Recently, the TV series "West Out of the Jade Gate" starring Ni Ni is on the air. But what is surprising is that this time the 35-year-old seems to be too deliberately shaping her "temperament beauty" through her posture in the play, which has caused a lot of controversy.
In the play, there are endless close-ups of beautiful legs and slow-motion provocative shots, all emphasizing to the audience that "I am beautiful, you praise me". For example, the bath scene slows down the camera, just to record her graceful back; For example, when eating barbecue, she will seduce the male protagonist Changdong with ambiguous eyes.
But the "sexiness" constructed by these deliberate performances is seriously out of touch with the heroine Ye Liuxi, an ordinary woman living in a desert town. For a while, negative comments about "show" and "greasy" were rampant, and Ni Ni's performance road seemed to be in a quagmire because of this.
In fact, self-confidence and intellectuality are Ni Ni's charm. But relying too much on external conditions will also make the performance a mechanical "self-show charm". I hope Ni Ni can recognize this problem and not be blinded by overconfidence in the outside.
Only when the mind is open, can a richer and more three-dimensional interpretation be presented.
In fact, this is not the first time Ni Ni has been criticized for being too conceited, resulting in exaggerated performances. She had received similar feedback in earlier works.
In the TV series "The Golden Years", Zhu Suosuo played by Ni Ni deliberately emphasized his figure with every move. For example, riding an electric car also has to deliberately shake your hair, or when you are newly married, you need to wear a close-fitting dress to show off your good figure.
For her, who calculates the sense of the picture step by step, her charm seems to be the only selling point of her works. This makes the audience feel that this conceit has reached the point where it should be taken seriously.
Even in some recent red carpet interviews, Ni Ni also superficially posed a fixed "I am the most beautiful" posture, holding her head high to show her confidence. In fact, true self-confidence comes from the heart and does not need to be deliberately externalized.
Her repeated fall into this performance routine indicates that she has fallen into the mistake of self-expression.
After many feedbacks, Ni Ni should realize that performances that are only externally packaged will not work, and they need to be richer in connotation. However, due to the difficulty of changing for a while, she still reuses the previous performance mode in the new play.
In fact, Ni Ni doesn't have to worry so much about the decline of her appearance, her charm is still outstanding. The focus is on elevating the inner rather than relying on external conditions. Hopefully, she can step out of this frame and find a better balance between the inside and the outside.
In fact, excessive self-confidence often leads people to fall into the limitation of feeling good about themselves, and it will also affect the understanding and interpretation of roles. In "Out of the Jade Gate", Ni Ni's every move shows her belief in her charm, but it can't let the audience really feel the inner world of the heroine Ye Liuxi.
For example, the shot of her slowing down to show her figure in the bath scene has become a routine. When eating barbecue, she seduced the male protagonist Changdong with ambiguous eyes, and only stayed at the physical teasing, which did not bring real tension.
The "sexiness" constructed by this deliberate performance has lost the true meaning of sexiness.
In fact, Ni Ni doesn't need to deliberately rely on these external postures to attract attention. She already has outstanding appearance conditions, as long as she is open-minded, she can interpret more delicate emotional colors.
What is most lacking now is to put aside the "charm of oneself" and focus more on the characters, and stimulate the realism of acting skills through inner experience.
I hope that Ni Ni can realize this, jump out of the external framework, and no longer perform the symbol of "beauty" mechanically, but through the exploration of the emotional world of the characters, presenting a richer and more three-dimensional interpretation.
The external aura will eventually be covered by the inner light, and Ni Ni still needs to continue to precipitate in order to give full play to the true strength of her acting skills.
In fact, Ni Ni doesn't need to worry too much about the fading of her appearance. At her current age of 35, among actors of the same age, her appearance and figure still maintain an obvious advantage.
But if she relies too much on these innate conditions and ignores the cultivation of connotation, the development of her career will definitely fall into a bottleneck.
Acting skills are the foundation of an actor's foothold, and the external color will eventually fade. Truly excellent performance requires a delicate grasp of the psychology of the characters and an immersive emotional experience.
For example, ordinary people in life will also have a wealth of inner activities, not just external postures. I hope that Ni Ni can jump out of the framework of relying only on external eye-catching, put more energy on emotional expression, and present a more three-dimensional interpretation through the exploration of the inner life of the characters.
This requires the actor to have enough emotional resonance and imagination to make the character real. With Ni Ni's intelligence and acumen, she can do this.
She needs to realize that continuing to rely on external conditions will only limit her possibilities for further advancement. Compared with the external scenery, the inner change is the king.
In the future, what we expect to see from Ni Ni is a bright aura from the improvement of acting skills, not just limited to external brilliance.
To sum up, Ni Ni should realize that it is not advisable to rely only on external conditions for performance, and it is necessary to pay attention to avoid the disadvantages of patterning. As an excellent actor, she has the strength to get through this trough, readjust her state, and move towards a higher level of acting.
I hope that Ni Ni can jump out of her attachment to the outside world and explore richer connotations. With the innate advantage of appearance, if her heart is strong enough, she will definitely be able to play a better work and regain the recognition of the audience.
We sincerely hope that Ni Ni will soon regain her form and release a dazzling true light on the road of performance in the future.
