When filming "Qiao Family Compound", director Hu Mei accidentally asked Zhang Yi, how old are you?
Zhang Yi replied, 27.
Hu Mei glanced at Zhang Yi and said a sentence that zhang Yi would never forget.
"You remember, when the actor is 28 years old and doesn't come out, you just wash and sleep."
At that time, Zhang Yi was startled out of a cold sweat, so I don't have only one year left?
Today, Zhang Translation in 2020 can be described as a boom.
As the invitations to movies continue, the coffee slot is also rising.
This is not only the audience's recognition of Zhang Yi, but also the result of Zhang Yi's own efforts.
As a male actor whose appearance is not outstanding, to stand out in the vast sea of people, to still shine after the age of 28, what does he rely on?
For Zhang Yi, he relies on the acting skills of a person with ease and a thousand faces.
What really makes Fourteen remember Zhang Yi's unremarkable face is a black humor crime film directed by Cao Baoping in 2016.
As the last protagonist to appear in the whole story, he suppressed the male one played by Liu Ye and captured everyone's attention.
At that moment, Fourteen knew that he was Zhang Yi.
"The Pursuer Also"
Douban scored 7.8, and this crime film based on true events is an experimental film work by Cao Baoping.
It uses three lines, three separate descriptions of different character perspectives, rather than telling the story according to the timeline.
As a crime film, its core is an absurd black humor comedy, and the color of the whole film is not heavy, and even presents a strange perception of "people are killed, but it is funny".
One, three angles, three stories
01, car repair guy Song Lao'er
On this day, a corpse was found next to the ditch in the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau.
During the police visit and investigation, it was found that the car repairman Song Lao'er and the deceased cat brother had clashed a few days before they were killed.
Song Lao'er is a big old man with a straight temperament, because he was wronged by the cat brother and daughter-in-law, which led to a big fight with the police and was locked up in the bureau.
Although it was finally released, the gossip in the countryside continued to come and go—
"Shouldn't people really be killed by Song Lao'er?"
Song Lao'er could not swallow this breath, and in order to let his son concentrate on studying and not being bullied at school, he decided to arrest the prisoners himself and prove his innocence.
Brother Cat's Mo's Song Lao'er once repaired, two rearview mirrors one round and one side, two tire patterns are different.
The man was killed, the car was gone, and the car must have been stolen by the prisoner.
Following this clue, Song Lao'er found the lost motorcycle in the stone village of the neighboring village.
However, song Lao'er, who was sneaky in the village, was mistaken by the villagers as a human trafficker, and just when he was about to catch the murderer, the villagers rushed out and arrested the second elder.
In the end, although the murderer knew who it was, he still ran away under the disturbance of the villagers.
Although the people ran away, Song Lao'er learned after investigation and understanding that this young man who escaped was called Wang Youquan, and there was an old mother in the family, and the only person close to him was Yang Shufen, his girlfriend in the county.
However, the old two thousand miles rushed to the county seat, but Yang Shufen did not say anything about Wang Youquan.
There is no way, Song Lao'er is preparing to fight the road back home——
At this moment, a stone pier fell from the sky and smashed straight into the door of Song Lao'er's brain.
02, the second son of Wang Youquan
Wang Youquan is an unemployed young man in the countryside and has a girlfriend who has been dating for more than a year.
But recently, he got a new motorcycle, which is very imposing.
Girlfriend Yang Shufen asked him where the car came from, and Wang Youquan said that the car was bought.
Yang Shufen knew that Wang Youquan was not telling the truth.
But although he is a stunt, no money and no job, in essence, Wang Youquan is not a bad person, so she does not ask more.
One day, Wang Youquan was preparing to drive out of his home for a ride, when suddenly a crazy person behind him shouted with a bamboo pole:
"Murderer, don't run."
Wang Youquan thought that he was found stealing a car, and hurriedly abandoned the car to escape.
Forced to do so, Wang Youquan could only find Yang Shufen to borrow money to buy a ticket, and prepared to go to Kunming to find a job to avoid the wind.
But on the long-distance bus, Wang Youquan received a call from his girlfriend and learned that the madman who was chasing him originally thought he was a murderer.
I have done all this stealing of chickens and dogs, but how can killing people and setting fires wrongfully on their own heads?
Wang Youquan got out of the car halfway and decided to return to the county town and talk to the crazy man to clear his suspicions.
Did you find it?
In the first story, Song Lao'er was about to be hit by a stone pier after finding Yang Shufen.
In the second story, it is natural to explain the final outcome of the matter -
Song Lao'er was unharmed and did not die.
Because Yang Shufen must have called Wang Youquan after being found by Song Lao'er, and Wang Youquan's encounter with Song Lao'er directly proved that Song Lao'er was not dead.
This ingenious narrative approach uses logical reasoning to allow the audience to naturally connect the story together.
Even if there is no clear timeline, the story line is still clearly visible.
After Song Lao'er met with Wang Youquan, Wang Youquan decided to take Song Lao'er to see something.
This one thing can be said to be the key prop of the movie, connecting three stories and connecting all the causes.
On Wang Youquan's stolen motorcycle, there was a white suit of the murderer, and in the suit, in addition to a passbook, there was also a photo -
A big head photo of Song Lao'er.
03, five-star killer Dong Xiaofeng
Dong Xiaofeng's main business is nightclub manager, and the side business is a killer, claiming to be a five-star level service, including your satisfaction.
On this day, he took on a big job and prepared to kill a car repairman.
As long as this work is done, then the house where he and his girlfriend Xiaoping were victimized by the adulterer will be settled.
Although the service is five-star level, Xiaofeng is a bit face blind.
After repeated confirmations, Xiao Feng still regarded Brother Cat as Song Lao'er.
As a five-star killer, the service is in place, but it is a bit off the chain.
After taking pictures of the killing, he was secretly glad that a second-in-command had stolen the motorcycle hanging on the side of the road.
But I glanced at it and found that something was wrong —
His suit still fell on the mo.
Although things went wrong, it was always a successful assassination -
Then, as long as you find the boy who stole the motorcycle, you will be finished.
However, when Xiao Feng returned to the nightclub and was ready to find Xiao Ping to hang out, the boss Gui Brother was already sitting in the box and looked solemn.
When your brother saw Xiao Feng come in, he stood up, pinched Xiao Feng's nose and shouted:
"I told you to repair the whole car, you drove the whole motorcycle." Your mom also claimed to be a five-star killer. ”
Second, Zhang Yiyan pressed Qunfang
In the three intertwined stories, Song Lao'er, Wang Youquan and Dong Xiaofeng are their respective protagonists.
However, Cao Baoping's narrative of the three stories is completely different-
Song Lao'er is a suspense film, he was wronged into the drama by Song Lao'er, and then pursued the truth through one clue after another.
Wang Youquan is a drama film, he is through the complete timeline and scene depiction to state the storyline, fascinating.
Zhang Yi is a comedy.
Yes, It is clear that Zhang is playing the murderer, but it is the happiest to read the story.
When Wang Youquan sat on the long-distance bus in Kunming, Dong Xiaofeng, who was close behind, asked the conductor:
"This car doesn't stop halfway, right?"
"Non-stop, direct."
So Dong Xiaofeng, who was tired of running, slept peacefully in the car.
But when he opened his eyes, he found that Wang Youquan was no longer in his seat.
The angry Wang Youquan even slapped the passengers in the neighboring seat a few times——
You slept on me first, and then I fell asleep!
At that moment, the audience did not rejoice that Wang Youquan had escaped from the heavens, but laughed because of this thief's move.
The most ironic thing is that when Dong Xiaofeng, who was embarrassed and angry, smashed Wang Youquan in full view of everyone on the street, he had no right to do anything, dragged Wang Youquan to a motorcycle driver, and said:
"Come here and take a handle."
"Call the police in an hour."
This scene can be said to be a strong contrast with Song Lao'er being rounded up by villagers in The Stone Village.
The people in the county town are indifferent, and the people in the village are enthusiastic.
Zhang Yi in the film, playing this extremely complex role into the wood three points -
He was fierce, but careless, he killed people like a numb, but he hated the treacherous merchants.
Dong Xiaofeng, who has gathered many contradictions, is undoubtedly an extremely challenging role.
But Zhang Yi acted alive.
It seems that he is Dong Xiaofeng.
A Dong Xiaofeng who killed people in order to buy a house.
Liu Ye's acting skills in the film are undoubtedly successful and excellent in my opinion.
However, compared with Zhang Yiyi, there are still a few points missing.
The recent blockbusters such as "Eight Hundred", "King Kong Chuan", "My Hometown and Me" and so on are all protagonists, even the roles of male one.
Why?
Because the audience recognizes his acting skills and recognizes his eyesight in reading the script.
"Zhang Yiyi's? That can be seen. ”
This sentence seems to ghostwrite the voice of many passers-by fans.
At the age of forty, Zhang Yi has won awards such as Magnolia Emperor, Golden Eagle Emperor, Golden Rooster Award for Best Supporting Actor, Directors Guild Award, University Student Film Festival Film Emperor, Drama Golden Lion Award, etc., and he no longer needs to prove anything to others.
He was no longer the 27-year-old kid who had been bluffed.
More valuable than the gimmick of starring in a movie with a box office of more than 10 billion yuan is that Zhang Yi has more than twenty well-known TV series and movie classic roles.
It seems that Zhang Yi is only away from the title of the old drama bone.
In Soldier Assault, Shi Jin said that as long as you do better today than yesterday, you have done it.
Actor Zhang Yi, he did.
To this day, Zhang Yi has presented us with classic roles such as Shi Jin, Chen Jianghe, He Moxiu, Dong Xiaofeng and so on.
And Fourteen believes that in the future, he will dedicate more and more classic roles to us.
After all.
"There is a translated film, how bad can it be?"
