Lao Liang's question "Why did Yang Mi become popular and become a first-line superstar in China?" is estimated to have been heard by many people.
Yang Mi is indeed synonymous with traffic among actresses and even the entire entertainment industry.
She not only became popular herself, but also brought her own film and television company and a group of celebrities to fire;
For example, Di Lieba, Gao Weiguang, and Zhang Yunlong are all "star employees" under her company.
Yang Mi's company produced and her golden signboard has created many popular dramas;
For example, "Three Lives, Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms", "Fuyao" and "Mrs. Huzhu", each of which has bursting ratings, and young people are chasing it hotly.
But the strange thing is that even if the drama is popular, Yang Mi's acting skills are often "picked".
Many people wonder, why is Yang Mi's acting skills always discussed, can he be so popular and sought after by so many fans?
Speaking of which, Yang Mi debuted early, and in the early years, she also played soy sauce in Stephen Chow's movies, and many people know about it.
But after so many years, it seems that her acting skills have not improved significantly, and it means that she is a little standing still.
On April 21 this year, the suspense war drama "Harbin 1944" starring Yang Mi and Qin Hao was launched;
As a result, it attracted a large wave of bad reviews, and many of the criticisms pointed to Yang Mi alone.
This incident has made everyone talk about her acting skills again.
01 "Harbin 1944" was on the air, and Yang Mi caused a bipolar reputation
When the TV series "Harbin 1944" was not broadcast, although there was a powerful director Zhang Li in charge;
However, due to the controversy of the heroine Yang Mi, the audience with reservations occupies the mainstream.
Director Zhang Li's strength should not be underestimated, and as soon as he made a move, he played a "king bomb", making the show a dazzling spy war dark horse on the current screen.
Previously, "Wind Chaser" firmly sat on the throne of spy war drama word-of-mouth with a high score of 7.8;
Now that the popularity of "Harbin 1944" is soaring and the momentum is strong, people can't help but wonder: Does this mean that the spring of spy war drama lovers has come?
The show was jointly broadcast by Dongfang, Beijing, and Jiangsu Satellite TV, and the ratings performance was amazing.
The ratings of the three stations have increased by more than 50%, breaking through the 0.3 mark one after another, and even reaching more than 1.0, and the ratings data have soared all the way, showing strong market appeal.
The success of "Harbin 1944" is not without waves, and the focus of the most attention is the heroine Yang Mi.
Choosing Yang Mi to play the starring role is undoubtedly a chess game where risks and opportunities coexist.
Director Zhang Li's new work this time is full of sincerity, the plot is compact, the suspense is repeated, the characters are plump, and the picture texture is excellent.
He is good at portraying male characters, and the male characters in his previous works such as "The Right Way in the World is the Vicissitudes of Life" and "Ming Dynasty 1566" are all vivid, affectionate and charming.
In this play, the old drama bone Tian Xiaojie's acting skills are steady, and Qin Hao perfectly controls the mysterious role with his unique temperament.
Despite the overall quality of the series, the controversy surrounding the heroine played by Yang Mi continues to rise.
Yang Mi has a "black and red" physique, and every time a new drama is broadcast, he can always become the center of the storm of public opinion;
Both positive and negative comments tend to focus on her personal performance.
Critics pointed out that Yang Mi sometimes used too much force during his performances, leaving obvious traces of his performance, which made some audiences feel uncomfortable.
To sum up, "Harbin 1944" went against the tide in the early days of the broadcast;
With excellent production standards and director Zhang Li's directing skills, it has won wide recognition.
The heroine Yang Mi's performance triggered a polarized reaction from the audience, on the one hand, her high popularity brought extremely high attention to the series;
On the other hand, his performance style has also become the focus of heated discussions, and good and bad evaluations are intertwined, constituting a complex and fascinating social repercussions of this hit drama.
02 Yang Mi's new drama challenges the role of a beautiful spy
In the latest drama, "Guan Xue" played by Yang Mi is a female spy who combines beauty and resourcefulness;
Her appearance is indeed eye-catching, in line with the image of a "beauty", but because of the shape of the shawl;
deviates from the traditional impression of the capable and mysterious female spy, which makes some viewers feel that it is not enough to fit the background of the character and it is difficult to fully immerse themselves in the plot.
However, the focus of the audience is actually Yang Mi's acting skills in the play.
Many viewers reported that Yang Mi's performance seemed a little "too violent".
The character she played was supposed to be a hidden and scheming spy leader, but Yang Mi was expressing the ruthlessness and calmness of the character;
The frequent use of exaggerated expressions such as frowning and staring is too exposed, lacking the quiet restraint and depth, which reduces the authority and mystery of the character.
Especially when the character is in crisis or angry, her body language and facial expressions are too dramatic, and it feels like she is watching an emotional performance rather than a nervous spy operation.
Especially in a scene of confrontation with hostile forces, Yang Mi's image design is not in harmony with the atmosphere of the scene, and the wind-blown hair and delicate makeup make people have an illusion, as if this is not a life-and-death duel, but a shooting scene of a fashion magazine.
When she played the scene, the ruthlessness deliberately emphasized in her tone seemed too deliberate and lacked natural flow, compared to the unknown actor who played against her, it seemed more relaxed and natural.
There is also a scene in the play where "Guan Xue" takes out the bullet by herself, and in this performance, Yang Mi really invested great emotion;
The trembling hands, painful expressions, and the handling of details make people feel the pain of the characters, but too many small actions also distract the audience and weaken the tension of the plot.
In addition, the slap scene sparked widespread discussion on the Internet, which was supposed to be a tense and intense scene;
But because of Yang Mi's performance style and styling problems, it looks a little embarrassing.
Her wavy hairstyle gives a hunched back visual effect, and the slapping action is not crisp and forceful;
Combined with her wide-eyed eyes and not-so-clear line pronunciation, the tension of the whole scene is greatly weakened, leaving the audience more unnatural and incomprehensible.
In view of the high quality of director Zhang Li's previous works and the many powerful actresses he has worked with;
The choice of Yang Mi as the heroine of the new drama this time made many viewers puzzled, thinking that her performance did not match the heroine's style in the director's previous works.
Some voices even said that if another actor with more restrained acting skills, such as Wang Ou, interprets the role of "Guan Xue", the look and feel of the whole drama may be more ideal.
In general, Yang Mi's performance in the play did not meet the expectations of all audiences, which caused a lot of discussion and reflection.
03 Wang Ou set off another boom with the classic role of "Wang Manchun".
Yang Mi's new drama is on the air;
Unexpectedly, Wang Ou accidentally appeared on the hot search because of a classic character "Wang Manchun", which is really unexpected.
The reason behind this is actually quite simple;
That is, the role of "Wang Manchun" created by Wang Ou in 2015's "The Pretender" is too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and is still unforgettable.
Having said that, Wang Ou has been in the entertainment industry for ten years, and it wasn't until the drama "The Pretender" that she really became popular.
The ruthless character Wang Manchun in the play, with his delicate image of red lips and hair in a military uniform;
Coupled with the ruthless performance that can still be calm when you hear the screams of the enemy, people immediately remember this ruthless character.
Wang Ou's glamorous appearance and tall figure are almost as if they were tailor-made for this role;
Every time she appears, you can feel her powerful aura, which makes people dare not look directly.
Wang Manchun is not the kind of "good person" setting, she is completely bad and does all the bad things;
But there is a desperate madness for love, and this complex character becomes vivid and three-dimensional under Wang Ou's interpretation.
She is ruthless at work, but she is tender in front of her lover, these two extremes switch freely, showing Wang Ou's profound acting skills, and also making Wang Manchun a benchmark in the role of a female spy, which is still talked about after many years.
With the role of "Wang Manchun", Wang Ou won the Huading Award for Best Supporting Actress, the success of this role;
even made the performances of actresses such as Yu Feihong, Wen Yongshan, and Tao Xinran, who had also played female spies before, a little inferior.
Now, it has been nearly ten years since "The Pretender" was broadcast, and Wang Ou's popularity again makes people have to sigh that whether the acting skills are good or not really depends on peers to set off.
Just when everyone was hotly discussing Wang Ou's acting skills, the past rights and wrongs between her and Yang Mi were brought up again and became a new focus of public discussion.
This wave of operations is really unexpected!
04 Wang Ou's "Luminous Script" Turmoil: Talking with Hawick Lau's Secret Office
Wang Ou, who has been in the entertainment industry for more than ten years, has never been able to become popular despite his continuous works;
On the contrary, it was the peachy rumors with many male stars that made him famous.
Among them, the most talked about is her and Hawick Lau's "glow-in-the-dark script" incident.
In 2016, Wang Ou and Hawick Lau collaborated on the TV series "The Age of Recklessness", but the drama was not completed, and the love scandal between the two has been rumored.
At that time, Yang Mi had just ended the confrontation with Ying'er, known as "green tea";
I thought I could take a breather, but I didn't expect my "best friend" Wang Ou to stick a knife in the back.
Hawick Lau and Yang Mi, a loving couple recognized in the circle, have a thriving career, have a daughter under their knees, and have a happy family life.
During the filming, the crew did not notice anything unusual between the two;
It wasn't until "China's No. 1 Paparazzi" Zhuo Wei exposed the private tryst between Hawick Lau and Wang Ou that the public was shocked to realize that Hawick Lau's "good man" image collapsed instantly.
During the filming, the two stayed in the same hotel, and the video shows that Wang Ou entered the room first;
Then Hawick Lau, dressed in a gray coat and wearing a black cap, followed closely.
Obviously, the meeting between the two was by no means accidental, but premeditated.
They spent four long hours together in the room until the early hours of the morning, when Hawick Lau quietly left.
What's more, it was found from the photos that Wang Ou was still wearing white clothes and pants before entering the room, and after Hawick Lau entered, it could be seen through the crack in the door that she only had underwear left.
According to the news, the lights in the room were dimmed, and only the bathroom was dimly lit.
Faced with the ambiguous scene of a lonely man and a widow alone for four hours late at night, the discerning people naturally knew what they were doing.
After the incident was exposed, Hawick Lau responded quickly, saying that because he was in a place with a poor signal, he did not pay attention to the network dynamics in time.
He defended that his late-night visits were only to discuss the script, and promised not to go to the opposite sex alone in the evening to study the script.
This explanation not only failed to calm public opinion, but aroused even greater anger among netizens: "Take us for fools?"
"Can't you discuss a script on the set in broad daylight, why break into a single woman's room late at night?"
"Which script requires a couple of men and women to talk secretly for four hours, and the director and screenwriter are not there, what earth-shattering plot can you talk about?"
"As a married person, doesn't Hawick Lau know how to keep an appropriate distance from the opposite sex?"
The incident was like a bombshell detonating the entertainment industry, and Yang Mi instantly became the focus of public opinion, and was even besieged at the airport for four or five hours.
When attending the event, in the face of questions from the media, Yang Mi's eyes showed confusion and fear, although she had mixed feelings in her heart, she still supported Hawick Lau and expressed her belief in his personality.
On the other hand, Wang Ou responded to netizens' questions in a ridiculous tone: "Can you still have a good time?"
Although the two parties insisted that it was just a misunderstanding, not long after, Yang Mi announced his divorce from Hawick Lau, the official reason was "less gathering and more separation", but the truth is well known.
Hawick Lau's so-called "late-night discussion of the script" was ridiculed as a "glow-in-the-dark script" incident because the paparazzi disclosed that the lights in the room were turned off, and since then it has become a big laughing stock in the entertainment industry.
After this incident, the public image of Wang Ou and Hawick Lau was greatly hit.
In a follow-up interview, Wang Ou still put on an innocent victim when talking about the incident, claiming that he was misunderstood, wronged, and even cried on the spot, but this performance did not move netizens and failed to win back the trust and sympathy of the public.
As early as 2012, Wang Ou and insider Zhang Geyin met and fell in love with "Gentle Lies";
At that time, Zhang Ge was still a well-known actor, and he was also a classmate of actor Yuan Shanshan.
This relationship went through a three-year long run, and finally Zhang Ge successfully proposed in the fourth year, and the two even took sweet wedding photos.
On the day of the wedding, Wang Ou was suddenly absent, leaving Zhang Ge alone at the empty wedding scene.
Afterwards, Wang Ou simply explained that the two were not suitable, and he was not ready to become Zhang Ge's wife, so he chose to escape.
Although the two never spoke publicly about the details of the breakup;
But in a show, Yuan Shanshan revealed that it was Wang Ou who proposed to break up, and Zhang Ge tried to redeem it, but failed.
Wang Ou's career then flourished with "Langya Bang" and "The Pretender", although she did not disclose her new relationship, she had scandals with many male stars.
For example, during the collaboration with Pu Bajia in "Forging Knife", she had a close relationship with Pu Bajia, who already had a girlfriend Xu Dongdong;
even posted a video on the Internet of affectionately calling each other "husband", and soon after Pu Bajia broke up with Xu Dongdong, Xu Dongdong publicly accused Wang Ou.
In addition, Wang Ou was also accused of acting too intimately and disrespecting boundaries when he collaborated with married actor Jin Dong in "The Pretender".
Her relationship with Wang Kai, Bao Bell and others also caused speculation for a while, but they were all clarified as friends.
Wang Ou's love life always seems to be accompanied by controversy.
In the variety show, she also seemed too intimate with Wei Daxun's actions, which surprised many viewers.
In recent years, her relationship with Deyun Club cross talk actor He Jiuhua has been exposed, and the two seem to be stable;
even to the point of meeting his parents, but this relationship was eventually suspicious because He Jiuhua was photographed dating another woman;
Let Wang Ou fall into the whirlpool of public opinion again.
At the same time, Wang Ou's name is also associated with the "glow-in-the-dark script" incident many years ago;
This incident affected the marriage between Yang Mi and Hawick Lau, and when Yang Mi and Hawick Lau divorced, Wang Ou's name was mentioned again.
Now, Yang Mi and Hawick Lau each have a new life trajectory, while Wang Ou is still working hard in the entertainment industry;
But in comparison, her star is not as bright as it used to be.
Interestingly, when Yang Mi tried to transform and challenge the role of "female spy";
The audience will still involuntarily compare her with Wang Ou, who has successfully portrayed similar roles;
Although the circumstances of the two in the entertainment industry are very different.
