Mainland audiences like silly and sweet actresses, so many mainland audiences often sigh when watching TVB dramas: Why do sweet girls like Tang Ning, Wen Songxian, He Meitian, and Li Qihong always play supporting roles?
There are also many viewers who will question the appearance of the protagonists in the play: they think Charmaine Sheh is like a donkey, Zhong Jiaxin is five big and three thick, and Chen Huishan is mediocre, and they are curious why TVB likes to praise them.
Let's not say that Hong Kong people don't love naïve and sweet baby faces, but prefer strong female faces with strong aura and tough facial features, as long as you have carefully watched a few classic Hong Kong dramas, you will find that these maid faces and big heroine faces act, and their aura and temperament are really not at the same level.
1: Wen Songxian
Wen Songxian, who was born in 1976, many people think that she is a high-profile version of Wang Ziwen, and they think that it is a pity that she is not praised in TVB. But I have watched a lot of Wen Songxian's TV series, she is often robbed of the scene by supporting roles as the protagonist, and when the supporting roles are in front of those actors with big heroine faces, her aura is killed in seconds, and she can only be a match at first glance.
Wen Songxian is only 1.63 meters tall, which is really short in TVB, where tall girls gather, first of all, she lost to those 1.7 meter actresses in terms of height. Wen Songxian was an actress on ATV at the beginning, and only switched from ATV to TVB in 2000, and her acting in TVB was not outstanding.
In the TV series "The Four Talents in Golden Suits", she plays Zhu Xiaolian, Zhu Zhishan's sister, and she is quite beautiful when she looks at it. But compared with Guan Yonghe, who plays the double role, her aura and acting skills are too bad, Guan Yonghe can calm the scene as soon as she comes out, and she is the heroine at first glance.
Even Chen Songling, Weng Hong, and Xiang Hailan in the play have a leading role than her, and even Kang Hua, who has always been able to play a woman in the dust, is stronger than her aura as soon as it comes out in this play.
"Splendid Relationship" is her first heroine, but she completely relies on group portraits to support the whole drama, and the Dunzhu she plays looks too thin to be able to hold the scene.
On the contrary, Kwong Wenxun, who was still playing tricks back then, made people see the aura of the heroine as soon as she appeared, but unfortunately this actress retired from the circle early, she was like Charmaine Sheh and like Ye Xuan.
Another TV series "The Son of Heaven Seeks the Dragon", in which she played Yang Yuhuan, but she really couldn't support the round and jade Yang Guifei in history. Many people say that Xiang Hailan's Yang Yuhuan is ugly, but Xiang Hailan has the aura of a great beauty when she stands there, and she can control the play.
In "The Son of Heaven Seeking the Dragon", Murong Xue played by Yang Yi also stole the limelight from Wen Songxian, when I watched the drama back then, I felt that Yang Yi had the style of the previous TVB big flower, she was tall and full of acting tension, and sure enough, she became the first sister of TVB in the end.
Wen Songxian and her good friend Charmaine Sheh have cooperated three times, but they lost to Charmaine Sheh almost every time. In the TV series "Seven Sisters", Charmaine Sheh has only been acting for 4 years at this time, but she stands with Wen Songxian, who has been acting for more than ten years, and she is actually more able to calm the scene.
"Imperial Flower" and "Amazing Shot" are two costume dramas, although Wen Songxian's appearance is indeed quite amazing, Charmaine Sheh's appearance is not as beautiful as her. But as soon as the two of them came out, they could clearly feel that Charmaine Sheh was the heroine and Wen Songxian was the female supporting actress, and the difference between the big heroine's face and the maid's face was obvious.
is the same in the TV series "Negotiator", this drama is actually TVB praises Wen Songxian, although she is the second female lead, she has a lot of scenes. But as soon as Guo Keying came out, that aura, figure, and acting skills immediately compared Wen Songxian to a little sister.
It's the same with "Fire Ambition 2", Wen Songxian's baby-faced small body has no momentum and no heroine in a workplace drama at all, as soon as Zhang Keyi comes out, the audience knows that she is the heroine, and even Meng Jiahui feels more like a big heroine than Wen Songxian.
Therefore, Wen Songxian couldn't get ahead in the end of TVB, it's not that TVB doesn't praise her, she is short and weak, her acting skills are average, and she can't support TVB's big heroines at all.
2: Tang Ying
Tang Ning, like Wen Songxian, will always act with a baby face that doesn't look mature enough, this kind of face can really only play a sister or a maid in TVB.
It's hard to imagine that Tang Ning can play the role of a strong woman with an aura of two meters eight, and it is difficult for actors like Lin Baoyi and Ouyang Zhenhua to have a sense of CP, unlike couples like brothers and sisters. Acting with those big flowers with powerful aura, Tang Ning is often compared to having no sense of existence.
In the TV series "Negotiator", she and Wen Songxian play sisters, and their aura is weaker than Wen Songxian, so they can only sell cute and cute pretending to be innocent, and they really look like children in front of Guo Keying.
In the TV series "Jackie Chan", she is also one of the heroines in the early stage, but she can't catch the play of the male protagonist Guo Jinan at all, the biggest attraction of this drama is Xuan Xuan in addition to Guo Jinan. Xuan Xuan's appearance and acting temperament are very atmospheric, and at first glance she is a typical TVB heroine's face.
Although Miss Hong Kong champion Guo Xianni is not popular in TVB, she and Tang Ning have collaborated on two dramas, one "The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl" and one "The End of the World". The two dramas obviously show that Guo Xianni is the fairy and the heroine, although Tang Ning's role is pleasing, but she can't hold up at all to play the weaver girl and the heroine in the workplace.
Among the 3 TVB heroines of "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty", Tang Ning's aura is also the weakest, she does not have Yang Yi's dignified and elegant costumes, and she can't play a role like Hu Dingxin, who is both good and evil. She and Hu Dingxin were red and white roses in the play, and they were almost overturned by Hu Dingxin for a supporting role back then.
In the TV series "Orchid Robbery", although Su Yuhua and Tian Ruini are already old, and Tang Ning is at the peak of his appearance, the most eye-catching in this drama are Su Yuhua and Tian Ruini, the roles of the two of them are complex and difficult, and Tang Ning's baby face can't be played at all.
Therefore, Tang Ning can't become a first-line in TVB in the end, it's not a problem of bad resources, or her acting skills and appearance limit her acting path, so she can't play the elite in the workplace, and her acting skills are not enough to play the evil girl.
3: Li Qihong
As the third runner-up of Miss Hong Kong in 1994, Li Qihong was quite popular with TVB at the beginning, and her first play was to cooperate with Liming, one of the four kings, and she played the female number one. But whether it is the ratings or the audience's recognition, they are quite low, and such a cute sweet girl Hong Kong teacher doesn't eat it at all.
In the 1995 TV series "The Condor Heroes", she played Guo Xiang purely with the light of personality, not as good as Li Ruotong and Zhang Keyi in terms of temperament, not as good as Fu Mingxian and Zhang Yan in terms of beauty, and not as good as Sydney in terms of acting skills.
Li Qihong actually debuted 3 years earlier than Charmaine Sheh, but in the TV series "The Peerless Businessman" that the two collaborated on, Li Qihong couldn't see that Li Qihong had the aura and acting skills of her predecessors, and she still stared at the baby face and sold cuteness. On the contrary, as soon as Charmaine Sheh appeared, she could immediately feel the powerful heroine's style.
Even if Li Qihong comes to the mainland and Taiwan to film, she can't support the role of the big heroine alone, for example, in the TV series "The Peerless Twins", she can't play the roles of Tie Xinlan and the Lord of the Inviting Moon Palace.
In the mainland drama "Yangmen Female General", not to mention that she is compared with the aura of a queen like Ningning, and she can't compare with Li Ruotong, who is also from TVB, she really can only play a maid to be in her comfort zone.
Later, after Li Qihong became older and couldn't play a sweet girl, she slowly withdrew from the entertainment industry, and now she seems to have become a nurse, which can be regarded as a successful career change.
4: Ho Mei Tin
Like Zhang Yan, He Meitian successfully signed a contract with TVB through TVB's wireless performing arts class in the mainland, but TVB has completely different attitudes towards Zhang Yan and He Meitian.
Zhang Yan has generous facial features and is tall, she is a big heroine face that TVB executives like very much, and the roles she gave back then were all relatively mature and challenging, such as He Yuanjun in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", Meng Qiuxia in "The Legend of the White-Haired Witch" and so on.
When Lu Songxian's version of "Smiling Proud Jianghu" started filming, the candidate for TVB at the beginning of the female director Yingying was Zhang Yan, if it weren't for Zhang Yan's passport problem, maybe he would have successfully ascended to the position, and it was really a big failure to replace Liang Peiling later.
And He Meitian, who is only 1.62 meters tall and has a baby face, is not the type that TVB executives will like at all, and the roles given at the beginning are all dispensable roles such as nurses, staff, and counter ladies.
In the TV series "Dao Ma Dan", her baby-faced appearance, in the face of a big heroine like Zhou Huimin, she plays a sister but looks like a master and servant, although Liang Peiling's appearance is not pleasing, but her aura kills He Meitian in seconds.
is also filming "Smiling Proud Jianghu", TVB's role for He Meitian is only a role like a cute little nun, and the role of Zhong Ling, who is also the most unchallenging in "Dragon Babu". Although there are not many scenes, these two roles can be regarded as allowing He Meitian to have her own representative role.
He Meitian's most right choice was to leave TVB early while she was at the peak of her appearance, and came to the mainland to act in a TV series that was most suitable for her appearance.
5: Other TVBs have beautiful maid faces, and when I meet the big heroine, my face really looks like a maid.
TVB actress Chen Shaoxia, in the TV series "Miao Cuihua", met TVB's first sister Guan Yonghe, and her aura instantly weakened by half, and her acting was not as natural and generous as Guan Yonghe.
Wang Lin, who is known as the most beautiful maid in TVB, there are always many people who say that she wasted her beauty by playing Charmaine Sheh, but as long as she watched the drama, she knew that she could only play the maid, and the whole person was always twisting and pinching, and it seemed that her aura was too weak, and Charmaine Sheh was full of momentum as soon as she appeared.
and Chen Ziyao, who has become popular in recent years because of her husband Wang Haoxin's roll-eye-rolling emoji at the awards ceremony, although TVB has always praised her, and netizens also think that she is more beautiful than Cai Sibei, but she is not optimistic that she can become a big flower at all, and her appearance and acting skills are too ordinary. Her most suitable role is the maid Qian Feiyan in "Palace Scheming".
What else are these actresses, Tang Yingying and Yao Leyi, who have a fox face that makes the grandmother hate, it is impossible for them to play the big heroine in TVB. The face with a thin face and no audience is compared with Charmaine Sheh's upright and stable protagonist's face, and the gap is obvious.
Among so many maid faces and supporting roles, the only pity is Kanghua, her tall appearance and facial features are actually the material of the big heroine's face, but it is a pity that various scandals before her debut ruined her.
Conclusion: Therefore, the vision of TVB's top management is really poisonous, and netizens often regret that these faces of girls who have lost pearls in the sea really can't support the heroine in TVB, and they can really only play supporting roles and play maids. If you want to complain, you can only complain that they were not born in today's internal entertainment, otherwise it will be easy to kill Yu Shuxin, Zhao Lusi, Bailu, these ordinary girls.
