"Sauvignon Blanc 2" has been released for a long time, and it is finally about to unveil its mystery and meet the audience.
Some time ago, the drama team held a "Goose Opera Party Red Carpet". The four male protagonists appeared together. In addition to satisfying the fans' long-awaited expectations, it also caused a lot of controversy again:
For example, whether Deng Wei pays attention to his figure. Management, has actually become "aunty"?
Wang Hongyi’s emotional intelligence is too low? Prevent Zhang Wanyi from helping Yang Zi's human form to set up a sign?
In fact, as a hit work in last summer's summer season, drama fans have really been looking forward to "Sauvignon Blanc 2" for a long time. It is inevitable to be excited to finally see it with everyone this time.
But after all, a year has passed, and it is still unknown whether the popularity can continue. And what is the development of the four male actors who have collectively risen to the top through this drama?
1. Zhang Wanyi: Is a young drama student completely in love with ancient puppets?
Zhang Wanyi, who was once praised by Yang Zi as the "male number one", has been overshadowed by the other two due to the poor character design of her character Xuan Xuan.
But after coming out of the main drama, he doesn't seem to care much about this. Every time he appears with several other male actors, he will not show off or grab attention.
In fact, apart from "Sauvignon Blanc", Zhang Wanyi, who has been highly praised by the industry, does not lack resources, but lacks popularity.
As a "90-year-old", he debuted eight years ago. Before "Sauvignon Blanc", he had produced many acclaimed and popular works such as "The Age of Awakening" and "Children of the Qiao Family".
However, he has always been in the embarrassing situation of not being popular in dramas. When being interviewed, he also said helplessly: He does not exclude traffic, because traffic allows him to have more choices when accepting dramas.
So, after filming "Extraordinary Doctor" and "Brave Wings", he took over the filming of the big S-class ancient idol "Sauvignon Blanc".
However, in the TV drama market where there is also a chain of contempt, Zhang Wanyi has transformed from a "serious drama niche" into ancient puppet dramas. It is inevitable that Zhang Wanyi is also burdened with the negative reputation of "degrading his stature".
But fortunately after this drama, he took on the CCTV drama "Glory of Our Fathers" without stopping.
It can be said that the second half of last year was Zhang Wanyi's breakout stage:
In addition to becoming popular with the role of "Xiaoxuan", he has successively released three movies: "Glory of Our Fathers", "Extraordinary Doctor" and "I Know" I love you". In terms of
genres, from poverty alleviation themes to medical dramas to fashion romance dramas, it can be said that there are no restrictions at all.
Especially in the last one, because of his role as a "male mistress", plus his previous roles such as his master who fell in love with him in "Children of the Qiao Family" and his sister who fell in love with him in "Saurus Love", He was also on the hot search for his "irregular" image several times.
In terms of acting, although there are some opinions that it is stiff and will fail without the ancient puppet filter, but overall, Zhang Wanyi is taking steps step by step after being promoted to a celebrity, and is completing the upgrade of his acting career in a planned way.
At present, his main focus is still ancient puppets. Last year, he filmed "Splendid Peace" with Ren Min and "The Story of the Willow Boat" with Wang Churan.
and currently filming "Like a Brocade" with Jing Tian.
Although several dramas are about romance in ancient costumes, the characters played include humble concubines, arrogant princes, and sinister princes who are outside the rules of the world...
In short, they are different from "Xiao Xuan", but the appearance But they are exactly the same, so the challenges for actors are not small.
And can Zhang Wanyi break into the forefront with these ancient puppets? We have to wait and see, now it can be regarded as "everything is ready, all we need is the east wind".
In addition to his work in film and television dramas, his business resources have also skyrocketed after "Sauvignon Blanc". This year, he has added the title of brand ambassador for jewelry and men's skin care.
In addition to the fresh, cetaphil, luckincoffee, imperial banquet and other businesses obtained last year, it can be considered a small gain.
But it can be seen that Zhang Wanyi has a low-key personality and is the type to disappear without filming. Therefore, he has not participated in the recording of many variety shows. Except when promoting his works, he hardly has much sense of presence.
2. Deng Wei: Why are young people in Qinglang becoming more and more “aunty-like”?
The second male lead, Deng Wei, who reaped the bonus of "Sauvignon Blanc", has attracted countless fans because of his handsome appearance, tall figure, and wearing ancient clothes, he looks like a handsome young man walking out of a painting.
The Qingqiu prince Tu Shanjing he plays in the play is the official concubine of the heroine Xiaoyao. His character is gentle, affectionate, and except for one shortcoming of indecisiveness, he is almost perfect.
During the period when his works were popular, Deng Wei took the lead in acquiring a lot of fashion resources and appeared on the covers of two fashion magazines, "Figaro Homme" and "Demeanor".
Because he is a trendy guy in private, his fashion expression is also remarkable.
, especially the first cover, sold over 10 million copies in just 12 hours, which shows that its popularity is really overwhelming.
Some people have even calculated that his sales volume is second only to "top-tier" Wang Yibo and Xiao Zhan in the magazine's physical sales rankings.
Before this, Deng Wei was almost considered an amateur in the entertainment industry. Like Zhang Wanyi, he was even ridiculed by the outside world for being a "common man".
He graduated from the Department of Dance and Drama of China National Opera and only made his debut in 2020. He has previously acted in dramas such as "Encountering the Dragon" and "Chong Purple", but has never played a leading role.
was the only one that made a big splash, probably because it was on the hot search list with the tag of "small brand making big plays".
In September 2022, some fans were waiting for Deng Wei in an orderly manner at the elevator entrance of an airport. When everyone saw him appearing, they started taking pictures, but unexpectedly, a staff member who was traveling with him impatiently asked: "Is it okay? Is it okay? "Really?"
Not only that, she also directly reached out to block the fans' mobile phones, and even closed the door as soon as she got on the elevator, looking disgusted.
After the incident came to a head, the staff member responded that he was afraid that gatherings would not be good during special periods, thus affecting the order of the airport, and said he "apologizes to everyone."
In fact, Deng Wei did not do anything when this incident occurred, but the staff's mistakes inevitably led to ridicule on the entire Internet: It was really a "small name making a big show"!
Not only that, he also seemed to have had a conflict with Yu Zheng. At the end of the same year, one of his fans went to the other party's social platform to log in to Amway, but Yu Zheng angrily said: "I can't afford to serve a big name!"
This matter was later revealed, and it was suspected that When he was preparing to enter the industry in 2018, he may have tried "Li Ge Xing".
In short, after the incident fermented, Yu Zheng also replied: "Maybe I remembered it wrong, but people are never wrong."
Until Deng Wei became famous for "Sauvignon Blanc", this matter was inevitably revealed again, but fortunately he did it again. There was no similar controversy.
Yang Zi, who was in the same cast, also publicly praised: "He is a bit similar to Shi Qi, because he has a higher quotient..."
However, after successfully becoming a star, Deng Wei's acting career development seems a bit confusing:
In addition to having already entered the stage before, In addition to the costume drama "Yun Xiu Xing" that was filmed by the group, he joined the group of "A Tree in Sendai" in October last year and collaborated with Xiaohua Xiang Hanzhi. The drama has been successfully completed in February this year.
According to Reuters, his costume style is still very elegant, with a cool atmosphere, which is indeed very attractive.
But on the other hand, Deng Wei's acting skills as "Tu Shanjing" were also ridiculed by the crowd. Some people said that he had "facial paralysis", especially the scene in which "Xiao Yao was tortured and killed" aroused widespread discussion.
In terms of appearance, the handsome Deng Wei has repeatedly "showed timidity" due to immature facial management, and "collapsed" when he smiled.
It seems that business is not very active after becoming famous, and fans frequently ask: "What is Deng Wei doing?"
Until last month when he attended the Tencent Video Goose Opera Party, he was found to be suspected of gaining weight, and he also had some "aunt" "" meaning.
caused an angry passerby: "The fan should tell the truth and tell him to at least be more disciplined, instead of closing his eyes and shouting 'so handsome, so handsome'! In this state, which film studio is willing to hand over a script?"
3. Tan Kenci: Ambition Exuberant preparation "acting school"?
In addition to the above two, Tan Jianci of "Special Performance" was also very popular before he appeared in "Xiang Liu".
There were rumors at the time that he was the highest paid among the leading actors.
Tan Jian, who debuted as a boy band trainee, is good at singing and dancing. What’s even more rare is that he has never been satisfied with being an “idol”. After transforming into an actor, he took on the challenge of playing many outstanding roles, and he was always successful every time. Can be ordered.
For example, "Sima Zhao" in "The Alliance of Military Advisors Sima Yi" and Shen Yi in "The Illustrated Book of Hunting Crimes"...
Until "Sauvignon Blanc" became a hit, Tan Jianci suddenly broke through the circle and became a man with both strength and popularity. "quasi top-notch".
During the hit stage of the show, his commercial value soared. It was said that he ranked first among all male celebrities in September of the same year, and various business deals were compromised.
fans are also very enthusiastic, vowing to make their idols take an international route. During Tan Jianci's birthday, various large-screen displays have been in New York, London, Milan... It is really a big deal.
In terms of works, his resources are also coming one after another. "Sauvignon Blanc" was immediately followed by "Missing You Very Much". "Love Has Fireworks", a collaboration between
and Wang Churan, and "Sifangguan", a collaboration with Zhou Yiran, are also on the waiting list.
's new drama "Filter" has also been completed in April, and he appeared non-stop at the investment meeting of "Hunter 2".
In addition to TV dramas, Tan Jianci's big screen resources have also kept up. "The Lost You" starring "Little Flower" Zhang Jingyi, although the response was average due to restrictions on the subject matter, the global box office was nearly 30 million, which is also Very rare.
In this, we can see his ambition for acting - because in addition to ancient puppets and modern puppets, he has also been exposed to suspense, science fiction, diplomacy and other themes. It can be seen that his development path is "strength group", not "idol group" ".
In the upcoming "Sauvignon Blanc 2", although the "Xiang Liu" he played was eventually wiped out, he is the best male character in the hearts of fans of the drama.
's tragic character ending is bound to add fuel to Tan Jianci's popularity.
4. Wang Hongyi: Emotional intelligence is a flaw, where is the future?
In addition, Wang Hongyi, who plays Chishui Fenglong in the play, originally had a good hand.
His image of a "sunny and cheerful boy" is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and his handsome appearance has also attracted the attention of many fans. Although
does not have as many dividends as the above three, compared to other niche students, Wang Hongyi has a bright future, both in terms of resources and future direction.
But no one expected that the two recent activities would make him become a "low emotional intelligence" that everyone complained about overnight, and he was also stamped as "poor character".
After "Sauve Acacia", Wang Hongyi also received major IPs such as "Nian Wushuang" and "Fox Demon Matchmaker: King Power", with either Tang Yan, Cheng Yi, or Li Yitong.
Although none of the actors are male protagonists, this resource is still enviable.
Some time ago, "Jin Yong's Martial Arts World" in which he participated was aired, and it was precisely because of this drama that it fell into controversy.
When attending the "Goose Opera Party" with actress Huang Yi, he, who played Yang Kang, had no sympathy for her and was particularly indifferent to the woman who played Mu Nianci. Huang Yi held the umbrella alone and then took it back alone, which was slightly embarrassing. .
During this process, Wang Hongyi just nodded and had no intention of helping at all.
Moreover, the material the two were arranged to co-produce seems to be pornographic, which made netizens angrily criticize: "People are confused and have bad tempers!"
Some people also doubted: "Is it because "Sauvignon Blanc" is about to be broadcast, and he just wants to stir up with Yang Zi cp?”
Currently, Wang Hongyi’s upcoming works include “Fox Fairy Matchmaker: King Power”, “Seven Nights of Snow” and “Nian Wushuang”, and he is filming the costume drama “The Best Son-in-law” with Lu Yuxiao. .
Compared with the previous ones, he has followed the route of ancient puppets. However, after the "low emotional intelligence" incident, it is a bit uncertain where his acting career will go in the future.
