Wearing a "Barbie baby face" but playing a "female agent", whose aesthetic problem is wrong?

In domestic dramas, there is a theme that lives in the audience's waiting: spy war dramas.

Once upon a time, spy war dramas in the drama market "bloomed in a hundred flowers". "Dark Calculation", "Kite", Liu Yunlong's two masterpieces have achieved classics, and also established his status as the "godfather of spy warfare" in the film and television industry.

However, it is a pity that the highly anticipated new work "The City of Might" is now far away and turbulent.

There is also a spy war drama "Infernal" by Jin Dong this year that has also been overturned by word of mouth, and the chaotic and protracted editing coupled with Jin Dong's unchanged elite face for thousands of years has once again made people disappointed with this theme.

However, at present, there is a new drama "Harbin 1944" is being filmed, and Zhang Li, the director of "The Right Way in the World is Vicissitudes" + Wang Xiaogun, the screenwriter of "The Courtyard of the County Party Committee", the production team is quite powerful.

The male protagonist Qin Hao is also a recognized powerful actor, and this year he also came out of the circle with a "Long Season", and actors such as Zhang Zixian, Luan Yuanhui, Wang Herun and other actors joined hands to interpret spy battle group portraits, which are rich in highlights.

However, the audience who originally had full expectations was dissuaded because of the heroine Yang Mi's shape, temperament and strength, and was sung in advance before the broadcast started. So what's wrong with this show?

Yang Mi has caused a lot of controversy since she joined "Harbin 1944" and served as the heroine.

Although she is a post-85 flower and quite popular, her drama path has always been very narrow, basically showing her face in idol dramas, with a star temperament on her body. I finally starred in the medical drama "Thank You Doctor", and because the makeup such as eyeliner and false eyelashes was too heavy, it made people play.

And now Yang Mi is going to be mixed into the shooting of spy war dramas, can it really fit the atmosphere of that era? Judging from the stills, she and Qin Hao are sitting together, which is not a painting style at all.

One is the male protagonist of a spy war drama, calm and sophisticated, and the other is still immersed in the style of idol dramas, which looks beautiful. And I really want to ask, is Yang Mi's bubble noodle curly hair really sure that he didn't come to make his debut in the draft?

It seems to echo the saying: "Delicate to the hair".

From the back, she seems to be a steel ball into fine, obviously the clothes are a straight agent uniform, but the hair is scattered, quite contradictory, making people look more and more awkward.

Of course, what makes the audience the most dramatic is Yang Mi's own appearance, the facial features are too modern, big eyes, high nose, good looks are good-looking, but a bit of "Barbie" taste.

It's nothing in an idol drama, and it's like going to the wrong set in the spy war drama shots.

And it can be seen that in order to fit the role, Yang Mi has put a lot of effort into styling, military boots, with a thin waist and long legs, it is still quite charming, provided that her face is ignored.

In the photo, she stared with big eyes, her expression was ignorant and innocent, and she could even imagine Yang Mi talking to the people around her in a delicate tone, and she had no sassy and keen female agent style at all.

Even if you are preparing on set, you should not be completely out of state, and each actor should keep himself in the character's character during filming, so as to create a living character for the audience.

It can only be said that Yang Mi has performed a new trick on the image of the "female agent", so that people don't know whose aesthetic problem has occurred for a while?

It is not difficult to see that the current spy war drama is becoming more and more outrageous in casting, completely disregarding the audience's life and death.

In the drama "Infernal", the heroine Wang Likun's face is as stiff as a wax figure, and her face is oily, and her apple muscles are swollen. To play an agent with such a face, but also to fight wits with the male protagonist, is too unconvincing.

And because the face is too stiff, many expressions can't be done in place, the eyes are dull throughout the process, the performance is stiff, and the good characters are turned into jokes. It seems that the reputation of this drama is so bad, and Wang Likun has also made a certain "contribution".

There is also Chen Xiaoyu in "Thin Ice", who shocked people just when he appeared. This pointed nose, pointed chin, tight and overly high skin, proper "net red face" looks.

Not only that, Zhou Dongyu, who looks like a "little yellow duck" in "Sparrow", also played the role of a female agent, without a feeling of calm and intelligence, but instead performed the feeling of "silly white sweet".

There is also Tong Yao in "Rebel", because the acting is too wooden and has no soul, he also plays the role sparsely. It's really not everyone who can easily try the image of a female agent, it's better to see where the gap with the classic characters is.

For example, Wang Manchun played by Wang Ou in "The Pretender" is called a glimpse of shock.

It is the same curly hair style as Yang Mi, but Wang Ou coils her hair on her head, delicate and capable, and the makeup of her flaming red lips shows that her temperament is more cold.

More importantly, the eye drama is too sensual, and the ruthlessness and shrewdness of the characters can be seen from Wang Ou's eyes, and this sense of oppression is also the style that female agents should have.

No matter how classic the female agent image is and Zuo Lan played by Shen Aojun in "Lurking", there is no gorgeous makeup, simple short hair is refreshing and intellectual, and with superb acting skills, it left a deep impression on the audience.

There is also Song Jia in "Cliff", which deeply interprets the growth of a revolutionary, and after the play was broadcast that year, she also defeated Sun Li, who held "The Legend of Zhen Huan", with the role of "Gu Qiuyan", and won the trophy behind Magnolia in one fell swoop.

On the other hand, Yang Mi in "Harbin 1944" now, with a "Barbie baby face", has to play a "female agent", I don't know how many streets have been dumped by powerful actors.

For the audience, although the spy war drama takes male characters as the main narrative object, the female agent role in the play is obviously a unique landscape.

Not everyone can play a female agent casually, appearance is very important, but it is not so important, what can really be retained and achieved depends on strength.

In the past two years, many traffic stars like Yang Mi want to seek transformation, not only involved in spy war dramas, but also period dramas, main theme dramas and so on. But the reason why the results are not satisfactory is that on the one hand, the idol baggage is too heavy, and he must pay attention to appearing well at all times, ignoring the suitability with the characters and plot.

On the other hand, the strength is too poor to carry those serious and serious themes.

Instead of sharpening their heads to squeeze into the powerful camp, traffic stars should hone their acting skills and let the audience see the attitude of wanting to transform.

At present, Yang Mi is controversial because of "Harbin 1944", and it is also related to her inability to carry herself, but the show has not been broadcast after all, it is possible that Yang Mi can surprise everyone in the finished film, or wait and see.

So do you think Yang Mi's appearance in the new drama is appropriate?
