The trouble with the image of the comedian is not limited to the audience. Sha Yi worked hard to change his image in variety shows and participated in works such as "Little Joy", but he faced the dilemma of his acting skills being fixed in a certain type. Whether actors can cross the boundary between funny and affectionate has become a topic that needs to be discussed in depth.
The audience laughed while watching sad scenes.

It is an indisputable fact that variety shows have increased the popularity of actors, but they also make powerful actors face greater challenges in their acting skills. The variety show effect is a double-edged sword. It is not only an accelerator for an actor's career, but it may also become a shackle for his artistic development.
There is a cognitive gap between actors and the audience. The audience's familiarity with the image of the comedian makes talented actors underestimated in other roles. Whether actors should develop in a variety of ways and break through the audience's cognitive framework has become a question worth thinking about.
Talented actors participate less in variety shows. Is it because they pay more attention to the depth of their characters and dramatic expressions, rather than just being satisfied with funny effects? The versatility of acting skills has become a delicate balance between variety shows and powerful actors.
Are the audience's expectations of actors too limited? Actors should be given more opportunities to show their versatility and go beyond the label of comedian. This is an issue that needs reflection. In the trade-off between variety shows and careers, whether actors should more carefully consider the impact on their professional image when choosing programs, and weighing short-term popularity and long-term career development, has become a topic of great concern.

Should audiences be more open-minded about actors’ performance expectations and accept more diverse performances?
Has the trend of variety entertainment led to talented actors keeping their distance? Should they be more proactive in finding the right balance in variety shows and showing their versatility? In the current era of variety shows, whether actors can have more choices, achieve outstanding performances in different types of plays, and present a more diverse artistic style to the audience has become an urgent future direction for the entertainment industry to consider.
At the intersection of acting and entertainment, capable actors should not be afraid of the proliferation of variety shows and maintain their professional bottom line. The audience can open their minds and accept the diverse performances of the actors. In the future, actors can show a wider world on the variety show stage and bring wonderful changes in drama to the audience.
