As the "fast food economy" spreads to the film and television industry, the "actor assembly line" has become a steady stream of beneficiaries, while the public has become the real "suffering" victim.
Regardless of whether you have the skill of "stage acting", as long as you stand in front of the camera, make two gestures, frown and open your mouth to say a few words "1234567...", you are finished with a performance.
As long as he is good-looking and has a high turnout, regardless of public opinion, he can get paid as an actor.
As this "deformed actor" became "mainstream", many audiences also found that those old actors who really love acting and making classic movies gradually "disappeared".
As Pu Cunxin said, no one looks at what he plays.
It's not that the masses don't need it, it's that the market doesn't allow it.
From "too popular" to "not a game to shoot", these old actors also face life choices and ideals.
Some people "deeply plow" bad films, some people become "Internet celebrities with goods", and some people disappear as if they are "hiding" in another world.
First place: Li Youbin
Many people know that Li Youbin became popular because of the role of "Li Yunlong" in "Bright Sword", and he is still a classic character.
But after filming, he said: I will never act in a TV series like "Bright Sword" again.
The reason is simple. The role of "Li Yunlong" is indeed eye-catching. If you play the same role again, the audience will soon think of "Li Yunlong" instead of actor Li Youbin.
In fact, it is normal for him to worry, but of course he can't escape.
In fact, the first candidate for "Li Yunlong" is not Li Yunlong, but Tang Guoqiang. But Tang Guoqiang, who had served many imperial generals, chose to resign because he feared that this dishonest "leader" would tarnish his image.
In this way, "Bright Sword" fell into the hands of Li Youbin.
According to Li Youbin's interpretation, "Li Yunlong" is indeed great.
A cursing, gangster-like captain, real and sensual.
In addition, many of his classic lines have also been made into memes and are still active on the Internet.
In addition to "Li Yunlong", Li Youbin has many classic roles, such as the businessman he played in "Crossing the Guandong", which has resonated with the audience countless times.
But at the same time, it is not difficult to explain that Li Youbin's widely acclaimed and popular works are almost all before 2010, and since then he has almost become a "professional bad film".
Although this is contrary to the core of "script selection and character recognition" that he has always insisted on, it can also be seen that in the era when traffic is king, it is difficult to keep up with the group.
About the performance. And old-fashioned.
In dramas such as "Punishment and Crime" and "Life and Death Blockade", Li Youbin appeared again as a soldier. Sure enough, when the audience saw him for the first time, they remembered the dirty word "Li Yunlong".
At least while rummaging through the pile of bad films, Li Youbin still respected his identity as an actor and did not participate in the live broadcast with goods.
Being in the midst of a group of idols was uncomfortable and sad for him.
Second place: Pu Cunxin
In addition to the actor, Pu Cunxin was also labeled as the "first generation of teacher killer".
He is 43 years old this year, with a beautiful face "Heroes Without Regrets", coupled with excellent acting skills, he quickly became popular.
But after becoming famous, he did not become complacent, still calmed down to think about his acting skills, and was responsible for every role.
When it was confirmed that he would star in "White Deer Plain", the outside world was almost full of opposition.
No one wants to believe that a native of Beijing can grasp the essence of a Northwestern man.
In order to lay a good foundation for "White Deer Plain", I lived in Shaanxi for a long time.
He learns to speak dialects and interacts with everything from literary and artistic colleagues to street vendors.
When Pu Cunxin appeared on the screen, he looked less like an actor and more like a native of northern Shaanxi.
Wang Gongxiang, a scholar, Pu Cunxin has been closely involved in the literary and art world for many years, and is known as the "5,000-year trip to China".
Especially "Sun Ce" in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", his eyes are full of domineering.
In addition to TV series, Pu Cunxin is also active on the stage of TV series such as "Li Bai" and "Thunderstorm", bringing different accents and experiences to the audience.
But this kind of "killing the teacher" acting skills came out with frustrating words such as "I don't have a chance, I don't have a job in the entertainment industry".
It's not that he blames others, but in the capital market they would rather take advantage of casual traffic without acting skills than find another old actor with excellent acting skills.
After seeing the current situation, Pu Cunxin also seemed to be "invisible", rarely showing up, and spending more time with his family.
Third place: Chen Chuang
Speaking of Chen Chuang's name, many people will still be relatively unfamiliar, but seeing this face, I think many people will sigh: It turned out to be him!
He is best known for his dog character "Saint Tengu" in Pauline Lantern.
Although he is only a supporting role, Chen Chuang is remembered and admired by many audiences: how can people often behave like dogs!
Such success is the result of his long-term observation and imitation.
In order to be a good dog, Chen Chuang often observes the behavior of stray dogs. For example, how to bark when danger is imminent, how to act like a baby when you meet friendly people giving you food, etc.
From begging for mercy to laughing, from protecting food to obeying, after learning to make every move, there will be an insurmountable "screaming dog".
In addition, he is also the ill-fated "Fugui Master" in "Fugui".
He can show not only the arrogance of Jin Guigongzi, but also his fear and helplessness in the face of criticism.
In the interweaving of various emotions such as sublime, desolation, helplessness, pain, and numbness, he interprets the "Lord Fugui" in the original work very well.
But such actors did not get more opportunities, but became depressed and frustrated actors under the pressure of traffic.
Debuted for many years, although his acting skills are excellent, he can only play supporting roles in some film and television dramas.
But Chen Chuang didn't seem to care, and happily went shopping.
Fourth place: Wei Zongwan
Because of his "poor appearance", Wei Zongwan suffered setbacks. But in this regard, he did not give up acting, but used that time to seriously think about his acting skills, and then he had the classic roles we saw later.
As the saying goes, the aroma of wine is not afraid of deep alleys. This sentence is very suitable for Wei Zongwan.
When Zhang Jianya filmed "Sanmao Wandering", he felt that the image of "veteran" was very suitable for Wei Zongwan, so he found him after several twists and turns.
Wei Zongwan refused because he could not ride a horse.
When Zhang Jianya saw this scene, he immediately knelt down and begged him to star in the movie that made him successful.
Because of this, "Old Oil Man" appeared on the screen, and Wei Zongwan also attracted attention and won many awards.
In addition, Wei Zongwan also created some classic characters in the four famous works.
For example, the villain Gao Lian in "Water Margin" and Sima Yi in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".
As for the role of Sima Yi, it was director Zhang Jizhong's repeated requests that made him willing to play this role.
It was not because Wei Zongwan stole the limelight, but because of the influence of traditional drama, he hated this "big traitor" who had to play a stinky face.
After Zhang Jizhong repeatedly assured that he would not put on a bad face and make adjustments, Sima Yi and Zhuge Liang fought wits and courage on the screen.
Especially in the part of "Empty City Scheme", "Sima Yi" looked at the open city gate, and Zhuge Liang, who was quietly playing the piano, looked surprised, but did not say anything.
But having played countless classic roles, he did not use his fame to "make money", but returned to a calm and ordinary life.
For him, having a national-level acting office, a monthly salary of more than 4,000 yuan, and a job he loves is enough.
I have to say that the old man has the character of an artist and is worthy of respect!
Fifth place: Li Baotian
One of Li Baotian's most distinctive labels is "bullying."
In his early years, he brought many excellent film and television works to the public.
For example, in "Ju Dou", Yang Tianqing, who was oppressed by time and had an affair with his aunt, was painful and brave.
For example, the mentor "Principal Yu" in "Phoenix Qin", his performance is vivid and moving, and he won the "Best Actor" of the Hundred Flowers Award, the Golden Rooster Award and the Film Government Award.
Speaking of his most impressive role for the audience, it is undoubtedly Liu Yong in "Prime Minister Liu Luo". This short, hunchbacked but resourceful historical figure has entered thousands of households.
This is his famous work and the beginning of his "indissoluble bond" with the entertainment industry.
Considering the success of "Liu Luoguo", the management is preparing for the filming of the second part, still inviting Li Baotian, Zhang Guoli and Wang Gang.
Li Baotian immediately refused after reading the script.
The reason was simple: he felt that the script for the second film was purely sentimental, sloppy and raw. And said that "some people will never cooperate again in this life".
If he had chosen to play this role at that time, Zhang Tielin might not have fallen into the "iron triangle".
When he filmed "Minister Chincha", it was almost a direct manifestation of his "gang rape".
The originally agreed 30 episodes have become 33 episodes after "water injection" over and over again.
For management, this is normal, but for Li Baotian, it is irresponsible to the public.
After several failed appeals, he took the film studio to court in a fit of rage.
Although he won the case, he was also "besieged" by more than a dozen companies.
The likelihood of expression decreases, deformities and clumsiness become more common. Li Baotian also gradually left the entertainment industry and devoted more time to painting, which can be regarded as finding peace.
At last:
Those old actors with acting skills and integrity are getting farther and farther away from the camera for some reason, but they can't do anything.
On the screen, the faces of the actors are becoming more and more strange, and they don't even have basic acting skills.
Put on a relaxed expression, walk up to the camera and say something, and fans, good or bad, cheer.
Is it just that in the "fast food era" of film and television dramas, the purity of art or the trust of the audience is consumed more?
Is it because more and more people are reluctant to turn on the TV?
