Period dramas must "play ugly"? And the actor "playing ugly" equals dedication?
I don't know if the directors and actors of domestic dramas have solidified their thinking, or the audience's thinking has solidified, and every time I see the actors in period dramas "playing ugly" regardless of the image, there are countless questions.
And the period drama "The Road of Life" that has recently been broadcast cannot escape the strange circle of "playing ugly"!
Starring Chen Xiao and Li Qin deliberately painted their faces black in order to be more in line with the image of rural people in the 80s, and then put on dirt and old clothing, just like a "rural person"!
However, the eighties are not too far away from us, even if the economy was backward at that time, but people's appearance was born, at that time there was no shortage of beautiful and fair-skinned rural guys and girls, why did you have to deliberately paint your skin black and play ugly?
But if you look at the photos of your parents when they were young, you will not have the stereotype that rural people must be "black and dirty"!
The drama "The Road of Life" just can't jump out of this unwarranted stereotype, especially the appearance of the heroine Li Qin, which can be said to be quite separated.
In the play, Li Qin painted his skin as black and black, and the style of clothes he wore and the hairstyle he combed were also popular in that era, and at first glance it was really a bit of a "village girl".
But as long as she has a mouth, a mouthful of white porcelain teeth can blind the audience's eyes, and the color of the teeth and skin color form a sharp contrast.
The point is that Li Qin also likes to show her teeth, showing a standard eight-tooth smile at every turn, which is called a play.
Anyone who has read the original novel "Life" knows that although the heroine Liu Qiaozhen is a rural girl, she is by no means a black and earthy village girl, but a "village flower" that everyone loves.
In the original work, Gao Garin described Liu Qiaozhen as follows: Liu Qiaozhen does not look like a rural girl at all. Needless to say, the attire is neither rustic nor tacky. The grass green indeed good pants, the washed blue labor cloth top, and the large lapels of the aqua red indeed good shirt turned out, making a beautiful face look extremely vivid.
Liu Qiaozhen in the original book is beautiful, even if she works often, her skin is not so dark, but she is more watery than other girls in the village.
Therefore, Liu Qiaozhen is obviously a "village flower" of water spirits, how can it be that Li Qin is now "playing ugly", deliberately painting his face black is not dedication, but he has not read the original book at all and did not understand this role!
In order to fit the character image, it is estimated that all the starring should be much better than now.
Of course, Li Qin was complained not only because of his appearance, but the most important thing is that the magic change of the character and Li Qin's own acting skills are not up to par.
In the original work, although Liu Qiaozhen is a girl who has not read much, she has a pure heart and dares to pursue love. From the time she first understood that there is still love in the world, Qiao Zhen fell in love with Gogarin, but she was inferior in front of Gaogarin.
Her inferiority complex makes her not even have the courage to approach Gogarin, she misses Gogarin all the time, and she avoids Gogarin everywhere. She was afraid that her walking, posture, and speech would show something inappropriate in front of him and make her beloved laugh. However, her mind and eyes never left Gogarin!
Liu Qiaozhen in the original book loves warmly and subtly, in the early stage, she will never drive a tractor to chase Gao Garin like in the play, and the drama version alive changes a gentle, restrained, watery girl into a village girl who is whistling, black and dirty, who can bear this sense of gap?
The key Li Qin's acting skills are also embarrassing, maybe she wants to play the role of "Liu Qiaozhen" too much, so she has a feeling of overexertion.
The drama version of Liu Qiaozhen should be sunny and lively, like a "little sun" like a woman, but when it comes to Li Qin, a smile is exaggerated, all acting skills are concentrated on the mouth, there is a feeling that I want to laugh hard, and the brighter the smile, the more lively it is.
Li Qin's acting skills in "The Road of Life" and in "Please Jun" are a routine, that is, the whole body is working hard, trying to shape the characters in the play, exaggerated movements, exaggerated expressions, exaggerated shouts with a throat, extremely unnatural acting skills, the audience is tired for her when they look at it.
Dare to "play ugly" really does not equal dedication, not to mention the deliberate ugliness that does not fit the role, or I hope that Li Qin can calm down to study the role and acting skills, after all, Li Qin in the "Tian Xiao'e" period, the acting skills are really admirable.
