Recently, "Wind Rises Longxi" starring Chen Kun is being broadcast, but the ratings of this drama continue to decline, and even CCTV cannot save it.
You know, this is not the first time that Chen Kun's work has pierced the heart of the earth, as early as the previous "Tiansheng Long Song", Chen Kun's acting skills have been complained about.
It can be seen that Chen Kun's acting skills have always been overrated.
In fact, Chen Kun's encounter also represents the embarrassing status quo of some middle-aged male stars.
On weekdays, they are all praised by the audience, and they seem to be very famous and their acting skills are also very good; however, under the witness of time, everyone finds that their performance is very crotch-pulling, and their acting skills are seriously exaggerated.
1. Lu Yi
Lu Yi is a male star who is very familiar to the post-90s, he began acting at the age of 7, and became popular in 1998 with "Never Look Away".
Over the years, Lu Yi has starred in many classic works, such as "Young Bao Qingtian", "Who Decides My Youth", "Three Kingdoms" and so on.
In everyone's impression, Lu Yi's performance seems to have been good, but is this really the case?
As early as 2017, when "In the Name of the People" was broadcast, Lu Yi's acting skills were complained about by netizens. As the male protagonist, "Hou Liangping" played by Lu Yi does have bright spots, but there are also many flaws.
Many viewers feel that Lu Yi lacks a sense of layering in the shaping of this role, no matter what the situation, he always looks calm and deep.
This point, compared with several other old drama bones in the play, is simply a complete explosion.
Especially in the scene where "Qi Tongwei" committed suicide, many viewers saw the gap between Lu Yi and Xu Yajun's acting skills and began to sympathize with the villain.
At that time, the old actor Zhang Zhijian also used eight words to evaluate Lu Yi's acting skills as "almost hot and thin".
In 2020, Lu Yi took over an idol drama called "Just for That Moment and You Want to See". In itself, acting in idol dramas in his 40s is already very contrary, and Lu Yi's acting skills are still very crotch-pulling.
As a result, after the broadcast of this drama, many viewers gave a one-star bad review, and everyone left comments saying: I don't know why Lu Yi wants to take such a work.
All in all, Lu Yi's acting career does have highlight moments, but his acting skills are not as superb as everyone expects, compared to the acting school of the same age, Lu Yi's acting skills do have room for improvement.
Especially in recent years, the number of Lu Yi's works has gradually decreased, but he is addicted to taking pictures with his wife and children, which is a bit of a "not doing the right thing".
2. Monday around
In 2004, Zhou Wei entered the audience's field of vision with "Sunshine Blooms Like a Flower".
As soon as he debuted, he was the male protagonist of haiyan drama, and the starting point of Monday Wai could be said to be very high. After that, Monday Wei successively starred in works such as "The Great Cause of Party Building", "Embroidery Spring Knife", "Gold Medal Lawyer" and so on.
With years of hard work, Zhou Wei gradually rose to the front line and became a well-known middle-aged male star.
In 2017, Monday Wai ushered in another highlight moment of life.
When participating in "The Birth of an Actor", Zhou Wei won the recognition of Zhang Ziyi, and even in front of the audience, Zhang Ziyi did not hesitate to praise him.
With the full support of Zhang Ziyi, Monday won the annual championship of the year.
It is reasonable to say that Zhou Wei can stand out among many actors, and his acting skills should have a lot of gold content, but this is not the case.
Shortly after participating in "The Birth of an Actor", Monday Wei took over a TV series called "Entrepreneurial Times".
In this drama, Zhou Wei's acting skills are very exaggerated. For example, in the footage of this speech, Monday's face is raised with vicious hands raised, like a conductor intoxicated in music.
When talking normally, Zhou Zhouwei's facial features are often twisted together, and it seems as if he has a deep hatred with everyone.
Moreover, Monday Wei not only used too much force during the speech, in many emotionally bland scenes, Monday Wei also had an exaggerated expression, his eyes were round, and both eyebrows jumped up.
Seeing the appearance of Monday's wei, netizens could not help but ask: "Can such acting skills also win the championship?" ”
It is undeniable that the former Monday Wei was indeed beautiful and natural, and the acting skills can also be remarkable. However, after becoming famous, Zhou Zhouwei gradually lost himself, and his acting skills were not as good as before.
No matter what role he plays, Zhou Zhouwei is like being beaten with chicken blood, looking very pompous, I wonder if he is aware of his own shortcomings?
3. Sun Honglei
Sun Honglei was once recognized as a powerful actor, and in 1998, Sun Honglei debuted with "Never Look Away". Immediately after, he starred in classic works such as "Like Fog Like Rain and Like Wind" and "Conquest".
In 2008, a "Latent" completely sent Sun Honglei to the altar, making him a household name in acting.
In the early years, Sun Honglei's acting skills were indeed superb, and he was completely called a "drama throwing face", acting like what.
However, since Sun Honglei joined "Extreme Challenge", he has begun to create a silly and funny personality.
Although such behavior earned him a lot of traffic, it also made his play path seriously limited, and eventually he fell into this kind of persona and could not extricate himself.
In 2019's "Take Dad to Study Abroad", Sun Honglei's words and deeds are no different from those in the variety show, as if they are carved out of a mold.
At every turn, it is squinting and smirking, or it is a dead skin, which completely does not reflect its own acting skills.
By 2021's "Sweeping Black Storm", Sun Honglei's performance did have some improvements, and he showed a very powerful aura when his expression was serious.
However, as soon as Sun Honglei showed a smiling face, he immediately broke the work, as if he had brought the audience back to "Extreme Challenge".
Sun Honglei is a good actor, which is undeniable. However, even the best actors cannot withstand the "destruction" of variety shows.
On the contrary, the more aspiring actors, the more they should stay away from highly exposed activities and perform their own works in a down-to-earth manner. I hope that Sun Honglei can turn back in time and not go farther and farther on the road of "variety show coffee".
Fourth, Zhang Zijian
Mention Zhang Zijian, everyone will definitely think of "Li Yuanfang" in "Detective Di Renjie" for the first time, this role is definitely one of the classic images on the screen.
In fact, as early as before starring in "Detective Di Renjie", Zhang Zijian has been debuting for nearly 10 years, but he has always been tepid.
After becoming popular with this drama, Zhang Zijian's resources have been greatly improved, and he has starred in many popular works, such as "Marriage Code", "Daming Dynasty 1566" and so on.
At this time, Zhang Zijian's popularity is already very high, and his acting skills have also been recognized by most audiences. According to the development of this situation, Zhang Zijian's position in the circle will become more and more stable.
However, since 2011, Zhang Zijian has begun to shoot various anti-war dramas. For this kind of work, everyone must know, not only the plot is thunderous, but also there is no need for acting skills at all.
In just a few years, Zhang Zijian launched several similar works, and the money was indeed earned, but his reputation and audience popularity were also consumed.
At the same time, due to the frequent playing of a role, Zhang Zijian's play path has also been severely restricted, and his acting skills have plummeted.
Today, Zhang Zijian has been immersed in the "cold agent" personality and cannot extricate himself, and acting is also a model. Although he has a very large audience, looking closely at his acting skills, it is really suspected of being exaggerated.
The facial expression is stiff, the inner drama is missing, as if it has become a robot in the anti-war drama. In fact, the anti-war drama not only affected Zhang Zijian, but also Yu Zhen, Wang Xin and others were "deeply affected by it."
With Zhang Zijian's starting point and qualifications, he could have had a better development, but he made the wrong choice, and finally ended up with a group ridicule, which can only be said to be self-inflicted.
5. Chen Kun
Chen Kun is a well-known middle-aged male star, chen Kun's reputation in the early years is very good, but in the past two years, his acting skills have been frequently questioned.
Chen Kun debuted in 1999 and starred in the classic work "Like Fog Like Rain and Like Wind" the following year, which gained widespread attention.
In the years since, Chen Kun has successively starred in works such as "Balzac and the Little Tailor", "The Family of Gold Powder", "The Ballad of Yun Shui" and so on, and gradually ranked among the first-line male stars.
At that time, Chen Kun did not say that it was "rating guarantee" and "box office guarantee", but at least the quality of his works was still very high, and his acting skills were also very online.
The directors and actors he worked with were all first-line celebrities, and his resources were so good that they were enviable, and he was definitely the "top class" at that time.
However, in 2018, Chen Kun's good luck seems to have run out.
This year, Chen Kun starred in a "Get Out". Before the START OF THE TV SERIES, the official publicity was vigorous, and as a result, after the start of the broadcast, word of mouth and ratings both exploded, and Chen Kun's acting skills were also complained about.
In the play, Chen Kun played two roles alone, but because he did not grasp the scale, he always gave people a feeling of excessive force, and in the later stage, there were signs of acting collapse.
In the same year, Chen Kun launched a costume drama "Tiansheng Long Song". This drama has gathered many powerful factions, with a total investment of more than 500 million yuan, which is a highly anticipated blockbuster work of that year.
However, Chen Kun's performance in the play is still not ideal. In addition to the inconsistency between the image and the persona, Chen Kun's acting skills have also been criticized.
Affected by this, Chen Kun's reputation plummeted, and he also completely became a "rating poison", and every subsequent work without exception pounced on the street.
To this day, Chen Kun's resources are still top-notch, but he can bring fewer and fewer surprises to the audience, and everyone's expectations of him are getting lower and lower.
6. Li Chen
When it comes to Li Chen, most viewers will definitely think of his performance in "Running Man", so much so that many people ignore that he is an actor.
In fact, Li Chen's starting point is also very high. At the age of 19, Li Chen starred in his first work "Seventeen Years Old Don't Cry", thus stepping into the show business circle.
Although he is a newcomer who has just debuted, Li Chen's resources are very good. In just a few years, Li Chen has successively starred in works such as "The True Colors of Criminal Police" and "Thirteen Grids".
In 2006, a "Soldier Assault" sent Li Chen to the peak of his career and successfully entered the front line.
In these early works, Li Chen's performance is indeed remarkable. However, Li Chen's acting skills are not directly proportional to seniority, but are getting more and more crotch-pulling.
For example, in "Yunnan Bug Valley" some time ago, Li Chen made a cameo appearance in the role of "Zhang Yingchuan". Obviously, there were only a few minutes of scenes, but he was complained about by many viewers.
Originally, this role was a more easy-going look, but Li Chen performed a feeling of being on top, which was extremely inconsistent with the image in the original work.
Moreover, Li Chen's line pronunciation is also very crotch-pulling, and the overall look is very greasy. In addition to this drama, Li Chen's works in the past two years have basically not escaped the audience's complaints.
The reason for this result is largely because he has become a variety artist.
As a resident guest of "Running Man", Li Chen wants to maintain a fixed personality in the show. Over time, his previous actor filters were consumed.
Therefore, as long as Li Chen appears on the screen now, he will let the audience have a sense of drama. Nowadays, Li Chen has rarely participated in film and television works, and it is estimated that he will choose to "retire" in variety shows in the future.
7. Du Chun
Du Chun was born in an acting family, and his father was Du Zhiguo, an old drama bone. Thanks to such a family environment, Du Chun was exposed to the show business circle early.
In 2003, Du Chun officially entered the circle with "The Emperor of Han Wu". With the help of his father, Du Chun's acting path has been relatively smooth.
In the following years, Du Chun successively starred in popular works such as "The Great Song Ti Criminal Officer" and "Walking West Exit", and gradually became well known to the audience.
Objectively speaking, Du Chun's conditions are very good, and his appearance and acting skills are relatively online. However, in the past two years, his acting skills have declined seriously.
For example, in 2021's "I Really Love You", Du Chun played the pediatrician "Mo Ming". This should have been a very three-dimensional and plump role, but it was played very flat by Du Chun.
Looking at the whole play, Du Chun's performance is a little too stable, and there is no emotional explosion. Moreover, Du Chun's eyes in some shots also appear empty and boring.
Once upon a time, Du Chun was also a powerful actor in the circle. But looking at it now, Du Chun's performance is really unsatisfactory.
And as he grew older, Du Chun inevitably became greasy, and the appearance of the innocent little student he once looked like no longer existed.
Today, Du Chun is over 40 years old, but his representative works are still the works of more than ten years ago, which is definitely the most embarrassing thing for an actor.
In recent years, Du Chun has been busy with fitness, seemingly to be a full-time actor, but the audience does not buy it, he can only turn around and get married and have children, and set up a good husband and a good father.
But in the final analysis, if an actor wants to develop for a long time, he still has to improve his acting skills, and he can't eat the old money for a long time, so sooner or later he will consume his previous popularity.
Looking at Du Chun, you know that in recent years, his reputation in the market is very poor, and if he does not come up with powerful works, he will be eliminated sooner or later.
On the surface, middle-aged stars are the backbone of the show business, but in fact they are the most embarrassing group.
Especially those middle-aged actors who have been debuting for many years and whose acting skills do not advance and retreat, it is easy to fall into a situation of "insufficient than the top, insufficient than the bottom".
I hope that middle-aged actors can improve themselves and continue to come up with excellent works, otherwise sooner or later they will be abandoned by the audience.
