Eight years ago's "glow-in-the-dark script", eight years later's "beautiful spy", Yang Mi vs. Wang Ou, who is the final winner?
Since entering 2024, the film and television field has even surprised everyone, the spy war film "Wind Chaser" has just ushered in the finale, and "Harbin 1944" starring Yang Mi and Qin Hao has come strongly, setting off a viewing boom again, and Yang Mi's acting skills are frequently on the hot search, but what is surprising is that the evaluation is full of scolding and complaining.
Many viewers think that Yang Mi's acting skills are not up to standard, and if this role is replaced by Wang Ou, it will definitely be very outstanding. In addition to Wang Ou, netizens also nominated several other actresses, who were praised by everyone. So, who also plays the role of a "female spy", what is the difference between Yang Mi and Wang Ou? What other "female spies" have been recognized by the audience?
1. Excessive force, acting skills are ridiculed
Spy war films are an indispensable part of the Chinese film and television field, and from the past to the present, there have been many excellent spy war film and television works.
This year's "Wind Chaser" gave everyone a bright feeling, so for the new drama "Harbin 1944", the audience is also full of expectations, many people are going to watch Yang Mi's first spy war film, but in the end they were disappointed and abandoned the drama one after another, why is this?
Judging from the actor configuration alone, the strength of this drama should not be underestimated, the actor is Qin Hao, a powerful actor who became popular because of "The Hidden Corner", and the supporting roles are all actors who have come out of the circle by their strength in recent years, but so many people have not been able to hold Yang Mi, who has used too much force, which has aroused ridicule on the whole network.
Yang Mi plays the beautiful spy "Guan Xue" in the play, her appearance is absolutely worthy of the word "beauty", but it has nothing to do with "spy", in everyone's impression, most of the female spies have curly hair and coiled hair, and rarely wear their hair loose like Yang Mi, which is very exquisite, but it also makes it difficult for the audience to enter the play.
Styling aside, after all, in a TV series, there must be multiple styling, and everyone can't hold on to one styling, and what netizens pay the most attention to is not her styling, but her acting skills.
The audience who has watched Yang Mi's performance in the play has only one feeling: she is too violent! She plays a spy leader, ruthless, and she must be silent at all times, but Yang Mi is either frowning, or staring, her face is hideous, and her joy and anger are all shown on her face.
When "Guan Xue" was angry because of the failure of the mission, his brows were furrowed, his mouth was crooked, his arms were shaken, and his emotions were too outgoing, so that everyone could not see that this was actually a high-ranking spy leader.
In the confrontation scene with the Japanese, her delicate face and wind-blown hair make it difficult for everyone to see whether this is a critical confrontation scene or a shooting scene for a fashion blockbuster.
When Yang Mi spoke, there was a deliberate ruthlessness, as if he was gritting his teeth every minute, the performance traces were too heavy, and he was not even in a relaxed state of the unknown actor opposite.
The scene of "Guan Xue" taking bullets with his bare hands is even more impressive, this role is ruthless to others and ruthless enough to himself, Yang Mi contributed his best acting skills to this highlight moment.
The trembling hands and the green tendons on the neck due to the pain made everyone feel her pain, but it was precisely because of too many small movements that everyone was a little dramatic.
There is also the slapping scene that sparked a discussion on the Internet, because her subordinates rashly reported, she pulled the other party aside and slapped a few times, the atmosphere was very tense, but the big wavy hairstyle made her look a little hunchbacked, and a few slaps were not ruthless enough, plus her wide eyes, the lines that people couldn't hear clearly, only full of embarrassment remained.
Director Zhang Li has many classic film and television works, Liu Bei, Ma Yili, Song Jia, Li Bingbing and many other powerful actresses have served as the heroine in his works, but now his new drama has chosen Yang Mi as the heroine, which really makes everyone feel incomprehensible.
Everyone was disappointed with Yang Mi's performance in the play, and many netizens said: If Wang Ou plays "Guan Xue", this drama will be perfect.
Second, Wang Manchun in the past, the classics will be passed on forever
Yang Mi's new drama is on the air, but Wang Ou is on the hot search, this way of getting out of the circle is too peculiar, but it also proves how classic and unforgettable the "Wang Manchun" she once played in "The Pretender".
In 2015, "The Pretender" was broadcast nationwide, and the female villain "Wang Manchun" played by Wang Ou was ruthless and inhumane, a typical representative of femme fatale, revealing a palpitating ruthlessness from the first appearance.
Wang Manchun's makeup is also a classic, with coiled hair, red lips, military uniform, and two words "exquisite" from hair to heels. When she sat in the torture room and listened to the screams of the traitors, her facial expressions were very natural and leisurely, as if she took the screams as her own lullaby, a ruthless character who disregarded life instantly stood up.
Wang Ou is beautiful and tall, which is very consistent with this role, and every time she comes with a group of people, she makes people feel that her aura is very powerful, and she doesn't dare to look at her more.
This character is not a good person in the traditional sense, she is bad, kills people and arsons, does all kinds of evil, and is ruthless, but she loves freely and passionately, desperate.
When working, she doesn't have many facial expressions, showing her non-anger and self-authority to the fullest, but when facing her lover, she is always smiling, extremely shy, the two states of the characters are at two extremes, but Wang Ou's transformation is very natural.
The great sense of contrast brings a different charm to the character, and Wang Ou's interpretation injects soul into this role, which can be called the ceiling of female spies, which makes everyone unforgettable for so many years.
In addition to Wang Ou, netizens also nominated other actresses who impressed everyone with their roles as "female spies", so who are they?
3. Nominate "female spies" in the comment area
In July 2023, the spy war film "Stalker" will premiere nationwide, and the female spy "Su Yalu" played by Wan Qian in the play has left a deep impression on everyone, her facial expression is not exaggerated, and a single pair of eyes makes people shudder.
In the TV series "Rouge", Tao Xinran played "Feng Manna" was innocent and cute in the early days, and she was ruthless after blackening, both states were perfectly digested by her, although she is not tall, but her aura is very powerful, especially in the scene of smoking in the play, she is ruthless and ignores everything to the fullest.
In addition to Wan Qian and Tao Xinran, many netizens mentioned Song Jia, who once starred in the spy war drama "Cliff", and it was this drama that allowed her to defeat Sun Li who starred in "The Legend of Zhen Huan" and became the Magnolia TV queen in 2012.

Having said that, if another actress were to play the lead role in this drama, would it still cause so much heat? Maybe not, this drama is still in the update stage, maybe it will bring us surprises later
So, will you watch this TV series, and what do you think of Yang Mi's performance in the play?
