Preface
The actors who used to be child stars in the entertainment industry have increased in popularity for more than ten years, and now they are shining in their own fields.
For example, Yang Zi is now known as "Cai Wenji of Internal Entertainment", she is the guarantee of ratings, and many male actors want to cooperate with him even if they break their heads. Zhang Yixing has now become an excellent music creator, Wu Lei's temperament is becoming more and more mature, and different age groups are very fascinating.
And when the entry of "Mo Xiaobei is 31 years old" rushed to the hot search, it reminded people of her, a child star, thinking that when "Wulin Gaiden" was broadcast, the popularity of "Mo Xiaobei" was not low, and it was praised by the audience because this role was played too well.
Now 18 years have passed since the broadcast of "Wulin Gaiden", but the promising "Mo Xiaobei" Wang Shasha disappeared in front of the audience, and when I learned about Wang Shasha's current situation, I knew that Yang Zi had already said the answer.
"What is acting like" Wang Shasha
When Wang Shasha was very young and had no concept of the profession of "actor", she especially liked to watch TV series, and performed with the characters, learned their lines, imitated their expressions and demeanor, although she didn't know what an actor was, but she also wanted to be one of them.
Although Wang Shasha likes acting very much, she was still in elementary school at the time, and her family had not yet begun to think about what Wang Shasha would learn in the future, but her opportunity to become an actor was definitely a big surprise for Wang Shasha.
In 2003, 10-year-old Wang Shasha went to the nearby countryside with the school to experience the idyllic life.
This is this event, and the gears of fate in Wang Shasha's life began to turn, because Wang Shasha met Xu Geng, the director of "Little Soldier Zhang Ga", here.
Xu Geng also came to this countryside for the casting of "Little Soldier Zhang Ga", thinking about whether he would meet a suitable little actor, but he didn't expect to really see it, Director Xu Geng felt that Wang Shasha was a child with energy, especially like the heroine "Yingzi" in "Little Soldier Zhang Ga".
After that, Director Xu Geng observed for a few more days, and couldn't help but ask Wang Shasha's intentions, but he didn't expect Wang Shasha to agree, and quickly persuaded his family to follow the crew to Baiyangdian, where he met Xie Mengwei and Zhang Yishan, the actors of "Little Soldier Zhang Ga".
Wang Shasha's performance did not disappoint Director Xu Geng, she never shouted hard and tired in the crew, followed the director's rhythm, and it was easy to understand, it can be said that she was pointing to where to fight.
After the broadcast of "Little Soldier Zhang Ga", Wang Shasha's name is also well-known, and everyone is quite optimistic about this young girl with a mature performance style, of course, because of this role, Wang Shasha has the opportunity to be favored by the director of "Wulin Gaiden".
After Wang Shasha participated in the filming of "Wulin Gaiden", it can be said that she is a household name in the fire, no one does not know her "Mo Xiaobei", the reason is that Wang Shasha's "Mo Xiaobei" is too expressive, when filming "Wulin Gaiden", she was only 13 years old, but she acted like an "old drama bone", from the lines to the character's demeanor are portrayed very well, Wang Shasha also chose to focus on the road of actor from then on.
Physiognomy became a dilemma
After Wang Shasha was broadcast after "Wulin Gaiden", she began to rise in her career, and received many film and television dramas, such as "Thirteen-Year-Old Girl", "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", and "Special Agreement", which all made Wang Shasha's acting skills go to the next level.
But Wang Shasha also understands that even if she has a certain talent in acting, she can't rely on these alone, so she decided to take the Beijing Film Academy for further study.
But it was this examination that made her realize that in addition to acting skills, the appearance of an actor is also indispensable, but Wang Shasha's appearance is not very in line with the aesthetics of most people now.
She continued to improve her acting skills in school, and she would also take on some roles to play, but as Wang Shasha grew up, her face gradually faded from the immaturity of adolescence, and when she was farther and farther away from the "Mo Xiaobei" in the audience's impression, she was also ridiculed by the group for a while.
Because the casting of film and television dramas is also changing over time, now idol dramas are what most audiences want to watch, high-value male and female protagonists are the basic standard, Wang Shasha's appearance is not very in line with the public's aesthetics, and the natural acceptance is not high.
Although her acting skills are excellent, her appearance does put Wang Shasha in a predicament, she tried to break through the current bottleneck in the past, but her appearance has always been a threshold that she can't cross.
In 2017, Wang Shasha participated in a variety show called "The Birth of an Actor", she was 24 years old that year, but she still couldn't get out of the predicament, so she also hoped that she could let the public see a new her because of this variety show.
Wang Shasha said that she is indeed not a beautiful actress in the public aesthetics, and her current achievements all come from her business ability, she and the original cast of "Wulin Gaiden" performed on the stage together, so that everyone could see the shining her, but she did not give full play to her strength, and was finally eliminated.
The first step to growth is to let go
Maybe then she can understand Yang Zi's true feelings when she said "Everyone knows me, but I don't act", obviously Wang Shasha has created a lot of classic roles, acting skills are online, and she also got a master's degree in 2018, but she just can't receive acting.
Yang Zi used to be in the same predicament as Wang Shasha, when Yang Zi acted in "Family with Children", Song Dandan also told her that she would not be able to be an actor in the future, just because you were not beautiful enough.
And Yang Zi is unwilling, since everyone can't agree with her appearance, it has gradually become the audience's ideal appearance, Yang Zi has finally found the right style in recent years, continued to improve in appearance, and achieved good results, all of which is worth it for Yang Zi, but Wang Shasha doesn't seem to have found her own path and is still in a quagmire.
In 2020, Wang Shasha tried idol dramas for the first time, playing the heroine Xu Kaikai in the TV series "Falling in Love with the Chef Next Door", but it was expected that she would not be loved by the audience, complaining about her appearance, saying that this type of film and television drama is not suitable for her.
However, it was also the filming of this idol drama that Wang Shasha finally woke up, she no longer insisted on the public recognizing her appearance, she understood that it was herself who trapped herself in the quagmire, and she did not have to show her acting skills in a play that was not suitable for her to be recognized to be successful.
Choosing the right role and not dwelling on evaluation is the real way to make yourself progress, and then Wang Shasha chose to let go of her past self, she no longer emphasized that she could, but proved herself with practical actions.
In 2021, a "Mountains and Seas" made her regain the recognition of the audience, although there is no way to put on beautiful makeup and wear beautiful clothes in this drama, Wang Shasha doesn't care, she just wants to create a good character, although she is disgraced, no one who sees it will deny that this child is indeed excellent.
In 2023, 30-year-old Wang Shasha plays a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl, there is still no sense of disobedience, she finds a suitable role for herself in a period drama, and then no matter what the character setting is, she can rely on her professional ability to bring the audience the best experience.
epilogue
Maybe Wang Shasha was anxious for public recognition, appearance is not the criterion for judging an actor, acting is, but her strength is in the wrong direction.
Now the 31-year-old Wang Shasha is no longer entangled in these, she knows that her strength will always be her own, and she will not be nothing because the audience does not approve of it, her strength is her eternal confidence.
Now she is getting better and better in period dramas, and I hope that she will be able to continue to surpass and go further and further on the road of acting, and at the same time look forward to her bringing more exciting roles in the future.
