When did Xianxia drama become a theme that everyone shouted at?
In fact, in the field of Chinese dramas, Xianxia dramas can be called "popular professionals", and classic masterpieces such as "Fragrant Honey Sinks Like Frost" and "Flower Thousand Bone" abound.
However, in the past two years, the creators have come over when they smell it, and a large number of bad dramas have emerged in an endless stream to harvest the heat.
In 2024 alone, many new works such as "Fairy Sword 4" and "Pray for the Present Dynasty" have already emerged.
But I thought that Zhao Liying would be able to come up with a ruthless drama, and the audience's expectations for "Walking with the Phoenix" are also quite high.
didn't expect the show to go high and low, and its reputation collapsed, and it also became a fierce general in the bad Xianxia drama.
As for the plot complaints, I think the audience is tired of watching it.
The play doesn't have much story to speak of, and the daily dramas like running accounts make people drowsy.
In fact, the plot has been updated to the present, and the key to the real impact of word-of-mouth results is the performance of the actors.
Among them, the heroine Zhao Liying's strength has been questioned, and she has caused a lot of controversy because of the photo with the stand-in, what happened?
01 Slap yourself in the face
Although most celebrities will have their own stuntman, it is not common for Zhao Liying to be willing to take photos with a stand-in.
No, after some netizens posted a photo of the two, related topics also appeared on the hot search.
At first, I thought that the comment area was full of positive comments such as praising Zhao Liying for her lack of shelves and respect for the staff, but some netizens shouted: "I feel that the stand-in is more flexible."
Don't say it, Zhao Liying in the photo is wearing an ancient costume, and she is still familiar.
But in comparison, the stand-in young lady next to her has clear eyebrows, delicate facial features, a face that is smaller than Zhao Liying, a dimple when she laughs, and her eyes are more energetic.
Good guy, Zhao Liying was actually pressed by a stand-in.
In addition, some netizens pointed out the key question: "Isn't Yingbao playing by himself? Why is there a stand-in?"
I believe that many viewers, like me, saw a lot of news about Zhao Liying's play before the broadcast of "Walking with the Phoenix".
In the video, she went into battle in person, hanging Weiya and playing with a spear, not to mention how serious she looked.
At the same time, martial arts instructor Mu Ning also "praised her" on social platforms, and claimed that this was the first time he praised an actor.
Because Zhao Liying worked very hard in training, 10 pounds of iron rods were no problem.
And even with a back injury, she "had to do all the movements herself."
Wait, so what's the case with this "stand-in"?
The crew can't spend money to hire someone as a decoration, so they don't have to do any work!
From the photos posted by the stuntman, it can be seen that the costume she is wearing should be the costume of the heroine Shen Li and the male protagonist Xingyun after she went down to earth.
Audiences who have watched the play know that there are no particularly dangerous martial arts actions in that scene, and the performance is basically a daily account.
Even if Shen Li taught the gentlemen a lesson, he just waved his little hand and replaced the play with special effects. As for the role of hanging Weiya, it can be regarded as the basic skill of a costume actor.
Sure enough, you can't dig deeper, everyone understands it.
This time, Zhao Liying really slapped herself in the face, not to mention whether the actors are respectful or not, and whether their acting skills are good or not, in fact, you can see one or two from their plays.
And Zhao Liying's performance in this drama was not as good as expected.
The play looks soft, the limbs are stiff, and the whole process only cares about the concave shape, in fact, most of them still rely on post-production to add a cool atmosphere.
In addition, Zhao Liying's acting skills are even more eyeless, stalking her neck, reading lines mechanically, and having a straight face in any situation.
I see that she is not playing King Bicang, but the female version of "King Duan", Yang Yang has to bow down when she sees it.
If you have the kung fu of marketing, it is better to improve your acting skills, will it really hurt your face?
02 The stand-in chaos is too outrageous
In fact, this is not the first time that Zhao Liying has been complained by the audience because of her use of a stand-in.
As early as the period of "The Legend of Chu Qiao", she was exposed to use all kinds of stand-ins on the set, which was so outrageous that the audience wanted to laugh.
For example, "lying down".
That's right, the heroine has a scene where she needs to lie on the ground, there is no technical difficulty, and it can even be said to be "easy".
Judging from the face in the camera, it is obviously not Zhao Liying herself.
And also - "kneeling".
We don't know if Zhao Liying also has gold under her knees, she doesn't even want to kneel, and she has to let a stand-in play this paragraph, but such an obvious goofs scene is too embarrassing.
Not only that, but when I saw "Running Place", I really lived in Bengbu.
The director didn't say to find her an actress with a similar figure, with a big waist and a round waist, even fans can't close their eyes to be embarrassed.
I didn't expect Zhao Liying to earn this salary easily, and as her stuntman, it doesn't seem to be difficult to make money.
Co-authored, only the audience is "wronged"?
In addition to Zhao Liying, there are countless chaos of traffic actors using stand-ins.
For example, Di Lieba had to find a stand-in for even a slap in "Long Song Xing".
Even if she doesn't find a stand-in, the actor shouldn't really hit her in the face, right?
It's just a show, let her turn around with the action, but I didn't expect this kind of scene to be worth playing.
So is Di Lieba here to act, or is he here to brush his face?
I don't need her to act in person in the future, it's easier to change the face directly.
In addition, Ju Jingyi also used a stand-in in "Ruyi Fangfei", and there is more than one.
One is used for horseback riding, one is used for literary drama, and Ju Jingyi probably has no role left.
Obviously, the acting skills are so bad, and he still hasn't taken out some serious filming attitude, it seems that it is not for nothing that the popularity of passers-by is so poor.
And the stand-in chaos should really be rectified as soon as possible.
03 Conclusion
Wu Jing once asked in an interview: "You can't learn, but if you just pretend to use a stand-in, can you give your money to the stand-in?"
As an action actor, he also played many dangerous action scenes in person, and he had more than 100 stitches all over his body because of his injuries.
And this is probably the confidence that Wu Jing can ask this sentence.
In fact, young actors don't have to work hard to film like Wu Jing, but some people need to find stand-ins for even the most basic scenes, so it can't be said, right?
Stand-ins do have a reason to exist, because many actions need to be done by professionals, and the safety of the actors must also be ensured.
But "everything can be replaced" is a typical industry chaos, which completely tears the fig leaf of this group of traffic actors.
What the audience is disgusted with is not that the stars are looking for stand-ins, but that they are disgusted with their behavior of taking sky-high salaries but filming seriously and fooling the audience.
So what do you think about this?
