The entertainment industry has always been in a state of flux. If you are popular today, your reputation may be overturned tomorrow. Most artists who have aroused criticism from the entire network, such as Zhou Yutong and Huang Lei, It is true that there are some controversies regarding the on-screen character.

However, there is still a type of star who has good character, good performance, outstanding image and popularity, but still has a bad reputation.

Deng Chao is such a typical example.

During this period, Deng Chao's new movie was released, and he began to frequently attend various roadshows to try his best to promote the movie. Only this time, no matter how hard Deng Chao tried, the market response was mediocre.

What the audience likes is Deng Chao in variety shows and Deng Chao on the party stage. As for his old profession of actor, he has long been unable to attract the audience.

Middle-aged and haggard, Deng Chao also began to gain weight

Deng Chao, who was very active during this period, wore red hair and promoted everywhere. Obviously the audience's impression of Deng Chao is that he is a very handsome and upright handsome guy. Although he usually plays abstract, when he is serious, he still has good looks.

But now Deng Chao has a greasy feeling in middle age, his skin is dark, his face is swollen, his whole face is as fat as a steamed bun, and his forehead and cheeks have a tendency to develop horizontally.

The key is that Deng Chao is no longer young. His crow's feet have begun to explode, and it is difficult to hide the wrinkles when he smiles. The deep nasolabial folds reveal his true age. In close-ups, he no longer looks as tough and handsome as he did when he was young.

Mesozoic actors seem to be unable to escape the curse of being greasy in middle age. With Deng Chao's conditions, if he maintains his performance well, no matter how bad he is, he should still be like the uncles like Wang Yang and Liu Yijun.

But now Deng Chao’s image management is far behind.

However, at Deng Chao's stage, appearance is no longer enough to support his status in the entertainment industry. What he needs is actual performance and acting ability. But Deng Chao, who was willing to degenerate, spent a lot of time playing tricks. Compared to an actor, Deng Chao is actually more like a variety show star.

Works have a bad reputation, and it is difficult to tear off the variety show label.

Reality shows and variety shows are the most likely to consume the audience's aura. As Hao Lei said, actors need roles to stand between themselves and the audience. Only their own characteristics can be hidden. If it's good enough, the character will be more convincing. Once an actor has the attributes of a commodity and goes to live broadcasts to bring goods, or goes to variety shows to make quick money, the actor's sense of mystery will be exhausted.

Deng Chao, who often performs tricks in variety shows, has actually been acting frequently since the "Running Man" series became popular. The audience knows him too well and is familiar with him, so it is easier for them to dislike his serious acting.

Take the previous "China Ping Pong" as an example. The plot is good and the characters are also bright. However, the result of Deng Chao's hard acting is that the audience can see the "Super Brother" in the variety show through many casual glances.

The play only lasts for a moment, but it is enough to ruin Deng Chao's careful design and shaping of a character. Of course, situations like

also appear in Deng Chao's new movie. Although "The Winning Guaranteed" starring Deng Chao has not yet been officially released, the reputation gained during the premiere and screening period has basically determined the quality of the film.

If the current trend continues, the box office and reputation of "Win the Game" may not even be able to keep up with "China Ping Pong". And now Deng Chao's situation has once again proved how sharp and objective the words of Feng Xiaogang were.

Is it terrible to have poor acting skills? What is terrible is the decline in performance quality.

Well-known director Feng Xiaogang has previously named the impact of reality shows and variety shows on actors at a public event. He mentioned a very typical example Sun Honglei , saying bluntly, "For example, Sun Honglei , In fact, he is an actor with a lot of personality, and then (after recording the variety show) he comes back to act, which will have a great impact on the quality of the performance."

Looking back on Sun Honglei's acting career, all the works and roles that convinced the audience were actually launched before "Extreme Challenge".

He is full of wildness and has a distinctive acting personality, but he is used to being the king of beauty in variety shows, and Sun Honglei always has a naive feeling when he acts again. Especially in "The Storm", the way Sun Honglei squints his eyes and grins when acting always reminds people of Dasha from the Ultimate Three Idiots.

Like Sun Honglei, Huang Bo, Chen He, Zheng Kai and other male actors who often hang out in the variety show circle have all had their qualities as actors erased by variety shows, and they look particularly funny whenever they act.

After the popularity of "Extreme Challenge", Huang Lei, , Huang Bo, and Sun Honglei withdrew from variety show recordings. However, among these people, only Huang Bo has basically cut off variety show projects. Occasionally, he chooses competitive or warm and healing variety shows for his occasional variety shows. program to prevent comedy characters from being deeply rooted in people's hearts.

On the contrary, Sun Honglei and Huang Lei have not been idle after leaving "Extreme Challenge". Sun Honglei became the permanent resident of "Cute Detective", and Huang Lei, as the "big boss" of "Longing for Life", basically never fell behind in variety shows.

has been settling down for such a long time, and Huang Bo finally came up with a film "Walking Through the Angry Sea" to prove his acting ability.

Sun Honglei has yet to have a good drama on the line. Huang Lei starred in the "County Party Committee Courtyard", and the result was that the leader was played as a cook. The character of Huang Xiaochu is lingering. A frown makes people feel like he is shaking a spatula. déjà vu.

A situation like this has also happened to Deng Chao now. What the audience regrets is not that Deng Chao's current film and television dramas have a bad reputation, but that he was once a movie king-level actor.

"Sweet Honey" became a household name in the early days, and "Scorching Sun" and "Chinese Partner" on the screen are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. But now Deng Chao still has his acting skills, but the quality of his performance has changed. He is more experienced than ordinary actors, but he is also The performance was not convincing enough for the audience.

Deng Chao, who was placed in this position, was actually doomed to have a trough in his acting career. He worked hard to promote, and brought his wife and children to the battle. In fact, it is better to disappear for a while, quit variety shows, and quit exposure.

It’s a pity that Deng Chao is not young anymore. Variety shows have brought him great popularity, but they have also taken away his performance quality as an actor. Even if Deng Chao really wakes up in the future, his age will limit his space for playing roles.

Of course the audience wants to see Deng Chao perform as an actor, but now it seems that the audience hopes that Deng Chao can stay in the variety show industry and bring laughter to the audience.

In the chain of contempt within the entertainment industry, variety show stars are definitely at the bottom, and Deng Chao obviously also has acting ambitions, but the chain of contempt itself is not important. With past achievements, even if Deng Chao is a variety show star, he is still on the main table.
