"Article 20" has attracted controversy, and Zhao Liying’s experiences in and out of the play are the same
This year’s Spring Festival situation is really good. After all, the quality of the New Year’s films released during the schedule is good, and the box office is also soaring like a broken bamboo. Among them, "Article 20" directed by Zhang Yimou has exceeded 700 million in the five days of its release, and the platform forecasts that the total box office has nearly 2 billion. Today, I also saw a hot search "Article 20 has fallen continuously at the box office", which is quite impressive for such a realistic genre.
The film was in full release, and the word-of-mouth box office was flying all the way, but there were always some people who couldn’t be idle, fearing that the world would not be chaotic, they would smear and lead wars for various films. Just now, I saw the topic of the female lead of "Article 20", making a big fuss with a photo of three actresses, and also intercepting some clips of the main creator’s interview to open up their lust.
I saw someone on the Internet saying, "Why isn’t Mary in C? Why is Zhao Liying in C?" Hearing this very familiar statement that seems to be questioning but actually leading to war, it really makes people look black. This is just one of the fashion blockbusters shot by the cast of "Article 20". Have you seen any other photos? The whole blockbuster takes every actor into account.
For example, this group photo of the whole crew. But from the photo, who is in the C position? Is it Director Zhang Yimou and male lead Lei Jiayin sitting in the center of the front row? Or is it the domineering sister-in-law in the middle of the back row – Takaha? Anyway, everyone has a mouth, and it makes sense to say it anyway.
In addition to the group photo of the three female protagonists above, anyone who buys a ticket and watches the film will not think about it blindly. Originally in the film, Hao Xiuping, the deaf and mute hard-working woman played by Zhao Liying, was a "weak person" who was cared for and protected, and such a position fits the plot of the film quite well. In addition, Gao Ye and Ma Li are unquestionably big sisters from the image, and it is understandable to take care of the little sister.
In fact, the starring order, the film category is also marked clearly, have seen the film know, or very fair and objective, the film official Douyin account released materials always to Lei Jiayin Ma Li family of three content, Zhao Liying video number is not much, but the data is very bright……
Film promotion must be accurate and effective. Looking at the entire "Article 20", all the leading actors are very good, but the biggest topic is undoubtedly Zhao Liying: first, this is the first collaboration between Zhao Liying and Zhang Yimou; second, Zhao Liying plays the deaf and mute, which is also her transformation and challenge at the performance level; third, Zhao Liying has a huge fan base, and fans will not only buy tickets themselves, but also work hard to promote Aidou’s works.
No one would miss this kind of good deed. Facts also proved that the movie materials related to Zhao Liying had gained extremely high popularity.
I have always despised some so-called self-media, always afraid that the world will not be messy, making the whole entertainment a mess. The box office explosion of "Article 20" must be the focus of ride on one’s coattails. Zhao Liying has a lot of popularity, and it is an indisputable fact that everyone wants to step on it to brush their sense of existence. But they ignore the facts and don’t care about the truth. What they want is traffic, or praise or smash, how to write it with attention, and expect to hear objective evaluation from them, it is really unlikely.
It has to be said that the fans did drive the pre-sale results of the film, and Zhao Liying’s high attention and hot topic will naturally drive the popularity of the film and help to arrange the film. You know, the spring season is definitely the king of the film, and the one who arranges the film wins the box office. Everyone knows this truth. At the same time, Zhao Liying’s subversive performance in the film can indeed attract more audiences, which not only strengthens the attraction of the film in terms of theme, but also triggers more ticket-buying expectations through the story behind the character.
Putting aside all the disputes, the film only saw the real chapter after it was released. "Article 20" has indeed had a lot of word-of-mouth, whether it is the creative method of Zhang Yimou, or the performances of a group of leading stars including Lei Jiayin and Ma Li, it has received a lot of praise. Especially Hao Xiuping, played by Zhao Liying, is not only a very important story line that is close to "just defense" in the play, but also the arc of this character in the midst of misery has touched thousands of viewers.
For an actor, playing a deaf-mute person is not only about learning sign language hard, but also about interpreting the inner world of the character through eyes, expressions and body language in a silent performance. Hao Xiuping, played by Zhao Liying, is indeed washed away from the simplicity of the lead in terms of shape, but in terms of performance, it is to understand the hearts of the characters. Her always frightened and angry eyes are the most powerful indictment of the bullying around her.
The part where Hao Xiuping jumped off the building was particularly impressive. The weak woman standing on the rooftop of the building had messy hair, red eyes, and blue veins. She was forced to a dead end. Although she did not want to give up her husband and daughter, she had to die to seek justice and law, and jumped from the upstairs without hesitation… This moment was really heart-piercing.
Of course, a movie can sell well, it is not by one person, it is the credit of all the creators. Especially after the film is released, it is all up to the audience and the market to test. For actors, it is the greatest duty to interpret their roles with heart and do their best to promote the roadshow. The same is true for Zhao Liying, who not only brought a breakthrough performance, but also promoted "Article 20" on Weibo, which has more than 90 million fans, from pre-sale to public release to hot release. It is indeed a strong help for the film.
Counting Zhao Liying’s career path, she debuted in 2006 and has always been conscientious and diligent. In 2013, she played the heroine for the first time in "The Legend of Lu Zhen" and harvested the Golden Eagle Muse of that year, fully opening a new chapter in her career. Over the years, she has starred in "Hua Qiangu" and "The Biography of Chu Qiao", which has brought fire to the fairy drama; after the drama of the Republic of China era began, she starred in "The Old Nine Doors". The novel’s IP drama became popular, and she starred in "Do You Know Whether You Should Be Green, Fat, Red and Thin"; the main melody era arrived, and she starred in "The Wind Blows Half Summer" and "Happiness to Thousands of Families"… Some netizens concluded that Zhao Liying’s TV dramas have completely collected "princes and generals, scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, and immortals and demons". She has indeed been working hard to broaden her breadth and depth at the performance level.
Nowadays, Hao Xiuping in "Article 20" has been wronged, but in reality, the black theory about Zhao Liying in "Article 20" continues. In and outside the play, she seems to be the weak person who needs to be protected and proven. How can we repay her with a fair and objective innocence? The clear person clears itself, let’s pay more attention to the movie, pay attention to the efforts and diligence of the actors, and don’t be distracted by boring fictional topics.
