Chapter 347: Distant Dignity
And below this article, there is a small-print comment by an editor of the entertainment edition titled "Distant Dignity":
"Cheng Dongqing, who looks at Xiaofan, is not the hearty feeling of an American movie hero, but the kind of inferiority complex in his eyes that directly hits your heart and transforms into pride. [No pop-up novel network] し
Only us Chinese in the world have been educated since childhood, even if they starve to death, they do not require people, and they must have backbone to be people.
What is backbone? It is to stand and be yourself, to look up to your own dignity.
For the sake of this dignity, we can be "Jiading Three Massacres" and "Yangzhou Ten Days" in order to preserve the symbol of our national hairstyle.
For the sake of this dignity, we can endure for eight years when others ride on our necks, hang plaster flags, have their teeth knocked out and swallow in their stomachs, just to wait for the day when we can drive them out of our land.
For the sake of this dignity, when he was the poorest and weakest, he tightened his belt and went to the battlefield to fight with the strongest army on the earth, leaving countless bloody souls and guarding the peace of the border for decades......
We have been poor, weak, humble... But this dignity in my heart has never gone far......
But in the past few years, no one agrees with this kind of thing anymore, and I don't know when dignity has become worthless, and people in our country have begun to become low-voiced, look up to others, and begin to feel that they are nothing.
We are ashamed to be Chinese, just like Meng Xiaojun in the film, our own people look down on our own people, and everyone in their hearts does not want to prove that we can do it, but wants to use the way of getting a green card to become an American, telling the people around us, 'You Chinese can't.'" ’
Where is the backbone that you once had?
It's like Cheng Dongqing said, 'I want to use my way to help him win dignity' Gu Xiaofan used a character like him to help me win back my dignity in my heart.
What is dignity, that is, low self-esteem is like Cheng Dongqing, but he can stand in front of the Americans and say with confidence that Chinese students do not come to the United States today to stay, they are willing to return to China......
At this moment, I felt my dignity, I actually felt very proud, it obviously had nothing to do with me, but I still got this dignity, and at that moment I knew that my bones were engraved with the indelible things of this nation...... That backbone...... That distant dignity. ”
On Douban, the movie climbed directly from the initial score of 6.7 to 8.1, and the famous film critic "Floating Like a Dream" on Douban published a separate comment on Gu Xiaofan:
"When I watched "Chinese Partner", the biggest feeling is that Gu Xiaofan is really a good carving knife, the actor is like a stone, the director is like a carving knife, whether the engraving is good or not, it depends on how he grasps the material, Gu Xiaofan almost missed this time.
Deng Cao can't afford to be an emperor of the ages in "Young Kangxi", but playing a flamboyant and domineering returnee in "Partner" is indeed so vivid and vivid, and the loneliness transition from youth to middle age is unforgettable.
Huang Lei only had a single performance in "April Day in the World" because the role was too floating in the sky, but in "Partner", he presented his best performance.
Huang Lei's biggest feature is that he stares at you with wide eyes, the expression on his face is not moving, but the emotions in his eyes are surging, the sorrows and joys go directly to your heart, innocent like a child, but in the blink of an eye in his extreme innocence, the kind of smile and grinning appearance came out again, this kind of kindness and sorrow and joy are received, but you can clearly feel the rippling emotions in his heart, and he is involved, and the taste is complicated and indescribable.
Only complex, so rich, Huang Lei's complexity and richness have always been underestimated, and he is used to playing a literary and artistic youth with temperament, but he is rarely regarded as this kind of complex role, Wang Yang in "Partner" is one of the most wonderful characters in the whole movie.
Of course, it's only one of them, because in the same movie, the real surprise is Gu Xiaofan's Cheng Dongqing, this character is the most difficult to play because it is too small.
Cheng Dongqing is cowardly, has low self-esteem, and is a little silly, these are definitely not cute, in the first half, he is the most boring character in the whole movie, Meng Xiaojun and Wang Yang's brilliance completely overwhelms him invisible, if you don't pay attention, you won't know that he is the first actor in this movie at all.
I was thinking, how did Gu Xiaofan spoil himself like this in the movie he directed and wrote? Then the movie was put halfway, and when Cheng Dongqing entered middle age, I understood the reason, everyone in this movie is a supporting role, and only Cheng Dongqing is the real soul.
20-year-old Gu Xiaofan completely used his body and eyes to perform a stage of growth for a man from 20 to 40 years old, his movements were natural and slow, his eyes were full of scrutinizing gaze, and the previous inferiority, sadness, and cowardice have become a kind of self-humility of a strong man looking back.
I was amazed to find that a man's inferiority complex turned into pride, his pride is completely different from Deng Cao's flamboyant light, Deng Cao is bright and dazzling, he is deep but sharp, one by one, very matched.
Looking at the quarrels between the two of them several times, it is really terrifying, and the collision of two completely different angers is simply depressing.
Gu Xiaofan's complete outburst in the last few scenes directly overwhelmed the performances of Deng Cao and Huang Lei, which I didn't expect at all before......
After watching "Chinese Partner", if Gu Xiaofan was a qualified TV-level actor before, then now I can definitely say that Gu Xiaofan is already a movie-level actor, in addition to his appearance, he is not inferior to Liang Chaowei and Zhou Yanfa of the same age, and even surpasses Jiang Wen and Ge You of the same age......
Wait, I seem to have mistaken his age and unconsciously thought of him as a 30-year-old actor...... But you can't blame me, looking at his performance and image, who would have known that he was only 20 years old this year? ”
Like this, Gu Xiaofan's performance this time was completely amazed, and there were dozens of film reviews, and almost everyone expressed the same meaning, "Gu Xiaofan is an actor beyond his own age, and he can't tell that he is playing a 30-year-old role at all." ”
Even on the website, many people are already discussing Gu Xiaofan's age, on Tianya.com, a famous "Gu Xiaofan's middle school classmate" posted and declared: "Gu Xiaofan lied about his age in order to take the test Yanying, I studied in the same elementary school as him, and he is actually 28 years old this year!?" ”
In this week's various praises and laughable messages, the "Chinese Partner" craze is also gradually fermenting, and the box office of the third week is hot again, and the results once again stunned everyone.
The number directly doubled from last week, 31.57 million ...... The total box office broke through the 50 million mark like a volcanic eruption~!
