Even more ignorant than the "desperate illiterate" are the desperate co-class actors
Q: What is the difference between an actor in the past and an actor today?
This question can be answered in many ways.
Let's talk about appearance first, the previous actors were Chinese style, bright and atmospheric, which made people forget the customs.
And the current actors, all of them are great beauties after refinement, but they appear in their original form as soon as they are filmed, and even the anti-Japanese war drama is a large number of "technological faces", which is purely to block the audience.
But the most important thing for an actor is the acting skill, even if the appearance conditions are not so outstanding, as long as the acting skills are online, sooner or later they will be successful.
That Zhang Songwen, who was once complained by the director that he "looks like an ape-man", isn't he popular by acting?
And this is also the most essential difference between old actors and today's actors.
There are two main reasons for the decline in young actors' acting skills.
The first is that the threshold for actors is getting lower and lower, and the film and television industry has become the back garden of the second generation of stars, rich second generations, related households and Internet celebrities, and even the second princess of Huawei and the second son of Holly have begun filming.
The second is because the acting skills of the graduates are not as good as before, and the overall level continues to decline.
For example, everyone knows the 96-level star class of Chinese opera!
There are 17 students in the class, including Zhang Ziyi, Yuan Quan, Qin Hailu, Mei Ting, Zeng Li, Hu Jing, Liu Ye, Qin Hao and others, among which there are many movie stars and queens.
Don't look at their infinite scenery now, when they were studying, they were more "painful" than one!
Chinese drama is very strict with the management of students, if you can't hand in qualified homework, you will be expelled, you are not allowed to go out to film before your sophomore year, students don't want to get up early to practice, and the school directly suspends classes for rectification.
In such a high-pressure environment, many students in Class 96 have plans to drop out.
Liu Ye called his parents directly, saying that he didn't want to miss it, so it was better to go back and repeat his studies and then go to a cultural school.
At that time, Zhang Ziyi was still very young, standing on the stage trembling, so stressed that she called home and said that she wanted to quit school.
Hu Jing was also confused after enrollment, regretted choosing the path of acting, and also had the idea of dropping out of school after pouring bitter water with Liu Ye.
Even Yuan Quan, who was loved by the audience and seemed to be unfazed, suffered a great blow after enrollment, and even walked with his head down.
But they also just answered that sentence: one minute on stage, ten years off stage.
They spent their college under high standards and strict requirements, not to mention that everyone's acting skills are brilliant, at least they are above average.
But now look at these students, what are they acting!
Have you read the recent "Public Prosecution"? Known as "official production, drama bones gather", when publicizing, I can't wait to blow it as the best drama king in 2023.
But the fact is that the level of the whole drama is similar to that of the self-made drama of the popular law column, except that the actors are more famous.
Let's talk about Reba's acting skills, 10 years after her debut, her acting skills are still so superficial, expressing sadness is to cover her mouth, frown, and slowly squat.
Moreover, Reba's face is indeed not suitable for acting in a formal drama, it is more than beautiful and has insufficient temperament, and the acting skills are not enough to make up for the sense of violation brought by the appearance.
Reba is also a graduate from the play, and has acted in dozens of plays in the 10 years since his debut, but his acting skills are still only visible to fans, no wonder he was questioned so much when he got the Golden Eagle Vision that year.
In addition to "Public Prosecution", a "The Sea in the Dream" was recently broadcast, starring Xiao Zhan and Li Qin.
Li Qin graduated from the Shanghai Opera School Opera Academy, and he is also related to performance, so he can be regarded as half a professional actor.
At that meeting in 2017, Li Qin made a small fire with the "Princess Yuanchun" in "The Legend of Chu Qiao", and many viewers were praising her at that time.
It's a pity that Li Qin's "halo" did not last long, in "Qing Yu Nian", although she was the heroine, she was robbed of the limelight by Li Xiaoran and Song Yi in the same drama and became a pendant heroine.
In last year's costume fantasy drama "Please Jun", Li Qin changed his quiet style and played a lively and outgoing boss, but he used too much force throughout the whole process, and the acting relied on his mouth, and even the lines were said very deliberately.
This year, he transformed again, acting in two period dramas in a row, one is "The Road of Life" and the other is "The Sea of Dreams".
Let's not talk about acting skills, let's talk about this appearance and temperament, if it is not marked, can everyone tell that these are two dramas?
Although the ratings of "The Road of Life" are high, it is honestly not a high-quality drama, the portrayal of rural people in the play is very shallow, the per capita is black and shriveled, and Li Qin's porcelain teeth are still very dramatic.
Look at the image of Qiaozhen in the 80s film version of "Life", a black thin shriveled, a strong man and simple, who is the actor of the new era?
The key words of the role of Qiao Zhen are simple and kind, but Li Qin's presentation of the role is obviously wrong, and the facial features fly chaotically + the lines are too strong, as if beating chicken blood.
The background of "The Sea in the Dream" is placed in Beijing, in order to fit the background, the actors say that the lines have to be a little Beijing, Xiao Zhan's acting skills are not much evaluated, but the lines are passable.
To interject, since it is a Beijing story, why don't you look for Beijing actors, you have to let Chongqing people and Jiangsu people talk about Beijing films?
And Li Qin's lines are not meaningful, perhaps because he has studied opera, Li Qin speaks a little with a tone, and on this basis, he has to say Beijing dialect, which is indeed to embarrass her and the audience.
As an old actor who has debuted for more than ten years, he has been scolded for filming a play in the past two years, to paraphrase Song Xiaobao's line: Li Qinna, you can grow snacks!
Nowadays, acting in formal dramas has become a "gold-plated" way for traffic stars, and actors over 30 years old like Reba and Li Qin cannot act in idol dramas for a few years, so they have only transformed into contact with formal dramas.
At the same time, many post-95 flowers and students are also trying to get closer to the main drama, so as to draw a line with the rest of the traffic actors and add a "death-free gold medal" to their bad acting skills.
Take Zhao Lusi, who participated in "Alley" and "Back Wave", although she shakes her head and squeezes her eyebrows in the play, she doesn't even know history outside the play, and she has scored 16 points in mathematics...
But with the help of capital and the support of fans, these "desperate illiterate" can still dominate the film and television industry, and even continue to convey to the outside world the message of "if your results are bad, you will act".
Zhao Lusi's cultural level is indeed not high, and it is understandable that some "illiteracy" behaviors occur.
Actress Zhou is also surprising, graduated from Nortel, how can she say that she is also an undergraduate, Nortel is not a third-rate art school, why can't she even read the word "confession"?
Can read confession (chan) repentance as (qian) repentance, and has been mispronounced 4 times, and did not react after being reminded, it can be seen that she did not read the wrong word, but did not know the word at all.
Hao Lei once complained that if there is not enough culture, how can you read the script?
And Zhou also proved this personally, she really can't read the script and can't act out the plot.
In "Ah, Cradle", in order to reflect the ruthlessness of war and the respectability of her ancestors, her performance is as follows:
In "Youth in War", because her classmates were arrested for demonstrating on the street, Zhou was also very sad and anxious, and her expression was like this:
In vain, there is not only Zhou Ye who has been in college for four years, but also Zhou Ye's classmate Wang Junkai.
From "The Gate of Rebirth" to "Broken Bridge" to "Ten Thousand Miles Home", whether it is a small TV or a big screen, Wang Junkai's acting skills are as broken as ever.
Aren't there good acting skills among the current students?
Maybe there is, but in the entertainment industry full of "related households", actors without backgrounds want to come forward, which can only be said to be hopeless.
"Desperate illiteracy" has been officially named and criticized, how long will these "desperate students" "scourge" the audience?
