Nowadays, in the entertainment industry, a "slimming storm" is brewing, and many celebrities have embarked on a difficult road to lose weight in order to meet the so-called "white and thin" aesthetic standards. This trend has not only changed their image, but has had a profound impact on the aesthetics of society as a whole.
Once upon a time, people admired the graceful figure and plump and moderate posture. However, with the rise of the "white, young and thin" aesthetic, it seems that only the sense of bone can ascend to the hall of elegance.
In order to cater to this aesthetic, celebrities do not hesitate to adopt various extreme weight loss methods, some have become skinny bones, some have become walking skeletons, some have become rib men, some have even become paper people, and some are as thin as aliens!.
Such a phenomenon is becoming more and more common in the entertainment industry, and people can't help but sigh: What kind of pressure makes these originally radiant stars torture their bodies so much? When the camera focuses on them, we no longer see bright smiles and energetic lights, but haggard faces and fragile bodies.
Take Jin Chen as an example, this actress who was born as a dancer has a very well-proportioned figure. However, she still embarked on the path of excessive weight loss. The contents of her diet menu are jaw-dropping: only one strawberry in the morning, one cucumber at noon, and no at all in the evening.
Even during the Spring Festival, she only dared to eat two dumplings, which obviously could not meet the normal nutrients required by the human body.
Similarly, in order to create a perfect image in "A Thousand Mountains and Twilight Snow", Yinger chose to take diet pills. Lu Yu was even more extreme to the point that he only ate ten grains of rice at a meal, and he had to count them one by one.
These behaviors fully reflect the heavy price paid by celebrities in pursuit of "perfect bodies".
However, we can't help but ask: is the price paid for the pursuit of "perfection" really worth it? When health is subordinated to aesthetics, when natural beauty is distorted into pathological thinness, should we re-examine our aesthetic standards? This "slimming storm" is not only a test of the celebrities' bodies, but also a deep reflection on the aesthetics of the entire society.
In the weight contest in the entertainment industry, some celebrities have taken extreme weight loss methods, which is jaw-dropping. Their story allows us to see the hardships and costs behind the pursuit of a "perfect body".
Jin Chen's weight loss path can be described as one of the most extreme cases in the entertainment industry. As an actor who maintains a well-proportioned figure after being a dancer, she once played the cute crescent moon in "Heartless Mage", which left a deep impression on the audience.
However, she embarked on the path of extreme weight loss.
Jin Chen's diet for weight loss is shocking: eat only one strawberry in the morning, a cucumber at noon, and not even anything at night. Even on traditional festivals like the Spring Festival, she only eats two dumplings at most.
She laughed at herself, saying, "It's not enough for me to stuff my teeth," and in order to further control her appetite, she even eats a popsicle before eating as a way to reduce her appetite.
Surprisingly, Jin Chen's approach to weight loss is more than just controlling his diet. She would also apply chili paste to her body, wrap her in plastic wrap, put on thick clothes, and run in the scorching sun until she was sweating profusely.
This kind of almost masochistic behavior makes her figure visibly thinner, her chest ribs are faintly visible, some people even say that she is so thin that even the Adam's apple comes out, looking at Jin Chen's increasingly thin figure, people can't help but worry: What is such extreme weight loss for?
Yinger's weight loss road started with a diet pill, in order to create a perfect image in "A Thousand Mountains and Twilight Snow". However, the rebound effect of the drug caused her weight to soar from more than 80 pounds to more than 120 pounds.
Faced with the audience's doubts and ridicule, Ying'er fell into deep self-doubt.
This experience made Ying'er determined to lose weight, and she began a more extreme diet: sometimes she didn't eat all day and drank water when she was hungry; When I couldn't help it, I dipped the old godmother with chopsticks, and just let the tip of my tongue taste a hint of saltiness, and it was regarded as having eaten.
Although this extreme dieting method made her lose weight rapidly, it also brought serious side effects Ying'er during that period, the whole face was yellow and thin, the skin collapsed, the ribs on the chest were distinct, and her mental state became very poor.
Lu Yu's weight loss process is shocking, in order to maintain her figure, she only eats ten grains of rice at every meal, and she has to measure them one by one. She claims that this is done for a "sense of ritual", but this behavior is clearly beyond the scope of normal weight loss.
This almost masochistic behavior eventually led her to suffer from anorexia and face food, she lost her former interest in food, and became uninterested in all food.
Lu Yu's body is gradually getting thinner, as if the wind can blow it away, her short hair and fluffy head are even bigger, and the whole person looks uncoordinated. Some people also described her as like a head installed in the later stage, which is a little weird no matter how you look at it.
The painful struggle of these stars to lose weight in extreme ways allows us to see the truth behind weight loss. They fight against their bodies through hunger, with their will and desires, and even at the cost of their health in order to show off their so-called "perfect body".
However, when the skin and flesh are lost and only the skeleton remains, we can't help but reflect: Is such "beauty" really worth exchanging for health? When we see these scrawny "walking skeletons", is it time to reflect on our aesthetic standards and redefine true beauty?
In the "slimming storm" that is prevalent in the entertainment industry, artists who take dance as their profession occupy a special position. Their stories reveal the contradictions and struggles between artistic pursuits and body management, allowing us to see the sharpness and danger of this double-edged sword.
Wu Jinyan began to learn ballet at the age of 6, and laid the groundwork for this. As a small ballet dancer, she began to be strict about her figure very early.
At the age of 10, when other children were still enjoying food carefree, Wu Jinyan had already begun to systematically learn ballet, and at the same time, she also developed the habit of dieting, which was a long-term dietary control, which had an irreparable impact on her body during the growth stage when she needed nutrition the most.
Although Wu Jinyan's role as Wei Yingluo in "Yanxi Raiders" has attracted much attention, her low weight has aroused the audience's concern. On set, while the other actors feasted, she relied on a small loaf of bread to keep her hunger off.
This extreme eating habit made her seriously underweight, and her whole person was almost thin into "ribs".
Wu Jinyan's slimming photos went viral on the Internet, to the point of unbelievable. Once, on the show, she just waved hello, but the ring flew out because her finger was too thin.
Such a small episode made people start to worry about her health Netizens have said that she is so thin that she is almost unable to see her ribs.
There are similarities between Jin Chen and Wu Jinyan's experiences. They are all dancers and have beautiful figures. In "Heartless Mage", the crescent moon played by Jin Chen is a round-faced girl, very cute.
However, the aura on stage did not bring her self-confidence, but made her more obsessed with the pursuit of a "perfect" body.
Claire Kim's extreme approach to weight loss raises the question: does the dancer's elegant image really need to be maintained in such an extreme way? Not only did she strictly control her diet, but she even smeared her body with chili cream, wrapped her in plastic wrap, and wore thick clothes to run under the scorching sun.
This almost masochistic behavior has made her figure visibly thinner, and every rib on her chest has been faintly visible.
The stories of these dancers make us deeply understand the contradiction between artistic pursuit and health. Dance requires beautiful lines, but excessive pursuit of thinness may lose the power and beauty of dance.
When art collides with health, should we revisit our aesthetic standards?
Looking at the dancers who have sacrificed their health for the sake of art, we can't help but ask: does the true meaning of art really need to be interpreted in such an extreme way? When behind the elegance on the stage, the destruction of the body is hidden, can such art still be called beautiful? Perhaps, it is time to redefine beauty in the art of dance, let health and elegance coexist, and let art return to its essential beauty.
In the film and television industry, an actor's figure is closely related to the role he creates. However, the excessive pursuit of "perfect body" can sometimes become a burden on acting and bring unexpected troubles to the work.
This phenomenon has become more and more obvious in recent years, which makes us have to think: is acting acting more important, or is body more important?
Yinger's role in the drama "A Thousand Mountains and Twilight Snow" is a case, in order to better fit the image of the character, she took a quick approach before filming - she lost weight in a hurry and chose to take diet pills.
At first, the weight loss pills made her lose weight quickly, but during the shooting, after she stopped taking the diet pills, the rebound effect began to appear, and the weight gradually regained.
The audience was surprised to find that the heroine in the play slowly changed from thin to round, and in the end she was even complained about "like an aunt". This change in body shape not only affects the coherence of the characters, but also shifts the audience's attention from the plot to comments on the actor's figure.
Some people say that how the director chooses the actors, it doesn't fit the character at all.
Faced with the flood of doubts, Ying'er was tormented in her heart. She wanted to show her acting skills with this work, but she was caught in the whirlpool of public opinion because of her figure. This experience not only became an important reason for her extreme weight loss later, but also made her deeply realize the importance of body management in the film and television industry.
And Zhou Dongyu, with the advantage of his thin figure, was 30 years old at the time, but he could easily play the role of a girl. In "July and Ansheng", her acting skills won unanimous praise from the audience.
However, behind this "advantage", it is frightening: she is 162cm tall, and her weight is only 74 pounds when she weighs at the lightest, and the heaviest weight is only 88 pounds.
Zhou Dongyu explained that he did not deliberately lose weight, but because he was lactose intolerant, he could not eat many foods at all, and could only eat vegetables and some grains. Although this explanation seems reliable, the weight of 74 pounds is indeed low for adult women.
These cases let us understand that the figure of an actor is not only a personal issue in film and television works, but also directly affects the shaping of the character and the experience of the audience. However, when the pursuit of "perfect body" evolves into an overdraft of health, and when thinness becomes a measure of acting skills, we should indeed reflect: is it the appearance of the actors or the emotions and stories they convey that are more moving?
The extreme weight loss behavior of celebrities not only poses a hidden danger to their health, but also directly changes their appearance. This change will even subvert the audience's perception of them, from the once glamorous to the current skinny, which is distressing.
Yang Ying's changes in stature are significant and eye-catching. In the early days, as a tender model, although she was slender, the fleshy area was still plump, making the whole look well-proportioned and coordinated.
However, with her pursuit of a "thinner" figure, the Yang Ying we see has become a different look: her ribs have become the most conspicuous part of the skeleton, and her chest is almost flat, like a skeleton wrapped in cloth.
What is even more regrettable is that excessive weight loss has led to the deterioration of her facial condition. Wrinkles on her face have increased, and her facial muscles have sagging, making the young actress look much haggard.
The sharp chin makes her whole person like a "bone frame covered in human skin", plus Yang Ying is not very tall, thin and small, as long as she wears some loose clothes, she is a bit like a middle school student with a sack on her body.
Wu Jinyan's situation is equally worrying. Her extremely thin figure not only makes her look very fragile under the camera, but also causes a lot of inconvenience in daily life. In one episode, she caused her ring to fly out just by waving her hand, a small episode that raised concerns about her health.
Jin Chen's change is also very significant, he now looks thin, and his sternum and ribs are clearly visible, from the cute and round crescent moon in "Heartless Mage" to the present, this transformation is very surprising.
Some even say that she is so thin that even the Adam's apple is clearly visible, which is undoubtedly a clear sign of excessive weight loss for a woman.
Lu Yu's image is surprising. The hair is short and fluffy, which makes the head appear extraordinarily large, and the overall look is extremely uncoordinated. Some people even described her head as looking weird as if it was installed later.
Her body is a "walking skeleton", and the only part of her body that still has some flesh is her face.
Looking at those glorious stars in the past, but now they have become skinny due to excessive weight loss, we can't help but ask: can such a change really make them more attractive? When the camera is focused on them, does the viewer see a shining starlight or a distressing vulnerability? Excessive pursuit of thinness not only harms health, but may also make them lose their true beauty.
This "slimming storm" that swept the entertainment industry allows us to see the price of celebrities pursuing a "perfect body". However, is true beauty only in a bony figure?
Let's recall Yang Guifei played by Zhou Jie, her figure is not thin, but perfectly interprets Yang Guifei's grace and luxury with a plump posture. Zhou Jie's restoration of Yang Guifei's amazing beauty has reached the extreme, as if it is the reproduction of Yang Guifei in the modern world we live in.
This tells us that beauty is pluralistic and should not be bound by a single standard.
Obviously, it's not just thin that defines beauty, fat can also be beautiful. It's time to rethink our sense of beauty. Health and self-confidence are the true beauty. Let's advocate for a healthier, more diverse aesthetic that allows everyone to show their charm in a comfortable and healthy state, rather than hurting their body in order to conform to a certain aesthetic standard.
