Middle-aged actors find their own Little Joy in the cracks.

　　Cctv newsNine times out of ten, life is not satisfactory, only a little joy.

　　The four children got what they wanted, and they all had their own places after the college entrance examination; Three families bumped into each other, experienced anxiety and pain, and finally gained their own little joy … The hit TV series Little Joy, which has been unhappy all the time, finally ushered in a relatively "satisfactory" ending.

　　Little Tao Hong, who hasn’t taken the role for many years, didn’t expect Little Joy to be so popular. At first, he didn’t want to take the role of "Song Qian". He just joined in with the mentality of helping, and only agreed after turning on the phone, not to make a strong comeback. "I don’t have a play, but I don’t have nothing to do every day. I’m busy." Since he married Xú Zhēng, Tao Hong Jr. has gradually faded out of people’s sight and devoted himself to his wife. After having a daughter in 2008, accompanying her to grow up day by day became the happiest thing for Tao Hong Jr.

　　It’s not easy to tidy up a home. It took 10 years to learn how to be a mother. After returning to the family, Tao Hong Jr. once again attracted attention with the image of such a paranoid mother and became the most discussed mother in Little Joy. The audience remembered that Tao Hong, who had a pair of peach eyes, had interpreted so many classic characters. She has been clever and charming in Black Eyes, Empty Mirror, Sunny Days and Pig with Bright Spring, and she never forgets anything.

　　Interestingly, on the one hand, he became famous too early and left the screen for too long, so that many young viewers didn’t know little Tao Hong at all; On the other hand, the image of "Song Qian", an unlovable but true "Chinese-style" mother, makes people see Tao Hong’s acting again. "I feel great, don’t know me, so I can ‘ Do whatever you want ’ Play more different roles. "

　　Not long ago, Christina’s speech at the FIRST Film Festival calling on directors and producers to give Mesozoic actresses a chance caused a heated discussion. The passive situation that the subject matter is far away, the role is missing, and the older actress has no play is once again put on the table. In "Little Joy", in addition to the formidable young actors, the excellent acting skills of six middle-aged actors are the quality guarantee of the whole play.

　　Tao Hong Jr. thinks that this is not something that a middle-aged actress can’t play in the final analysis, but something that the whole middle-aged women group is not concerned by the society. "Without corresponding attention, there will be no film and television works, and no works will tell them. Who will we play?" Nowadays, Tao Hong Jr. is more relaxed. He never picks up plays at random, and he doesn’t need to prove that he can act. If he has good works, he will come out and perform. With inner satisfaction and family harmony, Tao Hong Jr. no longer "competes" with herself, and the pressure and anxiety of middle-aged actresses do not exist here.

　　Yongmei and George W. Tao Hong are old acquaintances. It’s been 20 years since they first collaborated on Where Dreams Start to Little Joy. In the play, Yongmei’s gentle and intellectual mother "liujing" is not only in sharp contrast with Tao Hong’s tough mother "Song Qian", but also has a special friendship with Song Qian’s daughter "Eiko". Many viewers reported that they were often moved to tears by this unforgettable friendship between liujing and Eiko.

　　Making friends with a child, supporting each other and making progress is also Yongmei’s favorite counterpart. Playing mother is nothing new to Yongmei. In "Little Joy", Yongmei, who has never been a mother, just deduced the most ideal mother in the hearts of countless people, giving this role the most comfortable and appropriate appearance, and his acting skills can be seen.

　　Yongmei has always been the kind of actor whose audience is particularly familiar with but whose name is unknown. Liujing, who is as gentle as jade and generous in understanding, has more or less Yongmei’s own shadow. She often gives people the impression of extraordinary temperament. She speaks slowly and eloquently, and people and voices are very comfortable. It seems that seeing her will make her feel better.

　　After 23 years of debut, Yongmei, a non-trained actress, is not a prolific actress. In the entertainment industry, she is even less eager to achieve success and pursue fame and fortune. At the beginning of the year, it seems that the afterheat of Yongmei’s winning the first Berlin film in the mainland with Wang Xiaoshuai’s film Auld Lang Syne has just dissipated. Little Joy is so gentle that liujing in her bones is once again surrounded by powder, and Yongmei, who has always been low-key, has reached a new high in fans and attention, which has made everyone have new expectations for her.

　　The audience slowly understood her story. She has always maintained a cautious sense of alienation in the entertainment industry. After four years without filming, she once said, "I am waiting for the role that belongs to me. I am not in a hurry, so don’t worry." Yongmei, who is in no hurry, still has a temper when she has an opinion. When there is no filming, there are works to find her, and she can only play some unnecessary wife roles. "How to say, like a shelf without a soul." Yongmei refused.

　　"I also have times when I am not gentle, more stubborn and more individual, and sometimes when I am unreasonable." As long as it’s a good character, dynamic and touching, even if it’s repeated, Yongmei thinks it can be played. It’s not that she doesn’t feel the confusion of middle-aged actresses, especially in domestic scripts, which are always stereotyped and faceless, lacking all kinds of middle-aged female images. Therefore, when he meets a good role and cast, Yongmei cherishes it especially. There are some phenomena that she doesn’t agree with and can’t change, but she believes that the current situation that there is no market for powerful actors is slowly changing. At present, it is most important to be yourself.

　　Sha Yi had only eight episodes in Little Joy, and as a special actor, he was a veritable "supporting role". However, as soon as he appeared, "Qiao Weidong" who opened his mouth "Eiko, open the door, stay" contracted all the jokes of the audience. Sha Yi’s "Qiao Weidong" was originally an out-and-out "love rat" image, dressed in flowery shirts, whiskers and crew cut, and quickly won the title of "rustic old man".

　　You can feel the "greasy" of "Qiao Weidong" through the screen. However, it is such a father who is full of humor, afraid of his wife and loves his daughter, and has become the favorite of the audience among the three fathers. Some people say that just seeing Sha Yi’s face makes him want to laugh, and he is a man with his own jokes. With superb acting skills, Sha Yi has successfully promoted the role of "Qiao Weidong" to one of the important leading roles, and more and more scenes have been played.

　　Sha Yi, who had a childhood filter, frequently searched for Little Joy. The charming Bai Zhantang disappeared completely and was replaced by the good father "Old Joe" who knew, loved and cared for children.

　　Over the years, Sha Yi has never faded out of public view, but it seems that he has only done one thing, being a good father to Angie and Xiaoyu. Although not yet a son, Sha Yi, who relies on his two sons to perform variety shows frequently, teases himself that he has ushered in the second spring of his career, which makes him feel helpless.

　　Time is like killing a pig, getting fat and getting out of the dimple. It is hard for people to think that "Qiao Weidong" and "Bai Zhantang" are the same person in Sha Yi now. Legend of the Wulin is indeed the pinnacle of Sha Yi’s popularity and career, but since then, although he has played some roles intermittently, the audience’s impression of him still stays in "Bai Zhantang". Sha Yi seems to be used to it, too. It is much more difficult for him to be a father to his two sons and accompany them to grow up than to be an actor. He doesn’t mind being a green leaf in the family.

　　It is precisely because every character in the play is so lively and all the actors are acting online that "Little Joy" has left so many viewers wanting more. The actors we knew as children are no longer young or even forgotten by us, but when they appear, they are always warm and bright. Just as the director said, life is like "looking for sugar in glass slag" to "joy", and every grain is precious. (Text/Wang Jiaying)
