unexpected death of her husband, she fell into despair and misery again; The bullies fought vexatiously, which made her bear a trumped-up charge; In order to protect her daughter, she stood on the edge of the rooftop in a desperate position.
All kinds of helplessness and despair have been most straightforwardly annotated in Zhao Liying's delicate and nuanced performance. She used subtle expressions to convey Hao Xiuping's inner twists and turns, and the panic, helplessness, and despair in those small actions were so shocking.
Even without any lines, she can tell the character's mental journey with a look or a tremor of her fingertips. Especially the scene where she gestures with her fingers, the kind of anxious anxiety of her family suffering and being speechless, is simply heart-wrenching.
This is the acting skills of "God appreciates food and eats", which has gone beyond the level of the play, and is completely a bright display of the character's self. Every cell of Zhao Liying is showing the audience Hao Xiuping's fate.
makes people fully immersed in the plot, and the mood rises and falls, regretting or moving for the fate of a small person. It can be said that she used her unparalleled acting skills to support the most critical role in the film.
The different charms of the two acting models
Through the film "Article 20", the public was able to get a glimpse of the different styles of the two genres of acting. Gao Ye's performance can be said to reflect the basic skills of a professional actor, and she starts from the basic conditions of the character.
Through emotional experience and performance skills, the character is flesh and blood, and gradually progressed; And Zhao Liying's performance is more natural and smooth, she is simply Hao Xiuping, who hits the softest point of people's hearts.
If Gao Ye has built a typical positive character, flesh and blood, three-dimensional and credible, then Zhao Liying is the most outstanding "negative teaching material". Her performance is almost flawless, and every cell is a reflection of the character's self.
These two styles can be said to draw on their own strengths and complement each other. While reflecting the brilliance of human nature, it also points out the various shortcomings of reality. They all have their own merits, and there is no superiority or inferiority. Gao Ye's performance is steady and restrained, and Zhao Liying's performance is infectious.
The former advances layer by layer, and the latter hits with a single hit. are all highlights and highlights in the movie, injecting an irreplaceable soul into this work.
It is foreseeable that with their outstanding performance in this movie, both Gao Ye and Zhao Liying will usher in a new peak in their acting careers and gain higher recognition in the film industry. Maybe they will work together again in future films.
A perfect combination of different acting styles; Or they will shine in other high-quality movies and TV series, and speak with strength. As acting actors, they will definitely become more anticipated stars in the film and television industry.
epilogue
The performing arts are so profound that it is difficult to describe them in one word. "Article 20" presents people with two different acting genres, and the audience has a very good movie night.
Whether it is a person with excellent acting skills trained by a professional class, or an actor who is born with a keen acting character, as long as he is deeply involved in the play, he can move people's hearts and make the character come to life.
