Everyone was completely shocked by a kiss scene in Lin Gengxin's latest episode "Walking with the Phoenix"! In this intimate scene with Zhao Liying, he was a reserved old virgin, and he interpreted the affectionate kiss into a dragonfly and a light peck. What a surprise!
Why is this male god, known as the "dream lover of 900 million girls", so at a loss when kissing the heroine? Soon the details were revealed: It turned out that in this play, Lin Gengxin played Xingzhi was the last primeval true god, so when he was with the heroine Shen Li, he couldn't resist his inner reserve, and subconsciously closed his mouth at a critical moment!
Sharp-eyed netizens immediately captured this "small action" alive on Weibo, questioning whether Lin Gengxin had smashed this kiss scene, and even joked that "is your 'love' in vain". Soon, the related gossip and complaints spread wildly on the Internet, and Lin Gengxin's "kiss without opening your mouth" was completely ridiculed.
However, more people don't buy the "restrained kiss" of this old drama bone. After all, on the big screen, we have seen too many explicit and hot intimate scenes, and an inadvertent novel attempt is too abrupt and blunt. Moreover, Lin Gengxin has always performed well in film and television works, and he has a good grasp of the delicate role, and the "shut up" performance in this kiss scene is likely to be deliberately done by him.

Thinking about the plot, although the love between Xingzhi and Shen Li is charming, it is finally separated by a layer of life and death taboos. As the last deity, he must have some scruples about intimate contact with women. The so-called "frivolity leads to trouble", he can't help but be conservative and introverted towards love. In this kiss, although he could not hide his murmuring feelings, he chose to refrain and retreat at the last moment, showing the calmness and calmness of this god's identity.
Interpreted from this perspective, Lin Gengxin's "Kiss of Restraint" once again shows his delicate grasp of the unique charm of the characters. He did not rigidly imitate the movements of a standard kiss scene, but flexibly used a high degree of self-interpretation, so that the character of Xingzhi was clearly displayed. No wonder the director team also nodded in satisfaction and praise.
They feel that Lin Gengxin's "shut up and kiss" must be intentional by the script, and the purpose is to create a sense of atmosphere of "wanting to refuse and resting". Xingzhi is a god, and when facing his true love Shen Li, the psychological activities of his inner struggle are more vividly displayed.
From this point of view, the contrasting rivalry between Lin Gengxin and Zhao Liying in "Walking with the Phoenix" does add infinite highlights to this drama. Netizens praised one after another, although it was the second time that the old partner had cooperated, the two still maintained an excellent tacit understanding, and their wonderful acting skills easily resonated with the audience. I look forward to their early "three rides" after they are discharged from the army!
In general, about this light kiss scene, netizens can be said to have different opinions and disagreement. Regardless of Lin Gengxin's true intentions at that time, he had his own understanding and experience of deduction. We hope that this little king of acting skills will continue to show his unique character interpretation in TV series and movies in the future. For the public, how to understand and feel this work will ultimately depend on what everyone sees and thinks. Anyway, the fact that a work can spark such heated discussions and debates proves that it is wonderful enough.
Netizens have no sign of stopping the controversy over this "shut up kiss". In fact, in addition to commenting on Lin Gengxin's acting skills, more people pointed the finger at the script creation of the play itself.
Some viewers believe that if it is to highlight the restraint and restraint of the identity of the deity, then the director team can choose other artistic techniques to render it, instead of filming this jerky kiss scene. In their view, some of the highly condensed plots are sometimes too reluctant and can create a sense of disobedience.
The reasonableness of the "kiss of restraint" has become the focus of questioning. Many people are convinced that the reason why the director arranged it this way is entirely to create a dramatic tension of "wanting to refuse and resting", and to create a confusing love atmosphere, so that the audience can speculate and reverie on the side.
However, there is also a considerable part of the audience who agrees with this. They believe that blindly rendering explicit intimate images is a bit old-fashioned and superficial. The series "Walking with the Phoenix" focuses on the love conflict between gods and humans, and Xingzhi, as a high god, will inevitably struggle with the taboo of falling in love with mortals. Therefore, the reserve and restraint embodied in this kiss scene are exactly in line with the identity setting of the characters.
What's more, this arrangement of the director team is directly compared with our real-life concept of love. They believe that in our real life, there are indeed many people who have a conservative attitude and restraint towards physical relationships. In the traditional concept, there are many taboos about the behavior of men and women. Therefore, the creation of the plot of "Walking with the Phoenix" is not a signal to us that in a love relationship, both men and women should maintain basic reserve and restraint, which is the beginning of a healthy love.

From this point of view, Lin Gengxin's interpretation of the "restrained kiss" in the kiss scene is not unreasonable. Compared with the crew's deliberate "creating highlights", it is more like conveying a positive view of love to the audience. This undoubtedly adds a touch of cultural connotation to this play, and also makes Lin Gengxin, an actor, more comfortable when interpreting this plot.
On the other hand, netizens are also hotly discussing what kind of friendship the old duo of Lin Gengxin and Zhao Liying will be in the next cooperation. After all, the rivalry between the two in this play is so exciting, delicate and romantic, that the audience can't take their eyes off the screen for half a minute. This kind of intertwined love thread repeatedly outlines the overflowing love and hatred between the two protagonists.
Many fans shouted that they once again perfectly demonstrated their professional tacit understanding after "The Legend of Chu Qiao", and everyone was eagerly looking forward to the two actors' actresses being able to quickly "triple match". As long as they work together again, they will definitely collide with new sparks on the screen. When the time comes, what kind of plot will be staged? Will this "restrained kiss" drama be staged again? Or will Lin Gengxin "shine" and shoot this kiss scene openly and sultry? The mystery of all this is really curious.
In fact, for this play and this "kiss of restraint", we don't have to be too serious and entangled. Because every excellent film and television work should have enough inclusive and pluralistic interpretation space, so that it can last for a long time.
We can comprehend and appreciate the sentiments and philosophies contained in this drama from different angles. Some people think that it exaggerates the struggles and contradictions under the taboo of life and death, some people think that it is intended to highlight the tension between divinity and human nature, and some people appreciate the positive energy and love concept it conveys. Different interpretation perspectives are the embodiment of the success of this drama.
Of course, film and television works are ultimately inseparable from the test of public taste. The heated discussions and debates among netizens about this "restrained kiss" are in themselves an affirmation of the production level of this play. Because only a well-made and rich work is enough to arouse such heated attention and discussion.
In this sense, no matter whether Lin Gengxin's "shut up and kiss" at that time was a careful arrangement or an expedient measure, it eventually triggered everyone's in-depth interpretation of the core of the plot, allowing the audience to explore the rich cultural flavor while appreciating it. All these are the basic conditions that an excellent film and television work should have.
The reason why Lin Gengxin and Zhao Liying, the gold medal CP, has attracted much attention, in addition to their excellent acting skills, is more because of the professional tacit understanding shown by the two on the stage. The chemistry between them is reminiscent of the legendary combination of Zhou Sally and Wen Xue back then. Therefore, everyone's expectations for their "three pairs" can be understood.
In general, the judgment of this play and this actor has gone far beyond the scope of pure personal preference. It reflects the current cultural and aesthetic trends, and also reflects the public's ardent expectations for high-quality masterpieces. With the continuous progress of society, these expectations will also be raised day by day, becoming a source of motivation for film and television practitioners to continue to struggle.
