85 Flower can be said to be the most star-studded and discussed group among the first-line domestic entertainment artists.
In the past few years, 85 Flowers have also made efforts to transform. Zhao Liying's "Wind Blowing Pinellia", "Happiness Comes to Thousands of Houses" and even "Article 20" have made her acting career more and more solid.
And Tang Yan, even after returning to her family for many years, still attracted attention and fans again with "Flowers".
In contrast, Yang Mi, who has always been at the forefront, seems to be the one lagging behind.
This year, "Harbin 1944" starring Yang Mi was launched with great success. Earlier, Yang Mi hired an acting teacher for this drama and expressed her importance to the work in interviews.
But unfortunately, "Harbin 1944" almost ruined Yang Mi's popularity accumulated through many hit dramas over the years. It's not that the audience is harsh, but Yang Mi's acting skills and image status are really terrible.
She is no longer beautiful but has a concave and glamorous character. Yang Mi can’t hide her fatigue.
In the audience’s impression, Yang Mi has always been beautiful and sexy. On the red carpet, she can always rely on her proud curves and her appearance that has grown against age. The value status is eye-catching.
However, in TV dramas, especially those with spy themes, the lighting is not so particular, and the makeup and hair cannot be too grand. As Yang Mi gets older, her tiredness becomes more and more obvious.
In "Harbin 1944", apart from Yang Mi's big and smart eyes, she looks very old in many camera angles.
In the drama, there is a scene where the heroine Guan Xue is injured and takes care of the wound herself. As a result, Yang Mi reluctantly shows off and squeezes out all the wrinkles around her eyes.
With a skinny figure and a problem of concealing her age, Yang Mi's "beautiful" label in "Harbin 1944" lost the so-called persuasiveness.
But the character Guan Xue is labeled as a femme fatale. From the beginning of the drama, Guan Xue's style has been one after another. Yang Mi's status is like playing "Spy War Nuan Nuan" in the spy war era. Compared with Apart from the plot, Yang Mi's acting skills and her cross-dressing show have become the highlights of this drama.
Not only that, Yang Mi also frequently appeared in some key plots carrying some expensive luxury bags.
As a ruthless female spy leader, Guan Xue wears a small dress and a small foreign hat every day, and does not forget to carry a dazzling Hermès bag in her hand. She wears it as if she is taking pictures in various power struggles where her life is hanging by a thread. magazine.
Among a group of rough guys, Guan Xue played by Yang Mi is really too abrupt.
Moreover, as long as Yang Mi behaves normally, it is enough to show her femininity, but in the drama she always exerts too much force in unnecessary places. For example, when she is lying there to rest, her waist is completely suspended, and she is lying down. She posed straight and straight, fearing that the audience would not be able to see her voluptuous curves and proportions.
The key point is that there is no female character in this drama who can challenge Yang Mi’s status. We don’t know why Yang Mi goes to great lengths to compete on the red carpet and is committed to creating a super hero who is obsessed with style and beauty. The spy chief.
It is precisely because Yang Mi has directly welded the baggage of being an idol onto her body that Yang Mi's reputation plummeted as soon as this drama was released.
His acting skills are poor, but he feels good about himself. Yang Mi’s overturn is destined.
In fact, countless examples in the entertainment industry have proven that actors can only truly play their roles well if they keep a low profile and always have a humble sense of awe towards the performance. But there are some actors who will display an overconfident temperament when acting, such as the greasy Yang Yang in "My World's Fireworks", and another example is Yang Mi in "Harbin 1944".
The character Guan Xue is cool and ruthless, and when it comes to shaping the characteristics of the character, Yang Mi often assumes a posture of "thinking she is handsome"
. Sometimes, she suddenly starts to show off the lower half of her face. , from time to time, the small movements of pressing the tip of the tongue against the cheeks have a sense of immediateness that is truly inherited from Yang Yang's greasy acting skills.
Moreover, Yang Mi still has many shortcomings, which makes the audience feel uncomfortable all the time.
In terms of deportment, Yang Mi still has a serious problem with her neck leaning forward. Even though she is wearing a military uniform, she still does not have a straight and upright demeanor. Especially when she is emotionally intense, her out-of-control deportment management greatly reduces the character's aura.
In the TV series, there are several clips of Guan Xue dancing. In these clips, Yang Mi dances with terrifying confidence. Her forward neck and hunched back give the exquisite cheongsam look a bit of a streetwalker effect. .
The problem with manners is second, and the deficiencies in lines are even more dissuasive.
According to Yang Mi herself, in order to fully understand the role of Guan Xue, she did her best to adapt to the new things given by the director on set. When she arrived at the scene, Yang Mi didn't even need a script. She memorized the characters' lines by heart, and with the help of professional teachers, she nailed each line very carefully.
However, judging from the performance in the main film of this drama, Yang Mi's performance is hard to describe. She can't enunciate clearly, and she seems to have ice cubes in her mouth when speaking. Sometimes her sentences are very strange, and her breath is often placed in unexpected places for the audience. The place.
The output of lines is the key to establishing a character's image and aura. When a ruthless character is angry, he cannot pronounce clearly and his aura cannot be maintained.
Previously, many of Yang Mi's hit dramas were actually assisted by voice actors. This time, Guan Xue also exposed Yang Mi's shortness of breath and lack of energy.
For Yang Mi personally, Guan Xue's overturn may be an opportunity for her to truly receive objective feedback on her acting skills. But for her partner Qin Hao and even the director of this drama, Yang Mi's poor performance sacrificed the efforts of the entire crew.
In the audience's impression, Yang Mi has always been a sober heroine. She has never been miserable. After leaving Jiaxing, she has indeed become more like a big flower in Tsing Yi in her performance planning. However, Yang Mi, who was born in idol dramas, Her own advantage is her beauty. If she wants to create a deeper role and a more important subject, she has to change the acting habits she developed in idol dramas.
"Harbin 1944" was a wrong choice. Not only that, but the just-released movie "Nothing That Can't Be Solved by a Hot Pot" once again proved that it's not that the role of a spy leader is not suitable for Yang Mi, but Yang Mi's acting skills The limitations of strength are too great.
Only when Yang Mi completely puts aside her idol baggage, completely abandons the traffic filter of "feeling good about herself", and becomes a star, can she integrate into the work, draw energy from the role, and truly improve her acting skills.
