What kind of actor can be called an artist?
This answer is a variety of opinions, some people think that good acting is OK, some people think that fame is big, in short, it is the subjective view of the audience, and there is no fixed standard. But in my opinion, there is always a minimum standard: virtue and art. There are not many such actors, Li Xuejian counts one, Ande Benchang counts one.

Some people will say that the 64-year-old Pan Changjiang can also be regarded as an old artist.
All I can say is that that's just the title you gave him. In my opinion, pan Changjiang's identity as an old artist needs to be put in quotation marks, he is just an actor. Perhaps in the past, everyone would still call him "Teacher Pan", but now he has devoted his life's acting skills to the live streaming industry, and he has long become a "Pan Zi" who has been ridiculed by everyone.
Some people questioned him for selling fakes, some accused him of having no bottom line, and some people mocked him for being late.
From the famous sketch actor "Pan Changjiang Teacher" to the circle of juniors directly called "Panzi", IMHO, Pan Changjiang is about to lose the good reputation he has accumulated for many years, how beautiful he was then, how unbearable he is now. A good hand of cards is broken, and being scolded as "late festival is not guaranteed" is not unjust at all.
"Carry the comedy to the end", this is the signature of Pan Changjiang's social account.
When I mentioned him before, I must have thought of sketch actors who disregarded the image on the stage and repeatedly exposed golden sentences, and most of us grew up watching his works.
After "Crossing the River" in 1996, almost the people of the whole country remembered this northeast man who was not tall, could sing and dance. Later, he partnered with Huang Xiaojuan, Yan Shuping and Cai Ming, and appeared on the spring festival gala stage again and again, becoming a well-known comedian of that era.
In addition to the excellent sketches left on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, Pan Changjiang's performance in film and television dramas is also outstanding. In the 2004 comedy "Raise Your Hand" set in the Anti-Japanese War, he played the role of "Luo Circle Leg", although there are few lines, but it is the biggest laugh in the movie.
Born in a family of pear gardens, Teacher Pan Changjiang has been influenced by art since childhood.
The years when he boarded the Spring Festival Gala were his glorious years, and his creation has always implemented a purpose: to do works with conscience, not only to amuse, but also to let everyone be inspired after laughing.
However, no one expected that such an actor, who had done a conscience work for most of his life, personally destroyed his beautiful image in the hearts of the audience in his later years and lost his good reputation.
"Pan Ga's friendship" is not much to say, when he first advised "Gazi" Xie Mengwei's words, now not only do we feel funny, but even Gazi will take it out and ridicule: I regard you as a predecessor, but you use me as a springboard?
The front foot just taught the younger generations in a serious way, and the back foot Pan Yangtze River began the road of "taking the goods to the people". Celebrity live streaming is a trend, but why does Pan Changjiang cause such a big controversy?
The most commonly mentioned is the "fake wine storm", most of the wine in his live broadcast room is a rare brand on the market, some people are willing to describe it as a "miscellaneous brand", but this is not the point, mainly many people who believe in him find that after buying, "after drinking a headache", "the logo on the bottle can not be recognized", "can not contact the after-sales", "the price is more expensive than the market"...
After a series of problems appeared, in the face of netizens' doubts and even bad comments, Pan Changjiang not only did not restrain and reflect, but challenged the bottom line of the public again and again.
In a recent live broadcast, in the face of an ornament on the bottle, he even publicly claimed that "this diamond is worth 1 million", and the ridiculous thing is that the bottle of wine he recommended was quoted for less than 20,000 under his hard performance. The female assistant next to him was shocked after listening to it, and hurried to help him go back to find a remedy.
Some netizens did not understand, for a time "lost infamy" brush screen.
Now in everyone's eyes, Pan Changjiang is no longer the funny sketch actor, giving people the feeling of being more like a "clown" who ignores it. He didn't care about the screen full of sarcasm, only the amount of transactions; he no longer cared whether the work was conscientious or not, only whether it could get traffic.
So we see that the "artists" in the eyes of some people have refreshed the bottom line one after another, and one "bad film" after another has been filmed happily, and even when the movie "Wusong Blood Battle Lion Building" was released, in order to increase the fans of Zhang Xiyuan, the actor of "Pan Jinlian" in the film, he did not hesitate to kneel down to netizens, which surprised people.
He consumed himself again and again, was ridiculed by netizens again and again, and was scolded for being "discredited" but still unrepentant.
Today's Pan Changjiang, compared with the infinite scenery of the past, is very unbearable. To say that he is "late and not guaranteed" is not unjust at all. Word of mouth plummeted and bad reviews continued, and even the popularity of the live broadcast room plummeted.
In a recent live broadcast, watching his exaggerated performance and the fading liquor bottle, I suddenly felt that this is also very similar to his image change in the audience's mind, in the past, exaggerated and ugly was regarded as art, but now it is ugly by a body of acting, erasing the color of the famous sketch actor, leaving only ridiculous to the extreme.
From the small flower face of the Northeast Caotai Drama Critics Team to the "famous sketch actor" of the Spring Festival Gala, he could have retired like Feng Gong, Guo Da, Zhao Benshan, and Cai Ming, leaving a good reputation for a lifetime. However, he played the "Uncle Pan" whom he admired from the younger generations in the circle into a Pan Zi who was questioned by "being discredited".
He became a "cargo master", but lost the love of the audience, everything is his own fault, no one is blamed.
