Special feature of 1905 film network As the saying goes, "a thief cries to catch a thief" is often also a "liar", especially for the film quality — — The film "Lie Detector" was released for 3 days, and Douban scored 2.7 points, which set a new low for the starring career score.
And this, from the last time Mary was dominated by bad movies, only three months have passed. In the fierce competition and frequent masterpieces this year, there is a movie whose reputation and rating seem so out of place. Yes, that’s her starring, and Douban scored 3.8.
Let’s go back to the lie detector. The trio of Mary,, and makes people think of another film a few years ago. Although other actors are different, they have the same low score.
At this moment, in this situation, a question quietly welled up in my mind: Mary, what’s wrong with you?
Sit tight in a comedy movie, doesn’t it smell good?
Since 2004, Mary has performed thousands of plays, and made her debut on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala with her sketch "Today’s Happiness 2". Since then, she has become a frequent visitor to the Spring Festival Gala, and has firmly held the position of Hua Dan, the master of Mahua FunAge, and the queen of stage plays.
In 2015, Mary’s Shen Ma teamed up with Douban, a high-scoring comedy film, and won the National Day title with a price of 1.448 billion yuan, which achieved a win-win situation at the box office. Mary herself was highly praised for her role as Ma Dongmei and won the title of "national daughter-in-law". She integrates humor and sincerity into the role, and leads the audience to find true love in laughter and tears with humorous performances that break through the image.
Two years later, while the iron was hot, Shen Ma once again took the title of the National Day file with a box office of 2.213 billion yuan, which also made Shen Ma take the position of a brother and a sister in domestic comedy.
A year later, Mary’s opera road has undergone a "subversive" change. In the remake of the film, she successfully played a strong woman who appeared to be vigorous and vigorous, but in fact she encountered Han Xiao, a victim of sexual assault in the workplace, and completed the film’s reflection on relevant social issues. As a result, Mary, whose expression became more and more serious on the big screen, kicked off the transition from "a comedy sister" to "a strong injured woman".
As Mary said in an interview with the film channel, "Comedy lets the audience know that there is an actress named Mary, and they think you are a comedian. It seems that all your next works must be related to comedy, but I am an actor, and you should create different types of roles as an actor."
Mary’s road to transformation started here, but it seems that the screenwriter is convinced of Mary’s role as a "strong woman", which makes this image of strong appearance and inner pain continue to this day — — Sunshine in "Sunshine Robber" has a childhood shadow of being ashamed of his mother, while Ma Xiaofan in "Lie Detector" has a heart that has been hurt by love. After a long illness, he became a doctor, and both of them were strong because of their injuries, and they suddenly became strongmen. However, this series of images are too repetitive with Han Xiao in "The Ring of Calls", so the market recognition has been declining all the way.
On the contrary, in the field of comedy that Mary is familiar with, her unique performance style of "Northeast Mary" and more professional team production have produced a series of comedy actresses who are loved by everyone but have their own characteristics. The most recent example is the chapter of Liang Ma, which was released in the National Day in 2020. On the vast black land, Shen Ma performed a scene of "Variations on Country Love" belonging to Mahua FunAge, and it also became a comedy in the five chapters of the film.
Coincidentally, Mary’s new comedy, which has not yet been released, also won the best film in Golden Goblet Awards at the 24th Shanghai International Film Festival this year, which is undoubtedly an excellent way for her to transform from a word-of-mouth actress to an art award winner.
So the question is, should Mary transform?
Play a role well all your life. Is there a problem?
It is true that while jumping out of the "comfort zone", Mary has also completed the new image challenge and broken through himself, but it has also exposed a reality — — Not suitable for all roles. From the current point of view, the most suitable is the comedy heroine with a "Northeast Mary" style. Fortunately, this position has not been shaken so far.
Since at this stage, Mary’s transformation is not the best choice, then, do actors really need to transform?
The most obvious example is Mary’s old partner, Shen Teng, who has honed the years from "military school grass" to "the first brother of China comedy movies" with a wrinkled face. He made his debut in the Spring Festival Evening at the age of 33, won the first season championship of "Happy Comedy" in one fell swoop three years later, and became famous all over the country with "goodbye mr. loser". Since then, he has starred in four phenomena of "Shameful Iron Fist" in succession. And successfully cooperated with Mary in last year’s My People My Homeland, and performed Shen Guanglin in this year’s Spring Festival file perfectly. Not only did he sit firmly on the throne of comedy, but he also partnered with who was popular, so the key point came — — Did he change his career? Has he changed? No, but he has become a contemporary "king of comedy".
After the actor, let’s talk about an actress who has a stable performance — — On the road of temperament, I am unique. As soon as she made her debut, she won the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Best Supporting Actress awards with Beautiful Feet, and she was once addicted to the stage of drama performance. Since 2014, she has been waiting for the screen works to leave a glimpse. In the star-studded performance of the National Day in 2019, she stood out as the captain of the crew who was calm and resolute, and won two female matches, Baihua and Jinji, in succession last year.
Of course, being a successful actor is not a "stable" success. For example, actresses who were born in comedies in their early years have already successfully transformed into realistic actresses with their works. Only when a handsome actor ignores the image can he successfully transform into an actor in art cinema. In the early years, it was a jade-faced young man in the mainland, and in the middle of 2015, he was reborn with his unkempt father role, and finally kept the cloud open in the TV series "Chasing the Murder in a White Night", "Angry Xiangxi" and "Longling Mystery Cave".
If Pan Yueming was at a low point in his life and career, it needs to be transformed urgently; Hugh has accumulated a lot of money, and everything is only due to the east wind; Yao Chen and other actresses have a long-term vision and make the right changes and decisions at the right time.
For an actor, it is very rare to be able to play a role well all his life (such as a special actor who plays a great man, an actor with tough guy style, or "Oriental Chaplin" atsumi kiyoshi who plays Torajiro all his life and creates the most "longevity" comedy series in film history). If it is really necessary to change the stage, it is not too late to change it. It is not necessary to change it for the sake of change. If everything is not available, not only will the "East Wind" not be obtained, but it will also be.
