From the peak star to the embarrassing status quo, Yang Ying's helpless predicament
Once one of the brightest stars in the mainland entertainment industry, Yang Ying is now showing unprecedented embarrassment on the stage of the Hong Kong Film Awards. The 34-year-old actress wore a white haute couture dress that didn't seem to fit well, and her performance on stage was restrained and stiff, and her eyes wandered helplessly.
What's even more critical is that Yang Ying and Feng Delun, who was on the same stage, unnaturally implanted some takeaway advertisements, and the interaction between the two was extremely embarrassing, making people wonder if there was any behind-the-scenes operation. This embarrassing performance is not accidental, it actually reflects the gradual marginalization and decline of Yang Ying's status in the mainland entertainment industry.
That night, Yang Ying barely had any footage exposed at the scene, just sitting silently in the last row, in stark contrast to her past status as a first-line superstar. This is also considered to be a clear proof that she has lost her voice and resources in the mainland. Since her divorce from Huang Xiaoming, Yang Ying's commercial endorsements and resources have been greatly reduced, and she has even been "abandoned" by some brands.
From A-list superstar to being marginalized, Yang Ying's difficult moments
Yang Ying's embarrassing performance at the Hong Kong Film Awards is actually just a microcosm of her status in the mainland entertainment industry that is gradually being marginalized. From the first-line traffic Xiaohuadan back then, to the star who is now regarded as "cool" by the industry, her fall process is really dramatic.
If you want to talk about Yang Ying's glorious period, it was definitely a few years after she married Huang Xiaoming. At that time, she not only had a dazzling appearance, but also became one of the hottest female artists in the mainland with a number of hit dramas. Every one of her endorsements and variety shows has attracted much attention, and her popularity is unparalleled.
But at this peak, Yang Ying was suddenly involved in the turmoil of the "Crazy Horse Show", and some of her words and deeds in the show aroused strong dissatisfaction and condemnation from public opinion. This undoubtedly dealt a heavy blow to her career, and she was soon banned and lost a vast part of her resources.
Since then, Yang Ying's commercial endorsement and variety show work have been greatly reduced, and she has even been directly "abandoned" by some brands. Her influence and popularity in the entertainment industry have also plummeted, and even if the ban is lifted later, her position and exposure in the show are far less than before.
And in her recent works, she has not been able to deliver a satisfactory answer. At the age of 34, her appearance has declined, but her acting skills have not made breakthroughs, and her lack of blessing from representative works has caused her to fall into a bottleneck period in the entertainment industry.
Start afresh or do you just go away? Yang Ying faces a difficult choice
Looking at Yang Ying's current situation in the entertainment industry, it can be said that it is an embarrassment and predicament. From the top star of the year, to being marginalized and losing her right to speak, her fall process is really dramatic. This dilemma is not entirely unsolvable.
For Yang Ying, she first needs to reposition her role and positioning in the entertainment industry. After all, at the age of 34, she is no longer the little flower of the year, and if she wants to rise again, she must transform, and maybe she can try some new character types and themes.
She also needs to actively develop new business resources and endorsements. Now that she has lost a lot of her past resources, she must open up new sources of profit if she wants to regain her footing.
The most important thing is the issue of the work. The quality of Yang Ying's works in recent years has been uneven, and there is a lack of a true masterpiece. Only by coming up with an excellent movie or series can it really bring her a chance to turn over.
Judging from the current situation, it is indeed difficult for Yang Ying to rise again. But if she can take advantage of the opportunity and put in enough effort, maybe there is still a chance to live. After all, she was once one of the brightest stars in the mainland, and people's expectations for her have not completely disappeared.
This also requires the entertainment industry to give her some opportunities and space. The current entertainment industry is too much after "traffic" and "phenomenal" stars, and it seems to be a little cold to "old drama bones" like Yang Ying. But we can't deny that real acting skills and strength are the foundation that supports the long-term development of an actor.
