Song Zheng proposed to let Xu Fan play the role of Li Yuanni, but he had no other purpose, he simply felt that these domestic actresses were talking about age, image, and acting skills, except for Xu Fan, he really couldn't think of anyone who was more suitable for this role.

Although after the release of "Tang Mountain Earthquake" in the previous life, many viewers were very uncomfortable with Xu Fan's Tang Mountain accent, as well as the hoarse roar, as well as the bitter and stubborn character on his face, and even felt that Xu Fan was a big failure of the whole movie, but Song Zheng felt that under the protagonist's state of mind at that time, Xu Fan's performance was very good.

The role of Li Yuanni, in general, is a strong mother and a painful wife, because of a painful choice 32 years ago, she has been burdened with a full 32 years of psychological trauma, and her son and daughter are pressed under the cement slab.

Because her sister had no voice at that time, Li Yuanni could only choose to save her younger brother, and the pain like cutting meat was very imaginable.

In the end, the son was saved, the daughter was separated, and the daughter held a grudge against her mother and family for half her life, and she was never willing to go home.

The mother endured great suffering, but for the sake of her son, she must live strongly. Li Yuanni is a very ordinary mother, but this mother touched all the audience with her kindness and perseverance.

This is a mother who has experienced life and death, after the disaster, she took her son to support the broken home, raised the disabled son, and was willing to widow her dead husband to the end of her life, she fulfilled the responsibilities of a mother and a wife, she is ordinary, but she is also great.

"It's gone, I don't know what it means to be gone!"

This is the sentence that Xu Fan said the most in the movie, in her body, she is burdened with too much pathos, but she still has a touching personality.

The multiple-choice question of "save the son or save the daughter" has become a never-ending pain in her heart, and the scene of mother-daughter recognition with Zhang Jingchu has become a blockbuster tear bomb in the movie.

In just a dozen seconds, the earthquake caused 32 years of estrangement, and after 32 years of youth, the family was immersed in aftershocks for a long time.

Li Yuanni is also unable to extricate herself from guilt and self-blame, which seems to be a big joke from God, playing with the world in applause, blurring the flesh and blood of people's hearts, and then trying to soothe, but people can choose not to accept this comfort, Li Yuanni interprets such an epiphany of the human heart.

The most worrying thing in the movie is when Li Yuanni chooses which child to save, "I beg you, save them!"

"Save them all!"

These words are mixed with more heart-rending pain, and then her sentence of "save my brother" is a kind of entanglement, and the words are very unconfident, the key is very heartache.

Among them, close-ups and push shots are frequently used, allowing the audience to see and experience the despair in the pain of Li Yuanni, as a mother, and the incomprehension of her daughter Fang Deng. Since then, the distance between the mother and son has been widened, resulting in this misunderstanding, this apology, and 32 years of bitter entanglement.

In contrast to the harmony and tranquility of the family before this, blowing the fan, eating tomatoes, and drawing a watch for my father all became memories in an instant, and the good things seemed to disappear too quickly.

Some people may think that it seems unreasonable to explain the life of the whole Tang Mountain based on the life of this family, and it is a bit of a partial generalization. But this is more suitable for the aesthetic habits of the Chinese, and the Chinese pay more attention to the family.

Feng Xiaogang also wants to express a Chinese-style tragedy, and what is needed here is not only to tell the disaster brought by the earthquake to the people of Tangshan, but also to use family relationships as a breakthrough to interpret family affection. Among them, most of the touches created here come from Li Yuanni played by Xu Fan, who, as a wife and mother, can't let go of everything caused by the earthquake.

Her crying scenes account for the majority, and what touches the audience is not her tears, but her kind of pain, indescribable pain, but it is vividly displayed in front of people.

As a Chinese mother, she felt guilty for her dead husband and departed daughter, and she transferred more of her love to her son. When her son was about to be taken away by her mother-in-law, she almost powerlessly echoed her son's call, but when she watched the car slowly walk away, her face showed helplessness and paleness, which made people see a deep mother-son love that was difficult to give up.

Then turned to a long shot, Li Yuanni's body is so blurry in the dust, so thin, it seems that she can't change all this, she is just an ordinary mother, she can only accept all this imposed on her by the surrounding environment, but she has the perseverance to stick to her beliefs, this persistence is thirty-two years.

In the end, the mother-in-law returned her son, and when she heard Fonda call her mother, she almost collapsed and shouted Da, and ran to her son, her thin body looking thinner in her fat clothes. She hugged her son, and the two of them seemed very small between heaven and earth, but the affection between mother and son touched the heavens and the earth.

Li Yuanni has lived in pain all her life, with the pain of separation from her husband and the pain of misunderstanding with her daughter. She can use perseverance to make up for her husband, but she doesn't know how to eliminate the estrangement between her and her daughter.

When her son Fangda wanted to take her to Hangzhou, she instinctively refused, "Your father and your sister are here, I won't go anywhere", "We can't have no home in Tangshan, and your father and your sister's soul can't go anywhere when they come back."

When Fangda asked her to find a partner again, she didn't agree, she felt that no man could be good to her with his life, "I have been his daughter-in-law all my life, and I don't lose at all", this is a deep love for her husband, the earthquake can't destroy this love, the pain caused by the separation of yin and yang, but Li Yuanni can't get rid of it for the rest of her life, compared to not being able to see her husband, her daughter's news and misunderstanding are even more unrelieved.

So Li Yuanni tried to do something to balance all this, washing the tomatoes every day and putting them in front of her daughter's photo, and buying two textbooks every year.

She has been so tired for more than 30 years that she can't say anything, so she can only wait for her husband and daughter in the old house. She is old, and these estrangements have tormented her for most of her life.

In this scene in the cemetery, the daughter was finally able to understand, but Li Yuanni, as a mother, took the pain of the past 32 years with just a few words. "I'm doing well, and if I'm doing well, I'll be even more sorry for you."

This seemingly insipid word has taken thirty-two years of youth, which has to make people think, is it worth it?

Most people don't seem to understand it yet, but her daughter understands and her daughter is relieved, which proves that Li Yuanni's persistence is worth it in her opinion.

In Song Zheng's view, the image of the Chinese mother played by Xu Fan is extremely successful, and her dedication to the performance seems to overshadow the light of other actors, and also makes the role of Li Yuanni deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

She is interpreting a tangled family relationship, unable to give up, but unable to take it, and interpreting the true feelings in the details all the time.

The basic framework of the movie has been set up, and the main actors have been selected, the heroine Li Yuanni is naturally Xu Fan, and a son and a daughter are still the same as the original version in the previous life, played by Li Chen and Zhang Jingchu respectively.

In the movie "Tang Mountain Earthquake", if there is any role that is impressive except for Li Yuanni played by Xu Fan, it is obviously the daughter who likes to hold grudges - Fang Deng.

For thirty-two years, she has been living in resentment, because in the post-earthquake rescue, her mother chose to save her brother and "sacrificed" her.

For thirty-two years, she has always hated her mother for choosing to let her younger brother Fangda survive at the life-and-death moment of the rescue, in fact, in that critical situation at that time, God did not give her mother the right to choose.

Both children are crushed under the cement prefabricated slab, both are in danger of life, one must be saved, who to choose and who not to choose, for a mother, what is the difference?

The reason why Li Yuanni finally let her brother be saved is completely from the ancient Chinese idea of inheritance, when a man dies, he died to save her, and his son Fang Da is the root of the Wang family, for an ordinary Chinese woman in the seventies of the last century, does she have a choice?

If she had chosen Fang Deng instead of Fang Da, it would have been a very unnatural and strange thing in the value judgment of the Chinese, which was so at the time and almost still is.

Not to mention that the Tangshan earthquake occurred more than 30 years ago, that is, more than 30 years later, in 2008, if a similar situation happens again, and another mother has to make a choice, I believe that most Chinese women, mothers, they will still make the same choice.

It's just that her mother's choice back then made Fang Deng unable to let go, and it also made her resentful for thirty-two years.

Fang Deng miraculously survived, and since then the resentment towards her mother has also arisen, and she has come to her new home in the army compound, but Tang Shan's nightmares and family affection still reverberate in her dreams.

There is only one place in the film that makes the audience feel Fang Deng's perception of life as a survivor of the earthquake, and when her boyfriend persuaded her to beat the child in her belly, her answer was: "Others can, I can't, I'm from Tangshan." ”

Yes, only when we see a fresh life disappearing in an instant, can we truly appreciate the preciousness and fragility of life and cherish every living being.

Fang Deng longs for her blood connection, she longs to be a mother more than anyone else, because after becoming a mother, it is possible for her to try to peek into the inner truth of her own mother more than 20 years ago.

Fang Deng did not directly touch on his mother's forgiveness, but took the first step of communication through his attention and understanding of his adoptive mother and adoptive father.

In the original version of "Tangshan Earthquake", it was Zhang Jingchu's luck and misfortune to meet old drama bones like Chen Zhiming and Chen Jin. The unfortunate thing is that she can't relax herself, otherwise in front of these two actors who are immobile and full of romantic skills, Zhang Jingchu will be easily defeated.

But Zhang Jingchu was not defeated, she had a good grasp of Fang Deng's inner development of the layer, in the movie there is a scene of Fang Deng's eyes returning to Tang Shan's hometown, eager but helpless, Zhang Jingchu restored Fang Deng's childhood actor under the slate that unforgettable and heartbreaking moment, the performance is relaxed, not shocking, but delicate and nuanced.

After she and her boyfriend had an affair in the dormitory, she calmly opened the door to her adoptive father, and she also showed the excitement that could not be concealed when her pleasure was interrupted by Karan. In front of her adoptive mother, she was moved by her adoptive mother's true love, and naturally revealed Fang Deng's nature as a daughter, which moved the audience.

A daughter will always be her father's lover, let alone an adoptive father who is not related by blood.

Fang Deng's scene with his adoptive father is one of the key points in the second half of the film, Fang Deng looks at his mother's loneliness and pain from the loneliness of his adoptive father, but she still can't forgive, she doesn't return to her hometown, she doesn't see her mother, and she goes away.

After the Wenshan earthquake, she was in the same ruins in different eras, and she finally set foot on the road back to her hometown after seeing a mother's painful choice.

On the ruins of Wenshan, Zhang Jingchu's performance was also very exciting, compared with the exaggerated entanglement of the actor who played his mother, Zhang Jingchu was calm and almost a rest, this treatment was very in line with Fang Deng's state at the time, because 32 years ago, she crawled out of the pile of dead.

Zhang Jingchu continued this emotion to the reunion with her mother in Tang Mountain, and her kneeling was also a matter of course, and it was precisely because of Zhang Jingchu's performance that the final high tide was pushed to a magnificent wave, and the audience could burst into tears.

Thirty-two years made her realize that "my brother is alive" is a very beautiful thing, and the moment she saw her brother, she suddenly understood.

When she saw her gray-haired mother, she remembered the cruel question of "how many 30 years a woman can have in her lifetime".

The whole performance has no flaws, although in this movie, Zhang Jingchu is not the first heroine, but in Song Zheng's opinion, it is Zhang Jingchu's most wonderful performance.

It can be said that in the encirclement and suppression of a group of outstanding performing artists such as Chen Zhiming, Chen Jin, and Xu Fan, Zhang Jingchu finally managed to successfully break through and become a real big actor.

There are some other roles in the movie, Fang Da's daughter-in-law Xiaohe does not have many roles, Song Zheng booked Tang Yan for Feng Xiaogang, Tang Yan is still focusing on the small screen after "Wolf Warrior", this time let her join this big production, it is also for her to accumulate experience, in addition, Fang Deng's adoptive parents are still Chen Zhiming and Chen Jin, the performances of these two in the original version also impressed Song Zheng, as for the other roles in it, Song Zheng doesn't care.

"The matter of the script, you think about it yourself, I won't follow it!"

's adapted script, if Feng Xiaogang comes to handle it, it will naturally be no problem, not to mention that there is a No. 1 bull like Liu Zhenyun by his side, and he doesn't need Song Zheng to work hard.

Feng Xiaogang now had a rough image in his heart, and nodded very casually when he heard this: "Okay! However, when the time comes, you have to give me a show." ”

Song Zheng has no opinion on this, this movie must be jointly invested and filmed by two companies, and he plays in it, which can also attract the attention of this drama.

"No problem, you'll be on call when the time comes!"

Song Zheng got up as he spoke, Xu Fan saw it, and hurriedly said: "Zhengzi! Didn't you say that you were resting here today? My guest rooms are all cleaned up!"

Song Zheng picked up his coat and said, "Forget it, it's been out all day, let's go home and rest!"

Xu Fan persuaded: "You see that you drank so much wine, I went out just now, and it started to snow outside again, I don't feel at ease when you drive home, otherwise you call Xinru and ask someone else to come and pick you up!"

Song Zheng waved his hand and said, "No, I'll go out for a walk and just stop a taxi outside." ”

Song Zheng said, the person had already arrived at the door, turned around and said to Feng Xiaogang: "Brother Xiaogang, you are too late, rest early, what's the matter, let's talk about it after the New Year!"

After Song Zheng finished speaking, he went out of the door, Xu Fan sent it to the door, Feng Xiaogang was thinking about the script, and he didn't mean to move at all.

"Sister-in-law, go back too, it's cold outside!"

There is already some snow on the road at this time, and it is cold this year, and it has snowed several times in the wax moon.

Xu Fan tightened his clothes and said with a smile: "It's okay, I'll send you off, I don't worry if I don't watch you get in the car!"

Song Zheng smiled and didn't say anything, the two of them went out of the courtyard gate, Feng Xiaogang's house was very close to the road, out of the alley, the two of them stood on the side of the road, it was snowing outside, but there were a lot of vehicles coming and going.

"Zhengzi! Your brother ~~~~~~~ like that today."

Song Zheng smiled, and before Xu Fan finished speaking, he interrupted her: "Sister-in-law, am I such a careful person?"

Xu Fan was stunned when he heard this, and then laughed: "Alas~~~ I just ~~~~~ I have too much heart, your brother has a lot of friends, but there are fewer and fewer people who know his heart, and the brothers of the Wang family used to be heart-to-heart to him, but as a result, it turned out like this, I am really afraid that you and him will be separated!"

Song Zheng sighed and said: "No, what kind of person he is, I know, but, sister-in-law, sometimes, you have to persuade him, this time, he didn't even think to discuss it with Mr. Guoli, although people don't care, but if he repeatedly makes decisions without authorization, no matter how good the relationship is, people will treat the company as a business!"

There are some things that Song Zheng didn't say, this time Feng Xiaogang took his own initiative to adjust the schedule of "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb", Zhang Guoli had already complained to him in private.

Xu Fan naturally knew what Song Zheng meant: "Zhengzi, sister-in-law, thank you, don't worry, I look at him, and I will never let him come again!"

Song Zheng smiled: "It's not that serious, but, sister-in-law, if you really want to talk about running the company, Brother Xiaogang and I are actually not that material, on the company's side, I think it's better for you to come forward!"

Xu Fan was stunned for a moment and said, "I, I can't ~~~~~~ it!"

A car stopped in front of Song Zheng, Song Zheng stepped forward to open the car door, turned to Xu Fan and said, "If you don't succeed, you will be better than him!" Okay, sister-in-law, I'm leaving." ”

After Song Zheng finished speaking, he got into the car, leaned back, and suddenly a wave of fatigue hit: "Master!
