The first domestic drama "In the Name of Beauty" with the theme of medical beauty was broadcast "not good or bad" in April. "Not bad" means that it continues to dominate the ratings of various satellite TVs, and "bad" means that there is a lot of controversy on the Internet.
Many people thought that this drama would expose the secrets of the medical beauty industry, but the plot only started from the subtlety of human nature and humanistic care, giving the audience a science of the positive value of medical beauty and plastic surgery.
If you want to blame, you can only blame Yao Chen. Who asked her to play the plastic surgeon Qiao Yang as a public lover, and her personality charm is too strong, so she can't be "controversial".
There is a topic on Weibo#姚晨十句臺詞就立住了一個角色#。 Qiao Yang's mouth was as if it had been quenched with poison, and he said the truth ruthlessly and heart-piercingly.
In the face of the girl with a love brain, she persuaded with good words:
Bring your boyfriend, and I'll make him Tony Leung to meet your own needs.
Faced with a patient who has been subjected to domestic violence for a long time and is submissive, she looked into her eyes and solemnly admonished:
From today onwards, quit the word sorry, be yourself, and don't have to nod your head to anyone.
Rejecting surgery that sacrifices function for the sake of form, she asked:
Is this aesthetic need spontaneous or instilled?
To her younger sister, who is addicted to plastic surgery, she said:
There are many ways to be recognized, and there is not only one way to be beautiful.
Many topical dramas use golden sentences to pile up lines, and by the way, they are transformed into useful hot search words. But I read too many golden sentences, which makes people feel very suspended, and normal people will not use golden sentences to communicate in life.
Yao Chen's charm lies in the fact that she can turn ordinary lines into golden sentences, and she will not explode any sentence when she comes out alone, and she will feel a sense of refreshment when she puts it in the beginning and end of the plot.
This kind of skill is not taught by the line teacher. How to make a line interesting depends on how much homework the actor has done solidly.
Before the filming of "In the Name of Beauty" started, Yao Chen did fieldwork, not an ordinary experience of life, but an in-depth exchange of ideas with doctors.
Once, she asked a self-incisive question: "Do you think it's a plastic surgeon's job to meet the needs of patients?" The plastic surgeon replied: "A doctor's vocation is nothing more than eight words, to treat diseases and save people, and to save lives and help the wounded." ”
In the play, Qiao Yang rejected the requests of many "beauty seekers" for excessive medical beauty. Many netizens feel that they are whitewashing the medical beauty industry. Netizens said: "Medical beauty institutions are all about making money, so there will be no doctors like Qiao Yang." But when Yao Chen's personal experience in the hospital made her portray a plastic surgeon who surpassed the public's perception, it was not because the script was written like that that she acted like that, but she did believe it.
The opening story of "In the Name of Beauty" is crucial to shaping the character of Qiao Yang. The plot is a girl with a facial tumor who came to the hospital for surgery, and the conservative treatment plan was to remove 100% of the tumor, but Qiao Yang did not hesitate to put medical safety on the second side, and even used semi-coercive means to force the dean to agree to the 0% tumor removal plan. In the end, the surgery was successful, but she was transferred out of plastic surgery and her job changed from plastic surgery to hair transplants for balding patients.
This is a dangerous plot, which tests the scale of the actor's performance, if you blindly act sassy and cool, it will only make the audience feel that this person is highlighting his personal ability at the expense of the hospital's reputation and the lives of patients. Although she can understand her original intention of thinking about patients, it is not logical.
But Yao Chen's performance was very modest. The premise of moderation is that the words of the plastic surgeon gave her a strong sense of faith: "A doctor's vocation is to treat the sick and save people, save the life and help the wounded", and the disease is not only in the body, but also in the heart.
There is a scene in the back where the girl can live a normal life after a successful operation. Before being discharged from the hospital, she wanted to see Dr. Qiao to express her gratitude, but Qiao Yang avoided it, and she secretly watched the female patient walk out of the hospital step by step on the second floor. She didn't want the girl to see her, maybe she didn't enjoy the feeling of being grateful. Seeing the patient discharged from the hospital is a ritual that belongs to the doctor's own sense of ceremony, and Qiao Yang has been most satisfied by fulfilling the doctor's duty to the patient from beginning to end, eliminating all difficulties.
There are many images of doctors who wear white coats as windbreakers in medical dramas, and their manners are sassy and hot, and watching too much will inevitably make the audience feel suspended, because it is different from what we usually see in the hospital. Especially Qiao Yang, the image of a genius doctor who gives idealism is easier to act in levitation.
Yao Chen's meticulous design not only shows the doctor's side beyond the patient's perspective, but also constructs reasonable daily emotions and life details for the character, explaining where Qiao Yang's idealism comes from.
Mother loves life, has the pursuit of beauty, likes to play the piano and raise flowers; Her father was a well-known surgeon who had little interest in life, always pressing cigarette butts in flower pots, placing high hopes on her but ignoring her ideas. Qiao Yang inherited his mother's love for beauty and his father's surgical skills, and the contradictions and estrangements between parents blossomed into new flowers in his daughter.
Therefore, Qiao Yang will try her best to fight for the patient's surgery opportunity, and understand that she must strive for a normal life even if she risks her life. Qiao Yang said: "For many people, beauty is as important as life."
Qiao Yang's character history is not a part of the performance in the actor's desk work, but it is the most necessary part to complete the performance。
Yao Chen believes that there are no shortcuts to acting. The actor's job is not to skillfully say the lines according to the script, but to perform the "meaning" of each scene for the audience to see. In this way, the audience will feel that the characters are believable.
The role of Qiao Yang, at first glance, will think that it is Yao Chen's performance comfort zone, stubborn and proud, superb medical skills, not understanding the world, and only working with one belief. If you look closely, you can see that her previous roles are different from Yao Chen's, and the audience is convinced because there are many details.
Netizens have a saying to describe the relaxation of Yao Chen's performance.
Liu Yifei's sense of relaxation stems from her unique beauty. Yao Chen's sense of relaxation comes from her self-confidence when she fits the role perfectly, and every role seems to grow naturally in her.
