is here! The hot-blooded male fantasy fantasy costume drama "Fire of Fire" (hereinafter referred to as "Fire") is finally here!
The drama is adapted from the super IP animation "Wu Geng Ji". Since it was launched in 2022, it has aroused the expectations of many netizens.
In the past two years, "comic dramas" have gradually become the mainstream of domestic dramas.
Many dramas such as "Young Song Xing", "The Master", and "The Soul of Chess" have achieved considerable results, which is enough to show how popular this type of work is with the public.
And now "Fire" has been officially announced and will soon be unveiled. The trailer alone has whetted the audience's appetite.
The cast is too strong.
Qing Yi Jiang Xin got the villain script and will play the role of Xinyue Kui in the play.
's "blackened" makeup really makes people dream back to "Xia Zixun" in "A Thousand Bones of Flowers". I believe Jiang Xin can create a classic character again this time.
As for the role of "King Zhou" in the animation, he was adapted into "King Xin" in the drama version and was given to Peter Ho to perform. However, his armor with chicken feathers is a bit embarrassing. I hope he can perform this role in the feature film. The majesty of a human race leader.
However, the above two actors are not the most eye-catching presence in the play.
When I saw Ma Su playing the role of Ren Jialun’s mother, I realized how hard-core the casting of this drama was!
01
Playing mother and son 9 years apart
It’s been a long time since I saw Ren Jialun’s new work! And this time he will play the leading actor Wu Geng in the new drama.
Actually, I wasn’t worried about Ren Jialun’s costume look at first, but after seeing the trailer, I felt quite chilled.
We don’t know why Ren Jialun’s “Chinese-character face” becomes more and more distorted. It’s probably because he’s getting older and inevitably encounters the problem of cheek hair.
He has lost a lot of weight and is obviously out of shape. His face has a strange shape, his skin is sagging, and even his facial features are not as straight as before.
I have to say that Ren Jialun does not have the temperament of a human prince at all in the play. Even when he is wearing gorgeous clothes, he has a rustic taste.
Unexpectedly, only three months have passed in 2024, and another strong man has been added to the camp of ugly men in ancient costumes.
But the most surprising thing is not Ren Jialun who has become ugly, but Ma Su who plays the hero's mother.
You must know that Ma Su is only 43 years old, which is only 9 years older than Ren Jialun.
This age difference is placed in a domestic idol drama, and the director arranges to form a "sister-brother love" CP in minutes.
But in this new drama, Ma Su has become Ren Jialun's biological mother, and the Xinyue Fox she plays is "Daji" in the original work.
To be honest, fortunately the screenwriter changed this setting, otherwise Ma Su's image as Daji would probably be ridiculed and become a hot search topic.
But if it were just for the male lead as a mother, then Ma Su could still handle the role easily.
After all, she has been a member of the Mesozoic Era for a long time, and her face is full of traces of time.
The camera of this drama is not merciful at all, and there are almost no filters. When filming Ma Su with a face, you can see the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes and the dark circles under her eyes, which really makes her look "mom-like".
No, watch out for the moon fox falling from the sky to defend her son from the enemy's attack. It's exactly like the sight of an old mother protecting her cub.
However, the premise is to ignore Ren Jialun's face.
I almost got goosebumps in front of the screen when I saw him calling Ma Su "mother" and calling himself "boy".
They are mother and son in the movie. Outside the movie, Ren Jialun probably calls Ma Su "sister" every day. Do the two of them really not laugh when they are filming?
It is also difficult for Ma Su to be willing to sacrifice himself for the role. He is not very young, but he has already started to play the role of a mother.
Although this can be regarded as the basic operation of an actor and nothing to make a fuss about, there are too few middle-aged actresses who can really achieve Ma Su's level.
Some people start playing mothers when they are just over 40 years old, while some people are still very girly at this age, licking their big faces to act in emotional scenes with young girls. If there is no comparison, there will be no harm!

Actors should not act young, the audience cannot afford to hurt them
For most middle-aged actresses, "age" is a forbidden word, and they are even less willing to accept the fact that they have begun to age.
is like Jinsha.
At the age of 41, she actually found a boyfriend who was 19 years younger than her. The two of them went on a variety show to show their affection, but they failed to get the blessings of the audience and were even ridiculed as "old cows eat young grass", which was embarrassing.
And it can be seen that Jin Sha is still very concerned about her age. On the show, she mentioned that a director once asked her to play Xiao Zhan's mother, and her tone was quite dissatisfied.
But with her age and appearance, if she doesn’t play Xiao Zhan’s mother, can she still play her girlfriend? Stop dreaming.
Also, Chen Shu.
In the hit drama "Above the River", Chen Shu's face gave the audience a lot of visual impact.
My previously delicate facial features began to deform, and the skin on my face became more and more swollen, as if I had eaten yeast-made steamed buns. I must have been using technology to become more beautiful in private.
It’s just that the effect is too overwhelming, from a celebrity face to an “Internet celebrity face”.
And despite this image, Chen Shu can actually perform emotional dramas with Gao Weiguang, who is 6 years younger than him. The way the two people hugged each other in the
behind-the-scenes video looked more like a scene of a loving mother and a filial son.
Not only that, Jiang Wenli is also a well-known figure in the "pretend world".
At the age of 56, you can play the hero’s grandmother in other dramas, right? In "Love Around the Corner", she turned into a single mother and had a romantic story with Ming Dao, who was 13 years younger.
Just watch the current TV series, and you won’t say a word after watching them.
Audiences can often see middle-aged actresses complaining that the current market does not give them filming opportunities.
But in fact, they also have a lot of roles to choose from, but they are just unwilling to accept that they have changed from heroines to "mother-like" supporting roles, and they have missed out on many good roles and good scripts. Who can blame this? ?

Conclusion
Middle-aged actresses should learn from Ma Su!
htmlAt the age of 40, she did not choose to use technology to maintain her beauty.can see from her appearance in the trailer of the new drama that she still chose to age naturally. The flaws on her face are clearly visible, but she looks more natural and pleasing to the eye.
Moreover, Ma Su is willing to let go of the baggage of being an idol and even play the role of Ren Jialun’s mother, directly upgrading her seniority. This alone makes many middle-aged actresses who pretend to be young blush, right?
There are no big or small roles, the one that suits you is the best.
Instead of picking and choosing and ending up in a bad movie, it is better to choose a script that is suitable for your age like Ma Su, let your acting skills speak for yourself, and always win the approval of the audience.
And now the "Fire of Fire" is about to appear. What other surprises does Ma Su have in the drama? Let’s wait and see!
So do you think Ma Su’s casting as Ren Jialun’s mother is reasonable?
