As we all know, the behavior of one person playing multiple roles has always been a high-end operation in the film and television circle. Whether it is the agile movements in jackie chan movie "Double Dragon Society", the play is eye-catching, and the orchestra is gracefully conducted for a while, or Chen Kunlai in "Dragon Gate Flying Armor" plays the feminine and vicious Tian Huayu and the fierce wind knife switching back and forth, and the stunning acting skills of Wan Qian, the protagonist of "Hello Madman", when playing 7 roles with different personalities, all make the audience shout wonderful, and the actors have been highly praised.
However, just recently, the well-known traffic actor Li Xian abruptly announced that he would launch a personal sci-fi suspense miniseries "The Remaining 11" with one person playing multiple roles, which attracted heated discussion.
It is reported that "The Remaining 11" is adapted from the short fictional story "11LEFT", which mainly tells the story of a number of "Li Xian" with different fates but similar appearances, who are involved in the game by a software that travels through time and space, and jointly start a decryption adventure.
Different from Zhang Yishan's "Seven Me", Li Xian is not trying to challenge the image of multiple personality patients this time, but a character who really has his own life experience and personality characteristics, and the difficulty can be imagined. This has to make people wonder, as a traffic star, Li Xian, really has the ability to take on such a heavy responsibility and successfully transform into a powerful actor?
Netizens who know Li Xian know that he graduated from the acting department of the Beijing Film Academy and is a class actor who is a child of the Eight Classics. As early as 2011, he officially debuted in his first film "Ten Thousand Arrows Through the Heart".
But in the early stage of his career, Li Xian did not have many performance opportunities, and the "First Love Is Not Enough", "Wonderful Century", and "Brother Who Slept on My Bunk Bed" did not set off much splash, almost becoming an invisible person in the entertainment industry, and could only rely on making some other stars' songs MV to survive, and seeing that he was about to fall into the dilemma of leaving the circle.
Until 2017, Li Xian's first big beam played the protagonist Guo Deyou in the web drama "River God", began to emerge, got the attention of the industry, the next year and Yang Zi partnered with the love drama "Dear, Loved" fire, Li is now popular overnight, "now girlfriend" countless, but also got "Chinese Captain", "Win the Championship", "Antiques Bureau Central Bureau" and other high-quality film resources.
Just looking at Li Xian's resume after his debut, although the achievements are remarkable, in the end, there is still one less high-quality work that can be taken out and laid his own public status. Just like Tang Guoqiang was scolded for filming "Peacock Princess" and ran to shoot "Garland under the Mountain" and "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", he really got the recognition of the audience. "Sword Dynasty" starring Li Xian and Li Yitong was ultimately not able to get out of the circle and was widely praised by passers-by.
In order to get rid of the traffic identity, Li has also made many efforts. It is understood that during the filming of the famous work "River God", he once suffered from chronic gastritis because he was immersed in water for a long time. After the explosion of popularity, the martial arts drama "Sword Dynasty" he took over, although the reputation and popularity did not explode, Li Isian is very dedicated, almost all day long, tied Wei ya, the waist damage is great. Li Xian's degree of investment in film and television drama shooting is in stark contrast to the behavior of some small fresh meat cutting off a finger in recent years and running to the hospital.
It can be seen that Li Xian himself is indeed fully aware of the importance of transformation. Especially in recent years, the domestic demand for rectifying the entertainment industry has become more and more intense, and the film and television works that have been able to make a lot of money by casual shooting have also begun to become the object of criticism, and he must have a high-quality work to maintain today's high popularity.
As it stands, "The Remaining 11" is only about 6 minutes per episode. In fact, there are two extremes of prediction. One side believes that only 6 minutes of play, the actor's acting skills requirements are not as strict as imagined, even if the acting skills are no matter how bad, the grind can be grinded out. Li has been in the arts for ten years, has been exposed to a variety of character scripts, and has the opportunity to show the spirit of many completely different characters.
The other side believes that because "The Remaining 11" is only about 6 minutes per episode, there are higher requirements for the performance of the actors. Because there is not much time for the actors to brew emotions and slowly lead the audience into the rhythm, but there must be a very tense presentation from the beginning.
In fact, no one is right or wrong in these two views, and the final judgment depends on the actor's final performance in the play. If Li Can shine and win the hearts of the public with "The Remaining 11", his road as an actor will undoubtedly be much wider.
Of course, there is also a possibility that he is not as prominent as he thinks. However, with Li Xian's investment in the work and his eagerness to transform, even if the performance is difficult to be stunning, it should not be too bad.
And how "The Remaining 11" finally performed, let's continue to pay attention to it.
