The whole process could not open his mouth, the lines were squeezed hard, and the 33-year-old Cheng Yi played a new trick with "acting explosion"
This summer's costume dramas are basically wiped out. "Jade Bone Yao" is online, the heroine's appearance is dragging her feet, the special effects of the first episode of "Anle Chuan" create everyone, and finally waited for a "Lotus Building" from the perspective of the male protagonist, the lineup is acceptable, the plot is online, the special effects passed, and the result was to persuade the audience in the actor's acting skills.
Click on the Douban comment area of "Lotus Building", and it is full of bad reviews on the screen. There are those who angrily scold the original lines for pulling their crotches, some complain about the weakness of the male protagonist, some deny the protagonist's appearance, and some are stunned by the TV series mirror.
Although "Lotus Building" has just been launched, obviously, this drama has basically stood in the depression of public opinion, in addition to fans also blowing special effects, ancient costume appearance, "Lotus Building" passers-by plate is completely collapsed.
Win in IP, win in plot, full of sales "Lotus Tower" still lost
The TV series "Lotus Tower" tells the story of Li Xiangyi (played by Cheng Yi), the famous martial arts master of the Sigu Gate, who retired to the rivers and lakes, became a li Lianhua who was indifferent to fame and fortune, and encountered the story of the new friend Fang Duo (played by Zeng Shunxi) and the old enemy Di Feisheng (played by Xiao Shunyao), and was involved in the rivers and lakes again.
The whole drama integrates elements of suspense and martial arts, and is a work full of male frequency style and focuses on blood in the rhythm of the plot.
Judging from the content of the premiere, "Lotus House" does have obvious advantages in production. Especially in terms of scene shaping and fighting, the sense of martial arts is very strong, and the scene of the confrontation between the two with swords at the beginning has both visual effects aesthetics and hearty action design.
For audiences who prefer martial arts themes, "Lotus Tower" is definitely a heartfelt production. It's just obvious that the director and post-production of "Lotus Tower" have limited capabilities.
In the case of a good script, as long as the flat and direct narrative can basically stabilize the audience. Unfortunately, the lens of "Lotus Building" is mainly dazzling, all kinds of camera movements are complex and weird, from time to time a 360-degree rotating lens movement, switching the lens is very anxious and abrupt, as if afraid that the audience off the screen will not be dizzy.
In addition, because there is no emotional line, the drama "Lotus Tower" does not plan to take the beauty route. The first three in the cast list are Cheng Yi, Zeng Shunxi and Xiao Shunyao, and only the appearance of the male number two Zeng Shunxi meets the requirements of "handsome guys" in public aesthetics.
In the shots without a sense of atmosphere in the main film, it can even be seen that Cheng Yi's state is obviously not as expected. The whole face is gloomy, and his thin body shape also directly leads to him wearing ancient costumes, unable to support his aura, no matter how he looks at it, he has a feeling of villain.
In the close-up, the audience can clearly see Cheng Yi's crotch, the whole face is exhausted, the skin is loose, the skin state is average, the whole person exudes a rustic atmosphere, and he said that he is two people in the ancient puppet theme.
If the appearance is not enough, the character setting and acting shaping power are very important. In the similar style of "Youth Song Xing", the role played by Li Hongyi is highly similar to Li Lianhua, and he is also impressed by the unsuitable shape, and the audience was disappointed when he appeared in the first episode.
But with the advancement of the plot and the shaping of the actors, Li Hongyi's play has been recognized. "Youth Song Xing" has also become a hit drama recognized by the original party from an inconspicuous small production.
In contrast, Cheng Yi's situation in "Lotus Tower" can be said to be highly similar to Li Hongyi at that time, but unfortunately, Li Hongyi's shaping is still passable, but Cheng Yi's performance has many problems and dissuaded many audiences.
Can't open his mouth, the lines are squeezed hard, and the 33-year-old lead actor has exploded his acting skills to play new tricks
In fact, Cheng Yi has always been an actor whose star is greater than his strength, and his famous works "Liuli" and "Agarwood Crumbs" are typical ancient puppet themes, and this kind of drama does not require high requirements for the actors' acting skills, but on the contrary, the drama itself and the filter atmosphere have higher requirements.
Under such a filter, Cheng Yi became a god of ancient costumes and became the ceiling of the male protagonist of ancient puppets with countless fans.
But in "Lotus House", the whitened special effects filter didn't work, and the voice actor's line blessing was gone.
Cheng Yi's current performance in "Lotus Building" is that he can't open his mouth, his lines are squeezed hard, his speech is weak, and he slowly carries a sense of yin and yang strangeness.
And from the perspective of character setting, Li Lianhua is an evasive and noble person, he is always calm and never messes with himself. The slow tone is very much in line with the character's personality, but the yin and yang are strange, which will change the character's temperament.
At least from the updated content of these episodes, Li Lianhua really looks like a mouth cannon player who can only break his mouth, and he can't open his mouth while breaking his mouth, the lines seem to be squeezed out of the mouth slit, the speech is sticky, close your eyes and don't read the subtitles, you will find that the audience wants to identify the content of his lines, which is quite difficult.
In addition, Cheng Yi's Mandarin is also difficult to speak. There are a large number of lines in the play that show the cultural cultivation of the protagonist, but Cheng Yi basically can't pronounce the sound of "ang", "Qingshan Zhanmen" he reads "Qingshan Zhanmen", "frost" he reads "bolt", "Wang Niangzi" he reads "Play Niangzi".
Cheng Yi is difficult to say from the sound conditions to the way of pronunciation, and the rhythm of speaking, and his performance has successfully influenced the audience's entry into the play.
In addition to the original lines, Cheng Yi's shaping power also makes people feel that the whole character exudes a feeling of weakness.
In the play, Li Lianhua looks avoidant, but in fact, he has hatred, and he re-enters the rivers and lakes with a purpose, which should be a hidden feeling in temperament.
But actor Cheng Yi, the whole time with an attitude of indifference to act, the lines are vague, the shaping is also understated, the overall look is like a passerby who has nothing to do with himself, a shallow look of "nothing to do with me", as if he can't understand the chess game, and he has to interject the chess watcher next to him.
To put it bluntly, Cheng Yi's performance has no depth, nor does it have a male protagonist, and the audience does not see the charm of the character Li Lianhua through his performance. On the contrary, after the launch of "Lotus Tower", the audience only felt that the protagonist was a character who hard-supported the protagonist's halo, but his appearance and inner charm grabbed the audience's attention.
Now, "Lotus Tower" has just been launched, if there is a problem with the plot rhythm and screen filters. "Lotus Tower" also has the possibility of timely modification. But the shaping of the actor runs through the entire play, and the state of the actor basically determines the charm of the starring actor in the play.
At present, Cheng Yi, who is 33 years old, is obviously unable to create such a role that requires a sense of blood, his state does not allow, and his explosive acting skills are not allowed.
Finally, what do you think about the premiere of the drama "Lotus Tower"? Can you accept Cheng Yi's state in the play, as well as his original lines and acting shaping power? Take an active part in the comments section.
