Foreword

Looking at the new generation of traffic stars on the film and television screens, countless viewers have invariably missed the entertainment industry in the 1980s and 1990s.

Although the TV series and movies at that time were far less clear than today, did not have realistic special effects, and did not have exquisite and gorgeous costumes, the stars at that time were the real "handsome men and beautiful women."

Not to mention the beautiful female stars with their own characteristics, the looks of male stars such as Andy Lau, Louis Koo, and Jiao Enjun are enough to overpower today's mixed entertainment industry.

In that era, in addition to having a handsome appearance, you also needed superb acting skills, so that male stars could have a chance to stand out. However, looking back at various top stars in the entertainment industry today have neither acting skills nor abilities, and even just... Even the good-looking skin doesn't have .

But are these "common men" in the entertainment industry. However, under the publicity of the media and the brainless praise of fans, they have turned into "unparalleled beauties" without any blind spots. , so that now the film and television works have various A kind of "cow ghost and snake spirit" is running rampant. After

netizens had enough of these eye-catching tortures, they unanimously selected several male stars who are obviously very ordinary, but are praised by fans, and listed them as the most typical "ordinary male" stars in the entertainment industry.

So which male celebrities are on the list? Why are they not recognized by netizens?

Liu Yuning

The most popular male celebrity in recent times is probably Liu Yuning, who collaborates with Liu Shishi in the TV series "One Thought of Passing the Mountain".

Liu Yuning was originally an Internet celebrity who became popular through singing and live broadcasting. He accumulated a large number of fans on the short video platform and became a new darling in the entertainment industry. He starred in various protagonists as soon as he debuted.

To be honest, Liu Yuning is not ugly and can be considered handsome compared to ordinary people. However, both his appearance and temperament are in line with the aesthetics of modern women, but he has to star in a costume idol drama. , exposing one's own shortcomings at a glance .

First of all, 's ancient costume looks a bit eye-catching, and he doesn't have the "youthful look" that should be expected at this age at all. He originally had a handsome appearance with modern makeup, but after changing into ancient costume, his eyes are small, cheekbones are high, Defects such as facial features not being three-dimensional enough are all exposed in .

Furthermore, he has an obvious "hunchback" . He looks like he is hunching his neck when standing. He has no "beautiful man in ancient costume" temperament at all.

Originally, netizens were too lazy to ridicule him, but his fans were brainless and praised Liu Yuning's appearance in various places, and his acting skills even surpassed those of the new generation of male stars.

This behavior undoubtedly aroused dissatisfaction among netizens, who began to criticize Liu Yuning verbally and writtenly.

What netizens can't stand the most is Liu Yuning's behavior of slapping himself in the face. Before he appeared in ancient puppet dramas, he criticized today's ancient puppet dramas in a live broadcast, mocking those male stars for not having good looks. I also want to star in the ancient puppet show .

's speech was unanimously praised by his fans, who encouraged him to speak out. But after he appeared in the ancient puppet show for traffic and fame, the fans suddenly changed their faces and claimed that Liu Yuning was here to save the ancient puppet show. Li's behavior really made netizens angry.

Wang Hedi

Wang Hedi first made his debut, replacing Chen Feiyu in the second season of the popular TV series "Jiang Ye", but the response was mediocre. Even Wang Hedi himself was ridiculed by some netizens who had watched the TV series for having a "too long face".

The subsequent TV series that made him officially popular was "Meeting the Dragon" released in 2021, but the way he became popular was "black and red".

Because in "Meet the Dragon", Wang Hedi has a dull expression and stiff lines, acting like a wooden man or a robot , so he was singled out for ridicule by many video bloggers.

When "Canglan Jue" was released in 2022, his character became a hit with his makeup, but because the character was originally an expressionless and indifferent character, Wang Hedi's acting problems were largely covered up .

Until this year's TV series "Camp with Love", Wang Hedi's shortcomings in acting skills were vividly displayed, and his dialogue skills were so bad that if there were no subtitles, it would be impossible to understand what he was saying .

always has the same expression no matter what he acts. When showing emotions, he only winks and turns himself into big and small eyes. This is why fans praise him for his handsome growth and good acting skills.

It can be said that if it were placed in the entertainment industry in the 1980s and 1990s, Wang Hedi might not even have a chance to debut. It can only be said that modern female aesthetics made him successful.

Cheng Yi

With the popularity of the TV series "Lotus Tower", Cheng Yi has become a top male star of the new generation. No matter where he is, you can see fans praising his appearance and acting skills.

To be honest, Cheng Yi's acting skills are pretty good, but they are far from the level that fans tout, and his appearance is not even considered "peerless beauty".

Without the microdermabrasion filter used in the TV series, Cheng Yi’s appearance is really not outstanding. Among the male stars, there is no distinctiveness at all.

In particular, his biggest shortcoming is his figure. His upper body and lower body are evenly divided. Not to mention playing a peerless handsome man, he can't even compare with most ordinary people.

Wang Yibo

The most popular and controversial event on the Internet some time ago was Wang Yibo's nomination for the "Golden Rooster Award for Best Supporting Actor".

Obviously, his acting skills were surpassed by Tony Leung, and his performance was ridiculed by countless netizens. "Unknown", which was even made into memes, turned out to be Wang Yibo's masterpiece.

And the several movies he has starred in are basically fan-oriented works. Fans are crazy about them and passers-by can’t watch them.

Since his debut, the most criticized thing about Wang Yibo is his appearance that alternates between high and low.

In his early years, Wang Yibo, who had not yet appeared in film and television works, looked pretty good-looking, but once he appeared in movies and TV series, his long face and bloated flaws were clearly exposed.

For this reason, Wang Yibo also got the nickname "Fat Noodles Steamed Bun", which was used to mock his appearance.

Yi Yang Qianxi

An early "ordinary man" in the entertainment industry, Yi Yang Qianxi is quite famous.

After all, Yi Yang Qianxi is not even handsome under the filters and microdermabrasion, let alone the photos without beautification, which really makes it hard to tell that he is a top star.

If Yi Yang Qianxi develops into a professional actor, he may not be criticized so much, but his fans insist on advocating his good looks and even invented the term "scarce good looks" .

The so-called "rare appearance" means that Yi Yang Qianxi's appearance is considered rare in the star-studded entertainment industry, but this obviously has a serious fan filter.

After all, no matter in terms of appearance or temperament, Yi Yang Qianxi cannot afford the title of "beautiful man".

Conclusion

Through the unanimous selection of these "common men" in the entertainment industry by netizens, it is not difficult to see that these male stars should not have received so much criticism.

But the fault lies with their fans, who insist on touting them as extremely beautiful men. Passers-by and netizens will be caught and insulted if they find something wrong, and they will also say, "If you dislike someone's appearance, look at what you look like." look".

This common reply is really funny. These celebrities are actors by profession and should be scrutinized by the public. Regardless of whether the evaluation is good or bad, they should accept it.

Is it possible that they receive sky-high remuneration, perform film and television works that only fans like to watch, and passers-by find eye-catching, and yet they still insist on everyone praising and praising them without conscience?
