"Which resource star is Bai Yufan who suddenly emerged?"
After watching the TV series "City Within a City", some netizens couldn't help but wonder.
Indeed, after seeing the lineup of "City Within a City", it's hard not to be suspicious.
1
"City Within the City" is a CCTV drama directed by Teng Huatao, starring actor Yu Hewei, the country's number one Xia Meng, powerful Wang Xiao, new actor Long Ni, actress Yang Zishan, veteran artist Chen Jin and other outstanding actors.
Looking at this lineup, I thought Yu Hewei was the male protagonist, but in fact Bai Yufan is the male protagonist.
is only 29 years old, and he has Teng Huatao’s CCTV drama in his hands. He is given the title of Best Actor, promoted as Best Actress, and supported by a group of high-quality actors. No one who watches it can say a word about the incredible resources.
This is not the most explosive thing. The most explosive thing is that Bai Yufan still has a high-quality drama to be broadcast - "National Treasure" which will be completed on January 29, 2024.
In this drama, Bai Yufan does it again, and a number of powerful veteran actors such as Xin Baiqing, Fu Dalong, and You Yongzhi provide supporting roles.
The Internet revealed that even the TV series "Happiness" adapted from Jia Pingwa's novel of the same name stars Bai Yufan's partner Yu Wenwen, and its director is Wang Wei, the director of "White Night" and "Life Is Like the First Meeting".
has a strong lineup, and big names from all walks of life are supporting him. How can people not question which way he is the prince?
Indeed, since Bai Yufan became famous with his role as Ma Debao in "Mountains and Seas", he has never stopped looking for resources.
is either filming famous director Wang Xiaoshuai's family suspense drama "The Mystery of the Octagonal Pavilion", or starring in the tribute drama "This Is Us", and also carrying the banner in "Under the City", with Ning Li, Zeng Li and Cao Zheng. Bit.
is not only successful in TV series and online series, but also has a good cast in movies.
partnered with newcomer Zhang Ruonan in "Lighting Store", Liu Yijun, Huang Chengcheng, and Liu Yan all gave way. The movie "Changsha Nightlife" starring in it and the tribute film "1921" in which she participated were both popular enough.
Web dramas, dramas, suspense dramas, main themes, Bai Yufan's team for each drama is beyond the reach of actors of his age.
Here comes the question, if he is not a resource guy, then why does he, who looks average and has average education, have such good resources?
2
Yes, why should he?
This is also what netizens are confused about.
I can only say that some people eat too much coarse chaff and cannot taste the fine chaff.
Some netizens complained that his acting skills in "Under the City" were the worst. He was not as good as Song Dianshi played by Ning Li, and even worse than Lu Zhi played by Yao Yao.
I have definitely watched this drama. Bai Yufan’s performance was quite average and nothing outstanding. The most outstanding ones were Ning Li and Yu Yao. The former performed "a cruel appearance but a kind heart" and the latter performed a "kind appearance but a cruel heart". It was interesting to watch. People enjoy themselves.
But there is one thing to say. The role of Qu Sangeng is not amazing, and I really can’t blame Bai Yufan, because the main point of the drama is not with him at all. Although
is the male protagonist, he does a thankless job. The whole drama focuses almost entirely on Ning Li and Yu Yao. He is more like a tool man.
is like An Xin in "Hurry Up". Can you say that Zhang Yi's acting skills are not good? But it is true that An Xin's role is not outstanding because the whole scene is Gao Qiqiang.
Even the protagonist's role in translation is not as good as that of Li Youtian, Li Hongwei, Xu Jiang, and Crazy Donkey, because there is nothing in him that the audience wants to see. The coolness of
, whether it is positive or negative, can attract people as long as it is cool and crazy enough.
Unfortunately, Qu Sangen, played by Bai Yufan, was not that good. He couldn't show off his acting skills and was not liked by the audience.
If we talk about acting skills alone, Bai Yufan is definitely fine. To say how good his acting skills are, it is difficult to describe in words.
Let's put it this way, among the new generation of young actors, there are two actors who have successfully "cheated" me. One is Jiang Qiming, the mute actor in "The Long Season", and the other is the actor Ma Debao in "Mountains and Seas" Bai Yufan.
When "The Long Season" was aired, looking at the mute who spoke fluent sign language and showed no signs of acting, I suspected that the director had actually hired a deaf-mute to perform. I even looked through the cast list to see who was playing the role. Only then did I know There is a good actor named Jiang Qiming in domestic entertainment.
When "Mountains and Seas" was aired, looking at Ma Debao, who was dark and skinny and spoke of northwest China, I once thought that he was a local resident that the director had found.
is so similar that there is no sense of inconsistency.
Of course, some people will say that Bai Yufan is originally from Xi'an, so he can play Ma Debao easily.
So, what about in "City Within a City"?
plays Bai Yufan, an elite white-collar worker, and left a deep impression on him in two scenes.
Scene 1: Encourage your girlfriend.
"City Within a City" opens with Tian Xiaohui (played by Xia Meng) meeting her boyfriend Tao Wuji (played by Bai Yufan) before going to the company for an interview. From running to meet, to sitting down to check the information, to hugging and leaving, the series of actions are quite natural.
The sweetness is just right, and the working-class temperament is accurately created. It is like watching a young couple who have just entered society after several years of campus love.
A barrage of "Are they a couple?" has already explained the acting skills of the two people.
Scene 2: Bank Flirting.
Tao Wuji has no hope of promotion and is still working at the counter. Tian Xiaohui successfully joins the company and applies for salary cards. They have not disclosed their relationship and flirted while doing business.
Tao Wuji pretends to be serious, but is very boring.
Tian Xiaohui seems to be proactive, but restrained.
The two of them were flirting through the glass, but they were so sweet that they couldn't help but drink CP.
Playing the role of a rural child, Bai Yufan showed a perfect blend of wildness and innocence.
plays the role of an urban white-collar worker, and Bai Yufan appears capable and energetic.
Isn’t this a reflection of acting skills?

Of course, you can question his acting skills, after all, it is difficult to agree with everyone, but you cannot question his mentality of wanting to be a good actor.
Whenever he creates a new character, Bai Yufan will devote himself wholeheartedly. For example, when he played Xu Xiaobo in "Those Young Times I Can't Go Back", in order to maintain his character, he deliberately acted serious on the set and did not even speak.
's 100% investment makes it feel like breaking up every time he steps out of a role. It takes a long time to digest it before he has the energy to prepare for the next role.
Hao Lei said that a good actor should put himself into the state and mentality of the character. This is a professional actor.
According to this standard, Bai Yufan is indeed a good actor.
At least, he is calm and feels the character with all his heart.
This shows that he positions himself as an actor, not a star.
Therefore, compared with celebrities of the same age, he is more free-spirited and is not afraid of exposing his relationship to affect his career. He not only openly reveals his amateur girlfriend in the show.
was still photographed by the paparazzi with his girlfriend, and he responded generously with a post.
He doesn’t follow the niche path, but his path is relatively broader.
Because the current market environment in this industry is like this. There are many niche students and it is easy to debut but crowded. It is difficult to establish a strong position but the quality is high.
Any talent show can produce more than a dozen handsome guys. However, these handsome guys are all carved out of the same mold. Their hair length, head shape, dressing style, body shape and even skin color are the same, without any identification. .
can't even do his main job of singing and dancing, let alone acting.
Maybe they are tired of seeing these little talents, and the audience gradually turns their attention to the powerful ones, even if they are not so handsome, such as Wang Xiao, Aruna, and Jiang Qiming.
For them, acting has become the best filter.
Obviously, Bai Yufan also followed this path.
He is very lucky, because there are not many actors of his age who have taken this path. At the same time, he still has several years of military life. He once fought four days and three nights on the front line of flood control with his comrades, and his image is quite positive.
He has also been very successful and obtained high-quality resources.

has accurate positioning and a positive image. Some people say that Bai Yufan looks like Huang Xuan in domestic entertainment. Not only the path he chose is similar, but his experiences are also similar.
Huang Xuan is not a handsome guy and has no background, but he is appreciated and cooperated with famous directors in the industry such as Feng Xiaogang, Xu Anhua, Zhang Yang, Zheng Xiaolong, Lou Ye, Chen Kaige, etc.
Because he has enough life experience and is generous enough.
In 2007, Huang Xuan, who had just embarked on the career of acting, was either replaced or "cut off", so he missed "The City of Golden Armor", "Rizhao Chongqing", "The Night with the Spring Breeze", etc. Quality work.
He was depressed because of his lack of success in his career. His father's death, his grandparents' terminal cancer, his girlfriend's breakup and his falling out with his school teacher made him fall into despair.
Even so, he did not give up, but continued to endure until his own opportunity appeared.
Whenever an opportunity arose, he would attack quickly and devote himself wholeheartedly. In order to perform Bai Juyi's madness, he stood barefoot and bare-chested in the snow for forty-five minutes.
plays the piano and writes every day, just to find the feeling.
In order to find the feeling of Sui Dongfeng's character, he wore Sui Dongfeng's clothes until the last scene.
Every time I step out of the role, I need to rest for half a year to recover. As Bai Yufan said, it is like breaking up.
On the road to pursuing his dreams, Bai Yufan also suffered the same hardships as Huang Xuan.
At the age of 18, Bai Yufan, who was studying in the Performance Department of Nanjing University of the Arts, had no resources or background and could only work in various major production crews.
In the movie "Youth Class", he followed Sun Honglei as the younger brother.
plays a supporting role next to Wang Ji in the TV series "My name is Wang Gege".
worked as an extra in "White Moonlight" for ten days just because he liked Huang Jue.
These soy sauce characters did not have a single line. They were just an atmosphere group throughout the whole process. It was not until he chose to enlist in the army two years later that he briefly left the acting industry.
After he was discharged from the army, he was confused again and came to Beijing alone to make a living. He submitted resumes to the crew all day long for auditions but continued to work as a soy sauce or as an actor's assistant.
In order to make a living while waiting for the opportunity, he went to work for Liu Tianchi and held a video recorder for the proton team of "Fengshen". The person standing in the corner was him.
At that time, he had no acting opportunities and had to work part-time to make a living. Even if there were roles for him, they would only be the fifth male lead.
This kind of life lasted until 2019. This year, he only earned 3,000 yuan. He couldn't bear it anymore and chose to deliver food. However, he encountered the epidemic not long after delivery, and his life fell into mud again.
was depressed and frustrated, and even the activities at that time were full of sadness and confusion.
In despair, he made a decision - to work behind the scenes.
He found Feng Lei, the assistant director of "Children of the Qiao Family", hoping that the other party would take him in. Feng Lei, who was used to seeing this kind of young people, made him retreat:
Feng Lei's words may not be pleasing to the ear. But it was enough to touch the soul and let Bai Yufan know that he loves acting more.
After being determined on this path, he finally waited for spring.
In 2020, Noon Sunshine was preparing to film "Mountains and Seas". Bai Yufan won the role of Ma Debao based on his life experience and acting ability, and became famous in the first battle, and gradually achieved his current achievements.
If you know his experience along the way, you will not doubt that he is a resource person. It can only be said that he is very lucky to have met Feng Lei and "The Love of Mountains and Seas".
Otherwise, it can only become a hidden gem under the pressure of real life.
He does look like Huang Xuan, and it's a coincidence that his idol is Huang Xuan.
Perhaps, this is the tacit understanding between good actors.
Conclusion
Whether it is Huang Xuan or Bai Yufan, they all have a common trait - sobriety.
When actors of the same age are addicted to being fresh meat, they have already devoted themselves to their roles and will "act well" to the end.
When actors in the same age group were paid 2.08 million and still suffered miserably, they said that actors deserved this hardship.
Filmmaking is like growing a flower. Only when you invest more can it bloom beautifully.
Bai Yufan and Huang Xuan used their personal experience to prove that love can overcome all difficulties, and love can overcome all difficulties.
