If you want to talk about midnight sunshine, you can't help but mention the ace TV series karma, which was popular in Shanghai that year. The theme is unique and the angle is appropriate, such as a dagger inserted into the viewer's heart, gentle and accurate, which has earned enough tears of educated youth in their forties who went to the countryside to return to the city, evoking endless loss and lingering memories of the heavy past. The social effect of karma has been enormous. Will Shanghainese "reduce karma?" Used as a joke. I have to admire the director's original opinion. As a work that combines regionalism and popularity, the classic status of karma has not been shaken by drama so far.
/kloc-karma was published 0/0 years ago, and midnight sunshine was produced in Hairun 0/0 years later. There are also traces of the story of Yunnan jumping the queue, and there are also plots that cause conflicts in family ethics, emotions and concepts. Even the character's experience track and development time change are just right. It is quite difficult to watch these two films together (especially in Shanghai), so it is absolutely impossible to rule out that the director of Midnight Sunshine is intentional. However, "Midnight Sunshine" has not completely embarked on the road of "karma". 10 years later, great changes have taken place in the social environment and the psychological state of the audience, so finding a short circuit is definitely a shortcut. I am glad that Afternoon only wears a hat of "karma". Fortunately, I looked down and found that I was wearing a Korean drama skirt.
I'm afraid the story of sibling love is not a patent of Korean dramas. As early as more than 20 years ago, with the famous song "Wow, wow. . . . . "Yamaguchi Momoe and Tomokazu Miura have played their sister-in-law love to the extreme. Brother and sister can't fall in love, how to solve it? Just waiting to die. In Blood Suspicion, Naoko's death is artistic, which makes people lament. The Yamato people are really a creative people, and their minds are full of strange things. What about Koreans? Koreans are a nation with considerable reference spirit, constantly "bringing" the spirit, packaging their gorgeous "maternity clothes" and making a beautiful appearance. So everyone's eyes are unique "Winter Love Song" and "Blue Life and Death Love". Koreans are not as smart as Japanese, but they are really diligent. Exquisite to the extreme, bit by bit. You don't have to catch a cold about the story of moving, but I'm afraid I can't help but lose my mind during that endless chatter. Coupled with the vivid performances of the actors, it is almost like grinding the tears of the audience, even a drop or two will do.
Therefore, it doesn't matter what old-fashioned plot or the relationship between dog blood. As long as you know and make good use of it, old wine in new bottles can also taste different. The director of Wu drama should have a deep understanding.
Let's talk about the midnight sunshine I saw:
First, the central plot of "Noon" drama-summer love
The story of Midnight Sunshine can actually be divided into two parts. The first half can be summed up in one word-"equal", Xia Qingyou and so on.
A young girl, from 17 to 27 years old, has never had a boyfriend. She wears that men's watch on her wrist all the year round, which is a great contrast with her bright and beautiful clothes. She sacrificed so much, for what? Just to wait, waiting for the person who promised her. Everyone around her thinks she is being mean to herself, but she is the only one who persists. "I have been having a dream. People in dreams can't see clearly. It's just that I bit him, and he didn't shout pain. Instead, he smiled at me. That smile can melt me. " She finally waited for the man with a smile. However, during the period of 10, Yu Yuhe was engaged in Canada. Xia Qing knows, but still waits. She even gave up the relationship she had been waiting for 10 years to promote the marriage between Yu You and Wen Yi. In fact, giving up like this or waiting means giving her a choice at last.
In fact, this delicate girl with a strong heart has always been obsessed with her own feelings, and people can't find any reason to doubt whether she is too naive or too simple. Her mood is very infectious. She waved her hand freely, and her confident and quick words were full of courage and determination. For this relationship, she should not only believe in herself, but also believe in the people around her. Finally, faithful wife, her persistence finally paid off.
Xia Qing's waiting is actually quite a fairy tale. 10 year? Many people are afraid to shake their heads and sigh when they see this number. How many feelings can stand the separation of 10 years, and there is no news? What's more, I don't know the promise I made when things were not mature. Maybe I won't forget it, but I always regard it as a green shadow, hovering in front of my eyes and behind my ears. I may be entangled for a lifetime, but when I think of it, I just have a helpless and sad smile at the corner of my eye. "When I was a child!" That's all. Because it is too difficult to do, we think it is impossible. We shook our heads gently, not complaining about how stupid the original promise was, but lamenting that there are too many things in this world that we can't keep and insist on, especially the original real relationship. The more we try to forget it, the more it stays in our hearts.
At the beginning of the play, the director wrote a word "love" generously, and regarded "sacrifice" as a happy word hanging on the lintel in the festival. What do you mean by "waiting" is actually "unchanged". Who doesn't yearn for this feeling? Who doesn't want it? Don't tell me that you have lived in the world of mortals for too long, and your heart has lost contact.
Now that you have written it, you should come here in advance to evaluate the performance of the actors. Luo Shanshan's performance is quite in place. Aside from appearance, it is said that Xia Qingyou, who she plays, has a good grasp of the performance, which better shows Qingyou's decisiveness, determination and persistence, and her acting skills are convincing in effect. But then again, Xia Qingyou's role in this drama is over, and his personality has almost no span. She persisted from the beginning of the play to the end. This is not to say that Luo Shanshan is not good at acting, but this is the position of this role. In some highlights in the second half of the play, there are also scenes where Luo Shanshan can play a little. Unfortunately, the second half was too heavy for the young crane, and everyone's attention was focused on the young crane. Even if Luo Shanshan plays beyond the level, I'm afraid he won't attract more attention. Personally, I think Luo Shanshan's psychological drama is still lacking in kung fu.
The second half of Midnight Sunshine can also be summed up in one word-"Hiding" and Yu Youhe's hiding.
The second half of the play is simply Yu Youhe's private stage. The focus of contradiction and the fuse of truth all start from him. If we say that in the first half, his image is still a little thin, and he doesn't feel worthy after a quiet 10 year, the second half definitely makes up for the previous thin image. You can choose any reason that makes sense to that feeling.
First of all, he learned that he and Xia Qingyou are actually half-brothers. However, what is even more vomiting blood is that they were together before. Faced with this fact, the trauma in his heart is deep enough. But what he thinks of is definitely a word "cheat". In order to achieve this goal, he also cheated. Deliberately create an illusion to make Qingyou think that he has changed his mind about her. Full of lies, only this sentence "in fact, I really love you!" " ",revealing endless sadness. This is also love, you can't love.
The word "cheat" is followed by "hide". Especially when Xia Qingyou asked for identification, he just found out that he was terminally ill at this critical time. See leukemia again! He hid it simply and went straight to Vancouver. In order not to let his sister worry about him, he didn't tell Xia Qingyou that he was terminally ill and needed a bone marrow transplant. His mother hurried to Shanghai to find her daughter to solve the problem of bone marrow matching; It was he who, despite the doctor's advice, resolutely stopped the treatment and flew back from Vancouver like a bus, ostensibly to tell his mother that he had learned that Xia Qingyou was not his own sister, but actually he still didn't want his loved ones to know about his illness. I'm afraid this kind of love and care is a rare affection in the world.
He knew that he was going to die soon, and he went out to play with Qingyou, perhaps to leave a good memory for the person he loved, even if it was the last power of love. When we broke up, we also said a heart-wrenching sentence: "After I leave, you should take good care of yourself, don't get sick, don't always drink, and don't always eat instant noodles alone. It's not good for your health, do you hear?" "And your temper to change, too stubborn. If you have a good candidate, don't miss it. Put yourself on the shelf, don't put it in the warehouse to get moldy. I will wait for your good news in Vancouver. " . This is a last word, I don't like it, because it is too light; This is a confession of breaking up. Only Xia Qing would think so, because she doesn't know and the viewer knows. The more so, the more heartbreaking. This kind of affection is not rare in the world, even unparalleled in the world.
Love a person, what is true love? Have, get or pray for something in return? Maybe these are all, maybe none of them. Yu Youhe, who appeared in front of us, was first a good lover who was serious and responsible for love, and then the dramatic change of the role's fate promoted the multi-angle development of the role from all angles and aspects.
In the face of misunderstandings again and again, he hides the truth again and again with only one purpose, not to hurt the girl he loves. He tried his best to defend and protect her. With his only remaining love light, no matter whether she misunderstood or misinterpreted, as long as the truth didn't hurt her, as long as the harm could be minimized, it was quite worthwhile for him to endure many grievances and pains. He is too kind to her, but too hard on himself.
The most shameful thing is that his eyes are red and round, but his tears never drop. Buried in his lover's chest, crying is a great hope for him, but he has very close expectations. His last farewell to her was like Where are you going? When he left, I didn't know where he would be, but his feelings were still dripping with blood and tears. When he turned to leave, he condensed into a rigid figure.
Fortunately, Xia Qingyou finally knew the truth. They were not brother and sister, and their beloved was terminally ill. If it is because of Yu He's death, she will understand the cause and effect, and understand that the person in her heart has paid so much and so much for her, and she still has grievances and regrets until her death. If so, Xia Qing's worries will even make her jump off a building, because such love is too heavy and profound for her. Heavy enough to suppress her life, deep enough to forget.
Yu Youhe told us that "forbearance" can be so beautiful!
In the second half of the play, the director wrote us a bigger word "love"! And hang "sacrifice" in the sky, let us look up straight. Tears can't be filled, my heart has become Wang Yang!
When watching Wallace Chung's plays, we should definitely abandon the appearance to see the essence, his handsome face to see his acting eyes. Psychological struggle is the highlight of Yu Youhe. Deadpan refusal, or exaggerated extreme pain, can't be found in Yu He's face. Wallace Chung's performance is mediocre, giving people a sense of stability. I personally appreciate his performance in the second half. You can clearly read from his eyes the confusion after the struggle, the decision after the pain, the grievances when forbearing, and the helplessness when desperate. In the play, Yu Youhe cried several times, but only left and right twice. But look at his feelings, he has no facial muscle twitching, and there is no painful situation of cracked teeth and mouth. He only passed through the eyes under his ass in that slight frown, so deeply painful, so helpless, oh, tangled, and his heart began to hurt. You can definitely clearly feel your friends and the emotional and psychological activities you want to convey to you. Personally, I think that although Wallace Chung accurately expressed the role of Youhe, the importance of psychological drama gave him a lot of room to play. However, the performance of several scenes is still open to question. For example, when his mother told him that he and Qingyou were actually brother and sister, Yu Youhe should be quite excited, because such news was a bolt from the blue for Qingyou. Why did he just sit on the sofa and squint at his mother? Although he shed so many tears, why did he still sit so steady? If I were you, I would have jumped up and ran around the room.
Second, two key figures-literature and art and Xia Shanshan.
These two characters can't help but mention that they played an indispensable role in summer romance.
Evian's personality can be seen by borrowing a few lines from her.
The first sentence: "Did you find her?" Background: Yu Xiaohe proposed to break off her marriage. According to Vivian, after hearing this, she was silent. She said these words and turned to leave.
The second sentence: "When you feel tired, remember to turn back, I am still behind you." Background: Yu Youhe broke off his engagement with Wenyi, and Yu Youhe was distressed by Xia Qingyou's breakup.
The third sentence: "I only accompany you to take care of you, and I don't ask if you don't talk." BACKGROUND: Wen Yi accidentally learned about Yu Youhe's illness.
The fourth sentence is dialogue, which is roughly as follows:
Literature and Art: "I have resigned. Taking care of you now is the most important thing. You can look for it later. " Yu Youhe: "You are so kind to me, but I can't return anything. I owe you so much. " Wenyi: "I just want you to owe me. You must pay me back in the next life. You can only belong to me in the next life. "
Don't force, don't shout, just wait, just wait. Seemingly negative about love, it is actually the person who knows love best and cherishes it most.
Xia Shanshan's attitude is much more intense when facing the person she loves deeply and the other person doesn't love herself. Of course, in the case of unmarried men and unmarried women, it is not an exaggeration to pursue what you love, even through some small means. Everyone has his own attitude towards love. However, after learning that she is Yu Youhe's sister and he is suffering from diseases, why did she refuse to do bone marrow matching? Didn't she say how much she loved him? Although their brother and sister's bones were finally successfully transplanted, Yu Youhe had to wait too long for treatment. Yu Youren's final death should be at the hands of the woman who is said to love him the most. Because of deep love, you can't accept the fact that you are your own brother and sister? This reason is far-fetched. After learning that Yu Youhe is ill, she still has the leisure to sit on a bench on campus and study quietly? Yu Youhe's ending has always made me unable to forgive and understand her. She always loves herself more than others. I can never appreciate such a person.
From the actor's point of view, Zhou Yue, the actor of Xia Shanshan, is much more wonderful than Pan Li, the actor of literature and art. Although it has a certain influence on the role, the actor's own temperament and acting skills can not be ignored. From the appearance, Yu You and Xia Shanshan really complement each other, with the image of brother and sister and lovers. However, Wen Yi doesn't look like a rich girl, and she doesn't show off when she gestures. However, this does not affect my love for the role of Evian.
Literature and art and Xia Shanshan love the same person, and their views and attitudes towards love reflect two extremes. This should be another intentional act of the director. Applause for such a contrast.
Third, the love between Xia and Shu, the secondary plot in Noon.
Xia Jidong is Xia Qing's cousin and Xia Shanshan's brother. Of course, in the end, he also became Yu Youhe's new brother (but just looking at his appearance, how do you feel that he should be Yu Youhe's brother, and he has grown up for many years. But this is the most unpleasant character in the whole play. You call him a coward, but he seems to be a very manly man. You call him a man, but he really doesn't look like a man. Because I knew from an early age that there was no blood relationship between my father and uncle, my feelings for my cousin Xia Qingyou had already surpassed the general brotherhood. That love is love, but it happened to provoke a quiet good friend Shu Hui, euphemistically called Shu Hui and quiet personality are similar. Who are you trying to fool? Every time I see Shu Hui, I always ask, "What about tranquility?" If I were Shu Hui, I wouldn't be bored to death, but I would be angry alive. On the wedding day, the groom can actually escape marriage for the contradiction between tranquility and Yu Youhe, and go straight to tranquility. No wonder I fainted on the spot after I left. Who else can you fool? There are many reasons for Shu Hui's cheating in the future, and Xia Jidong is to blame.
Shu Hui in Michelle gives people a refreshing feeling. She is more simple than Xia Qing, more straightforward than Xia, and full of tolerance and fantasy about love. In addition, Michelle's language expression with her own personality characteristics has also added too much popularity to this role. Michelle is not beautiful, but her acting is first class.
Fourth, the stage of the old bones.
It's really a pity to arrange a few old bones behind this. It is extremely surprising to count the middle-aged and elderly characters in this play. Who is not a well-known senior performing artist? Wang Shihuai, Zhao Jing, Yang Qing and Wang Huaying.
I don't need to mention Wang Shihuai's name too much. In the play, he created the image of an upright, honest, educated and forbearing good husband and father.
Zhao Jing is a beauty, her fat figure can never hide her elegant demeanour, and her temperament is there! Such a mother gave birth to Yu You and such a son, which is convincing both visually and psychologically.
Yang Qing is good at playing a provocative and fierce role. Sure enough, this time she appeared as an ordinary woman. In connection with previous TV dramas reflecting Shanghai, there are more or less such female images in the dramas. Directors don't really think this is the typical image of middle-aged and elderly women in Shanghai, do they? If you really think so, I am silent!
Wang Huaying, a nobody in this play, impressed me most: Karma or Pan Hannian!
These old bone-playing artists don't have much room to play because their plots focus on problems and their scenes are not very heavy (the scenes of Wang Shikui and Yang Qing are still somewhat important). However, due to their joining in the performance, the play "Noon" was overwhelmed, which really added a lot of weight to the visibility of the play.
Fifth, more puzzling questions about the play "Noon".
Every play has some puzzles, and Noon is no exception. I roughly summed it up:
1, Xia family used to be a capitalist, so naturally they have a house. Didn't they all be nationalized during the Cultural Revolution? When did you send the property back? As soon as it was sent back, the whole building was filled with Yang Qing's aunts who shouted "Pity, Pity, Pity" every day, but the houses were ups and downs from room to room. Shu Hui's family has nothing to say, but judging from the living conditions, it is not a small advantage, just a private villa. Will this give people the impression that the living environment of Shanghai people is almost like this? Director, if you want a down-and-out aristocrat to remember you clearly, don't make a scene at every turn. Let me wait for ordinary people! I remember walking in Ruijin with a classmate when I was in primary school. She pointed to a whole street and said, before liberation, this whole street belonged to my grandfather. I lost more than one head at once! Of course, I have to contact her and ask her if there is a policy that her family can take back the whole street as private property.
Shanghai seems to be too far away from the prosperity in 1930s. It has been telling the story of "Old Koehler", but it is really rare. Almost all the actors over 40 years old in the play climbed over from the bullets and the sports revolution. They don't see the old-fashioned Shanghai people, and they are too lazy to see the old-fashioned Shanghai people. So we saw a group of ordinary people who lived in luxury villas, wore glamorous clothes and held the title of director's wife. Some temperaments are innate, but most of them are created by the acquired environment, which cannot be compensated and replaced by actors' acting skills.
The costume in the play is a great failure. The shooting period is hot, so naturally you can't wear too much. However, most of the characters filmed in this drama are directors, managers, doctors, directors, flight attendants, gold collars and so on. However, clothes are full of family spirit everywhere and have not played the role of making people want clothes. The costumes in the play have no texture, and they are even less bony to wear on the actors. The most obvious is the costumes of Xia Qingyou and Yu. Xia Qingyou is petite, and it is only natural that her clothes should be handled delicately. But the character is 27 years old, and she still wears a suspender skirt and is naked all day to show her cuteness. Yu is the director's wife, but her clothes are not expensive at all. She even wore a green toilet at the birthday party, which made people vomit blood. Fortunately, Zhao Jing's personal temperament is excellent, which greatly makes up for the defects of clothing. This reminds me of the noble and dignified * * * in The Last Romance (I can't remember her name). She is simply the most beautiful scenery in the play. Zhao Jing's appearance and figure are basically similar to hers, but the clothes she wears are different, so the effect is too bad.
4. It is obviously a beautiful and lingering love. When the misunderstanding was eliminated and the truth came out, there was such an embarrassing scene. Yu Youhe left Shanghai by plane, and Xia Qingyou got on the plane to pursue. Taking advantage of her special status as a stewardess, she changed into a stewardess uniform. Then a beautiful voice came from the loudspeaker on the plane, "Wish a couple who have been waiting for 10 years get back together". Then Yu Youhe saw Xia Qing walking around him like a stewardess. Xia Qingyou walked in the footsteps of a stewardess, and the two embraced and the people on the plane applauded. Then I fell down. To be sensational, there must be high-level things, beautiful things and imaginative things. Is it just to respond to Xia Qingyou's sentence "I am a flight attendant, just looking forward to meeting him in the air one day?" ? Then when you meet, you don't have to let the whole plane applaud you again. Who knows who is on this plane? Such a beautiful relationship will eventually turn into a positive result in a gorgeous and grand background. Can't it be quiet and sweet? This scene is handled very well. On the plane, Yu Youhe fell asleep, and Xia Qing put her head on her shoulder. There is no dialogue, but the audience naturally understands what the director and actors want to say.
5. There is another question that is quite puzzling. Xia Qingyou confirmed that she was pregnant after learning that she and Yu Youhe were brother and sister. Generally, women will notice physical changes from 1 month and a half to 2 months. Let's say two months. Later, she learned about Yu Youhe's illness and learned that they were not actually brother and sister. After finding the same bone marrow match as Yu Youhe, she went all the way to France to beg for Xia Shanshan. Finally, the operation was successful and he recovered. They walked into the church happily. How many months does it take to complete all these experiences? At least it will take about three to five months. In this way, when she entered the church, she should be pregnant for seven months, or at least five months. But when Miss Xia wears a skirt and smiles, her figure is still the same!
Sixth, the theme song and the ending song
The theme song "Forever Love" and the ending song "Love is still there". Both songs are catchy and pleasing to the ear, which is very suitable for singing. Especially the ending song, the tune is very beautiful and euphemistic, and the lyrics are also beautifully filled. The success of the song undoubtedly adds a lot of color to the surge.
