1. Revealing the current environment: those elegant "girlish feelings" in the film and television industry
With the passage of time, we irrevocably lost the beauty of youth, and that time like lightning disappeared without a trace in a blink of an eye. However, in this bustling and chaotic film and television circle, there are still some senior actresses in prison, clinging to the memories of the glorious era in the past, and it is always difficult to give up the beautiful looks they had when they were young.
They seem to selectively ignore the fact that they are gradually aging, and instead try their best to use various means such as post-retouching and makeup techniques to try to reproduce the youthful style of the past on the screen.
Zhou Xun, who is over 40 years old, actually challenged to play the role of an 18-year-old girl in the hit drama "The Legend of Ruyi". Although she is dressed in gorgeous court costumes and delicate makeup, the traces left by the years are still clearly visible, forming a strong contrast with the youthful characters in the play.
Similarly, at the age of 38, Zhang Ziyi also played a 15-year-old girl in "Shangyang Fu", which caused widespread controversy. What's even more outrageous is that Liu Xiaoqing, who is 71 years old, is still wearing a double ponytail, trying to interpret the role of a college student, which really makes people laugh.
They are so obsessed with the glory of the past, and they never forget the beauty of their youth. Therefore, they do not hesitate to use all the grooming techniques to try to maintain the image of a girl in front of the audience forever, even if the final result may seem out of place, even funny.
2. Revealing the Truth: The Harsh Reality Behind the Elaborate Costumes
In fact, the real faces of these stars are far from what they show on the screen. Once they are separated from the elaborate makeup, retouching and carefully selected shooting scenes, their true faces full of vicissitudes will be unreservedly displayed in front of the world.
Take Ye Tong, who played the male protagonist Xu Xian in the classic TV series "The Legend of the New White Lady", as an example. The 61-year-old actress, despite her recent performance skills in the variety show "Infinite Transcendence Class", has guided many students with a kind and kind teacher.
However, when the camera focuses on her close-up, the audience is amazed - a silver hair, a haggard face, loose skin, and empty eyes, as if she were a "walking zombie".
With the brilliance of "The Legend of the New White Lady", Zhao Yazhi, who co-performed this classic story with Ye Tong, also has serious resistance to the disclosure of her gradual aging. Whenever she appears in public, she is always intoxicated by the pink and charming young outfit, wearing a gorgeous and touching Barbie pink lipstick, like an energetic young girl.
However, when she was inadvertently captured in her true face, Zhao Yazhi's true face showed a hideous side - wrinkles on her face, deep dark circles under her eyes, and a fading pointed chin, as if they were two completely different people.
Entering the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, they are no longer able to cover the deep imprints left on their faces by the years through any modification techniques. In Guan Zhilin's unretouched photos, it is clearly visible that her skin is messed up and damaged after medical aesthetic plastic surgery; In the photos of Yi Nengjing's real appearance, her chin and face appear to be unusually loose and swollen due to excessive obesity.
All the truth is ruthlessly revealed, they are no longer young, and their former beauty is gradually moving away. However, they are still closing themselves off, escaping from reality, and turning a blind eye to these issues.
3. The past at the peak: a peerless beauty who became famous at a young age
It must be admitted that Ye Tong and Zhao Yazhi were indeed beauties in their youth, and their acting skills were even more impeccable, so they were able to shine in the well-known costume drama "The Legend of the New White Lady" and win the enthusiastic pursuit of the audience.
In this TV series, Ye Tong successfully created the image of the male protagonist Xu Xian. At that time, she was fresh and refined, and her face was as beautiful as a fairy in a picture. What's more important is that her excellent acting skills have vividly and meticulously interpreted the role of Xu Xian, who loves the White Lady deeply and ends up with hatred.
Take the scene where Xu Xian parted with the White Lady in the last scene of the play as an example. The White Lady was about to return to the Heavenly Realm, and Xu Xian's heart was full of endless reluctance, clasping her sleeves with both hands, begging her not to leave.
However, the White Lady still drifted away and eventually disappeared from his sight. Ye Tong's poignancy and grief for this parting revealed heartfelt emotions, which made people moved and unforgettable.
As for the white lady played by Zhao Yazhi in the play, she is a gentle and beautiful image like a fairy. She has a slender posture, smooth skin, and a gentle and demure temperament between her eyebrows, and was praised as a "peerless beauty" by many audiences back then.
Especially when she floats on the surface of the water as lightly as poetry, the otherworldliness of her beauty and the subtle atmosphere that makes the heart sway, are enough to trigger a feverish infatuation in the hearts of countless teenagers. Let's ask, if it weren't for their extraordinary acting skills, how could they interpret the deep friendship between Bai Xu and the couple, the deep mutual attachment, and the touching scene of finally facing life and death together? It is precisely because of the two actors Ye Tong and Zhao Yazhi who portray the couple's emotional world so deeply into the bone marrow that the work "The Legend of the New White Lady" has become an eternal classic.
Fourth, in-depth analysis of the causes: the psychological distortion caused by indulging in the wrong ideas of the past
It is a pity that these peerless beauties of the past have now abandoned their superb acting skills and noble qualities, leaving only the meaningless nostalgia and stubborn pursuit of their lost youth. They are deeply trapped in an endless attachment to their youthful faces, unable to bravely face the cruel truth that they are aging in reality.
This psychological distortion is not without cause. After all, the fact that they were once brilliant and high-profile when they were young, and the fact that they are no longer brilliant is undoubtedly an unbearable blow. Seeing his face gradually lose its luster and the traces of time leave an imprint on his face is undoubtedly a cruel and helpless process.
Therefore, they take various measures to maintain their youthful appearance. Zhao Yazhi likes to wear girlish pink clothes and Barbie pink lipstick, showing a girlish posture of "showmanship"; Although Ye Tong has shown signs of aging, he still has to dress up carefully in the show to look young and beautiful; What's even more amazing is that Liu Xiaoqing, who is more than a year old, actually dares to challenge the role of a college student, even if it attracts ridicule from everyone, she doesn't care.
With the help of various makeup techniques, photo retouching, clothing matching and other means, they try their best to maintain a young and beautiful image in front of the public, and try their best to hide the fact that they have entered old age. However, the lie will eventually be exposed.
All of this reveals the fact that they are old and that their youthful time is gone forever. However, they turn a blind eye to this and continue to go their own way, being bewildered by the good image of their youth in the past, and unwittingly falling into a pathetic state of psychological distortion.
5. Comparison of positive cases: Carina Lau's elegant demonstration
In contrast, Carina Lau, who is also over half a hundred years old, shows admirable calmness and open-mindedness. As a veteran actor who has won the actress laurel many years ago, his red luck is naturally difficult to fade.
is very different from those veteran female stars who do everything they can to cover up the traces of time, Carina Lau is more keen to share her life moments on major social platforms.
Whether it's a leisurely selfie for outdoor entertainment or a photo of attending various feasts, Carina Lau has never tried to hide her true appearance. She did not shy away from showing her appearance without makeup, and the wrinkles on her face that had been carved by those years were clearly visible.
However, her expression is so calm and calm, revealing a noble temperament between her gestures, and her elegance is peerless.
Carina Lau knows that life is too short, and her face will eventually be eroded by time. Instead of obsessing with the use of various means to cover up the marks of age, it is better to face the natural laws of life bravely and always maintain a young, optimistic and positive attitude.
With such an open-minded attitude, she is still full of vitality and has a unique charm in her old age.
It is this free and open-minded acceptance of the laws of nature that has made Carina Lau win the respect of the audience. Her calmness has also set an excellent example for those self-styled veteran actresses.
The years are merciless, and the years are like a ruthless butcher's knife, no matter who you are, it will leave traces on your face. This is the natural law of life, beyond the reach of any human being.
Instead of trying to escape and cover up, it is better to learn to face the essence of life bravely and accept your old age gracefully.
Zhao Yazhi is dressed as a girl and applies girl's makeup, like a girl who is "showy"; Although Ye Tong is old, he is still dressed up carefully in the show and strives to be eye-catching; Even Liu Xiaoqing, who is 71 years old, is still playing the role of a young student, full of disobedience.
They took great pains to cover up the traces of their age, and compared the real appearance in the life picture, it was really ridiculous and hilarious.
Blindly covering up the traces of age, can people really keep themselves young forever? Can you really make people glorious forever? In fact, this will only make them more and more distant from the trend of the times and out of place with society.
In the long history of mankind, what is truly revered is undoubtedly those like Carina Lau, who can bravely face life, old age, sickness and death, and greet the coming of aging with that energetic and passionate attitude.
These veteran superstars who have lit up the years, they should no longer be saddened by the passing of youth, on the contrary, they should enjoy the last stage of their lives with great calmness.
To resist the erosion of time with that eternally young heart, and to welcome the end of life with that broad mind, this is the road of wisdom we are pursuing! I sincerely hope that they can let go of the attachment in their hearts and show the hidden beauty of wisdom and foolishness.
