" and Feng Xing " is a TV series that has attracted much attention, especially Zhao Liying 's return to the costume drama has aroused the audience's expectations and attention. However, although this drama has achieved great success in terms of ratings and popularity, it faces serious word-of-mouth differentiation, and Lin Gengxin 's performance in it has become the focus of heated discussion among many viewers.

First of all, what dissatisfied the audience was the stiffness and unnaturalness of Lin Gengxin's performance in the play. Some viewers described his performance as "big wood", lacking a fairy-like temperament, and lacking the appeal and depth required for the role. Especially when playing the role of Sick Yangzi, Lin Gengxin failed to fully display the inner world of the character, making it difficult for the audience to empathize and be moved by the character.

What disappoints the audience even more is Lin Gengxin’s fake eating behavior in the play. The audience described in detail his fake eating actions in several scenes, such as eating steamed buns, drinking medicine, and drinking porridge. In these scenes, Lin Gengxin's movements showed obvious unnaturalness. For example, he obviously lost his position when biting the steamed buns, his mouth did not actually touch the water when drinking medicine, and there was actually nothing in the spoon when scooping porridge. These fake eating behaviors caused embarrassment and discomfort to the audience, weakening the reality of the plot and the viewing experience.

In addition, Lin Gengxin tried to make up for these problems through special effects and camera switching in the later stage, but these measures did not completely cover up his fake eating behavior, but instead aggravated the audience's dissatisfaction. The audience believes that actors should be more attentive and authentic in their performances and should not give up on the true restoration of the characters due to role setting or other reasons, so as not to affect the perception and reputation of the entire drama.

​Although "Traveling with the Phoenix" has achieved great commercial success, Lin Gengxin's performance and fake eating behavior in the play have been criticized by the audience. The audience hopes that actors can be more attentive and real in their performances, constantly improve their acting skills, and present more exciting and real characters to the audience to win the audience's recognition and love.

The acting skills of Lin Gengxin and Zhao Liying have always been the focus of discussion among the audience in the play. Especially in the eating scene, the performance of the two actors triggered widespread discussion and criticism.

First of all, Shen Li, played by Zhao Liying in the play, showed very real pleasure and enjoyment as soon as she ate meat. She vividly expressed the character's yearning and satisfaction for food, making the audience feel as if they could smell the aroma of meat and feel the character's inner joy. Not only did Zhao Liying actually eat, but she also performed the effect of feasting, with splashes of oil on her mouth and a happy expression, which greatly increased the audience's appetite. Her performance brought joy and satisfaction to the audience and successfully demonstrated the characteristics of the character.

In contrast, Lin Gengxin's performance in the eating scene seemed stiff and unnatural. Although he pretended to pick up vegetables and drink soup in the play, his movements were not natural and smooth enough, and lacked a sense of reality. The audience can clearly feel his deficiencies in acting, and the performance was in a forced state, which was in sharp contrast to Zhao Liying's natural performance. Especially in the scene, Lin Gengxin's movements were obviously a bit stiff and did not fit well with the character's setting and situation, leaving an unpleasant impression on the audience.

Audiences questioned Lin Gengxin's performance, thinking that his fake eating behavior in the eating scene made people feel uncomfortable and embarrassed. Although he plays a sick man in the play, the audience believes that this does not justify his fake eating. His muscular body and temperament do not match the character's setting, which also makes his behavior of pretending to eat even more unacceptable. The audience hopes that actors can treat the role more carefully and truly restore the character's image, instead of just focusing on superficial skills and ignoring the character's inner characteristics and emotional expression.

Generally speaking, there are obvious differences in the acting performances of Lin Gengxin and Zhao Liying in "Traveling with the Phoenix". Zhao Liying successfully displayed the characteristics of the character through her real performance, while Lin Gengxin's performance seemed a bit forced and unnatural.The audience hopes that actors can treat the characters more carefully and truly restore the character's image, so as to enhance the viewing experience and word-of-mouth evaluation of the work.
