Duan Yihong, the human alpha who came out of the second dimension.
The appearance is not exquisite, but the hormones are bursting, and the more you look at it, the better it looks.
Duan Yihong, who was born in Yining, Xinjiang, China, has the roughness and openness of the northern Hanzi' trademark, coupled with the inexplicable fierceness and silence, ah, too charming.
This unique temperament makes Duan Yihong stand out in the domestic film and television circle.
Although Duan Yihong is already a well-known film emperor-level good actor, few people know that Duan Yihong passed the examination three times in the Chinese Opera Acting Department that year.
What is even more surprising is that the first film starring Duan Yihong was directed by Wang Xiaoshuai.
However, at this time, Duan Yihong had not yet changed his name to Duan Yihong, and was still called Duan Long.
What we're going to talk about today is this movie —
"The Second Brother"
"Two Cars" is Wang Xiaoshuai's early work, 2003, almost not many people have seen it. This is a film about mainland stowaways
In fact, As one of the sixth generation of Directors in China, Wang Xiaoshuai has always told stories about "wandering".
Whether it is "Winter and Spring Days", later "Bian Dan Girl", "Dream Pastoral", "Rizhao Chongqing", or the "Trilogy of Three Lines", "Qinghong", "I 11", "Intruder", and later "Long Days", this is the case.
"Second Brother" is no exception.
There is a saying: "Where there is sunshine in the world, there is Chinese." ”
Our country has the largest number of emigrants, a considerable proportion of which is smuggled out.
Around 2000, in an inconspicuous town on the coast of Fujian, people here also dug holes in their minds to smuggle in.
In this isolated town, there is a second brother of the "Hero of the Storm".
Saying that he is a popular figure is actually a beautiful boy who has worked as a black worker in the United States.
The place where the second brother works is a Chinese restaurant opened by a Fujian villager, and he washes dishes in it.
This is really not a glorious thing to show off.
But after washing, the second brother fell in love with the daughter of the owner of this Chinese restaurant, and also got married and had a son, Fusheng.
It should have been a good thing, but the restaurant owner, an old man, didn't think it was good.
It was not easy to come to a beautiful country, open a restaurant, raise a baby girl, and was pried away by this poor boy, you said that you hate people and do not hate people.
The disgruntled boss ordered his second brother to sign an agreement, forcing him to agree to give up custody of his son or he would have to go to the immigration office to report him.
If he really reported it, the second brother would immediately have to be sent back to China.
This is not going to happen, the son is still here.
Yes, sign it, at least you can still see your son.
But the older the child, the second brother noticed a problem: how could this child just call his mother and not his father?
No, the second brother could only take Fusheng out and secretly teach him to call his father.
Not long after, the family who opened the hotel found that the family that had been corrupted by capitalism had no contract spirit and immediately went to the immigration bureau to report the second brother.
Naturally, the second brother was sent back to China.
After returning to China, the second brother became more and more silent, he lived with the eldest brother and sister-in-law, idle all day, and mixed with a group of brothers.
The town sometimes ushered in the Yue opera troupe, and the second brother and the beautiful Danjiao in the troupe talked about love.
This is also appropriate, a static movement, envy others.
But in the envious eyes that followed, it was more of a yearning for the second brother's smuggling experience.
In the eyes of those villagers who wanted to smuggle but did not succeed, the second brother is a legend in the town. Wherever he went, people always had unusual respect for him.
Everyone knows that smuggling is illegal, but that doesn't stop people from yearning for it.
How powerful is the United States, and its beautiful and majestic appearance not only confuses Gatsby, but also the people of the ancient country on the other side of the ocean.
But the second brother's family has always had a heart disease, that is, the boy Fusheng who was raised in someone else's home.
This simple town also follows the traditional family ethics that have lasted for thousands of years, that is, as mencius said in "Leaving Lou Shang": "There are three filial pieties without filial piety, and no queen is greater." ”
The eldest brother and sister-in-law could not give birth to children, and the son of the second brother was robbed by someone, and the incense of the old Hong family was about to be broken.
Coincidentally, at this time, the grandson was brought back by his grandfather.
Well, the family was immediately armed, and that posture, the UNITED Nations negotiations were no more than that.
The eldest brother and sister-in-law prepared that kind of schoolbag-style Kizhilang jelly for the second brother, and then carried a basket of hairy crabs, and carried a large pile of seven or eighty-eight, and how the second brother had to bring his son back for two days, and then go to his parents' grave to burn incense and worship.
The second brother was also nervous, and he wanted to see his son too much.
He got up early in the morning to wash up, put on a structured suit, tied a handsome tie, and didn't know that he thought that the second brother was going on a blind date.
It was not easy to get to the door, and as a result, because there was a grandson of an American citizen, the cattle had to show off their might, and they dragged it like twenty-five or eighty thousand, so that people would not be angry when they saw it.
Suffocation.
How the second brother is also the father of the child, there is no big mistake, as a result, Xingchong rushed to the door, and no one let the door enter.
After a long time, the old man came out, and the momentum was almost more powerful than that of the emperor Lao Tzu, and after counting down a few words from the second brother, he showed great compassion and let him see his son for the last time.
The second brother went in, do you think you really saw it? That's weird.
Coupled with the time to go upstairs, the whole meeting process does not take more than five minutes before and after.
The dead old man asked the second brother to look at his sleeping son in the crack of the door and threw him out.
What can I see in the crack of the door? The second brother's eyes were all staring out, and he only saw a vague back of his son's head.
The story of The Chinese Lao Tzu and the American Son has always been the talk of the whole town when it comes to sniffing melon seeds.
The second brother's family wanted to bring Fusheng back.
As a result, only the second brother has been to the United States alone, and he knows how difficult it is for him to return to his son under American law.
A line that appears repeatedly in the film is: "Why can't I see the child, where is the reason why Lao Tzu can't see the child?" ”
It is natural and reasonable for a father to see a son in the traditional Chinese ethical order.
But under U.S. law, this is harder than ascending to heaven.
You see, the movie clearly does not leave this ancient town for a minute, but "America" hovers like a ghost in the middle of the town, enveloping people's hearts and everywhere.
In the blink of an eye, it was Fusheng's birthday again, and the old man invited a large number of people to dinner to show off his American grandson, but did not invite the second brother.
So the second brother and his friend came to the door with a lot of things, wanting to celebrate Fusheng's birthday. As a result, when he got to the door, he was not allowed to enter, and he almost fought with the old man.
The story is always interspersed with the struggle between American law and Chinese, which makes people look very screwed.
The second brother was sandwiched in the middle, and could only smoke silently.
One morning, the eldest sister-in-law suddenly went to the second brother's room and asked him to go downstairs. When the second brother got dressed and came down, he saw his son Fusheng obediently sitting there playing with toys.
The eldest brother told him not to say anything, not to ask anything, to play with the children to the fullest, the focus is to take the parents' graves to burn incense and kowtow, saying that the eldest grandson of the old Hong family has returned.
Next is the colorful chapter in the whole film, which is also the happiest time for the second brother.
The second brother, the second brother's girlfriend, the second brother's good buddies, plus the little Fusheng, four people flipped their heads on the muddy mudflats by the sea, you chased me, so unhappy.
For the second brother, such a happy time is really too short.
At first, he wanted Fusheng to call his father several times, but Fusheng shook his head and refused to call.
Fortunately, the child is most like a child when they play, laughing and screaming loudly, as if the heavens and the earth are theirs.
When they got home, the old man came to the door and said that he was going to the police station to accuse them of kidnapping the children.
The eldest brother repeated over and over again that this is China, that American law does not work, and that Lao Tzu is righteous when he sees his son.
The two gangs said they couldn't make sense and then they had to do it again.
When the second brother saw this, he hugged Fusheng to his grandfather, touched his face, and turned away.
At this moment, Fusheng timidly called out to his father.
The second brother did not look back, but his twitching back and the faint sobs made us see this man's pain so vividly for the first time.
Later, the old man went to sue them.
But it was useless, and the police also felt that Lao Tzu should see his son, but the eldest brother and the second brother were detained for fifteen days because of the attack on the police.
By the time the two came out, Fukusei had been brought back to the United States.
In the whole movie, Duan Yihong's acting skills are so restrained and natural, showing a stubborn, stuffy second brother in front of the audience's eyes.
Especially in the song hall box, several men are walking for their departing brothers.
The second brother sat in the middle, smoking a cigarette, leaning back, leaning back on the sofa, almost invisible.
The second brother here is like a kind of person, the kind of person who may only leave a vague shadow for others in his life, the kind of person who brings his own mosaic in life.
You don't know what he's thinking in his heart, whether he's miserable or happy, whether he has dreams or worries.
In this small town, the sea is ugly to die, and to live is to be mixed every day, just like the beautiful Danjiao is always repeating the same lyrics, boring, lifeless.
This kind of life can be seen for a lifetime as long as it is lived for one day.
So at the end of the film, the second brother and his girlfriend once again embark on the smuggled ferry.
"Second Brother" is a very good work, whether it is the actors, cinematography, narrative is very restrained, there is no fierce tragedy, only endless, long silence.
This time, Wang Xiaoshuai had no evaluation, only presentation.
In this sino-American struggle, no one can easily give a judgment or an answer.
The pale faces that burrowed into the cabin and floated on the sea were not fundamentally different from those who desperately wanted to stay abroad today.
Such an ending, it seems chilling today.
"Second Brother" is amber in the torrent of history, it is so real. The silence of the second brother is actually the silence of Wang Xiaoshuai.
In such a magnificent history, we cannot evaluate, but can only record.
