Why did Zhang Yue shake off the "Lin Youyou" label? Once became famous in one fell swoop, was scolded to depression | Eight o'clock in the evening
The realist drama "The Glory of the Fathers" is coming to an end, with mixed reviews:
People who like it think that this is a good drama of conscience with a strong team, well-made and full of human touch;
And some viewers think that the play has "influence" in both plot and story portrayal, and the protagonist's acting skills are also seen by the benevolent and the wise.
However, there are several actresses in the play whose performance is eye-catching, in addition to Liu Lin, an immersive acting school, Ge Shanshan who plays Ma Xiaoyun, and Zhou Fang, Liang Fengxia, have given surprises.
But the most surprising thing is Zhang Yue, who plays the actor Chen Xingjie's wife Lin Xiaoqing.
As we all know, she was noticed because of the "green tea junior" Lin Youyou in "Thirty Only", and she was scolded at that time, and even became a representative of phenomenal negative characters, and her popularity was close to Ling Ling, played by Wu Yue.
As a fledgling young actor, she was at great risk.
However, after three years of development, Zhang Yue withstood the pressure and successfully turned over with the roles of Aunt Meng, Lin Xiaoqing and so on, not only throwing off the label of "scumbag", but also embarked on the road of acting.
So, what exactly has she been through in recent years? And how was Nirvana reborn?
1. Become popular with the "green tea slag woman" character
Zhang Yue is a Beijing girl, born in a family of scholars, from a wealthy family, she has been a good girl who grew up in the palm of her parents' hands.
Because parents attach great importance to the cultivation of their daughters in all aspects, they have been exposed to professional training such as singing and dancing since they were young.
Initially, Zhang Yue's dream was to be a dancer, so she signed up for Northern Dance during the college entrance examination.
However, before graduating, she participated in the women's group training reality show "Born to Be Superior" when she was 23 years old.
Zhang Yue in the show gave people a fresh sense of vulgarity, and finally debuted as a member of the "Youmei Girl Group".
During this period, she met her current agent, and under the planning of the other party, she went on many variety shows, but there was no splash.
In 2018, Zhang Yue was "electrocuted" for the first time, shooting the fantasy action film "Yutianjin Emperor 3" and the period drama "That Year 1987".
It was actually very accidental to receive the work "Thirty Only", it is said that the agent asked her to shoot an audition clip, and then went to Shanghai to meet the director.
At that time, Zhang Yue did not think about what impact this work could bring to her career.
In the play, Lin Youyou, played by her, is a "scheming girl", originally a working girl who has just entered the workplace, but by chance met Xu Fengshan, the husband of the heroine Gu Jia, and plunged into it, and began to try his best to approach and seduce the other party.
Especially the scene of eating ice cream from each other, which made the audience hate it and itched their teeth, also became the "black history" that could not be erased in Zhang Yue's career, which once troubled her.
Because the performance is too natural and relaxed, Zhang Yue's version of Lin Youyou has become one of the hottest topic figures in the summer of 2020, with three or four hot searches a day, but the comments received are all negative.
In fact, before filming, she was given a vaccination by the director: "This role may cause some discussion. ”
But Zhang Yue never thought that "Lin Youyou" would be so "hot", causing her to turn off the comment function of social platforms for a while.
In an interview, Zhang Yue couldn't help but cry with grievances, but she was still scolded and even insulted by many netizens with rhythm.
However, some people expressed understanding, believing that roles and actors should be treated separately, and even triggered a vote on the "double standard" of Thai actors and actresses.
It shows that Zhang Yue has indeed attracted attention because of the role of "Lin Youyou", and her face is easily remembered by the audience.
This is a double-edged sword for an actor.
Because although "black and red" is also red, there is unlimited pressure and transformation difficulties, and once the follow-up cannot keep up with the heat and take out a role that makes people look at differently, it is easy to be ignored.
For example, "An Xiaobird" Tao Xinran, who gained attention because of "The Legend of Zhen Huan", has endured online violence for more than 10 years, and has not been able to create a more out-of-the-loop role in the future, and has been tepid.
"Huan Bi" Lan Yingying, who also came out of the same play, is still the image of the "thousand-year-old bad girl" in the audience's heart, and has always been difficult to transform over the years.
Zhang Yue also faces the same risk, but she publicly stated in the interview that she is not in a hurry to tear off this label that is dissed:
"A big reason why the role is full is that it is not black and white, Lin Youyou is actually quite brave in love, but she chose the wrong way and the person she loved, making both lose."
She also said that if she encounters a similar role of "bad woman" in the future, she is still willing to challenge it.
But in fact, the next Zhang Yue has begun to gallop non-stop on the road of transformation.
2. Gradually "whitewash" in 3 years
"Thirty Only" has not yet been broadcast, and she took over variety shows such as "Crossover Singer" and "Actors Please Take Place" with a little popularity.
Especially in the latter, her appearance won the S-grade of the market evaluation, and her results once killed veteran powerful actresses such as Ma Su and Ni Hongjie, which stunned the audience.
But this also shows to some extent that the current competition in the entertainment industry is so cruel, who has popularity and who is young, is indeed an advantage that cannot be ignored.
In the show, Zhang Yue also challenged clips from the movie "The Stolen Five Years" starring Baihe Baihe, causing many netizens to think that she was imitating each other.
Immediately, there was also a saying on the Internet: the two looked very similar, and Zhang Yue was even known as Bai Baihe's successor.
In 2021, she has come up with three TV series, including "True Detective of Lies", "A Female Disciple Came from Guozijian" and "Opponent".
In the three works with extremely different styles, such as in the criminal investigation short drama "True Detective of Lies", Zhang Yue played Jiang Yali, a girl with a poor life, who was abandoned in love and finally died in despair.
This role is diametrically opposed to "Lin Youyou", very sad, and the encounter is very heartbreaking.
And she in the campus costume drama "Guozijian Came a Female Disciple" is the wayward eldest miss Song Jiayin.
Although she is only a supporting role of the third woman, Zhang Yue's performance is remarkable, although her appearance is not overwhelming, but the costume style is sometimes charming and delicate, sometimes atmospheric and bold, and it is easy to make people get on the head when they see more.
In terms of acting skills, Zhang Yue takes an untwisted and relaxed route, giving people a refreshing feeling every time he appears, and the joyful CP between him and the official partner Zhuo Wenyuan is not pretentious, which is very good.
However, what really made her start to get rid of the "Lin Youyou" label was the two works "Good Wishes" and "Star Han Splendid" that were broadcast continuously last year.
The female number two in "Good Wishes", Xu Shijin, is different from the scheming female number two in previous works, and has become a stumbling block to destroy the beautiful relationship between the male and female protagonists.
She is the divine assistant of the love between the two, regards sisterhood as more important than her own life, and she treats her relatives and friends with affection and righteousness, and is very favorable.
In "Star Han Splendid", Zhang Yue's Wan Mengxing has become a "group pet"-like existence, and it is also the best role for fans who like her to whitewash for her when questioned by netizens now.
In the play, Wan Meng is warm and open, like a dazzling red sun, illuminating everyone around him.
Although she is boisterous, she is extremely cute and often endearing.
In terms of acting skills, Zhang Yue also achieved "drama throwing face", and was also rated as "five stars in the drama index" by netizens.
Especially in the scene where she proposed Cheng Song, Wan Mengmeng interpreted her deep love for her lover and her tragic bravery for the future.
Whether in terms of expressions, eyes or body movements, Zhang Yue has achieved the unity of the actor and the person, and also made the audience completely forget the shadow of "Lin Youyou".
It can be said that after she survived the most difficult "career trough", with a sense of tenacity, she turned over again, and abruptly reversed the public's initial bad impression of her.
But no one noticed that in this process, Zhang Yue rarely showed her face in public, and even was careful when giving interviews.
That is to say, since "Thirty Only", she has "hidden" herself behind the role, silently improving her acting skills, hoping to use her interpretation of the role to fight a beautiful turnover.
3. The theater path is very wide, and the future can be expected
This year's summer hit drama "My Human Fireworks" caught fire with supporting actor Wei Daxun, but in fact, Zhang Yue's performance in it is also remarkable.
Li Meng, played by her, is a supervisor of the Shilitai fire station, and her first appearance gives people a refreshing and capable feeling.
However, because the play puts more important pen and ink on the bloody love of the male and female protagonists, Zhang Yue has not received many dividends.
However, the month after the show was broadcast, the CCTV drama "The Glory of Fathers" was launched.
Although the play also gathers excellent actresses such as Liu Lin and Zhou Fang with relaxed acting skills, Lin Xiaoqing, the second female number one of "Bai Fumei" played by Zhang Yue, is also very eye-catching.
Especially her character setting, even reached the beauty of some distortion:
She is a simple and kind bureau chief Qianjin, but she falls in love with the lonely and complex "phoenix man" Chen Xingjie - although the two are long-term adolescent friendships, every time the man encounters the choice between the original family and the small family, the former will be the first.
This directly led to Lin Xiaoqing's passivity in love, and some people said: Although Xingjie is a good young man who will be rewarded with kindness, he always owes him to his small family and wife.
And Zhang Yue is not exaggerating in interpreting such a "perfect wife" character:
Lin Xiaoqing when she was a student was bold and lively, and she faced the boy she loved in her heart and bravely expressed her love in her own way.
After transforming into a corporate white-collar worker, she is generous and capable, but every time she faces her husband's tilted balance in the small family and everyone, she will look fragile and dazed.
The scene that impressed deeply was Lin Xiaoqing's grievances and helplessness when he had no choice but to fly back to the northeast and curl up next to his father in the car.
But as soon as she turned around, she took out her parents' old book and the down payment for buying a house, supporting Chen Xingjie to solve her brother's problems.
It can be said that Zhang Yue accurately grasped the simplicity and kindness of "Bai Fumei", who has never suffered anything, as well as her infinitely considerate emotional changes for her husband.
Although the character of Lin Xiaoqing does not have much dramatic tension and belongs to a plain and gentle existence, it is extremely charismatic.
In addition to "The Glory of Fathers", Zhang Yue's resources have always been very good, and she has just finished filming the period business war drama "Difficult Manufacturing" produced by Noon Sun.
This work is adapted from Anai's novel, and the production team is also quite strong, and director Li Xue has filmed excellent works such as "Crossing the Guandong", "No War in Beiping" and "The Pretender", and has won numerous awards.
In the original work, the female number two Lin Chuan played by Zhang Yue in the play is also a very heavy role.
It's just that this work has recently fallen into an unclear situation because of the negative news of the heroine Song Zuer, and it is unknown when it will meet the audience.
However, Zhang Yue should no longer worry about transformation, after all, she has worked hard to get out of the predicament and welcome a better acting career.
