On June 21, 2024, Yang Mi published a paper titled "A Brief Discussion on the Creative Habits of Actors in Film and Television Dramas - Taking the TV Series "Harbin 1944" as an Example" in the academic journal "China Radio and Television Journal" ,arouse controversy. Is Yang Mi's writing so good? Can you all write a paper? Even if Yang Mi's writing style is good, why should "Harbin 1944" be used as an example? Is Yang Mi's performance in this TV series too bad?
It is worth noting that the academic papers published by Yang Mi do not belong to "c journal", but to "c expansion". "C Journal" is what we often call the core journal of CSSCI. It is an authority in the academic circle and emphasizes rigor and depth. "C Expansion" is a journal of China Radio and Television, which provides a stage for professionals in the film and television industry to communicate. It is a bit like a knowledge sharing conference in the industry. Relevant staff of the editorial department of "China Radio and Television Journal" stated that there are no editing fees, page fees or any other fees for publishing articles in this journal.
Therefore, Yang Mi’s academic paper is not particularly valuable, nor is it very difficult. Yang Mi does not need to use resources, use connections, mobilize relationships, and does not seize other people’s positions. As a top-tier actress, it is not easy for Yang Mi to complete such an academic paper in her busy work schedule. However, this has also caused many people to question whether Yang Mi has the ability to independently complete such an academically profound paper?
In response, Yang Mi's fans actively defended her, emphasizing her IQ and academic performance. Yang Mi is fully capable of completing such academic achievements. In addition, some fans use "Yang Mi's uncle is a professor at Tsinghua University" as a basis to prove that Yang Mi has a unique family background in academics. Yang Mi's anti-fans used Yang Mi's poor performance in "Harbin 1944" to counterattack, believing that Yang Mi was not worthy of writing a paper.
Non-famous entertainment critic Wu Qinggong pointed out: Yang Mi's paper is closely combined with her actual performance experience in "Harbin 1944". This drama is set in the Puppet Manchukuo on the eve of the victory of the Anti-Japanese War. The character Guan Xue played by Yang Mi in the drama is a cold and suspicious chief of the Secret Service. This character setting challenged her creative habits when creating characters, and also provided a wealth of first-hand material for her thesis.
In the paper, Yang Mi discussed the habits and skills of actors in shaping characters, especially how actors need to adjust their mentality and creative methods when dealing with characters with complex psychological and emotional changes. Through the analysis of the characters in "Harbin 1944", Yang Mi showed in her paper how she understood and integrated into the characters, and how she formed her own unique performance style during the creative process. In fact, this TV series is quite interesting, but it was criticized during the broadcast. Many of Yang Mi's animated pictures were maliciously enlarged, saying that her acting skills were not good, and her appearance had declined as she got older.
Yang Mi published an academic paper, whose fans were the ones who broke the defense? Maybe they are fans of Zhao Liying and Liu Yifei? The TV series "Walking with the Phoenix" starring Zhao Liying and "The Story of Rose" starring Liu Yifei were both aired this year. The three "85 Flowers" all handed over their TV drama transcripts this year, but only Yang Mi published an academic paper on "Harbin 1944", so fans of Liu Yifei and Zhao Liying couldn't sit still.
