Hello everyone, I am Crackle, a melon-eating girl who runs to the front line of the melon field.
Recently, a tidbit flowing out of Lou Ye's movie "Lyceum Theatre" has aroused heated discussion. The focus of the discussion among netizens is the two actors in the film.
The 55-year-old Gong Li is going to play with Zhao Youting, an actor who is 18 years younger than herself. And judging from the content of the outflow of tidbits, the two seem to be lovers in the play, and there are even intimate scenes like kissing.
However, many netizens are not very optimistic about the two of them, and feel that the age gap between them seems to be a little too big.
01
Netizens will have such worries, but also because in these years of domestic TV series or movies, there have indeed been many similar situations that have surprised the audience.
Liu Xiaoqing, who was nearly 60 years old at the time, played a 16-year-old girl in "Sui and Tang Heroes 3" and played a couple with 38-year-old Zheng Guolin, which is still deeply imprinted in my mind.
Although Liu Xiaoqing's performance level is not to be picked, when I heard Zheng Guolin shouting silly at Liu Xiaoqing, I was still shocked.
Zhang Ziyi played a 15-year-old girl in "Shangyang Fu" and was also spat on, without the spirit of a girl.
In fact, people are older, appropriate service to the elderly is a healthy mentality, this year Liu Xiaoqing finally gave up the girl in the "North and South" to play the grandmother, many netizens did not give a lot of praise.
Two years ago, Chen Jianbin also filmed an idol drama with Li Yitong, who is 20 years younger than himself, and there are many intimate scenes in it.
After netizens have seen it, they have said that the picture of the two of them together is really not compatible, and there is no difference between father and daughter.
Chen Jianbin has performed well in other dramas in the past two years, and he has won a lot of awards, and there is really no need to forcibly stuff himself into the idol drama to force himself to play the hegemon.
No matter how good an actor plays an inappropriate role, it will cause controversy, even Chen Daoming, who has always been known for his good acting skills.
In this year's TV series "Flowing Golden Years", Chen Daoming and his 32-year-old Ni Ni acted in an emotional drama, which also aroused the disgust of many netizens.
The reason behind this disgust is not that their acting skills are unqualified, but that Chen Daoming's hair is gray in the play, and the style of dark skin is indeed not small. When he stood with Ni Ni, who was full of collagen, he looked more like a father-daughter relationship.
This also makes many viewers feel a little too dramatic, and naturally they have a general evaluation of the emotional line of the two of them.

However, to say that the age gap is large can not be played together, it is also a bit too absolute. Over the years, there have also been several good works on this genre.
Let's say that Chen Jianbin's other play "The Biography of Zhen Huan", he and Sun Li are also 12 years old, but no one has ever felt that there is anything inappropriate about their performance in the play.
There are even many viewers who feel that whether the two of them first had love for each other, or when Zhen Huan was in love with Shilang later, they were quite cp.
This is also because the emperor is a little older, which is in line with the real setting of history, and Sun Li and Chen Jianbin, the two, have a very accurate grasp of the change in the age of the characters, and they are absolutely up to standard in acting, which has created this masterpiece.
In the early years, Song Siming and Seaweed in "Snail Residence" are also typical screen couples with a large age gap, and these two characters are even mixed with the plot of both derailments.
However, the joint interpretation of Zhang Jiayi and Li Nian did not make the audience have too much sense of violation. This is also due to the fact that both the setting of the script and the image of the two of them are still in line with real life.
Although Zhang Jiayi was almost forty years old at that time, his overall state was still quite good, and the temperament that looked particularly positive on his body was also in line with Song Siming's identity as a civil servant. Therefore, the final effect of this drama is naturally good.
Last year, Song Qian and Song Weilong's "Next Stop, Happiness", although the netizens complained that the plot was a bit dog bloody, but they were a screen couple, or many people liked it.
First, the script was originally written about sister-brother love, and the age gap between the two actors is a reasonable arrangement.
Second, because they are both handsome and beautiful, Although Song Qian is more than thirty years old, she is still in good shape, and Song Weilong has been said to look very mature since her debut, not like 99 years.
So the two cp pairs don't look like they're going against each other.

Speaking of which, in fact, to shoot a good drama and not make the audience resentful, the most important thing is to grasp the scale in the middle.
When the crew selects actors, they should have a bottom in their hearts, and try to find actors who are enough to support this role, whether it is image or acting.
When actors pick a script, it is best to have a clear understanding of themselves, at least respect the setting of the script and the situation in real life.
The actors are well maintained, 30 years old to play 20 years old, 40 years old to play 30 years old, I can understand, but also can not be overdoed, obviously 40, 50 years old, even 60 years old always want to play a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl. Unreasonable is one thing, and the audience is also easy to watch and play.
Based on the above points, I actually think that this "Lyceum Theatre" may be able to give you a surprise.
Gong Li, as the first batch of actresses in China to go out of the world, has brought us countless good works over the years, and she will definitely not disappoint us in her acting skills.
The director of this film, Lou Ye, is also a well-known director of literary and art films, and there is still a guarantee in the production standard.
As for the age gap that many people worry about, in fact, there is no need to worry too much in this film. After all, this film is actually a black-and-white movie rarely seen in these years.
This black-and-white picture quality is still very helpful for narrowing the age gap between Gong Li and Zhao Youting.
Moreover, Gong Li's skin state has been maintained really well in the past two years, and when she attended the event with Zhao Youting some time ago, the two of them standing together looked far less exaggerated than many netizens said about mother and son.
Therefore, although I can understand the discomfort of many netizens, I also think that there is no need to sentence this drama to death before watching the movie.
Will fire conclusion -
In fact, no matter what type of love scene, as long as it is filmed well enough, there will be audiences willing to appreciate it.
Men and women of each age will have their own unique charms.
Boys and girls have vitality, like the rising sun in the sky, just looking at it can make people feel youth and beauty. Mature men and women are calm enough, and getting along with them is like bathing in the moonlight, floating on the sea, calm and comfortable.
It is not simple to make a good story between different people, and it is a pity to just use the so-called multi-type love as a gimmick to get attention. Because, in fact, as long as every participant can do their best to do this, it may not be impossible to achieve a work with good reputation.
As a creator, the reason why you have to sink your heart into creating works is not only to be worthy of the audience, but more importantly, to be worthy of yourself.
