Did you join "Ember Gate"?
From the filming of Reuters to the official launch, the popularity of the ancient puppet fairy drama "Long Moon Ember Ming" can be described as high. Among them, the actor who attracts the most attention from the audience is none other than the actor Luo Yunxi. After all, there are still very few actors who can cause the audience of ancient puppets to collectively shout "spring is back" with their fixed makeup photos.
From the beginning of the broadcast to the broadcast period, Luo Yunxi has been constantly on the hot search, among which there are many words of recognition about his acting skills and performance, such as #Luo Yunxi Changyue Ember Ming casting gesture ## Luo Yunxi Changyue Ember Ming character interpretation degree ## Luo Yunxi acting skills# and so on. Of course, there are also some doubts about its thin appearance. So that many netizens began to recall him during the Runyu and Shangguan Tou periods.
As a "living person in internal entertainment", Luo Yunxi himself also responded to the controversy on Weibo for the first time, telling the audience that he was watching the drama and adding meals, and at the same time did not forget to collect recipes from netizens, and the interaction also brought the relationship with the audience closer. More than half a month after the broadcast, Luo Yunxi attracted the attention of many "happy people" with his social cow character, and even caused netizens to ridicule: time did not take away Luo Yunxi's beauty, but took away his "embarrassing silk" (derived from the "love silk" setting in the play, people without ruthless silk do not understand love, and people without embarrassing silk are never embarrassed).
In fact, this is not the first time that Luo Yunxi has attracted attention because of his body shape. The most recent was the urban drama "Chaser of Light" starring him and Wu Qian last year. Robben, played by him, as the main member of the chasing light rescue team, every appearance caused the audience to ask: "Can this small body do the rescue work?" ”
Similarly, in "Long Moon Ember Ming", as soon as the thin-faced and narrow-shouldered demon god Tangtai Ember appeared, it attracted the audience's ridicule in the barrage area, bluntly saying that Setai Ember is beautiful, but not domineering enough. It was not until the copy "Like Ruo Fusheng" was launched and the audience saw Luo Yunxi's Shangqing War God Night, that the voice of the commentary gradually changed track, thinking that Luo Yunxi's slender body is still more suitable for immortal characters who do not eat human fireworks.

Enjoyable, one person decorates the triangle
The story structure of "Long Moon Ember Ming", although it looks cool and fancy, does not actually jump out of the thinking paradigm of the ancient puppet drama "Three Lives and Three Lives". In the play, Luo Yunxi alone played the triangle, which were Tangtai Ember, Hades Night and Cangjiu Min.
As a demon god who can slaughter gods and destroy the sky and gather minions on the top, whether it is the heyday of his first appearance or the arc laying in the subsequent plot, he is bound to be an evil character with skills, dares to break the rules, and is domineering. Judging from the scenes currently broadcast, Luo Yunxi did grasp the method of interpreting the embers in his eyes and movements.
For example, in the scene where Tangtai Ember uses crows to take revenge at Xiao Rin and Ye Bingchang's wedding banquet, he uses large circles, waving hands, and individual body movements that are biased towards stage performance, coupled with hollow, ruthless and slightly playful eyes, to convey the madness and madness of Tangtai Ember who is blinded by hatred at this time.
In terms of details, Luo Yunxi's speculation is also in place. Facing Ye Bingchang, who was frightened and retreated from him, his gaze was sharp and a little provocative, and as soon as the silent gesture came out, not only Ye Bingchang in the play was so frightened that he did not dare to make a sound, but the audience outside the play would also be disturbed by this freak.
Facing Ye Xiwu who came with a sword, his eyes could not only see disappointment and loneliness, but also showed a trace of unbearability and expectation, these complex emotions came from his past disdain for Ye Xiwu, and also contained Ye Xiwu's gradually rising feelings for her after her sex change. When he found that the sword in Ye Xiwu's hand was aimed at the crow instead of him, although Tangtai Ash's expression did not change, there was light and relief in his eyes.
The deep evil charm of the Ember City Mansion and the sickness under the fence, Luo Yunxi really performed well.
But as a demon god born with a demon bone, he is domineering, but he is a little weak. This is partly due to his thin figure, and partly due to the lack of precision in detail.
When it comes to the classic image of the demon god, the first reaction of most fairy drama fans is mostly the magic building in "The Legend of Sword and Fairy III". In terms of the exaggeration of the image, the shape of the heavy building is much bolder than that of the Tangtai Ember, but because of the burly appearance and good appearance of actor Huang Zhiwei, coupled with the ignorance of love in the early stage of the heavy building and the heartfelt interpretation in the later stage, even if the character is quite good and evil, it has also become the white moonlight in the hearts of many audiences.
Looking at Tangtai Ember again, if thinness is inevitable, then his handling of details will shape the demon god into domineering and feminine. In the scene where Tangtai Ember returns to Jingguo under the support of the mother Yiyue Clan, in the face of Ye Xiwu, who is trying to escape his control, Tangtai Ember's reaction is not to regard it as the control and domination of the things in his palm, but to tease and tease, which is inevitably a little out of line.
As a proton who has been painstakingly planning and dormant for many years, although Tangtai Ember has been bullied, he should be proud and unruly in his bones. For example, in the face of the questioning of the group of ministers, in addition to being calm and relaxed, there should also be a sense of solemnity that is not angry and self-threatening, and a sense of coldness that conveys emotions with his eyes. After all, he is the prince of Jingguo, and the dignity of his status determines that when he is in power, he will definitely show a sense of control over the overall situation and a sense of oppression in a high position. Even if it is to use broth to solve the barrier, it should be a state of half-grace and half-coercion, not a good negotiation that leaves room for good use.
In addition, his handling of individual movements, such as the details of swinging his hands and playing with pigtails from time to time, also compromised Ember's kingly temperament.
The night is a character in the copy line of "Floating Life", which is more in line with Luo Yunxi's image. But when it comes to immortals, most people's first reaction is coldness, compassion, and not eating human fireworks, and Luo Yunxi's slender body invisibly contributes to the immortal qi and remoteness in the corner of the night.
In the scene where the two recuperate in the bamboo forest after being rescued by mulberry wine in the dark night, the rivalry scene between Luo Yunxi and Bai Lu combing their hair in front of the mirror has become one of the famous scenes in the play. In the face of the lost and recovered mulberry wine, there was surprise, rejoicing, and imperceptible choking and self-blame in the eyes of the night. The person in front of you is the state of the sweetheart, and it is right.
As the god of war in the Shangqing Dynasty, there are many action scenes in the night, such as holding a spear, painting a halberd to the heavens and earth to fight the three realms, hand-to-hand combat, spell casting, etc., everywhere. Luo Yunxi, as a dance graduate majoring in ballet, has an absolute advantage in action scenes, not only coercive and wonderful, but also all kinds of personal play scenes are equally beautiful.
On the whole, his performance in "Long Moon Ember Ming" is not concealed, which can be regarded as good.

The beauty is strong in the play, and the funny man outside the play
Since the role of Runyu in "Fragrant Honey Sinks Like Frost", Luo Yunxi has become a representative actor of "beauty and misery" in ancient puppet dramas, and before that, the only role he remembered by the audience was Xiao He Yichen in the TV series "Why Sheng Xiao Silent".
In 2018, a "Fragrant Honey Sinks Like Frost" allows the audience to see Perfect World's care and sophistication in film and television production, and also sees many actors in the play, Luo Yunxi, who plays the "Little Fish Immortal Official" Runyu, is one of them.
From the small fish fairy official in the early stage, "strangers are like jade, and the son is unparalleled in the world", to the night god hall that began to painstakingly plan and calculate the layout after experiencing the pain of losing his mother, excluding and suppressing, to His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor who usurped the throne and wooed courtiers, Runyu's complete and logical character arc laid a detailed foundation for his performance.
Whether it is the handling of the relationship between the characters or the speculation on the psychological changes of the characters, they are all meticulous in place. The beautiful and miserable Runyu not only greatly enhances the sense of substitution of the side story, his broken and tortuous life has earned enough tears from the audience, and with the help of the role, his performance seems to open the second vein of Ren Du, and began to move from youth to maturity, which makes people's eyes shine.
After that, he frequently played the main roles in costume dramas, such as Rong Qi, who is alienated on the outside and affectionate inside, Shangguan Tou, who has a miserable life and is constantly abandoned in "Heavy Fire on the Moon", and Chu Wanning, who upholds righteousness first in "Haoyi Xing". The audience also recognized Luo Yunxi's costume role, recognized his tall and light figure, handsome and gentle appearance, and classical demeanor, and shouted "I hope Luo Yunxi welds the costume on his body".
It is true that compared with most actors in the industry, Luo Yunxi does have a unique advantage in costume styling. On the one hand, years of dance skills have brought him an excellent posture and temperament, once he puts on makeup and makes movements, the sense of atmosphere can be in place, and similar actors include Liu Shishi, Qiao Zhenyu, who are also dance majors. On the other hand, Luo Yunxi's delicate facial features have both a classical sense and a three-dimensional sense, and once he bursts into tears, he will burst out a sense of fragmentation that I see pity, which is both photogenic and can resonate with the audience.
Everything has advantages and disadvantages, although his costume role is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, but also because Runyu's "beautiful and miserable" setting is too classic, resulting in his role after Runyu, most of them can't get out of this prison. No matter which drama, the role played by Luo Yunxi almost can't escape the two major settings of unfortunate childhood and obsessive protection. In terms of styling, the costume group will definitely prepare him in a white and plain suit, so is Rong Qi, Shangguan Tou is so, and so is Tangtai Ember (Dark Night).
Even his fans saw that Sang Jiu broke the ice heart lamp that he was searching for in the night, and they ridiculed on Weibo: "Why was Luo Yunxi thrown by the heroine again?" From the reverse scale, jade pei, red rope, to the ice heart lamp, there are actually four times! Then, the topic #Thrown tokens is Luo Yunxi's fate, I understand # # Luo Yunxi takes the BE script # and other topics began to ferment and appeared on the entertainment hot search list.
Out of the gentle and deep character setting in the play, Luo Yunxi outside the play is a cheerful and funny social cow. When he has nothing to do, he will sing a song "Good Luck", Kan two sentences of Trump to enliven the atmosphere, and will interact with fans on B station and Weibo from time to time, and will inadvertently contribute some jokes (such as wearing a mask to the bank to handle business, and the result is recognized by the teller) is really a rare "internal entertainment person". Some netizens commented that Luo Yunxi is the appearance of "Dream of Red Mansions", the voice of "Water Margin", and the character of "Journey to the West", which shows the strong contrast between his play and outside the play.
But counting Luo Yunxi's roles, except for Yuan Shuai, the male protagonist of the black poisonous tongue in "Half Honey and Half Injury", other characters have failed to let non-fan groups see the other side of Luo Yunxi. Five years ago, Runyu's riverside review was too classic, and it was still a little difficult for the same type of character to compete with one of them. Under the shackles of the characters, isn't it a pity that interesting souls are not released just right? I can only hope that Luo Yunxi's future role can make up for this deficiency.

How many steps do you need to take to step out of your comfort zone?
After the broadcast of "Long Moon Ember Ming", Luo Yunxi's Weibo rose by 399,000 followers in one week, and Douyin rose by nearly 2 million followers in two weeks. According to the statistics of Yien Entertainment, the main fan group of "Long Moon Ember Ming" is female audiences aged 18-25, and the audience is relatively vertical.
It can be said that the ancient puppet drama can be regarded as Luo Yunxi's performance comfort zone, and the multi-role setting of "Long Moon Ember Ming" this time, although it has made a breakthrough to a certain extent, has not really opened the door of most non-fan mature audiences. When performance in a certain area is close to the ceiling, a crisis of transformation ensues.
For Luo Yunxi, he has played the mortal Rong Qi, played the Heavenly Emperor Runyu, and now he also plays the Demon God Tangtai Ember, opening up various roles within the "Three Realms". And his achievements in ancient puppet dramas, whether in the eyes of the audience or in the eyes of the industry, are remarkable.
And it needs to be considered, as well as the increasing number of practical problems of the same type of actor in the ancient puppet track. For example, there were actors such as Ren Jialun, Yang Yang, Chen Weiting and other actors with similar voices at the same stage, and then there were new actors such as Wang Hedi, Gong Jun, Cheng Yi, Liu Yuning, Wu Lei, Chen Xingxu, Xu Kai, Zhang Linghe and other actors in recent years.
Coupled with the Qinglang action rectification, although the filming of "Hao Yi Xing" for more than 5 months has been completed for two and a half years, there is still no broadcast news, and the invalid filming is not a loss for the actors. From the perspective of the purchasing power of fans, although Luo Yunxi's fans are diehard loyal, their purchasing power is not the most bearing, and the route of taking traffic is not the most preferred.
If you want to transform, you have to change your form factor first. "Long Moon Ember Ming" as a costume drama still needs actors to remain lean, but he is indeed too thin and dry. First train stronger from diet and exercise, at least adjust to leanness.
In terms of drama type, you need to consider more works other than idol dramas. Counting Luo Yunxi's representative works, in addition to "Pediatrician" and "Heartbeat Source Project" filmed in the early years, and "Chaser of Light" broadcast last year, these three dramas can be divided into realistic themes, and the other works are all dramas with love stories as the main idol elements.
The same is true for the actors you work with, feelings are important, and it is equally important to surprise the audience. Cooperate with Wu Qian, Bai Lu, Chen Yuqi and other old partners, after all, it is still the old book of feelings.
Similar to this is also the choice of character type, since the characters of the beautiful and miserable type have Runyu in front, and the elite men of modern dramas also have a topical Yuan Shuai, can future characters make new choices and attempts? Instead of eating more than one fish to make the audience aesthetically fatigued, it is better to search for some new characters with different categories, different settings, and both topicality and novelty.
Whether it is a realistic theme, a costume historical drama, or a suspense drama, it is a considerable blue ocean for actors. Thirty-five-year-old Luo Yunxi is in the golden period of male actors, and trying more is bound to have more possibilities and room for improvement. His old partners Bai Lu and Wu Qian have broadened their footsteps in works such as the TV series "Police Honor" and the movie "Life Events" last year, respectively, and have received a lot of praise.
Whether to make a choice and how to make a choice depends on Luo Yunxi's own and the team's planning. Actors such as Hu Ge and Jin Dong have successfully transformed out of the circle of idol dramas and fairy tale dramas and become all-round actors who can control various works. After all, there are often beautiful men, but I hope that more can successfully transform into powerful beautiful men and continue to dominate the film and television industry.
