In recent years, the number of film and television works has increased, but the quality has not improved or maintained, but the overall trend has declined. Of course, there are many reasons for this phenomenon, in addition to the overall strength of young actors' acting skills is not solid, but also has a lot to do with the story foundation, there are some objective reasons, such as a play time span is too long, how the main actors from young to middle-aged or even old, the handling of this detail is a test of the director's skills and the ability of the actors.
Before there are young actors from young to old, there have been successful examples, in addition to changes in makeup styling, but also test the skills of actors, such as Pan Yingzi Liu Xiaoqing before the interpretation of Wu Zetian's life is not bad, but later young actors are difficult to do this, several versions of Wu Zetian are not classic.
There are also older actors who have played roles for decades, and the early stage is also playing tender, but the later stage is gradually getting better, and it is not very contrary before, such as the original Liu Peiqi Siqin Gaowa Chen Baoguo performed "The Gate of the Big House", the first part of the plot also has a tender, but the acting skills are good, the shape is not exaggerated, the audience does not mind and complain, but now the middle-aged and elderly actors are not happy, not only the makeup is dressed up against the harmony, the early performance is also too strong and contradictory, and the audience complains continuously, such as Liu Jialing, Zhang Ziyi, Liu Tao and other young people who have been disliked by the audience over the years.
So now many dramas have begun to use two actors to play the same role, although a little forced, but the effect is really worse, such as the previous Li Shaohong director of the new version of "Dream of the Red Chamber", the role of Jia Baoyu age span is not large, but used for Xiao Tong Yang Yang two actors to interpret, before and after quite separated. The recently broadcast TV series "Mountains and Rivers Moon Ming", which has been filmed for several years, is also the case.
In "Mountains and Rivers Moon Ming", the male number one protagonist is Zhu Di, mainly writing his life, from youth to middle age and even old age, the age span is larger, so it is understandable in theory to arrange different stages of Cheng Yi and Feng Shaofeng to play Zhu Di, but from the actual effect, it is still a bit unacceptable.
At the beginning of the play, Zhu Di was already a young adult, and when he reached the age of talking about marriage, he was considered an adult in ancient times. The content of the previous episodes, played by Cheng Yi as Zhu Di, is also appropriate. At that time, Zhu Di was still relatively young and impulsive, and Cheng Yi's appearance and temperament were right, but the performance was slightly restrained, not too relaxed, and even a little dull, not enough spirit.
However, a few years ago, Cheng Yi was not popular, plus his age was not too old, and his image temperament and even acting skills were not calm enough, so at that time, he was out of the game in a few episodes, and Feng Shaofeng took over the baton.
Although Feng Shaofeng, who is middle-aged, to interpret Zhu Di's role from marriage in his twenties to the later stage, the age coincides, and the dress temperament is not contrary, and it is also more mature and calm than Cheng Yi, and it is closer to the temperament of the emperor and general. But Feng Shaofeng's image temperament and acting skills are slightly greasy. And from Cheng Yi to Feng Shaofeng, a second of switching, the contrast between the two is too big, it is inevitable to make people feel violating the harmony and jumping drama.
