Co-directed by Cao Dun and Jing Chong, and starring Dong Jie, Yin Fang and Lu Fangsheng, the urban family emotional drama "Hello! "Mother Adult" is currently airing. The episode is based on the bad student essay collection "On the Clouds: Goodbye! "Mother Adult" is adapted, telling the life story of an ordinary mother and son in a small town in northern Jiangsu Province spanning thirty years. A few days ago, Dong Jie was interviewed by a reporter from the Beijing News, Dong Jie said that her resonance with the "mother" Ding Biyun is that she is also a single mother, so when she saw the "son" Ding Xiaojun in the play when he was young, from junior high school to high school, it seemed that he got along with his son. "Because of my own experience of taking children alone, I can empathize with Ding Biyun more."
They are all single mothers, which makes Dong Jie more empathetic to Ding Biyun.
Acting: Director Cao Dun inspired me to interpret the character with instinct
In Dong Jie's view, "Hello! The attraction of "Mother Adult" is that in the previous era, such as her own mother, aunt, many women are mothers like Ding Biyun, her life is for the children, for the family to pay, "This story is very true, telling the life of ordinary mothers, and the growth of children." In addition, another important reason why Dong Jie took over this drama is because of director Cao Dun, "Director Cao Dun often reminds me of some details and emotions that I have overlooked." What he wants is the most sincere expression, not false, not deliberate. So I got a lot of inspiration from him, the actor should start from the heart to interpret, with instinct to interpret the role, rather than with skill. ”
Dong Jie said that she has always believed that Ding Xiaojun in Ding Biyun's eyes is the only one in Ding Biyun's life. "There are some dramas, especially after Ding Biyun fell ill in his later years, he often went to watch Ding Xiaojun for a long time. If in this situation in my life, I am facing my son, I would also like to have more time to see him. This is a mother's affection and sustenance for her son. ”
Ding Xiaojun was the only one in Ding Biyun's life.
Character: She is braver than many women in the face of difficulties
The narrative about mother and son in the play is parallel, and in the intersection of the two lines of Ding Biyun and her son, we see the complete life of this mother, as well as Ding Biyun's choice and dedication. Ding Biyun also has dreams, there is also her girlhood, there is her love for her marriage. This is also a big reason why this character attracts Dong Jie, "Her character is very complete. It does not just reflect a stage in which a mother and her son get along, but a complete interpretation of the mother's life. ”
In the play, Ding Biyun has to cross the age span of 30 years, and for Dong Jie, this is also something she has never tried before. In the first few episodes, Ding Biyun took her son Ding Xiaojun alone and encountered many difficulties, but in every difficult time, there is a force that can support her to go down. In Dong Jie's view, part of this power comes from Ding Biyun herself, who is a very strong and brave woman herself. The other part is the love for the son, the protection of a maternal instinct.
Ding Biyun in every setback, when life puts difficulties on her, she also has hope for life, "There are some women who are easy to compromise with life, easy to obey or accept, but Ding Biyun is different from other women, she is always in a difficult situation to find a way out." "For example, after Ding Biyun lost her job in a foreign company, she went to work, she could do things with a sewing machine, and worked hard to fight for the job in the weaving factory; even if she was laid off, she did not give up, she still tried to find a way to come to a set of useless machines in the factory and open a sweater shop at home." In the face of difficulties, she is braver than many women and will take the initiative to look for opportunities. ”
Ding Biyun has a tough personality.
Love: Between Ding Biyun and Mei Zhong is the middle-aged view of love
Many viewers were touched by the love between Ding Biyun and Mei Zhong in the play, Mei Zhong is a warm male character who appeared after Ding Biyun's divorce, and gave ding Biyun enough understanding and protection in the experience of losing her job and raising her young son alone.
In Dong Jie's view, between Ding Biyun and Mei Zhong is a middle-aged view of love, very subtle and restrained, "Maybe when this love cannot be completed, it will make people sad." But on the contrary, I also think that it is precisely because of their implicit and restrained love that they have created the ultimate romance. This is very different from the direct expression of young people. I prefer the implicit love of Mei Zhong and Ding Biyun. ”
Partner: During the filming period, I wanted to protect him everywhere
Dong Jie and the actor Yin Fang, who plays her son Ding Xiaojun, are only 6 years old in life, and according to Dong Jie's recollection, at first she was also particularly worried that Yin Fang would not believe that she was his mother. When the two first met, the machine was already turned on, and Dong Jie and Yin Fang were far away, and secretly looked at him first. "I want to say, heck, look at what this son looks like, and then I saw him. There was a particularly strange tacit understanding, or a premonition, that for a moment I felt that he could be the son of my heart, and I believed that he was my son. ”
Dong Jie and Yin Fang cooperated happily.
Dong Jie said that in retrospect, this premonition comes from the fact that the personalities of her and Yin Fang are quite similar, neither of them is a very extroverted person, and there are not many words. "During the filming period, I wanted to protect him everywhere, because this scene was particularly similar to Yin Fang (experience), so I was particularly distressed about him. This sense of substitution may be even stronger. ”
