A good actor is often the guarantee of the success of a "good role", but even a good actor does not mean that any role can be played.
Jiang Wen almost made a big joke in this regard.
In 1991, Jiang Wen passed by Hong Kong, producer Xu Feng asked him to have dinner with him, and at the dinner table she talked about the new film "Farewell to the King" that was being prepared, and asked Jiang Wen if he was interested in playing duan Xiaolou, the "King of Chu Ba".
The 28-year-old Jiang Wen was very quick to say: "I am really not interested in playing the Chu Bawang, but the role of Cheng Dieyi, I would like to try." ”
Xu Feng on the side couldn't help but laugh out loud, and Jiang Wen still asked incomprehensibly: "Who said that I can't play Yu Ji like this?" ”
Later, after Jiang Wen told this story himself, it caused a hot discussion on the Internet.
The public agreed that it was right not to let Jiang Wen play at that time, and if Jiang Wen really played Cheng Dieyi, this role would most likely be "destroyed".
After all, Jiang Wen has a rough appearance and a straightforward personality, while Cheng Dieyi looks feminine and has a delicate heart, and there is a natural gap between the two from the inside to the outside, and no matter how good the acting skills are, they cannot be filled.
Jiang Wen's story also proves one point:
When actors take over the role, they must weigh the role well and cannot be "blindly confident".
the scalp, even if the acting skills are superb, the results are often difficult to say.
Today, Pigo will talk to you about the "strength" actor, but because of the "wrong choice" role, the result is more than an embarrassing 10 actors.
Let's see what they have suffered separately, what kind of "Waterloo", and where their respective problems are.
We're still starting with number 10 —
10. Yin Tao ("Happiness Duo" as Liao Sha, "The Ideal Life of Love" as Wen Ruxue)
Yin Tao graduated from the military arts, came from drama, and is a typical domestic power actress who is "more popular than people".
This year's "Human World", let Yin Tao red all over the country, in the eyes of the audience, this year's many awards have been "booked in advance" by Yin Tao.
But in fact, in the month before "The World of Man", the 43-year-old Yin Tao was suffering from the biggest crisis since she was an artist.
Because she starred in a "Happiness Duo".
This is an urban workplace life drama, in which Yin Tao starred as the female number one Liao Sha.
LiaoSha has a tough personality and is a well-deserved sales elite at work, one person rushing forward with the whole team. But as soon as she arrived at home, she ate the "wolf nature", and her husband's "slow heat" made her only accept silently.
Unexpectedly, a sudden change in work made Liao Sha "fall to Pingyang", and since then the peace of the husband and wife relationship has also been broken, and crises have ensued.
Objectively speaking, the actors who play Yin Tao are not weak, Sun Yizhou, Yuan Hong, Zeng Li...
However, after the episode was broadcast, the reputation took a sharp turn, and Yin Tao's audience popularity was also hit a lot.
Now that we look back, the fundamental problem is that Yin Tao chose a role that was not suitable for herself.
In terms of temperament, Yin Tao is not suitable for playing the role of "strong woman in the workplace". It may also be that there are too many period dramas, and Yin Tao does not know how to deal with the emotional problems of the modern workplace elite for a while.
In addition, in "Happiness Duo", the script designed a lot of inexplicable female small emotions, which not only contradicted the character itself, but also caused the character of LiaoSha to feel divided in the family and workplace.
Some inexplicable small expressions and the anxious nature of this role also make Yin Tao's acting skills nowhere to play.
Similar problems are reflected in the TV series "The Ideal Life of Love" starring Yin Tao in 2021.
This drama is based on "Pink Girl", And Wen Ruxue, played by Yin Tao, is aimed at "Ten Thousand Charms".
Yin Tao's appearance and temperament do not belong to the category of sexy and uninhibited and advocating timely fun.
Especially when watching the play, the audience will inevitably pull her together with the old version of Chen Hao's "Ten Thousand Charms", which is naturally timid.
Throughout Yin Tao's acting career, what she is best at is indeed the period drama.
This "natural fit" also has a lot to do with her looks.
Her facial features are exquisite, her eyes are bright, and her two shallow dimples highlight the unique oriental beauty of classical Chinese beauty.
This is destined to yin tao to have a better performance in the era drama, especially when encountering the kind of role of patience and restraint, and can maximize the acting skills.
Zheng Juan in "The World of Man" is typical.
Under the performance of Yin Tao, Zheng Juan, who has a lot of fate but is hard-working and hard-working, is simply a model of a virtuous wife.
Luo Yuzhu in "Chicken Feathers Fly to the Sky" also feels this way.
But this kind of physiognomy is put into urban dramas, and with those modern earthly farces, it is directly cut off without a trace.
We always say that "good dramas are undefeated and beautiful", but Yin Tao and modern workplace dramas show obvious dissatisfaction, returning to the era drama and choosing their own suitable roles may be the best choice for Yin Tao.
09. Zhang Ziyi (Shangyang Fu as Wang Yan)
Zhang Ziyi's acting skills are naturally beyond doubt, and all actors who have experienced the experience of the big screen are generally "dimensionality reduction blows" on the small screen.
But last year, a "Shangyang Fu", why did she pull her performance reputation to the lowest trough?
Looking closely at Zhang Ziyi in "Shangyang Fu", there are two most obvious problems.
The first is the failure of casting.
The role of Wang Yan, played by Zhang Ziyi in "Shangyang Fu", has a large age span, and the opening "And Zhen Da Li" is that the girl is 15 years old, and Zhang Ziyi is 43 years old.
Because there is no selection of young actors, zhang Ziyi directly plays the role of this young girl, which will inevitably appear contrary.
In order to highlight Wang Yan's girlish feeling, Zhang Ziyi had to make a lot of performance actions to sell cute and tender, but it made the audience play more, and also lowered Zhang Ziyi's performance standard.
The second is Zhang Ziyi's performance habits.
There is an essential difference between TV dramas and movies, Zhang Ziyi is a big-screen actor, she is known for her "content" in her eyes, and a look can help the audience to spy on the inner world of the character and know the complex life and experience of the character.
Therefore, we can often see zhang Ziyi's eyes and expressions in the film, the eyes are cold, not very focused, the expression is serious, and there is a story when you look at it.
But TV dramas are different from movies.
The NARRATIVE OF THE TV SERIES IS SLOW, THERE IS NOT MUCH WHITE SPACE, THE PLOT IS FULL, ESPECIALLY THE CHARACTER EXPERIENCE IS MORE DETAILED AND SUFFICIENT, AND THEN USE THIS KIND OF TABLE ACTING METHOD, IT WILL APPEAR STIFF AND GODLESS, MAKING PEOPLE JUMP THE DRAMA.
However, in "Shangyang Fu", Zhang Ziyi did not change his performance method, resulting in being ridiculed as "like a blind person".
In the atmosphere of other actors performing outside and opening and closing, Zhang Ziyi is like a different kind, saying soft and weak lines, holding a marionette-like expression, and cannot see the ups and downs of the characters' emotions, and it loses its vividness.
Movies and TV series are always different art genres, and they vary greatly.
Actors who are accustomed to big screen performances must choose a good role when participating in TV series, do their homework, and do not be like Zhang Ziyi, who obviously has the strength to perform, but he can step on a big pit.
08, Yang Zishan ("Two Conjectures of Marriage" as Shen Mingbao)
Although Yang Zishan is not an actor in the acting class, her appearance is very characteristic, her eyebrows are curved, her smile is very sweet, her personal image is very healing, and she has the characteristics of a first love girl.
Because of this appearance feature, she frequently starred in youth romance films at the beginning of her debut, and became completely famous in 2013 with the role of Zheng Wei.
Among the non-science actors, Yang Zishan's performance is still remarkable, there is no superfluous expression and action, the line skills are good, and the crying scene is also very infectious.
However, this year, in the urban emotional drama "Two Conjectures of Marriage", Shen Mingbao, a professional woman played by Yang Zishan, overturned the car.
The rollover of this role is not very much related to Yang Zishan's performance, and the problem lies in the setting of Shen Mingbao's role.
"Two Conjectures of Marriage" is a collection of urban dog blood, in order to provoke the topic, crazy to the male protagonist to stack the scum male Buff, which led to shen Mingbao, a professional woman, completely distorted.
In his career, Shen Mingbao worked in the company for ten years, and the case he worked hard to do was cut off by the boss, but he was powerless and could only be bullied.
In the family, she and her husband met occasionally on blind dates and got married in four months.
When she first fell in love, she not only forgave the male protagonist's presumptuousness and stayed with him, but also decided to get married through a ridiculous test software.
After marriage, her husband was indifferent to his various "labels" and was almost sent to "female Durban".
She not only accepted the "sister" born to a third party from her husband's father, but also abused her mother-in-law in various ways. Pregnant to work hard, just miscarriage was sneered at by her husband...
In terms of social relations, I found a rich second-generation girlfriend, who will be stomped on by self-esteem at every turn, and after stepping on it, I will immediately reconcile with what is not like, which makes people scratch their heads.
The audience's malice towards the role of "Shen Mingbao" is not from Yang Zishan's performance, but from the exaggeration of the plot, the distortion of the characters, and the dog blood that deliberately creates marriage and family conflicts.
Of course, for Yang Zishan, a role like Shen Mingbao is undoubtedly consuming their own audience popularity, because the audience will involuntarily associate the actor and the role when watching the play.
Therefore, in the future, I choose the script to pick, or I should have a snack, especially for Yang Zishan, who has just become pregnant, which is easy to cause her own career crisis.
07. Yuan Quan ("The Season of Encounter" as Ning You)
In recent years, Yuan Quan has had many brilliant big-screen roles, such as the purser in "Captain China" and Director Wen in "Chinese Doctor", all of which have left a deep impression on the audience.
It's just that in this year's new drama "Meet the Season", Yuan Quan, who acted with Lei Jiayin, also overturned.
Yuan Quan's performance in the play itself is not a big problem, and the point of overturning the car mainly lies in the person set by the heroine "Ning You".
Ning Yu is an extremely contradictory and complex character, and also bears the biggest dog blood in the whole play.
First look at the setting, Ning You from Anhui Linshui to Shanghai to work, is a strong woman in the urban workplace, gold collar treatment, annual salary of 2 million.
But under this series of splendors, all the character relationships surrounding her are absurd to the extreme.
Ning You's father died unexpectedly and prematurely in his early years, and his younger brother obviously had good prospects, but he went crazy and wanted to take revenge in extreme ways;
The husband not only eats soft rice, but also a cheating scumbag, and his first love, Jian Hongcheng, is the son of his father's enemy.
Looking down at this circle, you will find that there is not a normal person around Ning Yu... Playing such a role is really bitter Yuan Quan, in addition to the acting method of forbearance and restraint, bitter and vengeful, how can he act?
Of course, objectively speaking, Yuan Quan's performance is no problem, the eyes have content, and the crying scene has an atmosphere, but this role is indeed too fake, and whoever plays it will make the audience tired.
"Meet the Season" is a drama of the noonday sun and one of the worst-rated dramas this year.
Originally a high-concept family revenge, it eventually became a dog blood parent short.
If the noonday sun continues the quality of this play, it will not only ruin its own reputation, but also ruin the good actors.
06, Tong Yao ("Heart Residence" as Gu Qingyu)
In 2020 and 2021, tong yao will be in the limelight for a while.
However, in this year's new drama "Heart Residence", Gu Qingyu, played by Tong Yao, has been controversial and has been complained about countless times.
Counting in detail, there are two reasons why the audience complains.
First of all, the character itself has various problems.
As an urban gold collar, Gu Qingyu's biggest hobby is to "mix" with her brother's family affairs, which eventually led to the breakdown of her relationship with her sister-in-law and the death of her brother.
When dealing with suitors, she neither rejects nor accepts, and accepts all the good of others with a straight face, but kicks others away when she encounters her first love.
The role of Gu Qingyu is originally a delicate egoist, and this kind of petty bourgeois selfish woman is the most disgusting to the audience.
The character's character design made Tong Yao suffer a loss, but on the contrary, it was Haiqing who played with her.
This is also the second reason why Gu Qingyu overturned the car, and the performance is difficult to say.
Tong Yao gives people the feeling that she is very familiar with the performance mode of urban drama female gold collar, she has a lot of strange, let people feel that it is a well-designed small action, let people play, such as smiling.
In the scene where his brother died, the acting skills were even crushed by Haiqing, and the moment he heard his brother die, watching Tong Yao's performance, he told the audience with a vicious expression, "I am sad", "I want to die sadly".
Look at the father played by Jie Bing, and the wife played by Hai Qing, who is high and low.
The first reaction to hearing the unexpected death of a loved one is shock, disbelief, and by no means putting on a "mask of pain" to squeeze tears.
Looking at Tong Yao's performance alone, it seems that there is nothing, and compared with the drama bone, there is a big difference.
Tong Yao is not without acting skills, but urban dramas have acted more, and the acting method has entered a simple and rough routine and routine.
If it is not changed, Tong Yao's play path will inevitably become narrower and narrower in the future.
05. Lei Jiayin ("Whistleblower" as Ma Ke, "Meet the Season" as Jian Hongcheng)
Lei Jiayin is the hottest actor in the past two years, with "Meritorious Service", "Human World" and "Meeting Season" on the small screen, and "Assassination of a Novelist" and "Antiques Bureau Central Bureau" on the big screen, which can be described as "big and small blossoms".
Since his debut in 2004, it has been a full 10 years before Lei Jiayin gradually became famous, "The Great Gold Robbery" was a turning point in his career, and "The Twelve Hours of Chang'an" was a real leap in his career.
Lei Jiayin's image is very recognizable, the head is large, the face is not obvious, the facial features are soft, the eyes are like water, especially when with emotions, it is very capable of making people enter the play.
In "The First Half of My Life", he played the scumbag Chen Junsheng, and even people can't hate it.
This also dooms Lei Jiayin to have the highest fit with a type of role, that is, a person with a little honesty and kindness, a little humor, not dazzling or aggressive, but able to change the situation by relying on his gradually accumulated energy.
For example, Yu Min in "Meritorious Service".
A wish in Antiques Central.
There is also Zhou Bingkun in "The World of Man".
But for those characters who are full of sharpness and have their own aura as soon as they appear, for Lei Jiayin's performance, it is a side effect.
In the past two years, Lei Jiayin's most obvious failure roles are two, one is Ma Ke in "Whistleblower" and the other is Jian Hongcheng in "Meet the Season".
The problem with Ma Ke is that in a film that focuses on crime and suspense, and is full of elements of various commercial genres, too many emotional scenes are inserted.
Crime and love go hand in hand in the film, and the expression and theme of the characters are devastating.
We can often see such a shot, one second Lei Jiayin is still talking with affection, and the next second he is driving a car you chase me to be chased and chased.
And Lei Jiayin is the kind of actor who needs time to create the charm of the character, and the film is set up like this, and the impact on his performance is devastating.
In "Meet the Season", Lei Jiayin appeared in a domineering posture.
There are many contradictions between the personal qualities conveyed by his usual expressions and acting skills, and the characteristics of the character itself.
It is difficult for you to judge from Lei Jiayin's words and deeds, whether this is an honest person, or a scheming person, whether the style of acting is fierce, or boiled frog in warm water.
Because of the influence of this trait, the audience expressed discomfort with Lei Jiayin's role.
Of course, this is not just Lei Jiayin's problem, but for him, the more popular the drama, the more he needs to know what is more suitable for him.
Sometimes change, breakthrough, transformation, for actors does not mean good, especially actors such as Lei Jiayin.
04, Chen Jianbin ("Journey without Confusion" as Ma Levin, "Love Me Don't Think Too Much" as Li Honghai)
Chen Jianbin graduated from Chinese opera, which is a rare graduate degree among actors.
In the early years, Chen Jianbin was not well-known, and after starring in "Ten Years of Marriage" in 2003 and winning the Feitian Award, he gradually became well known to the audience.
Because of his low-key and humble personality, Chen Jianbin has not been popular for so many years, but he has starred in many hot dramas.
From Qiao Zhiyong in "Qiao Family Compound" to Cao Cao in "The New Three Kingdoms" to the emperor in "The Biography of Zhen Huan", Chen Jianbin used three plays to push himself into the ranks of domestic first-line movie stars.
In 2014, he wrote and directed "A Spoon", and also got the Golden Horse Film Emperor, which was the limelight for a while.
However, Chen Jianbin's acting skills are also provocative, and the tide of praise does not cover up his acting shortcomings, especially in modern dramas, this shortcoming is exposed.
Chen Jianbin's performance has a very significant feature, when he shapes the character, he is generally slower and warmer, there are few emotional outbursts, mainly the role of life and historical drama, and Chen Jianbin's lines are quite distinctive, the sentence is strange, with a little accent, and there is little accent.
This characteristic is a plus for period dramas and historical figure dramas, after all, there is little overlap with modern life.
Once placed in love dramas and workplace dramas, the gap comes out.
In "The Journey of No Confusion", Chen Jianbin played the role of Malevin, a bookstore owner, but the image is full of Internet celebrity and relatively greasy.
Especially Chen Jianbin, who has entered the modern era, has no beard and costume decoration, and the image shortcomings are exposed, whether it is loose skin or double chin, which makes the audience feel uncomfortable.
And in this drama, Chen Jianbin's serious expression of "poker face" has no room to play, resulting in insufficient emotional communication and exposing the shortcomings of the drama road.
Of course, in "Love Me Don't Think Too Much", Chen Jianbin's role is also such a problem.
The premise of the love between the uncle and the little girl is that the uncle is handsome enough and enough to enter the eyes, but look at Chen Jianbin's appearance, which makes people play in an instant.
And compared with "The Journey of No Confusion", Chen Jianbin has not even changed his hairstyle, and it is easy for the audience who has watched two dramas to string the stage.
These two dramas have also made the discussion of "whether Chen Jianbin's acting skills are overrated" once again be raised.
Among the powerful actors, not all actors have a wide play path and strong plasticity, and at this point, Chen Jianbin does have shortcomings.
What kind of image to play what kind of drama, either insist on fitness and weight loss to change the hairstyle, improve their suitability with the role, or take the costume scene to play their own role.
Not only do not want to make changes, but also want to get a good reputation, in the current development of social media, it is almost impossible.
03. Lan Yingying ("North And South" as Bao Xue)
Lan Yingying has acting skills, and the most familiar to the audience should be the role of Huanbi she played in "The Biography of Zhen Huan".
Huanbi is a fierce character, who has both heart and means, and is disgusted by people outside the food.
The image of Lan Yingying in the play looks harmless to people and animals, but when she uses the means, it makes people hate and itch their teeth, which belongs to the typical characters who rely on the sense of contrast.
However, facts have also proved that because of the drama bones of Sun Li and Chen Jianbin, Lan Yingying seems to be only suitable for shaping this very brilliant supporting role, and when she takes over the role of female number one herself, she obviously feels that she lacks mental strength.
In "North and South", she played an unknown small actor Bao Xue, who is a lively and cute girl with a cheerful personality, who will play with her elders at every turn.
In the position of the first female protagonist, but the play is not matched, the limbs dance when the performance is lively, but the serious scene is too upright, and the acting skills are seriously divided.
Emotional outbursts rarely have deep glances, and are almost always expressed by sinister expressions and hysterical lines.
Exaggerated acting skills are also easy to dissuade the audience.
Coupled with the sense of suspension and hypocrisy of the play "North and South", it further plays the collapse of the reputation of Lan Yingying, the female lead.
When an actor picks a play, he must not only choose the role that matches his own play path, but also find a good script, and the acting skills of what duan will play what dan, otherwise it will be eaten back.
02, Sun Honglei ("Sweeping Black Storm" as Li Chengyang)
Sun Honglei is undoubtedly a good actor.
Liu Huaqiang in "Conquest", Beacon City in "Seven Swords", Yu Zecheng in "Lurking", and Zhang Lei in "Poison War" are all very classic characters.
After participating in "Extreme Challenge", Sun Honglei, who frequently appeared in variety shows, began to bring his own personality, which greatly consumed his mystery as an actor and destroyed the diversity of his role.
Sun Honglei should also know that netizens are questioning him, so in 2021, he took over the large-scale crime drama "Sweeping Black Storm", and it seems that he has an iron heart to re-prove himself to the audience.
But after the episode aired, Pigo still wanted to say that he had made a mistake in "betting" this time.
The role of Li Chengyang itself does not have any problems.
He used to be a policeman, and later worked for a criminal group, needing to mediate between good and evil, and was a role that people could not guess.
This role is difficult to shape, but once it is played well, it will inevitably become a classic.
It is a pity that Sun Honglei, who has not been exposed to such a deep and complex role for a long time, obviously did not find Li Chengyang's shaping fulcrum.
Almost all of his performances are levitating, expressed for the sake of expression.
His glare, greasy fake smile, unknown stiffness and various poker face expressions make it difficult for the audience to understand what he is really expressing.
In addition, there are too many acting schools and old drama bones in "Sweeping The Black Storm", and under the background of a series of actors such as Ning Li, Tan Kai, Wang Zhifei, Wu Yue, etc., Sun Honglei's routine performance has suffered a big loss.
Therefore, Sun Honglei's "choice error" does not lie in the role itself, but in himself, after many years of wandering in reality shows and urban dramas, his steps are a little urgent.
From "Sweeping Black Storm", we can also see that Sun Honglei's transformation from a variety show café will be difficult.
01, Zhang Luyi ("Great Qin Fu" as Yin Zheng)
Zhang Luyi is well known to the audience, and it can be traced back to 2013's "Three Brothers in the Line of Fire", followed by "Sparrow" and "The Dedication of Suspect X", which made Zhang Luyi gradually famous.
Zhang Luyi has a recognizable appearance, an emaciated face, and a sparse stubble, which is suitable for playing roles such as a young uncle, such as Shi Hong, a middle school teacher in "The Dedication of Suspect X".
This big screen face, coupled with Zhang Luyi's calm and skillful acting skills, is enough for him to become an excellent actor.
However, in terms of picking plays, Zhang Luyi still lacks his own understanding, and his temperament obviously cannot support his temperament when acting in such a historical drama as "Great Qin Fu".
In terms of appearance, because Zhang Luyi rarely starred in costume dramas, at first glance, it was like putting a modern person into the shell of ancient clothes, which was very contrary.
Temperamentally, like Zhang Ziyi in "Shangyang Fu", the 40-year-old Zhang Luyi wants to play the 13-year-old Yingzheng, so that the audience will directly call for retreat.
In addition, after growing up, Zhang Luyi did not have the hot blood that a young emperor should have, nor could he see the domineering spirit of a mature emperor, because his body was too emaciated and his shoulders were serious, which also made Zhang Luyi look like "shrinking his neck" and less imperial prestige.
In some shots, you will even find that his shape is a bit like an umbrella...
Some of the shots are very similar to the turtles in the cartoon...
Playing emperors, especially emperors in historical dramas, must not only have an innate temperament, but also often compete with themselves, to ponder, to feel, to break through.
And Zhang Luyi's performance of Qin Shi Huang, the first emperor of the ages, at least from the perspective of temperament and aura, is unqualified.
Acting and picking roles is a technical job, sometimes good acting skills, not the "pass" to all works, to train a pair of discerning eyes, but also every powerful actor, should exercise professional skills.
I hope that these good actors can have a long snack when picking dramas in the future, and don't affect their reputation because of their roles and scripts, and don't affect their careers because of bad dramas and bad movies.
After all, it is not easy to cultivate a good actor, and it is too simple to destroy a good actor.
