Recently, "City in the City" stood out like a dark horse, occupying the leading position with an astonishing rating of 3%.
Even "The Legend of Chenghuan" starring Yang Zi and Xu Kai had to bow down.
The play takes finance as the core of modern society, and digs deep into the bonds of family, the support of friends, and the delicate balance between dreams and reality under the huge temptation of money.
Just when everything seems to be calm and normal at work, the new leader shines on the scene, with his mysterious aura and management style that does not follow the routine.
At this time, Zhao Hui (played by Yu Hewei) was finally pushed to the moral judgment seat.
Should you stick to your principles, or should you go with the flow?
In addition, he must summon all his ingenuity to see through the traps hidden under the ornate cloak, the most intractable of which are
It is Xie Zhiyuan's skillfully woven beauty plan.
Despite this, everyone has mixed opinions on the role of "beauty" thrown by Xie Zhiyuan, and some praise her for being comparable to the goddess under the moon.
But most people think that she is not glamorous and lamentable, and she is not suitable for the setting of the characters in the play.
As we all know, when there are female characters on the screen in the name of "seduction", they rarely win the favor of the audience.
However, behind this is a silent test of the actor's appearance and acting skills.
If these two key actor elements are missing, it will be difficult to vividly show the image of the character and the overall presentation effect.
Take Chu Zhijuan in the TV series "If Running Is My Life" as an example, she is the lover of the heroine's husband, played by Wang Ning.
Although the outside world was skeptical about the choice of this role, Wang Ning smiled with her challenging eyes and the joy of victory.
and quiet acting skills, which successfully shaped the character's characteristics.
However, I have to say that although she poses like a mistress, her appearance makes it a little difficult to devote herself to it.
After all, in this mistress competition, you have to have that kind of charm that makes people feel good at first sight, and she seems to be more than a little bit worse.
In contrast, the next few actors undoubtedly interpreted the role of "beauty" more perfectly.
For example, in the story line of "Ordinary Road", the character Cai Xiaolei played by Wang Xiuzhu is not only the heroine's best friend.
It is even more of a tragic figure.
The unknown relationship between her and the heroine's father has become one of the highlights of the whole show.
The voluminous curls glow golden in the sun, and the red lips are like blooming roses, exuding irresistible charm.
Dressed in a tight skirt, every gesture seems to tell the beauty of women, which perfectly meets the world's expectations for the role of mistress.
Looking at Zhang Yue again, when she played "Lin Youyou" in "Thirty Only", her acting skills can be described as "Youyou".
Especially the scene with Gu Jia, like two torrents colliding, stirred up ripples in the hearts of countless audiences, and became the center of the storm in 2020.
At that time, Lin Youyou had a clear stream that could be called the "tea world", with her charming acting skills on the screen and the style of "real tea is really done".
insisted on pushing himself to the throne of the master of "tea art".
It is both interesting and refreshing, and even made a large number of female viewers crazy, and they have expressed that they want to "learn" from her how to become the focus of the audience while drinking tea.
and Li Caihua's wonderful performance in "The Temptation of Going Home" has become an indelible memory in the hearts of countless audiences.
Although time flies, 12 years have passed.
But the lingering love triangle between Hong Shixian, Lin Pinru and Ellie is still vivid, as if it had just been staged.
Lee Chae-hwa incarnates Ellie, interpreting the role of mistress in a perfect form, as if there is only a thin line between her and the main room.
not only competes for Hong Shixian's heart, but also competes to see who can please Hong's mother more.
In the end, Ellie, with her charisma, otherworldly sultry skills, managed to steal Hong Se-hyun's heart and win the love game.
Such a lover role, for men, can be called a critical hit.
Looking back at "A City in the City", according to the plot setting, Xie Zhiyuan laid a well-designed net.
He found Zhou Lin, a woman with a heart-warming face that strikingly resembled Zhao Hui's lost love and Su Jianren's dream of Li Ying.
Therefore, Zhou Lin was regarded as the key to achieving his goal, and planned to use her to manipulate the emotions of Zhao Hui and Su Jianren, making them pawns in his hands.
In the play, the two roles of Li Ying and Zhou Lin are played by the same actor, Lonnie.
However, the face of this character she carefully constructed has a strong sense of aging, the skin is no longer as tight as it was young, and there is a heaviness of life in the sagging.
So much so that many netizens didn't buy the "beauty" role thrown by Xie Zhiyuan at all.
Deep nasolabial folds and uneven textures resemble a complex topographic map, even with layers of makeup.
It is also difficult to hide the traces of those weather.
The whole appearance from beginning to end reveals the appearance and appearance of a forty-year-old middle-aged man, as if every fine line contains a story of the past.
In addition, from time to time, a trace of tension would pass over her face, and her lips trembled slightly, as if she was bound by an invisible force.
Despite trying to put his heart into words.
However, the words that were supposed to be as light as the wind were crushed by some indescribable weight and could not be conveyed clearly.
In the final analysis, the expression is too stiff, resulting in unclear pronunciation of the lines.
Especially in the film and television dramas produced by CCTV, the picture quality will be marked very clearly.
So much so that under the relentless gaze of the camera, her face becomes an untouched canvas, and the little secrets hidden in the light and shadow—the tiny closed mouth on her forehead, the pimples on her chin, and the stubborn blackheads on her nose, are ruthlessly revealed.
Coupled with the neat row of dentures, all of them inadvertently showed a sense of disobedience.
Aside from this appearance, she doesn't seem to have captured the indescribable temperament that characterizes the seduction of those legendary lovers.
The mysterious power that can easily seduce and captivate people seems to her to be a closed book, its dusty cover has not yet been revealed.
For example, under Xie Zhiyuan's divine operation, she was parachuted to Su Jianren's side.
After laying a series of love traps, Su Jianren fell into the "love trap" like a bear child who only revolves around honey.
It's still the kind that is voluntary and smiling.
However, Lonnie's performance is really a little unsatisfactory, her movements are stiff, and her eyes wander around, as if looking for an exit from this embarrassment.
She grinned, but it was more like she was rehearsing a silent comedy, and the whole process was seriously lacking in charm.
As the plot progressed, Zhou Lin began to change targets and get closer to Zhao Hui.
For example, in that small elevator space, there was a small episode that made people cry and laugh, and she deliberately let the orange in her hand fall.
I hope to be able to use this to attract Zhao Hui's attention.
However, the result of this act is unexpectedly comical, as if it were a well-choreographed comedy.
Zhao Hui didn't seem to realize her existence, and got out of the elevator directly.
Looking at Zhao Lin again, he looked at the elevator door that Zhao Hui walked out in a daze, and then stretched his neck impatiently, his eyes wide open.
As a result, the facial features are distorted due to excessive concentration.
Later, Zhou Lin went to see Zhao Hui's daughter at home, and before leaving, she couldn't wear shoes because she was holding something in her hand, so Zhao Hui helped.
Lonnie, on the other hand, stood aside, the corners of her mouth could not help but rise, and her smile was full of deception, as if to say, "Look, I knew you were going to need help!"
But such a performance will only feel too contrived and stupid, and lack the attraction of "seduction".
Therefore, Lonnie in the play lacks both appearance and fails to show the charm she deserves, which makes her beauty in the play particularly out of place.
In role-playing, creating the image of a "mistress" is a great opportunity for performers to test their acting skills.
This requires the actor not only to dig deep into the inner world of the character, but also to reach a convincing state in the delicate expression of emotions and the portrayal of complex psychology.
But if the actor doesn't match the role he plays, then it will only be embarrassing.
Imagine an actress being stuffed into a character that doesn't fit in with her, and the scene is like a cat wearing a hat.
It's cute, but it's awkward to look at.
She tried to seduce the audience, but it seemed that she was trying to perform a burlesque, and everyone laughed, who remembered that she was going to play a big beauty?
In addition, in this era of looking at faces, even if there is a face that makes people fall in love at first sight and a figure that makes people envious, jealous and hateful.
The actor also has to show an elusive temperament.
And this temperament is the perfect combination of sexy and cunning, which can make the character jump out of the flat screen and become three-dimensional and vivid.
The audience will go crazy and get intoxicated by it, as if that character is really living in their world.
So the question is, will Lonnie's performance in "City within a City" impress you this time?
