The drama series "The Movie Queen" directed by Yan Yiwen, the director of "The Story of a Common Girl," and starring famous Taiwanese actors Hsieh Ying-hsuan, Yang Jinhua and others, was recently launched on the Netflix platform, triggering Taiwanese viewers to follow the drama and mainland netizens to discuss it. The play seems to be a "real record of life in the entertainment industry" full of dramatic scenes. There are also scenes in the play where newcomers are bullied and actors compete for opportunities, but it is more about describing the group portraits of women in the acting profession.

"The Movie Queen" tells the story of female star Xue Yazhi played by Xie Yingxuan and Zhou Fan played by Yang Jinhua, who are best friends and competitors who debuted at the same time. For a long time, the two have relied on each other, until a wedding, a pair of best friends turned into rivals, and some media continued to dig into the secrets of the two... Director Yan Yiwen said that the source of this story came from herself, "Winning an award Then more anxiety and insecurity in the workplace is where the story begins.” There are also characters of different ages and personalities in the play, including middle-aged actors who are anxious about their age and appearance, elderly actors who insist on staying on the front line, and single mothers who film to pay off debts and raise their daughters. Multiple lines are intertwined to present the lives and emotions of the actresses. and career dilemmas.

In October, "The Queen" appeared in the "on screen" section of the Busan International Film Festival and held its premiere. The show currently has a rating of 7.8 on Douban.com. Taiwan media noticed that some mainland netizens praised "The Movie Queen" for breaking the "Taiwanese drama ceiling" and looked forward to filming the second season. On the island, the show topped the Internet rankings in just one day. Taiwan's "Business Weekly" summarized the five highlights of "Queen of the Movies", the most eye-catching of which is the "super lineup": the heroine has Taiwan's double "Queen of the Movies" Hsieh Ying-hsuan , as well as the "Golden Bell Award" that she just won ” Starring Yang Jinhua who won the Supporting Actress Award. Two Mesozoic actresses from the island performed on the same stage, "expecting the audience's expectations." There are also powerful actors such as Xue Shiling and Yang Guimei . "It can be said that after " Hua Deng Chu Shan ", the film and drama works of most of Taiwan's entertainment industry have once again been assembled." In terms of plot, "The Movie Queen" is based on the life records of Taiwan's entertainment industry, revealing the behind-the-scenes secrets behind the glamor of actors, as well as the issues that movie queens face as actresses and women, such as family, love, friendship, self-worth, etc. The test of life.

Lianhe News Network said that in addition to the performance, the character setting of "The Movie Queen" and the core lines representing the character are also worth savoring. Even if the audience is not in the entertainment industry, they can find some resonance. The article listed several golden sentences, such as "When I can no longer secrete adrenaline, it is equivalent to announcing that I can only be a mediocre actor in the future", "You have to wait until you are a celebrity to have the right to cry" and so on. Lianhe News Network also mentioned that in addition to the outstanding acting skills of the main actors, Zhan Huaiyun, who played the role of "Fresh Meat Gangster", also became popular with this drama. Yan Yiwen called him Taiwan's "next Xu Guanghan ".

Although there are many delicate shooting techniques in "The Queen" that Taiwanese dramas are good at, there are also shortcomings and regrets. The negative comments focus on the character design: almost every female character in the play is assigned a stereotyped love story, and most of the love lines are not necessarily related to the main line.

In recent years, many Taiwanese dramas have focused on female themes. The high-scoring work " The Story of a Common Girl " focuses on the social situation of women and tells the story of a 39-year-old heroine who restarts the "second half" of her life; "Her and Her Her" presents the reality of sexual assault, workplace prejudice and other realities in a suspenseful shell Topic; "We Are Not Kind Enough" shows the plight of women by describing the entanglement of a pair of love rivals. An island drama reviewer said on the 11th that "The Movie Queen" is a group drama in which the story is told through the interaction of characters. Who is the leading heroine is not the most important. Although from time to time I see comments from netizens saying, "This drama has him, why does that drama also have him?" - This reflects the fact that actors appear repeatedly in Taiwanese dramas. "However, this is nothing more than a challenge for actors to challenge and strive for various acting skills." A great opportunity for a breakthrough.”
