With more than half of the TV series "City in the City" airing, the performance of some actors in the play began to become the focus of discussion among the audience. The audience's different views on performance not only reflect the differences in personal aesthetics, but also touch on some common problems in modern performing arts.
In "City in the City", the role of Shen Jing played by Yang Zishan was considered by some viewers to have an unnatural expression, which affected the audience's viewing experience. This feeling may come from an inadequate understanding of the character or an inappropriate performance style of the actor. On the other hand, it can also be the result of makeup or plot design, but undoubtedly this feedback is a challenge for the actors.
Another actor, Li Ying, plays Tian's mother in the play, and her performance is accused of exaggeration. In some theatrical scenes, exaggerated performances may be required to express drastic changes in mood, but how to grasp this degree is a major test of the actor's skills. Excessive performances may make the audience feel unreal, which can affect the appeal of the plot.
And Zhou Lin, played by Lonnie, was pointed out for Mandarin pronunciation and voice problems. Her character is a southerner, and it is reasonable that her Mandarin pronunciation is not standard, but as a TV series, how to deal with the balance between dialects and Mandarin is also a problem that the production team needs to consider. At the same time, the audience's acceptance of the voice often affects the shaping of the character's image.
Finally, Tian Xiaohui played by Xia Meng, whose character setting and performance style aroused the audience's sympathy and dissatisfaction, which reflected the audience's attention to the plot and the depth of the role.
These controversies lead to a larger topic: how should the performing arts in a TV series balance the expectations of the audience with the artistic pursuits of the actors? Some viewers believe that the actors' performances need to be more realistic and natural, while others appreciate the dramatic effect of exaggerated performances. Different audiences have different needs and expectations for the performing arts, and this difference is also part of cultural diversity.

At the same time, some experts suggest that "actors and directors should listen to the audience and constantly adjust their performance methods to achieve the best audience experience." ”
As a mass cultural product, the success of TV dramas depends not only on the performance of scripts, directors, and actors, but also on an audience group that can accept and appreciate this kind of performance.
