When a female star falls into the pit of the Internet University, Gillian, He Meitian, and Zhou Haimei can't bear it
After the tax turmoil, Khorgos's film and television companies were cancelled in large quantities, many directors and big-name stars were hidden, and Ms. Fan single-handedly pulled out half of the entertainment industry, and the film and television investment trend has been sluggish since then.
According to the data of the National Bureau of Statistics, in 2019, the number of TV dramas that completed the filing in the country was 905, a year-on-year decrease of 22.18%, and 254 TV dramas were produced and distributed nationwide.
In 2020, only 202 TV dramas and 531 feature films will be produced and distributed nationwide.
In 2021, only 194 TV dramas will be produced and distributed nationwide, a year-on-year decrease of 3.96%.
After experiencing the epidemic, the film and television industry has entered the frozen era from the cold winter.
According to the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television's "2022 National Radio and Television Industry Statistical Bulletin", 160 TV dramas were produced and distributed nationwide, a year-on-year decrease of 17.53%!
Judging from the above data, it is not surprising that celebrities have entered the live streaming industry.
Many first-line stars are also unemployed, variety shows are not fragrant, traffic stars have been completely beaten back to their original shape, singers have also returned to the industry, and concerts in 2023 have begun to raid small cities and even counties.
With the involution of the short video industry, online movies and vertical screen short dramas will usher in a new wave in 2023.
Top stars like Yang Mi and Reba are all in the fashion circle, and the cheap and easy-to-use TVB out-of-fashion stars have become the main force of online movies.
Do you still know these beauty queens who once dominated the screen?
Recently, Li Qian participated in the online movie "Collision with Evil", which caused heated discussions among the audience on the Internet, with a stiff and hideous expression, which is very in line with the tone of the film and makes the audience feel creepy.
Many viewers have said that they almost didn't recognize such a familiar face.
You must know that Li Qian was also red and purple back then.
The debut is the peak, the pomegranate in "Li Wei as an Official", the little mud in "The History of Wulin", the little comb in "The Granary of the World", the little boy in "Xiao Shiyi Lang", etc., are all hits.
and then to the drama "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" launched by TVB in 2004, starring Lin Feng and Wu Zhuoxi, two popular students, Li Qian with a beautiful mole is deeply loved by young audiences.
Li Qian was less than 20 years old when she filmed this drama, and she looked young and cute.
Now 39 years old, she is obviously getting older, and the amazing changes on the camera make the audience unrecognizable.
What's even more surprising is that Li Qian's iconic "beauty mole" disappeared.
It is reported that as early as 2018, Li Qian clicked off this mole, and her recognition disappeared with it, and it is difficult to become popular in online dramas.
In fact, Li Qian's acting career has not been interrupted, and in 2020, she will also play Zhang's mother in "I Am Yu Huanshui", except for this drama, which has not been a hit in the past 10 years.
TVB goddess He Meitian also suffered the same embarrassment, He Meitian played the mother of the male protagonist in the online movie "Secret Agent for the Protection of the Country", the 48-year-old her baby face finally lost her face, and she showed her old age with light makeup in the play.
The protagonist relies on filters, and the wrinkles of the powerful faction are all plays.
The crow's feet and pigmentation spots in the film can be seen clearly, and netizens lamented that "the years are unforgiving".
However, the actor himself is actually 36 years old, so it is really far-fetched for He Meitian to play his mother.
In 1996, He Meitian became famous with the TVB version of "Smiling Proud Jianghu", and her pure and lovely appearance was named "the most beautiful Yilin".
Nezha in "Journey to the West", Zhong Ling in the 1997 version of "Dragon Babu", etc., are also classics.
In fact, He Meitian's baby face has not changed much, but it seems to have betrayed its true state in online movies.
And after being nearly half a hundred years old, it is normal to be old, which also proves that she has not used surgery or fillers on her face for anti-aging, and she is still that naturally beautiful face.
Even Zhou Haimei, the TVB leader in the 80s, couldn't jump out of the pit of the Internet.
In the early years, "Rogue Tycoon" and "The Journey of Life" starring Zhou Haimei were all TVB ratings masterpieces, until the performance "Intolerable" became popular all over the streets and became TVB's popular actresses.
In 1994's "Heaven and Dragon Slayer", she was the peerless Zhou Zhiruo, and in 2019's "Heaven and Dragon Slayer", Zhou Haimei starred in the extermination master...
It's indeed a waste of resources to play for traffic stars.
Later, Zhou Haimei simply invested in and starred in an online movie.
For example, "Jigong's Descent of the Dragon Has Remorse", "Shura Bride", "The Soul of the Han Army", "Demon Hunting Academy" and so on.
Zhou Haimei's acting skills and temperament, even if it is another 10 years, are beyond the reach of online actors.
In the movie "Returning from Removing the Armor", Zhou Haimei met the vase actress Xu Dongdong, who was known for her "beauty", and was instantly turned into scum in front of Zhou Haimei.
The two are in the same frame, a cinema texture face, and a collision with a plastic Internet celebrity face.
The worst thing to be pitted by the Internet University is Gillian in the "Demon Mirror", the online movie "Fengshen: Daji" found Gillian to play a generation of demon concubine Su Daji, and originally wanted to rely on Gillian to market a wave.
However, Gillian, whose expression is out of shape, not only has an exaggerated appearance, but her bloated posture has been complained about by the whole network.
As we all know, Su Da has a stunning beauty that captivates the country and the city, but Gillian's appearance in the play is not glamorous, and she is only old-fashioned.
The movie style of "Fengshen: Daji" takes the fantasy route, mixed with a lot of action scenes, and also designed a fight scene for Gillian, which makes Gillian's clumsy body look even more funny on the screen.
Because Gillian was complained about being fat by the whole network, it also made Gillian make up her mind to lose weight, which can be regarded as a "blessing in disguise".
In 2022, Gillian starred in the online movie "Green Snake: Frontier" again, this time Gillian finally turned over, and the film topped the hit list after it was released.
suffered Daji's loss, this time Gillian used her sexy side and showed the charm of the green snake to the audience "cheaply".
The reason why it is said to be cheap is that this is a common problem of online movies, the production funds of the Internet University are limited, and the plot collapses + third-rate special effects, resulting in Gillian not having many opportunities to show it at all.
For celebrities, it is difficult to return to the theater after entering the pit of the Internet University.
In 2023, Gillian will also star in the low-cost "Women's Prison" and "Strange Love: Painted Skin".
In "Women's Prison", the queen of bad movies Zhou Xiuna is the heroine, the outdated queen Li Caihua plays a supporting role, and there are also TVB popular spicy chickens such as Wu Qianyu, Chen Ying, Wu Jiali, etc., Gillian does not have many scenes in the film.
Although there are many fierce quarrels and fight scenes in the film, and several goddesses frequently explode foul language, there is still a big gap compared with the classic version of the movie "Women's Prison" starring Zheng Yuling, Xia Wenxi, Feng Baobao, etc.
is like Chow Yun-fat's male version of "Prison Storm", as a classic masterpiece of the era, it is difficult to be surpassed.
It is admirable that these TVB actors are willing to appear in the Internet University with a low salary, because they really like filming and regard actors as a profession.
Unlike many celebrities, they would rather go to live broadcasts and go to the acupoints than put down their bodies and accept small-cost film and television dramas.
