Zhao Liying won the Hundred Flowers Award for Best Supporting Actress, which once again sounded the alarm for the 85 flower actresses. If
is not transformed, it will be too late.
However, judging from the current works and status of several 85 star celebrities, the one who can still gain a foothold in the costume drama market is Liu Shishi .
The success of "One Thought of Guanshan" makes Liu Shishi full of confidence. The costume dramas to be broadcast include "Palm", "Fox Demon Matchmaker: Bamboo Industry", etc.
And Tang Yan is nothing but a blockbuster. Previously, she was criticized for mostly portraying girls-oriented images, but with the movie " Blossoms ", she successfully turned around and jumped into the ranks of the powerful. .
For Tang Yan, whether she wants to transform or not depends on whether she is willing to transform. As long as she wants to transform, it is indeed not a problem.
Zhao Liying is the one who has made the most successful transformation among the 85 flowers. She has continued to work on small and big screens, and is good at period dramas, entrepreneurial dramas, and suspense dramas.
There are many major dramas to be aired soon, and she has even filmed a few big-screen movies. Zhao Liying, who has the fastest pace of transformation, has already become an actress.
Only Yang Mi is still standing still, and has even begun to regress.
Yang Mi also seemed to realize that he would be eliminated if he did not transform, so he decided to step out of his comfort zone and challenge works he had never tried before.
1, a legendary drama about women, great points for the strong creator
"Birth of All Things" is a drama set in the countryside. It tells the legendary life of Ning Xiuxiu (played by Yang Mi), the daughter of the richest man in Tianniu Village.
The story begins on the day Ning Xiuxiu got married. She was kidnapped by bandits, but because her father was reluctant to sell her land to redeem her, he directly married her sister to Ning Xiuxiu's childhood sweetheart.
In that era, Ning Xiuxiu was kidnapped by bandits, and her reputation was ruined. In addition, her father ignored her and would rather keep the money than save her, which broke Ning Xiuxiu's heart.
So she decisively severed the relationship with her father and married Feng Dajia, a farmer.
Although from the perspective of family conditions, Ning Xiuxiu is married off, she has struggled to make a living in the mud.
After marrying into the Feng family, Ning Xiuxiu learned to do farm work, and gradually understood the significance of land to farmers. During this period, she was inspired by the revolutionary thoughts of Du Chunlin and others, and used the knowledge she learned to Help your neighbors.
In that era when everyone was conservative, one can imagine how difficult the living situation of women was, so Ning Xiuxiu led the women in the village to get rid of the shackles of feudal ideas.
Because she caught up with the Anti-Japanese War, she also worked with her fellow villagers to eliminate banditry, fight against invaders and support the army. During the two decades of hardship and legend, she fully realized her self-worth.
At the same time, after experiencing all kinds of things, Ning Xiuxiu finally reached a reconciliation with her father.
Obviously, the idea conveyed by the drama "All Things" is that women can hold up half of the sky. Especially in that era, if you want to break free like Ning Xiuxiu, you can still not be trapped by feudal ideas. You can imagine how difficult it is.
Because of this, Ning Xiuxiu’s story is even more legendary.
Although this type of drama is not uncommon in the Chinese drama market, it is not easy to shoot. Fortunately, the creative team of "All Things" is very strong.
Director Liu Jiacheng once directed the " Iron Teeth Bronze Teeth Ji Xiaolan " series, and period dramas such as "情满四合院", "正门阳下" and "正门阳下小女" were also produced by him .
It is no exaggeration to say that no one is better at shooting this type of work than Liu Jiacheng.
Having such a director at the helm is undoubtedly a reassurance for everyone. Such a strong team has indeed raised my expectations for this drama.
The only thing that worries me is the heroine of this drama.
2, Yang Mi completely broke his image, success or failure lies in this one fell swoop
For Yang Mi, 2024 is simply the year when his career suffered a waterloo.
Firstly, "Harbin 1944", which the audience had been waiting for for a long time, immediately jumped on the big screen after it was released. Then " Nothing Can't Be Solved by a Hotpot " was launched on the big screen, but it was canceled midway. .
I thought that Yang Mi would be able to make a good comeback with "Fox Fairy Matchmaker·Yuehong Chapter" when she returned to her ancient puppet territory, but in the end, she pounced even harder.
It’s okay to be ridiculed for her acting skills, and her condition has also declined seriously. The girlish feeling she once had has turned into the aunty feeling she has now. She obviously can’t stand it anymore when she plays the heroine of a fairy tale drama again.
For Yang Mi, an 85-year-old top star, she is in urgent need of transformation.
Especially now that Liu Shishi, Tang Yan, Zhao Liying and other 85-flower actresses have successfully transformed, Yang Mi is the only one who has not found a way out for herself.
For Yang Mi, this drama "Life of All Things" is the key to success. Whether it can reverse the reputation depends on this drama.
is a success. Not only is Yang Mi firmly in the top tier, there will be more high-quality scripts for her to choose from, including the work itself, which can also become a hit through her popularity.
On the contrary, if it fails, Yang Mi will become the laughing stock of 85 Flowers. Even if there is a chance of transformation in the future, he will be nailed to the pillar of shame in the past two years, and a good work like "Birth of All Things" will also be ruined. In her hands.
Therefore, success or failure depends on this.
However, after watching the trailer, I can already feel Yang Mi's determination to transform.
is first of all a breakthrough in image. He has messy bangs, wears a cloth gown, and abandons delicate makeup to portray the character purely without makeup.
Even in many shots, Yang Mi's skin is dark and yellow, and she really looks like a farmer who has done too much farm work and is exposed to the wind and sun every day.
will not make clothes into slim-fitting styles just to show off your figure.
Secondly, in the trailer, the several scenes in which Yang Mi appeared were very emotional and well-acted. In the scene where she breaks up with her family, you can feel her determination, and in the scene where she looks back in tears, you can feel her commitment to her fate. have no choice.
And when she was married to Feng Dajia, Yang Mi was sitting in a sedan chair with her hands tightly clenched together and her legs tightly together, accurately conveying her nervousness.
hopes that Yang Mi’s determination can be directly proportional to her acting skills, so that everyone can truly see her transformation.
Conclusion
In addition to Yang Mi, the cast of this drama is still very strong.
Ouhao , who plays the male lead in the play, although his appearance is much handsomer than that of a banker, his carefree and straightforward personality is very down-to-earth.
The roles that account for a large proportion of the scenes are also played by top actors like Ni Dahong, Qin Hailu, as well as Chi Peng, Lin Yongjian, Lan Yingying, Zhao Da, etc.
It is not difficult to see that the overall configuration of "Life of All Things" is not bad. It depends on whether Yang Mi can win this round well.
Are you optimistic about Yang Mi?
