The interview four years ago was turned out and scolded, Yongmei's anger, is it really dumping the pot and selling miserable?

In the past two days, an interview with Yongmei caused an uproar.

She said she was angry because the market gave too few opportunities for middle-aged actresses, and the audience only loved to see young and beautiful, unable to appreciate the beauty of middle-aged women, and behind this aesthetic was the issue of education.

My first reaction is that most of her words are quite reasonable, and it is not easy to dare to directly point out aesthetic problems, but whether it is an educational problem behind it is debatable——

If education affects aesthetics, then what influences education?

In the final analysis, it is the influence of the social environment that is related to economic development and ideological cognition.

But unexpectedly, netizens felt that she was dumping the pot and educating the audience, feeling that the female 2.08 million and ordinary women have a class difference, are not qualified to sell miserable, do not expect to get the sympathy and support of ordinary women, think that she is an actress is also a "daddy", and asked why she just wants to sit back and enjoy the success, why not "make cakes" by herself?

Even, netizens began to vigorously set up celebrities who had "made cakes" or had the ability and potential to "make cakes".

The words of netizens also make sense.

After all, in recent years, everyone's resistance to stars has become stronger and stronger, and everyone knows that even if they have a miserable life, they are many times better than ordinary people do not know, so a star with a daily salary of 2.08 million is never worth the distress of a person with a monthly salary of 3,000, and female stars do not have to use women's rights to excuse themselves or sell misery.

Women are not [born], but [acquired], which is a relative [second nature], so in the face of the class gap, even a biological woman is no longer a woman, because she first thinks from the perspective of a superior privileged class, not from the perspective of a weak woman.

But I always felt that an interview, I don't know the ins and outs, so I pinched my head and tail to criticize, which is not very good, so I searched the full text.

It's hard to search, I just said that she doesn't seem to have any new works and new developments recently, why did she give interviews and talk about women's topics for no reason, sure enough, it was an interview done after Yongmei won the best actress at the Berlin Film Festival in 2019 with "The Earth Is Long".

That should also be her most proud time so far, and most of the interviews she can currently search on the Internet are from that period.

The interview in which she expressed her anger came from GQ reports.

This article wrote that probably because of her father's influence, she is a little indifferent to fame and fortune, her mobile phone is call forwarding, does not answer the phone, only reads text messages, and strives to suppress desire and stay awake in the impetuous entertainment industry.

After the hit of "Chinese Divorce", she who starred in the female number two will be recognized when she walks on the road, and she feels unfree and uncomfortable.

She said she never volunteered for any role, and she didn't have that thing.

Because of the death of her parents and the dramatic changes in the industry, she took four years off from 2012 to 2016.

She believes that since 2006, the commercial flavor of TV dramas has become very heavy, and everyone is in a hurry, so she intends to turn to the film industry because the film is "more pure".

Some filmmakers invited her to play the scientist's wife, because she has always been this image of a good wife and mother, she will wonder why no one let her play a female scientist? If she really acted, would anyone really want to watch it?

Throughout the text, I actually didn't like her very much in this interview, because I preferred the vivid and ambitious image of facing up to desire and fighting for it when she wanted, rather than pretending not to care about avoiding and suppressing desire.

People in the entertainment industry are as pale as ju, and in the end they are often proven to be just characters, even if her people are as pale as ju may be true.

Moreover, I don't like the self-proclaimed "movie coffee", of course, even a few years ago, the film industry may be much purer than it is now, I wonder how Yongmei will feel when she looks at the film industry that is now more and more huddled and almost clearly written "non-resource coffee is not allowed to enter"?

But her anger is indeed not obtrusive at all in this article.

She said very clearly earlier: "If I don't have the ability to create, I can't write, I can't direct, I don't have the money to invest, if I don't have the ability to change, don't be confused." ”

Being able to face up to one's limited abilities and not engage in useless complaints and futile efforts is also a kind of maturity and reason.

After all, the able work a lot, and for the vast majority of ordinary people, it is good to strive not to be incompetent and focus on one field to do a good job, and the rest, even if they have the heart, are powerless.

And the reason why she expressed her anger was because she thought that if she spoke up now, someone would be willing to listen, instead of being a nobody, like before, no one cared.

Perhaps because the collective voice of middle-aged women during that time was too loud, the most famous thing that year was Haiqing's call for the "middle-aged actress crisis" at the closing ceremony of the FIRST Film Festival, because the scene was too dramatic and drowned out the voices of others, so that Yongmei's interview was so discussed four years later.

But four years apart, the network environment is different.

In the past four years, middle-aged women have received a lot of attention, Sister Lang has been held several times, just in these two days, the new sisters have gathered in Changsha, there are more and more TV series with women's themes, even the screenwriters and publicity with 0 feminist knowledge reserves know how to create topics in this regard.

Even, "women's rights" have become a fig leaf for some female stars and their fans at some times, and female celebrities themselves have not spoken out for [improving the living environment of women], but they very naturally play the role of "weak female image" when attacked, skillfully using tools such as "refusing appearance judgment".

In society, various gender antagonisms are even more common.

To be honest, I am already a little tired of watching it, because such a "false prosperity" is really annoying.

Over the years, the general feminine consciousness has indeed improved, some aspects have indeed improved, and false prosperity is better than snubbed depression, but the reality is also far from as good as it seems.

The film industry is even more "misogynistic" than ever, in addition to 2021's "Hello, Li Huanying", I can't see women-based movies in the New Year file for many years in a row, even Zhang Xiaofei, who relied on Li Huanying's big explosion, in the past New Year file, can only give two male actors in "Exchange Life" as a fringe heroine, Ma Li and other actresses, and have said the plight of actresses more than once.

Yongmei's anger is not inappropriate today, I don't think she is dumping the pot and selling misery to the audience, but as a literary film queen with high self-esteem, she is addicted to self-righteousness and self-touching appeals, because she is used to looking above the top, and does not even realize that her words hurt the audience.

If it is really a recognized old drama bone, call for it, netizens may also buy it, or at least not care, unfortunately, she prides herself on being a powerful actor, but because of the failed portrayal of Wu Zetian in "Feng Qi Luoyang", netizens do not recognize her acting skills, but will feel that she is making excuses for her bad luck.

In fact, I understand what she means, she is stating the status quo she sees herself, and giving the reasons for personal analysis and inference, which may not be correct, but at least she is using her influence to [advocate for the group], rather than using women's rights only as a "tool for personal gain" as many people now.

It seems that many people feel that in the face of difficulties, either do or close the wheat, it seems that there are only two choices, but it is inevitable that there are many [many ideas, few actions] people, will want to say two words, even if they can't do it, they have to help the competent people shout twice, just like Yongmei, she knows that she has no ability to solve problems, but she also has to express anger at the deformed status quo.

Judging from Yongmei's interview alone, she is indeed not the kind of star who can make cakes, not to mention that her communication seems to be outside the entertainment industry, as far as her husband is concerned, it is difficult to provide her with help and guidance in this regard, because he is not only not a director and producer, but even an actor in the same line.

A very important part of Jia Ling's success comes from years of cultivation in the circle and the accumulation of audience popularity, even so, these cultivation and accumulation do not know how much box office can be supported, and the next movie is still unknown.

A certain swallow who has cooled, in addition to communication skills, I once lamented her wisdom as a director when I first watched "Actor Please Take Position", which is largely a talent.

There is also Lin Xinru, who netizens often use as an example, her national popularity is also 47 years old, and Yongmei, who only starred in the movie heroine for the first time, cannot be compared.

Of course, you can also say that the actor's own "cake making" is not so smooth, not to mention Deng Chao, who has repeatedly lost and repeatedly lost, even Wu Jing, before "Wolf Warrior 2", has also tried not so successfully, why can't actresses have this kind of courage?

But in this society, women's self-confidence itself is not as good as that of men, not to mention, Yongmei does not have the same thick foundation as Wu Jing and Deng Chao in all aspects.

To give an example of side influence, Wu Jing originally wanted to sell a house to shoot "Wolf Warrior", Xie Nan expressed strong support, big deal I raise you, the traditional education of women is "marry chickens with chickens" and "husbands sing women with women", so go all out to support husbands without reservation for their husbands' wives, since ancient times are not new, but how many husbands are willing to hollow out everything to support their wives in their careers?

Forget it, I don't excuse Yongmei anymore, because after watching the interview, I do appreciate her incompetence, and I understand that there is a reason why she is not popular.

I just think that I can criticize her, but I don't have to make any deliberate speculation about the point of "educating the audience", so that later people will be silent and afraid to call for fear of saying the wrong thing, let alone overkill because they are angry at her.

Today's networks are too diodeic, too easy to jump from one extreme to another.

To say that the crisis of middle-aged actresses is to blame for their own efforts to change the status quo, and even deny that they have a predicament...

This kind of statement is already a most terrible dilemma in itself.
