The recent drama market is flooded with a lot of ancient puppet dramas, but there are not many excellent works in urban entrepreneurial dramas. "Red Heat", a collaboration between Huang Xiaoming and Wang Ou, effectively fills this gap.
is different from ordinary silly urban dramas. This drama is set in 2008 and tells the story of the struggle of the trendsetters in the business world. The drama is also like its title, with a kind of passionate vitality that makes many The audience unconsciously developed a strong interest in watching the drama.
From another perspective, "Red Heat" can also be seen as an expanded version of the work "China Partners" starring Huang Xiaoming. Although the protagonists are involved in different fields, it essentially tells the entrepreneurial story of a top student starting from scratch.
However, in addition to being praised for its entrepreneurship and business war scenes, "Red Heat" has received a lot of bad reviews because of the young male and female protagonists. Many netizens said: Stop "pretending to be young and young" to Huohuo dramas. Got it!
But as she enters middle age, she has changed a lot, and the collagen on her face is no longer enough. She can play a domineering female elite in the workplace, but she cannot play a little girl after all.
The crew of "Red Heat" also put a lot of effort into making her look more girly. For example, they arranged a trendy light blue-purple eyeshadow for her and covered it with fluffy curly hair. Her sunken face made her face more rounded.
But even so, she still gives people the feeling of a "middle-aged woman pretending to be a girl". Especially in the play, when she faces Huang Xiaoming's youthful smile, people can't feel any vitality, and can only feel deep awkwardness. feel.
However, although Wang Ou's performance is not suitable for her age, her character in the play is a glasses salesperson and a social person, so the deviation in image is not too far, but Huang Xiaoming is even more outrageous. He directly played a college student.
Huang Xiaoming once had a very handsome and young moment. When he starred in "Love is Not a Game" at the age of 20, he perfectly fit many people's impression of a "young talent" and an aloof school boy. His facial features did not have any unnecessary wrinkles or edges. Clear, complexion as white as jade.
But after the age of 30, he also ushered in a cliff-like collapse in appearance. In the work "Langya Bang 2", his face became pitted and there were traces of time, which also led to his handsomeness. A lot has been lost.
When he played a college student this time, he played a dull and smart science and engineering master. However, many netizens felt that Huang Xiaoming played a student just for the sake of playing a student. His acting skills were actually an exaggerated expression of his imagination of middle school students, but this This kind of expression is overly stereotyped and routine, and also refers to some of his previous characters. For example, the high-spirited youth in "The Chinese Partner" he once played is a concentrated expression of this kind of youth character.
In addition to the problems with acting, the problems with appearance should not be underestimated. As time goes by, Huang Xiaoming's face is covered with many wrinkles, and his face has gained a lot of weight, even if he changes into a simple school uniform. The jacket has a youthful feel, and the bangs are deliberately left thick to add to the student atmosphere, but it also cannot conceal the sense of disharmony.
In fact, real male college students rarely have such thick bangs, which is not easy to manage and looks very unconventional.
There is a scene in the play where he was tricked by Huang Linxi, the heroine played by Wang Ou, into buying contact lenses. As a result, he became inflamed and allergic due to a problem with the glasses. He was very angry and asked Huang Linxi to argue, and also used many young people. The little expressions that talented people have, such as pouting and cute three-piece suits, failed to forcefully pretend to be young, which made the audience say that it was embarrassing.
In fact, most of today's celebrities are relatively sober, and they will view their own age correctly and will not continue to pretend to be young after they reach middle age. However, it is inevitable that some actors will have problems due to insufficient self-understanding and other reasons. I hope they let the audience go as far as the characters go.
