Yan Ni's new drama "Grandma's New World" has been broadcast for many days, and while the plot is getting more and more exciting, the audience's evaluation of Yan Ni is getting higher and higher.
The direction of praise is also very simple, everyone saw Yan Ni's breakthrough in this drama.
First, the breakthrough of acting skills, Yan Ni this time in the play one person to play the N role, twin sisters, multiple age stages, each role Yan Ni can be in place, some people use even "supernatural" to evaluate her acting skills in the play.
In addition to acting skills, another admirable thing is Yan Ni's courage to break through her age.
Just as the title of the play "Grandma's New World" presents, Yan Ni plays a grandmother this time, and it is the grandmother of a girl who graduated from college. Based on the age of her granddaughter, the grandmother role played by Yan Ni is conservatively estimated to be more than 60 years old.
Yan Ni plays a very substitutionary role in the play, as if she is a person of that age, but in fact, Yan Ni is only in her early 50s when she plays this role (started in May 2021).
Before this role, Yan Ni played basically middle-aged female images, in "Youth Pi" broadcast last year, her role was still the mother of a college student, and this year she directly played the grandmother of a college student.
Although he is played across ages, he does not see a sense of violation at all in the play. Because in order to play this role well, Yan Ni has made a lot of efforts, first of all, changes in makeup, dyeing gray hair, painting age spots, sticking wrinkles, boiling out eye bags...
This set of makeup that dressed up as old and ugly, Yan Ni was more than ten years old.
On the other hand, in order to play a good old man, Yan Ni also pays special attention and attention to her acting skills and posture, with a tall figure, stiff limbs, and slow movements... So even if it's just a static photo, you can feel the characteristics of her character.
The audience's feeling is the best affirmation, some people praise Yan Ni and Liu Lin in "Grandma's New World", they really have the strength to play the old man, and the old man they play in this way is convincing.
Even if in some shots, Yan Ni's face still has the stiffness of the injection, but her acting skills and attitude are enough to bring people into the scene, and even slowly ignore these small flaws.
Yan Ni had been given beauty injections before, and she was also surprised by her appearance and had age anxiety, so she went to cut her eyelids and get beauty injections.
After the age of 45, she began to frequently appear on the red carpet to market her girlishness and anti-growth.
But that was Yan Ni a few years ago, and now she has entered the 50-year-old mark, she also thinks more thoroughly, she chooses to reconcile with wrinkles, and says that she will not be injected again.
In terms of role selection, she no longer sets limits for herself, so she took "Grandma's New World", and while playing the role of grandmother across ages, she also crossed the comfort zone of acting and opened a "new world" for herself.
But not everyone can achieve Yan Ni's sudden awakening and reconciliation with age. There are most stars in the entertainment industry who "do not accept the old" and "play young", otherwise the Yatou Sect will not grow every year.
This year's new "girl" Jiang Wenli, she talked about bloody "sister-brother love" with a nearly 50-year-old and a 36-year-old Ming Dao, with a good reputation before the defeat of a drama.
43-year-old Ye Xuan, playing an 18-year-old girl in "Mrs. Zhao Guo", partner's male director Shigeya starred as a 20-year-old young man with a 44-year-old bacon face....... The two middle-aged people with a combined age of nearly 100 years old, but in the play, they pouted and rubbed their skins to pretend to be tender in love.
Even if they look in the mirror before the show and look at their forehead lines and double chin, they will not be so self-aware.
46-year-old Ma Yili plays a bright beauty who is only 26 years old in the performance scene in "Dragon City", and Jiao Jiao, who plays her father, is just 45 years old, and 48-year-old Liu Lin is playing her elder third aunt...
Only more than four months have passed in 2023, and the "Young Guy Sect" and "Girl Sect" in the entertainment industry have several more elder-level figures.
From this point of view, the vicissitudes of grandmother played by Yan Ni are particularly clear among the young guys and girls this year.
In the Dress Up Sect, part of it is "fear of old age". Many actresses do not want to play old, because they are afraid that they will not be able to go back after playing old, and they are afraid that their own drama path will be limited to this in the future.
Therefore, although Yang Mi is no longer young, but is afraid that she will not be able to return to the idol drama market after playing the role of "mother" and "aunt", even if the beauty and skin grinding are maximized, she must grit her teeth and play a girl.
The other part of the people are "not obedient to old age", they have reached the age where they should play the elders, but they seem to bite to death and do not admit it, then they are still twenty-eight girls and hot-blooded teenagers.
Yan Ni is 50 years old and is playing an old man in his 60s, but Liu Xiaoqing is 65 years old but playing a 28-year-old girl, in order to cover up the sense of age, the late dermabrasion is almost glowing.
Some people, in the state of "not accepting old age", gradually deceive themselves and give birth to a certain sense of self-confidence. 50-year-old Carina Lau in "Half a Life", tied up her tender double ponytail and put on pink lipstick, starring in Gu Manlu, who is in her twenties.
Carina Liu never got too entangled in the issue of age, and even confidently thought: "Gu Manlu should be played by me." ”
Wu Qilong, 42 years old, challenged to play 19-year-old Zhuo Yihang in "The Legend of the New White-Haired Witch"; 46-year-old starred in the role of young overlord; The 51-year-old is still acting in a love scene with an actress 24 years younger...
And when asked in the interview about his age difference with the character, he was full of confidence: "Age is not a problem, I maintain it well." ”
He can even shout an actress younger than him: "Actresses should cherish the opportunity to cooperate with me, in the past, they played my sister and wife, and they may play my mother in the future." ”
I don't know who Wu Qilong said this big thing to, but it is certain that it definitely does not include Chen Derong and Lin Xinru, because they can't play their mother to death, and even think that playing a mother is a great shame.
From another direction, their attitude is stubbornness that does not want to obey the old, even if they are forty or fifty years old, they are unwilling to accept that they play an older role in front of the camera.
Shouldn't the "great shame" they call actually what an actor should do? Actors should interpret the world, and the kind of people who have been living in the dreams of youth without obedience are not good actors.
Yan Ni has also rejected wrinkles, but she wants to be a good actor. After realizing that the injection would ruin her acting skills, she gave up maintaining her "youth" and now uses a "grandmother" role to prove her attitude.
Movie queen Yongmei also said that after gladly accepting the aging and wrinkles on her face, she will be more relaxed and free. Age is not the enemy, and the wrinkled face is a tribute to the truth, to the time.
Their calmness about aging and wrinkles does not know how many stars who "teach girls" and "guys teach" will blush.
No one will stay young forever, but the work and word of mouth will be an actor's eternal confidence. Yan Ni used her own proof to gain the recognition of the audience, which is far more fulfilling than using injections to market frozen age and reverse growth.
