In the current TV drama market, you sing and I appear, and it’s already a fight between gods before the summer season.
Especially for star TV series, this ratings war is really exciting. With the strength and traffic gathered, there will always be one that is your cup of tea.
Three of them are considered the best in this battle.
The first of course is the CCTV spy drama "Storm Chaser", which is simply a CP stew. Even Wang Yibo and Wang Yang can create sparks, who can say that the traffic performance is not good.
"Traveling with the Phoenix" followed closely. As the first large-scale ancient puppet to be released this year, Hunan Satellite TV really caught the audience's attention, but the data seemed to be a lot worse than expected.
Of course, there is also the brand new "Today's Girls", produced by Han Sanping and joined by the screenwriter of "Flowers", which is completely a sense of déjà vu forcibly entering the show.
These three dramas have three actresses of different ages as the heroines -
Zhao Liying, Li Qin, and Charmaine Sheh.
Their nationality is relatively high, and they are recognized by the audience as strong actors. This time they applied for competition with different themes, so there was a strong contrast.
This time, let's take a look at how the three actresses performed in terms of eating scenes -
Zhao Liying
I dare to say that no actress can perform the state of eating scenes played by Zhao Liying in "Traveling with the Phoenix".
Shen Li hadn't had a good meal for a long time at this time, so he finally got a meat dish, which he must have thoroughly enjoyed.
And Zhao Liying just combines the Queen's informality with the appearance that an ancient doll should have.
This piece of fat and thin meat is simply mouth-watering, and Zhao Liying directly brought it to her mouth without saying a word and took a bite.
is so delicious.
didn't even finish chewing the food in his mouth, so he took another bite. While chewing Zhao Liying, he looked at Lin Gengxin.
At this time, she was not highlighting her acting skills, but was completely immersed in the character, and she did not forget to communicate with her opponent actors while eating.
After that, there was another big mouthful. The meat was already so fat that it was dripping with oil.
To be honest, even ordinary people have to think about "sin" in their hearts when eating such fat meat, but Zhao Liying, as a 85-year-old girl, has no scruples at all, and her popularity does not rise at all.
On the other hand, Lin Gengxin, who was opposite him, picked at the food again and again with his chopsticks, pretending to be reserved and reciting his lines, but in fact he didn't pick up a bite of food for a long time.
And Zhao Liying ate with excitement, as if she hadn't seen meat and fish in months.
Not to mention the quality of the TV series, just such a clip has already made the audience interested in "Traveling with the Phoenix". Needless to say, its ability to carry the drama.
In fact, Zhao Liying has always been unambiguous in her acting.
In my opinion, the biggest difference between her and other 85 flowers is that she can perform a down-to-earth performance that makes people feel immersed in her performance. She is not exaggerated and at the same time very consistent with the character image.
Li Qin
In fact, it stands to reason that Li Qin is the one with the least image baggage. Even when she usually walks on the red carpet, she is extremely low-key and seems to really not care about the promotion of her own image. After all,
is an actor with hard skills and a reputation for his masterpieces. He is not on the same track as others.
I still remember the year when "White Deer Plain" made her famous. One of the eating scenes is still fresh in my memory, in which she really stuffed a piece of dirt into her mouth.
But nowadays Li Qin always exerts too much force when acting.
There seems to be a rope around her body. As soon as the camera is turned on, her state is extremely high, all traces of performance.
Actually, she doesn't have any airs when it comes to eating scenes, but for some reason she always acts very fake.
Shen Jinzhen can be considered a wealthy lady. Her brother is a senior adviser to the central bank, and she is also a top student studying abroad.
is at least a pampered young lady in terms of identity, and it is also because of this identity that she can perform her tasks more steadfastly as a protection.
But for some reason, Li Qin worked too hard when he and Wang Yibo were in the eating scene.
even has to stick out his tongue and lick his lips after taking a bite, which is completely out of character.
Drink red wine as if you have never drank it before, licking your lips hard and drinking down the glass in one gulp.
Even if he is in a good mood, Shen Jinzhen's living habits cannot be so unbridled and unrestrained.
The most important thing is that in fact, each bite Li Qin eats is not too much, just eat normally and enjoy the food.
However, she insisted on opening her mouth to the maximum exaggeration, and even chewed food very hard. It was so fake that it looked like she had no appetite at all.
After performing this scene, Li Qin even deliberately shouted to the camera, "It's so good."
It is true that female celebrities eat very little, but the scene itself does not need to be so voracious, and the focus is not on Shen Jinzhen's side.
Normally I feel full when I feel full. I just touch my belly and say I feel full. Why do I have to deliberately turn my head and shout at the camera? I think it’s just because some people would think it was artificial.
The same goes for eating corn later.
The makeup and costumes are so exquisite, Li Qin insists on opening her mouth as wide as possible to eat corn, as if she is deliberately telling the camera: Look how hard I eat.
Actually, the first bite didn’t take much, it was just for the audience to see.
The same goes for the second and third bites, which must show the scene of eating corn in big mouthfuls, and the fingers habitually return to the character of the "female star".
This looks very divisive. In fact, Shen Yuan really eats corn. He just needs to be more reserved and eat it normally. Why does it have to be like this?
only took a few bites and told the director that he could eat more.
How do you keep acting like this? If you cut the behind-the-scenes footage together, you can make an idol drama, right?
It's also about eating. Li Qin's interpretation of the eating scene is completely inconsistent with the character's personality. It is obviously showing the actor's basic skills and trying to tell the audience how dedicated she is.
In contrast, Wang Yibo actually eats hard, which is more in line with the characteristics of the character.
Charmaine Sheh
is obviously already in charge, and she is willing to come to the mainland to act again. I am afraid that Charmaine Sheh's career ambition is really not comparable to that of female stars in domestic entertainment.
She even learned Mandarin, appeared in original lines, and was indeed dedicated.
In the play, Charmaine Sheh’s eating scene regardless of her image made my eyes shine even more.
Eating glutinous rice balls, she first took a small bite suspiciously in front of everyone's gaze, obviously a little surprised.
After taking a bite, he first tilted his head slightly, not wanting to let the other person know that he liked it, but he still swallowed the whole glutinous rice ball directly. Although
is the domineering boss, he is very real. The whole woman's cuteness and love for food are clearly visible on the page.
When drinking red wine outside, you must sip it in small sips. Paired with my sister’s retro red lips, the atmosphere is immediately filled.
Yes, this is my style!
However, when she encountered the temptation of delicious food from her male best friend, she first closed her eyes and shouted, "I hate fat and carbohydrates."
However, when others put things in her mouth, she who was so stubborn just now softened immediately.
chewed the meat in his mouth and sighed regardless of the image: It's so delicious!
This is the satisfaction of a big mouthful of carbohydrates and fat, which is in sharp contrast with the vegetable juice I drank before. I think the female audience in front of the screen has already started to drool, and the sense of immersion is too strong.
are all exaggerated performances, and Charmaine Sheh herself has some Hong Kong drama atmosphere.
Why is her acting more pleasing to the eyes than Li Qin?
Because Charmaine Sheh always takes a big bite, not deliberately opening her mouth wide to show the audience, but opening her mouth as wide as she can to bite as many burgers as she wants.
The director did not give a close-up of the burger, but the audience seemed to have seen the meat patty being bitten so that the juices splashed everywhere.
Especially this eating scene is complete. She will give feedback after finishing the bite. Her eyes are really enjoying the food when she squints. Don't tell me, I feel like looking in the mirror.
Conclusion
Zhao Liying, Li Qin and Charmaine Sheh are all actresses with extremely good reputations.
The above three eating scenes are all quite exaggerated, and all three of them are really eating, but there are good and bad eating scenes, which is a great test of the actors' acting skills.
Zhao Liying's eating can really make people feel the human desire for food. Every time she eats, she is not devouring it, but she can smell the aroma of the food.
Zhao Liying focuses on "eating", while Charmaine Sheh focuses on "acting".
This also allowed me to get a closer understanding of Charmaine Sheh’s ability. She can make the characters civilian, from the reaction before eating to the details of the expression after eating, the audience will fully appreciate the pleasure brought by food as they follow the screen.
If the drama is just to showcase the actors, it will be meaningless. All the scenes in the drama should revolve around character creation.
I don’t know whose performance among the above three actors impresses you more?
