From Luo Yuzhu selling buttons in "Chicken Feathers Fly to the Sky" to Yang Tour's exchange of eggs for steamed buns in "Big Rivers and Great Rivers", the epitome of the era of individual economy has been presented in many film and television dramas, and their stories are true and infectious.
The fourth episode of "Ideal Shines on China", "Buttons"
Facing the wave of reform, we will march forward with great vigor and seize the opportunities of the times.
Leading actors; Zhang Jingyi, Niu Junfeng, Zhao Luoran
Based on the real individual industrial and commercial first person Zhang Huamei, the story of this episode was created, and overall, this episode is less like a story, more like a kind of film and television historical data, as the first person must have her extraordinary side.
And the choice of the protagonist in the play seems to be a little flawed
Niu Junfeng plays a kind of small clerk in the play, this profession now looks more like a city manager, and it is precisely this role in this drama that is largely like Zhao Zhiyong of "Hidden and Great", except that he is better than zhao Zhiyong in the era, so the ending of the character is also more bright.
Niu Junfeng's acting skills are also very stable, this role is not his first time to play, so many things are natural, maybe from his eyes sometimes I occasionally appear Zhao Zhiyong's sadness at that time, but looking at the clothes he is wearing and the people behind him, all this sadness has disappeared.
In this story, he did not leapfrog the transformation, just grew step by step in thought and cognition, did not blacken, but only did what he could do, he and they all had made a contribution to the emergence of the individual economy, filled in a tile, and the smiling faces and understanding of these people were the symbols of the beauty of the times.
The selection of the heroine is Zhang Jingyi, whether it is the modeling or the overall acting skills, it always makes people feel that the part of empathy is missing.
Niu Junfeng's affection is a bit immobile with Zhang Jingyi's "idol" baggage
The face is obviously deliberately darkened, although it tries to show some "cotton pants waist" like a woman's state, but the creases on the pants and clothes are too obvious, not like people who wear it every day and are busy with life.
A woman can be very clean, but every day in order to make a living all kinds of rushes, but also only has a set of clothes, then her clothes have no dust can be understood, but the folds are too neat and tidy is very unreasonable.
The clothes are washed many times, and every time they sell something, they are also chased by various kinds, and there is no depreciation and no patches, is it true that the heroine had a lot of clothes to change and wear at that time?
This is a bit confusing
Secondly, Zhang Jingyi's acting skills, I always feel that her performance this time carries too much baggage of youth dramas, not like the women of that era, more like Li Anran in "The Sky of the Wind Dog Teenager".
After being chased to the bridge, it was raining in the sky, which covered up her tears and greatly set off the sad atmosphere, and her performance was more like shouting for shouting, crying for crying, too wanted to shout loudly, and what was missing was the empathy and realism brought by it.
The character itself sells buttons to raise a large family, and the last time it was confiscated two bags, this time the buttons are also borrowed to sell, at this time it is to force people to the dead end, although the character is only 19 years old, once in such a scene, the degree of sadness is unimaginable.
So this crying scene should account for a large share of empathy in the play, but Zhang Jingyi's crying still has a lot of room for improvement, maybe this is the limit of her understanding, can not say very bad, can only say that there is a little bit of empathy.
On the contrary, the sister in this drama, that is, the supporting actress (played by Zhao Luoran) who borrowed the button by the heroine, has the texture of the heroine.
It seems to be very weak, but the eyes and the overall temperament are dignified and decent, and the attitude of handling things is also very resolute and without hesitation, that is, it does not show the explosive power of the crying scene in the play, and I don't know whether it is suitable for being a heroine.
Although there are not many shots in the scene, it feels very good, and every time there is a shot of her, it is also very noticeable.
If this drama allows Zhang Jingyi and Zhao Luoran to swap roles, it may show a more empathetic and realistic effect.
The rest of the supporting characters in the story are also very fascinating, but the short length presents a very important turning point story in the stage of the era, the hardships of which are actually difficult to fully show in an episode of the story, but this drama will also become a spark after watching, from here to understand the value of a button in that era.
How do you think Niu Junfeng and Zhang Jingyi performed?
