Recently, the luxurious period drama "Flowers" has been on the air, and the ratings remain high, which can be described as hot. But there is one main actor's performance that has been questioned by some audiences, that is, Zheng Kai, who plays the role of "Mr. Wei" in the play. Zheng Kai changed his previous comedy image and played an important role in this drama, but his performance seemed unsatisfactory and incompatible with other actors, turning an opportunity that could have been a big hit into a little embarrassing.
This can't help but arouse heated discussions among netizens about Zheng Kai and the whole drama, some people bluntly said that Zheng Kai's performance was unsatisfactory, and even dragged down the play, and some people thought that Zheng Kai should not be criticized, which was a bold style attempt and breakthrough for him.
What is Zheng Kai's performance, and can it bring down this already highly anticipated lavish play? It seems that we need to look at the actor and the many factors of the show as a whole from a more comprehensive perspective, rather than just a few performances.
郑恺的"奇装异服"与人设不符
Zheng Kai plays a business elite named "Mr. Wei" in "Flowers". But his attire is completely inconsistent with the stereotypical image of an entrepreneur, and is somewhat comical. He was dressed in an exaggerated lace outfit and high heels, with shoulder-length curly hair and an exaggerated expression. This is in strong contrast to other calm and introverted and well-dressed business tycoons in the play.
Many viewers believe that this is definitely a mistake by Zheng Kai and the director team in understanding the role. As the boss of an emerging company, Mr. Wei should be more inclined to a low-key and pragmatic style of dress, rather than so public. This kind of dress made Mr. Wei completely lose the stability and restraint that a business veteran should have, but he seemed to be a comedian who made people laugh.
Of course, there are also opinions that Zheng Kai's move is to make the character more personalized and show the fashion and personality of the new generation of entrepreneurs. But in any case, this kind of dress is completely inconsistent with the character design, making it impossible for the audience to associate the role of Zheng Kai with Mr. Wei, which weakens the viewing experience.
Zheng Kai's acting skills are incompatible with other actors
is not only the appearance, but Zheng Kai's performance in the play has also been criticized. His exaggerated pretentiousness contrasts sharply with the calm and restrained of the other actors in the play.
Compared with actors such as Hu Ge and Ma Yili who can accurately grasp the temperament of the characters, Zheng Kai's performance is obviously too exaggerated and dramatic, and does not show the stability and stability of a business veteran. His every move is full of contrived jokes and ridicule, without the steadiness and calmness of a business elite.
Especially when playing against the old artist You Benchang, who is over 90 years old, this contrast is even more obvious. Zheng Kai's performance is as stiff and stiff as a newcomer, and it is completely incomparable to You Benchang, who plays the old man.
Obviously, this is due to Zheng Kai's comedy acting experience. He is still stuck in the performance mode of entertainment variety shows, and has not completely transformed into the performance style of this business war drama. This also caused his performance to be out of step with the tone of the whole play, giving people an abrupt sense of disobedience.
Zheng Kai's performance really needs to be improved
Although Zheng Kai's performance has been questioned a lot, we should also see that this is a bold attempt and breakthrough for him.
The transition from comedian to serious drama was a challenging one.
We should not criticize Zheng Kai's first attempt to the extent of perfection. At the same time, it should also be noted that Zheng Kai still has excellent performances in many passages in the play, and it is not without bright spots.
Therefore, as an audience, we should not deny Zheng Kai's full acting strength because of his individual performances. After all, accepting this challenge was a brave decision in itself. This is also a very valuable exercise and accumulation for Zheng Kai's future transformation from comedy to serious acting.
There is no doubt that there is still room for improvement and improvement in his performance. But it seems too early to criticize an actor based on the flaws in just one attempt. We still need to continue to observe Zheng Kai's future performances in order to make a more accurate and comprehensive evaluation of his acting strength.
Netizens have heated discussions about Zheng Kai and "Flowers".
This incident quickly caused heated discussions among netizens on the Internet. Regarding Zheng Kai's performance in "Flowers", netizens expressed various opinions.
Some netizens bluntly said that Zheng Kai's performance is too exaggerated and contrived, without the stability of the shopping mall elite, and is completely a comedian's model, which is not related to the role of the play. They think that Zheng Kai's performance is monotonous and boring, and he can't see his acting skills at all, and if the whole play is performed like this, then the quality of the whole drama will be greatly reduced.
But some netizens have different views. They think that Zheng Kai has never played a role in a drama after all, which in itself is a brave attempt and breakthrough. As the first attempt, Zheng Kai's performance still made people see traces of hard work. Moreover, "Flowers" is a work with a multi-line plot, and it will not and should not negate the whole drama because of the performance of one actor.
Of course, there are also a lot of pertinent suggestions for Zheng Kai's performance. Some netizens suggested that Zheng Kai should learn from the successful shaping Xi of the elite role of the shopping mall on the screen in the past, enhance his cognition of this type of role, and maybe make a breakthrough to the next level in the future. Overall, netizens' discussions on Zheng Kai and "Flowers" are more rational and benign.
Wrapping up the view
To sum up, we need to judge Zheng Kai's performance in "Flowers" from a more comprehensive and rational perspective. First of all, his dress does not match the personality, and secondly, the first time he tries a serious role, he still needs to improve in performance, but we must also see that this is in itself an exploration of breaking through himself. It's too early to dismiss an actor based on the performance of a drama alone.
Whether Zheng Kai's performance can negate this big production is also inconclusive. The overall quality of Blossoms remains to be seen, and it should not be judged solely on the basis of individual performance. We need to be patient, but also give tolerance and encouragement to Zheng Kai and the whole team, and continue to look forward to more surprises and breakthroughs from them.
How do you think Zheng Kai should break through himself in his future performances? What highlights does "Flowers" want the audience to see? Welcome to leave a message to discuss.
