It seems that Huang Lei is not so easy to turn back when he is in the middle-aged man with a wide heart and a fat body. He is also 50 years old, and it is indeed a relatively difficult challenge for the middle-aged male stars of internal entertainment to control his body that is constantly developing horizontally. It's just that in the new drama "Summer of Zhang Weiguo", the Zhang Weiguo he plays is slightly different from the previous "Little Farewell", "Little Joy" and "Xiao Min's Home": Zhang Weiguo does not have a fairy wife and lives in a high-end residence in a big city. A middle-class man with decent jobs, this time he is a relatively low-ranking civilian in Beijing. 
The arrival of the mid-life crisis is unexpected and misfortune. Before his father's death, he deliberately smashed an antique worth 200 million yuan, and told Zhang Weiguo a piece of news like a bolt from the blue: he was not a descendant of a royal family at all, his grandfather was a eunuch, and his grandfather took him from Nanjing to Beijing. Dad, so he is not "Old Beijing" but "Old Nanjing", he is actually a "descendant of eunuchs".
The attitude of the drama is Huang Lei's attitude towards life, and it is also the attitude towards life of the series of middle-class men played by Huang Lei. Because of this, many audiences criticized "Huang Lei played himself again". It really wasn't that the audience was mean.
For example, Liu Yijun in "The Beginning" and Liu Yijun in "Summer of Zhang Weiguo" are two completely different people. Lin Hongnian used to be a "decent man". He was vain, good-looking, and much arrogant. The frustration that followed in middle age, and his death had to suffer for face, made this character ridiculous and cute.
But Fang Yuan in "Little Joy", Chen Zhuo in "Xiao Min's Home", and Zhang Weiguo in "Summer of Zhang Weiguo", although they have different classes, they are actually the same kind of people, and Huang Lei also endowed them with similar performance characteristics: The mouth is broken, there are many words in various tones, stuttering when anxious, and drooping eyes when the mood is low...
Frankly speaking, the author is not too disgusted with Huang Lei's performance. On the one hand out of frustration. After all, Huang Lei is no longer the handsome and handsome state of "Homecoming" and "Oranges Are Red". Nowadays, others are middle-aged, good husbands, good fathers, and good cooks in variety shows. There is basically no mystery of actors. Feelings, any acting will inevitably carry the shadow of "Longing for Life", so let him go.
More importantly, many people say that the middle-aged man played by Huang Lei is "greasy", but in fact the opposite is true. Huang Lei interprets a relatively scarce middle-aged man - "not greasy". This kind of non-greasy middle-aged man has some things in common: his mood is quite stable, he will not lose control of his emotions due to any setback, and throw his anger on his wife and children; he is always soft-spoken to his wife, and has a lot of disputes. Quickly put down his body to coax his wife, even if he is middle-aged, he can still retain a rare little romance; he does not have that exaggerated desire to control his children, for example, he will not be like the best father in a hot post circulating on the Internet today— - Burning hundreds of thousands of words of novels handwritten by his daughter, in order to let her improve her math grades; on the contrary, he is willing to be the child's friend, willing to listen to the child, understand the child...
Therefore, if you think that the middle-aged man played by Huang Lei is greasy, it may be because of the perception of the performance. A good example for young men to learn from.
It's just that the middle-aged man played by Huang Lei in the past is sufficient in urban middle-class dramas, but in "Summer of Zhang Weiguo", it is a bit of a middle-class attitude to imagine the feeling of civilian life, and there is a barrier.
"Summer of Zhang Weiguo" may be reminiscent of "The Happy Life of the Poor Zhang Damin", but it is obviously not as high as "The Happy Life of the Poor Zhang Damin". The reason is that the misery of life presented by the latter is real, personal, and humiliating. The tenacity and wisdom of the low-level little people in the tempering of hardships allow us to gain real strength, but the sadness of the background plays a role. Do not go.
In contrast, "Summer of Zhang Weiguo" seems to have a lot of hardships, and the screenwriters have slipped through it gently. For example, Zhang Weiguo "lost" tens of millions of real estate and the only cash at once. His calmness and calmness are a good thing, but his calmness and calmness seem to be too ungrounded and too unworldly. .
"Summer of Zhang Weiguo" poster
Zhang Weiguo studied Peking Opera since he was a child. He was a good seedling of Peking Opera martial artists when he was young. However, he injured his waist during a performance, and has since repaired props in the Peking Opera Troupe. Now the situation of the Peking Opera Troupe is not very good, and the salary of Zhang Weiguo, who is the logistics, is even worse. Therefore, like many poor people, Zhang Weiguo's hobby is to buy lottery tickets, hoping to become rich overnight.Zhang Weiguo (played by Huang Lei) on the lottery
For a long time, Zhang Weiguo's life was not bad. It is said that his grandfather used to be a clerk in the palace. He was a descendant of the royal family and left a courtyard for them on the Second Ring Road in Beijing. The market value of this courtyard house is in the tens of millions. Therefore, Zhang Weiguo eats enough and the whole family is not hungry. He is widowed. He has an elderly father and a son who is preparing to take the college entrance examination. The family lives in a lush, spacious and bright courtyard. Days can be considered leisurely and enjoyable.The arrival of the mid-life crisis is unexpected and misfortune. Before his father's death, he deliberately smashed an antique worth 200 million yuan, and told Zhang Weiguo a piece of news like a bolt from the blue: he was not a descendant of a royal family at all, his grandfather was a eunuch, and his grandfather took him from Nanjing to Beijing. Dad, so he is not "Old Beijing" but "Old Nanjing", he is actually a "descendant of eunuchs".
From descendants of royalty to descendants of eunuchs
What's even more frightening is that this courtyard house, which is worth tens of millions, is not his father's, but his father rented it with a friend who immigrated to the United States in the 1970s. After his father's death, his friend's grandson immediately proposed to increase the rent.Siheyuan also flew
Originally, the 200 million yuan antique was broken, and the estimated value was only 20 million, but the auction fee was 700,000. Zhang Weiguo tightened his belt and paid the fee (together with the 500,000 that his father-in-law deposited with him). I didn't expect to encounter a liar. I have no father, no house, no money, and I am impoverished... I was originally considered a "hidden rich" in Beijing (the family has a courtyard), but now I am completely poor.The family has been deceived
Zhang Weiguo's brother, Lin Hongnian (played by Liu Yijun), his father's former adopted son, shares the same illness as Zhang Weiguo. In the early years, Zhang Weiguo broke his waist. Out of guilt, Lin Hongnian left without saying goodbye to Nanjing. He met and got married with Gu Jiayi (played by Hai Qing), and slowly became a well-known host in a local TV station in Nanjing. However, as an old-fashioned media person, under the impact of the new media, Lin Hongnian was losing ground, and even lost his job in the end; his marriage with Gu Jiayi was going to break down, and the adopted daughter did not kiss him; infertile...Lin Hongnian (Liu Yijun)'s career goes downhill
Although these two middle-aged "miserable" men get together and cry a lot when they get drunk, "interesting" is the background color of "Zhang Weiguo's Summer". Eliminate misery, dog blood and sensationalism. For example, before Zhang Weiguo's father died, he shouted, "Your grandma is your grandfather, and your grandfather is a eunuch!" As soon as the wind blew, the ashes were thrown into Gu Jiayi's mouth. When Gu Jiayi got angry, Zhang Weiguo's hand shook, and Dad's urn fell into the river. Another example is Lin Hongnian, who is deeply in love with Zhang Weiguo's brother, what's the matter with you? My son, I will help you, and the other side will write Zhang Weiguo's experience into "Descendants of the Eunuch". Now Zhang Weiguo's tragic incident is known to the whole Internet...The ashes were scattered on Gu Jiayi (Hai Qing)'s face
After the middle-aged crisis of two middle-aged men, what "Summer of Zhang Weiguo" really wants to convey to the audience is the wisdom of life that is positive, optimistic, calm, and having fun in the midst of suffering. The sky can't fall, as long as people have a breath, then there is no hurdle that can't be overcome.The attitude of the drama is Huang Lei's attitude towards life, and it is also the attitude towards life of the series of middle-class men played by Huang Lei. Because of this, many audiences criticized "Huang Lei played himself again". It really wasn't that the audience was mean.

Zhang Weiguo, who was frustrated in his life, opened the second spring of love
And all kinds of accidents and misfortunes did not let Zhang Weiguo really experience the bottom life and really fall into a desperate situation. At most, he is a housekeeping auntie, fishing for three days and drying the net for two days, or occasionally using the company's car to solicit customers. On weekdays, he is still a Beijing uncle who talks about all kinds of nonsense... As long as he has a little life experience , I also know that living at the bottom of the city is not like this, and making a living at the bottom has never been as easy as Zhang Weiguo.Zhang Weiguo did some housekeeping aunt's work, even if he had suffered hardships
"Summer of Zhang Weiguo" is more like a crisis of civilian life from the perspective of the middle class. It emphasizes the importance of emotional value. The disadvantage is that it does not touch the suffering of the bottom civilians, and all the life wisdom extracted will inevitably flow into chicken soup. .
