If you have to ask, who is the most impressive character in "Know It or Not", it must be Mo Lan. This is not because Shi Shi recently played the role of "Wu Mei Niang" and was mentioned here, but because in the play, this character is more discussed than any other character.
What is the degree of discussion of Mo Lan, is the appearance value is the actor's acting skills? None of them, but their vision and way of thinking.
I believe that those who have watched "Know It or Not" know that Mo Lan's vision is limited to the insight of the family and the Liang Family, and a woman's insight only comes from her mother-in-law and in-laws, essentially losing, but she actually wants to compete with her sister;
And Mo Lan's way of thinking stems from Lin Xiaoniang, who is a concubine. Although Lin Xiaoniang grew up around Mrs. Sheng, the only thing she learned had long been forgotten, so Mo Lan would only teach her husband and son with the idea of a concubine as the main room.
As a result, Mo Lan thought that he had the favor of his father, and he had no fear everywhere, so that he was not liked by the audience. Maybe Shi Shi's acting skills are so good that when you see her in person, you will still think that even if she is a star, she does not have the comfort brought by ordinary stars, and there is always an indescribable careful thought written on her face, and there is an inexplicable sense of restraint.
When Ding in "Hidden and Great" is released, why does some viewers feel that they can see Mo Lan's shadow on Ding Fang's body, it is precisely because of this sense of restraint. In the play, Shi Shi's acting skills are still good, but Ding Fang, the daughter of the director of the Finance Bureau, and Dong Lijun, a writer, still make people feel restrained.
The atmosphere of not having children seems to have been played to the bone by Shi Shi.
Therefore, in "The Wind Rises", when Shi Shi's interpretation of "Wu Mei Niang" appears, the audience given to people is average. The interpretation of the small actor has a kind of future style in the eyebrows, but when shi Shi grows up, the "imperial atmosphere" brought by the small actor disappears, and it is no wonder that the audience will say: "I feel that I am watching Mo Lan.".
What is missing from Shi Shi's "Wu Mei Niang"? To tell the truth, Shi Shi's acting skills are OK, when guessing that the purse is sewn by xiao bean, the eyebrows do show a sense of shrewdness, so there is no lack of acting skills; but that's all, she stands there without the temperament of a "martial talent", and it is difficult for you to imagine such a talented person, how to become a generation of empresses in the later stage.
What Shi Shi lacks is the underlying feeling of becoming a "Wu Zetian". Because of her mother's reasons and the work her father is engaged in, Wu Meiniang has developed a sense of power since she was a child, and her appearance has become strong and does not look soft because of her long-term desire for power. This point has already been shown by the little actor, but Shi Shi still gives people a kind of "concubine room" taste of a small family.
In the past, there have also been many actresses who have played "Wu Zetian", no matter who it is, even Fan Bingbing can bring this temperament.
First, look at the version of Jia Jingwen in "Supreme Red Face". Jia Jingwen's version of Wu Zetian, in fact, has undergone a lot of adaptations, in principle, the human setting is even inferior to the Shishi version, but what impresses people is that the appearance of Wu Meiniang, who looks weak, has no fortitude in her eyes.
Look at the version of Fan Bingbing in "The Legend of Wu Meiniang". Fan Bingbing because of the reason for the coffee position at that time, there is Wu Zetian's domineering spirit in his bones, although the acting skills can't keep up, but the temperament keeps up, and then slightly transforms the domineering makeup of the previous generation of empresses, which is Wu Meiniang herself.
Finally, take a look at the Yin Tao version of the Secret History of Wu Zetian. This version of Yin Tao can be said to be the childhood shadow of many people, and the eyes have both the fierce heart of the historical Wu Meiniang and the tenderness like water that the emperor likes, just from the appearance of it, I know that this woman is not easy to mess with.
With the standard of Yin Tao placed there, Jia Jingwen's version and Fan Bingbing's version can only be lined up in the back row, so it is more general than the Shi shi version.
In fact, not to mention Shi Shi, today's entertainment industry has not been able to find an actor who can fit the role, and Yin Tao was only 32 years old at that time. Among the 32-year-old actresses today, who can take on this "big responsibility", both acting skills and temperament, it is difficult to have, and even if there is not a big female lead, who will be willing to play a female second in a play.
Even if shi shi's version of Wu Meiniang is still a little worse, and even performs the feeling of "Mo Lan", it will not be criticized. In fact, before this, Shi Shi also played the empress, and it was the empress Wang who was interpreted in "The Legend of Wu Meiniang" that year that she was well known.
At that time, Shi Shi's temperament was very good, and he also interpreted the legendary life of Wang Yuyan from princess to empress with excellent acting skills. Anyway, I hope this actress is getting better and better.
