The performance of domestic dramas this summer can only be described as "dismal".
The highly anticipated " Sauvignon Blanc 2" performed mediocrely, far less than the first season. The long-awaited ancient puppet showdown did not appear. As for other works with wonderful configurations, they all fell short. Even Zhang Yi and Zhang Songwen were unable to replicate the popularity of "Kurst".
Compared with the mediocre film and television dramas, in the past two years, the bloody plots and lineups have been criticized by the entire Internet.
's previous "Love Around the Corner" released the popular meme "That Girl Wenli", and the TV series "If Running Is My Life" released the famous line "I see you're really hungry."
There are many similar ridicules, and without exception they are all because the actor's fitness is too low. I thought that the successive overturns should have made many film and television parties realize the seriousness of the problem, but now it seems that the entertainment industry really has a kind of arrogance that does not care about the life and death of the audience.
Zhang Yishan 's new drama "The Skylark Calls the Sky" is a work that was overturned before it even went online.
Zhang Yishan's new drama features a sister-brother relationship, and the audience's sky is falling.
The TV series tells the story of the transformation of a newcomer in Jutan to a famous actor in the pear garden. The male protagonist played by Zhang Yishan comes from a poor family and has mediocre talent, but he stands firm in the cruel pear garden. , created his own legend.
From the perspective of the subject matter, "The Skylark Calls the Sky" is actually very innovative in terms of plot, and the audience is also very optimistic about Zhang Yishan, a very grainy actor, who can portray the story of an ordinary teenager turning against the wind.
But when the audience saw the lineup of this drama, they were blinded. The male protagonist is Zhang Yishan, but the female protagonist of this drama is Tan Zhuo, who is already 40 years old. If it's a teacher-student friendship, forget it, but in this drama, Tan Zhuo and Zhang Yishan will act as a couple.
One is a powerful actor with outstanding acting skills, and the other is a child star who the audience has grown up watching. These two obviously have outstanding results in their own fields, but they just happen to be together, which is kind of annoying. feeling.
In the final stills, Zhang Yishan is wearing a coarse linen suit and has a period-like pigtail, while beside him is Tan Zhuo with full bangs. The two of them are standing in the middle of the crowd, but they just zoom out, and he Both are like a mother and son.
Tan Zhuo, who is 8 years older than Zhang Yishan, has long entered the circle of Mesozoic actors. She has never been an actor who relies on her appearance and charm to attract attention. Her visual age is even older than her actual age. Big, the audience is also used to Tan Zhuo performing some mother-like images.
When these two people are put together, they say they are 8 years apart, but visually they are 16 years apart. Tan Zhuo cannot hide his age, and his obvious crow's feet and nasolabial folds all reveal his true age.
It’s hard to imagine how explosive the scene would be for such a pair to perform the drama of husband and wife in the drama.
The key point is that the entertainment industry likes to use the age gap to cause gimmicks, which has really caused a lot of harm to the audience.
Forcibly pretending to be young is too harsh. The audience really has no luck in enjoying
There are countless young and old couples in the entertainment industry.
In the TV series "Love Around the Corner", Jiang Wenli partners with Ming Dao. The two are 14 years apart, but in the drama they have a very close relationship. Jiang Wenli is very old-fashioned, and Ming Dao still maintains the idol line. , performing a sense of taboo on middle-aged love, but this "taboo" has no so-called sexual tension, only the psychological discomfort that makes the audience's skin crawl.
In the TV series " The Twenty-Eight Laws of Love ", 85 flower Yang Mi partnered with 1995 Xu Kai. Before the broadcast, I thought it was the love between a beautiful lady and a wolf-dog brother, but it turned out to be like an aunt-nephew love. , no matter how hard Yang Mi works on her makeup, she still has a strong sense of age, which makes her and Xu Kai feel like they are of a different generation.
In the TV series "Dragon City", Ma Yili also created a beautiful young woman. In this drama, she wears thick bangs and pretends to be young. The bohemian young woman in the original work is portrayed by Ma Yili as a kind of embarrassment in a middle-aged person who still refuses to accept old age. When she and Bai Yu are in the same frame, the two of them are They don't look like people of the same generation at all.
is not even suitable for Ma Yili's makeup, which makes her look sarcastic. However, Ma Yili's performance in " Blossoms " is even more eye-catching as she is also a very tense female character.
This also shows that actors can really shine only when they find a role that suits them.
Most actresses fail because they overestimate their abilities and create characters who are too young and lively. In
's "Long Time Love" released this year, Yang Zi plays the female protagonist in her student days, and she is in the same frame as the male protagonist Fan Chengcheng, which also has an eye-catching feeling.
Yang Mi in "Fox Fairy Matchmaker" is covered with a thick layer of filters, but she can still see her serious fatigue. The CP feeling of her partnering with Gong Jun is also incomprehensible.
The fact is that these works that require young girls to perform require a new generation of actors to portray them. As Hao Lei said, you should act at any age. If actors of the Mesozoic generation all rely on their qualifications and status to compete with young actors for the role of girls, then young actors will have no chance at all.
Currently, there is a serious "lack of talent" in the entertainment industry. Although 95 Flowers has produced several young talents, the resources they have taken over and the younger actors are in a situation where there are no good projects. In order to gain popularity, big IPs only dare to use actors with qualifications and celebrity status. Many teenage girls are contracted by actors aged 25-35.
It’s even worse to say that some actors over 40 are still dreaming about their teenage dreams and are reluctant to transform, so they look like a middle-aged woman and rely on post-processing filters to reduce the abruptness of their age.
Some actors enjoyed their performances, but it was the audience who was hurt. The entire film and television industry was affected by this, creating an obvious vicious circle. There are very few suitable roles that young actors can take on, and the current situation in the entertainment industry where there are no jobs is becoming more and more serious.
Through "The Skylark Calls the Sky", I once again realized that some actors should really give up the market, and some producers with capital should return the right to cast to the director.
Otherwise, future domestic dramas will only cause more troubles in character matching.
