Recently, two stars apologized one after another.
Li Chen and Bai Lu were ridiculed by netizens for saying things that disrespected women.
Compared to Li Chen, Bai Lu's affairs are more intense.
Her previous interviews, remarks on participating in the show, and early Weibo were all picked up by netizens.
I'm a male guest, I'm a man, and I'm more repulsive to mother's things...
Due to making such remarks in public many times, Bai Lu was given the title of "spiritual man" by netizens.
In fact, there is no shortage of female stars in domestic entertainment who wear the label of male title. Zhou Xun is often referred to as "Brother Xun". Qi Wei also has another name for "Brother Qi". Not to mention Fan Bingbing's "Fan Ye".
Characters like "female men" have indeed been very popular for a period of time. However, this trend changed direction at some point.
Nowadays, more and more female stars are being bombarded by netizens because they emphasize their male personality. Just like Bai Lu's overturn this time, even if a formal apology has been made, many netizens still do not adhere to it.
"Grandpa" character, what's wrong?
Today, let's talk about this topic.
Bai Lu's enthusiasm for calling himself a "man" has not been done once or twice. Participated in variety shows and refused to be a female guest:
"It's okay, I'm not a female guest anyway", "I'm a male guest"
Participating in the event to answer the host's questions, the word "man" is inseparable:
"I myself am similar to Huo Xuan, man", "It's a man", "Then I'm really a man, everyone knows"
Interviewed by the media and asked about his personality.
Bai Lu replied:
"Xiaojie has always called me Brother Lu", "Because I am really a very manly woman in my life"
Even during the filming of the TV series, he was happy to position himself as the male protagonist:
"This is really what the male protagonist should do", "Also, I am also the male protagonist"
Focusing on the "man" who has listened to her so many times, many people must be close to PTSD.
These words said by Bai Lu are nothing more than wanting to flaunt their own difference, and they are all scraps brought about by the chain reaction.
The real reason for the apology began with an interview about the promotion of the new drama. During the interview, the reporter asked Bai Lu to talk about what the male and female protagonists CP in the play will make the audience like.
Here's how she replied:
The story of the female bully and the little dog.
Then later it became the story of the male bully and the little.
Wait, does White Deer know what he's talking about?
Are the words "little" really used to describe the heroine in the play?
It may be that the production team can't see it, and later used an expression to express their speechlessness.
This interview was conducted in 2019 and did not cause an uproar at the time.
Many fans even think that Bailu is very hearty and very fond of it. But today, it has become unacceptable.
Of course, some people believe that deliberately picking up the video from 4 years ago is an ulterior motive. also thinks that Bai Lu is not scolding others, but describing the role he plays, it doesn't matter.
Some people feel that this is a domestic double standard. Calling men puppies and wolf dogs is acceptable. Why calling a woman a little is an insult.
For this view, Uncle Yu does not dare to agree, and not to mention that the words "little wolf dog" and little milk dog are subjective differences in semantic color when used as adjectives with little female dogs.
The word "little" itself is often used in the context of humiliating women.
It is not acceptable for such words to come out of the mouth of a public figure. It is also in this context that Bai Lu's previous "men's remarks" began to become unclear in the eyes of the public. In addition to constantly emphasizing his "male attributes", Bai Lu often expresses his disdain and disgust for "mother". When filming makeup photos in the TV series, she felt that her style was "too girly".
The host asked Bai Lu which one was more difficult when playing two characters with different personalities at the same time.
She answered without hesitation:
Of course it's my mother's, yes.
The white deer seems to be eager to cut off the femininity in his body on all occasions. And in words, for that part of femininity, there is a sense of contempt.
This also makes many people wonder, is her psychological gender male? However, unlike women whose true psychological gender is male.
Bai Lu mouthed his masters. But on the short video platform, she is keen to show her femininity, that is, the "mother" side that she expresses disgust.
It is this kind of behavior that makes netizens further tired and resistant to Bai Lu, and even puts the hats of "flattering men" and "misogynistic" on her head.
If all of the above can be explained by a misnomer. Then, gender stereotypes may be difficult to explain.
It's still an interview. After Bai Lu said many times that he was a boy's personality, the host asked: Is it good for girls to have boys' personalities?
Bai Lu's answer did not disappoint: I think it's good. I think it's easier to get along with people. Easy-going, down-to-earth.
This answer has obvious praise and disdain.
As if to say that girls are not easy to get along with, not easy-going, not grounded...
This kind of involuntary answer, it is difficult not to think too much. As a woman, there are many female celebrities who are keen to highlight their masculinity and particularly dislike femininity.
In the variety show "Wife's Romantic Trip", there is a discussion about Lan Yan's confidant. Miao Miao first showed that she had Lan Yan's confidant, and the reason was very simple. Because she herself is a boy, she gets along with boys like buddies.
Then can his husband Zheng Kai have a confidante?
Yes, but only if he is with a very masculine girl. For example, it may be to go to basketball, which is what boys do. I think it's okay.
He is a confidant with a girl with tricks. Then I think it may not be acceptable.
This remark made Uncle Yu look very confused.
Miao Miao not only perfectly interpreted what it means to "only allow the governor to set fires, and not allow the people to light lamps". He also nakedly engaged in "sexism".
Yang Chao and Meng Meiqi, the sisters who were drafted from the women's team, are the same. The former likes to call himself a "straight man of steel" the most.
This kind of self-proclaimed, made Hou Minghao, who participated in the show with her, confused: "Straight woman", what does "straight man" mean?
In Yang Chao's view, "straight men" will be more masculine than "straight women".
"Big brother of the mountain branch" Meng Meiqi once said in the group of rocket girls: Everyone thinks that girls will definitely intrigue when they are together, and then make trouble or something. But don't they know we're eleven boys?
Her original purpose was to break the rumors of a discordant relationship between Rocket Girls. But such a statement not only denies the identity of its own women, but also directly binds intrigue to women.
There is also Zhou Dongyu, who will apologize for his "mother" in the show.
I will be complacent because of my "bravery": if I were a man, there would be many women who thought I was too brave and wanted to marry me.
Seeing these statements of female stars, Uncle Yu couldn't help but wonder: What did they experience to be so disgusted with their female identity?
A few years ago, the internal entertainment did set off a wave of children's stars "male plastic". It is not a small number of female stars with a neutral temperament to call them "husbands".
Maybe people see too much of the so-called standard female star image: dignified, delicate, charming...
So the female men and masters in the opposite direction will be particularly delicious.
But in fact, the root cause of such a cultural trend is that it is impossible to escape the deep-rooted "misogynistic" tendencies and stereotypes of women in society.
Effeminate, sensitive, vulnerable and even scheming, it has become a spokesword for women.
When these "feminine traits" appear in men, they merge into a pejorative "mother". Going further, there is the questioning of professional competence. The harsh social environment and difficult to change cultural cognition have made many female stars choose to use castration of their female identity to gain attention and recognition.
It can even be called a kind of "self-help".
It's just that they may not have thought -
This behavior not only made many women feel backstabbed, but also made them "misogynistic" members.
In fact, rather than "misogyny", Uncle Yu wants to call them "ignorant" in a sense.
On the one hand, this "ignorance" is reflected in: like the hostile gaze that shoots on women, these female stars stubbornly, stubbornly, simply, and stereotypically frame the sexes in their respective camps.
With simple and crude understanding and action, they try to prove to others: I am not the weak woman you say. Just like Chen Yuqi, who once caused controversy because of her "pink very girly" remarks.
In fact, they don't understand what it really means to be a man.
American psychologist Karen once discussed in her book "The Psychology of Women" why many women want to be men: women want to be men because they want to have those traits or privileges that our culture considers men, such as strength, courage, independence, success, sexual freedom, and the right to choose a partner.
These are determined by cultural rather than biological factors.
On the other hand, a female star like Bai Lu, who emphasizes that she is a man, is to a large extent no different from constantly setting up various personalities and other stars. In the end, their purpose is to stand out among many artists and get more traffic and attention.
But in fact, as an actor, putting traffic and professionalism upside down, and fawning fans to earn traffic before improving acting skills, this practice is obviously lazy. Look at all the works of Bai Lu since their debut, almost all of them are revolving in ancient dolls.
And her understanding of the role is the same as her understanding of gender: simple and rigid.
Bai Lu played two roles in the TV series "Phoenix Prisoner". Feifeng General Huo Xuan and King Kang Meiji Leyun.
Because of different growth environments and different identities, the two characters are very different in personality. If you want to do the best interpretation, you need the actor to speculate on the growth arc and psychology of the character.
But whenever someone asked Bai Lu about her views and interpretations of these two roles, she would say that Huo Xuan was a man like herself. Le Yun is a "good slow and good girl" in every move.
With such a level of understanding, I don't know how she can play these two roles well.
If "Phoenix Prisoner" is Bai Lu's early work, there may be room for growth. But this year, that is, in the new drama "Long Moon Ember Ming" that caused all contradictions, she still understands the role so well. The mulberry wine she plays has a change process from white to black in the play. The reason for this transformation came from a massacre. This kind of character has a complex emotional background because of his own experience problems, and even blackening has a clear purpose.
However, Bai Lu simply showed the image of an evil woman.
Just like she understands the role of the male protagonist.
The male protagonist is a character who has suffered since childhood and has never received any love, resulting in psychological distortion. But in Bai Lu's view, the male protagonist is a villain, very bad, can open big, very cool. You see, her understanding of roles is not very similar to the definition of "male" and "female".
What is the real understanding of the character? The same blackening, the same fairy drama, actor Guo Xiaoting was convincing when talking about his role in "First Acquaintance with Jun, Just Like the Return of the Dead".
I myself think that playing a villain must not just play her evil and bad. When playing the villain, you must play her fear.
In this way, the audience will feel that you are a bad person, and at the same time, they can also feel that there are reasons for saying that you are bad.
It is precisely this understanding that Guo Xiaoting has won more audience love even if she is not the protagonist in this drama.
In the end, it doesn't matter if Bailu is really a "spiritual man" or just a persona. People's intolerance and intolerance of her is still based on "unworthiness".
There is no shortage of female stars in the entertainment industry who dare to speak and speak out, but having works is the foundation.
There is no shortage of titles of this "emperor" and that "master" in the entertainment industry, but these have never been the basis for supporting them to walk in their acting careers.
Gender traits are never a cage that limits them. Professionalism and confidence are.
