Su Ze looked at himself after finishing his makeup. He had a plateau red face, wrinkled clothes, gray dust on his head, and a silly dialect from the village.
Poverty alleviation cadre Ma Defu!
I have to say that it looks like the male lead, but it is actually difficult to act, especially in a group of powerful characters with distinct personalities. They are like pearls, and they need a bead chain to string them all together, and the character Ma Defu I play is this bead chain.
But the pearls are shining brightly, and the pearl chain may lose its performance. For details, please refer to Lu Yi in In the Name of the People.
After experiencing life during this period, Su Ze had a deep understanding of the character. His face was deliberately shaped to be serious and serious, and he deliberately looked more mature than the character.
Of course, it is intentional, and when the earthy accent is spoken from the seemingly serious face, there is a mismatched sense of joy.
Ma Defu, a young grassroots cadre, is a bit deliberately upright, but when he speaks, he immediately transforms into a naive country boy. This contrast is his biggest trump card.
With a northwest accent and this face, we were lucky enough to carry a bag cross-body, stoop a little, and pedal hard on the bicycle, which was the most shining means of transportation on the plateau back then.
A grassroots village cadre who leads everyone in the fight against poverty has stood firm!
"Well, I'm quite capable!" Zhang Jiayi looked at Su Ze and nodded secretly. He was worthy of being able to play two roles. This role is perfect.
Not only him, but also Yanni, Guo Jingfei, Huang Jue, and You Yong all had their eyes lit up. This was the first time they saw Dingzhuang. How could there be Su Ze who appeared out of the blue and Ma Defu in front of them.
"You are grinning and vomiting like a thief for the first time!"
“Well, I’m just asking you, are you unlucky or not?”
The filming officially started, and I saw Zhang Jiayi wearing a torn peaked cap and a white vest with a torn collar that had turned yellow, with a weathered face and a small branch in his mouth from time to time. He was so domineering that he defied the sky and the earth.
Rude and impolite, yet inexplicably kind, the rural old man's ruggedness and informality are vivid and vivid.
Su Ze was very excited. As the father and son who had the most rivalry, Zhang Jiayi was destined to be able to play the role freely, and he was from the northwest. According to Kong Sheng’s words:
The more you let yourself go, the better!
But on the contrary, I have to hold back, and all my energy can only be used inwards, which is actually very difficult to perform.
I thought it would be easy for a character with minor flaws to stand out, but how can a character who connects the entire drama, has scattered roles, and lacks focused growth stages stand out in an old drama?
It doesn't work without positive energy, but if it's too high, it will look like a thin slogan instead of a real person.
Ma Defu is different from Guan Hongfeng. It is difficult for one person to play two roles, but the whole drama is dedicated to the Kwan brothers, and the others are basically supporting roles, and they are proper male protagonists.
It is also different from Jiang Yang. Although The Silent Truth is also a group drama, Jiang Yang, as the fuse, has his own complete character destiny. From the vigorous life to the separation of his wife and children, his destiny makes the audience moved.
And what about Madford?
There is no protagonist aura, no domineering spirit, no ups and downs...
All the plots are by no means the clichés of so-called bitterness that create a cool drama, but are truly down-to-earth.
How to persuade people to open up wasteland in the Gobi Desert? What to do if the wheat fields have no water or electricity? What to do if the villagers are unwilling to grow mushrooms? What to do if the mushrooms grown are unsaleable...
How to deal with a formalistic superior?
They are all trivial and difficult, and they stump everyone. What do you think we should do?
Moreover, this character cannot get a golden finger and has to rely on begging his father to sue his grandmother, even risking losing his official position.
As the filming progressed, Su Ze said to himself every day: From the beginning to the end, you never stopped for a day, and sometimes you were not a human being inside or outside?
Always in a difficulty, always solving problems for others, not being understood by others, having to take care of everything, why do you have to swallow all the suffering in your own belly?
Are you stupid?
"This kid is really good!" Those who are fans of the authorities know clearly. As director Kong Sheng understands each character best, especially Ma Defu, who is surrounded by a group of powerful actors and is surrounded by enemies.
Everyone is a crane, and they all have the spirit of immortality, but you are just a chicken and a dog?
This is not a matter of choosing generals among cripples!
It seemed like an understatement, but in fact I was still worried about Su Ze, and even decided to talk more about drama if it really didn't work out. After all, I was still young and it was a good thing to learn more.
Can it bear fruit?
They don’t use it at all!
Ma Defu was only 19 years old when he first appeared. He was actually still a child, but he was responsible for the fate of the entire Diaozhuang people. On the surface, Su Ze's eyes were calm, but in fact, as he grew up, he changed slightly every moment.
At first, his eyes were confused and impulsive. When some of the first batch of immigrants came back, the anxiety in his heart was reflected in his body, and he almost got into a fight with Uncle Dayou played by You Yong.
It's that idealism that makes the audience feel immersed in it, and they can't help but follow Ma Defu to defeat monsters and pass the level.
Doesn’t every protagonist start out weak?
The best thing about Su Ze lies in four words:
Reasonable!
There is not a single second where the theme takes precedence over the characters. The story and characters are forever rooted in the soil.
Shuihua's father sold his childhood sweetheart to a donkey for a water cellar. When Defu heard the news at the entrance of the village, he was stunned at first, and then had mixed emotions.
There is tension, worry, anxiety, resentment, and even an imperceptible...
Joy and relaxation!
But as a village cadre, he had to go looking for her by bike, and finally found his childhood sweetheart on a stopped train.
"Are you here to take me back?" Looking at the splash of water that was like a frightened kitten shivering, Su Ze's face was full of confusion. He opened his lips several times to say something, but he didn't know what to say.
"Let's go!"
"Remember to run away!"
"Go to Lanzhou, no, further away!"
He took a deep breath, turned around suddenly, and suddenly stopped when he remembered something. He took out all the money on his body, handed it to Shuihua and said, "Remember to take care of yourself!"
Feeling Su Ze's true feelings and remembering all the details planned in advance, Reyza suddenly burst into tears, but she smiled happily.
Su Ze looked at the pear-shaped face in front of him and secretly applauded, the scene was going well.
The emotions here are very complicated, including the sadness of not being able to be with her sweetheart, and the warmth of feeling her sweetheart's last thoughts. Defu's kindness also aroused her kindness, and she began to care about her father again.
"Beautiful!" Kong Sheng looked at the monitor, slapped his thigh and said, "Passed!"
"How was my performance?" Reyza quickly asked Su Ze, nervously saying: "Do I need another one?"
"No problem!" Su Ze encouraged with a smile: "Very good."
Until he heard this answer, Reyza finally breathed a sigh of relief. Unknowingly, he was full of trust in Su Ze. He said that it was okay.
"Have you reached this level?" Zu Feng looked at Su Ze. It's normal to pressure you. There are differences in strength everywhere. It's not normal for an old man to look down on the younger ones. It's not normal for him to pressure you a few times.
But the highest level is not to pressure, but to lead, using one's own emotions to drive the opponent, and stimulating the opponent with true feelings, so as to achieve better results.
