Since October 30, the TV series "Star Sea" starring Liu Tao and Lin Feng has been broadcast exclusively on Youku Video. Set in the 1990s, the drama tells the story of a group of era strivers who bravely move forward. In the play, the female migrant workers represented by Jane Eyre have experienced the darkest moment and finally ushered in the dawn of victory, which has made the female migrant workers in the Greater Bay Area have a strong resonance. On the occasion of the hit of the series, female workers from all walks of life chased the drama in real time, calling for Jane Eyre fancy online. On November 5, in an interview with the Yangtze Evening News/Purple Cow News reporter, Liu Tao responded to topics such as the "middle-aged idol drama" that the netizens who chased the drama were jokingly called "middle-aged idol dramas", "We are watching the drama and the plot, don't always take the age of the actors themselves to 'spur' the role." ”
Nearly 100 working women cheered up Jane Eyre
Before the start of the broadcast of "The Sea of Stars", because of the emotional rivalry of the male and female protagonists in the trailer, the topic of "crazy literature" was discussed, and after the start of the broadcast, it won the score of cool cloud ratings on the day of the start of the broadcast, becoming the first provincial satellite TV series to achieve such a good result at the premiere this year.
I have to say that the entrepreneurial life of Liu Tao in the play is indeed inspirational enough, in line with the cool drama model loved by the audience. Although the mother cheated on her father, and was almost sold to a trafficker by her aunt, the original family can be described as completely miserable, but Jane Eyre did not succumb to fate. Jane Ai, who went south to Guangzhou to beg for life, started from the bottom, wore the uniform of her girlfriend, mixed into the foreign trade company; spilled a cup of coffee and became acquainted with the male protagonist; saved the merchandiser who committed suicide, so she followed the study and embarked on the road of ace salesman.
The role of Jane Ai restores the current situation of the female workers in the 90s, and the struggle experience of Jane Ai also shows the audience the rapid rise of China's economy in the past 30 years. The creators have illuminated the historical status quo into real life, and "The Sea of Stars" shows the growth and transformation of the struggling youth in the 90s through the character of Jane Eyre, all the way back, and also reflects the vigorous development of Our country at the end of the last century, so that women in the new era bloom the light of independence and autonomy.
"Seeing Jane Eyre is like seeing my young self", speaking of "The Sea of Stars", a group of female strivers from Shenzhen, Guangdong Province, can't help but sigh like this. They come from all walks of life and have different original intentions, but they all choose to stay because of this "one city". "At that time, I worked 12 hours overtime, and I didn't know how I survived," the female workers recalled when they first came out to work, and there was a lot of heartache. "It's common to be complained about by customers," and they have to pay far more than they think for this profession.
In Jane Eyre's body, they saw themselves, and saw jane's strength to dare to rush and not accept defeat, which is exactly what they looked like when they first came to the big city. Today, the female workers have reached middle age, and they have turned their lives into specimens of Jane Eyre's story, and their life trajectory is spread out like Jane Eyre's life in the TV series.
In this regard, Liu Tao said that he was particularly touched when he saw the call video. What this play wants to convey is the spirit of this group of strivers who do not accept defeat. "I am honored to be able to make so many people feel a kind of empathy and empathy in such a play. I did receive a variety of comments from good friends lately, all of whom said that they were quite touched by the drama. There are also many netizens who say that their parents will watch and tell them about some things in that era, how they struggled at that time, how they fought, and how they had today's life. ”
The characters have a great sense of substitution,
It feels like the story of mom and dad
The role of Jane Ai is very different from the role played by Liu Tao before, "We are actually interpreting the characters of the times and showing the style of the times." I admire Jane's tenacity. If she has anything in common with myself, I think she has a fighting spirit. "In Liu Tao's view, the cuteness of this character is that it is both relatively simple and knows what she should do, how to do things well, and is still very upright, very kind, but also very brave and not afraid of things." You can see several (plots), in fact, she is still quite fierce, and she can't move to pick up the bottle and 'headshot'. She laughed and said that she may also have a more "Lu" side in front of others, that is, she will do what she thinks and will not think too much.
Talking about Jane Ai's first entry into the workplace and being bullied and looked down upon, "I think it may be because of the lack of experience, I want to be recognized, and I have to do it step by step through your ability and strength." Therefore, when you first enter the workplace and society, sometimes you can't say that you are bullied, I think this is a necessary process of growth, and everyone will have such an experience, which is very normal. But one day to make them look good, just like Jane Eyre, one day she can rely on her own ability and even change the world. She had that determination and this dream. "Including her establishment of Jane Eyre Women's Wear, to hit the world with her own brand, it shows that she is a very thoughtful, dreamy, capable, and particularly inspirational woman." Even if fate is unfair to her, she will not give up on herself because of it.
For Liu Tao, this role is indeed very substitutionary, and when acting, it also evokes a lot of memories about his parents. "Because my parents are also foreign traders, and my mother is also doing textile foreign trade, so when I read the script, I think it is my parents who don't play!" Because when I was in elementary school and junior high school, they had already gone to Guangzhou to open the Canton Fair, and they would go every year, and when I was a child, I was the kind of person who waited for my parents at the gate of the Canton Fair. Liu Tao said, "If you want to say whether my experience will be helpful to acting, I think there will still be some shadows in it." My father also did foreign trade, in order to be able to negotiate business with foreign businessmen, self-taught English. So in fact, I think that in my parents, I can feel a lot, and when I act, I also evoke my own memories. ”
In the play, Liu Tao squatted to eat a box lunch, and after eating, he took chopsticks to poke at the box lunch, such details made netizens feel quite life experience. In this regard, Liu Tao said, "When I was a child, I lived in the south, and my parents also worked there. Sometimes they would take us to eat something, just as when you saw a meal, they would first take hot water to wash the bowl, chopsticks, and cups, as if this had been the case in the South before. Then including the action of taking chopsticks to insert a box lunch, in fact, it is afraid of being used twice, it is a habit of life. At that time, I saw a lot, and it was natural to write it down. ”
Don't always use the age of the actor to "spur" on the role
For some people who say that this drama is a "middle-aged idol drama", Liu Tao also said, "Maybe everyone pays more attention to age, but in fact, we are watching the plot." People who love to watch are really love to watch, and I think this is the most important, and everyone who watches can find some resonance. For the actor to act in the TV series age problem is always taken to talk about things, Liu Tao has his own views, "I think the actor, you still go to serve a script in the end." Because we are watching the drama and the plot, don't always take the actor himself how old you are, to spur you on to this and that role. ”
For Lin Feng's "roaring to show love" in the play, Liu Tao said, "I think it is because Fang Hengzhi wants it, he always thinks that Jane Ai can do it, but he does not know at all, Jane Ai may not be able to do it." Fang Hengzhi feels that he can give you all the love, but there may be no way to marry you. In fact, Jane Ai doesn't want anything, she wants respect. Jane Eyre is still a very self-loving girl, even though she loves each other very much. ”
Liu Tao said that sometimes when playing a role of what type, there will be a lot of scripts of this type coming to you, and I actually want to play something different, "For example, I really want to play a villain's female number two, there is no such drama to come to me." There are more possibilities for roles that I would like to challenge. ”
