On September 7, the movie "Mermaid" Tencent Video was released. This online movie is different from the film of the same name directed by Stephen Chow. Below, "The Mermaid" refers to this online movie starring Lin Yanrou, Clara and others. The reason why the film has aroused strong interest among netizens is mainly because before the release, the film had a mermaid in the trailer of Clara dressed as a mermaid, and there was a picture of a mermaid out of the water. Some media marketing voices said that this scene of Clara mermaid out of the water is better than Lin Yun's mermaid out of the water in Stephen Chow's movie.
In fact, after watching the entire "Mermaid", netizens will be "surprised" to find that although this movie is marked as Clara starring, the real role of this actor is very limited. And netizens have basically watched all the scenes of Clara in the trailer content of Clara mermaid bathing. In the main film, the mermaid played by Clara lies down the whole time, and even does not talk about any scenes.
Therefore, it is not too much to say that the actress Clara won the whole time and the cameo became the main actor, which is very accurate. For the actor Clara, it has obviously become a landscape in the so-called film and television content. And among our film and television drama works, there are indeed a large number of works that invite Clara to make cameos. Moreover, these characters are all vase effects. Clara has become one of the largest vases of our film and television content and has become recognized by the industry.
In many theatrical movies and online movies, inviting Clara to star is actually just a few cameos and plays a vase role. However, when marking the cast list, clara is always liked to be labeled as a starring actor. With so few scenes, but becoming a starring actor, it can only be said that many of our film and television staff just want to use "Clara" as a symbol that can pull the box office.
Correspondingly, in many online movies, young actor Xu Dongdong is also invited to make a cameo appearance. In particular, he made a cameo appearance in some insignificant scenes, and then he labeled Xu Dongdong as one of the heroines of his network films. This practice is obviously that the marketing behavior is greater than the content substance. Whether it is Clara or Xu Dongdong, it has become a marketing symbol, and the two young actresses have been seriously marketed, but in the works, they can only assume the role of beautiful women such as vases.
For the network movie "Mermaid", it is actually starring Lin Yanrou, which tells the story of this mermaid incarnating as a beautiful woman, going ashore to rescue her own kind, and then falling in love with the male protagonist. From the overall storytelling point of view, the level of creation of "Mermaid" is very general, and the questions that arise are all overlooked. This kind of mermaid and human love story is also a cliché. For this type of film, the only selling point seems to be Clara's incarnation as a mermaid.
In the main plot, the mermaid played by Clara lies in a special fish tank the whole time. The dress of the upper body is a familiar bandeau suit. The lower body is replaced by a fish tail. This kind of slim dressing is also to achieve the purpose of objectifying Clara and sexifying Clara. However, it is surprising that a cameo star who lies all the way down has become one of the female protagonists when the film is marketed.
This phenomenon is faced with a relatively serious thinking: when we create online movies, do we win with the quality of stories and shooting, or do we win with the appearance of actresses? Obviously, online movies like "The Mermaid" rely too much on the appearance of actresses, and even on their bodies, trying to use these content points to make up for the serious deficiencies in their own script creation. In the long run, online movies can only "die and struggle" in this kind of female perspective.
At present, a new phenomenon has emerged in cinema films. If the trailer of a theatrical movie appears to talk about the female body, professional fans will immediately know that this is a bad film, and there is no other point to watch, and the actresses' physical appearance will be edited into it. Subsequently, such cinema films will not have good box office results. This is a typical sign of the maturity of cinema fans. The maturity of film fans has directly spawned a large number of cinema films to begin to focus on content story creation, and no longer engage in the gimmick of the actress's physical appearance.
However, this phenomenon, in the network movie, has not yet reached a consensus among netizens. A large number of online film works are good at delving into these contents, and even deliberately enlarge some of the actress's body parts in the poster content of the film. A more typical example is a large number of online movies, all of which infinitely elongate the thighs of actresses, and add white and bright colors. This is actually the same as the "Clara phenomenon".
For this batch of online movies, the old editor's view is that when the creators of this batch of works understand that when they use actresses as real actors, rather than as female vases, they will really grow. (Text/Ma Qingyun)
