A few months ago, Harbin became popular, in fact, as early as more than 100 years ago, Harbin was the world's top city, is a highly international hub in the Middle East, where Eastern and Western cultures meet, merge, and precipitate, leaving a page full of bitter and humiliating memories, and also provides a very charming story background for film and television dramas such as "Harbin at Night", "Cliff", "Harbin 1944", and has achieved a series of screen images that are deeply rooted in the hearts of Wang Yimin, Zhou Yi, and Song Zhuowen.
In this list, there must be Guan Xue played by Yang Mi. Before "Harbin 1944", there had never been a spy war drama that had so strongly depicted a villain female spy, a fashionable and beautiful young woman, how murderous methods and a strong heart she had to be in order to play with the group of vicious spies under her. All this is difficult to figure out with common sense, so when the series first started, many viewers took it for granted that Guan Xue's image was superficial and labeled, and felt that the reason why such a female devil was set was nothing more than forcibly upgrading the dramatic effect.
But when the plot gradually unfolded, Guan Xue's image became more and more full, more and more internal, and the audience became more and more able to understand Yang Mi's interpretation. In the first half of the story, Yang Mi used a wide open and closed performance method, mercilessly scolded and reprimanded, and released Guan Xue's sharpness without concealment. Some people think that Guan Xue's mood is floating and Yang Mi's interpretation is exaggerated, but as everyone knows, this happens to be Guan Xue's disguise and the appearance of being strong and dry. Yang Mi grasped the scale between mania and normality just right. Viewers with God's perspective have said that they were "deceived by Guan Xue".
On the one hand, she did whatever it took to capture the underground party and military commanders, collect intelligence, investigate internal ghosts, and have blood on her hands, on the other hand, she and Song Zhuowen are also enemies and enemies, repeatedly switching between multiple identities and grievances, and she has also let Song Zhuowen go intentionally or unintentionally, and her mentality is very delicate.
Guan Xue is not good at acting, but Yang Mi can carry the play, not only was he not dragged down, but he became more and more relaxed, and performed the emotional tension visible to the naked eye. For example, after experiencing a car bomb, on the dance floor of Paramount, Guan Xue and Song Zhuowen danced and had a conversation, from "If anything happens again, don't think about anything, don't care about anything" to "If you win, will you let me go?" Some of these lines are true and false, conveying the indescribable mood to the other party in a joking way, and some are hiding knives in laughter, seemingly a very relaxed and natural dialogue, but in fact it is a temptation one by one.
At that time, every expression and word Song Zhuowen said could change the direction of the story, and Guan Xue's every look, every word, and light dance steps were beautiful traps, mixed with wonderful and dangerous meanings.
This dialogue also previews the final fate of the characters. In the finale of "Harbin 1944", Guan Xue became restrained and introverted, without the presumptuous and presumptuous in the early stage, only the shattered and vicissitudes of discouragement. When sending the other party away, he carefully took out a photo to verify, "Do I think who he is, he is?" After getting the answer of "he is Zhuo Wu", Guan Xue returned to the table and cried while eating, tears raining down.
This scene went from forbearance to outburst, and Guan Xue's lifelong love, hatred and obsession, crime and pain were all released with the water in his eyes, poking the audience's tears, Yang Mi used such a super emotional appeal to write a highlight end to the fate of the character.
If Song Zhuowen is a candle flame in the dark, symbolizing hope and faith, then Guan Xue is a swamp in the sun, a metaphor for hatred and despair. Looking back on Yang Mi's interpretation of Guan Xue in the whole play, in fact, she has been wandering between the poles of receiving and receiving, in front of people is a ruthless and unspeakable female devil, but behind the people, she is still the girl who is scarred and extremely sensitive in her heart, her various perverse and beautiful outfits are nothing more than to hide the loneliness and helplessness in her heart, and the only light in her heart may be Song Zhuowu who saved her and Guan Kai back then.
With a vivid and connotative performance, Yang Mi combined one clear plot after another with the fragments of memory to piece together a complete and three-dimensional Guan Xue, and in the final crying scene, all emotions were released in an open manner, making the audience sigh for her fate.
Through "Harbin 1944", we have seen a different pattern and technique, a series of characters with unique charm, and a group of actors who are still growing.
