"The Beginning", which has already come to an end, as a "quality drama" of the noonday sun, whether it is the protagonist or a supporting role, the acting skills of the characters are eye-catching.
"Pressure cooker aunt" Liu Dan's eyes, it makes people shudder, even if it is smiling, it makes people's backs chill, and when she has no expression, she is even more full of paranoid madness.
There is also the criminal police captain Zhang Cheng, in the recently updated thirteen episodes, Zhang Became to protect everyone from serious injuries, and many viewers were moved by him. The superb acting skills of actor Liu Yijun have deeply understood the image of a dedicated policeman.
Lead actor Zhao Jinmai, as a post-00 actor, his acting skills are also just right, and in the scenes where he was killed by "Aunt Pot", the emotions of panic, fear, and breathlessness were very well expressed.
In this drama that can be called the online acting skills of all the staff, the most complained about is Liu Tao, who has the largest coffee position.
The total number of shots she appeared in was more than twenty minutes, but in these twenty minutes, her acting skills were not only crushed by Liu Yijun, but even inferior to several new generation actors, and the bad reviews were tidal.
In fact, Liu Tao's bad review performance in "The Beginning" is not without trace. Liu Tao, who frequently "overturns", her embarrassment has long been doomed.
First of all, cameo acting should also be taken seriously
In the play, Liu Tao was spat on, partly because of the shape of the crotch, the wig is too "fake".
Maybe because it is a cameo performance, it is not worth the deliberate cutting of hair, and the original intention of the thick short hair may be to set off the capable and sassy of the police chief, but it has caused the complete opposite effect.
Coupled with the makeup of high eyebrows and tired eyes, people can't feel the aura of the female director.
It is reasonable to say that the police chief should be a shrewd and capable image, but du Ju, played by Liu Tao, makes everyone feel rustic and contradictory, saying that he is a logistics clerk, and maybe the audience will buy it.
The most important thing is that when encountering such a difficult big case, she can't see her nervousness and heart under layers of pressure, except for saying "prepare for drug testing", many of her actions in the play make people not understand what they want to express.
Too deliberate frowning and drinking water even makes people wonder if she will be a villain.
Compared with last year's fire in "Sweeping Black Storm", He Yun's actor Wu Yue.
In "Sweeping The Black Storm", He Yun's powerful aura when interrogating prisoners, step by step, three words and two words to create an excellent police image with many years of experience in handling cases.
However, in the face of his son and a gentle motherly side, the audience can appreciate He Yun's complex psychological activities through the superb acting skills of the actors.
On the other hand, the police chief played by Liu Tao, although he also has short hair, writes a serious and unkind smile on his face.
The eyes that want to express the strategizing are half open, the eyebrows are locked, and they do not show a little of the temperament of the superior, and the stereotypes are full.
Some people may say that this is just a cameo, there is not much drama at all, it is simply a bone in the egg.
But many guest actors still performed very well, and Teacher Wang Yanhui made a cameo as a murderer in "Burning Heart in the Sun".
A total of 3 minutes in the scene, the disregard and indifference to life is chilling, and even some people outside the play accuse him of being a criminal when he eats.
The second is to format the acting, and the homogenization of the casting is regrettable
In fact, Liu Tao in the early days contributed a lot of images with aura.
For example, Aju in "Tianlong Babu", Princess Musha in "Huan Zhu Ge Ge 3", and Bai Suzhen in "The Legend of the White Snake", these characters have very different characters and have left a deep impression on everyone.
Although the acting skills are young, they are not inferior among actors of the same age.
In the following years, she continued to take over the drama, but most of them were tepid, except for the role of the Lord of the Phoenix County in "Langya List", the impression was more prominent, and the other emotional dramas and cameos she participated in were silent.
2016 was a turning point, Liu Tao played the role of high-IQ "returnee gold collar" Andy in "Ode to Joy".
This role is both a pro and a disadvantage for Liu Tao, she not only became popular through this role, but also won the award.
However, after tasting the sweetness, she began to lie flat in this comfort zone, whether it was taking over the scene or acting, with a strong "Andy wind".
From this time on, Liu Tao's "rollover" could not be stopped.
In the urban emotional drama "Long Live Love", Liu Tao played a "three high goddesses" Jinna with high education, high salary and high appearance.
Partnering with Yang Shuo in "We All Have to Be Good" to find a role, and "I really love you" in the independent woman Xiao Yan, did not jump out of the shackles of "domineering female president".
The style was complained about being too single, word of mouth overturned, and she also fell into an embarrassing reincarnation.
After "Ode to Joy", Liu Tao starred in the drama, and the Douban score generally failed. Even in the main drama "Armageddon", the role of Song Meiling, who she played, was also complained that she was too "endy".
Song Meiling's character image is gentle, originally erudite and arrogant, but was performed with a feeling of warm swallowing, netizens complained that "once Liu Tao speaks, she has to double the speed", criticizing her acting skills.
This shows the disadvantage of soaking in bad dramas for a long time.
In the small production drama with a thin plot, she plays the image of a strong woman, her acting skills are completely enough, but once it comes to a sophisticated big production, the actors around her are acting schools, and the gap comes out at once.
Zhang Yimou said that actors should not often take bad dramas, and bad dramas will make actors form bad performance habits.
Lack of depth in the understanding of the character, the character is too facial
In contrast, actresses of similar age to Liu Tao, many people are still exploring on the road of acting, and constantly releasing more possibilities.
Just like the aforementioned Wu Yue, she can play both the complex and good and evil female policewoman in "Sweeping The Black Storm", and the green tea Xiaosan Lingling who hates people in "The First Half of My Life".
In fact, from the perspective of the domineering female president alone, Liu Tao's acting skills are also far behind Yuan Quan in "The First Half of My Life", although Yuan Quan has not appeared in the public eye much in recent years, mainly active in the drama stage to hone his acting skills.
An actress who is about the same age as Liu Tao and has a similar coffee position, which one has not already returned a few weighty trophies, in fact, she is not backward at the beginning, or even the best in her generation, so the current situation is even more regrettable.
In last year's popular spy drama "Opponent", there were two very good Mesozoic actresses Tan Zhuo and Yan Bingyan.
Tan Zhuo has played the strong and indomitable single mother Liu Sihui in "I Am Not a Medicine God", and also played the arrogant noble concubine in "Yanxi Raiders", two roles with completely different styles, both of which have been deeply interpreted by her.
In "Opponent", she and Guo Jingfei played a spy couple, and Ding Meixi, played by Tan Zhuo, is usually an ordinary housewife, worried about chai rice oil and salt, and pays attention to her daughter's grades and whether she is in early love.
But when performing the task, she is a professional agent image, even in order to get information at the expense of selling the body, the role span is very large, she plays effortlessly, behind the "effortless", it is the actor's due diligence to achieve.
Another Yan Bingyan, who played Duan Yingjiu, a scout for the National Security Bureau, in the play, has created many characters with very different styles but distinct personalities.
As early as 1998, she won the Golden Rooster Award for Best Supporting Actress, and in 2007, she won the golden rooster award for "Teeth of Love".
She appeared in Opponent as a tattoo, exploded head yellow curly hair, dressed up to get rid of the image of a small, who looks like a villain.
But the back immediately reversed, it turned out that she was an undercover policeman, and when she finished combing her hair, she changed back into a police uniform, and she was righteous again.
But she will also be vulnerable, and after her husband wants to divorce, she shows the feminine tender side, these multi-faceted features show the actor's deep understanding of the role, no traffic but first-class acting.
Acting has become a side business, and variety show singing is more blossoming is a pro or con
Liu Tao overturned the car, another important reason is that people's energy is limited, but she also pursues career blossoms on all sides.
In 2007, Liu Tao and Wang Ke, who was then one of the "Four Young People in Beijing", met and flashed marriage for 20 days, and happily announced at the wedding that he would quit the entertainment circle.
Liu Tao did indeed spend a carefree and luxurious life after marriage, and in the same year she gave birth to her daughter Wang Ziyan.
The 2008 financial crisis devastated many people, including Wang Ke.
From a value of hundreds of millions of dollars directly to more than 400 million debts, the sudden change caused Wang Ke to suffer from depression, and Liu Tao, who was pregnant with a second child, had to quickly make a comeback to make money after giving birth to a child.
In fact, Liu Tao's works are far superior to other actresses of the same age in terms of quantity alone, but her mind at that time was focused on making money and repaying debts, so the quality of her works was uneven.
One work after another, it is difficult to have enough time to polish their acting skills, can only be nibbled on the old book, acting skills are not bad, but the routine homogenization is serious.
After receiving 25 plays in five years and paying off her husband's more than 400 million arrears, she still did not stop her busy pace, participating in variety shows such as "Crossover Singer King" and "Flowers and Teenagers", and frequently brushing her face in various evenings to host.
At the same time, she is also the anchor signed by Ali, with the name "Liu Yidao", and sold 148 million in 4 hours in the first live broadcast.
These side jobs made her a lot of money, but for her acting career not only did not help anything, but also made her lose the energy to sharpen her acting skills.
Unsuitable characters make the audience feel uncomfortable
In recent years, tv dramas have a common problem, as if finding an actor who fits the role setting has become a luxury.
The endless stream of ugly men in costumes, as well as people whose age is almost more than 100, are still playing teenage boys and girls.
Even Zhang Ziyi and Zhou Xun are not exempt from vulgarity, Zhang Ziyi played a fifteen-year-old county lord in "Shangyang Fu", and the wrinkles and vicissitudes that cannot be worn off by the ten-level filter skin.
Zhou Xun and Huo Jianhua played teenage Qingying and Hongli in "Ruyi Zhuan", which also made the audience feel a sense of separation.
Some people will say that this is to create appearance anxiety, but the most important thing about a play is the script and casting, and finding a suitable person to play a suitable role should not be the most basic thing?
Liu Tao also has this big problem of easy to roll over, when choosing a script, he does not consider his age and state, and the double ponytail in "The Sea of Stars" and Lin Feng's three or seven points make people call out hot eyes.
The costume drama in "The Words of the Great Song Palace" is also the same problem.
An orphan girl in Shudi can be looked at by the prince, which shows that she must be very beautiful, even the Jingchao cloth skirt cannot hide her brilliance, but Liu Tao's appearance does not make the audience get that sense of surprise.
People can't understand why the three princes fell in love at first sight and left the princess who bore the child for herself.
Acting for more than twenty years, her positioning is very vague, and her acting skills are not bad but not excellent.
The personal characters in real life are virtuous wives and mothers and strong women, and most of the TV dramas starring after marriage are virtuous wives and strong women who are successful but emotionally empty.
Whether it is in the play or in real life, she is framed, and everything she does is like "playing" herself. It is necessary to want to break through, but the phoenix nirvana must go through a fiery fire, and the transformation is not easy.
