From March 25 to May 21, in less than two months, Li Yitong won three awards in a row, and I have to say that this is the biggest humiliation for "Crazy"!
On March 25, Li Yitong won the honor of "Breakthrough Actor of the Year" on Weibo night;
On March 30, Li Yitong won the honor of "Quality Shining Drama Star" at the TV series quality ceremony;
On May 21, Li Yitong won the honor of "Influential Actor of the Year" at the Universal Film and Television Culture Forum.
She is the most awarded actor after "Crazy". But who remembers what she played in "Crazy" now?
The actors in "Crazy" are out of the circle, there are Zhang Songwen (Gao Qiqiang), Gao Ye (sister-in-law), Long Ni (Gao Qilan), and Feng Bing (Lao Mo)... But they didn't win much. In terms of performance, which one is not better than Li Yitong, so Li Yitong's successive awards are really the biggest humiliation of "Crazy".
In "Crazy", Li Yitong, as the female number one, plays Meng Dehai's daughter Meng Yu, and An Xin is a childhood sweetheart, with a cheerful and assertive personality. First went to Beijing to work as a journalist, then returned to Jinghai, at first helped An Xin do undercover to solve the case, and the relationship between the two also went further. Originally, it was already to the point of talking about marriage, but An Xin was forced to break up with her because of safety issues. Since then, the two have parted ways, Meng Yu eventually married Yang Jian, of course, the whole family fell apart, her husband was arrested, and her father was investigated.
This emotional line between Meng Yu and An Xin can be said to be dispensable. Because the promotion of the entire plot story is very limited, especially in the later stage, it can be completely ignored, not only the scenes have become less, plus the reasons for deletion, but also have no effect.
And from the performance point of view, there are not many highlights, but the interpretation of their own comfort zone. Throughout recent years, Li Yitong's works are basically like this.
It can be said that Li Yitong's presence in "Crazy" is the lowest.
Li Yitong is known by the public as a "body cold" physique, and he is often a drama and not a fire.
Unexpectedly, even a big hit like "Crazy" still can't move her, but it makes her win awards one after another.
Her famous work is "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", which is also a relatively successful remake of the classic. Since then, "Between the Clouds" and "Crane Pavilion" have achieved a good reputation, but these works are difficult to associate with Li Yitong. Until today's "Crazy", the public will not think of Li Yitong's performance in the play. Even if the play caught fire, Li Yitong did not catch fire like other actors.
On the one hand, there is a performance problem, and on the other hand, there is a character problem.
But going to see Li Yitong alone is still quite popular and powerful, otherwise he would not be treated so favorably in the circle. Among the post-90s actors, although they are not on the first line, there is never a shortage of filming, and all of them are big dramas, they are all female No. 1, and the salary is not cheap. Without tens of millions, she could not be invited.
Before, because of the resignation of "Wu Gengji" was also a riot.
Because of the unfair treatment of the drama party, Li Yitong resigned from the play. Since then, it has also been strongly supported by well-known producers in the industry, Wang Yixi and Yu Zheng.
And this may be Li Yitong's strength.
Being able to not be kidnapped and not compromise is because of strength, and such strength is indeed not comparable to ordinary actors. A strong network allows her to sit back and relax.
At that time, Yu Zheng praised her as "your acting skills, your uniqueness, unique in the world, and can be worthy of all good scripts".
Wang Yixi also said: "Li Yitong is an actress who is very strict with herself and has a high degree of professionalism. The lines, acting, expressiveness, and concentration are all outstanding. The industry knows that she is low-key, cooperative, always empathetic, and always afraid of causing trouble. ”
Such an evaluation can be said to be quite high, although there may be an exaggerated component, but Li Yitong's good reputation in the industry makes her even if she has a "cold" physique, but she will never be isolated, and she will not be without drama.
Just like now, even if the public thinks that she has the worst acting skills in "Crazy", the role she plays is dispensable, but it does not prevent her from winning awards to be soft.
But what is the use of such an award?
Basically, the awards presented at these three ceremonies are like pork. Although the name is famous and dazzling, the gold content is almost zero. The industry may still know something, but here in ordinary people, these have not even been heard.
At each ceremony, there are many awards awarded, and it can be said that those who see it have a share, regardless of good dramas and bad dramas, they will get awards. Among the award-winning works, there are not a few who fail in word of mouth. The rules of the award are unknown, but seeing such a work win an award will naturally not be recognized by ordinary audiences.
Just like Li Yitong in "Crazy" won the award, other actors did not receive anything.
Li Yitong, as the female number one, will be given preferential treatment in terms of natural awards, but for "Crazy", this is a humiliation.
In fact, Li Yitong himself knows what's going on, he is stained with the light of "Crazy" and the light of other actors. That's why at the Universal Pictures Culture Forum, she said, "This honor belongs to every actor in the crew of "Crazy", and I received it for them." ”
Apparently, she was still awake and not lost.
And this also confirms Wang Yixuan's evaluation of her before.
But it is still difficult for the general public to recognize. After all, "Crazy" is too popular, as of now, the number of views has exceeded 10 billion, a veritable annual hit.
In such a blockbuster drama, it is really difficult to get recognition without some real skills. Of course, it is precisely the wonderful performances of many actors and the solid script that finally achieved the hit. As the female number one, Li Yitong could have caught fire, but helplessly, she still performed mediocre, and was even crushed by many supporting roles, but won the award until she was soft, isn't that just hitting herself in the face?
After the fire of "Crazy", the most praiseworthy actors are Zhang Songwen and Zhang Yi, the two male protagonists, are quite low-key, no wonder they are loved by the public. On the other hand, some other actors are indeed too eager to achieve quick results, after all, such a red, for some actors, may be once in a lifetime, so they want to take the opportunity to make a profit. As everyone knows, such behavior has caused some actors to overturn their cars and lose their reputation.
Why some actors can become artists and become drama bones, that is not only good acting, but also can be a person, after all, actors before actors, first of all, individuals. Therefore, good character and noble quality are the foundation of long-term prosperity. Whether it is a flash in the pan or remembered forever by the world, everything must return to the fundamentals of being a human being. Therefore, the awards are just floating clouds, some people are wise, and some people are confused.
