I knew that it was metaphysics to become popular in the entertainment industry, but I still didn't expect Wei Daxun to explode
In the summer of 2023, netizens originally waited to see which emperor to be exploded could be the first to "soar", but as a result, the newcomers who fans bought shares had not yet fired, and Wei Daxun, who had almost forgotten the identity of the actor by the audience, "ascended the throne" first.
Starring Yang Yang and Wang Churan, the current "My Human Fireworks" came out, before the male and female protagonists CP came out of the circle, the special actor Wei Daxun overtook in a detour, and the actors and characters in the play became hot search darlings.
On the one hand, the drama fans call for the supporting role Meng Yanchen with true feelings.
The spontaneous Erchuang video of the drama fans once again staged the record of the "Supporting Role Bloodbath" video website, and the characters were listed as the four supporting roles in 2023 with "Crazy" Gao Qiqiang, "Long Moon Ember Ming" Ye Bingchang, and "Can't Hide Secretly" Sang Yan.
Some viewers began to regret that domestic dramas were not broadcast while filming, and there was no way to let Meng Yanchen rely on popularity; Some netizens also called on the drama party to learn "Cara Lover" and follow the predecessors, and the female protagonist can also be with the male second.
On the other side, netizens hotly discussed "Is Wei Daxun explosive?" ”。
Different people have different standards for measuring this issue, but objectively speaking, allowing netizens to break their heads for Wei Daxun and discuss whether it explodes or not, to some extent, is already beyond the peak of the actor's original career direction.
You know, two months ago, Wei Daxun's impression of netizens was still the little fresh meat boyfriend of the royal sister in the entertainment industry...
And, there are no variety artists who represent their works...
Even the variety show coffee that can almost only mix mango is He Jiong's favored "variety show good friend" and Xie Na's "miserly apprentice", and the frequency of showing his face in variety shows and entertainment gossip is extremely high, and the audience popularity of film and television dramas is very general.
His identity as a variety show is known to everyone, but the actor's sense of existence is extremely low.
After getting the male third role of He Jiong's first movie "Gardenia Blossom", his old club JYP almost mobilized well-known Hallyu artists in the whole company to collectively help him play CALLl, but he is still a "little transparent" actor in and out of the play.
starring in the sequel to the small explosive drama "Love Shuttles Through the Millennium", so big a male protagonist, but the audience has seen it and forgotten, contributing to the word-of-mouth drama "All About Doctor Tang", the audience is the female protagonist Qin Lan, but can't remember the male protagonist.
15 years since his debut, he has filmed more than 50 film and television works, the popularity of actors and audiences is almost zero, variety show cafes are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, when the little fresh meat is a little overaged, when the old bacon is not qualified, how to look, it is the career upside has come to an end.
Originally, relying on variety artist connections to gnaw the old is almost the destination of artists, but there will always be a magical "popular metaphysics" in the entertainment industry, and when you think that Wei Daka's career is almost over, you find that he has just started.
Unexpected, but also dependent, can pull the actor's career to the trough and then rebound overnight, it is still indispensable to the time and place and the common promotion of people, the work, the role, the actor's own potential, indispensable.
There are many explosive characters, and Meng Yanchen tickles the audience's itch
Many netizens think that Wei Daxun can usher in a popular situation, the fundamental reason is that the character bonus is too strong, and the audience likes the actor because of the role, favors him, and has a role filter effect.
But strictly speaking, Meng Yanchen is not a "pleasant" character in the traditional sense.
On the contrary, his persona covers negative elements such as "dark, distorted, crawling, crazy, and jealous", and the love and control desire for the heroine will be very scary in reality, and any one can be pulled out for moral whipping.
What he really pleases is not the pure character, but the dramatic tension that the character as a whole holds.
For example, the Sven scum effect created by the actor's shape and identity and personality, this kind of image has always had a strong impact, which can leave unlimited brain space for the audience, often without the need to form CP, and has a sense of pull.
Netizens often leave Schasha comments under the Sven scum styling of the male actors is a typical representative, on the brain supplement space, Sven scum can definitely get TOP3 in all elements, supplemented by the plot, the effect is even worse.
The ancient sadistic love drama "A Thousand Mountains and Twilight Snow", the plot will definitely trigger collective criticism from the audience at the moment, and the male protagonist Mo Shaoqian will not be pleasant, but with the sexual tension of Sven scum, he still makes many audiences nostalgic.
Zheng Yijian in the TVB version of "Heavenly Love", the role makes the audience hate the tooth itch, the image is combined with the perverse character and dog blood, but it can cross the era and make a batch of new audiences come out of the pulp.
The dramatic tension that the characters can create can always hit the audience's acupuncture points, and, in the mainstream aesthetic of extreme integrity and truthfulness, goodness and beauty, the audience's inner demand for the diversity of film and television images is actually very strong.
Compared with the accustomed "perfect" protagonist, everyone is more likely to be attracted to supporting roles with a sense of taboo, which may be the marginal temptation of human nature, the complex level of desire, or different life opportunities.
was rated by netizens as three of the four major supporting roles in 2023, all in line with this rule, several roles are completely different, but they all have a little taboo and controversy that breaks the conventional line, not perfect, but very eye-catching.
Meng Yanchen, who simultaneously embraces the two dramatic charms of Sven scum and taboo, is the core that can make the audience head, and only if the role is successful and bright enough, the actor can have support.
Affectionate men carry the flag heavily, and there is also a cycle in the aesthetic of romance
The success of the character itself is the cornerstone, the plot he participated in is the bracket, Meng Yanchen's unrequited love, desire for control, brother and sister emotions and other elements of the heroine are combined, and he has obtained another flashpoint: pseudo-orthopedics and affectionate male matches.
The popularity of pseudo-orthopedics is also driven by "taboos", although it is small but easy to win gimmicks, earlier "In the Name of the Family" can be popular before broadcasting, and the male and female protagonists and male partners are successful here.
Netizens will not hope that the real orthopedics will come out, if there is really a film and television drama created like this, there is no need to review the shot, I believe that the audience themselves will bury the drama first, but adding "pseudo" is very different.
The word "pseudo" not only perfectly circumvents the basic moral bottom line that the audience can accept, but also absorbs the taboo of orthopedics, and the things that are enough to grab horses and sultry enough are left, and the real taboos are removed from the general audience.
Film and television dramas can often win a double harvest of true and false advantages with this creative technique, and Meng Yanchen's hot, twisted and forgiving love for his unrelated sister Xu Qin exudes the charm of pseudo-orthopedics to the fullest.
At the same time, Meng Yanchen carried the aura of an ancient affectionate male two.
Audiences who like old dramas should still have the impression that romance idol dramas more than ten years ago have a rule that "the male protagonist is the female protagonist, and the male second is the audience", and the male and female protagonist CP line can often compete with the charm of the male and female affection lines.
The two complement each other, and at the same time harvest the two types of audiences who are keen on abuse and love, which are the two basic chips of many works, and the early K-pop popular romantic dramas almost rely on these two routines.
For example, the first and second generation of Hallyu's explosive masterpieces "Blue Life and Death Love", "My Girl" and "Palace", during the explosion of the work, the male partners of the three dramas, Won Bin, Lee Jun-ki, and Kim Hyun-hoon, are even more popular than the male protagonist.
The audience likes the two-way rush of the male and female protagonists, and also likes the affectionate supporting roles that cannot be loved.
They not only have strong personal charm, but also can increase the effect of drama horse grabbing, creating no lack of certainty for the main line of love, plus such characters are often very good-looking, they are more likely to be favored and win the audience's heart.
However, because the subsequent setting of male and female protagonists 1V1 + affectionate male partners is too widespread, film and television works are also innovating and making breakthroughs, and the corresponding pattern is slowly decreasing, and after the arrival of the traffic era, the traditional affectionate male partners have almost disappeared.
The reason is simple, in the case of the protagonist first, the supporting role is easy to offend the fans, and the script may also lose its attractiveness to the starring actor, and the drama is convenient to create a supporting role with a weaker sense of presence or choose an actor who tries not to press the protagonist.
Although this kind of creative method has a certain external constraint, it was once novel and has certain merits from a creative point of view, but all good things are afraid of repetition, because repetition means the birth of new clichés.
As a result, another popular creative trend in which the supporting role is parallel to the protagonist's emotional line or the supporting actor's charm cannot compete with the protagonist is born, and when the audience's freshness passes, they will miss some "old" charm.
The female partners in "Long Moon Ember Ming" and the male partners in "My Human Fireworks" are precisely the same charm settings as "ancient times", one is a vicious female partner who was once fired, and the other is an affectionate male partner who once fired.
The popularity of the fashion circle is a cycle, and the aesthetics of the film and television industry seem to be a cycle.
Wei Daxun played a popular setting that is not new in the overall view, and has become "novel" again at the moment, taking on the role of opportunity at a good time, a little lucky, but in the law of aesthetic cycle.
Maybe the creative trend of the film and television industry can also be re-brushed according to several supporting roles out of the circle, artistic creation, sometimes can not be too rigid, can not be too strict with the hot rules, otherwise good things, may also become mediocre.
Without complete luck, actor plasticity is still fundamental
Character tension, scene effects, and horse grabbing elements, these elements continue to allow Meng Yanchen to capture the audience, but it is the actor himself who brings out all the charm of Meng Yanchen, who has luck and role bonuses, and also gives role bonuses.
The bonus that the character gives to the actor will be very strong, but there are also many actors who cannot catch it.
Remember the male partner of "Mrs. Huzhu" who was regretted by the audience when Mei Qiang was miserable? When this drama was a hit, the audience almost spit out "if you change actors, it will explode", and if you want to eat the bonus, you must first catch the role.
Relatively speaking, Wei Daxun is not a TOP-level representative of the two popular models of Sven scum and affectionate male matches, and his acting skills are not to the point of being impeccable, but for Meng Yanchen, it is definitely up to standard.
The appearance of the suit glasses suppresses the Sven scum elements, and the emotional appeal and gesture of Su Qi hold the atmosphere of love and love, and the parts that can surprise and empathize with the audience are strongly presented.
Without Wei Daxun's basic strength, today's Meng Yanchen may make the plot hotly discussed, but he can't explode the role, let alone the actor, most of the roles and actors complement each other, and it is difficult to succeed unilaterally.
The popularity of Wei Daxun's "belated" also proves a truth: the backer of actors is always acting skills and works.
Wei Daxun is a professional actor from Chinese opera, once escorted by a large entertainment company JYP, and tasted the dividends of Korean-style packaging, but Chengye Korean-style packaging, defeated also Korean-style packaging, too dependent on variety show star pushing method.
When he signed with JYP, it happened to be the outbreak stage of domestic reality shows, the mainland purchased a large number of Korean comprehensive copyrights, and Wei Daxun also became a frequent guest of various imported variety shows, quickly making a name for himself, but also solidifying his image.
The variety show style that has obviously experienced Korean-style variety show training looks favored, but he can't bring his own personality comedy charm like actors such as Shen Teng and Jia Ling, and the show is well-known, but he himself is still a regular variety showman.
And the variety show label is precisely the big challenge for actors.
The resident of actors who have become famous in variety shows will affect the role shaping, such as Deng Chao, Sha Yi, and Wei Daxun, who has not yet had a masterpiece, will only get worse, for a long time, what he plays, the audience will feel like a variety showman.
The character effect is either "playing" or "transparent", which is the key to Wei Daxun's lack of recognition in the early stage.
Now he can win the recognition of his old industry with "My Human Fireworks" because he has ushered in an opportunity, and because his old foundation has not been exhausted, only by keeping the basic skills can he have the opportunity to prove himself in the opportunity.
At present, if Wei Daxun seizes the opportunity to further hone his acting skills and stop indulging in variety show shortcuts, the future plasticity is still worth looking forward to, and I hope that Meng Yanchen can become his new beginning, not a flash in the pan.
