Recently, two TV series have aroused strong disgust among the audience, both because of the tender appearance of middle-aged stars.
One is "Corner Love", a sibling love drama starring Jiang Wenli and Ming Dao. The other is "Dragon City", a family ethics drama starring Ma Yili and Bai Yu.
In the two dramas, Jiang Wenli and Ma Yili are both actresses in their 40s, but they have to play girls in their 20s, partnering with actors much younger than themselves, which made many viewers unacceptable, and even shouted the slogans of "hot eyes" and "persuasion".
Why are middle-aged stars so keen on dressing up?
Some people say that this is because they are unwilling to face their age and reality, and want to continue their youth and charm. Others say that this is because they do not have the right roles and scripts to choose from, and can only accept such an arrangement.
Others say that this is because they have their own fans and traffic, which can bring ratings and topicality to the crew.
Whatever the reason, I personally believe that the practice of middle-aged celebrities dressing up tender is undesirable and disrespectful to the audience and art.
First of all, dressing up will affect the authenticity and rationality of the plot, making the audience feel uncomfortable and unconvinced. For example, in "Corner Love", the heroine played by Jiang Wenli is a recent college graduate, but has a obviously aging face and a mature temperament, which is very different from the male protagonist played by Ming Dao, making people feel like uncle love rather than sibling love.
In "Dragon City", the 46-year-old heroine played by Ma Yili is only in her early 20s, Ma Yili wears a wig with bangs, pretends to be cute on stage, and looks old-fashioned compared with the actor who plays her boyfriend, making people feel like mother-son love rather than youth love.
Secondly, dressing up will waste the advantages and characteristics of middle-aged stars themselves, making them lose their style and personality.
For example, in "Corner Love", Jiang Wenli was originally an actress with deep acting skills and rich expression, and she has excellent performance in many mature female roles. But in this show, she has to give up her advantages to imitate the words and deeds of a young girl, making herself look very unnatural and uncomfortable.
Ma Yili was originally an actress with fresh nature and intellectual elegance, and she has a bright performance in many urban female roles. But in the drama "Dragon City", she has to give up her characteristics, wear bells and whistles, sing childish songs, and make herself look very incongruous and inappropriate.
Finally, dressing up takes up opportunities and space for young stars, leaving them without a stage and platform to show themselves. For example, in "Corner Love", Ming Dao was originally an actor with youthful vitality and handsome appearance, and he has a large number of fans and popularity in many idol dramas.
But in this drama, he wants to partner with Jiang Wenli, so that his image and temperament are affected and suppressed. So much so that after the show was broadcast, many viewers shouted clearly and let him go live to bring goods, because everyone didn't know that he was already difficult to this point.
Although Ming Dao is not young, he and Jiang Wenli still look a generation behind, and watching them play a couple really makes people feel unbearable to look at them directly.
Someone asked Ming Dao to return Jiang Wenli to Dao Ming, and he should go to Chen Qiaoen. Some people also asked Ming Dao to learn from Jiao Enjun, after all, he had experience.
In short, the audience no longer wants to endure the unconscious pretending behavior of female stars.
Personally, I feel that the practice of middle-aged celebrities dressing up tenderly should not be encouraged and supported, but should be reflected on and changed.
I hope that middle-aged stars can recognize their own positioning and direction, and do not go against their hearts and art in order to cater to the market and audience. I also hope that they can give young stars some opportunities and space to show their talents and charms.
I believe that only in this way can we make our TV drama industry more healthy and diverse, and also make our audience more satisfied and happy.
