In terms of Zhou Yemang's own image, no matter how many filters or post-retouching are applied to him, he is destined to almost miss the role of high-end atmosphere.
Whether it is a high-level intellectual like Shen Zhuoran, or a somewhat heroic character like Li Heibao, even if his dark skin is more suitable for years of outdoor water sports, he has no chance of these roles standing in the clouds.
Although the image is somewhat lacking, although this image somewhat restricts Zhou Yemang's acting path, it does not prevent him from becoming the "king of drama".
Who would have thought that such an inconspicuous role-player at the beginning would be so accomplished in the art of theatrical performance that it is not an exaggeration to call him the "king of drama".
年近七十歲的周野芒,雖然在影視獎項方面有所欠缺,卻是“第28屆上海白玉蘭戲劇表演藝術獎主角獎”的獲得者,還是“第五屆國際戲劇學院獎最佳主角”的獲得者,更在“中國戲劇梅花獎”中有所斬獲。
and being recognized by these drama awards may prove that Zhou Yemang's performance and acting skills are not weaker than the actors and actresses who won awards.
When almost everyone in the finale of "The Second Half of My Life" stood in the clouds and was peaceful, when Shen Zhuoran maintained a good relationship with almost all the "ex-girlfriends".
As an old man who came out of the depths of the mountains, and as an old father who can only be proud of giving birth to Liu Lina, a daughter in his life, Zhou Yemang firmly rooted his interpretation of Liu Debao on the earth.
Even all the characters in "The Second Half of My Life", whether they are the main or supporting roles, whether they are old or young, give people a sense of not so real, or a feeling of over-glorification or exaltation.
Only Liu Debao, interpreted by Zhou Yemang, has always been a lonely husband who has no right to speak at home, and a tool man who can only get a moment of peace and nature from fishing.
It is difficult to say that Sun Baoqin and Liu Debao, a husband and wife combination with strong women and weak men, came together when they were young and had no emotional foundation at all.
Could it be that Liu Debao went through this life with Sun Baoqin so "nestly", because when he was young, he also regarded this woman as a love like a pearl in his palm.
Whether it is because of the simplicity of Liu Debao's ability to get a city hukou, or because Sun Baoqin's image and appearance cannot find a better choice than Liu Debao.
Such a marriage, which can be said to be incorrect, has become one of the important past events that Sun Baoqin often uses to make mistakes and ridicule her husband in her married life.
Although "The Second Half of My Life" deliberately downplays the economic conditions of Liu Debao and Sun Baoqin's family, it can be seen from the amount of salary, living conditions, fishing gear prices, etc., that the reason why this family can marry the Shen family is entirely because the son-in-law and daughter have set a lifelong decision on campus.
Although many people will think that the "right door" should be spurned and abandoned, to a certain extent, it is also because "the door is not right" that Shen Qing and Lina's separation and other results have been paved.
或許當下的年輕人很難從劉得寶這個角色身上感悟到什麼,但像劇中劉得寶這個歲數的老年人,甚至是八零后、九零后的中年人,或多或少都會從他身上看到自己或旁人的影子。
Because you are likely to have experienced it yourself, because you are likely to have seen it in your relatives and friends, because Liu Debao is almost the only character that can stand in reality.
As a ceiling-level existence in the drama industry, as an old actor who is nearly seventy years old, Liu Debao in "The Second Half of My Life" was successfully grasped by Zhou Yemang his essence.
Liu Debao's life can almost be shaped by doing nothing, and the two things that Liu Debao is most proud of in his life are that he gave birth to his daughter Liu Lina, and the other is that he can catch a big fish that is the envy of his fishing friends.
Liu Debao in front of his fishing friends can be described as high-spirited, but Liu Debao who returned home has become a tool man who can only do nothing in the eyes of his wife, and can only work hard and come and go when he is called.
In Sun Baoqin's eyes, there may have been no so-called love for this man for a long time, and it is even likely that emotions such as family affection, which will slowly breed after getting along for a long time, are very weak.
This may also be why whenever Shen Zhuoran changes his new wife, whenever he listens to his wife Sun Baoqin complaining about Shen Zhuoran, what Liu Debao, as a husband, reveals in and out of his words is not completely echoed and agreed.
It wasn't until Sun Baoqin once again embarrassed herself in front of the hotel proprietress that Sun Baoqin snatched Liu Debao's mobile phone on the bus and sternly rejected Liu Dong's inquiry to buy a cemetery, and Liu Debao, who had endured it all his life, finally broke out.
As a husband who has always been inferior to his wife in the marital relationship, Liu Debao even threw his mobile phone out of the car window to show that he couldn't bear it, because he swallowed his anger for a lifetime, and chose to go to the deepest part of the reservoir silently.
This may be the best way to reflect Zhou Yemang's acting skills, although it takes a bit of a catastrophe for the relationship between the characters in the finale, but Zhou Yemang, who has almost no lines throughout the whole process, just uses Mu Ne's facial expressions to successfully complete Liu Debao's inner description and display at this moment.
It doesn't matter if you're in it or not, whether you've had hearsay about this kind of person in your life.
When you see this old man who has been rooted in the earth almost the whole time, when you see this husband who was finally crushed by his wife's strength, the sense of substitution as a man, a husband and even a human being arises spontaneously.
Although because of Liu Debao's suicide, it indirectly led to Lao Gou's departure; Although because of Liu Debao's cowardice, people who like the role of Lao Gou have an inexplicable sense of hatred for him.
But isn't this Lau Debao the most real "reality into art"? Isn't this Liu Debao the real "art comes from life, but it is higher than life"?
In the end, Zhou Yemang used his superb acting skills to successfully interpret what it means to "the tragic life of a grassroots man".
