How many of you here are addicted to skits and can't help themselves?
I have to say that the current short drama is really popular, not only in China, but also in the world.
In Japan, the Chinese short drama market is nearly 1 trillion yen, and in the United States, the response has been impressive.
In such a situation, many celebrities have also "gone to the sea".
Yang Rong starred in "Twenty-Nine", which was an earlier attempt, and later there were actors Sui He in "Fragrant Honey Sinks Like Frost", as well as "Rocket Girl 101" Xu Mengjie and so on.
However, in view of the current mixed market for short dramas, there are a large number of bloody scripts and crudely produced works, and the high click rate is often accompanied by controversial voices.
However, there is one exception.
It was precisely in this "field" that she found the opportunity to shine.
"Starts with beauty and is loyal to acting skills", she is the "first sister of short dramas" elected by the people——
Li Muchen
Short plays are divided into vertical and horizontal versions, both shoddy and conscientious, and the finished "Writing" obviously belongs to the latter.
In the play, Li Muchen, as the first woman, has won the popularity of a large number of fans.
There's no way, who let her play Su Yunqi perfectly step on the audience's aesthetics.
This beauty is not limited to facial features, but also refers to IQ and other internal aspects.
Su Yunqi, from a noble background, is the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
She is a ruthless person, not only cruel to others, but even more ruthless to herself.
When she learns that she is the vicious female partner in the novel "Book of Destiny", not only will her mother die in the fire, but the position of princess that belongs to her will also be transferred to her sister Su Luoluo, because her sister is the chosen daughter;
But she didn't accept her fate.
"My life is up to me, not to God!"
Su Yunqi vowed to change his life against the sky.
For this reason, she planned step by step, dived into the fire alone, and carried her mother out.
She lured the prince to the bait and staged all kinds of temptations.
The most amazing thing is that she guesses a man's heart and knows how to grasp it.
So, I saw Su Yunqi wearing a red gauze skirt and falling on the stage, pretending to be trapped in the Qinglou, waiting for the prince to come to the rescue.
In order to make him feel guilty about himself to the extreme, she also used drugs to charm a fat pig, pretending to lose her innocence because of the prince's unfavorable rescue.
How miserable Su Yunqi's appearance is, how much the prince loves her.
At this moment, Su Yunqi was full of joy, after all, she was one step closer to the success of the plan......
Su Yunqi's sober and independent hostess is very pleasing, and it is precisely because of Li Muchen's natural interpretation that the audience does not dance and devotes themselves to the story.
"Holding the Pen" has achieved high clicks and high reputation, but this is not a short drama that makes Li Muchen successful.
Her real work out of the circle is "Provocation" broadcast last year.
In it, she is more sultry and black-bellied than Su Yunqi in "Writing", and she is also a smart, brave and resourceful woman.
At the beginning, the factory director glanced at her and entered the pit of the Republic of China.
She is wearing a dark cheongsam, full of retro feeling, every frame is very tasteful, and it is highly suitable for the character of "The Daughter of the Refugee Country".
When laughing, innocence is like a little white rabbit.
Once he faced the enemy, he hid a knife in his smile, and he was so cold that people trembled.
Then, she and the male protagonist are too CP.
Let's just say that the eyes are drawn, the wheezing chest is undulating, and the friction of intimate contact is extremely pulling, which makes people embarrassed to watch the roar and roar in public!
What's worse is that these two people are still in the relationship between stepmother and son.
Yes, she did everything possible to get close to the male protagonist in the early stage, win his attention, and become his dance partner, not to marry him, but to marry his father.
I saw that at the dance, her eyes always fell on the male protagonist's father.
As she passed, she deliberately rubbed the other person's shoulder.
In the narrow hallway, she deliberately let the shawl slip off and hook the other party's watch.
The male protagonist's father realized it later, and followed the line of the shawl falling off to the dressing room in the background.
After a few words of conversation between the two, she pretended to be weak and had low blood sugar.
In order to arouse the man's pity and cherish the jade, help her peel the candy packaging.
Of course, the action of catching candy is also full of caution.
She deliberately touched the other party's fingertips with her fingers, to tell the truth, who wouldn't be itchy this time?!
Even the male protagonist himself complained-
I thought it was me who she was going to hook, but I didn't expect it to be my father.
emmmm's words have a sour taste.
However, she is not a vulgar woman who is greedy for money in the eyes of the male protagonist, but a hot-blooded woman who avenges her parents.
Love, status, fame, wealth are not important to her.
The male protagonist is also a tool in her hands, a part of the plan, she has a clear goal, a firm mind, and unswervingly goes down a road.
I can feel that most of the short dramas cater to the audience's G-spot, and they are committed to shooting various sassy plots.
Therefore, the role of the actor in it is crucial.
It is necessary not only to have a high appearance and attract the audience at a glance, but also to impress the audience with acting skills in a short time, so the director has always felt that high-quality short dramas are actually more difficult than traditional film and television works.
This also shows Li Muchen's strength as an actor.
Looking back on Li Muchen's acting career, she is not a newcomer who exploded with a work as soon as she debuted.
Before acting in short dramas, in 2014, she entered the industry by shooting commercials, worked as a model, and later starred in many well-known film and television dramas.
She is Yang Zi's best friend Xiao Shan in "The Rest of Your Life, Please Advise Me".
She is Tang Rou, the female e-sports master in "Full-time Master".
Although she has never been the female number one, there are several outstanding roles, and the attention is quite high.
For example, in "Ghost Blowing the Lantern: The Yellow Skin Grave", Li Muchen plays the role of Yanzi, the daughter of the Orion family, where the male protagonist lived when he cut the queue in Daxinganling.
In the play, she always wears two braids, wears a floral cotton jacket, and her two faces are frozen red, which looks quite cute.
The last drama is home;
The next drama is beautiful at home.
There is the villain Shen Yindeng in "Sito" in the past.
She's damn it, but she's so pretty!
Her eyes are very magical, and if she wants to be ruthless, she will be scary, but Chu Chu is pitiful and people can't help but feel pity.
It's beautiful, it's poisonous, it's so sensitive!
At that time, everyone who saw it said that she looked like this, and it was reasonable for Sito to be jealous.
However, the factory director still thinks that Ge Zhaodi in "Menghualu" is more amazing.
I was attracted to her the moment she appeared, frank and righteous, able to fight, strong and less to eat, she was cute to death.
In the play, her image is varied, from a little beggar to a man's wear, a little maid, and the "Tang Feng Lady Dress" at the Flower Moon Banquet, Li Muchen can control them all.
Seeing this, you may wonder, Li Muchen has a lot of resources and works, why did he go to shoot a short drama later?
To some extent "resource downgrade"?
In fact, from a long drama to a short drama, Li Muchen has thought it through.
Li Muchen in reality, like the heroine in "Writing", found out in time that the "script" he took was not very good.
In the past 10 years, Li Muchen has crossed over from a model to an actor, although he has accumulated some works, he has always been in a tepid position.
没演过女一，所拿的皆是小配角。
At first, Li Muchen didn't think there was anything wrong with this, thinking that if he accumulated slowly, there would always be gains.
Who knows, a few years of YQ has changed the market in the entire circle.
Once a popular role, there will be a succession of scripts that will take the initiative to come to the door, and after "Sito" and "Menghualu", Li Muchen is in a state of "unemployment" and has not filmed for several months.
"Every day at home, I 'pick my feet' and ask my broker if there are any projects in the market. At that time, there were two situations, one was that I was not suitable for some projects, and the other was that there were suitable projects and I didn't try to play...... I think it's so difficult to get a job opportunity!" (Interview source @ Entertainment Studio, the same below)
In this predicament, she received the script of "Provocation".
Because the short drama belonged to a new track at that time, the producer had no requirements for the actor's coffee position, coupled with Li Muchen's resume, so he had more say than in the long drama.
Compared with the previous time when it took a week to wait for the announcement of the finalization, it only took 3 days for the short play to be finalized by her to play the heroine.
Moreover, due to the length factor, the short drama has a fast rhythm and a more eye-catching character, which makes Li Muchen want to try it.
With such a try, Li Muchen has come to this day.
For the outside world, short dramas have always been labeled as "rotten", Li Muchen said frankly, "Short dramas are very good, there is no need to have a chain of contempt".
She said that high-quality short dramas, both in terms of filming and production, are comparable to the preparation of long-form dramas.
As an actor, she has to face continuous and high-intensity shooting, as well as the ability to quickly enter the role and change her emotions quickly.
Li Muchen is proud of his achievements in short dramas from the bottom of his heart.
"I'm quite happy and proud of myself to be able to do a good job in the skit track now. It was one of the best choices my agent and I have made in the past few years, and I finally found a stage where I could show myself. ”
However, now she plans to slow down, because the current skit script is seriously homogeneous, and the story and character are the same.
At a time when there is a great degree of casting freedom, she wants to wait for more exciting and worthy roles.
To tell the truth, the more I know Li Muchen, the more the factory director likes her.
Dare to work hard, the core is firm, knows how to examine the market, understands regression, and she takes every step very steadily.
She has a clear understanding of herself and a clear plan for the future.
"It's like screwing. It can't be said that if you screw well, you will get a higher salary. Our industry is a completely ToC industry, and the content, theme, genre and acting skills of the actors of the dramas add up to serve the audience. There are many reasons why the audience likes you or not, and it will not be because you are very beautiful, especially good at being a person, or have a good personality and good acting skills, the audience will like you. The audience's liking is a kind of chemical reaction that mixes a lot, and it's not easy to evaluate, and I've been looking for a breakthrough to be recognized by everyone. ”
Finally, I wish Li Muchen's stage is getting bigger and bigger and becoming the actress she wants to be!
