's group drama "South to North" is about to come to an end, but since the show started airing, news about the female lead Jin Chen being crushed by the second female lead Jiang Yan has not stopped.
In fact, this is not the first time that Jin Chen has been "ignored" because of the performance of the second female lead.
In fact, there are not a few actresses like this in domestic entertainment, and now looking at these female artists who are easily "overpowered" by supporting roles, their current development seems to be less than stellar, and some have even become passers-by.
. In Jin Chen's "Nan Lai Bei Go" and "Wuxin Master"
"Nan Lai Bei Go", the female number one Ma Yan played by Jin Chen is a state-owned store clerk, very simple.
But compared to the charming railway announcer Yao Yuling played by Jiang Yan, Jin Chen was questioned by the outside world because of her suspected "plastic face": it did not match the sense of the times.
Although Yao Yuling's character is not good, she is a typical opportunist, but she is played particularly brilliantly by Jiang Yan - her every smile and every move seems to have the atmosphere of that era, giving people a Very grounded feeling.
But Jin Chen's performance looks a lot greener:
Her acting skills have always been somewhat controversial. In her early years, her performance in "Wuxin Master" and "The Adorable Concubine Arrives" was acceptable, because her fresh appearance was a bonus.
However, when filming "Wuxin Master", Jin Chen also had his appearance crushed by Chen Yao, the second female lead.
Especially Yue Qiluo, played by Chen Yao at that time, was very interesting, and she was more popular than the female lead Li Yueya in terms of personality and dress.
But after that, Chen Yao never played a better role. On the contrary, Jin Chen was still on the front line after several ups and downs.
However, in recent years, her face and love history have become the focus of public attention, causing her acting skills to seem unstable.
For example, she has produced the TV series "The Ordinary Road" and the movie "All or Nothing", which received good responses, but the evaluation of her acting skills is polarized.
Especially during the crying scene in the former, netizens' reaction was: "It's so hideous!"
And in "All or Nothing", which has a good reputation, Jin Chen's performance is very layered and really eye-catching.
I just didn't expect that in "South and North", she seemed to be unable to compare with the very popular Jiang Yan in terms of appearance and performance, which is a pity.
2. Wang Lejun "The Pretender"
The last actress who was crushed to a "desperate" supporting role was Wang Lejun in "The Pretender".
Even last year, she posted an article in response to why she was so "confused" in this hit drama. In addition to publicly shouting that Hu Ge crushed herself during the filming process, she also suspected that Song Yifa had a connotation through likes. Beautiful press release.
When "The Pretender" was filmed, Wang Lejun had already debuted for nearly ten years. It is reported that she acted in many spy war dramas in her early years, and was also called the "little princess of spy war dramas" in the industry.
Moreover, the director took a fancy to her gentle appearance and felt that she was very similar to the heroine of the play, Cheng Jinyun.
However, during the filming process, during a train carriage scene, the director team wiped it with oil in advance in order to make the chase scene more realistic. Unexpectedly, Hu Ge’s soles slipped during the filming and he fell heavily and hit Wang Lejun’s collarbone. on, causing her to be accidentally injured.
In desperation, the crew had no choice but to rewrite the script and reduce the role of the heroine Cheng Jinyun, and thus had to increase the role of Wang Manli played by Song Yi.
's final work showed that the heroine's role was not as good as that of the second female lead, which also resulted in Wang Lejun not receiving much dividends from this drama.
Not only that, she also suffered from online violence and was scolded miserably by netizens who did not know the truth. Therefore, during the broadcast of the work, Hu Ge also posted a message to support her.
However, Wang Lejun's development was indeed unsatisfactory after that. Although he also participated in hit dramas such as "The Hunting Ground" and "Dear, Beloved", his presence was not much.
But in September last year, she suddenly brought up the past on social platforms, saying that she continued to shoot despite being injured. She also bluntly said that her lack of self-cultivation has affected her life now.
Not only that, Wang Lejun also liked a fan's message, who said:
"I get angry when I think of Song Yi's pornographic press release."
But in fact, apart from not having many roles, her performance is indeed not outstanding.
Because in addition to Song Yi, Wang Ou, who plays the female villain, is also impressive. She is one of the representative images of the classic "femme fatale" on the screen.
3. Zhou Dongyu's "Eternal Jue Chen" and "Gong Suo Agarwood"
Zhou Dongyu, the real "Three Golden Movie Queen", has recently released works such as "Burning Winter", "Parrot Killing" and "Hot Search", which are beyond imagination. Big bang.
But before that, she had firmly held the label of "post-90s actress with outstanding acting skills" with "July and Ansheng" and "Young You". Although she is not popular among the public, she has excellent acting skills. group.
However, Zhou Dongyu also has inherent shortcomings - her thin body and baby face lead to a limited appearance, so she is easily overtaken by the second female lead during filming.
Even she herself once said bluntly in an interview that she could not play the role of a beautiful woman in ancient costume.
So as early as 2013, when Zhou Dongyu took the lead role in the costume movie "Palace Lock Agarwood", he was easily crushed by Zhao Liying, who was in the same cast.
Even Zhao Liying at that time was just a "little transparent" who was "black on the entire Internet".
In this work, the villain Liuli she plays is the most vicious existence:
first becomes good friends with the heroine Chen Xiang, played by Zhou Dongyu, and then immediately abandons the friendship and replaces it when faced with benefits.
Zhao Liying's performance is very eye-catching. From pretending to be weak and pitiful to completely black, her performance is very natural. Whether she is pretending to be kind or showing hatred in her eyes, she can easily handle it.
It can be said that Liuli’s character is more intense than the heroine, and this is why the audience will remember her deeply.
But the two actresses have developed very well in the later period. It can be said that they are shining in their respective fields, especially the "movie star" Zhou Dongyu, who has won numerous awards.
However, in 2021, she suddenly "descended" to star in the fairy tale "Eternal Jue Chen", which was not in her comfort zone.
The results were quite tragic. Not only was she easily crushed by the second female lead Zhang Jiani, who is famous for her "bewitching", but many other actresses such as Zhang Yaqin, Dai Si, Hanikezi, etc. were all more beautiful in their costumes than her.
Even in the scenes where she and the maid appear together, you can't tell who is the maid at all.
Especially in costume dramas, in addition to good looks, the actor's deportment is also very demanding, especially when playing an ancient god. But in Zhou Dongyu's case, he seems to be a young man ready to fight at any time.
Therefore, she encountered the first wave of career failure after becoming the "Three Golden Movie Queens".
And after that, she seemed to have entered a curse - even if she returned to the big screen, the results she obtained were not good.
4. Bai Lu's "Long Moon Ember" and "Love as Camp"
is very similar to Zhou Dongyu's situation. Bai Lu was also miserably suppressed by the second female lead one after another because of the challenge of starring in "Peerless Beauty".
Looking back now, in fact, Bailu's popularity is largely due to her "feminine" persona in variety shows - she smiles heartily and without any pretense.
and his successive appearances in "Swagger" and "The Weeknd" have received good responses, thus establishing his position as a "sub-top" in domestic entertainment.
But no one expected that next, Bailu's "Long Moon Ember" and "Love as Camp" both suffered "tragedies" that were overshadowed by others.
Bai Lu in "Long Moon Ember" is a real heroine, especially in the early scenes she overpowers Chen Duling.
But in terms of personality, one of them is a silly and sweet little clam princess, and the other is a proud and arrogant saint. In terms of temperament, they are indeed very different.
, especially Chen Duling's appearance in the play is indeed beautiful, and he is extremely bad, and there are many explosive scenes, so the characters are full-bodied and eye-catching in themselves.
What’s even more interesting is that before filming, the director was afraid that Chen Duling wouldn’t be able to portray the bad guy image, so she watched a lot of legal programs and even did a lot of psychological training.
In the end, she did succeed in capturing the essence of Ye Bingshang, and even became famous because of it, causing the popularity of the heroine Bai Lu to be suppressed.
In the fashion drama "Camping with Love" aired in September of the same year, Bai Lu played the role of Zheng Shuyi, a peerless beauty.
She was even more miserable in this drama, because not only was she "instantly killed" by Jiang Peiyao, who played her best friend, but the roles played by actresses such as Zeng Li, An Yuexi, Dong Xuan, etc. were also prettier and more fashionable than the heroine.
In addition to being ridiculed for its costumes, the plot of the play was also speechless, which led to the official media criticizing:
"For the sake of a certain sweetness, a certain kind of bitterness is forced, but in the end it is a routine!"
Even worse Bailu's acting skills are also full of embarrassment and controversy. Netizens commented:
"Every scene she plays is like the first scene. You can't tell what this character has gone through and what kind of precipitation she has had... …"
5. Yuan Shanshan in "The Palace Lock Bead Curtain" and "The Swordsman"
The same situation happened to Yuan Shanshan - she was once highly praised by Yu Zheng. In 2012, she succeeded Yang Mi and starred in "The Palace Lock Heart Jade" The companion piece of "Palace Lock Bead Curtain".
But unfortunately, this drama has gathered Shu Chang, Zhang Jiani, Yang Rong, Zhao Liying and many other actresses who need acting skills and good looks.
At that time, many viewers made funny comments:
"No matter which actress he stands next to, the protagonist is instantly transformed into a little maid."
In the same year, Yuan Shanshan appeared again in "Beauty Without Tears", playing the role of Tranquility Zeng The interpretation of "Da Yu'er" was also criticized.
Moreover, there are actresses such as Zhang Meng, Cai Shaofen, and Deng Sha in the drama. If you pick any one of them, they all look more like heroines.
In the popular martial arts drama "The Swordsman" the following year, Ren Yingying, played by Yuan Shanshan, was once again completely crushed by the reformed "The Unbeaten East" Joe Chen, and was even directly considered by the audience to be the "female number one", which made her People are generous and generous.
After that, Yuan Shanshan still persisted and acted in many leading roles, but they all had many flaws and gradually became a "pause".
She has also suffered from "low emotional intelligence" and other problems for many years, and her popularity among passers-by is worrying.
6. Yang Rong in Yang Ying's "Song in the Clouds" and "Entrepreneurship Era"
is known as the "Millennium Second Number" in the drama. In fact, she has been in the industry for many years and has crushed many female number one stars, including those who are at the peak of their careers. Yang Ying at her peak.
In 2015, she played the role of Huo Chengjun, the clever and intelligent daughter of the general Huo Mansion, in "The Song of Romance".
The dramatic tension of this character is equally exciting:
she is pitiful, vicious but extremely tragic. Yang Rong's acting is very relaxed and natural, and she perfectly interprets Huo Chengjun's sometimes gentle and pleasant, sometimes ugly state.
Not only did Yang Ying not gain attention for her acting skills, she also contributed to the crew's fake eating scenes, which caused an uproar.
Not only that, in the "Entrepreneurial Era" broadcast in 2017, she was ruthlessly crushed by Song Yi, who played the second female lead Wendy.
Compared to Yang Ying's role as the workplace elite "Na Lan" who only frowns and stares, Song Yi's interpretation of Wendy was spot on, both in terms of lines, emotions and eyes.
Now, she has indeed broken through with her solid acting skills, and she has never played a supporting role since then.
As for Yang Ying, there have been reports of declining resources. Now she is still involved in the "Crazy Horse Show Incident", and whether she can come back is still unknown.
