In the film and television industry, the external image of the actor is the focus of the audience's attention. Among the many external factors, the importance of body proportions is self-evident. The body proportions of the actors not only affect the aesthetic experience of the audience, but also determine their development space in the industry.
Golden body ratio: the ideal standard pursued by actors.
The so-called "golden body ratio" refers to the ratio of height to weight, chest circumference, waist circumference, hip circumference and other parts to achieve an ideal balance. This ratio varies depending on the gender and age, but generally speaking, the golden ratio is 5:8 for women and 8:10 for men.
Actors who are at or near this ratio usually give the impression of coordination, elegance, and charisma, and are more likely to attract the audience's attention.
Body proportions have a key impact on character creation and drama selection.
Body proportions are crucial to an actor's character development. An actor with a well-proportioned body, whether in costume drama or modern drama, can control it freely and create a variety of roles.
Conversely, an actor with an unbalanced body ratio may be limited in the portrayal of certain roles, for example, an actor with a fat body and poor proportions may find it difficult to play the ancient chivalrous warrior of Yushu Linfeng or the modern urban elite of fashion trends.
The audience's aesthetic expectations for the proportions of the actors' figures
When appreciating film and television works, in addition to paying attention to the plot and acting skills, the audience will also unconsciously project their aesthetic expectations onto the actors. An actor with outstanding body proportions is more likely to gain the favor and recognition of the audience.
This invisible aesthetic pressure pushes actors to constantly pursue body management and image building in order to stand out in the highly competitive film and television industry.
In short, body proportion is like a dagger for actors, which can open the door to success, and those actors who can carefully manage their body and shape elegant proportions can usually get more opportunities and broader development space in the film and television industry.
On the contrary, actors with unbalanced body proportions may face a variety of restrictions and challenges, and this phenomenon is particularly common and worthy of attention in the contemporary film and television industry.
Yan Yikuan, who has a perfect appearance, has been troubled by the problem of body proportions.
Yan Yikuan has outstanding appearance and acting talent is also highly appreciated.
Yan Yikuan has a delicate face, with deep and three-dimensional facial features, as handsome as a Greek sculpture. His appearance advantages and excellent acting skills made him stand out early in the film and television industry.
With the role of "Qiao Feng" in the TV series "Dragon Babu", he was successfully shortlisted for the "Four Beauties of the World", and his popularity and popularity rose rapidly.
It is in stark contrast to the proportions of male actors such as Jiao Enjun and Huang Haibing.
However, when Yan Yikuan performed on the same stage with some male actors with outstanding body proportions, his shortcomings were exposed. For example, he once played Li Xunhuan in "Little Li Flying Knife", but compared with Jiao Enjun when he was young, Yan Yikuan obviously lacked the elegant temperament required by a knight in ancient costume.
For another example, he performed on the same stage with Huang Haibing in "The Princess of the World", and the difference in figure is even more obvious.
Yan Yikuan's body proportions have restrictions on his use in costume dramas, limiting his room for play.
Yan Yikuan's body proportions are the main reason for his limitations. He is about 1.8 meters tall, but relative to his height, his head is slightly larger and his neck is slightly shorter, and the overall ratio is close to 5:6, which is far from the 8:10 "golden ratio" common in costume dramas.
This has led to his limitations in shaping certain roles, especially in the role of costume heroes or generals, and it is often difficult to fully release his acting potential.
Yan Yikuan's self-awareness and his efforts to break through himself.
As an actor, Yan Yikuan is very aware of the limitations of his physical condition and all kinds of criticism of his figure from the outside world. However, he doesn't let this stop and insists on consistent fitness exercises and formal body management to create a more coordinated, toned body.
In addition, he is also more cautious in choosing roles, trying to choose roles that can highlight his strengths, and avoiding exposing his weaknesses This spirit of daring to face his physical limitations and challenging himself is undoubtedly a model worthy of learning from all actors.
Yan Yikuan's success tells us that the success of an actor not only depends on his external beauty, but also on his inner wisdom and hard work. Body proportions, while important, are not the decisive factor.
As long as the actor can face up to himself, accept his limitations, and continue to break through, he will definitely be able to walk out of a glorious road of his own on the road of performance.
In the film and television industry, there is a group of actresses who have exquisite faces and outstanding temperament, but the lack of body proportions limits their acting career. Among them, He Qing, Gillian and Ju Jingyi are representatives of this group.
He Qing: The helplessness of classical beauties in modern dramas
He Qing, a classical and modern actress, has a face like a fairy in a painting, eyebrows like spring water, and her gestures are full of style. However, such a woman with a collection of beauty and talent is often troubled by the limitations of body proportions in the performance of modern dramas.
He Qing is 1.64 meters tall, her body shape is a typical pear-shaped body, her hips and thighs are slightly plump, and the overall ratio is close to 5:5. This figure can still be covered up with a long skirt in costume dramas, but it is difficult to be fully competent in modern dramas.
He Qing once played the cheongsam beauty in "Shanghai Dancing Girl", but the audience was surprised to find that at the age of 25, she couldn't support the incongruity between the role and figure of a cheongsam, which undoubtedly limited He Qing's development in modern dramas.
Gillian: The truth about the body under the perfect face
Gillian, she has a delicate and small melon seed face and bright big eyes, and she has an excellent performance in "New A Chinese Ghost Story", which made her famous in one fell swoop. Although she shines on the big screen, she is also troubled by her height and short legs in reality.
Although Gillian's official height is displayed as 1.6 meters, when she shares the stage with some actresses, her height gap is very obvious. For example, when she took a photo with Asa who is 1.64 meters tall, the height disadvantage was obvious.
Gillian's fans often persuade her to lose weight, hoping to improve her body proportions, however, it turns out that simple weight loss cannot fundamentally change a person's body proportionsGillian's experience tells us that even with a perfect face, it is difficult to hide the shortcomings in the figure.
Ju Jingyi: The contrast between the queen of the red carpet and the newcomer to the theater
In the fashion circle, Ju Jingyi is known as the "Queen of the Red Carpet". She has a face that is extremely delicate and can bring visual enjoyment to every appearance on the red carpet. However, when she walked from the red carpet into the film and television crew, the shortcomings of her body proportions gradually appeared.
Ju Jingyi is only 1.59 meters tall, and it is a challenge to create a role, especially the heroine of a costume drama. In the Reuters of "Beautiful Scholar", in order to make up for the lack of height, the crew prepared height-increasing shoes for her.
In "The Legend of the New White Lady", Bai Suzhen played by her, because of her body proportions, she looks a little "small jasper", and it is difficult to fully interpret the charm of the thousand-year-old snake demon.
The experiences of these three actresses tell us that body proportions are a topic that actors can't avoid. Excellent body proportions can add points to an actor's performance, while an unbalanced body can be an obstacle to an actor's development.
In this era of looking at faces, how actors can break through the limitations of their bodies and create a fuller and three-dimensional screen image is a question worth pondering.
In the shadow of body proportions, the two actresses, Jiang Xin and Shen Yue, interpret the story of breakthrough and transformation in their own way.
Jiang Xin: Use acting skills and hard work to make up for the lack of figure.
Jiang Xin is an actress, her appearance is soft and satisfying, and her personality looks very gentle and demure. Jiang Xin is 168 cm tall, and although she has a pair of elf-like little eyes and an innocent and cute baby face, her figure is not so perfect.
Jiang Xin's shoulders are a little wider, and her waist is not very thin, and the overall aesthetic sense is much better than the 5:8 ratio.
Jiang Xin's figure often encounters difficulties when interpreting classical beauties. She once played the gentle Gu Manlu in "Half Life", and she made great efforts to better interpret this role.
She tries to lose weight and get in shape by controlling her diet and exercising, however, even so, her figure struggles to fully achieve the effeminate image that the role requires in front of the camera.
In the face of difficulties, Jiang Xin did not flinch, she knew that acting skills were an important asset for an actor. She devoted herself wholeheartedly to the emotional shaping of the role, and made up for the lack of figure with a delicate and nuanced performance.
Jiang Xin's dedication and hard work were finally recognized and praised by the audience.
Shen Yue has successfully reinvented her image with the help of fashion charm.
Shen Yue is a young actor with a delicate face and a unique temperament. She has a pair of big smart eyes and a sweet and lovely smile, giving people the intimacy of a girl next door.
However, in terms of body proportion, Shen Yue does not have an advantage, her height is only 1.60 meters, and the body ratio is close to 5:5, which is not outstanding in the film and television industry.
Shen Yue's figure disadvantage once became the focus of the topic when she starred in "Meteor Garden". The costumes chosen by the crew for her often do not flatter her body proportions well, but highlight her shortcomings.
Faced with this predicament, Shen Yue was not depressed, but actively sought change.
In subsequent works, Shen Yue began to try to reshape her image with the help of the power of fashion. In "The Beginning", the stylist carefully designed a series of oversize style clothes for her, which cleverly concealed her figure shortcomings, but instead highlighted her unique fashion charm.
Shen Yue's transformation has won her more attention and recognition.
The wisdom and courage shown by the two actresses in the face of physical difficulties.
Jiang Xin and Shen Yue, these two actors, one thanks to acting skills and the other to fashion, both found their own way to break through under the disadvantage of body proportions. Their experience tells us that body is not all about actors, but more importantly, how to tap their strengths and give full play to them.
In this era of looking at faces, the importance of body is self-evident, but for those actors whose body proportions are not perfect, the real wisdom is to accept their own shortcomings, face their own problems head-on, and on this basis, constantly tap their own potential and create their own unique charm.
This requires courage, perseverance, and an optimistic and never-give-up spirit.
Liu Yifei is definitely a bright pearl in the topic of the impact of body proportions on actors that we have to talk about. She is like a perfect work of art in the film and television industry, whether it is a delicate appearance or a perfect figure, she is the most ideal model in the hearts of actors.
Liu Yifei has the advantage of a naturally beautiful figure.
Liu Yifei is an actress who combines beauty and temperament, which is amazing. Her facial contours, three-dimensional facial features, bright eyes, straight nose, and slightly upturned corners of her mouth all exude elegance and agility.
And her figure is even more unforgettable, with well-proportioned lines, delicate skin and unique temperament, all adding more charm to her beauty.
She is as tall as 1.71 meters tall, and she stands out among many actresses. What's even more rare is that her body ratio is close to the perfect 5:8, with slender legs, slender waist, and just the right curve for every inch, all of which show the unique favor of God.
Whether in costume dramas or modern dramas, Liu Yifei can easily control various roles, and her outstanding body proportions undoubtedly add endless charm to her performance.
Liu Yifei's outstanding body proportions have played a role in promoting her acting career.
In "The Legend of Sword and Fairy", Liu Yifei was widely praised for her pure and lovely role as Zhao Ling'er. In "The Condor Heroes", Liu Yifei played the role of the little dragon girl who has both the secular and the fairy world, once again showing her acting skills.
In "Tongquetai", Liu Yifei plays Chen Ajiao, who attaches equal importance to resourcefulness and beauty, which once again proves her strength Liu Yifei's success is undoubtedly inseparable from her outstanding body proportions.
As an actor, Liu Yifei shows a confident and calm temperament, which can be called a role model.
Through these examples of actors, we begin to understand that the proportion of body sometimes plays a very important role in the success of an actor's career, but we also have to remind ourselves that body and appearance are only part of an actor, only determine the actor's external image, and the real actor's achievement is achieved through inner cultivation and superb acting skills.
However, we must also realize that not every actor can easily achieve a perfect body, and it is more important for actors with physical deficiencies to accept themselves and face their limitations.
For example, although Jiang Xin and Shen Yue are somewhat deficient in figure, they have been able to make significant breakthroughs in acting skills through continuous efforts and pursuits, and they have used their wisdom and courage to create their own unique charm.
As an excellent actor, you should not only be satisfied with the perfection of your external image, but also pursue the improvement of your inner cultivation. Only by continuously improving the level of acting skills and enriching life experience can we create a more three-dimensional and full artistic image in the performance.
In daily life, actors need to observe and think more, understand life with their hearts, and integrate these insights into their performance practice, constantly sharpen their skills, and use sincerity and wisdom to reach the soul of the character.
Overall, body proportions are only one factor in the success of an actor. A truly excellent actor can not only accept himself, but also make continuous breakthroughs on the basis of himself, and interpret the various forms of life with excellent acting skills.
This is a path full of challenges, but also a path full of hope and honor, and I hope that all the actors can find their own unique scenery on this road.
