In the past two years, Mesozoic actors are steadily rising.
"Hurricane" at the beginning of last year made Zhang Songwen and Zhang Yi directly promoted the two actors to the top of the popular uncle circle, and their popularity and popularity are not inferior to that of young traffic idols.
This year, the momentum of middle-aged actors is even stronger, in the drama "Wind Chaser", Wang Yang even overshadowed Wang Yibo's limelight, and the sense of husband has become a new synonym for Wang Yang.
And the just-launched "City in the City" made Yu Hewei fire the second shot of popularity, and the financier he played has both an elite sense of sight and a very refreshing feeling, which is also unstoppable.
But not all Mesozoic actors are more popular the older they get, and Huang Lei is an exception.
In the latest episode of "A Date with Luyu", the host Lu Yu talked to Huang Lei, allowing everyone to see Huang Lei's true state and mentality.
Huang Lei in the show responded that he had no drama to film, and his words were sharp, and every word could make many stars who had similar experiences empathize, and after listening to Huang Lei's reasons, I finally understood Feng Xiaogang's words.
From the front of the stage to behind the scenes, Huang Lei, who has no scenes to film, is becoming more and more "lazy".
At present, Huang Lei is working on a show called "Cat in a Box", and the show has invited many guest artists to help, many of whom are stars who have worked with Huang Lei before.
For example, in the first episode of the show, Huang Bo and Zhang Yixing were invited, and several people established a deep friendship with the variety show "Extreme Challenge", and "Cat in the Box" is Huang Lei's first time as the chief producer of a variety show, and these friends in the circle naturally came to help.
From this point, it can be seen that Huang Lei's popularity is good, but at the same time, it also shows that Huang Lei's focus has shifted from the front of the stage to behind the scenes.
When mentioning this change, Huang Lei said that the reason why he made this change was because interest determined the choice, and the behind-the-scenes work was harder than in front of the stage, but he enjoyed it.
Although Huang Lei has multiple identities, plus a variety show producer, he has been a singer, actor, teacher, screenwriter, director and theater festival promoter, etc., but the most well-known of them is actors.
When he was young, Huang Lei's appearance and reputation were all online, so he partnered with Zhou Xun and others to star in works such as "Orange is Red", "April Day in the World" and other works, not only the output is high, but the vision of drama selection is also quite accurate, and the image with large differences in character design has accumulated rich acting experience for Huang Lei
According to such a development path, as long as Huang Lei insists on acting, he can now be called a top-level actor in the uncle circle, after all, he has the foundation of popularity and popularity, maintain a good figure, and choose some good scripts, I am afraid that few of today's uncle circles are his opponents.
But as he grew older, Huang Lei's middle-aged figure first became fat, and gradually became synonymous with greasy, and in the case of photogenic requirements, Huang Lei still did not manage his figure. He said in the interview that he loves to eat very much, and he can't control his mouth, so he likes to eat and drink.
Even if he wants to act in a drama, it is because he can make an appointment with two or three friends to have a drink after the performance, which is the motivation for him to be willing to act.
But it was two years ago when he entered the public eye as an actor, and it was three years ago that he played the leading role, it can be said that Huang Lei has been absent from the screen for a long time, and he is rarely seen in variety shows.
Regarding that he has no scenes to film, Huang Lei's response is that he is taking on fewer and fewer scenes, because he is becoming more and more lazy and doesn't want to keep himself too busy, so he gradually gave up his identity as an actor.
In the entertainment industry, which is changing so quickly, it can even be said that it is changing with each passing day, if you don't act for two years and don't play the leading role for three years, you will soon be abandoned by the market. Although Huang Lei has a lot of other jobs, his identity as an actor is about to be unkept.
So, why is Huang Lei getting more and more lazy, so that there is no drama to film?
What is the act of destroying something, Feng Xiaogang broke the "heavenly machine" behind it
It is undeniable that Huang Lei's acting skills when he was young were very exquisite, and he was more talented than actors of the same age.
But Huang Lei's acting skills have fallen too seriously in recent years.
The large-scale controversy started from "Xiaomin's Family", and the audience was looking forward to him partnering with Zhou Xun again, but what was waiting for was Huang Lei's performance of another homogeneous role in the play, or a good man in the Gu family, or as always, he was broken and chattering.
As soon as this drama came out, the audience saw the shadow of Fang Yuan in "Little Joy" and "Little Farewell" from Huang Lei, and the novelty was gone, replaced by the boredom brought by the same performance mode.
Later, in "Zhang Weiguo's Summer", Huang Lei played a middle-aged man again, looking fat with a big belly, and he was still so able to speak.
In this drama, there are actors such as Liu Yijun, Haiqing, Mei Ting, etc., even though Huang Lei used to be Haiqing's teacher, his acting skills were still beaten.
When it comes to Secretary Lu Qingshan played in "County Party Committee Compound", and Mr. Zhang in "No Name", there is still no change, which makes people aesthetically tired when they look at it, and they are becoming more and more like Huang Lei himself.
The reason is that Huang Lei has appeared too many times in variety shows, from "Extreme Challenge" to "Longing for Life", as a resident guest one after another, Huang Lei's true appearance has been well known to everyone, and after the mystery disappears, everything he plays is his own appearance.
Lu Qingshan, who is a fan in "The Courtyard of the County Party Committee", is reminiscent of Huang Xiaochu who is cooking with a spatula in "Longing for Life". And the clever appearance in "Xiaomin's Family" is very similar to the image of the old fox in the extreme three essences in "Extreme Challenge".
Huang Lei gradually turned behind the scenes, which was the right choice for him, even if he still had the opportunity to film, the audience didn't want to watch it.
This also reminds people of what Feng Xiaogang once said, he mentioned that an actor like Sun Honglei is very individual, but because he comes back to act after a variety show, it will have a great impact on the texture of the performance.
And Huang Lei, who has been on the same show as Sun Honglei, also has the same problem, even an actor-level actor like Huang Bo has been affected because of acting again after a variety show.
In addition to reality show variety shows, there are also live broadcasts, which are also a new opportunity for actors who have a certain degree of popularity, but when they focus on these fields, they gradually deviate from the profession of actors, which makes them suffer backlash.
Once these actors try these ways to make quick money, they will inevitably become lazy like Huang Lei, and over time, there will not be so many opportunities to act.
Do you know any other actors like Huang Lei, who gradually have no scenes to shoot because of frequent variety shows and live broadcasts?
