Qu Ying, who walked ahead of the times in "Riding the Wind 2023", failed to form a group, but he is not regretful

"Riding the Wind 2023" is a group night without suspense.

Because this time is not a live broadcast, but a recording, the list has been leaked out a few days ago, and everyone is talking about it.

Ella voted high to form a group, and Jia Jingwen finished 11th in the group.

And we originally expected that Sun Yue, who was like Na Ying and Jing in the previous two seasons, who formed a group as a big sister, was "out" of the Buddhist lineage; In addition, there is a sister, she has black skin, the oldest, but always surprises everyone, that is, Qu Ying, who is a model.

The sister series riding the wind and waves has long become a recognized red boat in the circle, as long as you catch it, you will have the opportunity to go out of the circle, with more exposure and topicality, 33 sisters who have been famous for a long time or have been silent for a long time, each of them has brought the story of the years to us.

And the sassiest and coolest one turned out to be Qu Ying, who is over fifty years old.

As she said in a dormitory conversation, this show is not about singing and dancing, but also about the lives behind my sisters and their stories.

She failed to form a group, a little unexpected, and a little expected, this very contradictory statement also reflects the rules of the entertainment industry today.

Qu Ying's life is full of stories.

(1) First meeting Qu Ying ("retired" actress "re-employed")

Qu Ying's first stage can be described as amazing.

This stage integrates Qu Ying's highlight moments in each industry.

Just like her fans joked, if people can do it, do it line by line.

Qu Ying's fans are different, and the actual performance pictures they make make people can't help but watch it.

What does it mean to be "versatile, but rotten?" ”

At the beginning of the stage, with the background sound of An Hong's "I Miss You", it brought everyone back to nearly thirty years ago, the image of the girl with short hair.

The pinnacle of Qu Ying's film is An Hong of "Have Something to Say".

Stills from "Have Something to Say"

In the early 90s, there were very few multi-habitat entertainers, almost acting on TV, singing and singing.

And Qu Ying entered the public's field of vision as an international supermodel, and then took over TV series, movies, and released records, which was very avant-garde among mainland artists at that time.

The makeup of the 90s is completely different from the present, with thin eyebrows and an emphasis on lip line, and many of the makeup at that time will have a strong sense of the times now.

And Qu Ying, who was an avant-garde big sister thirty years ago, is still ahead of the times.

She didn't seem to have a shy girlish appearance when she debuted, and she has always been the image of a sa sister.

She broke the circle with the image of a big sassy honey, and went to sing again after acting in the movie.

Maybe God chased the feeding, and she was born with a high pitch and sang "Qinghai-Tibet Plateau" effortlessly.

Between '94 and '05 she released five albums.

No blowing or black, five albums are more than many music idols now.

And the audience will not even use singers to label Qu Ying.

In 1998, she also appeared on the CCTV Spring Festival Gala, which for many singers is a recognition of professional ability.

Qu Ying, who appeared on the stage at the beginning of the wind, has a firm figure, hot appearance, obvious muscle lines, wearing European and American eye makeup, and does not show her age at all.

It's not the kind of old age that is deliberately tender and can't be seen, but will guess that her age may be any point between 20-40.

She has a charm that exudes the charm of a mature woman while completely blurring the time period.

(2) Free aesthetics, "I am me, a different flower"

Qu Ying, who performed for the first time, also contributed a very amazing singing voice.

The phrase "I should be wiser And realize that I've got" burst out a very European and American high voice, coupled with wavy curly hair and a straight and confident dance posture, directly contributed to "problem" becoming Ichiko's most popular performance.

Even now, Asian female artists still rarely have this image.

Most successful female artists will take the girly route regardless of age.

Although Bai Thin and Young has been attacked in public opinion, looking at the average appearance of Internet celebrities, we know that Asian aesthetics are still mainly juvenile.

The appearance of girls should be very feminine, but not feminine, there are very few sexy, and most of them take the innocent pure girl route.

Today, with the rise of feminism, this aesthetic has not been subverted.

Even many 40+ actresses still dare not show maturity and personality that match their age, and continue to output the image of small white flowers.

Looking at Qu Ying's beauty again, there is a freedom to ignore the man's vision.

Tanning, muscle building, aggressive makeup, are all what female audiences want to see now.

She is the earliest heroine of idol dramas.

She and Hu Bing starred in "True Farewell", which gained a vote of fans in 2006, they are both models turned actors, beautiful appearance, look very suitable.

At that time, there was no such term as CP powder.

Many TV viewers default to the fact that they are together.

Until recently there were a lot of posts exclaiming, ah they are not a couple?

Or sigh to the chagrin of why they didn't end up together.

In 06, explosive head neutral wind was still popular.

The explosive head that Liu Yase wore when she debuted was the dress of the trend women of that era.

Tomboy, short hair, sunny handsome, this style has completely faded from fashion.

Because that kind of androgynous style is girls pretending to be boys, to put it bluntly, there is still some kind of masculinity.

As if the default boy is more popular or whatever, the 05 Supergirl of the fire has given birth to several such outfits.

In 2023, the actress will do this kind of styling again, and she will be criticized for becoming oil.

And Sister Qu Ying, who walked in that era, although she was tall and long-legged, perfectly avoided this style.

Classic aesthetic that can transcend time.

(3) Breakthrough and breakthrough, always challenging, but not fixed

I don't know why, in the next few performances, she seemed to be silent, no longer the most watched actor.

Why, every time she boldly challenges and performs well, she never appears as amazing?

Perhaps, being too avant-garde and bold, is one reason.

The second gong's performance of "A Thousand Miles" is also very good, but she exploded her head with a small roll and wore strange "ugly clothes", which directly caused netizens to discuss what the stylist was thinking.

"Homecoming" received more votes, and "General" sparked more discussion.

But "A Thousand Miles" seems to be hidden in the "good, but no splash" show.

The next performance of "Sister" is also "good" and lively, but everyone pays more attention to Cai Shaofen's hot scene, Zhang Jiani's expression management, and no one pays much attention to Qu Ying.

She just did what the audience expected.

This performance was also drowned in the almost perfect three-person dance "Shut Up and Dance" and the much-anticipated "Blue Bird".

TV viewers may not have forgotten that Hunan Satellite TV's flashing program "Variety Big Coffee Show".

Qu Ying shined in that show, doing all kinds of strange looks.

Another show is also widely circulated on the Internet, Qu Ying played a harlequin on the opera stage, which caused repeated praise from teachers, but from a marketing point of view, did she really "attract fans" for herself with such a breakthrough, it seems that there is none.

So it becomes, everyone knows that she is powerful, and they know that she is not afraid of playing ugly, so no matter what styling or performance she does, the audience will feel that she should complete it.

Let's look at the other one, Zhu Zhu's sister, who was very famous before the start of the show, but the audience is easy to face facelessly.

She is completely different from Qu Ying, choosing the same style almost every time, lazy long curly hair, sexy clothing, big red lips, leaving a very strong and continuous impression on the audience.

And Qu Ying's excessive self-breakthrough made the audience not yet adapt to one of her images, and she gave more.

Maybe for Qu Ying, she has done all these looks, and there is no longer a sense of freshness, but the audience has actually changed several batches than thirty years ago.

Perhaps for new audiences, it is easier to "red" to imprint an impression deeply in everyone's hearts and then try differently.

epilogue

Although it is a pity that Qu Ying did not form a group, in fact, for her, who has worked in the industry for more than thirty years, has also achieved very good results, and is almost semi-retired, it is already a big surprise that she is still willing to perform and enjoy the stage.

With Qu Ying's sister's aesthetics and choices, in another thirty years, she may still be ahead of the times.

Finally, forming a group is not the final result, and the sisters will continue to shine on the stage in the future.
