Recently, a nomination list for the Magnolia Award sent the 36-year-old Yang Mi to several hot searches, this battle is comparable to the popularity behind the scenes, but a closer look shows that Yang Mi is not eligible to be nominated.
This year's Magnolia post-nominees are Sun Li, Tan Zhuo, Wu Yue, Yin Tao and Zhao Liying.
Although Yang Mi has two works, "The Twenty-Eight Laws of Love" and "Thank You Doctor", he was not shortlisted for post-nomination.
And the reason why Yang Mi, who did not even have a nomination, was "tied" to the Magnolia Award, in addition to some people who unfortunately Yang Mi was not unlucky for Magnolia, the bigger reason is that Zhao Liying, who is also 85 flowers, was shortlisted for the post-viewing nomination, and fans even made a comparison of Yang Mi and Zhao Liying's "achievements" in the film and television industry over the years.
The list of the Magnolia Awards this time obviously distanced Zhao Liying and Yang Mi from each other, and compared to beauty and traffic, an authoritative award in the circle is the most powerful proof.
Yang Mi's fans moved out Yang Mi's achievements that won the Magnolia nomination and the most popular award many years ago, saying that Yang Mi is also an actress who has won the Magnolia Award, trying to win back a game for Yang Mi, but it was found that Yang Mi did not win the post-viewing award, but only the most popular actress award, which has now been canceled.
In 2017, Yang Mi won the Queen of the Houston International Film Festival with "Rescue Against Time", but the gold content of this award is not high.
Yang Mi became famous earlier than Zhao Liying, when Zhao Liying had not yet squeezed into 85 flowers, Yang Mi was already the "queen of ancient puppet dramas", and Zhao Liying was also "badly commented" by netizens because she posted a complain that she was mistakenly recognized by netizens as Yang Mi.
Even now, Yang Mi's resources and traffic are still the top figures in 85 flowers, but as he gets older, it is undeniable that Yang Mi has indeed fallen into career difficulties.
Strength can't keep up with traffic
Although she is still the "queen of traffic", Yang Mi has still not won the more valuable awards in China, and even the ancient puppet dramas and idol dramas that she is best at have begun to decline.
"Mrs. Huzhu" and "The Twenty-Eight Laws of Love" have successively declined in word of mouth, which has proved that Yang Mi's original "route" is no longer viable.
Netizens gradually "don't buy" Yang Mi, mainly for two reasons, the first is that her acting skills are not up to par. Now 36 years old, Yang Mi has not let everyone see breakthroughs and surprises in his acting skills.
Second, Yang Mi's state began to decline, in "The Twenty-Eight Laws of Love", although Yang Mi's body is well maintained, his facial condition is obviously not as good as before, and it is difficult to support the "idol drama" with a tired face.
Look at the big hit dramas of ancient puppet dramas and idol dramas in the past two years, "Ignite Me to Warm You", "Canglan Tips" and "Star Han Splendid" are all young flowers, with Yang Mi's qualifications and age, it is not easy to "compete with young flowers" now.
The same is 85 flowers, Zhao Liying has obviously had a mind for transformation in the past two years, and the success of "Happiness to Ten Thousand Homes" and "Wind Blowing Half Summer" also made her stand out among the crowd of 85 flowers, compared to Yang Mi, who is still struggling in the "ancient puppet drama", Zhao Liying has found a "way out" for herself.
Yang Mi's "confidence" hurt her
Looking back at Yang Mi's acting career, it is not difficult to see that her current situation is actually caused by her. Yang Mi, who has been "living" in the crew since she was a child, was said by Li Shaohong a long time ago that her biggest problem is that her acting skills are too programmatic, but her brain.
Yang Mi herself has admitted that Li Shaohong said that the biggest shortcoming in her acting skills is that there are too many procedural things that need to be changed, but this process is painful, and Yang Mi herself does not know how to do it.
On the one hand, Yang Mi lamented that it was not easy to improve his acting skills, but on the other hand, he did not seem to really make up his mind to hone his acting skills. When asked about acting skills before, Yang Mi said more than once that for her, acting skills are not important and she is not in a hurry.
But it turns out that when the entertainment industry abandons you, it doesn't give you a lot of time to prepare. When Yang Mi filmed "Embroidered Spring Dao 2", director Lu Yang hit the nail on the head and pointed out Yang Mi's problems, saying that Yang Mi is an actor with high emotional intelligence and IQ, but she is too busy filming and is used to filming with the highest efficiency, hoping that she can have less skill and experience life more when acting.
Some group actors revealed that when Yang Mi was acting in an opponent scene, as long as the camera was not facing her, she would not act. This "incoherent" acting method cannot let the actors into the play at all, so the things that come from the performance are also very "embarrassing".
"Experiencing life" takes time, but at the peak of Yang Mi's career, she really didn't have this "time".
At that time, Chen Hong wanted Yang Mi to star in "Search", which was also a good opportunity for Yang Mi's transformation, but at that time, Yang Mi filmed four or five plays at the same time, which is known as "rolling plays" by the outside world, Chen Hong felt that an actor filmed four or five crews at the same time, and it was impossible to calm down and ponder the role, so he gave up Yang Mi.
When Yang Mi was busiest, it was rumored that she filmed 11 plays a year. She once revealed that she did not dare to tell the crew that she was filming other scenes at the same time.
Yang Mi who regrets
Of course, Yang Mi did not try "self-help". In 2018, Yang Mi starred in the reality movie "Baby", although this movie allowed Yang Mi to win the Houston film queen, but only 5.3 points on a certain platform, not even a passing score.
What's more deadly is that Yang Mi's acting skills in this movie have not been recognized, and it also made netizens sigh that acting skills do not need to be ugly to prove it. After that, Yang Mi could only go back to the world of "ancient puppet drama".
After turning 35, Yang Mi finally "knew his mistake". She took over "Harbin 1944" and was willing to star in it twice, and also posted that the role should make way for the position.
In the interview, Yang Mi admitted that she had always said that she wanted to be a good actor, but she was really content with the status quo, and now she wants to tear it up and do it well, hoping that she will not live up to everyone's hopes.
When filming "Harbin 1944", Yang Mi also specially hired an acting teacher, saying that he would smash lines at home with the acting teacher every day, hoping that he could better absorb and digest what the director brought to the actors.
Yang Mi also shared that he has made a lot of preparations for the new play in advance, will go to understand and attend classes in advance, to understand the knowledge in the play, and will also borrow the director's book to go back to learn.
It can be seen from Yang Mi's interview that this time she seems determined to use time and energy to act well, but whether Yang Mi can "save herself" successfully depends on whether there are surprises in her acting skills in the end.
36-year-old Yang Mi, her acting career is not a failure from a "commercial" point of view, but it is not a success from another point of view, and now Yang Mi, who plans to "film well", does not know if she can succeed.
