In the current film and television industry, it is no surprise that some middle-aged actors pretend to be young boys and play girls, and it is not surprising that actors of the same generation play mothers and daughters, father and son, for example, 56-year-old Jiang Wenli called "Mom" to Zhu Yin, who is 8 years older than Zhu Yin, in "Love Around the Corner", and even more such as Liu Xiaoqing, who is 70 years old but calls "Daddy" to 63-year-old actors.
In short, as long as the actor's psychological quality is good, it is a piece of cake to act awkwardly, and who would have thought that the 40-year-old Chen Yanxi not only played the mother, but also had a son who was 8 years younger than him in the play.
Director Zheng Xiaolong's works are absolutely guaranteed in quality, "The Legend of Zhen Huan" and "The Legend of Miyue" are the best illustrations, and the TV series "The Legend of the Tibetan Sea" that he is preparing to shoot this time has invited Xiao Zhan and Zhang Jingyi to serve as the male and female protagonists, well-known directors + top domestic entertainment + good scripts, such a configuration has made the audience full of expectations for this drama.
And with the exposure of Reuters tidbits, netizens actually found an incredible scene, but I didn't expect the 40-year-old Chen Yanxi to play Xiao Zhan's mother in the play, it stands to reason that Chen Yanxi's age to play a mother is a normal thing, but she and Xiao Zhan stand together, more like sisters and brothers, if you play "mother and son", it is really a bit far-fetched, and it makes people unconsciously play.
Netizens couldn't help but comment that the 40-year-old mother has a 32-year-old son, only an 8-year-old age difference, what a good old son.
In fact, this is not the first time that Chen Yanxi has partnered with Xiao Zhan, the two have previously starred as a couple in a micro-movie, but they didn't expect to cooperate again but played "mother and son".
And in addition to Chen Yanxi playing his mother, Zhong Hanliang also plays Xiao Zhan's father in the play, which is also a bold challenge for him, after all, Zhong Hanliang is the queen male protagonist of major idol dramas.
Despite the age of 49, he is either playing a domineering president, or playing an affectionate male lead, in short, he is still running wild on the track of idol dramas, but he didn't expect Zhong Hanliang to play his father now, it seems that Zheng Xiaolong's choice of actors is indeed unexpected.
In fact, if you think about it from another angle, acting skills are the primary productive force, as long as the actor plays well and does not collapse if he is obedient, then whether he is playing a mother and son or a father and son, there is no sense of disobedience.
For example, in the recent hit "Walking with the Phoenix", Xu Haiqiao played Zhao Liying's father, and still relied on his superb acting skills to make the audience praise this role.
In the audience's impression, Chen Yanxi has always carried the label of "sweet girl", and became popular with the role of Shen Jiayi in "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years", perhaps because of the role filter, so that Chen Yanxi is now married and has children, and still gives people a sweet little girl's feeling.
Chen Yanxi played Xiao Zhan's mother in Zheng Xiaolong's new drama this time, which may be the first step in transformation, after all, there are not many scripts in idol dramas now, and the quality is uneven.
Chen Yanxi's bold transformation may bring different surprises to the audience, and we should believe in the strength of director Zheng Xiaolong, under his guidance, what kind of mother and son will Chen Yanxi and Xiao Zhan deduce?
