"In the Distance" is about to end, and the discussion around the show is getting hotter and hotter. Many people feel that the structure of "In the Distance" and "Chicken Feathers Fly to the Sky" are very similar, "In the Distance" is about the history of private express struggle, "Chicken Feathers Fly to the Sky" tells the story of chicken feathers to sugar, but the spirit they convey is the same, the ideal is summoned in the distance, but as long as it is not tied up by reality, chicken feathers can also fly to the sky.
However, due to the "preconceived" stereotype, many people feel that "In the Distance" is slightly inferior. Because the polyamorous love in "In the Distance" has some dog blood, some netizens have rated the lowest score for this drama because of Ma Yili and Liu Ye's dress. The love in "Chicken Feathers Fly to the Sky" is a humane and rustic parental love, and it is relatively more popular with the audience.
Not only did the drama "In the Distance" encounter the fate of being compared, but the actors Liu Ye and Cheng Yu in the play also caused everyone to discuss. Liu Ye's Yao Yuan and Cheng Yu's Lu Zhongxiang have a lot of opponent plays, and there are two of the most wonderful scenes, and most people feel that Liu Ye's strength is a little bit of a witch in front of this old drama bone.
The first time was when Lu Zhongxiang went to the rental house to scold Yao Yuan, he entered the door and first used a few laughs to interpret the pain and anger in his heart, and the tone of his laughter was different, from dull to high-pitched, like an officer who was about to go out on the battlefield, and after throwing away his grief, he would attack with all his might. The second time was when Lu Zhongxiang invited Yao Yuan to his home, he was greeted with a greeting and a smile on his face, but his inner intention was revealed with a look of looking back at Yao Yuan. Compared with Cheng Yu, Liu Ye's performance is slightly thin and weak, and his persuasiveness is poor.
In fact, Liu Ye is not the first time to cooperate with Cheng Yu, they have cooperated in "No War in Peking" before. At that time, Liu Ye's situation in the play was similar to that of Lu Yi in "The Name of the People". Cheng Yu became the most surprising character in "No War in Peking", and he played Ma Hanshan to life. Ma Hanshan, whom he played, was a cute real villain, and when he was judged, he said that the "bastard king and bastard" was extremely joyful, and showed the appearance of the jianghu as a pawn official dragon.
Cheng Yu portrays Ma Hanshan's character very realistically, he is not only a sinister villain, but also loves to collect, which is the shining point of this villain. When Ma Hanshan had to take out his favorite painting of Tang Bohu in order to save his life, Cheng Yu interpreted his appearance of enduring pain and love quite well, which made people feel funny and distressed after watching it.
In the 32 years since Cheng Yu's debut, the most he has played is the role of villain, and the villain he plays has a unique charm. That's because Cheng Yu understands that there are no 100% bad people in the world, and as an actor, you must start from the essence of human nature, find the goodness of bad people, and find the connection between the characters and themselves. The bad guy Cheng Yu has played is not played as the worldly people understand, he feels that although the position of the role is the villain, as an actor to establish a calculation formula, the multiple personalities of the characters are superimposed, and the final result of this calculation is judged by the audience.
Cheng Yu starred as Gao Bin in "Cliff", and he and Zhou Yi, played by Zhang Jiayi, are like Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu, two people who fight openly and secretly, fighting wits and courage. Gao Bin, played by Cheng Yu, sat there, which made people feel the chill on his back, and his smile seemed to be praise, but it was also elusive, and he did not know what kind of plan he would have in his heart. However, even such a vicious secret agent leader will still have his tender side, he likes Zhou Yi's daughter very much, recognizes her as a dry daughter, and names him Sasha.
Cheng Yu's interpretation of the villain has an impact on the audience's values, he makes everyone understand that bad people can't be bad every moment, and his performance reflects a kind of "opposite" tension, which is the charm of his role. When Cheng Yu portrayed Lu Zhongxiang, he also showed his previous skills in shaping villains, Lu Zhongxiang was stubborn and conservative and hot-tempered, but his daughter was his weakness, and his professionalism was also commendable. Such a full and rich character makes us feel very enjoyable after watching it.
Although Cheng Yu is a well-deserved drama bone, he has been in a state of non-popularity for many years. Many viewers may not know his real name at all, but he has an irreplaceable position in the minds of many directors. This is because every scene performed by Cheng Yu is like Mr. Mei Lanfang's Peking Opera performance, if you freeze in the process of running his actions, each of his postures is the most beautiful posture of the body, which is why the director is reluctant to delete one of his plays.
Although there are so many stars in "In the Distance", many netizens have been snatched away by Cheng Yu, a post-50s actor, which also shows that the spring of the villain has arrived, and the "bureau chief professional household" who once played the bad guy is now becoming more and more popular, what is the reason for this? People love villains because, on the one hand, they want to escape the shackles of the real moral order, and on the other hand, because people yearn for complex human nature.
Sometimes, the villain experiences more like a real life, releasing himself in rebellion, wanting to "do evil", but also considering human nature. For example, Amun, a Nazi officer in Schindler's List, hates Jews but falls in love with Jewish maids. Wanting to kiss her but not being able to get close, and finally only slapping the other person, this inner conflict between heaven and man has aroused the common point of the audience.
In "Breaking Bad", Lao Bai's academic talent cannot be realized, but he has exchanged various dirty transactions of "destroying the three views" underground for wealth. The problems encountered by Lao Bai are helpless in real life, but in film and television works, villains like him fight back against absurd life, making people feel refreshed after watching.
The villain played by Cheng Yu also has such magic, although he is silent, but his inner drama is rich, and the bad guy he plays can make people creepy even if he does not say a word, because he is not salty, not light, lukewarm, this role makes it difficult to distinguish between good and bad. If there is such a role as a villain played by Cheng Yu in a play, it will appear particularly stylish. Cheng Yu in the play has a style, and he almost does not have any news outside the play. Therefore, for such a respectable old drama bone, we don't have to worry about him collapsing at all, because his human settings are always in the play!
