The most popular costume drama this year is obviously Zhao Liying's new drama "Traveling with the Phoenix" which is currently on the air. Due to the attractiveness of the duo of Zhao Liying and Lin Gengxin, although "Traveling with the Phoenix" is not as popular as previous summer hits, it still supported the lineup of costume dramas in the first quarter.
However, the attraction of this drama is not just Zhao Liying and Lin Gengxin. The many supporting characters in the play also significantly enhance the quality of the entire play.
Shen Muyue played by Zeng Li, Mo Fang played by Xin Yunlai, and Fulong Jun played by He Yu are all important characters with outstanding personality and charm, especially Liu Yu played by Xuan Lu is really surprising.
33-year-old entered the senior group ahead of schedule, and Xuan Lu pretended to be a young actress.
33-year-old Xuan Lu is actually in her prime flowering period. At the same stage, 90-year-olds such as Yang Zi and Dilireba are currently popular, and they have plunged into various In idol dramas with themes, you can also come across some female-led dramas with mainstream themes from time to time.
However, 33-year-old Xuan Lu entered the senior group ahead of schedule and played Zhao Liying's mother in "Traveling with the Phoenix". In the play, Xuan Lu played Liu Yu, the mother of childhood Shen Li (played by Zhao Liying).
In the latest plot, the love between Liu Yu and Feng Lai reveals Shen Li's life experience. When the immortal and demon worlds were fighting, Liu Yu was in the period of giving birth. She sacrificed herself and entrusted Shen Li to the spiritual master to fight with the strongest The love story of Warcraft Feng Lai has also come to an end.
In the plot scenes, actor Xuan Lu's delicate acting skills, her firm choice in love, and her self-sacrifice in the battle between immortals and demons all show a tough female image. When playing the role of mother, 33-year-old Xuan Lu really performed the maternal aura that overflows with motherly love.
With a weak look on her face, she shed tears and said from a distance, "I hope she will not be shackles by her status in this life, unlike Feng Lai, not like me!" The image of a mother stood firm.
However, the audience believes that the "mother" image of Liu Yu's character is because of Xuan Lu's acting skills. Putting aside the persuasiveness of the acting skills, Xuan Lu in the picture does not have any traces of age and beauty on her face. Her state Outstanding, with delicate skin, and the way she sheds tears is so touching and pitiful.
If it weren't for the character setting and the storyline, it would be a bit reluctant for Xuan Lu to play a mother who died young at the age of 33.
But this also shows that Xuan Lu not only has outstanding acting skills, but also does not have the so-called age baggage of female stars. She resists the role of elders and even acts young to prove that she is still young.
You must know that the 90-year-olds who are on the same track as Xuan Lu are still acting in idol dramas. What's more, some are in their forties or fifties and can hardly conceal their old age, but they are still obsessed with acting young and are picky about roles. They would rather not I don’t want to play anyone’s mother or elder.
They deceive themselves and forcefully pretend to be young. These actresses are annoying.
Actor Chen Derong once said in an interview "I take good care of myself. If you ask me to play the mother of a big child, I will not be able to accept it until I die." . In Chen Derong's view, the role of mother seems to represent the label of old age and lack of charm.
Big S also resists the role of "mother".
In a previous variety show, Big S expressed her current performance dilemma. When talking about someone asking her to play Wang Dalu's mother, she bluntly said "They all asked me to play whose mother... ..so I don’t have any acting”.
Even in a popular variety show at the beginning of this year, Jin Sha also mentioned her age anxiety, saying that someone asked her to play Xiao Zhan's mother, and she couldn't accept it at all. After hearing this, Zhu Dan stood up and raised his hand to express "I can do it." .
The fact is that the above-mentioned actresses are no longer young, and it is time to portray the mothers of young actors based on their age and status.
But having said that, these actors cannot play xxx’s mother, and they will not force the audience to accept them acting in idol dramas.Many actresses who are more extreme are still in their own world, trying their best to pretend to be young.
Jiang Wenli in "Love Around the Corner" looks like a mother, but she is paired with Chen Daoming in a middle-aged idol drama. She has short hair and looks like a mother, but she frequently becomes a nymphomaniac to Chen Daoming because of "Love Around the Corner" "After the broadcast, the new name "Wenli that girl" became popular throughout the Internet.
Jiang Wenli's reputation as a national TV star was accumulated through her film and television dramas in the first half of her life, but she was completely ruined by this TV series.
There are many similar examples. Actor Liu Tao was once a potential stock with excellent acting skills. As a result, in "The Sea of Stars", the heroine started to act as a student. She wore a white shirt and two ponytails and began to pretend to be a student. However, the dead white idol drama filter could not hide the age look on Liu Tao's face. .
The most outrageous thing is the online flip-flop of some movie stars. Zhou Xun in "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace" was extremely exciting and eye-catching in the later stage, but in the early stage, he wore Death Barbie powder and pouted his lips to act cute and pretend to be a girl, which is really unbearable.
Zhang Ziyi, whose acting skills are also online and whose performance is outstanding, has reached the status of "International Chapter". As a result, "Shangyang Fu" immediately shocked everyone. In the TV series, Zhang Ziyi is always pouting and looking cute, and the collagen on her face is so thin that she is just skin and bones, and she is still trying to portray the coquettishness of a girl.
In the TV series "The Origin of Love", Carina Lau, who is over 50 years old, forced herself to act young, but she couldn't portray the bright and sexy character of Gu Manlu in a gorgeous dress. In the drama, she looked as old as a "Nun from the Qing Dynasty", with two pigtails and a serious look on her face. Singing "Jasmine" directly made the audience feel autistic.
Comparing Xuan Lu in "Traveling with the Phoenix", these actresses above have greater choice in choosing roles and IPs because of their popularity and reputation. Obviously they could refuse the role, and they could obviously suggest that the director find actors by age group, but they refused.
In movies and TV dramas, they often pretend to be young, relying solely on the teacher's post-processing of skin polishing and filters to deceive themselves and others. However, those post-processing methods cannot hide their age, but instead magnify the stiffness on their faces and smoothen their faces. sense of story.
's last work overturned, and its reputation collapsed. Not only did the film and television series fail to achieve the desired results, but the actors also gained a whole dark history, which was simply not worth the loss.
It is a pity that sober actresses like Xuan Lu are always in the minority in the entertainment industry, and they will always be labeled as girls. The majority are unwilling to give young people opportunities. Xuan Lu's sobriety in "Walking with the Phoenix" can be said to be a basin of cold water that awakened the dreams of many young actresses who pretended to be young actresses.
Finally, what do you think of the portrayal of Xuan Lu in "Traveling with the Phoenix"? Are there any other female stars in my memory who started playing roles like elders very early, or were there any female stars who pretended to be young and persuaded them to quit?
