Whether a drama can explode or not, the first thing that attracts the audience is the actor configuration.
Like Zhang Songwen, Zhang Yi, and Sun Li, they have already established a relationship of trust with the audience through their works or acting skills. No matter what the film and television drama they starred in, the audience will definitely look forward to the work.
The appeal of an actor is sometimes the key to determining whether a work is popular or not.
Actor Hu Ge has been outputting hits in the past two years, from "County Party Committee Compound" to "Flowers", Hu Ge has used his acting skills to grasp the texture of different themes.
With the achievements of Hu Singer holding many popular models, the audience always has a few filters for Hu Ge's film and television dramas.
But unexpectedly, it has only been half a year since "Flowers", and Hu Ge's "new cake" on the hot search has aroused the complaints of many netizens, this "new cake" is the new project "Tree of Life" of Noon Sunshine.
According to the revelations, Yang Zi and Hu Ge are about to cooperate with Noon Sunshine to create a Qinghai-Tibet Plateau-themed poverty alleviation drama, with the strength of Noon Sunshine, this drama is the quality of "Mountains and Seas" and "The World".
Not only that, the screenwriters of "Tree of Life" are all powerful, and among the masterpieces of screenwriters Wang Sanmao and Leizi, there are big hits in the circle "It's All Good", "Mountains and Seas" and "I Am Yu Huanshui".
And director Li Xue is also the trump card of Noon Sunshine, he has cooperated with director Kong Sheng many times before directing independently, including the "Langya Bang" series, now calculated, Li Xue and Hu Ge are also old acquaintances, after all, Hu Ge's hit drama "The Pretender" is a work directed by Li Xue independently, his strength is undoubted, "The Tree of Life" has such a team configuration, which also proves how fragrant this "cake" is.
But clicking on the hot search, it was all bad reviews, "Hu Ge is not suitable for acting in this type of drama, he doesn't look like a low-level person, he is easy to play", "I'm afraid of someone's yelling acting skills", and even some netizens sarcastically said, bluntly "It's Lei Jiayin who is here, and Yang Zi is also a fan." Don't let it go! Do you think that's the case? "The audience's reason for the bad reviews of this hot pie is very consistent, that is, the casting problem.
Hu Ge's temperament does not match, and he does not have the texture of the underlying characters
Those who know Hu Ge know that although Hu Ge has many popular styles, all the works that have really been recognized are not down-to-earth enough. In "Langya Bang", he is a strategist with excellent brainpower, in "The Pretender", he is a spy war male protagonist with a halo, and in "Flowers", he is a handsome and golden Bao.
These characters must have good looks and halos, Hu Ge's only attempt to keep a low profile in "The County Party Committee Compound", the score is not bad, but after watching the drama, you will find that Hu Ge himself really does not have the temperament of a grassroots cadre, even if his acting skills are in place, his appearance will still make people feel that he is playing.
Therefore, netizens will feel that Hu Ge does not have the temperament of a low-level person, and it is very inconsistent to appear in poverty alleviation dramas.
Even in "I Am a High Mountain", Hu Ge only made a shallow cameo appearance in a husband who died young, and was also bombarded by many netizens.
Speaking of which, it's not that Hu Ge's acting skills are not enough, it's that his temperament really has nothing to do with poverty alleviation dramas.
The appeal of the heroine's mainstream drama is insufficient, and her acting skills and status are difficult to evaluate
Yang Zi, as a traffic flower, is indeed very competitive in the 90 flowers, but her acting advantages are limited to the ancient puppet drama track. Even in the ancient puppet drama track, Yang Zi is difficult to convince the public.
After the launch of "Sauvignon Blanc 2", the rating went down, and the famous scenes marketed in the first season were only full of embarrassment after the second season was launched, and Yang Zi's heart-rending and yelling performance has now caused the audience's aesthetic fatigue.
It's not that Yang Zi's acting skills are too poor, it's the habits that Yang Zi has developed in the theme of ancient puppets over the years, which has led to the effect of industrial streamlining in her emotional shaping.
Moreover, Yang Zi's state is not stable. The period of "Fragrant Honey Sinks Like Frost" was the peak of Yang Zi's appearance, but Yang Zi's state in film and television dramas has not been natural in the past two years.
In "Sauvignon Blanc", her expression is stiff and her face is swollen. And "Sauvignon Blanc" is still Yang Zi's best work in the past two years.
"Love for a Long Time" and "Chenghuan Ji", which were launched in the first half of this year, have no splashes, and her modern drama style in the play is also indescribable, and she has many famous scenes in both dramas.
In "Love for a Long Time", she played a high school student and performed a sense of madness. In "The Story of Cheng Huan", the camera has a sense of aunt that can't be hidden.
Whether it is image or acting skills, Yang Zi, who has left the comfort zone of ancient puppets, makes the audience feel very dangerous, and to put it bluntly, it is difficult to say whether Yang Zi can tear off the routine of her idol drama performance in "The Tree of Life".
The issue of the position caused controversy, and Hu Ge withdrew from the stage, which was unattractive
On the mainstream drama track created by Noon Sunshine, whether Hu Ge is suitable or not, he is a character who takes on eye-catching highlights. This is like Hu Ge in "The Courtyard of the County Party Committee" is not a good match, but "The Courtyard of the County Party Committee" still exploded, whether the drama "Tree of Life" can attract the audience's attention in advance is all on Hu Ge alone.
But the script of "The Tree of Life" is essentially a big heroine, although noon masculine is the best at group portrait production, but Hu Ge is unlikely to match Yang Zi, if Hu Ge appears as a guest actor, it is not attractive enough.
In the various news currently circulating on the Internet, Yang Zi is in front of Hu Ge, and he did not forget to indicate in parentheses that "no fan position is involved", which is very confusing.
Moreover, Yang Zi and Hu Ge are completely actors from different tracks. The two of them have an awkward feeling in the same frame, and it is no wonder that many netizens are not surprised when they see this combination, but they are not optimistic.
Of course, before a drama officially determines the cast, all the news spread on the Internet cannot be confirmed. It is unknown whether there is a contact project, even if it is really Yang Zi's partner Hu Ge in the end, the final effect of the film cannot be predicted in advance.
In addition, Noon Sunshine has actually been very strict in casting, if it is not completely certain, the project of "Tree of Life", which properly wins the award, will definitely not be easily handed over to the traffic flower.
Perhaps after some contact, Yang Zi really adapted to the role. Maybe after "The Tree of Life" is launched, netizens will also be slapped in the face, and Yang Zi can successfully transform and prove her acting strength.
Among the many doubts, there are still some netizens on the hot search who expressed their expectations for the cooperation between the two, and a bold attempt may bring surprises.
