Following "Flowers" and "Dajiang Dahe 3", Yang Ma presented the third highlight of the year: the period drama "South to North".
Although it is directed by gold medal director Zheng Xiaolong, starring popular actor Bai Jingting and powerful actor Ding Yongdai, the word-of-mouth and popularity of this drama after the broadcast are shocking.
has been online for 3 days, and the ratings are not as good as several idol dramas, and they can't even beat the "Love for a Long Time", which has ended.
In fact, the story of this play is still quite secure, and the portrayal of the group drama is also vivid and vivid, and the only failure is the heroine.
The audience's eyes are bright, and the appearance of "Internet celebrity faces" in ancient puppet dramas can still get by, but in period dramas, this is absolutely unacceptable.
thinks that at the beginning, Jin Chen was also a beloved actress, but in "South to North", she became the target of the audience.
Ma Yan played by her is like a wooden man, with stiff facial features and a single expression, especially in the crying scene in episode 6, which makes the audience unbearable to look at it directly.
Ma Yan has been treated unfairly and neglected by his classmates because of his father's departure for ten years, and he has a lot of burdens in his heart, and only his mother and Wang Xin have helped him.
But his father did not allow him to associate with Wang Xin, and at this moment, the character's depressed inner drama finally broke out. This should have been the highlight moment of the actor's acting skills, but Jin Chen's performance has become a negative teaching material.
In order to create a sense of atmosphere, the director gave Jin Chen a lot of close-ups, but Jin Chen's face couldn't brew any natural emotions.
The face can only exert force, the muscle lines on the face are twisted together, and the chin seems to be separated from the flesh and bones, giving people a hideous sense of immediacy.
But a lot of lines have been said, the facial features have been exerting force, and the tears have not been squeezed out for a long time, which makes people more and more embarrassed the more they look at it.
On the other hand, the natural-faced actor Hu Ke does not have so many lines and not so much preparation time, even if it is just a sweeping shot, it makes people feel emotional.
The slightly furrowed brows, moist eyes, forced tears slid across the face, and the aggrieved and unwilling eyes, without hysteria, the grief of the characters is vividly interpreted.
When I heard that my daughter once wanted to commit suicide, but chose to live in order to accompany herself. She slowly walked to Ma Yan's side, comforted the child with the gentlest voice, and surrounded the child with the warmest arms, and the image of the mother instantly stood up.
is also a crying scene, and Bai Yuxia played by Wang Yuanke is also empathetic.
On the one hand, it is the career she is fighting for, and on the other hand, her desire for marriage, but her boyfriend's choice makes her heart like ashes.
The tears she shed made the audience feel the helplessness and powerlessness of ordinary people in the big era.
In addition to the crying scene, Jin Chen's other performances in the play are also difficult to convince the audience, and the sequelae brought by "medical beauty" have greatly reduced her acting skills.
Some netizens even said bluntly: Judging from their appearance and acting skills, Yao Yuling and Wang Xin are more suitable.
It can be seen from this that there is a big gap between Internet celebrity face and natural face actors, in the same scene, natural face actors can achieve a role, while Internet celebrity face actors will drag down the whole drama.
I still remember that director Zhang Yimou once said in an interview: It is understandable for actresses to love beauty, but real beauty is not external, but the temperament and self-confidence that exudes from the inside out.
At the same time, he also made it clear that he would never use an actor with plastic surgery, because under the high-definition lens, even if the musculature on the face moves a little, it will affect the real state of the actor when he makes an expression. If you can't meet the acting skills and matching degree required by the role, you will naturally not be recognized by the audience!
I have to say that Zhang Yimou's vision of choosing actresses is indeed in line with the aesthetics of the Chinese people. Gong Li, Zhang Ziyi, Ni Ni, Zhou Dongyu, Liu Haocun, everyone has different characteristics and a high degree of recognition, and the innate natural beauty can make the actors' acting skills be maximized.
This shows how much influence "plastic face" has on a work.
In the author's opinion, as an actor, even if your appearance improves, if your acting skills remain the same, you will still not be recognized by the audience. Only by constantly improving their hard power can they gain more respect and support from the audience.
