Preamble:
Does the actress rely on her appearance or her acting skills? What kind of answer does Yang Zi and Lonnie's new drama give in their performances?
In today's fast-paced entertainment industry, what does an actress need to get ahead?
Is it superb acting, or outstanding appearance, or is it indispensable?
Recently, the two new dramas "Cheng Huan Ji" and "City in the City" starring Yang Zi and Lonnie were broadcast at the same time, and the performance of the two actors and the audience's response once again pushed this issue to the forefront of discussion.
The new drama is broadcast, and the appearance competition has become the focus
In April 2024, spring will bloom and everything will recover.
In this season full of vitality, Yang Zi and Lonnie's new drama also arrived as scheduled, bringing a new drama viewing experience to the audience.
Yang Zi's "Chenghuan Ji" is a modern drama focusing on young people's emotions and family relationships.
In the play, she plays the heroine Mai Chenghuan, a working woman who continues to explore and grow in her emotions and career.
partnered with her is Xu Kai, a young student whose popularity has soared in recent years, and the two staged a romantic story from cooperation to love in the play.
and "A City in the City" starring Lonnie focuses on the hustle and bustle of the financial world.
She plays Zhou Lin, an elite woman with high education and high emotional intelligence, who peels off the cocoon in the complex business war, showing the wisdom and charm of modern women.
Playing against her is Yu Hewei, a representative of the acting school, and the chemistry between the two is highly anticipated.
Although the themes of the two dramas are very different, they have both received great attention from the audience.
However, unexpectedly, the focus of the discussion was not the plot, but the appearance of the two heroines.
For a while, the appearance of Yang Zi and Lonnie became a hot topic of discussion among the audience after dinner.
Song Dandan became a prophecy, and Yang Zi's appearance was constantly controversial
In fact, the impact of appearance on an actress's career is not a new topic.
The famous actor Song Dandan once bluntly said that the appearance of actresses determines their development space to a large extent.
This point of view has been vividly reflected in Yang Zi.
As early as 2010, Yang Zi, who was still a young girl at the time, was questioned because of her appearance.
At that time, her father had asked Song Dandan for advice, hoping to get the guidance and advice of his seniors.
However, Song Dandan's answer made Yang Zi feel extremely frustrated - in her opinion, Yang Zi's appearance is not suitable for being an actor.
This sentence undoubtedly caused a huge trauma to Yang Zi's sensitive heart.
Although she did not give up her acting dream because of this, the shadow of her inconspicuous appearance has accompanied her throughout her career.
Today, Yang Zi, who has become a well-known actor, is still difficult to get rid of the shackles of appearance.
In "The Story of Cheng Huan", her "sister and brother love" character design with Xu Kai has been criticized a lot.
The audience complained that Yang Zi and Xu Kai, who was 3 years younger, were in the same frame, and there was always a sense of disobedience, not like a pair of lovers at all, but like sisters and brothers.
What's more, even He Saifei, who played with Yang Zi, was also compared.
Some viewers bluntly said that Yang Zi was too "artificial beauty" in front of He Saifei.
Her flawless makeup, in front of He Saifei's face of the vicissitudes of time, is a little out of place, making people feel unreal.
The road to counterattack was bumpy, and "Xiangmi" became Yang Zi's turning point
Looking back on Yang Zi's acting career, it can be found that although she has overcome obstacles all the way, the problem of appearance has always been like a spell, which will jump out from time to time and stir her mind.
In 2016, Yang Zi ushered in the first peak of her career.
Her starring role in "Ode to Joy" was a great success, allowing the audience to see a gradually maturing Yang Zi.
However, "Qingyunzhi", which was broadcast almost at the same time, made her image plummet.
In the play, Lu Xueqi, who she played, was directly complained by Wang Sicong and others because of her modeling and makeup problems, which once again pushed her to the forefront of public opinion.
During that time, Yang Zi's heart must have experienced great struggle and suffering.
Fortunately, she was not knocked down by difficulties, but used her strength to complete a gorgeous counterattack.
In 2018, Yang Zi starred in "Fragrant Honey Sinks Like Frost", which became a turning point in her career.
In this drama, she not only brought her acting skills to the extreme, but also completely rewrote the label of "good looks" with exquisite makeup and costumes.
The success of "Xiangmi" opened a new door for Yang Zi, and she finally got rid of the troubles of the past and became a veritable "queen of ratings".
Lonnie was praised for her good looks, and "Hurricane" and "City in the City" were both harvested
is different from Yang Zi's ups and downs, Lonnie's acting career can be described as smooth sailing.
In 2023, with her wonderful performance in "Hurricane", she will become a hot new star overnight.
In the play, Lonnie plays Gao Qiqiang's sister Gao Qilan, a female doctor with a noble temperament, beauty and generosity.
Although she doesn't have many scenes, every time she appears, she successfully attracts the audience's attention.
Especially when she put on glasses and showed off her intellectual and elegant image, she was even more amazed by the audience and made countless netizens fall in love with it.
What complements Lonnie's good looks is her excellent acting skills.
She portrayed the two completely different images of Gao Qilan before and after, showing a flesh-and-blood, three-dimensional and moving screen image.
After a year, Lonnie made persistent efforts and starred in another realistic masterpiece "City within a City".
This time, she plays Zhou Lin, a workplace elite who combines beauty and wisdom.
Whether it is a simple and atmospheric outfit or a calm and confident aura, it perfectly matches her appearance and temperament, which is eye-catching.
What's even more surprising is that the rivalry between Lonnie and Yu Hewei unexpectedly sparked.
Between them, there is not only tacit cooperation, but also evenly matched competition, which makes the audience addicted.
And all of this stems from Lonnie's outstanding appearance and maturing acting skills.
The entertainment industry is on par with diverse aesthetics, and acting is the hard currency
Looking at what happened to Yang Zi and Lonnie, it is not difficult for us to find that in the big dye vat of the entertainment industry, the appearance of actresses is still an unavoidable topic.
Handsome men and beautiful women are always more likely to be favored by the audience, while those actors who are slightly inferior in appearance need to put in more effort to be recognized.
But at the same time, we should also see that with the progress of the times, the aesthetic standards of the entertainment industry are quietly changing.
Different from the past, today's audience is no longer satisfied with a single image of "white and thin beauty", but has begun to appreciate a variety of beauty.
Whether it is Yang Zi's youth and agility, or Lonnie's intellectual elegance, they all bloom with unique charm on the screen.
They interpret the beauty of different types of women in their own way, bringing a more diversified aesthetic experience to the audience.
And in the end, what determines their success or failure is the most critical factor - acting skills.
Looking at the development process of Yang Zi and Lonnie, we can clearly see that whenever they encounter a bottleneck in their careers, they finally break through the encirclement and win the affirmation of the audience with their superb acting skills.
Epilogue:
Actresses, do they rely on their appearance or acting skills? There may never be a standard answer to this question.
But through the experiences of Yang Zi and Lonnie, we seem to be able to get a glimpse of some clues.
Beauty is a kind of capital, but it is not the only way to success.
Only when the exterior and the inside complement each other can you finally win the hearts of the audience.
And on this road, acting skills will always be the most stable cornerstone.
Yang Zi used perseverance and tenacity to create a miracle of "appearance counterattack"; With talent and hard work, Lonnie has completed a gorgeous transformation from a newcomer to a youth idol.
They used their own way to interpret the various possibilities of actresses, and also lit a beacon for countless girls with dreams.
In this glamorous entertainment industry, perhaps, we must learn to appreciate each unique beauty with a more inclusive eye.
Because, those dazzling lights never have only one form.
And for all girls who have the dream of being an actor, the most important thing is to always be firm in their original intention, use their acting skills to conquer the audience, and prove themselves with their works.
As long as you work hard, you will eventually find your own place in this star-studded sky.
