It is undeniable that the story of the Republic of China "Donkey Got Water" is a unique film, its irony is much heavier than the film of the same theme, the film presents the audience with a group with good wishes, but involuntarily loses its nature, gradually degenerates, so that it goes to the abyss of soul destruction, especially zhou Tienan, played by Liu Shuailiang, is the most representative.
Zhou Tienan, the natural science teacher of Sanmin Primary School at that time, tall, straight,a mouth northeast accent, full of righteousness, a look is a righteous man, in the "Donkey Got Water" of the sentient beings, he is the most impressive kind, not moved by money, not to compromise with deception, even if the commissioner who came to investigate came, he can also give a few words to choke, completely ignore who comes, this kind of personality, especially like the legendary green forest good man, although "small can not bear the chaos of the big plot" like the love impulse, But this kind of sincerity of treating people with a straight heart and no distractions still makes people like them have a place in the society, become the backbone of the school, and also become the intimate lover of sun jia, the daughter of the principal.
But "Donkey Got Water" is destined to be a cruel film, this cruelty is reflected in the human nature of everyone tearing the skin and pulling flesh, the most able to tear the appearance of image entertainment, the film's Zhou Tienan is no exception, his most sadistic place is that the two states of existence are completely different from each other, in front of the brave husband, behind is the cowardly real villain, and what causes all this change is just to be frightened by the commissioner's gun, directly on the fart urine stream, bowing to the knee, obedient to the commissioner, In the end, he actually persuaded his lover Sun Jia to marry someone else, and the change was so great that people were caught off guard.
Therefore, from the perspective of performance, the role of Zhou Tienan, the front of geng zhi, the back of the only promise, is simply two personalities of two people, the challenge to Liu Shuailiang is quite large, after all, for an actor, a convincing, can stand the role, need to dig deep into the character, and a front and back Zhou Tienan, is clearly two characters, for the actor, is a double challenge, although the shape will not change, but the expression, eyes, voice, limbs, must have a corresponding progression, In dealing with these places, Liu Shuailiang has a very "craftsman" spirit, which can make people perceive a wisp of emotional fluctuations and personality changes, which is like a new life like "phoenix nirvana".
Of course, the role of Zhou Tienan is actually a "reverse rebirth", after all, after the transformation, from heroic to aggressive to tiger, this kind of growth and depravity, let people feel cold, and under all the appearances, it is a reality that makes people speechless, sadistic. For Liu Shuailiang, debuted for many years, played many impressive roles, the acting level has long been familiar, so it is still very easy to interpret the completely different transformations of Zhou Tienan, for him, the biggest challenge is how to smooth the transition of Zhou Tienan, after all, Zhou Tienan's two eras are completely different, but if the transition is too abrupt, it will appear to have a sense of tearing, and this part of the play, is handled with a sense of ceremony.
At that time, Zhou Tienan was pointed at by the wall, caused by his disposition, and did not have much fear, until a gunshot rang out, instantly fell to the ground, when a cadre of people waited to mourn his death, he slowly woke up, found that this shot did not hit himself, but as if the soul had been taken away, ushered in a new life of scruples, long kneeling prostrations, but also lost his former self. We often say that the ghost door is closed before going through, perhaps Zhou Tienan's situation is the same, the door of life and death, let him have a new understanding of life, that is, no longer strong, better to die than to live, this idea, completely subverted his world view, so there were various changes later.
Zhou Tienan's life, as far as I see it now, is not a tragedy, although his one after the other has brought confusion and pain to too many people, and this kind of crushed life tragedy will make people feel very painful and painful. But just as the so-called "time-conscious person is Junjie", such a person who judges the hour and sizes the situation, there are still many people around us, although "Donkey Got Water" is a Republic of China drama, but borrowing the taste of reality through the ancient metaphor, borrowing the story to metaphorically, it is still very strong, Liu Shuailiang used his heartfelt performance, let people admire, resentment later, and finally in his sudden life of regret, examine their respective living conditions, trigger more thinking.
Liu Shuailiang is still very versatile, it is said that the next work, to play the male protagonist in the campus youth inspirational movie "Middle School Era", from the Republic of China back to modern times, from the primary school in the wilderness back to the modern beautiful and tidy middle school campus, from the primary school teachers baptized by the vicissitudes of the world to cross back to the handsome middle school students, it is indeed fresh, people can't help but look forward to it, and how he opens a new role of inspirational positive energy in this work, this guy, very changeable.
