Recently, I brushed up Bell's "Big Red Packet".
I'm sorry, during the release of the movie, I didn't go to see it when I was frantically brushing the screen. Looking at the Douban score, I really can't summon up the courage to look at it.
Rating: 4.8. It's a long way from the passing line.
However, this did not affect the box office of the film, and it still exceeded 200 million in the end.
I checked the reason and really found it.
It's because of the heroine in the movie: Clara.
That's right, it's her.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="9">01</h1>
In 1986, Clara was born into an artistic family, and her father Li Shengkui, uncle Li Yongkui, and aunt Li Aishu were all members of the Koryana group.
People like to use "natural beauty" to describe a person's appearance, and Clara deserves the reputation of these four words. In fact, Clara is also one of the beauties chosen by the Korean audience.
In 2004, at the age of 18, Clara won the first place in South Korea's first online beauty photo contest, and in this era of plastic surgery, there are very few natural beauties, especially in South Korea, a country with first-class scalpels.
At that time, it was not a sexy actress route, and her figure and appearance were far less good-looking than now, at most it was the word "Qingli", and Jin Hee-sun was somewhat similar.
In 2005, he returned to South Korea with his father, who had been touring overseas for many years, signed a contract with an agency, and officially entered the show business circle. In 2006, he completed his first TV series "Transparent Human Beings Choi Chang-so", the role was insignificant, and did not cause much repercussions.
After several years of going around in the entertainment industry, I found a "breakthrough point" in 2009. Partnered with Song Joong-ki in "Five Senses Map", and starred as high school student Yoon-jing in the fifth paragraph.
Song Joong-ki and Clara both went out of the circle with this movie, but each went a different way. Song Joong-ki soared all the way on the road of acting, and in 2016, he starred in "Descendants of the Sun" and became the "male god" of countless fans, reaching the peak of his career. Clara, on the other hand, went farther and farther on the sexy route, and finally it was difficult to stop.
Clara has not sought a breakthrough, and has starred in dramas such as "A Good Day with the Wind", "Childlike Beauty", "Please, Captain" and so on, but has always been tepid.
Instead, in 2013, with a set of sexy photos, there was another wave of discussion.
This year, the Korean Professional Baseball Championship began, a tight-fitting Clara on the field, sexy and seductive wear, bumpy figure instantly attracted a lot of attention.
The result of the ball game, not much attention, but Clara gained a lot of popularity, fame soared.
The following year, Clara appeared in mode2 fashion magazine, jumping to second place in the 100 most beautiful actresses in the world, beating beyoncé, Angelina Jolie and other well-known actresses.
The name of "Asia's first beauty" has also gone away, becoming the pride of Koreans.
Of course, along with fame comes the superposition of resources. Many film and television companies have thrown "olive branches" to Clara. Co-starred with Song Zhixiao and Li Bimo in "Emergency Doctor".
After that, she has starred in films such as "Working Girl" and "Prince Goki", and won the Asian Leap Actress Award in 2016
Originally in the show business debut of the actress, was ridiculed as a vase is not a few, when Maggie Cheung debuted, was also ridiculed by the Hong Kong audience as a "vase actor", but with excellent acting skills, fiercely beat those who are not optimistic about her audience, won the Hong Kong Academy Awards "Queen" many times, but also a bad breath.
Clara can also go this way, constantly honing her acting skills, but Clara has gone a different way.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="27">02</h1>
After becoming a popular actress in South Korea, Clara had the idea of job hopping in her heart, but it was not easy to jump ship, and if the contract was not full, she would face high liquidated damages.
Such a situation, Zhang Yuqi and Huang Shengyi have encountered. Zhang Yuqi successfully terminated the contract with the help of Wang Quan'an, lost money and left, and later was invited by Zhou Xingchi to star in "The Mermaid", while Huang Shengyi did not hesitate to tear his face with Zhou Xingchi, and finally with the help of Yangzi, compensated for liquidated damages. Since then, he and Zhou Xingchi have become enemies, and they have not interacted with each other.
Clara took an "unusual road", and in order to understand the appointment, she directed herself to perform a "sexual assault" drama, accusing the company's 60-year-old president of sexually harassing herself.
Needless to say, this trick really works. As a vulnerable group, Clara won a lot of sympathy from the Korean people, and Clara also terminated the contract, but at the opening of the trial, a set of chat pictures was exposed, completely shattering Clara's image of the weak. In the screenshot of the chat, Clara is dressed in revealing clothes and tries to "induce the president in an alternative way", but the president does not comply, and Clara is annoyed and angry, so she has a complaint.
Clara's popularity plummeted overnight in South Korea, and although she reached a settlement with the company and successfully terminated her contract, in South Korea, Clara was almost unable to mix.
After that, Clara began to project her career focus to Hong Kong, China. Reputation is out, Wang Jing naturally will not let go of such a "good seedling", in 2016, decisively invited her and Gu Tianle to co-starred in the movie "Apostle Walker". Taking the sexy route is still going, as soon as it comes on, it charms Gu Tianle with a sexy body.
In the same year, the "Love Saint" starred in was released in Chinese mainland.
Some people have to ask: Isn't this year the Korean restriction order arrived? Why is Clara still on the big screen in China?
However, if you look at it, you will find that Clara is a British citizen and has not been affected at all.
In the film, pure and lustful, a set of cos Marilyn Monroe shots, so that many straight men's eyes widened.
It is indeed an irresistible temptation.
Playful, cute, in the film, Xiao Yang is difficult to resist such a charm, to the outside of the play, Clara has also become the "darling" of many video creators, frequently appearing in the vibrato small videos, the exposure has soared.
In 2018, Bao Bell directed and acted in "Fat Agent Team", completed the first cooperation with Clara, and the Douban score was lower than that of "Big Red Packet", and only got a "good score" of 4.2 points.
But the box office is not bad, and it has also exceeded 200 million. Why?
Some say, or Clara. As long as she twists and turns in the film and shakes it, there are still many straight male audiences who are willing to pay for it.
In "Silent Witness", the partner film emperor Zhang Jiahui, it can be seen that Clara also wants to seek a breakthrough in acting skills and an image breakthrough, however, unfortunately, the black old daughter who starred in the role has almost no lines and has become a "decoration". Perhaps, the director is only thinking about the role of the vase.
In January this year, partners Wu Mengda, Bao Jianfeng and other old drama bones starred in "Chang'an Fu Demon", which was still stunningly beautiful and unforgettable.
But even the director Li Lizhi, who made Zhou Xingchi popular, still became a bad film with a bad reputation, and the Douban score hovered a little more than 4 points.
In the show business circle, eating youth rice and eating the dividend of beauty is the choice of a female actress, but in the era when youth does not bear the burden and beauty mushrooms like mushrooms, how long can Clara's beauty dividend be eaten?
I hope she can also successfully transform and find her own acting "highlight moment".
