1. The unique charm that shines in "Qin Xianglian".
As we all know, in the popular costume drama "Qin Xianglian" a few years ago, the talented Yuan Shanshan instantly conquered countless audiences with her true temperament of returning to nature. The image she plays as Qin Xianglian, as her name suggests, perfectly conveys the character traits of the woman depicted in the original novel - gentle and intellectual, neither pretentious nor deliberately charming.
At that time, Yuan Shanshan's first impression was that she was obedient and gentle. Her eyes reveal a kind of tenderness of her daughter's family, even when she encounters injustice in the play and tears in her eyes, she can show a different kind of beauty.
Tears slowly slipped down her bright apricot eyes, like a spring in the sun, pure and gentle. This kind of touching posture made many viewers feel pity, and they felt that she was born with the kind of distressing little white flower temperament.
In addition, the crew also took great pains to design Yuan Shanshan's modeling. The various costumes she wears in the play, whether they are simple and generous or well-made, give people just the right visual experience.
Especially when she wears delicate silver ornaments and wears embroidered cloud brocade clothes, the whole person seems to be a peerless beauty who has come out of ancient paintings, showing her intellectual and gentle demeanor between her gestures.
It is precisely because of her deep appreciation of Yuan Shanshan's unique temperament that fellow actor Liu Xuehua strongly recommended her to director Yu Zheng. In Liu Xuehua's view, Yuan Shanshan is naturally beautiful, and her appearance perfectly matches the role in "Qin Xianglian", and she is undoubtedly the best candidate for the role.
2. The difficult journey after being ridiculed as a "sausage mouth".
However, who would have thought that Yuan Shanshan, who had unlimited potential in Liu Xuehua's eyes, would later be ridiculed as an image of "sausage mouth". It all stems from a serious mistake in packaging and shaping her.
In a series of TV series directed by director Yu Zheng, Yuan Shanshan has been entrusted with important tasks many times as the heroine. However, the crew's treatment of her styling has obvious deviations, resulting in her originally delicate facial features being distorted into a weird and exaggerated appearance on the screen.
Taking the hit TV series "Palace Lock Bead Curtain" as an example, we can find that Yuan Shanshan's styling mistake in the play caused her to suffer the nickname of "sausage mouth" given by the audience.
There is no doubt that this outfit has made Yuan Shanshan's image in the public mind like a roller coaster, and critics have accused her of being "extremely tacky" and "ugly", and the beautiful image she created in her previous work "Qin Xianglian" instantly came to naught, and some netizens even ridiculed: "Her appearance is no different from Wu Zetian's concubine", "Even inferior to the maid in the court drama".
As the criticism continued to escalate, the audience even established the "Anti-Yuan Shanshan National Support Association", and its membership once surpassed Yuan Shanshan's real fan group. This is undoubtedly a heavy blow and endless humiliation for Yuan Shanshan.
Once in the limelight, she is now mercilessly belittled and ridiculed.
Incredibly, in the face of the flood of criticism, Yu Zheng did not reflect on himself, but pointed the finger at the audience. He openly compared Yuan Shanshan to the popular actress Fan Bingbing, and claimed that the reason why she was "hacked" was entirely because she was too beautiful and popular.
This kind of arrogant and rude remarks undoubtedly pushed Yuan Shanshan to the forefront of public opinion again.
Since then, "getting out of the entertainment industry" has become the most common curse for Yuan Shanshan by the majority of netizens. She was labeled with various negative labels such as "ugly duckling" and "short black poor", and completely became the target of everyone's attacks.
was once held up to the clouds, but now it has been swept away, Yuan Shanshan's acting career can be described as experiencing a thrilling ups and downs.
However, it wasn't until a talk show many years later that the fuse of the modeling turmoil was revealed. It turned out that all this stemmed from Yu Zheng's selection of an "unqualified" makeup artist, which led to serious damage to Yuan Shanshan's image.
Yu Zheng admits: "Yuan Shanshan is indeed very beautiful, but I deeply regret it, in fact, it is closely related to my own mistakes, because I chose a makeup artist, and when painting the lips, the makeup artist prefers to depict them as full and plump."
This outspoken remark can't help but make people sigh and sigh with emotion! I think everyone can understand that the original makeup artist's aesthetic understanding of oriental women's facial features has seriously deviated from the track.
They consciously or unintentionally ignored the difference in Yuan Shanshan's inner temperament, overemphasizing the characteristics of her lips, and finally making her present a strange image like a "sausage mouth".
As a director and producer, Yu Zheng should have strictly adhered to professional ethics and strictly checked the unprofessional behavior of the crew's work, but he turned a blind eye to this, which eventually led to the disaster of a promising new artist.
If there was a stylist with an accurate vision at that time who could capture Yuan Shanshan's gentle, intellectual and connotative temperament, and integrate it into the costume of the character of "Qin Xianglian", then she would definitely not fall into the situation of being criticized by everyone.
Yu Zheng's reflection makes people think deeply. Whether a person's career can be full of sunshine, in addition to their own unremitting efforts, they also need the scientific guidance of mentors and teams.
Although Yuan Shanshan eventually became the talk of people after dinner, Liu Xuehua recommended her with a unique vision, but Yu Zheng failed to cherish this rare opportunity.
Looking back on the past now, Yu Zheng undoubtedly lived up to Liu Xuehua's high hopes for Yuan Shanshan, and also wasted a piece of her kindness.
Fourth, 37-year-old Yuan Shanshan sparked heated discussions because of plastic surgery
However, shortly after Yu Zheng publicly admitted that her mistakes led to Yuan Shanshan's online violence, the actress, who is over 37 years old, once again became the focus of public attention because of plastic surgery.
Her appearance has changed drastically, and she is similar to her past appearance.
The most striking thing is her nose. In the photos of life without any filters, Yuan Shanshan's nose is particularly prominent and exaggerated. The bridge of her nose, which was originally delicate and round, was deliberately raised and cocked outward, and the wings of her nose became extremely narrow, completely losing the beauty of harmony with her original facial contours.
Some netizens commented that her nose has changed so much, at first glance it seems to be Yao Di's nose shape, and then it looks like Li Xiaolu's, and under closer inspection, it seems to be Zhang Meng, who was controversial back then.
This sharp and protruding nose shape was obviously artificially modified, which was in stark contrast to Yuan Shanshan's original soft temperament.
In the recent photo footage of Yuan Shanshan's first public appearance at Milan Fashion Week released by a famous makeup artist, the huge change in Yuan Shanshan's appearance is simply astonishing! Her nose seems to have been violently squeezed, standing out high, and the curvature of the looks extremely weird.
The entire facial proportion has also lost its original harmony, and it is no longer possible to find the intellectual and gentle temperament that was shown in "Qin Xianglian" back then.
After seeing these unretouched on-site photos, many netizens all sighed that Yuan Shanshan had been "unrecognizable". Her originally delicate and beautiful facial features have lost their original agility and charm under the "frenzy" of medical beauty and plastic surgery.
Coupled with her already prominent lips, the expression of her whole face was extremely sluggish and stiff, and even added a few lines of corpse-like feeling.
Part 5: Wasted Liu Xuehua's recommendation opportunity
Facing Yuan Shanshan's appearance after plastic surgery, we can't help but feel emotional. Once upon a time, Liu Xuehua discovered and admired Yuan Shanshan's fresh and natural unique temperament with her unique vision, and recommended her to Yu Zheng, which was undoubtedly a very forward-looking choice and decision.
Liu Xuehua and Yuan Shanshan co-starred in the drama "Qin Xianglian" back then, and witnessed the gentle and quiet and intellectual side of this young actress. Yuan Shanshan is naturally beautiful, although she is petite, she has complete internal organs, and her temperament is even more extraordinary, which is by no means comparable to worldly pretentiousness.
It is based on her deep appreciation of her temperament of returning to the basics and washing away the lead that Liu Xuehua is willing to open the road of recommendation for her. Unfortunately, the good horse was injured by going astray. Yu Zheng's improper handling of Yuan Shanshan's packaging not only disappointed Liu Xuehua's wishes, but also buried all the possibilities for Yuan Shanshan to further develop into a first-line Hua Dan.
Now Yuan Shanshan's strange image after plastic surgery has made her deviate from the true temperament that Liu Xuehua valued in the past.
We can only sigh that a discerning predecessor spared no effort to exclude public opinion for the sake of the younger generation, but it was so wasted, which is really sad. Yuan Shanshan was originally expected to become another shining star in the domestic entertainment industry, but unfortunately she encountered many setbacks on the road to growth and finally failed to get her wish.
