"You've lost all your teeth in your 70s, right? I even cheekily played an 18-year-old young girl, don't laugh my teeth off! ”
On July 20, Liu Xiaoqing, a "goddess of immortality" in her 70s, played an 18-year-old girl in the new film "Ice and Snow Sniper 2", which caused heated discussions among netizens.
This is not the first case in the entertainment industry in which middle-aged and elderly actors challenge a girl in the flower season, but Liu Xiaoqing once again broke this record with his age in his 70s.
The bride in red, the kiss of youth, in addition to embarrassment after watching it, the audience is more worried - has the "pretending to be tender" in the entertainment industry lost its proportion?
73-year-old playing "yellow flower girl"
On July 8, 2023, a movie called "Ice Sniper 2" was released as scheduled, the plot tells the story between a female bandit leader and a male bandit policeman, as for the quality of this film, we do not evaluate too much.
What made the audience smash their glasses was that the 18-year-old female bandit was played by Liu Xiaoqing, who was in his 70s, and dressed as a bride in red the whole time!
Liu Xiaoqing is a well-known actress in China who has played important roles in many hit dramas and is known as the "goddess of immortality".
But her real age has been controversial, and various official data and her own public age are different, but it is certain that she is 71-75 years old.
However, in this new movie, Liu Xiaoqing, who is obviously ancient, not only plays an 18-year-old girl "head iron", but also falls in love with actor Wang Xinjun, who is 18 years younger than her.
Even more outrageous is that Ren Anqing, who plays Liu Xiaoqing's father in the play, is as old as Wang Xinjun, who plays her groom, and is 52 years old.
Watching Liu Xiaoqing, who is in her 70s, pinch her throat and coquette with her "father", who is 18 years younger than her, the audience simply lost their embarrassed "goosebumps".
Even to make Liu Xiaoqing look younger, a lot of beauty and dermabrasion effects were added to the film later, but the high-definition footage still captured the deep wrinkles on her face and the puffiness caused by over-injection filling.
Dressing up an old man in his 70s as a girl in the flower season, just looking at the stills is creepy.
This absurd plot immediately set off an uproar on the Internet, a large number of viewers expressed strong discomfort and opposition, netizens believed that the film's behavior was completely for the eye-catching effect and ignored the audience's feelings, and at the same time everyone also expressed sympathy for the actor...
Netizens have left messages on major audio and video platforms shouting Liu Xiaoqing: "Recognize your age, don't be hot eyes anymore."
Indeed, an old man who is about to die reluctantly pretends to be a girl, playing against a middle-aged male star who has not yet given up, and the whole picture is full of a sense of discord, even if Liu Xiaoqing maintains it well, he cannot copy the girl's innocent temperament.
This kind of strong behavior that is a gimmick and tears people's three views is really out of standard and offensive.
In fact, "Ice and Snow Sniper 2" is not the first time Liu Xiaoqing has "pretended to be tender", in fact, she has long been on a road and has never looked back.
Liu Xiaoqing's absurd "history of pretending to be tender"
Liu Xiaoqing, born in 1950 (or another saying is born in 1952), she entered the show business in the mid-70s of last century and has appeared in many excellent TV series.
In 1995, the then 40-year-old Liu Xiaoqing became famous with the TV series "Wu Zetian", successfully creating a vulgar image of Wu Zetian, allowing the audience to see a girl Wu Zetian who seemed to travel through time and space, which was widely praised at that time.
It may be that this success gave Liu Xiaoqing a lot of encouragement, and since then she has embarked on the road of no return of "anti-aging performance".
In 2000, 50-year-old Liu Xiaoqing was imprisoned on suspicion of tax evasion, and after 422 days in prison, she was released but never returned to the peak of her career.
However, Liu Xiaoqing did not give up his dream of being a "girl", but went further and further on this road.
In 2012, Liu Xiaoqing, who was 60 years old at the time, starred in the costume drama "Heroes of the Sui and Tang Dynasties", in which she played the image of a 16-year-old girl, and was called "silly girl" by the male protagonist who was nearly 30 years younger than her.
In the play, Liu Xiaoqing leaned on the male protagonist's arms and pretended to be shy, trying to create a girl's innocent temperament, but as he grew older, this forced anti-aging practice could only make the audience feel a strong sense of discord and embarrassment.
In 2015, Liu Xiaoqing, who is in her 60s, starred in the modern drama "I Have a Dream" as a 19-year-old pregnant girl, and in one scene she had to ride a bicycle and go to class with a big belly.
This tender performance also shocked many audiences and aroused strong repercussions, but Liu Xiaoqing did not seem to care about the public's reaction, repeatedly saying that he was very capable of playing the innocence of the role of a girl.
In the face of the advice of the outside world to "stop pretending to be tender", Liu Xiaoqing insisted that she did not have plastic surgery, everything was born, and she seemed to fall into a strong sense of self and refused to accept the fact of aging.
In fact, the aging of an actor is not a terrible thing, what is terrible is that he does not know it in the face of aging, but it embarrasses the audience.
If Liu Xiaoqing could have peacefully accepted the changes in her life and performed the roles that matched her age step by step, she would have become an excellent actor and be remembered by future generations.
However, she is strong and stubborn and does not know how to retreat, which makes people have a negative impression of her as a "pretending to be the leader of the Nen Sect" and a "member of the Yatou Sect", and has become the target of ridicule by netizens.
However, in the entertainment industry, the phenomenon of forcibly "pretending to be tender" like Liu Xiaoqing is not a few, and even to the point of being uncontrollable.
Can older actresses only "pretend to be tender"?
In recent years, the practice of some middle-aged actresses playing girl roles has caused heated discussions in the entertainment industry, which seems to have become a "trend", which makes many audiences feel very uncomfortable.
Lin Xinru played the 17-year-old girl Xiaohuan in the TV series "16 Summers" at the age of 40, and began her innocent first love on campus with the male protagonist.
However, Lin Xinru is obviously middle-aged, and her tender appearance contrasts sharply with her wrinkled face, and she was ridiculed by netizens as "a 40-year-old aunt also dresses as a 17-year-old girl."
When Zhou Xun was nearly 40 years old, he played a young girl in the historical drama "The Legend of Ruyi", and it was not inappropriate to play in his true colors, but in the close-up of the camera, Zhou Xun's face was full of fine lines, which contrasted with the age of the characters in the play, and was also criticized by netizens as "and pretending to be tender".
"Greasy Brother" Ming Dao and 51-year-old Jiang Liwen collaborated in "Corner Meets Love", playing a young couple. Both have entered middle age, called "girl" but ink, and were ridiculed by netizens as "middle-aged idol dramas", and the score even fell to more than 2 points at one point.
47-year-old Ma Yili plays Zheng Dongni in her early 20s in the play "Dragon City", forcibly dressing up tender and incompatible with her fat body and aging face, making it difficult for the audience to identify with the character.
And not only actresses love to "pretend to be tender", but also some male stars.
At the age of 42, Li Chen played a 17-year-old high school student in the movie "Beyond", with bangs on his head and a blessed figure, and was complained by netizens that "there are 17 wrinkles alone", which is difficult to meet the youthfulness required by the role.
Zhang Luyi, who is in his 40s, plays a 13-year-old boy in the costume drama "Da Qin Fu", and his mother calls him "son", the contrast is so great that people can't bear to look at it directly.
At present, the reaction of netizens to the practice of older actors forcibly pretending to be "young girls" to please the audience has increasingly turned negative.
With the advancement of film and television production methods, no matter how strong the acting skills, the fine lines on the face are nowhere to hide, and it seems that only actors who face up to their age can gain audience recognition with a natural and mature interpretation.
epilogue
Liu Xiaoqing's persistence in resisting aging may stem from her love and attachment to the screen, but to support the girlish feeling in front of the camera is ultimately self-deception.
She should put aside her old self and look to the future and find a role that suits her now, because every stage will have its beauty.
At present, how should Liu Xiaoqing choose? Will she find herself in this moment? It takes time to verify.
The long process of life is always greater than the result, and in the face of the camera, only the truth is eternal.
