For the audience, only fresh things will be attracted, if the plot is particularly boring, coupled with the acting skills are also very poor, it is estimated that the public is impossible to accept? Not to mention liking it.
However, some old drama bones, just to make money and do not care about the quality of the work, will only make the film and television works lose their original soul, and this group of old drama bones will eventually become the situation of "drama bastards".
Zhang Jiayi, how an excellent ace actor steps towards becoming a bad film king
Zhang Jiayi is an excellent actor who has created a profound character image in many popular TV series, and has been loved by the audience for showing excellent acting skills in many dramas with very good reputation and ratings, and was once known as the representative of the "acting school".
However, as Zhang Jiayi gradually entered middle age, his state has declined significantly, and in recent years, the quality of the scripts Zhang Jiayi has chosen has been uneven, and his performances in new plays have become increasingly rigid and unnatural.
Specifically, Zhang Jiayi has created impressive characters in many classic dramas such as "Snail House" and "Lurking".
But in the recent "Breaking Dawn East", Zhang Jiayi played Chen Yi, who should have been as imposing as a rainbow, but because of his handsome figure and not calm and restrained performance, there was an obvious mismatch with the character setting.
This made the audience feel that his state had declined compared to Zhang Jiayi in the past.
Not only that, in new dramas such as "Anna's Lover" and "Love is Beautiful", Zhang Jiayi's performance is also very blunt and contrived, and it is completely impossible to see his former entry into the wood and in-depth understanding of the role.
He performs every movement like a machine, his facial expression is stiff, his eyes are empty, and the whole person reveals a perfunctory and absent feeling.
This is too different from the audience's memory of Zhang Jiayi, who can be integrated into the plot and selfless interpretation, which directly leads to the audience's disappointment and boredom. Even the dramas he starred in, ratings and word of mouth have dropped sharply. Many film critics bluntly said that "Zhang Jiayi has already been out of the circle".
Not only that, Zhang Jiayi is now mostly perfunctory to the audience, no longer trying to figure out the characters as before, he chooses scripts that are not suitable for his own conditions, and does not carefully consider the matching of the characters with himself, which directly leads to a great reduction in his performance effect.
In fact, Zhang Jiayi also confessed that he suffered from severe "ankylosing spondylitis", which had a certain impact on his physical state.
But as an actor, you should carefully choose your role according to your own conditions, rather than stubbornly playing characters that do not match you.
What's more, performance is not only external styling, but also internal emotional support, Zhang Jiayi has obviously lost the enthusiasm for the role in the past, relying only on pretentious gestures to support the scene, the result is futile.
In addition to Zhang Jiayi, Jin Dong's acting skills are also very worrying.
Jin Dong
Jin Dong, who became famous with the role of Ming Lou in "The Pretender", has an increasingly single performance method and is difficult to surpass himself.
In the 2015 TV series "The Pretender", 40-year-old Jin Dong played the excellent agent Ming Lou, with an excellent performance, which became popular on the Internet overnight and was known as a "late bloomer".
In the following years, Jin Dong took over a number of film and television dramas to take advantage of the character's popularity, but unfortunately his performance was mediocre and there were no new breakthroughs.
Recently, the character played by Jin Dong in the spy war drama "Infernal" was forced to confess by the enemy's electric shock, which should show extreme pain, but his performance is unremarkable, his facial expressions have not changed much, and the close-ups of his hands are not realistic.
Many viewers commented that Jin Dong did not show the pain of the characters at all, he was accustomed to Ming Lou's calm state, and failed to show the reaction of normal people.
In fact, no matter what role he plays, Jin Dong's performance style and state are the same as Ming Lou, and it is difficult to change. His friend Jin Xing also publicly expressed his disappointment with him, and it was a tune in and out of the play.
The audience also began to fatigue aesthetically, thinking that Jin Dong must jump out of the shadow of Ming Lou, otherwise he will be bound by this classic role, and the final performance will enter a dead end.
Constantly enrich the acting skills and bring surprises to the audience. He needs to break through himself and not be defined by representatives in order to avoid falling into the quagmire of performance.
Dedicated actors should not just repeat the early successful models, but should have a continuous enterprising and innovative spirit.
Whether the two actors in front are bastards may still be controversial among netizens, but Liu Tao's "drama bastard" is by no means obtained out of thin air.
Liu Tao's transformation: from acting to "drama bastard"
In the early years, Liu Tao took costume dramas as the main development direction, and she became famous in 2002 with the costume drama "Mazu", playing Mazu affectionately, and her acting skills have received countless praises.
Following "Mazu", Liu Tao successively played the heroine in many high-rated costume dramas such as "Dragon Babu" and "Youth Rushing Forward", and successfully became one of the popular dan.
Especially in the costume drama "The Legend of the White Snake" in 2006, Liu Tao's Bai Suzhen is loyal and slightly stubborn, which gives the audience a new understanding of this classic character, and she also became popular and won the Magnolia Award for Best Actress.
In just a few years, Liu Tao completely stood firm with his excellent acting skills and was recognized as one of the most outstanding post-90s little Hua Dan at that time.
Her costume styling is not only exquisite and gorgeous, but her acting skills are also delicate, whether it is charming or infatuated, she can control it freely.
In many costume dramas she has participated in, whether it is a small supporting role or an important heroine, Liu Tao can portray a three-dimensional and plump character to make the audience's eyes shine.
After 2010, Liu Tao began to switch to modern dramas, showing changeable acting skills in dramas such as "Top Gun" and "Who is the heroine".
Especially in the popular urban drama "Ode to Joy" in 2016, Liu Tao successfully interpreted the role of the strong woman "Andy" into a three-dimensional and vivid character, becoming a hot topic of the year.
This also made the name Liu Tao return to the public's vision, and his popularity was rising, and he was known as the representative of the post-90s acting school.
However, the good times did not last long, after "Ode to Joy", Liu Tao seemed to have fallen into a performance bottleneck, and she played a strong and decisive professional woman in the dramas such as "The Sea of Stars" and "The Beginning" in which she participated later, and the role settings were basically the same, without any breakthroughs.
Even the performance technique has become increasingly rigid, just frowning and glaring mechanically, completely unable to see the delicate and nuanced of the past, which is a strong contrast to her rich acting skills in her early years, which disappointed fans.
In recent years, the reputation of many dramas in which Liu Tao has participated has plummeted, and the ratings have also continued to decline. In "County Party Committee Compound", where many old dramas gather, Liu Tao's performance is obviously compared with other actors, which is blunt and thin.
"Be Your Own Light" broadcast this summer was directly complained by netizens about the formulaic acting skills, completely consuming the feelings of the audience, and the reputation of "drama phoenix world" has also become the spit of "drama bastard".
In fact, the shift in Liu Tao's focus in recent years can also explain this change, she gave up the excavation and improvement of acting skills, but focused more on live broadcast goods, known as the "one-size-fits-all" of the live broadcast industry.
It is rumored in the industry that her first live broadcast sales exceeded 100 million, and live broadcast can quickly bring income, which is too tempting for an actor.
epilogue
The plight of these actors is worth pondering. Perhaps as viewers, we should also reflect on whether our expectations are too high. Don't we know the pressures faced by actors? They are also just ordinary people, they are also tired, there are also ups and downs.
Should we be more understanding and inclusive, after all, the pursuit of excellence does not happen overnight? Maybe it's just a low point in their life, let's give them time to grow, give them encouragement, not spurns.
Because an excellent actor not only needs talent, but also needs support and understanding from the audience. This warmth will be the driving force for them to go down.
Therefore, let's send expectations and blessings to these actors who have brought us happiness, I believe that they will bloom again, because the stars on the stage will not be extinguished.
