15 years ago, Zhao Liying played the role of Wen Li's most disliked daughter Duoduo in " Golden Wedding " directed by Zheng Xiaolong . She only had a few lines in three or four episodes, and was only exposed when the family was having dinner. How many faces.
Zhao Liying's situation back then was somewhat similar to Tong Duoduo . She was born in a rural area and had low education. When she first entered the entertainment industry, she was ridiculed for her poor image.
Zhao Liying, who later became the leader of 85 Flowers, appeared on a variety show. Talking about her first drama, she said that she was so nervous at the time that her lines were reduced to two words, and she could not say the last word.
Ordinary actresses will most likely avoid similar roles in the past. Since they have been ridiculed in the past, they should try to play foreign-style roles, preferably tall urban drama queens.
But Zhao Liying is not an ordinary actress.
After 15 years, I collaborated with Zheng Xiaolong again and played a rural girl in a wedding scene, wearing a bright red wedding dress. The son of the village party secretary played by Cao Zheng did not do good things in the drama, but one sentence was right, "That little daughter-in-law" It's a bit interesting, it looks like a mascot, and it's so cruel! "
is so cruel, he doesn't even have a single line, he just does it.
Kicked the door open and you could feel her raging anger from eight feet away.
won't talk nonsense to you when he comes here. He will catch the bastard who bullied his sister, put him in a bottle and open the ladle directly.
His skills are like lightning and his eyes are like fire.
From the sweet girl in the ancient puppet show to the fierce girl who fucked the assholes in the first episode, the huge contrast brought a lot of attention and discussion to the premiere of " Happiness to Ten Thousands of ". Before the launch of
, the number of reservations on the platform exceeded 3 million. The first broadcast of Dragon TV and had a rating of 0.396 and Beijing Satellite TV 0.437. One satellite TV was second and the other was first. Especially for Beijing Satellite TV, direct ratings have soared.
quickly reached the top spot on the Internet.
The audience immediately jumped into the drama after watching it. Some people said: This drama treats hypotension.
successfully launched Zhao Liying's first rural drama, and also opened the ceiling of traffic for realistic themes.
Tao Hong once talked about the transformation of actors: "You play an eggplant, and all the purple colors come to you."
finally spent 15 years and one night to play the role of He Xingfu's Zhao Liying, from ancient times this "eggplant" "The image jumped out.
1. The drama was about filming a "marriage drama" in the countryside. The victim actually apologized to the perpetrator. This drama was too dare to be filmed.
According to the routine, most rural dramas will start from a very small point and then introduce the protagonist.
In contrast, "Happiness to Ten Thousands of Homes" obviously has a different design. From the very beginning, it was a three-hit combo of strong plots, which directly filled up the drama conflict and , and created the image of He Xingfu.
The first big scene, the wedding banquet.
This is probably the best wedding banquet scene filmed in a Chinese drama in recent years.
At the beginning, the new daughter-in-law He Xingfu married into the Wang family in Wanjiazhuang. Her husband's name was Wang Qinglai. He was an ordinary-looking man who looked very honest.
The wedding convoy drove through the small countryside, with beautiful mountains and clear waters, and the village was full of joy, giving it a new look of the new socialist countryside.
Then there is a long shot of the wedding, following the perspective of the Wang family’s mother-in-law, the whole wedding scene is slipped through.
There was chicken, duck and fish at the banquet. The blind date attending the wedding banquet was munching on melon seeds. The older men shared the table with white wine. The women and their children shared the table with large bottles of Coke and juice.
Children were running around and quarreling at the wedding, and melon seed peels were scattered on the ground. Zheng Xiaolong’s camera language proved that he is a director who truly understands rural areas. The entire scene was skillfully coordinated, and and were superior. The rural wedding had a strong atmosphere. When you look at it, you will feel as if you were eating in the village when you were a child.
But the lively and harmonious atmosphere is full of details. For example, the Wang family’s father-in-law and mother-in-law asked the host not to start because they had to wait for Wan Zhishu to arrive.
Secretary Wan was called to the stage to speak, and he accidentally said that the Wang family was a minor surname in the village.
Wang's mother-in-law even stopped worshiping at the church and asked the newlyweds to bow to Wanshan Hall at the wedding. Even Wanshantang said they couldn't do it.
In this scene, we can also see that He Xingfu is kind and gentle but also understands the ways of the world. She also asked her sister He Xingfu to help her family stop drinking so as not to suffer a loss. Another detail of
is that the wedding camera was following the whole process. This key detail is also key evidence for He Xingfu's future lawsuit.
Many rural dramas have been filmed for a long time and the audience still can’t feel the countryside. But after this scene, the audience felt like following the protagonist to a wedding banquet in Wanjiazhuang, cracking melon seeds and watching the excitement.
Next, it’s time to take on the main role.
The second big drama is the wedding.
This is also the scene that reveals the reality of all living beings in the countryside.
As soon as the camera turned, Wan Chuanjia, the son of Wan Shan Tang, played by Cao Zheng, shuddered, and an accident happened.
Wanjiazhuang has always had the custom of "arguing marriages". This time the Wanchuan family fell in love with He Xingfu's sister He Xuxun, and led a group of people to block the girl into the house.
He Xingfu realized something was wrong, rushed into the room, lifted the stool and opened Wan Chuanjia's head.
In the words of Cao Zheng, who plays Wan Chuanjia, this bench was smashed!
But the next scene began to raise the collective blood pressure of the audience.
First of all, when the Wang family’s parents-in-law saw that Wan Chuan’s family was being smashed, they went to Wan Shan Tang to apologize without saying anything. The mother-in-law also slapped herself.
Then the villagers who were eating at the banquet saw that the secretary had left, and they also left one after another.
After the incident got serious, the villagers not only had no sympathy for the Wang family, but also talked behind their backs, saying how the Wang family could be ungrateful.
Zhao Dongling, who wrote "Police Honor", is still outstanding in writing about the humanity and sophistication of the folks in the countryside.
The mutual tolerance and help in the market are just fireworks, but human relationships are not always good.
All the villagers thought so, and the Wan family decided that they had done nothing wrong. The daughter-in-law of the Wan Chuan family went directly to beat and fire the Wang family's sister-in-law.
If this is not angry enough, the next plot should be enough to keep people awake - that is, even the Wang family themselves feel that "if you like to make trouble, you have to make trouble"!
After the "marriage incident", He Xingfu insisted on asking for an explanation. Her mother-in-law persuaded her that the Wang family was a small family in Wanjiazhuang and had no power, so she had to endure it.
My father-in-law was even more irritating. He would kneel down at every turn when he was outside, but when he came home he would loudly accuse Xingfu, saying that the Wang family did not dare to have such a troublesome daughter-in-law.
Husband Wang Qinglai said, "We can all endure it, why can't you endure it anymore?"
Please, what are you enduring?
Because she lost her job at Wanjia Group, her sister-in-law got angry directly at He Xingfu, "You have destroyed my house with this bench."
This scene is a perfect example of "marriage drama".
The focus is not on the marriage drama itself, but on the backward rural culture and social concepts behind the marriage drama. "Marriage drama is a drama" is not the most irritating thing. What is even more irritating is that social concepts are accustomed to the theory of female guilt.
The bullied heroine’s sister not only did not get comfort from her boyfriend, but she was asked this ridiculous question: "There are so many people, why did he bother you alone?" Then she broke up with He Xuxun. It’s okay not to be such a bastard.
But the Wan family is confident, and behind the Wang family's low tone is the inherent power of the countryside, and there are also constant marriage customs to "support" the Wan family.
If it were someone else, I would have tolerated it. But this time the heroine is so happy.
The third big drama is when He Xingfu breaks the situation - he files a lawsuit.
After smashing the bench, He Xingfu was not afraid at all. Instead, he said in an unassuming and humble manner: "What happened to the secretary's son?"
"I smashed him. If anything happens to me, I'll be responsible for it."
Next Facing the Wang family's advice to her to settle the matter, it was so satisfying to watch the scene where he denounced her parents-in-law: "What others can tolerate is their business, I can't stand it anyway."
From this, the confrontation between He Xingfu and Wanjia, and even the old ideas behind the entire bad marriage habit, started.
As the weaker side, whether He Xingfu can persevere to the end is full of suspense.
Watching the trailer, He Xingfu is simply too handsome. He cut off his own escape path first: If the Wang family doesn’t want me as their daughter-in-law because of this, I will admit it.
then went to Wan Shan Tang to ask for an explanation. Wanshantang said, what if I don’t give you an explanation? "Then I'll sue the higher authorities!"
Undoubtedly different from other rural dramas, the first two episodes of "Happiness to Ten Thousands of Homes" go straight to the point, raising the dramatic tension to the fullest, making people full of expectations.
also makes people look forward to the inspirational story of the heroine going to work in the city, and finally returning to the countryside to open a B&B and becoming the new leader of Wanjia Village. Although the
series has a dramatic opening, it does not make people feel that the filming is frivolous, suspended, or deliberate, because the story is full of real rural details.
Zheng Xiaolong has finally figured out how to film rural scenes this time.
2. The acting skills of all the actors are online, Zhao Liying is steady, Wang's parents-in-law are unexpected, Liu Wei surprise
It's not enough that Zheng Xiaolong understands the tricks, what's even more amazing is that all the actors understand the tricks clearly. Before the broadcast of
, everyone was both looking forward to and worried about Zhao Liying's acting skills.
What I am looking forward to is that Zhao Liying will finally act in a rural drama. Regardless of whether it is a transformation or not, this step is big enough.
is worried that many actresses will "land on their faces" when they go to earth, not to mention that they will inevitably encounter comparisons with Gong Li . To put it bluntly, only Zhao Liying is so brave and dares to take on this drama.
Fortunately, this time, Zhao Liying handed in a good answer sheet. Not to mention the perfect score, 80 points is a solid score. The stability of
is reflected in two aspects.
The first aspect is the stability of temperament.
I am used to acting in urban dramas and top-notch rural dramas. What I fear most is that the temperament is not right. If the audience feels that He Xingfu does not look like a rural girl, the whole drama will be in vain, because the whole story is based on He Xingfu. on the basis of.
Zhao Liying's words, deeds, actions, temperament and demeanor make you feel that she is a real daughter-in-law who married to Wanjiazhuang.
Some viewers compared Gong Li's image in "Qiu Ju's Lawsuit" and thought that Zhao Liying's performance was not like it. I totally disagree with this. Have the people who questioned it been to the current New Countryside? Is it right for this generation of country girls to act like they did many years ago?
The second aspect is the stability of acting skills.
After a large wave of ancient puppet hits, Zhao Liying was gradually labeled as the "heroine of ancient puppet drama", but her acting skills in "Happiness Comes to Ten Thousands of Houses" were breakthroughs.
First of all, she grasped the essence of He Xingfu's character, not because she has any forward thinking, but because behind her simplicity and kindness, she maintains a common sense - everything must be reasonable.
So after my sister was molested, I vowed to seek an explanation.
Then in terms of performance emotions, you can see that the characters have changed. She is angry at Wan Chuanjia who bullied her sister, feels hurt towards her sister, feels wronged towards her in-laws who do not understand her, and is angry at her cowardly husband.
So when she heard the villagers talking about her behind her back, she felt sad and helpless at first, and then she was so angry that she stepped forward to reason with the other person.
When faced with her husband's incomprehension, she argued with reason. She was so angry that she fell asleep when facing her husband.
The highlight of Zhao Liying's performance was when the heroine's husband's family gave her 1,000 yuan in order to prevent the heroine from continuing to ask for an explanation. They deceived her into thinking that the Wan family used it to apologize. Xingfu believed it, but didn't want to accept the money, so she went She went to Wan Shan Tang to pay back the money, but Wan Shan Tang said she was dreaming. Only then did she realize that she had been cheated.
Zhao Liying's emotional changes at the moment she learned the truth were one of sudden awakening, unwillingness and anger, as well as powerlessness, helplessness and exhaustion.
The transition between the two psychological changes is natural. In the past, ancient puppet dramas did not need to perform such a large-scale psychological drama, but now it is needed, and Zhao Liying supports it.
In addition to Zhao Liying, another surprising presence in this drama is the Wang family’s parents-in-law.
Especially Chi Peng who plays the mother-in-law.
As long as the performance of the father-in-law is annoying, it is enough for Chi Peng to perform the mother-in-law's sophistication, blame and defense of the daughter-in-law, and the heartache at the same time.
Liu Wei's performance is also surprising.
Wan Shantang, the party secretary of Wanjiazhuang Village, can easily be played in a simple and crude way.
But Liu Wei’s performance is very layered.
The Wang family is a minor surname in the village, but he still came to celebrate and sent out sincere blessings, proving that he is a good party secretary and not a bad person.
When his son was beaten, he really showed the angry mentality of a father, which can make people feel the same through the screen.
But when he returned home and listened to his wife and son complaining about He Xingfu, he knew in his heart that his son was at fault, but it was difficult to express his opinion. Hearing that his son was going to seek revenge on He Xingfu, he immediately shouted and stopped him. He can tell the difference between black and white.
But when He Xingfu came to his door, his protective side came out immediately. Just sitting there gave him a feeling of not being angry and intimidating. He obviously wanted to suppress the opponent's momentum. He knew his mistakes but did not admit them. The role of
has a complete character arc light , and the emotions will reverse many times. Liu Wei's performance is reassuring enough.
The performance of all the actors so far is very qualified, including Zhang Keying whose acting skills were questioned in " Awakening Age ".
Some unpleasant characters are also well portrayed, such as Wan Chuanjia played by Cao Zheng, who has a mischievous and mischievous attitude, but not a bad one. The slap he gave to his wife was a relief.
Tang Zeng also played two sides of the heroine's husband. He is truly in love and happy, but also truly afraid of trouble.
These collective outstanding performances make the entire show convincing.
3. Finally, there is a Chinese drama that breaks the boundaries of realistic themes and dramas with female protagonists at the same time.
"Happiness to Ten Thousands of Homes" has had a good start, and director Zheng Xiaolong and "Police Honor" screenwriter Zhao Dongling certainly contributed a lot.
Finally, we have a director who knows how to make rural dramas, reality dramas and female dramas at the same time. The best thing about the first two episodes of
is that it is natural, the drama conflicts are natural, the actors are real, and there are no weird filters. Zhao Liying wore bridal makeup in the first episode, and she was so angry that she went to bed without taking off her makeup. In the second episode, she had dark circles under her eyes. It can be seen that this is the patent of great directors.
But Zheng Xiaolong has his own reasons for becoming a great director. The stories in the first two episodes are very down-to-earth and pyrotechnics, the characters are well-organized, and the characters of the protagonist and supporting characters are revealed, and they naturally enter the hearts of the audience.
The most rare thing is that the story does not "beautify" the countryside, nor does it vilify it, but looks down upon it. The opening of the
series captures the loveliness of the countryside and the limitations of marriage, from the wine table culture, clan reality to rural customs.
Because the filming was so realistic, the blood pressure of some viewers soared.
There is a detail in the drama that the daughter-in-law of the Wan family who bullies others and slaps the sister-in-law of the Wang family cannot serve on the table when she comes home to eat. She does not dare to resist even after being slapped by her husband. This shows that the screenwriter Zhao Dongling really understands rural culture. When talking about the creative concept,
director Zheng Xiaolong said: "In the past two years, there have been a large number of works on the market that tell the story of rural areas changing from poverty to wealth. However, the story of the new countryside is not only limited to changing from poverty to wealth, but also should include the construction of spiritual civilization, the rule of law, etc. There have been some real changes in this aspect. As a work with a realistic theme, "Happiness to Ten Thousand Houses" reflects more sharply the contradiction between some rural "old customs" and "new concepts", and has a more realistic description of the current countryside. "
This is a true story. The presentation is put into the current story, and the audience sees it.
After two episodes, the real rural scenery, solid rural group portraits, sharp and profound themes, etc. have all shown the atmosphere of a realistic drama.
But the most surprising thing is that the series finally solved many bugs of domestic female dramas.
For example, this drama is truly concerned about the fate of women.
In the past, many Chinese dramas with female themes either used the guise of dramas with female protagonists as Mary Sues, or they ignored the logic of reality and let the heroines use their golden fingers.To put it bluntly,
is to create topics and attract traffic.
But Zheng Xiaolong and Zhao Dongling don’t like traffic dramas.
This old-school creative habit has made this story possible. Now everything in the drama is the result of respecting the rules of drama and reality, so the audience can empathize with it. The audience's anger is not because the screenwriter imposes dramatic conflicts to make the audience angry, but the existence in reality. Many of the phenomena themselves are infuriating, and the creators just incorporated them into the story.
Judging from the ratings and popularity, the series is likely to go up all the way, because stronger dramatic conflicts and better-looking stories are to come, and Luo Jin, Wang Zhifei and other acting talents have not yet appeared.
But more importantly, I saw many "answers" to domestic dramas in "Happiness to Ten Thousands of Homes".
For example, how to film female dramas and reality dramas? How to resolve dramatic conflicts and balance them with reality? How to solve the problem of Zhang Yimou movie being first and the audience being preconceptions? How to make a 85-year-old into a convincing village girl in the new socialist countryside?
All this seems difficult, but Zheng Xiaolong solved all the above problems using the simplest rule. This simplest rule is: art comes from life and is higher than life. #飞罗国剧Observation#
