In the past two years, the theme of "middle girl" has shown a trend of dominating the screen, and it has aroused heated discussion when it was broadcast.
The front foot of the CCTV opening year drama "The World" starring Yin Tao has just ended in flames.
Haiqing's new drama "Heart Residence" has been broadcast on Oriental Satellite TV, Zhejiang Satellite TV and iQiyi on March 17, and ended on April 4.
At the same time, Yuan Quan also faced a mid-life crisis in the noon drama "Meet the Season", and together with Lei Jiayin, he and Lei Jiayin jointly resolved the contradictions of world hatred.
Bai Baihe did not rest, and opened "Our Marriage" with Tong Dawei, re-examining the meaning of marriage.
It can be said that since the beginning of this year, the middle-aged actress sisters have been working hard and opened the screen domination mode with various themes of film and television works as the carrier.
Remember just 3 years ago, at the closing ceremony of the 13th FIRST Youth Film Festival in 2019, Haiqing's remarks of "directors, please give 'middle-aged actresses' more opportunities" sounded the crisis of middle-aged actresses in the show business circle.
But now that I look back and think about it, it's the sisters who are still active on the screen.
Middle-aged actresses at all levels have their own "killer skills".
For example, Zhou Xun, who broke through the "aging" dilemma in "Xiao MinJia" and was contaminated with "pyrotechnic gas", can replace the audience with frequent tears with still water flowing deep acting skills.
Her acting skills naturally do not need much praise, and she has always been well-known.
Another example is Qin Hailu, who also shows the mottled humanity of female overlords from "Xiao MinJia".
In the first half of his life, he was a professional in literary and art films, and his appearance was unconventional plus the performance of the performance, Qin Hailu could always portray those warm little characters in the film as flesh and blood, and deservedly "literary and artistic goddess".
In recent years, he has turned to the television circle, and with the role of fairy grass in "White Deer Plain", it has become a screen classic.
In particular, the scene where Xian Cao asked Bai Jiaxuan for a coffin when he was infected with the plague made countless viewers cry in front of the screen.
In "There Are Trees in the South", Qin Hailu played the role of "Anning" to every detail.
The domineering and slightly paranoid character personality she has created has also provided a new direction for film and television creation.
Let the Mesozoic actresses not necessarily have to fall into the short trap of the mother-in-law's mother-in-law's parents, and it is a good realization of the Mesozoic counterattack.
"The World of Man" is a good team that is rare in ten years, and some people will feel that Yin Tao's luck is good, and good actors and good roles have met and caught up.
But from the beautiful and pure oriental sound in "The Sky of History" to the clever and clever Luo Yuzhu in "Chicken Feathers Fly to the Sky", there is Zheng Juan, who is stoic and kind, soft and rigid in "The World".
Speaking of "The World of People", there is also Song Jia, who is an independent woman who has tasted all the flavors of life in "The World of People", and a royal sister in the workplace in "Dress".
In recent years, Song Jia has the most existential middle-aged actress in the Chinese film industry.
In "Curiosity Kills the Cat", she is a young and beautiful nail salon hair washer, when Xiao San loves thoroughly, completely enough to be dead for love.
In "Breaking into Kanto", she went up the mountain, went to the water field, and became a bandit.
In "Xiao Hong", she ran away from home and survived tenaciously.
In "Master", she is independent and proud, beautiful and sexy.
In "A Cloud Made of Rain in the Wind", she spans a huge range and tastes the joys and sorrows of women.
In the ranks of middle-aged actresses, Song Jia is a relatively "old-school" actor, who always likes to say "our time".
"The drama of our time was to really make the audience like that work and that character. A good actor should hide behind a character. ”
When it comes to the crisis of middle-aged actresses, she does not have a little sense of crisis, "Age is a number for me, plus I am not good at math, not very literate." ”
That's it — sa.
If the above few have been in the head circle and have taken advantage of resources, then Liu Lin is purely relying on strength.
The well-known excellent blockbuster works "Parental Love", "We Are Young", "Do You Know If It Should Be Green Fat Red Skinny", "The Hidden Corner", "The Age of Awakening" are indispensable to this excellent golden supporting role.
Liu Lin, who became popular with the role of "Big Lady" in "Know It or Not", was affectionately known as "Grumpy Little Cute" by everyone, liu Lin was 44 years old that year, some flowers have been thanked, her flowers have only bloomed, and it has been a full 25 years since her debut.
Many years after "The Hidden Corner", a scene that can remain in the hearts of the audience must be inventoried to "drink milk". There are almost no lines, and the fragility, resentment, self-esteem, and inferiority of a paranoid mother, and the relationship between the child as if they were gazing into each other's abyss, are all gone.
The director of "The Hidden Corner" said that Liu Lin is her idol, female enlightenment, she herself said, see yourself, see others, will not be wrapped up.
The middle-aged actress who is not wrapped up in Wu Yue was "scolded" by netizens on the hot search for playing a harmless little three image in "The First Half of My Life".
Whether it is the disguised low eyebrows, intentional or unintentional temptations, anger and grievances after being suppressed, the weakness of the heart after framing others, and the panic after being discovered, they are all portrayed in three points.
If it were not for "The First Half of My Life", I believe that many young audiences would not have noticed the actor Wu Yue.
As early as 1997, the 25-year-old Wu Yue became the dream lover of his father's generation with the role of a playful military reporter in "The Age of Peace".
Who would have thought that 20 years later, the 45-year-old Wu Yue would once again be noticed for playing a character who subverted her previous image.
The middle-aged sisters are simply like the Encore of the concert, entering the bottleneck period of film and television, have returned to the scene, everyone found that Ginger is still old spicy; in the name of acting, the 101PK of the middle-aged actress has come, and it is wonderful to tear on the screen.
Looking back at the past, these middle-aged actresses, who didn't have some black material? But looking at the characters they create, those side materials, who really cares?
The former Bai Baihe was exposed as "one finger Zen" in 2017, and Zhuo Wei commented that "Wang Luodan's laughter can be heard in the West Third Ring Road".
At that time, Wang Luodan and Bai Baihe could be described as the limelight, and both of them belonged to the same route from appearance to person setting, and both of them specialized in "little chick film and television dramas".
Unfortunately, after 2017, there was very little publicity about Bai Baihe, and it was only in the past two years that he returned to the screen.
After his return, he still captured a group of hardcore new fans with his excellent, reliable and pleasing acting skills, highly referenced fashion wear, and transparent true temperament.
In fact, if there is no "one finger Zen" thing, she is the first ten billion actress in internal entertainment. But by the time the audience learns the truth of the matter, the glorious era that belongs to her has long passed.
But it doesn't matter, she can still start from 0 and work hard for herself. Poke at the old text and look at Bai Baihe's efforts over the years. "Bai Baihe disappeared for more than 1,000 days to interpret "like being buried alive": How big is the risk of being a full-time housewife in China? "Does it matter whether Bai Baihe has two children or not?" 》
In the third episode of the "Hear Her Say" series, "Insomniac Dream", Bai Baihe played a housewife trapped by married life, and vividly interpreted the state of "like being buried alive".
In a 2017 film directed by Guan Jinpeng, "Eight Women and One Drama", the attention and rating of the film itself are not high, but the reviews are mostly affirmations of Bai Baihe's acting skills.
After experiencing the ups and downs of life experience, she was taught a harsh lesson by life, and recognized that acting skills are the right thing.
In the new drama "Our Marriage", Bai Baihe once again used the middle-aged married life of a full-time mother to perform the unspeakable pain of many women.
In a sense, this drama can be said to be tailor-made for Bai Baihe.
All along, Bai Baihe has been good at interpreting this kind of urban woman with a little eccentricity and a little stubbornness, but with the change of years, the urban chick Huang Xiaoxian of that year has also become today's urban mother Shen Comet.
In China, there is hardly a second actress who can control the urban light comedy genre, and Bai Baihe relies on his own uniqueness, which is still irreplaceable in this circle.
On the other hand, Wang Luodan, who also entered the ranks of middle-aged actresses, has long since lost her time to check on this person, and netizens still think that she has "withdrawn from the circle".
Yuan Quan, in recent years, has also relied on many clean, refreshing, rational, independent professional female elite roles to finally usher in the dawn of his career.
This middle-aged acting school Qingyi, recognized as the "queen of drama", finally ushered in the most beautiful spring of his acting career.
But before that, the biggest discussion point in Yuan Quan's body was the emotional history of being separated from Xia Yu. To discuss her work, I can't really think of it immediately when I look back on the past.
In 2019, Yuan Quan spent his 42nd birthday in the "Three Joys Linmen".
The box office of "Captain China", in which she starred, has exceeded 2.5 billion, and Xu Zheng's Spring Festival blockbuster "囧Mom" announced that she will serve as the heroine, which coincides with her birthday again.
Xia Yu, the husband of the once unparalleled emperor of the film, also sent his own congratulations on time: brilliant as spring, as bright as the autumn moon, as frightening as a flood, as graceful as a dragon, graceful as a dragon, graceful and graceful, peaceful and comfortable.
But today, where is the shadow of summer rain in the showbiz circle?
Xia Yu's recent film and television work "My Heart Is Flying" has also received numerous bad reviews because of Meng Meiqi, but putting aside The factor of Meng Meiqi, the quality of this work alone cannot withstand scrutiny.
In fact, it has nothing to do with men and women, who goes to the end, they have to rely on strength.
Some middle-aged actresses such as Yang Rong, Hu Jing, Huan Xi, Wang Yuanke, Ni Hongjie, Wen Zhengrong, etc. can only compete for exposure on variety shows such as "I Am an Actor" and "Sister Riding the Wind and Waves" to try to save the country.
However, the follow-up development situation is still not optimistic, and the heat attracted by the short time of the program will be rapidly lost with the end, and the help to the performance and career is not large.
But you look at Lin Xinru, there has been no news in these years, after Zhao Wei and Fan Bingbing are all prosperous and will decline, she has come to today, and the 48-year-old is full of firepower.
Turning to the backstage to grasp the right to create works and perform roles, leading another group of middle-aged actresses to fire again with "The First Light".
And when she said that she hyped her husband, did Huo Jianhua now have any other sense of existence in addition to showing his face in his wife's drama?
No one has to complain about the cruelty of this circle, the world has always been high risk accompanied by high returns, it is cruel because it gives you the greatest reward.
The essence behind the showbiz and entertainment industry is more like a game of power, but as an actor selected by the capital, only when he has enough right to speak, he can have more choices, otherwise he can only be selected like a commodity.
(Mei Ting and Chen Shu once spoke out for Mesozoic actresses, saying that "the real big actors are all Mesozoic")
Pay attention to the middle-aged female family, love, and present middle-aged women's dramas are definitely more, which middle-aged actresses have caught?
Zhou Xun, Yin Tao, Qin Hailu, Haiqing, Wu Yue, Yuan Quan, Bai Baihe, as well as Tan Zhuo, Yong Mei, Yan Bingyan, Yao Chen...
Those actresses who have experience and temperament, professionalism and aura, give the role enough complexity, and experience enough years have seized it, and those who always want to engage in human design, sell variety show traffic, and engage in live broadcasting to make quick money have not seized.
There is no need to complain, there is no need to sell miserably, in another way, the world has always been so fair.
