Huang Lei In Huang Lei's new drama "The Summer of Zhang Weiguo", many people say that Huang Lei has become greasy, his belly has grown, and the flesh on his face has become round. Can a middle-aged male artist ignore his own image?
But in fact, after watching "Longing for Life", I knew that Huang Lei deliberately gained weight in this drama, because the character Zhang Weiguo played by Huang Lei in the drama has the appearance of a Beijing Hutong uncle.
walks every day, rides a bicycle, plays with birds, talks to neighbors, and plays with antiques. He lives an extremely carefree life. This kind of middle-aged man usually doesn't care about his personal image. Being carefree is the most important thing.
So what kind of person would be very concerned about his body shape? This is quite particular. In the drama "The Summer of Zhang Weiguo", people are divided into three types according to their assets.
Local Aboriginals: Getting fat in middle age is standard.
Everyone can know locals when working outside. "Aboriginals" have a very distinctive feature. They own one or even several properties in the local area, which makes them feel quite wealthy; but some The locals' jobs are relatively ordinary, and they can't save much money for daily living expenses.
So they are somewhere between rich and poor. They are much better than migrant workers, but far worse than rich people.
Their lifestyle is usually relatively comfortable because they don’t have to worry about houses and cars.
Zhang Weiguo is obviously this kind of person. Although he also has his own dreams and ambitions, he was injured and broke his back when he was young, so he could only become a tool repairer in the end.
But despite this, he never felt inferior. Even if he rode a bicycle to the most expensive restaurant to eat, he still did not feel embarrassed. This is the self-confidence of indigenous people.
Therefore, Huang Lei's character image in this drama is very appropriate. Although his belly feels a little unbearable, he has the obvious signs of gaining weight of a middle-aged man, and he wears a T-shirt and big pants every day.
Although the brand of clothes is not particular, the clothes must be clean, so in this drama, Huang Lei mostly wears T-shirts of various colors, so being fat in middle age does not mean being greasy.
Or the work clothes of a hard-working aunt,
Or the uniform of a taxi driver,
It is closer to the life of ordinary people. Naturally, such a person will not think of going to the gym to make a living, Because it is difficult for him to make money, let alone impossible Consider going to the gym to get in shape.
Middle class: packaging themselves is also a necessity in the workplace.
However, the "middle class" who have a certain status and reputation in society and have made a certain amount of social wealth are obviously different.
Lin Hongnian, played by Liu Yijun in the play, is a standard middle class person.
Regardless of whether his career is going well or not, he wears a straight suit, a bow tie, shiny leather shoes and a hairstyle like a successful person every day.
Even if he couldn't sleep at night and was lying on the sofa, he would still put on the most high-end silk pajamas and take the health medicine of high-end people.
also needs to package himself when going out to discuss business, so he asks Zhang Weiguo to be his driver to support himself.
The most important thing is that unlike Zhang Weiguo, Lin Hongnian strictly controls his body shape. After all, as a host, image is also part of making money.
This is the difference between the middle class and ordinary people.
They spend huge amounts of money on clothing, body shape, etc., which does not seem to bring any income, but for the middle class, their own image is their brand.
If you package yourself, you can package your own worth.
However, from Lin Hongnian’s forehead and eye wrinkles, we can also see that the middle class needs to put in more effort in order to maintain and transcend.
I would like to add a sentence here, What is the main difference between the nouveau riche and the middle class? The nouveau riche only have money, while the middle class has a certain social image.
There is a party in the play that separates Lin Hongnian, Zhang Weiguo and his nouveau riche classmates.
The nouveau riche usually have a belly bigger than Zhang Weiguo, wear a gold necklace in their hands, and hold a string of Buddhist beads, which not only makes them appear wealthy but also uneducated.
can be summed up in two words: loves to dress.
Those who are one level higher than the middle class are the truly rich.
Freedom of wealth: can help you retain your youth
In this drama, Huang Lei created a different domineering president, Wen Tang (played by 47-year-old Li Jinrong), a happy CEO with a slight stutter.
’s skin is in very good condition, but it seems that no effort has been put into maintaining it.
has a good figure and is in good shape.
Just judging from his clothes, there is a clear difference between people with free wealth and the middle class. They do not pursue the appearance of elites, but rather pursue the expression of independent personality.
The tie is more colorful and the glasses are more personalized. The so-called luxury goods and haute couture are designed to serve this group of people.
does not act vigorously and resolutely, and even feels a little emotional. He introduced a new job to his goddess, and even invested in her ex-husband in order to pursue the goddess.
But it is this seemingly inconsistent style of doing things that highlights how much people with free wealth don't care about money.
When Lin Hongnian was doing things, he just lay on the sofa. He looked very casual and not like a normal meeting. It was very formal. Instead, he asked some irrelevant topics and signed the contract.
So Huang Lei's drama is actually telling us that stuttering does not delay making money and investment, nor does it affect chasing the goddess . As long as you achieve financial freedom, you can retain your youth like a woman.
0-year-old Zhang Weiguo, 52-year-old Lin Hongnian and 47-year-old Wen Tang actually represent three levels of people in this drama. They also reflect very realistically that having money can indeed delay aging to a certain extent. Fat doesn't mean greasy either.
After all, rich people will not run around for an ordinary livelihood. They will have more time to do maintenance and hire professional personal trainers, while ordinary people shuttle between the traffic and traffic, working hard to reach their next goal. land.
