As the first film of Midnight Food Store, Mark's Daughter mainly tells the story that Mark (Mark Chao), a hearing-impaired sailor, accidentally discovers the abducted baby girl Lele and lives happily together for five years. However, Lele's biological mother, Ai Zhen (Stephy), accidentally learns about her daughter's situation, and the two sides start a love war. After reading the preview, many netizens said that the whole story is simply a drama version of Dear. The trivial bits and pieces are all really happening in the present society, and the sense of substitution and existence is particularly strong and rich.
Besides the fascination with the realistic plot, the subversion of the images of Stephy and Mark Chao in the play is also a major attraction. In the play, Mark Chao plays a slutty boatman with messy hair, stubble face and dark skin, which completely subverts the handsome image in the past. Qi Wei, on the other hand, upgraded and challenged a successful mother who lost her daughter. She has a lot of inner drama. Apart from words, most of her feelings for her daughter are conveyed through her eyes. In addition, Stephy also made great efforts in image this time. In order to fully show the pain of losing her daughter for five years, Stephy looked haggard every time she appeared, especially when her daughter asked Stephy, "Are you my mother?" Her red eyes and pale face are really heartbreaking. It is understood that when shooting for this purpose, Stephy not only wore light makeup, but also had naked lips.
China's version of "Midnight Food Store" has a very strong cast, claiming to have convened "half of the entertainment circle", and the starring role of the first story has attracted the attention of Stephy and Mark Chao. In addition to the subversion of the images of the two actors, various fancy performances are naturally a highlight. In Midnight Food Store, Mark Chao's performance is more external. The deaf-mute father he plays has a lot of emotional outbursts, especially during court mediation. He forced himself, who could not speak, to beg the girl's biological mother "I can" word for word in court. Stephy's performance was more restrained, and she accurately balanced her mother's grief and pain after losing her child. Especially that confrontation with Mark Chao's court, a simple look and a slight movement of the lips made the mother's complicated emotions of entanglement, regret, excitement and sentimentality transfer to perfection when the child was about to be found.
The story of Midnight Food Store is getting more and more exciting. It soothes the myths and loneliness in people's lives step by step with the warmth of food and the emotion of still water, so that people no longer have barriers, suspicions and resentment, and become easy-going and warm-hearted. This China version of Midnight Food Store is worthy of the audience's continued expectation, and there will be amazing stories.
