In today's entertainment industry, earth-shaking changes have taken place in the choice of heroines. In the past, those national-level diva superstars are no longer the inevitable heroine candidates.
Instead, there are a group of young actors who are not outstanding in appearance and can only be regarded as ordinary-looking. They quietly took over the burden of the heroine and became the new favorites of current film and television dramas.
This dramatic change made many audiences who were Xi to being beautiful women as heroines feel quite stunned. They really can't understand why there are so many excellent actors with excellent appearance and excellent acting skills, but they finally give up the opportunity to these "little actors".
Taking the recently hit urban drama "Above the Clouds" as an example, the heroine Bai Jie got such a rare opportunity with a very ordinary face. And her predecessor, actress Ma Jing, has been reduced to a small supporting role in the play.
In fact, there have been many similar cases in recent years. Those diva-level movie stars that we are familiar with seem to have collectively disappeared from the heroine position. Instead, the headlines and hot searches are all mediocre new faces.
Is this change inevitable of the times, or is it the helplessness of the industry? The reasons need to be further explored. But at least judging from the current situation, "ordinary women are in charge" has become a label of this era.
Those peerless beauties who are naturally beautiful may only be able to shine on the big screen. On the TV screen, more and more ordinary faces will appear.
When "comedy of appearance" becomes "comedy of simplicity", should we accept it gladly? This requires each of us viewers to resonate with ourselves and press the answer in our hearts.
But in any case, as long as there is an audience, the industry will have vitality.
In today's film and television industry, "reconstruction" seems to have become a hot word. In terms of clothing styling, we have seen countless attempts to "reshape tradition", among which there are many traces of magic change.
Among this kind of dross, the most astonishing thing is the costume style of some heroines.
Take Bai Rui, the heroine of "Longyang Love", as an example, the role she plays in the play should have been a gentle and lovely talented girl. But the stylist designed her with blonde curls and intense eyeshadow.
This is in great contrast to the dress of ancient women. What's even worse is that her opponent in the play, Bai Man, has a supporting role, but she perfectly interprets the elegant temperament of ancient women.
This made the audience compare and feel that the image of the heroine was miserable.
In addition, in another drama about the palace struggle, the image of the heroine Ling Yu also encountered a similar "unadaptation". The photographer used a lot of soft light to retouch her facial features, trying to create a charming and bewitching beauty.
But this deliberate rendering technique is too artificial, and it does not feel the dignified elegance of the ancients at all. On the contrary, Li Qian, a little palace maid next to her, naturally exudes a simple and gentle temperament under the simplest hair accessories and light makeup, which easily touched the hearts of the audience.
There are countless such examples, which shows that there is still a lot of room for improvement in the costume shaping of the heroine in film and television dramas. I look forward to the day when we can see on the screen an image of a woman who is truly integrated into ancient times, and impress this busy and noisy world with the true state of oriental beauty.
The filming progress of film and television dramas is getting denser and denser, which puts forward higher requirements for the acting skills of actors. In such an environment, some actors who were originally active in the film industry performed unsatisfactory after participating in TV series, and they were compared to female supporting actors from time to time.
Taking the actress Tranquility as an example, she played an elegant, intelligent and intelligent white-collar woman in the movie "Waiting", which was well received. But after switching to the costume drama "Heart Flower Road", Tranquility seems to have entered a "period of stiff acting", and the performance of the whole drama is relatively stiff and dull, and it fails to integrate into the characters in the play.
On the contrary, it was An Xin, the second female, who successfully created a multi-faceted and complex image of a palace maid, which easily stole the audience's attention.
Another movie star Tang Sha also performed poorly when starring in the urban emotional drama "Little Doudou by the Window". The image of the white-collar woman she played in the play is stereotypical and single, and she has never shown the delicate emotions in the movie. And her good sister part-time rival Xie Qiu successfully presented the inner world of this professional woman vividly and vividly through a series of wonderful and meticulous performances, which resonated with the audience.
There are all kinds of signs that the TV series has put the actors' acting abilities to a new test. Those actors who are Xi to running in roles for a long time in movies may face the dilemma of not being able to keep up with their acting skills once they enter the fast-paced TV circle.
This also allows us to see that if you want to play well in all kinds of film and television drama genres, you have put forward all-round requirements for the acting skills of actors. It is expected that more and more artists can cross this threshold and present better works.
The characterization in film and television dramas is directly related to whether the audience can have an emotional connection with it. If the characters are not three-dimensional and full, it will be difficult for the audience to resonate with them.
In recent years, there are obvious deficiencies in the portrayal of some heroines, which has also become one of the reasons why they are compared to supporting actresses.
Like in the urban emotional drama "Three Lives and Three Worlds", the white-collar image created by the heroine Bai Qian is slightly thin, she never takes the initiative to fight for her personality, and she is always weak and powerless when she encounters problems.
This made many female viewers lack a good impression of her. The image of the lawyer played by the second heroine Ji Ruoshan is very individual, daring to face the pressure of the workplace, and insisting on her own love position.
This distinct character portrayal is more resonant.
For example, in the costume palace fighting drama "Jinxin Like Jade", the image of Wu Zetian created by the heroine Bai Han is not three-dimensional and plump enough. She always feels weak and passive in the play, lacking aggressiveness and the momentum that a ruler should have.
On the other hand, the second female Fengjiu has successfully created an image of a female politician with tough means and a deep city government. Although she is the villain in the play, the plump character portrayal still captures the hearts of the audience more.
It can be seen that if the heroine wants not to be compared to the supporting actress, the three-dimensionality and depth of the character portrayal are very important. Only by creating a character with a distinct personality and a rich heart can it be easier to resonate and attract the attention of the audience.
It also poses a new test for today's screenwriters and actors.
