In the past two years, riding the train of the times, the tide of national dramas has surged forward. At the same time, relying on the soaring national drama, a group of good actors have also been sent to the hot search, among which the "ugly handsome" male stars who occupy the high position of the current topic are the "ugly handsome" male stars who have come out of the circle with their acting skills.
As the name suggests, "ugly handsome" is a new definition of "non-standard beautiful man". This "ugliness" has a unique beauty that is not bound by delicate facial features, and is full of primitive and wild hormonal taste; And this kind of "handsome" is under the blessing of the actor's acting skills, showing the right tension, so that the audience not only believes in the role, but also wants to explore the actor himself.
The explosion of "ugly handsome" male stars means that at the creative level, the film and television industry has further got rid of the shackles of capital and traffic, opening a new round of "content-led market" trend, and also marking the gradual separation of public aesthetics from a single aesthetic, a film and television industry belonging to the acting school, with a solid evaluation standard of "speaking by strength".
Therefore, according to the summary of netizens and the observation of the editor, the following nominations were produced:
"Dumb Bridegroom" Jiang Qiming
Two weeks have passed since the finale of "The Long Season", but the audience has not forgotten the "dumb groom" Jiang Qiming who did not have a single line. Small eyes, high cheekbones, and even a bit of a small-town youthful temperament, but as long as you have watched the TV series, you can know where his charm is.
In the play, when Fu Weijun, played by Jiang Qiming, first appeared, he was obedient and ruthless, took off his hearing aid with a careless smile, stared at the "prey" in front of him like an eagle falcon, and splashed its blood on the ground without hesitation. This sense of barbarism, which has not been domesticated by society, bursts out with rough and unruly sexual tension.
But the audience's perception of him soon turns into a sense of sadness caused by a sense of brokenness. Fu Weijun has always been a tragic teenager struggling on the edge of darkness, his parents died since he was a child, he was not treated by his adoptive parents because he was deaf and mute, and he lived alone in an orphanage. He and his sister depend on each other and protect their only relatives with their fights on the streets. The appearance of the wine girl Yin Hong made him feel the throbbing of love for the first time, and even dared not look directly into her eyes shyly.
But when he learned that his sister killed Yin Hong, the death of love made him sad and helpless. Crazy ruthlessness and extreme vulnerability, these two different and even contradictory characteristics, harmoniously existed in Fu Weijun. It is also this "sense of contradiction" that has unknowingly attacked the city in the hearts of the audience.
"Story Face" Zhang Yu
Zhang Yu has a natural "story face", and people will unconsciously weaken their attention to his facial features, but want to spy on his heart. Before Zhang Yu, everyone did not delve into where their aesthetics were rooted, but when the taciturn, emaciated, and generous "yellow hair" who died generously for thousands of patients appeared, the audience unconsciously fell in.
But Zhang Yu in "I Am Not the God of Medicine", "sexy" is sealed. When he cut off a yellow hair and turned into Song Hao in "Calm Waves", his sexiness was completely out of the circle.
Song Hao is a person abandoned by life, he was originally an honor student, the college entrance examination guarantee quota was replaced, Yin Yang was accidentally involved in the murder incident, and he could only live in a foreign land and become a sculpture factory worker in a muddle. Pan Xiaoshuang's appearance was like a sharp blade, piercing the soft inner part of his tightly wrapped interior.
There is a scene in the play where Song Hao rejects Pan Xiaoshuang, and when Pan Xiaoshuang sits on his body, the reaction of a man's body is undoubted. Zhang Yu carved Song Hao's helpless shame and repressed desire into a gurgling "sense of brokenness", which is difficult not to move.
"Rubik's Cube actor" Zhang Yichi
Zhang Yichi has an almost opposite look to the real handsome guy, neither the impeccable handsome face of Jincheng Wu, nor Peng Yuyan's tendon meat and eight-pack abs, but how did this man who is not yet red make the audience have a trace of desire to lick the screen?
This may have something to do with his super "plasticity". Li Yiyi in "The Wandering Earth" is a programmer with a burst IQ and can write "Twelve Rings of the Spring Festival", but the comedy attributes of "poisonous tongue" and "talking" make him add a different flavoring to the tense plot as soon as he appears.
Demon in "Apostle Walker 2" is vicious, with an evil and weird smile on his face, which makes people shudder. Yan Furui in "Si Ten" has a bumpy life but a kind heart, a sense of justice but is very timid, and different temperaments complement each other under Zhang Yichi's interpretation. And the rough texture of the little characters at the bottom in "Thirteen Years of Dust" is completely different from the characters created before.
Wu Xiaowen is a scoundrel on the surface, but in fact he is a poor person who was slapped by life but has no power to fight back. His grandfather was a well-known painter, and before liberation his family was capitalists, and there were two large courtyards with more than a dozen rooms in the old city, which were later confiscated. After implementing the policy, he wanted to return, but the original residents refused to move, and he never wanted to return, and his father was angry to death. The library and stationery store are Wu Xiaowen's ideal country and home, but the police step by step have made him accumulate a lot of resentment against all public authorities. Having learned to write well and draw well, he could have been an intellectual, but he could only deliberately slip his tongue and make an ugly face.
In the last scene, Wu Xiaowen was overwhelmed by the police's step by step, and finally went to a dead end, setting fire to his family's old house with gasoline, even if the gasoline splashed his face, he completely ignored it. Wu Xiaowen is like a wisp of duckweed in the torrent of the times, unable to hope that tomorrow will be better, and can only fight all injustices with "fish dead net breaking". Zhang Yichi grasps the powerlessness and resentment of the little people abandoned by the times just right, and uses subtlety to reflect the grandeur, hidden behind his subtle performances. Under his shaping, Wu Xiaowen has also become the most "uncomfortable" character in the audience's heart.
In the entertainment industry, personalized actors with "plasticity" have always been scarce goods, and what is even more scarce is actually their acting skills and the sense of story supported by their acting skills. Zhang Yichi is like a Rubik's Cube, a person with a thousand faces and flexible changes, every time he breaks and rebuilds, he will give the audience a new look. His appearance is a great blessing in the entertainment industry, and it is also the biggest reward for good actors.
"Sultry and invisible" Wang Xiao
Speaking of Wang Xiao, most viewers know him through "Three Lives and Three Lives and Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms". Although Si Ming Xingjun, played by him in the play, is not handsome enough, he still relies on his personality charm to have countless fans. Yang Ke in "The Golden Years" is unique and fierce in work, and in private is a charming female friend. Although the character is good, if you are not careful, you will fall into the double minefield of greasy and didactic, but Wang Xiao has the sense of proportion of the character just right.
And Yang Jian in "Crazy" changed from the captain of the anti-drug detachment to the umbrella of the black forces, and Wang Xiao interpreted the most complex "gray" of the role between black and white, allowing the audience to feel his charm again.
Since entering the industry, Wang Xiao has frequently appeared in major hit dramas, even if he is not the protagonist, he is also shining. In the words of netizens, Wang Xiao's performance "has its own tone", does not show its edge and is not disjointed, and reveals a steady and steady "sense of relaxation" between his gestures, and this sense of relaxation can always be sultry and invisible, so that some viewers describe Wang Xiao as having "tractor looks, Ferrari temperament". Now Wang Xiao is using his strength to leverage traffic, and the national popularity is steadily improving.
"Villain artist" Feng Bing
"Tell Lao Mo, I want to eat fish", becoming the hottest Internet meme in 2023. And Lao Mo's actor Feng Bing also made many viewers exclaim: Such a good actor, how did he find out now!
In "Crazy", Lao Mo does not have much ink, but Feng Bing shapes the character into a three-dimensional and plump one. In order to marry his girlfriend, Lao Mo took a desperate step and robbed a taxi and was sentenced to prison. When he heard that his girlfriend outside prison had beaten his child, Lao Mo was deeply in the mud. At this time, An Xin told him that his daughter was still alive, and he decided to change his mind and become a new person.
If An Xin gave Lao Mo hope to live, then Gao Qiqiang gave him dignity and decency in life. For the sake of this dignity, Lao Mo was willing to become Gao Qiqiang's killing tool. Lao Mo kills like a numb, but when facing his daughter, he always maintains a trace of tenderness, without the slightest ferocity.
Under Feng Bing's interpretation, Lao Mo's lonely, moral, and incomplete personality is delicate, and the audience can feel the rugged heart of the characters from a few simple lines. After leaving the role, many audiences are still willing to explore the personal charm of Feng Bing as an actor.
In recent years, acting schools have attracted more and more attention, and drama bones, uncle circles, and sister Lang have become high-frequency words that are hotly discussed inside and outside the industry in turn, but no matter how the topic characters change, they ultimately point to the same fact: in the post-traffic era, acting + traffic is no longer a false proposition. For the "ugly handsome" male stars who are at the peak of traffic, appearance is obviously not the primary standard, and the inner temperament tension is the key to hitting people's hearts. With the blessing of acting skills, every inch of their vivid charm is worth excavating.
