1. The image of "peerless beauty" created by many well-known stars seriously deviates from the ideal criterion in the hearts of the audience!
Influenced by culture since childhood, we all have admiration and romantic visions for the "peerless beauty" depicted in the book—she should be charming and seductive, and exude irresistible seductiveness in her words and deeds.
It is precisely because of this extremely high expectation of beauty that many stars are full of panic when they play roles such as "the first beauty in the world", lest they touch the bottom line of the artist and destroy the original noble temperament of the role.
However, in this era of "appearance first", some actresses regard themselves as "vases", and even some mediocre-looking actors try to forcibly interpret the image of a beauty who captivates the country and the city.
The appearance of Yoko Ramu, Yuan Shanshan, Chen Yanxi and others undoubtedly brought a strong visual impact and extreme discomfort to the audience. In the online world, ridicule and skepticism come and go.
2. The smash hit stars in the past have suffered a sharp decline in word-of-mouth due to improper casting!
Among the many celebrities whose reputation has declined due to improper casting, the first to bear the brunt is Yoko Ramu, the "national goddess" who once swept the country. With the opportunity of the times brought by "appearance anxiety", Yoko Ramu has overcome obstacles all the way and won wide praise in the entertainment industry.
Fans love her straightforward and generous, unpretentious and true character, and her slightly plump figure has a unique charm in the hearts of the audience.
However, just when her career was in full swing, Yoko Ramu participated in two works in a row, "Yuchun Building" and "My Name is Liu Jinfeng", and boldly challenged the difficult role of a peerless beauty, which aroused countless people's doubts and ridicule.
In "Yuchun Building", her true performance is acceptable, but "Liu Jinfeng" is really jaw-dropping, not only the plot is absurd and bizarre, but the spicy appearance makes the audience laugh A short and plump heroine, how can she become a "peerless beauty"? The comedic talent shown by Yoko Rame is obviously more suitable for roles such as poor women.
Let's focus on the star whose reputation has slipped very obviously - Yuan Shanshan. As we all know, she once played the first beauty of the Qing Dynasty and the woman behind Huang Taiji "Da Yuer", and she should have a temperament that firmly resists power and dares to fight bravely.
However, what is surprising is that the Yuan Shanshan we see in the play is a character with one-word eyebrows, fawn eyes, and sausage mouth, looking like an ignorant little girl, which is far from the image depicted in the original book.
Next, in the work "The Legend of Yu Ji", Yuan Shanshan once again showed her embarrassing performance for the audience, and she was completely unable to show the "charming" image of Yu Ji that she wanted to interpret.
In the third part, let's talk about those stars who had a bland image when they debuted, but were asked to play peerless beauties.
Some celebrities did not have particularly eye-catching personalities at the beginning, but broke out of their own world in the entertainment industry through hard work and step by step.
However, when they tasted success for the first time, the agents began to take advantage of this and forcibly stuffed these otherwise ordinary girls into the so-called "peerless beauty" roles, which caused a lot of questions and speculation from the audience.
For example, Wu Chenjun, who was once known as the "ugliest actress", is not outstanding in appearance. However, after she gradually became familiar with this circle, she was selected by the director to play the touching and gentle "Kong Ci".
The huge gap between Wu Chenjun's appearance and the character's temperament, coupled with the poor styling carefully designed for her by the stylist, makes her whole person look very abrupt and leaves a deep visual impact.
The scene where He Rundong was in the same frame with her made many viewers laugh, and they speculated whether she "offended" the director and stylist.
Similarly, Chen Yanxi, known as the "first love of the nation", also encountered a similar dilemma. Her sweet and cute little face is suitable for starring in campus dramas, but for martial arts dramas, it is really difficult to control.
However, after she became a smash hit, the director actually arranged for her to play the poor "Little Dragon Girl" When Chen Yanxi appeared on the screen with Nezha's head and round baby face, many viewers were shocked and said that she might be more suitable to play "Xiaolongbao".
This situation begs the question, what exactly caused such a casting?
Finally, let's explore the issue of directors choosing actors inappropriately in pursuit of topicality, which has caused a lot of controversy.
In the beauty legend dramas starring many stars, we can clearly see that some directors have adopted some more radical strategies in order to pursue sensational effects and attract the attention of the audience, but the effect is often far from their expectations, but instead attracts the public's doubts and even ridicule.
Take the heroine in the play "Eternal Juechen" played by Zhou Dongyu as an example, originally in the original book, she should be a proud and unattainable fairy, but Zhou Dongyu shaped her into a "maidservant" image with distorted facial expressions and exaggerated movements.
This makes the overall temperament of the character very different from the ancient characters, and the audience has said that Zhou Dongyu's understanding of this character is only at the surface level, when she reads out lines such as "Your Excellency stays" word by word, accompanied by shaking her head, the audience can't help laughing.
Also choosing actors for the sensational effect is the production team of "The Legend of Li Ji". At that time, Qin Hailu won the Golden Horse Award actress crown with her square Chinese face, and many people ridiculed her as "the ugliest actress".
People originally thought that Qin Hailu could only play some inconspicuous supporting roles, but unexpectedly, she was selected by the director to play the beautiful and moving role of "Li Ji", which undoubtedly aroused heated discussions and ridicule among the audience, and some netizens joked that "I'm afraid that even Jingyang Feng will be scared and run away when he sees Li Ji."
In addition, there are some celebrities whose reputations have declined rapidly due to other vulgar behaviors.
However, not all celebrities lose the audience's love because of casting mistakes, and more because of their other bad words and deeds. Take Yuan Shanshan as an example, in her acting career, she has been controversial many times because of inappropriate remarks.
For example, when Zhang Xiaofei was not yet popular, Yuan Shanshan repeatedly ridiculed Zhang Xiaofei's snoring on the show, although Zhang Xiaofei personally denied it, Yuan Shanshan still did not give up, and it was not until many years later that she reluctantly apologized on social media, however, in the face of such behavior, the audience has long been tired of it.
It is astonishing that Yuan Shanshan showed such a lack of reverence for precious cultural relics. At the scene of a popular variety show, the staff repeatedly reminded her to be careful with cultural relics, but Yuan Shanshan recklessly held up the cultural relics with two fingers to examine, and even threatened "It's okay, it can be repaired".
This remark caused an uproar in the entertainment industry and attracted strong condemnation from many netizens.
In comparison, Yang Junjun in the past is more mature and stable. Although she was arranged to play a young beautiful girl in "Simon Without Hate", she is nearly forty years old and knows her own conditions and calmly accepts the investor's arrangement.
After all, the original intention of filming is to obtain economic gains, and when money becomes a necessity, people will realize its importance Yang Junjun's perseverance makes people sigh at her perseverance.
6. The casting should be closer to the temperament of the actor to avoid a sense of disobedience
Looking at the overall situation, the roles are ever-changing, and the beauty and ugliness also vary from person to person. As an actor, appearance is important, but the more important thing is to choose the role that best matches your personal temperament. Instead of forcibly beautifying "ugly", it is better to be modest and cautious, and choose the script and characters that are most suitable for you.
Blindly challenging conventional thinking and audience perception can only lead to a sharp decline in word-of-mouth and ridicule from the audience.
Looking back on history, it is not difficult to find that many celebrities have ruined their careers precisely because of casting mistakes. Whether it is "Ramu plays a beauty", "Yuan Shanshan plays Yu Ji" or "Zhou Dongyu plays a fairy", etc., these seemingly hard attempts only won the audience's laughter in the end.
For actors, it is wise to remain humble, humbly seek advice, and choose roles carefully, and excessive pursuit of gimmicks and impulsiveness often backfires.
On the contrary, those actors who can perfectly integrate with the image of the character can really win the audience's reputation. Taking Liu Yifei, Cecilia Cheung and others as examples, the images of beauties they created are all admirable and make the audience fall in love with them.
This is the demeanor of a real "peerless beauty".
