I don't know when it started, as long as it is a hit drama, someone will always rank the acting skills of the actors in the play. But this ranking is often only for the main role of the actor, generally no one will care about the acting skills of those dragon set actors, but the dragon set actors are also likely to crouch the tiger, hidden dragon.
Tong Yue and Sha Yi, Yao Chen and Wang Jingchun
In "Breakout", there is such a dragon set actor, playing the corrupt li gongquan Tong Yue. Tong Yue graduated from the Acting Department of the Shanghai Theater Academy, and as early as 1997, she participated in her first film and television work "Oriental Harbor People", and now she has been playing for nearly 30 years.
Although he has never been a big hit from beginning to end, he once served as the male number one in film and television dramas, and the supporting roles at that time were Sha Yi and Yao Chen, who are now well-known. The show, called Urban Men and Women, is a sitcom that premiered in 2003, 18 years ago.
As for "The Tale of Wulin", which made Sha Yi and Yao Chen famous overnight, it will not be released until three years later in 2006, so the two are still unknown small actors at this time. Purely in terms of qualifications, they are far inferior to Tong Yue, and it is a perfectly normal thing to play for Tong Yue. But thirty years of Hedong and thirty years of Hexi, in the years that followed, Tong Yue's acting career has never improved. On the other hand, Sha Yi and Yao Chen, one is mixed up in the variety show industry, and the other is not a good script.
In fact, there is another actor in "Breakout" who has also participated in "Urban Men and Women", that is, Wang Jingchun, who plays Qian Rongcheng. Although Wang Jingchun's fame is not great, in recent years, the awards have not been less, and he has won many best actor titles such as the Lily Award, the Tokyo International Film Festival, the Berlin International Film Festival, the Golden Rooster Award and the Huading Award. In contrast, Tong Yue's resume is too "clean", almost isolated from the performance awards.
It is too difficult for older supporting actors to get into positions
Objectively speaking, although Li Gongquan is only a small supporting role in "Breakout", the role is extremely limited. But even in such a limited role, Tong Yue can still shape the character of Li Gongquan into three points, which shows the superb acting skills. However, there are not necessarily acting skills that can become popular, and I have to admit that sometimes luck is more important than strength, and there are many actors similar to Tong Yue in the entertainment industry.
For example, Zhang Hanyu is now a recognized powerful actor, starring in the movie "Captain China" in 2019 with a total box office of 2.912 billion. But there is one thing that many people probably don't know, that is, Zhang Hanyu did not become famous with the movie "Gathering Number" until he was 44 years old. Prior to this, Zhang Hanyu had been playing supporting roles, and even dubbed the 86 version of "Journey to the West". The reason why he can become the male protagonist of "The Gathering Number" is because Ge You can't act, so Zhang Hanyu introduced himself to get this opportunity.
Just imagine, if it were not for the various yin and yang mistakes put together, it is estimated that Zhang Hanyu is still playing a supporting role. Late is late, at least waiting for the opportunity, it can be regarded as a big instrument late. I'm afraid that I can't wait for a chance in my life, and Tong Yue is most likely to be like this, after all, not all older supporting actors have zhang Hanyu's luck.
The importance of supporting roles
Coupled with the serious internal volume of the current entertainment industry, if artists, including actors, want to get on the top, they must have the blessing of capital behind them. The reason why capital wants to praise an artist must be profitable, to put it bluntly, it is to have the ability to carry goods. More products can be sold for merchants, which explains why traffic artists are favored by merchants, because fans are willing to spend money on anything for their idols.
Obviously, Tong Yue does not have such conditions, and there is no need for capital to praise him, which is really unprofitable. For Tong Yue, what can be done is to conscientiously portray each character and make a living from it no matter what. As for wanting to make a name for itself with its acting skills, given that its role positioning is basically fixed in the position of supporting roles, it has become an absolutely small probability event to want to get ahead.
But there is still a point that is not to spit unhappy, the success or failure of a play does not depend on a single person, it requires all the staff of the crew to work together. In terms of acting, if only the acting skills of the main actors are online, and the acting skills of the supporting actors are a mess, then it is doomed to be a bad drama. Only when the acting skills of all actors have reached a certain level, the quality of the play can be guaranteed, and the importance of actors like Tong Yue is reflected at this time.
epilogue
This truth also applies to the plot of "Breakout", and the development of Zhongfu Group so far must be inseparable from the hard work of front-line employees. Therefore, the Zhongfu Group belongs to all the people who have struggled for it, not the private property of a single person, and is as the original novel says, "the property of the people".
Personal opinion, do not like it or spray.
