In recent years, as a large number of celebrity children have stepped on the stage of the entertainment industry, this trend known as the "second generation of stars" has attracted widespread public attention and eager discussions. These rising stars, who have the resources and opportunities at their disposal, are expected to continue the illustrious careers created by their parents. However, the reality is always full of ups and downs, and some of the "second generation stars" did not rely on their own strength to win the public's praise, but were repeatedly ridiculed by the public for their clumsy acting skills and shoddy works.
In full view of everyone, there is such a controversial "second generation star" figure - Zou Yuanqing. Her mother is the well-known actor Yan Ni, who has followed her mother into the entertainment industry since she was a child, and she should be among the lucky ones. However, not long ago, the TV series "Undercover Police Flower" starring Zou Yuanqing suffered a rapid decline in word-of-mouth as soon as it was broadcast, and was mercilessly reprimanded as a "bad drama" by the audience. This series not only has an absurd plot setting, but Zou Yuanqing's acting skills have also been criticized for being incomplete, stiff and contrived, which makes people unable to resonate. This "bad drama" turmoil undoubtedly plunged her into the whirlpool of public opinion again.
Looking back on Zou Yuanqing's growth process, we can clearly see that every step of her step is inseparable from the full support of her mother Yan Ni and the help of rich resources. As early as 2009, Zou Yuanqing, who was only 11 years old, began her acting career, although it was only a few insignificant cameo roles at first, but under the careful care of her mother, she quickly gained more exposure opportunities.
In 2016, Zou Yuanqing was finally admitted to the China Theatre Academy as she wished, and her first work with a more important role "Secret Fruit" also followed. However, in the years since, she has participated in a large number of film and television productions, but the quality has been uneven, and she has not been able to show a remarkable breakthrough performance.
In 2017, Yan Ni did her best for her daughter's future and co-starred with Zou Yuanqing in the movie "I Am Your Mother". Although this film was finally rated as a bad movie by the audience, Zou Yuanqing still won the "Newcomer Award" in 2019 for her identity as a "newcomer", which shows her high-profile status in the industry.
However, in the following development process, although Zou Yuanqing participated in many well-known film and television dramas, such as "Ode to Joy", "The Right Way to Open Your Life", etc., her performance in group dramas was still lackluster, and she never showed excellent acting skills, as if she was only able to get the role with the influence of her mother.
Zou Yuanqing's acting career at every stage is infiltrated with the silent but deep care and protection of his mother Yan Ni. However, this excessive pampering has just become a stumbling block that hinders the improvement of Zou Yuanqing's acting skills. Although in the reality show, judge Er Dongsheng reminded her in a tactful way that "she should learn more acting skills from her mother", and Yan Ni herself admitted that her daughter's acting skills are still "young". But unfortunately, such advice did not attract enough attention from Zou Yuanqing, she still went her own way, and her acting skills did not improve.
Recently, the new drama "Undercover Police Flower" starring Zou Yuanqing has finally unveiled its mystery and met the audience. However, as soon as this high-profile work was broadcast, it immediately attracted overwhelming criticism. In the play, Zou Yuanqing plays a female policeman, and as soon as she appears, her absurd behavior is shocking. The plot depicts that she intercepted her colleague's vehicle without permission, which directly led to the failure of two years of carefully planned undercover operations. What is even more bizarre is that in the face of such a serious mistake, instead of having the slightest remorse, she vigorously declares that her actions are correct. Instead of criticizing her mistakes, her colleagues chose to forgive her out of admiration for her "heroic sacrifice".
Under such an absurd plot setting, this character, who completely lacks professionalism and basic rational thinking ability, was given a heavy responsibility and became one of the elite anti-narcotics police team. Judging from the plot setting of the whole play, the director and screenwriter seem to have deliberately belittled and ridiculed the sacred profession of the people's police. And Zou Yuanqing's performance is even more jaw-dropping. was supposed to be an energetic, intelligent and excellent policewoman, but under her interpretation, she became a babbling and self-contained funny character. The exaggerated and contrived expression management throughout the whole process, as well as the stiff and rigid movement demeanor, make it hard for people to believe that she is playing a young and promising criminal policeman.
As the daughter of well-known actor Yan Ni, Zou Yuanqing's acting skills are really worrying. No wonder in a previous reality show, judge Er Dongsheng once said to her in a tactful tone: "You should ask your mother more about acting skills." ”
Although Yan Ni was self-conscious, she frankly commented that her daughter Zou Yuanqing's acting skills were still a little "childish". Unexpectedly, her sincere evaluation failed to attract the attention that Zou Yuanqing deserved, she was still stubborn and had no growth at all. is so laissez-faire and passable, it will definitely cast a shadow on her originally magnificent and colorful acting career.
It is this overly spoiled mentality and lack of self-reflection that made "Undercover Police Flower" fiercely criticized by the audience as soon as it was released. This work, which is known as a "bad drama", has undoubtedly become another deep scar in Zou Yuanqing's career.
However, if it is only attributed to the resource advantages of parents, then there are more "extreme" cases in the entertainment industry. For example, Guo Qilin, who is also a "second generation star", his father Guo Degang can be called the optimus giant pillar of Deyun Club, enjoying high prestige in the cross talk industry, and he is a business giant worth hundreds of millions.
According to common sense, with such a strong family background support, Guo Qilin could easily enjoy the dividends, and with his father's aura, he could easily set foot on the road of performing arts. However, Guo Degang's concept of his son's education is extremely firm - only through his own hard work can he achieve real success. Therefore, although Guo Qilin in his childhood was already famous as the "Prince of Deyun Club", his father still did not hesitate to send him to the fourth team of Deyun Club, asking him to start with the most basic cross talk training.
In that environment, the young Guo Qilin tasted the hardships of life. As the "whetstone" of his brothers and sisters, he has to endure cynicism from all sides every day, and even physical trauma. However, it is this perseverance and resilience that has finally transformed him into the actor he is now highly sought after by the audience.
After leaving the field of cross talk and moving to the film and television entertainment industry, Guo Qilin's situation has not been improved. As a "layman" from the traditional industry, he also faced many doubts and blows. For example, when he participated in "Celebrating More Than Years", due to the importance of the role, many people scoffed at his joining, thinking that "how can a cross talk actor be competent for the filming of TV dramas".
However, it is through the excellence of this drama that Guo Qilin has succeeded in completely destroying the self-confidence of those who once doubted him! Since then, he has shown his shocking acting skills in the hit drama "Son-in-law", sweeping away all doubts about his ability.
Looking back today, every footprint of Guo Qilin's rise is engraved with his passionate pursuit and endless efforts for his artistic dreams. It is precisely because of this perseverance and perseverance that he finally realized his father's heroic and passionate praise - "the proudest masterpiece of my life".
In contrast, Zou Yuanqing's road to fame seems too smooth. It seems that all this is a "red carpet" carefully planned by her mother Yan Ni. has followed his mother to the showbiz since he was a child, and has received countless opportunities for exposure; Later, with the help of his mother, he was successfully admitted to a well-known CCTV university; After her debut, her mother paved the way to success for her many times.
Looking back on the past, the rich resources and opportunities enjoyed by Zou Yuanqing undoubtedly made many ordinary actors envious.
