Recently, Lu Yi, who has not appeared on the screen for a long time, came with his new work "Warm, Sweet", partnering Song Qian and Chen Yanxi, playing a scumbag who is not too much of a protagonist in the play.
In a certain confrontation scene, Song Qian cried embarrassed, and it was obvious that Lu Yi did not catch the play, although he was deliberately creating a kind of sadness, but in addition to "bitter hatred", no other emotions were expressed.
Lu Yi is 47 years old, and it is no exaggeration to say that in addition to the increase in wrinkles that climb on his face over the years, Lu Yi's acting skills are still stuck in his youth, and there has not been much progress.
And the fact that his acting skills have not improved is definitely a big "disaster" for middle-aged Lu Yi.
(Red too easily)
Just look at his career path. To be honest, the last time Little 8 had an impression of his character, it was still in "In the Name of the People".
But in that drama, Lu Yi's "dragging his feet" is also quite obvious.
In "In the Name of the People", almost all the powerful factions, and with them on the stage, Lu Yi's acting skills are clearly exposed.
Obviously, he is the decent protagonist with the most scenes in it, but the supporting actors are all fired, and Wu Gang, who plays "Secretary Dakang", is still out of the circle, but Lu Yi has encountered almost all the denials and complaining voices, and the spit voices of acting with his mouth are constant.
(After 6 years, there are still complaints)
"In the Name of the People" is a big-production high-reputation drama, which set off a ratings frenzy in China that year, but Lu Yi did not catch this rare "gift" in his career, and after that, he rarely participated in the filming of such a large-scale production.
In the second year, he and Yuan Quan starred in "When the Wind Rises Again", the reputation did not pass, the play was quite pasty, and most importantly, Lu Yi's face also began to collapse; And another anti-drug theme "Hunting Scoundrel" starring Lu Yi has not been broadcast so far.
He really can't carry the banner.
Therefore, then, Lu Yi rarely starred in film and television dramas, and did not have many roles in "Ideal Shines on China".
The road of formal dramas does not work, and the road of idol dramas is also difficult, and the most important reason is age.
It is obvious that with the decline of appearance, Lu Yi's career has also entered a period of decline in all directions, not without attempts, but his strength has not kept up, and the good opportunities have been messed up.
Over the years, Lu Yi has tried idol dramas, but the handsome face that makes his face red and heartbeat is no longer there, and his tall posture has also encountered the dilemma of fortune.
In 2013, Lu Yi starred in Yu Zheng's "Palace Locked City", which received an ultra-low score of 3.9, and the main object of netizens' bombardment was Yu Zheng, who was suspected of plagiarism, and Yuan Shanshan, who was not very beautiful, at that time, Lu Yi's reputation was quite good.
After all, before that, his image in the hearts of the public was "Never Blind", "Like Fog Like Rain and Like Wind", and "Langcai Female Appearance"... Each one has a good reputation and a high national reputation.
(When I was young, I was as beautiful as a Greek statue)
Therefore, at that time, many netizens questioned, why did Lu Yi "go down" to perform a bad drama?
But after 10 years of looking back, I found that Lu Yi became a "national male god" by relying almost on his face, and now he can really expose the level he should have.
Like him, there are really many male stars who rely on "handsomeness" when they are young, but gradually "desperate" in middle age.
In the "Four Beauty of the World" of that year, there were 3 who were like this. Qiao Zhenyu won't say much, his career has not improved, he rarely has the opportunity to be a male protagonist, and now he also plays supporting roles from time to time.
Whether it is Yan Yikuan, Zhong Hanliang or Huo Jianhua, they are now being questioned.
Yan Yikuan's role out of the circle is mostly a supporting role, or the kind of "beautiful and miserable" character with attractive characters, in recent years, the works have been continuous, but the influence has become close to nothing, and the invalid performance is interpreted clearly, the work is not an online drama, or a rotten variety show.
In addition to the appearance has not changed much, the career basically can't turn over much.
Look at Huo Jianhua again, the audience is familiar with him, more because of dramas like "The Legend of Sword and Fairy 3" and "Flower Thousand Bones", "War Changsha" is also more due to the good director and good script, for Huo Jianhua, who has good looks, it is not a difficult thing to fight acting skills in this kind of drama.
But when he wanted to transform, the drawbacks were exposed, and a "Ruyi Legend" made him the object of group ridicule, and was "hanged" by Zhou Xun, who had powerful acting skills.
Not long after that, Huo Jianhua retired, although he said that he did not act because he did not meet the right role, but it is clear that even if the opportunity arises, he may not be able to seize it.
Zhong Hanliang is also like this, although he is properly maintained, and his older appearance in "Why Sheng Xiao Mo" also has a good reputation, but it is true that his decline has become more and more obvious over the years.
In order to retain his youth, Zhong Hanliang is often controversial for excessive medical beauty, and the actresses he cooperates with are getting younger and younger, in addition to circling in youth idol dramas, they have been completely "abandoned" by the drama circle.
The face also looks stiff because of excessive medical beauty, and the appearance is no longer good.
The same happened to Yan Chengxu. Not long after his debut, he acted in the popular "Meteor Garden" in Asia and successfully became the top Asian at that time.
After that, he also lacked strength and kept spinning around in idol dramas, but there was no more pomp and circumstance of "Meteor Garden".
At the beginning of this year, 46-year-old Yan Chengxu and 24-year-old young actress He Ran played a couple, thanks to Yan Chengxu's good maintenance, the CP sense of the two is quite sufficient, but as they grow older, I don't know how long Yan Chengxu can walk in idol dramas.
This group of post-70s actors who became popular by their appearance have no acting skills, and their appearance has declined year by year, and it is inevitable that their careers will decline.
And there are several post-80s male stars, and the decline has begun to slowly show.
Male star Peng Yuyan is such an example, since April 2022, he has almost disappeared from the public eye.
Until I participated in the event some time ago, I looked a lot older.
In previous years, Peng Yuyan's resources can not be described as bad: he cooperated with the famous director Xu Anhua in "The First Incense", starred in "Evil Does Not Suppress Righteousness" directed by Jiang Wen, and "Operation Mekong", "Guild War" and other well-known works in China.
Although Peng Yuyan has been the protagonist a lot, he is mostly the starring actor of a big production, and the actors he cooperates with are also big coffee, but Peng Yuyan's acting skills are not outstanding.
Many people are even more attracted by his appearance, a toned muscle, can be called the hormones of the entertainment industry, in addition to hard work, Peng Yuyan's acting skills also make him always have resources and "soar" can not "soar", always bad breath.
Nowadays, with the increase of age, the appearance and body are not so resistant, and there is not much box office appeal, and it is expected that the decline will occur.
The "master brother" Chen Weiting, who became popular because of "Ancient Sword and Strange Tan", is also like this.
At the hottest time of the year, Chen Weiting was close to the status of a first-line male star, and the national reputation was not low, but to let the audience say what Chen Weiting was "famous", but it made people scratch their heads: singing? Chen Weiting has nothing out of the loop. Acting? The acting skills are not much brilliant.
Looking at his report card in the past two years, at the end of 2021 and Yang Mi starring in "Mrs. Huzhu", although there is popularity, but the reputation is not passing, Chen Weiting is not as popular as Yang Mi, and the degree of discussion is not high.
The starring movies are even more rotten, the quality is not high, not many people watch it at all, Chen Weiting, who became popular as a traffic idol, has not paid much attention to it except for fans who are still "struggling".
Therefore, the audience rarely sees Chen Weiting appear in film and television dramas, and more often shuttles through various variety shows so as not to be forgotten by the audience.
But no high-quality works came out, and it can be predicted that Chen Weiting's "red" has been very short-lived.
The above male stars, they all have one thing in common, that is, when they were young, they all became the top of the entertainment industry because of a handsome face and short-lived aura.
However, they did not sink their hearts when they were young, and they were destined to be abandoned by the film and television industry step by step, and when they reached middle age, their downhill path went faster than ordinary stars.
