The second generation of stars is the lucky one in the entertainment industry, relying on the country laid by their parents, and the starting point of their debut is higher than others.
With human connections, they can easily get into a good crew. Those who have acting skills are fine, but those who do not have acting skills are simply a human disaster.
For example, Yue Yien, the daughter of veteran actor Yue Hong, played a returned medical volunteer in "Emergency Department Doctor", with a general appearance, squeezing his eyebrows and making eyes, forcibly performing, and full of embarrassment.
For example, Yan Ni's daughter Zou Yuanqing, on the stage of "Actors Please Take Place", played Geng Geng in "The Best of Us", facing her first love that she had not seen for seven years, there was no trace of emotional expression on her face, and Chen Kaige summed it up as "a performance that made people indifferent".
Personality and appearance will be inherited, but acting skills are not inherited. Relying on innate resources, he ran rampant in the show business circle, became a dou who could not be supported, and lost the face of his parents.
Of course, the second generation of stars is not all useless, there are a small number of hard-working, talented, in the show business circle by their own ability to occupy a place, such as Dong Zijian, Yang Jiu, Guo Qilin and so on.
This article focuses on analyzing the acting skills of these star second-generation powerful actors, looking at Dong Zijian's acne, Yang Jiu's tears, and how many entertainment industry "star second-generation" fig leaf has been torn off.
The first: Dong Zijian - the ordinary face is enough to portray many stories
Father: Action actor Dong Zhihua
Mother: Wang Jinghua, the first agent of internal entertainment
Representative works: "Youth School", "Mountains and Rivers of the Past", "Great Rivers and Great Rivers"
From the appearance point of view, Dong Zijian is not a handsome man at all, with average height and general facial features, but it is precisely this "general" that makes him like a blank piece of paper, which can depict any color.
Most good actors are not particularly good-looking, too good-looking actors, easy to make people pay attention to his appearance, and thus ignore the role.
Dong Zijian looks average, but there are memory points, the mole on his face makes people focus on his face, and the small and deep eyes often hit people's hearts.
In front of the camera, Dong Zijian is full of spirit, stretching, free and grounded, which is an actor's talent.
In 2013, 20-year-old Dong Zijian made his debut in the wave of youth films, riding the wind of "Youth Faction".
He plays the male protagonist "Actually", a high school junior who failed the college entrance examination and confessed his failure, and re-read in order to chase love.
Dong Zijian's appearance has a sense of youth, wearing a school uniform, playing a high school junior without any sense of violation.
It can be seen that he is a vegan appearance in it, and the acne and pores on his face are ready to come out, which is particularly real.
At the beginning of the shot, he actually broke his tail vertebrae and lay in the hospital for treatment, sweating profusely, green tendons bursting out, full of vicious eyes, clutching the sheets, and every detail filled with "pain".
After the college entrance examination fell off the list, he actually met the previous class teacher in the repeat class, facing the teacher's accusations of his early love past, stubbornly he was full of unconvinced, even if he admitted defeat on the surface, his eyes also emitted a resolute light.
Playing with Qin Hailu, YongMei and other powerful actors, the fledgling Dong Zijian can also catch it, and his performance is naturally traceless, as if he is like a rebellious and hard-working high school student in our youth class.
In "The Old Man of Mountains and Rivers", Dong Zijian becomes Zhang Zhile who lacks maternal love, and his parents' divorce casts a shadow on his soul, and he becomes debauched, alienated and strange from the world.
The biggest highlight of this movie is dong zijian and Zhang Aijia staged the "year-old love", when Mia asked about Zhang Zhile's mother, Zhang Zhile first covered up, when the memory poured into his mind, a tear fell, slowly said a sentence "I have not seen her", this moment, he cried like a child.
Dong Zijian and Zhang Aijia are 40 years apart and have no sense of CP, but Dong Zijian uses his sophisticated acting skills to show the character's desire for love, and the loneliness under the calm appearance is particularly moving.
In "Big River", Yang Tour, played by Dong Zijian, is more infectious, a rural child with a bitter birth, eager to change his fate with his hands. In his humble, small body, there was great power, and this power was transmitted from his eyes.
Yang Patrol wanted to rely on a mouth and Lei Dongbao into eight thousand bundles of wires, which was an unequal transaction, but in order to make money, he held the mentality of trying to find Lei Dongbao. In a simple conversation at the wine table, Yang Tour's uneasy inner activities were all written on the body language.
Unlike the usual pandering fake smile, this time, although he said a kind word on his mouth, the stiff facial muscles and the hands that had nowhere to be placed revealed the tension in his heart.
When Lei Dongbao expressed some of the same thoughts as Yang Tour, he immediately relaxed and breathed a deep sigh of relief in his heart.
With the basis of the previous conversation, Yang Zhu put forward the request to give the goods first, and at this time his tentative and uneasy emotions re-emerged.
After Lei Dongbao recognized Yang Tour's purpose, he blinked, accelerated his speech, and his eyes fluttered, and his heart was written everywhere.
Dong Zijian has a sense of layering when interpreting the role, and every psychological activity of the character is displayed in detail.
From "Youth School" to "Great Rivers and Great Rivers", in less than 10 years of experience, Dong Zijian has completed the transformation from immaturity to maturity.
His acting skills are not so much professional skills as they are natural.
A plain face, far from the spotlight and the crowd, shines with the greatest light in the story. Put him in a human world full of fireworks, there will always be a gripping story.
Jia Zhangke once praised Dong Zijian: "Rare, very free and comfortable actors in front of the camera, without any sense of restraint, have innate potential and talent that cannot be hidden." ”
Second place: Wang Xiao - Gandang green leaves, sharp and exposed
Father: Wang Qun, director of dance drama
Mother: Golden Rooster Shadow Queen Wang Fuli
Representative works: "Circuit Prosecution Group", "Golden Years", "Our Marriage"
Wang Xiao took the road of an actor, and his mother Wang Fuli did not agree, but he studied animation in Canada for 6 years, or decided to return to China to enter the show business circle.
When Wang Xiao debuted, he was already 27 years old, and most actors have been groping and playing in the circle for several years at this age.
Coming from a non-science class, without a beautiful resume, everything can only start from scratch. In the first six or seven years, Wang Xiao had no name, just a dragon suit.
In 2012, after a certain amount of experience, he signed Yang Mi's company and became the golden supporting role of Jiaxing Media. However, traffic dramas such as "Midsummer Evening Sunny Day" and "Three Lives and Three Pillow Books" are not enough for Wang Xiao to show his acting skills.
It was not until the past two or three years, seeing the figure of Wang Xiao in some popular dramas, that everyone suddenly discovered the strength of this star of the second generation.
Wang Xiao's appearance is very memorable, single eyelid small eyes, with angular facial contours, the overall "blunt feeling", shaping the role can be diverse.
Dong Zijian is a talented actor, Wang Xiao is not, he belongs to the type of diligent and clumsy, debuted for more than ten years, has been wandering in various supporting roles, no matter what role, he is solidly completed.
In "Circuit Inspection Group", Wang Xiao plays Shen Guangshun, who has been devastated by life, and in the face of the fact that "his brother killed his daughter", he is angry and entangled in his heart, while trying to appease his mother, he has to face the cruel reality.
Shen Guangshun is complex, he has a silent and irritable extreme personality, but also has the warmth and forbearance as a son.
Wang Xiao's appearance is naturally suitable for such rough characters, and those small eyes that are transparent with light are very in place when conveying nervous, fearful, and tangled emotions.
In the scene of "biting his tongue in order to keep secrets", Wang Xiao only showed one eye, and the audience could read Shen Guangshun's helplessness and determination to be forced to a dead end.
In "There Is You in This Life", Wang Xiao also played a similar role - Sun Zhijun, whose grumpy and savage and hateful personality traits are written in the corners of his mouth and eyes.
As long as Wang Xiao stood there, a look, an expression, a small action, the whole character stood.
In "Flowing Golden Years", Wang Xiao completely subverted the image of "grumpy old brother", and he became Zhu Suosuo's warm boss Yang Ke.
A non-handsome actor, how to play a role that everyone likes, Wang Xiao gave the answer.
Gentle and firm eyes, coupled with slowly spoken lines, with a little sense of humor, make preaching interesting.
Wang Xiao has not received orthodox actor training, but his line skills are first-class, the words are straight, the words are round, full of temperament, and he is particularly infectious when expounding large lines.
Whether it is a decent person or a villain, or a low-level figure or a social elite, Wang Xiao is a person with a thousand faces.
Some time ago, the hit "Our Marriage", Wang Xiao's performance is still outstanding.
He plays Huo Liankai, an elite returnee, highly educated, highly qualified, averagely capable, unmarried, some cowardly, some gossipy.
Wang Xiao's performance is very restrained, but the details are handled just right, making the whole performance full.
There is a scene, after Huo Liankai and Li Xiaotian have a relationship, Huo Liankai finds Li Xiaotian again and prepares to turn the page on this matter, he cooks for Li Xiaotian as usual, but Li Xiaotian says that he has a favorite blind date and asks him not to come again.
Huo Liankai's face showed a hint of embarrassment and heartbreak, but he still pretended to be calm, and after turning around, he sighed softly, and a lonely emotion instantly appeared on his face.
The whole emotional change is very much in line with Huo Liankai's entangled and face-saving personality.
This play has actors with good reputations such as Bai Baihe and Tong Dawei, but Wang Xiao has his own sharp edge and will not be ignored by the audience.
Now that Wang Xiao is over forty years old, he has not ushered in a mid-life crisis, but the drama road is getting wider and wider.
Debuted for so many years, he has been in the position of supporting roles, but he is the most eye-catching green leaf, no small roles, only small actors.
You know, roles with few roles often test actors more, because the causes and consequences of the characters are not explained, and the actors need to increase the thickness of the role with details.
Wang Xiao did it, boiling the supporting roles into fine, he is a well-deserved good actor.
Third place: Zhang Ruoyun - gradually entering a better situation, the future can be expected
Father: Mainland producer and producer Zhang Jian
Stepmother: Film and television actress Liu Bei
Representative works: "Forensic Qin Ming", "Sparrow", "Qing Yu Nian"
Zhang Ruoyun's appearance is highly recognizable in the entertainment industry, with a small face, smooth lines, and a sense of superiority in the photogenic. The eye distance is close, the triangle eyes, the lower eyelids, there is a feeling of mourning and not sadness. The nose has a strong sense of three-dimensionality, the curvature is good, the front face is exquisite, and the side face is expensive.
The mouth is small, the lips are thick, and the downward corners of the mouth echo the eyes, revealing a sense of innocence.
Such a face is placed in the lens, which is not stunning at first glance, but it is very attractive, and it can also be sculpted at will, showing different flavors.
Zhang Ruoyun debuted at the age of 16 and has been shuttling back and forth between idol dramas, Republic of China dramas, and revolutionary dramas.
10 years of experience, 4 years of study, so that Zhang Ruoyun's acting skills "gradually into a better state", in 2016 a hairy outbreak.
That year, Zhang Ruoyun had two popular dramas, namely "Forensic Qin Ming" and "Sparrow", one was a criminal investigation drama and the other was a spy drama.
In "Forensic Qin Ming", Qin Ming, played by Zhang Ruoyun, has strong logical ability, rich experience, introverted personality, and is born with a sense of arrogance.
If you want to perform such a domineering and complex human setting, it is very challenging for the actor's basic skills of "sound stage shape table".
In terms of appearance, the suit is straight, the meticulous hairstyle, with Zhang Ruoyun's tall and capable figure, the aura is compelling.
In terms of sound, Zhang Ruoyun uses his own voice, with moderate speed and low pitch, expressing emotions with tone, this low voice, enriching the character.
In the performance, some viewers complained about Zhang Ruoyun's "facial paralysis", in fact, this is a character setting, a serious forensic doctor will certainly not show too much understanding of the expression, so to present the layered sense of the character can only rely on tone and eyes.
There was drama in his eyes, and in the face of the late arrival of his subordinates, he wrote impatience and disgust in his eyes, which was in line with Qin Ming's rigorous style of doing things.
In "Sparrow", Zhang Ruoyun is an undercover agent lurking in No. 76, and his special identity is doomed to be unable to express his emotions like ordinary people, he is strong in his heart and calm in case of trouble, but his lover is his only weakness. After the plan failed, he and his lover said goodbye with determination on their faces and unwillingness in their eyes.
When he was buried alive, he had an atmosphere of "seeing death as a homecoming", which was despair of the world and calmness about death.
These two introverted, restrained and deep roles have laid the foundation for Zhang Ruoyun's path as a powerful actor.
In "Qing Yu Nian", Zhang Ruoyun completely brought Fan Xian to life. Fan Xian is multi-faceted, both worldly and naïve, both cunning and cute, good and evil, Zhang Ruoyun interpreted it very vividly.
Guo Baokun borrowed the title to play, asked Emperor Qing to remove Fan Xiange from the name of merit and expelled him from Kyoto, Fan Xian listened, first laughed, and showed that he saw through the villain's plan.
Immediately after that, Fan Xian asked unhurriedly, the tone was brisk and dismissive, and the face was helpless and mocking.
In the face of Guo Shao's cunning argument, Fan Xian immediately became serious, his tone was severe, his expression was solemn, and he was bound to argue the truth.
This kind of "rapid face change" interpretation requires the actor to deeply understand the role in order to show a sense of layering.
Compared with old drama bones like Chen Daoming, Zhang Ruoyun naturally has deficiencies, but among actors of the same age, his strength and talent should not be underestimated.
When many actors went to variety shows to harvest traffic, Zhang Ruoyun did not overexpose and consume himself, he was low-key and calm, silently cultivating, and he would be able to become a great instrument in the future.
Fourth place: Yang Jiu - steady and steady, step by step
Father: Yang Lixin, a national first-class actor
Representative works: "Hurry That Year", "Little Husband", "Thirty Only"
Yang Jiu perfectly inherits Yang Lixin's appearance, thick eyebrows, clear angular lines, warm as jade, and the whole body exudes natural sunshine temperament and affinity.
Such a Yang Jie is destined to have a lot of audience popularity, the disadvantage is that there are limitations in character shaping, if you do not encounter a good script, it is easy to be buried.
However, Yang Jiu is destined to find a path of his own, he grew up in the atmosphere of the Beijing People's Art Theater since he was a child, and xu fan, Song Dandan, Pu Cunxin and other old actors have watched him grow up.
Under the influence of art, Yang Jiu decided from high school to take the road of acting, in order to improve his professional knowledge, he first entered the University of Virginia Drama Department, and then he transferred to duke University Theater Department for further study.
Yang Jiu's performance is natural and not eye-catching, but he tastes it carefully and has his own skills.
In 2015, in the drama version of "To Youth", Yang Jiu played the male protagonist Chen Xiaozheng, a complex and changeable character, because of the poor family situation and the pressure exerted by his mother, his personality became lonely and cold, inferior and sensitive.
In love, Chen Xiaozheng is always passive and patient, obviously so eager for love, but like a hedgehog to push each other away.
Yang Jue's version of Chen Xiaozheng has more pyrotechnics than Zhao Youting's version, and there is warmth and pride surging under the cold appearance.
That feeling of "handsome" and "honest" often makes people feel pity.
For example, Zheng Wei moved Chen Xiaozheng's things, Chen Xiaozheng pushed her in a huff, and in the face of Zheng Wei's accusations, the grievances on his face were greater than the anger.
The cleverness of this treatment is that it shows Chen Xiaozheng's love and pity for his beloved things, and his inner attachment.
In "Little Husband", Yang Jiu is a "demon king teenager", with a cheerful and sunny personality, facing Yao Lan, who is 9 years older than himself, he has no remorse and is desperate to pursue.
In the process of chasing love, Lu Xiaobei's small expression from time to time has a special sense of substitution.
For example, Lu Xiaobei gave Yao Lan a birthday, and Yao Lan had not yet agreed to his pursuit, but in the momentary dance steps of the two, Lu Xiaobei was very sweet in his heart, and the word "proud" was written in his eyes on the side.
Yu Feihong is a bit upright in this drama, but Yang Jie seems to be much more relaxed.
Facing the camera can be enough to open yourself and walk into the role without scruples, which is also the talent of the actor.
In the 2020 blockbuster drama "Thirty Only", Yang Jiu's acting skills have matured a lot.
Chen Yu, who he played, had a great contrast before and after, at the beginning he was a typical "straight man", who could not see the needs of his wife, immersed in his own world, taciturn, but soft in heart; after divorcing Zhong Xiaoqin in the back, he gradually realized his shortcomings and opened the "wife chasing" mode.
This kind of contrasting role, in the performance of the most test of the actor's performance of the natural and restrained, the transformation is too big to distort the character, the transformation is too small and does not conform to the human setting, to be just the right pinch to convince the audience.
After Zhong Xiaoqin painfully lost her child, Gu Jia went to the door to comfort her, listening to her wife's crying, chen Yu's eyes in the study were moist, but she quickly put her emotions back. Between the light clouds and the breeze, the restraint and heartache of a married man are displayed.
After Zhong Xiaoqin was disappointed, he filed for divorce and watched her slam the door, Chen Yu tried his best to restrain his emotions, tears crossed his face, and he breathed quickly, he could see that he had guilt about the quarrel he had just had, and he felt incredible about Zhong Xiaoqin's divorce, and he was still thinking carefully about everything that had happened.
After the divorce, seeing Zhong Xiaoyang send Zhong Xiaoqin back, Chen Yu's heart was not a taste, when he tried Zhong Xiaoqin, his eyes were staring at the floor, his facial muscles were tense, and the corners of his mouth moved slightly, all of which were unwilling and loving for Zhong Xiaoqin.
In the 10 years since his debut, Yang Jiu's sense of existence is not strong, perhaps related to his own indisputable personality, but on the road of actor, he maintains enthusiasm.
However, the biggest stumbling block on his development path is the singleness of the role, constantly playing the same type of role, easy to face stereotype.
I hope that in the future, Yang Jiu can broaden the path of drama, step out of the comfort zone, and interpret more types of roles.
Fifth place: Zeng Guoxiang - "Do your best to prove that I don't rely on my father"
Father: Zeng Zhiwei, a big man in the film and television industry
Representative works: "Lover's Whisper", "July and Ansheng", "Young You"
Under the influence of Zeng Zhiwei, Zeng Guoxiang has had a dream of film since he was a child, but his dream is to become a director.
After graduating from the University of Toronto, Canada, Zeng Zhiwei arranged for him to join Chen Kexin's film company, although he was a "related household", but the work he had to do was not less.
Starting from the simplest field record, he was responsible for recording the shooting content and shooting time on the set, and had to observe whether the camera would wear a gang.
It's just that behind the scenes, it is not possible to touch the core part of the movie, so Zeng Guoxiang has become a supporting role, running dragon sets in films such as "DreamWorks", "Flying Tiger Expedition", and "Lao Kasa".
After nearly 10 years on the set, Zeng Guoxiang finally made his first film "Lover's Whispers", and he invited Eason Chan, Lin Jiaxin, Fan Xiaoxuan and others to tell the entangled love story between five pairs of men and women.
This script was written by Zeng Guoxiang and Yin Zhiwen together, and the two planned for several years, touching stones across the river in terms of funds, and finally finishing the film.
For the first time directing, Zeng Guoxiang was nominated for the Golden Horse Award, but he was still slightly immature in his shooting techniques and story narration.
Six years later, Zeng Guoxiang reappeared with "July and Ansheng", and in the flooded clear film, he played a picture of Wang Explosion.
Zeng Guoxiang's sword took a sideways approach, weakening the dog blood bridge section of the youth movie, focusing on the emotions between girls and girls.
The ambiguous atmosphere of the whole movie wants to say that Hugh will vent the emotions of the characters to the extreme.
Compared with the original work, the content on the screen enriches the details, coupled with the aesthetic sense of picture, portraying the pulling and tying of women's emotions.
This film sent Zhou Dongyu and Ma Sichun to the throne of the film queen, the "11th Chinese Youth Film Forum" Annual Emerging Filmmaker Award.
Among male directors, Zeng Guoxiang is particularly delicate, especially in the portrayal of feminist colors, he seems to be particularly old and unusual.
"Young You", released in 2019, made Zeng Guoxiang once again surprise the public.
Unlike previous films that show "school violence", Zeng Guoxiang focuses on the thinking and interaction between society and teenagers, adults and teenagers.
With more than 1.5 billion at the box office, it has sparked a phenomenal discussion that makes "school violence" no longer a personal problem, but a social problem.
Zeng Guoxiang mentioned in an interview with Bazaar Films:
"Hopefully, some people's ideas and values can change a little after watching the movie, at least not to feel that the fate of others is completely irrelevant to themselves, and not to remain indifferent to the harm suffered by others." Sometimes we reach out and help others when they need it, and the world gets a little bit better. ”
Obviously, Zeng Guoxiang's pattern and vision are very large, and he extends the fate of the two teenagers to the issue of the whole society, which is of historical significance.
In terms of shooting techniques, Zeng Guoxiang is still meticulous, like blood-like red ink, broken huts, and cold tones, all of which are slowly telling the story.
Every layout, every prop, is thought-provoking and full of characters.
"Young You" was more successful than "July and Ansheng", winning the Academy Award, the Hundred Flowers Award, and the Golden Rooster Award.
This year Zeng Guoxiang was 40 years old, and he used 20 years of hard work to get rid of the aura of the second generation of stars and prove who he was, not whose son.
summary
These 5 second generations of stars have all used their own strength to prove the life of not fighting daddy.
Their success did not happen overnight, but in the long years, step by step.
The actor's path is very glamorous to outsiders, but in front of the camera, there can be no sloppiness and timidity.
Many people complain about the second generation of stars in the entertainment industry, thinking that they are not worthy, in the final analysis, they still lack the patience and perseverance of precipitation.
From Dong Zijian to Zeng Guoxiang, they have embarked on a convincing path of the second generation of stars, no cutouts, no perfunctory, only the best efforts and low-key pragmatism.
I hope that the entertainment industry can have more such good actors, so that the entire interpretation ecology can be benignly developed.
