came, came, floated to pay off the debt.

"Criminal Investigation Diary" with a score of 8.3 on Douban, I will show you the cards today.

Douban's

This Hong Kong drama, which starts off crazy, is quite a return to the Hong Kong drama tradition of "everything goes too far, everything goes crazy". So far,

has been aired, and it’s hard to say whether it’s a bad show or not.

At least one thing is recognized as good -

You can always believe Hui Yinghong

Douban's

Hui Yinghong is unique in playing this kind of slightly neurotic evil mother.

Douban's

Even in "Criminal Investigation Diary" where everyone is insane, Yang Bixin, played by Hui Yinghong, is also the most sick person.

She is a mother who suffers from severe schizophrenia.

auditory hallucinations , visual hallucinations , it felt like the whole world wanted to kill her.

Douban's

She often "sees" a noble lady and a little girl.

looked down at her misery with a compassionate attitude and encouraged her to commit suicide.

Moreover, you should take a pair of children with you.

Therefore, she almost poisoned a young girl, so she had no choice but to flee far away for treatment in a foreign land.

Douban's

Douban's 7 years later, she returned to China again.

The disease has not yet been cured, and he has multiple "faces", struggling between normality and madness at any time.

Therefore, the magical switching of "changing faces in seconds" has become Yang Bixin's must-have performance in every episode.

Douban's

is like a ghost mother, walking between the human world and ghosts.

is Yang Bixin, and it is also the face of "middle girl" Hui Yinghong that has been repeatedly remembered by the audience in recent years.

hysterical, irrational, and extreme.

It’s hard to get her turn as a good wife and loving housewife.

On the screen, her big eyes often reveal despair, madness and resentment.

But this kind of role is not fresh, and every time she performs it, people can taste it differently.

What’s even better is that she can give a sense of respect to characters no matter how detestable they are.

For example, Mrs. Tang in "Blood Guanyin".

She is the widow of General Tang.

carries the needle like a noble lady. She seems to be in the antique business, but in fact she is a middleman who operates behind closed doors between politics and business.

Mrs. Tang’s daughter and granddaughter are all treated as commodities to be sold at a high price.

There is a scene in the film where she is chatting with her daughter Tangning (Wu Kexi).

Three points of the story are said, and the remaining seven points of the play are left in the corners of the eyebrows and eyes for people to appreciate carefully.

Tang Ning had a good chat with her and moved over to her.

Mrs. Tang smiled, touched her head, patted her knees, put her daughter on her pillow, and continued to stroke her hair.

Douban's

This is a rare tender moment between mother and daughter.

Then Mrs. Tang smiled and handed out a knife: "Do you remember Captain Liao?"

Pay attention to details.

When she asked this question, she gradually stopped smiling, and at the end of her words, she raised her eyebrows proudly.

After receiving her daughter's soft affirmation, her smile slowly overflowed again. What does

Douban's

mean? She had rehearsed this set of words in advance.

The previous encouragement of small animal-like overtures is just a foreshadowing.

is to relax her daughter's guard and fall into the trap she created with love.

But when Tang Ning saw through her plot and refused to marry Captain Liao as her stepmother, the distance between the two became distant and the atmosphere suddenly turned cold.

Mrs. Tang pushed Tang Ning and said something that probably all parents in the world have said:

I'm just doing it for your own good

Douban's

She spoke as if she was caring, frowning, and veins appeared on her forehead.

subconsciously switched from his unfluent Mandarin back to his native Cantonese.

There is another sentence in this scene, also in Cantonese:

Princess's fate maid body

Douban's

At this time, Tang Ning had gone from refusing to unscrupulously scorning her mother.

Mrs. Tang couldn't hold back her face, and for a moment, the viciousness that could not be concealed flowed out.

Looking at the expression of love is hell, you can get a glimpse of the character's heart.

Such "face changes" can be found everywhere in "Criminal Investigation Diary".

said that she did not meet her daughter Ye Langqing in the scene where she appeared.

can profile the changes in mentality just through one-way observation of characters.

At the beginning, she was full of expectations.

brought flowers to her daughter’s art exhibition. When she mentioned the word “mom”, she was filled with pride.

Douban's

When she saw her daughter for the first time after many years, her eyes were filled with tears.

There is joy, there is love, there is faint sadness, and there is even more yearning, and the excitement after falling overnight.

Douban's

After a while, Yang Bixin had calmed down.

watched her daughter being interviewed and mentioned how much she missed her, with a slight smile on her face, like an ordinary loving mother.

Douban's

transformation occurs in the next moment.

The daughter said she had passed away.

A normal person’s reaction would be surprise, sadness or even anger.

The fourth level reaction of mentally ill patients is emotional detachment under strong stimulation.

For example, subconsciously the eyes are blank and the body twitches like twisting the neck.

Douban's

The moment when the grief-stricken mother was about to turn her back. The last glance

cast at her daughter was like a poisonous snake.

A good actor not only knows how to seize the light in front of the camera, but also mobilizes all emotions to act even when the camera cannot see it.

Look at Yang Bixin's back, her steps are slow and her back is slightly hunched. The weight of the past makes her look old instantly.

But his firmness without any hesitation foretells that the revenge storm is about to happen.

Douban's

Did you notice that it’s the same acting, Yang Bixin is the opposite of Mrs. Tang.

Mrs. Tang wants to perform love in the midst of non-love;

and Yang Bixin wants to interpret the non-love that struggles with madness and extreme torture in love.

Compared with movies, the action design of emotional transformation is more obvious in TV series.

can be picked up again and put down gently.

Hongjie ’s ability to control complex characters is due to her familiar experience and skills.

comes from life, the best performance teacher.

She is used to spending a week living with the character's personality before joining the group.

The best performance is when you live in the role, not acting.

Douban's

Paradoxically, despite playing so many mother roles, Hui Yinghong has never been a mother.

Even at the age of 61, she has not yet been married.

Her identity as an actress is also fragmented.

In 2011's "Martial Arts", fate brought together Shaw Brothers two martial arts superstars of that year.

The man has a big brother Wang Yu, who single-handedly opened the peak of Zhang Che's "new era of martial arts".

The female star is Wai Ying-hong, the first and last female star in Hong Kong to win the Oscar for her fighting scenes.

Douban's

As fate would have it, Hui Yinghong entered the entertainment industry as a "beater".

However, in the past, the hero who guided future generations like an elder has now become a villain who sets off the positive role.

is vaguely reminiscent of Ti Lung in "The Sword of the Third Young Master".

When he carried a knife in the past, people called him Fu Hongxue.

Now that he has no knife, he is just an unknown woodcutter on Huangshan Mountain.

For most stars, time is like a knife, and the knife makes people grow old.

Since ancient times, beauties are like good generals, and they are not allowed to grow old in the world.

When she was both a beauty and a good general, what she encountered was doubly fatal.

Hui Yinghong once said that her life is equivalent to two other people's lives, and the dividing line is a suicide at the age of 40.

In her first life, she worked hard for her family's livelihood.

In her second life, she learned to live for herself.

In her first life, her performance relied on primitive instinct, learning and imitating from the director.

She didn't even have a choice about what kind of role she wanted to play.

Her first role in Shaw Brothers was a rare one with a name. She was the second female lead after Tian Niu in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes": Mu Nianci .

Douban's

’s reasons for choosing her to star are similar to Zheng Peipei .

Although neither of them has learned kung fu, because they have danced, their bodies are flexible and their postures are beautiful when fighting.

In her first performance, Hui Yinghong's performance was quite satisfactory. The more difficult martial arts scenes in the film (such as the martial arts competition to recruit a bride) were all completed by stand-ins.

But what she reminded the director of was her boldness.

faced the camera without shying away, showing no signs of being a newcomer.

is partly due to the beatings and training he suffered in the red light district for ten years starting from the age of three.

Part of it is because I have to grit my teeth and get through it.

From selling chewing gum, to lion dancing, to dancing in nightclubs, at the age of 17, she has already understood the four words "change your destiny against nature" in this university of society.

Douban's

is different from celebrities who enter the industry by accident. She has a clear plan that is beyond her peers.

, as the family's main source of income, gave up her monthly salary of 1,500 yuan as a dancer and chose an actor with a monthly salary of 500 yuan, but her mother was firmly opposed.

The reason why she asked her family to nod was: "My current income is 500 yuan, and if I do it next time, it may be 50,000 yuan."

At that time, for Hui Yinghong, the most important goal of acting was to make money, step by step. Look to the sky.

So after a few months of playing the leading role in Shaw Brothers, she immediately returned to the nightclub where she used to perform lion dance to "visit the class".

The reason was, "Let them see how majestic I am."

So a few days after "Elders" won the award, she was busy talking to her boss about adding more labor.

The change in salary from annual salary to ministry is enough to motivate her to continue fighting for her life.

Shaw Brothers’ actresses of the same period as her are Chung Chu-hong and Maggie Cheung .

Speaking of them, Hui Yinghong is not envious.

From the beginning, she was unwilling to do the hard work of beating a girl.

But in the era of big studios, the decision-making power falls in the hands of the boss, and the stars are just screws in the work.

Once you become famous, you will be stereotyped.

Hui Yinghong had never read any books, and she had so many mouths to feed behind her that she had no choice but to retreat.

Destiny had locked her up in advance.

Just like Mu Nianci, a girl who has been running around in the world to make a living since she was a child has to shoulder the same responsibility as men to make money to support her family.

The faint sadness in her heroic spirit is that she was forced to grow up too early and could not taste the innocence of children.

Douban's

Nature plays a trick on people. Hui Yinghong's identity as a "girl-beater" was shaped and constructed by men who represented authority.

Even the men who define her do not recognize her female value.

Before Hui Yinghong joined "Liu Jia Ban", Liu Jialiang once threatened that women are not suitable to be martial arts actors:

Even if an actress fights well, the audience will not accept it. They just think she is acting.

If a martial arts movie loses its sense of realism, what atmosphere will it still have?

What's more, when most actresses pick up swords and guns, their hands and feet are always awkward, but they still use men's weapons neatly.

After Hui Yinghong was "beaten", they called her "Zaihong" and did not treat her as a woman.

When she was filming on the set, the staff would speak foul language to her, and some actors even changed their pants in front of her.

made her often doubt whether she was really a girl.

Hui Yinghong at that time reminded Piao of a role she had played - Qiu Dangshi in "The Story of Qianlong 2".

The most touching scene in the "Joking about Qianlong" series belongs to Qiu Dangshi.

In the mill, she embraced Qianlong, played by Zheng Shaoqiu.

Her hair is as long as a waterfall, and her waist is as soft as willow silk.

She was pressed on the stone mill, and as the two of them kissed passionately, the beans rolled to the ground with thunderbolts.

Douban's

But this watery tenderness belonging to a woman only appeared in Qianlong's dreams.

Her name is "Wangshi", which is the general name for the coastal families in the southeastern region.

means that if you give birth to a girl, you can "support it as you please", which is synonymous with "recruitment".

Douban's

In Meizhou, where boys are valued over girls, Zongshi, who comes from a poor family, has been dressing up as a man since she was a child and practicing martial arts among boys.

Later, he worshiped Mazu, became a 乩子, and vowed not to marry for the rest of his life.

Female identity is also a source of confusion and even fear for Wang Shi.

Even when Qianlong pointed out that she was a woman, she immediately lost her composure.

shouted "I am a man" and ran to the pillar, shaking in fear.

Douban's

In the end, Wang Shi's choice was to bid farewell to Emperor Qianlong and serve Mazu for life.

Hui Yinghong’s choice was to take nude photos for the Chinese version of Playboy magazine after consulting Huang Zhan.

By showing her body, what she wants to tell the public is, "I am also a very feminine woman."

However, it backfired.

In the film and television industry, which values ​​literature over martial arts, Hui Yinghong is still defined as a beating girl whose "ability to fight" does not mean "ability to act".

When the attributive word "overlord" is added in front of a flower, she is no longer regarded as a delicate flower that needs to be treated with care.

Douban's

belongs to the world of beating girls. After being occupied by comedies and more hormonal male police and gangster films, Overlord Flower can only find a place to use it, so it can only slow down. Slowly withered.

The fate of little people is mostly to rise and fall with the big rivers and lakes.

Douban's

Most of Hui Yinghong’s contemporaries are in the film and television industry, and this person has not been found.

Why is Hui Yinghong? He can turn over from the bottom and reach another peak.

Or even usher in a more prosperous career than in the early years?

From "Little Red" to "Big Red" who was enshrined as a god, no one dislikes such an inspirational legend.

They like to call this the end of all hardships, and they like to regard her as a model of self-cultivation for actors.

Douban's

And in Piao's view, The reason why Sister Hong is Sister Hong now is precisely because she accepted her own legendary .

After dying once, she was still afraid of falling.

She will still have a strong sense of insecurity.

Always sit behind the driver in a car.

In " Blame You for Being Too Beautiful", she starred as the actress Ruan Lihua, who formed a wonderful reflection with her.

After retiring from acting for many years, Ruan Lihua was calm and confident at the beginning of his comeback.

She believes that with her fame, her return will definitely create a sensational topic.

Therefore, she once insisted on not acting unless she was a big girl.

Douban's

The reality of Keren’s tea was a slap in the face.

The cruelest scene happened at the dinner table.

Because she was bankrupt and anxious to pay off her debts, she had to negotiate endorsement deals with her big boss.

However, this fan burst the bubble in person: Even though you are my goddess, your commercial value is not worth the endorsement fee.

The way she held back tears and forced a smile was not Hui Yinghong’s own life? After

Douban's

came back, he learned to call people and ask for small roles.

Her scenes have been deleted, she has been looked down upon, and she was even scolded by her opponents because she acted too well, saying she was stealing the limelight...

But at the same time.

She accepted that she would grow old and no longer believed that "olding equals useless and equals breaking the law."

She also accepted that she would not be popular, and that she could not always be the focus of all the stars.

's rollercoaster-like ups and downs made her win the Academy Award for Best Actress in 2010 for "心魔", which became her happiest day.

In an interview with People last year, describing this experience, Hui Yinghong confessed her "ugly side".

"People": Can you describe the happiest day you have ever spent?

Hui Yinghong: It was in 2010 that I won the Best Actress at the 29th Academy Awards. I let out a breath, because the process was very painful. I thought to myself, let those who look down on you, look at me today, on my face. Wear that smile.

My sister said, "Look at your face, that smile is saying, well, you see, I can't do it?"

She told me, your smile is so evil, you forget that you need to be grateful, you forget Now, if others treat you that way, don’t imitate them, otherwise there will be no difference between you and them at that time. Your appearance has changed these days.

The picture came from my heart, and I knew immediately that I had to adjust.

Such Hui Yinghong is not the projection of the perfect mature woman in the popular impression -

When the wind blows, I remain unmoved.

Douban's

On the contrary, she has struggled a few times in the secular world, a vulgar woman.

will be afraid, sad, unwilling, and resentful.

No matter how many awards she has won, no matter how much work can give her important enough existence value and life security.

She still hopes to have a love.

She said that getting married and having children "makes me feel normal."

Having been in the world for more than 40 years, Hui Yinghong admits that she is "different from what she looks like" and has a similar side to Mrs. Tang.

Douban's

So she can understand Mrs. Tang’s evil.

In the middle of the performance of "Blood Guanyin", she encountered the death of her mother. After

returned to the group after handling the funeral, she faced the highlight of killing a woman.

She took the initiative to propose changes to the scene.

The reason is that Mrs. Tang has always been a mother, not an inhuman beast.

It is for self-interest that we must persist.

So Mrs. Tang finally recited the "Rebirth Mantra" from the "Heart Sutra", and two lines of tears fell from her eyes.

Douban's

When Hui Yinghong was a child, people would often come to her home to extort money and scold her parents until they cried.

She was only ten years old at that time.

was so angry that he asked his sister to buy poison and told them loudly.

They were afraid, left, and never came home again.

was hysterical and protected the home.

But her mother thought she was very "evil" and she never changed her mind until her death.

Half a century later, Hui Yinghong recalled it with a somewhat stiff smile on her face.

In Wan Chai , people die every day. Bad people are not born bad, but in order to live a better life, they may become vicious or stupid people.

The wild child who was always denied by his mother is no longer a nameless passerby who can be bullied.

But underneath her tiger-like appearance.

But there are still kittens that can only shrink and long for warmth.

You can stand at a high place and look around, with only the sound of the wind blowing around you and no one else around.

’s journey has made her the kite-like woman she is today.

Drifting, following the wind, proud and free.

The dream of kites is that they can fly and land.
