What's more serious is that Kong Lin's performance techniques are gradually rigid, lacking breakthroughs and innovations. Whether it is the modern drama "Dear Love" or "One Life", she portrays a similar image of a bland middle-aged woman, with monotonous facial expressions and a lack of change.
When working with young actors, she shows a detached and condescending arrogant attitude, as if casting a disappointed gaze on her juniors.
This lack of breakthrough and increasingly unfamiliar performance has made the majority of fans deeply question her acting skills.

3. Brilliant and dazzling glorious time: After entering the new century, he continued to challenge himself and shine in the field of costume dramas
When time entered the new millennium, Kong Lin, a rising star, finally bloomed with the most dazzling light. After entering the 21st century, she actively broadened her acting path and bravely took on the heavy responsibility of costume dramas, a field that she was not good at.
With her extraordinary talent and incomparable love for her acting career, Kong Lin has been indomitable and shining on this strange drama road. In 2002, she successfully played the role of the charming and emotional Yahuan Yan'er in the costume drama "The Red Lantern Hangs High", which perfectly presented this vivid role and won warm applause from the audience.
Immediately afterwards in 2005, in the work "Little Fish and Flowers", Kong Lin boldly challenged a sinister and cunning but extremely charming villain, which made countless fans fall for it, both love and hate, which fully proves that her accurate grasp of the drama has been widely recognized.
And the most unforgettable thing is undoubtedly that in 2008, Kong Lin carried the beam alone and successfully controlled the important role of Huang Rong in the new version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". She vividly expressed Huang Rong's innocent and lively, intelligent and clever personality, won unanimous praise inside and outside the industry, and was called the most dazzling star at that time.
In the past many years, Kong Lin has emerged in the field of costume dramas with her excellent interpretation skills, and has become an undoubted "drama bone" actor, dazzling as a star, radiant, and full of endless expectations for her future! However, fourth, the raging of doubts makes people sigh: the acting skills are superficial, the modeling is inconsistent, the lack of breakthroughs and the becoming more and more rigid.
Just as everyone's expectations for Kong Lin are soaring, some doubts inside and outside the film and television industry have ignored his achievements and begun to spread quietly. The audience questioned one after another, pointing out that Kong Lin's recent performance was too superficial, failing to dig deep into the inner world of the character, giving people the feeling of reciting lines mechanically, which was boring and unbearable.
It is particularly worth noting that in the widely watched costume period drama "Thrush", Kong Lin's appearance has caused a lot of controversy, she is wearing a suit and leather shoes, and the modern costume with heavy makeup and bright makeup forms a strong contrast with the simple and elegant ancient scenes in the play, which seems out of place, attracting sideways attention, the on-site staff can't help but laugh, and fans can't help but laugh after watching it.
The more serious problem is that Kong Lin's performance style has stagnated and lacks innovative breakthroughs. In the modern dramas "Dear Love" and "One Life", the characters she portrayed are almost the same, all of them are ordinary middle-aged women, and their facial expressions are monotonous and lackluster.
When partnering with young actors, she showed an arrogant and conceited attitude, and seemed to be quite dissatisfied with her juniors.
This increasingly rigid performance can't help but make people question whether Kong Lin is still worthy of the noble title of "old drama bone". 5. Analysis of the root cause of the dilemma: trapped by stereotypes and lack of courage to break through the comfort zone, facing the crisis of being replaced.
Kong Lin's embarrassing predicament in recent years is rooted in her being bound by stereotypes. Audiences found that no matter what film or television she appeared in, the producers always seemed to default to the fact that she could only play the role of a middle-aged woman, making it difficult for her to break out of the comfort zone of the mother figure.
However, Kong Lin did not show enough courage to actively break through this shackle. She seems to be satisfied with the current situation, lacking the firm determination and determination to hit the higher peaks.
In contrast, the young generation of new actors have already bravely shouldered the heavy responsibility at their age and achieved a successful transformation of their roles, on the other hand, Kong Lin still stayed in place and failed to take half a step forward, making her acting skills gradually become jerky.
If she continues to treat her acting career like this, the dilemma of being stereotyped by the role will become more and more serious. In the end, she may not even be able to keep the honorific title of "old drama bone", and she faces a huge risk of being completely replaced by new forces and eliminated from the game.
The key to everything is whether Kong Lin herself has the courage to make up her mind to make a change.
