1. The decline of the "national girl".
Now Yang Zi is no longer the "national girl" of the past. She starred in a costume fairy drama "Agarwood is like crumbs", and the quality is really inferior to the point of disappointment.
At the beginning of the broadcast, this drama was boasted as having an "S+-level script", "S+-level production team" and "S+-level sound effect configuration", etc., and the publicity work was admirable, which undoubtedly made the audience have high expectations for it.
However, when the series actually met the audience, it surprised everyone and felt quite disappointed.
The plot is old-fashioned and thin, and I can't see anything new at all. The love and hatred of the hero and heroine seem to only revolve around the small circle of the two of them, and there is no nutrition at all.
Even the character shaping of the characters in the play is the same and mediocre, so that the audience can't see any difference between Yan Dan and Jinmi.
What's even more infuriating is that no matter how sharp the contradiction between the hero and heroine is, the reason why they have differences is a bit far-fetched, inexplicable, and completely confusing.
can't help but sigh: Didn't the director have a brain when he created these two characters? No wonder the various behaviors of the hero and heroine make the audience so speechless.
Her standard "wide-eyed frightened" and "stiff facial muscles" are all extremely embarrassing to look at. One can't help but wonder: in real life, would anyone really show such an empty expression when they are surprised? Yang Zi seems to have forgotten all the basic skills of acting.
As a fan of her, I used to feel extremely sorry for her. But now that she thinks about it, it's just her own career choice, and she accepts the show's salary, so she doesn't need to bear any harm.
What really suffers is the poor audience who don't know it. It's really indignant that we spend time and money only to see a terrible piece of work.
2. The former "national girl"
If you want to understand Yang Zi's lonely situation now, you have to go back to her past. Yang Zi has shown outstanding acting talent since she was a child, and in the well-known classic drama "Family with Children", she played the role of Xia Xue as a classic image in childhood memories.
At that time, Yang Zi was in her youth, full of youthful vitality, and her cute and playful image made countless audiences crazy. Her innocent and pretty, childish appearance, combined with her excellent acting skills, makes people feel like seeing the little sister next door, kind and lovely.
Since then, the reputation of "national girl" has followed her like a shadow.
It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, as Yang Zi grew up, her slightly mediocre appearance was a little unnoticeable on the stage of the entertainment industry, where there are many beauties.
Although her acting skills have been recognized by many people, in this industry that values appearance, appearance is still an important factor that cannot be avoided.
The famous director Song Dandan even warned Yang Zi earnestly that if she decided to seek development in the entertainment industry, she would definitely face many difficulties and challenges. After all, her slightly mediocre appearance is easy to ignore on this stage with many dazzling beauties.
Although once upon a time, the reputation of the "national girl" brought her a huge popularity base, but Yang Zi also clearly realized that it was difficult to support her in the entertainment industry alone.
She had to do something and take some decisive action to change the situation.
It was at this time that Yang Zi made a somewhat bold decision - she bravely chose plastic surgery to give herself a makeover. This is not a new thing in the entertainment industry, but Yang Zi did not shy away from it in an interview, and generously admitted that she had plastic surgery, and this honest attitude is undoubtedly commendable.
The audience often has a high degree of tolerance for sincere and straightforward stars. With a new face, Yang Zi also has a new beginning. Since then, she has been working in obscurity in small roles behind the scenes, honing her acting skills in the crew.
Although she was never reused by directors in the beginning, Yang Zi is like a tough brick, no matter where she is, she can quickly adapt to the environment and find her place.
In her small roles, she strives to dig out the inner characteristics of each character, and uses her own understanding and comprehension to create every vivid and vivid image.
3. Serendipity opens a turning point
Although Yang Zi has been working hard in obscurity, the opportunity finally opened the door to her. Everything stemmed from a coincidence, the heroine of the hit drama "Battle of Changsha", which was being filmed at the time, had some situations that could not continue filming, and the crew had to temporarily change people.
With her previous outstanding performance, Yang Zi was favored by the director, so she took over the original heroine and starred as the female number one in this drama. Although her performance in the play was not too outstanding, this drama later received a very high word-of-mouth rating, which laid the foundation for Yang Zi's future acting career.
Shortly thereafter, Yang Zi ushered in another important turning point. When the word-of-mouth urban life drama "Ode to Joy" was casting, the crew finally included her in the cast.
Although she plays a less popular role in the play, being able to participate in this hit drama that is popular all over the country is undoubtedly a great boost to Yang Zi's career development.
After starring in "Ode to Joy", Yang Zi's fame and popularity increased sharply, and the next development gradually improved. Soon, she opened the door to first-line stars with the costume fairy drama "Qingyunzhi" and the word-of-mouth hit "Fragrant Honey Sinks Like Frost".
Especially the latter, which directly pushed Yang Zi to the peak of her career.
In "Xiangmi", Yang Zi plays a gentle and virtuous woman who waits for love wholeheartedly. Her superb acting skills made this role deeply loved by the audience, and she became an instant hit and became a well-deserved popular actress.
For Yang Zi, this drama can be said to be the most critical turning point in her life and career.
At this time, Yang Zi seemed to have seized the industry outlet, struck while the iron was hot, and then starred in the urban emotional drama "Dear Love", and once again won a good reputation.
For a while, she can be said to have earned enough attention from the audience everywhere and became a top superstar known to everyone.
Fourth, the fatigue of the career is exhausted
With the huge success of the drama "Fragrant Honey Sinks Like Frost", Yang Zi has become a popular first-line actress in one fell swoop. In the play, she plays a woman who is coldly regarded because of her family background, but her heart is pure and gentle.
Yang Zi performed this role appropriately and delicately, winning unanimous praise from the audience.
Her gentle and virtuous but slightly lonely temperament has made many viewers fall in love with her. When she looks at her sweetheart with tears in the play, her delicate eyes reveal deep love, which is empathetic; When she was treated coldly in the play, the melancholy and loneliness in her eyes made people feel pity.
It can be said that it is Yang Zi's excellent acting skills that make this originally ordinary character come alive and win a high degree of attention.
With the popularity of "Xiangmi", Yang Zi can be said to be an instant hit, and her career suddenly embarked on the fast lane. She then starred in an urban emotional drama "Dear Love" one after another, although the plot was plain and warm, it was also widely acclaimed, once again strengthening her status as a "national goddess".
With the strong help of the work "Xiangmi", coupled with the smooth development of the road, Yang Zi soon became a well-known first-line star and a well-deserved top actress.
At that time, she could be said to have earned enough attention from the audience everywhere and became an idol in the minds of countless fans.
But just when her career seemed to be going more and more smoothly, Yang Zi unexpectedly had an indescribable fatigue. Her vision for choosing the script and her ability to control the script seem to have some puzzling problems.
Several new dramas starring her in succession are mostly glimpses and shadows, leaving no fragrance, which makes people feel that there are no highlights after watching them.
The most suffocating thing is her latest starring costume fairy drama "Agarwood is like crumbs". At the beginning of the broadcast, this drama was boasted by the producer that it had various configurations of "S+ level", and the publicity was admirable.
But when it actually met the audience, it was a big surprise and quite disappointing.
The plot of the whole show is old-fashioned and thin, and there is nothing new at all. The love-hate entanglement between the hero and heroine is even more gratuitous and inexplicable, which is particularly contrived and far-fetched.
Even the shaping of the characters' personalities is the same and mediocre, so that the audience can't see any difference.
What's even more distressing is that Yang Zi, who plays the heroine, is also quite blunt and contrived in this drama, and she can't see what understanding and comprehension she has about the role at all.
Her usual patterns such as "staring at her eyes in horror" and "stiff facial muscles" really make people feel particularly embarrassed to look at. This kind of formalistic acting skills really made Yang Zi lose her standard in this drama, and she was frenzied by countless fans.
Fifth, look forward to starting again
Regarding the costume drama "Agarwood Like Crumbs" starring Yang Zi, which was touted as "S+ level", netizens said that they couldn't see where this "S+" level configuration was reflected.
The plot is old-fashioned and lacks novelty, the emotional entanglement of the hero and heroine is even more inexplicable and strange, and Yang Zi's acting skills are also blunt and contrived, and it is almost impossible to see what she understands and understands the role.
The whole drama is like repeating on the assembly line of a factory, giving people the feeling that it is just repeating an old mold mechanically, and there are no surprises at all. When Yang Zi cried and was sad in the play, it made people feel extremely embarrassed in their eyes, and they couldn't substitute into her emotions at all.
Some viewers commented that watching this drama is like being "abused", and the so-called "S+" level production is not seen at all, but it gives people a vulgar and shoddy feeling.
There is no doubt that "Agarwood is like crumbs" is a Waterloo for Yang Zi. , a popular first-line top actress, has indeed fallen into a bottleneck period in her career and encountered a low point in her life.
Some people think that maybe she is facing some realistic limitations and pressures, but it is undeniable that she does need to seriously reflect and regain her strength.
The audience is looking forward to Yang Zi to cherish the current time, sincerely reflect, face the problem, and re-find the direction of her heart. Only in this way can she get out of this professional dilemma and life trough, and reap the ideal happy life in her career and emotional life.
6. Summary

At the beginning, with the cute and playful role of Xia Xue in the well-known "Family with Children", Yang Zi won the reputation of "national girl".

In just a few years, Yang Zi has gone from being in the limelight to falling into a low point in her life, and has to face condemnation from inside and outside. There is no doubt that she is currently in a difficult period of her career, and she urgently needs to reflect and rediscover her direction and value.
No matter what happens in the end, we still hope that Yang Zi can regain her strength, regain her shine in her acting career and love life, and harvest her ideal and beautiful life.
