Urban dramas have attracted much attention in the TV drama market in recent years, however, the "silicone faces" of some actors have aroused heated discussions among the audience. This article will dive into the silicone face phenomenon that appears in these popular episodes and what viewers think about it.
At the last moment of the summer season, urban dramas arrived as scheduled, allowing the audience to fully appreciate the diversity of TV dramas. Hunan Satellite TV's "My Human Fireworks" was bombarded by the whole network after it was launched, however, the followed "Apocalypse of Pretense" ironically satirized the phenomenon of "Pretending to B" with a high score of 8.3, and it was an unexpected success. What is the secret behind this?
Now, another urban drama "Incomparable Beauty" has appeared, Chen Xiao appeared in the Oriental and Jiangsu two David TV, but this time, he did not create the ratings myth again, but faced a serious problem of word-of-mouth differentiation. Among them, one of the most prominent problems is the obvious "silicone face" of the actors.
The casting of the show seems to match its name. Chen Xiao, as the male protagonist, although he is 36 years old, his appearance is still eye-catching, as if he was born for urban idol dramas. Although his partner's acting skills have improved, she is a little stiff in the opponent scene with Chen Xiao, but her appearance advantage is also quite obvious. However, when the audience sees the second and third women, the situation changes significantly.
In the outdoor light makeup scene, when she looks up, the dermabrasion effect makes the towering bridge of the nose almost invisible, but the corresponding nostrils appear abrupt. When in the same frame as other actors, her silicone sense is more pronounced, and the audience's attention involuntarily focuses on her face, rather than the plot itself.
The rivalry with Chen Xiao presents the same problem, and the audience will even ignore Chen Xiao and only focus on her face. This situation makes it difficult for the audience to substitute into the plot and reduces the viewing experience.
In the same drama, Niu Li also showed a "silicone face". The natural face that the audience once knew was in stark contrast to today's silicone effect, and it was difficult for the audience to accept the change.
In another drama "Imperfect Victim", many actresses joined the performance, among which Chen Shu became the object of the most audience complaints, and her facial stiffness was the most obvious. No matter how her mood changed, her face could barely make an expression change, and even her facial muscles remained stiff when she laughed.
It resonated with the audience's perception and emotional resonance. "Incomparably Beautiful" is just one of many episodes influenced by silicone faces. For example, although Jin Chen in "All or Nothing" is beautiful, her nose also makes the audience feel dramatic. In "Ordinary Road", her nose is almost the ceiling.
The characters in these episodes face important life events, yet the audience can't help but laugh, which is not at all the desired effect of the plot. Especially under the light, these silicone sensations become more pronounced, and the audience's attention is no longer focused on emotional entanglements, but turns to the faces of the characters.
These examples raise the question, what exactly constitutes beauty? Do the facial features have to meet certain standards, the bridge of the nose must be high, the eyes must be large, and the double eyelids must be considered beautiful? Many female celebrities originally have unique characteristics and high recognition, but in order to pursue the so-called "beauty", they abandon these characteristics and make their faces no longer like themselves. This choice not only makes them lose their original charm, but also makes it difficult for the audience to establish emotional resonance with them.
In short, the phenomenon of silicone faces is becoming more and more obvious in today's urban dramas, and the audience has developed a strong disgust for it. Although it is a matter of course for actors to love beauty, sacrificing the audience's visual experience for the sake of so-called beauty is undoubtedly putting the cart before the horse. The charm of TV series is not only in the plot, the faces of the actors are also part of it, and if the appearance of the actors makes the audience play, it will greatly reduce the attractiveness of the series. To sum up, the silicone face may be able to change the appearance in the short term, but it is difficult to gain the recognition and love of the audience in the long term. In the end, the audience pays more attention to the actors' performance and emotional expression than whether their appearance tends to standardize.
