1. Start from a unique perspective, leading to the yearning and expectation for those charismatic short drama actors
Once upon a time, we may have had the same mood as others, and we had a soft spot for those famous movie and television stars, and we yearned for them immensely. However, as the years went by, I gradually realized that in this brilliant world of film and television, in addition to those shining superstars, there are many unknown but equally brilliant new stars.
Most of them, in some low-budget online short dramas, have managed to capture my heart with their strength and charisma, although they have not yet won wide recognition from a national audience.
The love for the male protagonists of these skits can actually be traced back a few years. At that time, I had just moved from the stage of traditional film and television dramas to small theaters, and I was immediately attracted by the freshness of this place.
From He Jianqi, a staff member of Zhuhai high-speed rail station who once swept the whole network, to Liu Runming, who resembles Ren Jialun, and then to Ai Hongchen, who is known as the "Korean version of Lee Min Ho", these handsome and dashing male stars, with their superb acting skills and charming appearance, have successfully touched the hearts of countless female audiences.
I am full of hope that one day, when they become household names like Sun Yue and Bai Fangwen, more people will be able to appreciate their outstanding acting talents.
At that time, there may be new idols popping up, but I will never forget that it is these unknown little people who first brought us surprises again and again behind the scenes.
2. The introduction of several actors with outstanding appearance and superb acting skills, such as He Jianqi and Zheng Feng, as well as the classic short drama works and their roles starring them
When it comes to those handsome and dashing short drama actors, how can you ignore He Jianqi, who was once popular all over the Internet? This young man, born in Guangzhou in 1995, was originally just an ordinary employee of the Zhuhai high-speed rail station, but he became popular on the Internet overnight because of his handsome face.
Subsequently, he devoted himself to the film and television industry and participated in many excellent online short dramas.
Among them, the most classic work is "When I am a stand-in, I have a monthly salary of one million" co-starring with Ma Qiuyuan. In this drama, He Jianqi played a rich and handsome stand-in with a monthly salary of up to one million, and in order to avoid family disputes, he had to live incognito in life.
The twists, turns, complexities, and gripping story of "sister and brother love" jointly performed by He Jianqi and Ma Qiuyuan deeply touched the hearts of countless audiences and became a classic loved by fans! With his superb acting skills, He Jianqi successfully created a character image who seems to be rich and handsome, but is actually extremely lonely in his heart, especially in some touching crying scenes, his accurate grasp of emotions and excellent performance are breathtaking!
Also worthy of our attention is Zheng Feng and Zhiyue co-starring "Sick Villain Strategy Plan". Zheng Feng, who is as tall as 181 centimeters, can easily control whether he is wearing ancient costumes or modern clothes, showing extraordinary charm.
In the play, he plays a villain who is sunny and cheerful on the surface, but is actually dark and melancholy in his heart, and he and Zhiyue jointly performed a dramatic sick love story, and the superb acting skills of the two actors won warm praise from the majority of netizens, making Zheng Feng, a budding new actor, quickly become popular in the entertainment industry.
In addition, outstanding actors such as Wang Zuyi and Jin Jiayu are also powerful representatives who are loved by the audience. Wang Zuyi has participated in many costume dramas, with his 183 cm tall figure, he vividly interprets the chic style of the ancient son, and exudes a heroic and fearless chivalrous atmosphere in every move.
And Jin Jiayu attracted the attention of many fans because of his handsome appearance that resembles Korean actor Ji Chang Wook In the TV series "It's Been Quiet", his focused and arrogant eyes made the atmosphere of the whole series instantly tense and exciting.
3. Go back to my original intention and tell why I became interested in the male protagonists of the short drama and began to appreciate them
If I had to go back to the roots, then my appreciation for the male lead in a short drama could be traced back several years. At that time, I had just changed from a fan of traditional movies and TV shows to a big fan of small theater performances, and I was immediately attracted by the freshness of the place.
The production cost of short dramas is relatively low, and the distribution channels are diversified, providing a rare opportunity for countless new actors to exercise.
And the main reason why I appreciate the male protagonists of short dramas is their unique temperament. They are completely different from the overly stereotypical "Diamond King Five" halo on those big-name stars in the entertainment industry, but they still maintain that simple human touch.
Some of them come from small-town factories, others are newcomers who have just graduated from drama school, and they all have the original innocent dreams, eager to continue to progress on the road of being an actor and pursue a higher artistic realm.
In terms of intelligence, He Congrui can be called a commendable Chinese opera graduate, although he is only 177cm tall, he has successfully composed many wonderful roles in TV dramas with his profound basic skills.
What impressed me the most was the image of his manic boss in "After I Left My Job, My Former Boss Stalked Me". In the play, his expression is distorted and his behavior is abnormal, which makes people feel frightened when they watch it.
Especially in the last shot, he suddenly turned to face the camera and showed a hideous smile, this scene is simply terrifying!
In addition, He Congrui's image of a humble and polite son of a family in "Son-in-Demand" is also full of praise. In the play, he is personable, elegant and easy-going, and every eye contact between him and the heroine is full of tacit understanding and emotion.
As a young actor who is only 26 years old, Ho Congrui's ability to navigate such a complex and diverse level of performance undoubtedly shows his outstanding talent and hard work.
4. We will briefly introduce the acting careers of outstanding newcomers such as Zhao Yibo and Li Fei and their representative works.
In the field of short dramas, there has never been a shortage of powerful newcomers, and Zhao Yibo, Li Fei and others are among the leaders.
Zhao Yibo was born in Shanxi in 1998, with a height of 180cm and a handsome and sunny face, as if he combined the advantages of Edison Chen and Hou Minghao. He first rose to prominence through the variety show "Let's Farm the Land", and then entered the film and television industry, participating in many short dramas such as "It's Just Love" and "Mommy's Counterattack", and quickly became a high-profile new star.
Many viewers have been deeply attracted by Zhao Yibo's superb acting skills in "It's Just Love". In the play, he plays a rich kid who is extremely smart but depressed, and starts an unforgettable misplaced love affair with the heroine.
In the whole play, Zhao Yibo's accurate grasp of emotional changes, especially those tear-jerking crying scenes, is really breathtaking. The audience has given him high praise for his outstanding performance in the play.
What I still remember is the scene where Zhao Yibo broke up with the heroine in the play. When the heroine proposed to break up, his face was first full of confusion, then his eyes gradually dimmed, and finally nodded resolutely.
Zhao Yibo handled this emotional change from shock to numbness to resoluteness naturally and smoothly, without any sense of pretentiousness, which is really admirable.
Another star who is also a proud son of a prestigious school is Li Fei, who was born in 1996. This tall and powerful man has always had a strong belief that he wants to carve out his own in the field of costume dramas, and this determination has never wavered since he stepped into the industry.
Like a brave dark horse, he emerged from some low-cost online dramas, gradually accumulated experience, and finally became famous in the industry, and began to shoot some high-profile IP adaptations, such as "Give Her a Handle" and "Cold Branches Keep Breaking", all starring him.
The audience was overwhelmed by Li Fei's unique charm in ancient costumes and strong military temperament, and the praise was endless.
5. Discuss the importance of appearance and acting skills to the success of actors
Whenever I look back on those outstanding short actors, I can't help but sigh at the importance of appearance and acting skills to actors. If you want to become an excellent actor, it is obviously not enough to have a handsome face, and your inner acting skills are also crucial.
Taking He Jianqi and Zheng Feng as examples, they are undoubtedly extremely good-looking male stars, but the reason why they can stand out among many actors is precisely because of their superb acting skills.
He Jianqi successfully interpreted the deep loneliness of the rich second generation in "When I Am a Stand-in", which won warm praise from the audience; And Zheng Feng's wonderful performance in "Sick Villain Strategy Plan" successfully created a complex character who is indifferent on the outside and hot on the inside.
Because of this, they can go beyond the simple image of a "vase" and prove themselves with their strength, so as to win the love of the audience.
On the contrary, if an actor is valued only for his beauty, but lacks basic acting skills, then it is difficult for him to truly win the sincere love of the audience. The audience has a keen eye and can clearly discern which performances are just "show".
Therefore, no matter how good the appearance is, the actor must give life and depth to the character with solid acting skills to win praise and recognition from the audience.
The end of the sixth part once again highlights our high expectations for good short actors, and invites everyone to share their idols.
Looking back on the superb performances of the leading actors of these short plays, I sincerely wish them a broader platform for development in the years to come. After all, not only do they have striking looks, but more importantly, they have earned widespread praise for their acting excellence.
Take Ho Cong Rui as an example, a rookie who graduated from drama school and successfully blended practical experience with theoretical knowledge, showing great talent and unlimited potential.
I am convinced that as long as they continue to work tirelessly, they will be able to gradually move from obscurity to household name like He Jianqi and Zhao Yibo. There may be more new stars on our radar, but I'll never forget that it was the talented little people who gave us countless breathtaking moments behind the scenes.
So, who do you love the most about these outstanding skit actors? Is it the handsome and dashing Zhao Yibo, or the humble and polite He Congrui? Or is it the domineering but chivalrous Li Fei? We sincerely welcome you to speak freely in the comment section and share your favorite and the story behind it.
