It has been 8 days since the official release of the movie "Lyceum Theatre", and the current evaluation of the film by netizens has shown polarization.
In the eyes of some netizens, "Lyceum Theatre" is like a scattered plate of sand, there is no clear main line, each character is shallow and stop, from the beginning to the end are not clear; while the other part of the audience is to Lou Ye's sign to see the movie, expressing satisfaction with his consistent shooting methods and visual style, and returning with pleasure.
Compared to the controversial word of mouth, the cast unexpectedly brought surprises. Yu Yan's actor Gong Li cooperated with Lou Ye for the first time, and unlike the roles she had played in the past, Yu Yan walked between good and evil, reality and drama, switching between different roles, gong Li made this role extremely abundant with superb acting skills.
Wang Chuanjun made his first appearance on the big screen since the 2018 movie "I Am Not a Medicine God", playing the role of Mo Zhiyin in the film, although it is only a supporting role, but it does not affect his wonderful appearance in the slightest. On the contrary, Zhao Youting, the actor of the male protagonist Tan Na, performed mediocrely this time, and even suspected of being robbed of the limelight by Wang Chuanjun.
This year is the 12th year of Zhao Youting's debut, looking at the drama inside and outside the play, "plain" seems to have become the most obvious feature of Zhao Youting in recent years.
The characters are bland
As Lou Ye said, instead of describing "Lyceum Theatre" as a spy film, he prefers it to be made into a character movie, a women's movie, and the protagonist he said is Yu Yan, a gorgeous female star.
The novel "The Death of Shanghai" also compares Yu Yan to a butterfly on a high-voltage power line, and the whole story takes place at the moment when the butterfly is electrocuted. Yu Yan seems to have returned to Shanghai to star in a drama directed by Tan Na, but in fact, as Hubert's adopted daughter, she has caused various forces to pay close attention to her movements and complete a series of impossible tasks.
But Yu Yan is lucky, although she finally became an out-of-control chess piece, she still got the opportunity to retreat from the whole body; at the same time, Yu Yan is also unfortunate, she did not sacrifice for the national righteousness, but for love, died in the dating bar. Thankfully, at that moment she was accompanied by her lover Tan Na.
In the description of the original work, Tan Na, who has the dual identity of drama director and Yu Yan's lover, seems to be more like a tool man. In the whole storyline, Tan Na did not play any key role, but maintained a lover relationship with Yu Yan. This is why compared with the three-dimensional fullness of other characters, Tan Na's character image will appear bland and thin.
The career is uneventful
If there is no "Lyceum Theatre", Zhao Youting's last masterpiece can be called a masterpiece, or the 2017 TV series "Three Lives and Three Worlds and Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms".
In the play, Zhao Youting plays the two characters of Ye Hua and Mo Yuan, although they share a face, their personalities are completely different, so in this regard, the professional skills of the actors are particularly tested. Fortunately, Zhao Youting did not disappoint the audience, and with his excellent acting skills, he let everyone distinguish the difference between the two, and successfully opened the mainland market.
In fact, in the early days of Zhao Youting's debut, what he was good at was not this kind of ancient puppet drama, but a literary and art film that tested his acting skills more.
In 2009, Zhao Youting starred in his first TV series work "Hero of the Leper", in which he played the fighting master Wu Yingxiong and sang the theme song "Rogue Justice" for the play. At the same time, zhao Youting was nominated for the Best Actor Award at the 16th Shanghai TV Festival Magnolia Award for his performance in the film, and won the Best Actor Award at the 44th Taiwan Television Golden Bell Awards.
The following year, he won the Asian Film Awards for Best New Actor again for the film "Mengxia". For a fledgling newcomer, such a starting point is not low, but Zhao Youting is very unfortunate to be at the end of the wave of Taiwanese literary and art films.
With the rapid development of the mainland entertainment industry in recent years, coupled with the mainland film and television production companies gradually realized that the film ultimately depends on quality, not traffic, a variety of favorable treatment and good environment let many insiders return to the mainland to develop, resulting in Taiwan's cultural and entertainment market shrinking day by day.
It was during this period that Zhao Youting returned to the mainland to develop, but in these years, in addition to "Three Lives and Three Worlds and Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms", there are not many works that can be called masterpieces. As for the high-profile "Qingya Collection", it was criticized by countless audiences on the day of release, and more netizens bluntly said that this is a movie that must be missed.
Highlight moments in life
In the recently launched variety show "The Last Winner", Zhao Youting and Qin Xiaoxian smiled at each other when they first met: I heard that you like my wife? Although it was just a joke, at that moment, Qin Xiaoxian was like the epitome of Gao Yuanyuan's countless fans, and when he met Zhao Youting's love enemy, he was extremely red-eyed.
In 2012, the first year of Zhao Youting's return to the mainland, he and Gao Yuanyuan became acquainted with Gao Yuanyuan during the filming of the movie "Search"; in 2014, the news that Gao Yuanyuan and Zhao Youting announced their marriage made many men say that they had "lost love". Since then, Zhao Youting's name has been deeply tied to Gao Yuanyuan.
When the love affair of the star is no longer a "flood beast", the entertainment industry star CP (couple or couple) works together to work hard, not only to prove the sentence that the combination of men and women, the work is not tired, but also produces the effect of one plus one equals two. The endless flow of traffic, in the end, is transformed into a solid interest.
Maybe it shouldn't be said, but looking at Zhao Youting's debut resume, he has been dazzling because of his identity as an actor, but unfortunately, the highlight moment in his life is only to marry Gao Yuanyuan.
