In 2024, domestic dramas often have situations where actors and characters do not match.
In dramas such as "Sauvignon Blanc 2", "Desert Wind Yin", "Faint Fire", there are actors with ordinary appearance but playing beauties.

However, "Flowers Bloom Like a Dream" is even more "thunderous" to a new height.
Dong Jie, 43 years old, challenged to play a 20-year-old girl in the play, her sparse hairline and obvious nasolabial folds are no girlish compared with the female group performance.
In the play, Xian played by her started a bloody love and was pursued by the greasy Meng Yunong played by Zhang Jiayi, and the two also had a large-scale plot.
Appearance controversy
In recent years, the setting of the role of "beauty" in domestic dramas seems to be becoming more and more eclectic, but at the same time, the gap between the appearance of actors and characters has become increasingly prominent.
Yang Zi in "Sauvignon Blanc 2", Hanikezi in "Desert Wind Yin" and Tong Yao in "Faint Fire" are all typical examples of being pushed to the forefront by netizens because their appearance does not match the label of "beauty".
Although these actors have their own performances in the play, they obviously failed to meet the expectations of some audiences for their appearance when creating the role of "beauty".
However, compared with these actors, what is even more difficult for the audience to accept are those actors who have entered middle age or even old age, but still forcibly play young girls.
The image of this kind of actor in the play is often greasy, with a face full of frozen meat, which is far from the word "girl".
They still have to work hard to create a youthful and girlish temperament in front of the camera, but the result is naturally counterproductive, making the audience shout "Isn't it really embarrassing?" ”
"Flowers Bloom Like a Dream"
If the above-mentioned controversy over the appearance of the actors is just a microcosm of the casting problem of domestic dramas, then the drama "Flowers Bloom Like a Dream" can be said to push this problem to the extreme.
In this drama, the girl character played by Dong Jie is incompatible with the word "girl" in terms of appearance and temperament.
The sparse hairline, obvious nasolabial folds, and vicissitudes of life in the eyes make it hard to believe that this is the image of a young girl.
Especially when Dong Jie stands with the female group actors in the play, this contrast is particularly strong.
The problem of appearance is only the tip of the iceberg that the drama "Flowers Bloom Like a Dream" has been complained about.
In terms of plot, the show also has many criticisms.
In the play, the love line between Dong Jie's character and Meng Yunong was described by the audience as a bloody plot that "ruined the three views".
From pregnancy and abandonment to various emotional entanglements, this drama covers almost every conceivable element of dog blood.
And the setting of Wang Lin and Dong Jie playing mother and daughter in the play makes the audience call "spicy eyes".
The two stand together, more like "little sisters" than mother and daughter, and the only difference seems to be the Barbie pink lipstick on Dong Jie's mouth.
In addition, Zhang Jiayi's image in the play is also controversial.
The character he played was described by the audience as a "greasy scumbag", and Zhang Jiayi himself seems to have become a professional in this kind of role.
This stereotype on the image not only made the audience question his acting skills, but also greatly reduced his image in the minds of the audience.
The dilemma of values
The controversy caused by the drama "Flowers Bloom Like a Dream" is not only a complaint about the appearance and plot of the actors, but also a question of the values of domestic dramas.
In today's society, young people's demand for film and television works is no longer just entertainment and pastime, they want to draw positive values and positive energy from their works.
Works like "Flowers Bloom Like a Dream" often give people a feeling of "no nutrition".
In terms of casting, domestic dramas always seem to be difficult to get rid of the strange circle of "pretending to be tender".
Whether it is a middle-aged actor forcibly playing a girl, or a young actor deliberately pretending to be old for the role, this setting that does not match the age of the character makes the audience feel uncomfortable.
In terms of plot, domestic dramas always seem to be keen on creating various bloody plots to attract the audience's attention.
This kind of vulgar plot setting not only fails to enhance the artistic value of the work, but also has a negative impact on the audience's aesthetics.
So, when will domestic dramas get out of this dilemma of "dog blood" and "pretending to be tender"? Perhaps, this requires a multifaceted approach.
On the one hand, the producer needs to pay more attention to the polishing of the script and the setting of the role to ensure the adaptability between the actor and the role.
On the other hand, the audience also needs to improve their aesthetic level and maintain a clear understanding and rational attitude towards those vulgar and bloody works.
Only in this way can domestic dramas stand out in the fierce market competition and bring more high-quality works to the audience.
In the development process of domestic dramas, the problem of adaptability between actors and characters has always been an unavoidable topic.
From the early "vase" actors to today's "appearance controversy", this problem never seems to have been truly resolved.
With the improvement of the audience's aesthetic level and the change of market demand, domestic dramas must face up to this problem and seek solutions.
Otherwise, in the fierce market competition, those works that cannot meet the expectations of the audience will eventually be eliminated.
Back to the drama "Flowers Bloom Like a Dream" itself, the controversy it caused may only be a microcosm of the problems in casting and plot of domestic dramas.
But it is these controversies and complaints that let us see the challenges and dilemmas faced by domestic dramas in the development process.
Only by facing up to these problems and actively seeking solutions can domestic dramas go further and more stable on the road of development in the future.
In the coming days, we look forward to seeing more excellent domestic drama works come out.
These works should not only strive for excellence in actor casting and plot setting, but also play a greater role in conveying positive values and positive energy.
Only in this way can domestic dramas truly win the love and recognition of the audience and become a beautiful business card for Chinese culture to go global.
