Yesterday's Golden Globes don't know if there are any friends to pay attention to.
It's quite a milestone.
Not only was it hosted by Asians for the first time, but it was also the first time that the aftermath was awarded to Asians.
And this remarkable Asian is the actress Wu Shanzhuo, who has been ridiculed and bumped into Lin Yongjian before.
Lin Yongjian also appeared on the hot search for the news that praised Wu Shanzhuo's award.
Listening to the name, many people may think that Wu Shanzhuo is of Chinese descent.
Not really.
Ms. Wu, 48, is a Korean Canadian.
Since 1994, he has been active in the European and American film and television circles.
Previously, she had won the Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actress for Christina Young in "Grey's Anatomy" and was nominated for an Emmy award six times.
For an Asian actor, the hardships behind being able to make such achievements in the European and American entertainment circles can be imagined.
Everyone knows that even in today's Hollywood, racial discrimination still exists.
In an interview, Wu Shanzhuo once said that she could not have been exposed to this opportunity to tell herself in front of the camera before.
However, she believes that changing such a social environment should not rely on external feedback, but should start from its own practical actions.
Hollywood is like a scumbag who will never give you a response, so why wait?
It is better to go out alone or call a girlfriend to go outside.
Over the years, Sandra Wu has been actively fighting for the rights of the Asian community, and she also believes that this is her noble goal and great responsibility to pursue this cause.
If we want to change, we have to start with ourselves.
Of course, these efforts were not in vain.
She is watching the living environment of Asian groups in Europe and the United States change little by little.
For example, she finally received a good script like "Kill Eve" and was still the role of the heroine.
The character in the novel is originally set up as a white man.
Who would have thought that the Golden Globes would award such an important award to an Asian actor?
It is also for this reason that at the moment of the award, Wu Shanzhuo will excitedly interview in the background:
"I know I'm the first person of color to host the Golden Globes, and I know what that means."
"For Asian children, it's a great accomplishment to make their parents happy."
For the Asian community, Sandra Wu is a historical presence.
However, in China, everyone only paid attention to her bumping face Lin Yongjian.
She even went to judge her appearance that didn't quite fit the domestic aesthetic.
After thinking about it, how sad.
Suppose That Sanzhuo Wu is in the Chinese film and television drama market, what will she encounter?
Either the setting itself is old and ugly;
Either it is a mother-in-law or an N-fan female match who cannot be ranked;
Or are comedy characters that can only be funny...
Other than that?
Is acting good and useful?
She will never get such a rich and wonderful role as the heroine of "Kill Eve".
After all, even an actress like Yao Chen, who has just reached 40 and even maintains a young posture, is experiencing the embarrassment and confusion brought to her by the market.
Jiang Wenli, an old drama bone, has long begun to face the situation of "the drama she found does not want to pick up, and the drama she wants to take cannot be performed".
"The Midlife Crisis of Domestic Actresses".
In recent years, this topic has been repeatedly moved out of the way and become a cliché.
But the status quo has not changed in any way.
What are the middle-aged actresses around the age of 40 in China acting?
Zhou Xun, no matter how good her acting skills are in "Ruyi Zhuan", the topics on hot searches will always revolve around swelling and aging.
Yan Ni, and 13-year-old Hu Ge, acted in a love drama and was ridiculed as "mother-child love".
Ma Yili, who starred in "Kitakami Hiroshi Doesn't Believe in Tears" after childbirth, the audience only noticed her postpartum figure.
Yang Mingna, who began to play Yang Mi's "Tree Demon Grandmother" at the age of 28, played the master and mother of male actors of the same age at the age of 37.
Chen Shu, 39 years old, plays the mother of 26-year-old Lu Han.
Song Dandan, was called mother-in-law by Zhang Jiayi, who was 9 years younger than himself.
The opportunities left for these middle-aged actresses are pitiful.
They are being expelled from the market by public opinions such as aging and out-of-shape, coupled with the monotony of the script caused by only staring at the traffic, if these actresses still want to act, they can only compromise.
Either go to idol dramas and urban romance dramas to play the next generation of mother-in-law mothers, or give up the discussion of mainstream audiences in their twenties and thirties to accept the parents who are more liked by the audiences of 40 or 50 years old.
However, in Europe and the United States, the 48-year-old Wu Sandra can still receive scripts like "Killing Eve".
Female politicians, female lawyers, female doctors, female astronauts, female presidents, fashion witches...
The roles available for middle-aged actresses to choose from are so rich, so diverse.
Looking at Japan and South Korea, which are closer to us, middle-aged actresses are also the mainstay of the market.
Let's start with South Korea:
Kim Nam-joo, 47 years old, starred in "The Mist".
The plot tells the middle-aged heroine's various choices between careers, families, and when she is involved in a murder case.
Kim Nam-joo in this play is an absolute big woman figure.
One of her most famous lines is:
"Living to this day, this kind of dead end I have encountered several times, unable to move forward, unable to retreat, I have never escaped."
"Absolutely a positive breakthrough, either I break or you break, and every time I don't lose."
Compared with Chen Shu and Lu Han, who are 13 years apart in China, who can only play mother and son, or Yan Ni and Hu Ge are ridiculed for "mother-child love", Li Baoying and Li Zhongshuo, who are 11 years old, have become national CP because of "Hear Your Voice".
Let's look at Japan:
In 2008, the 41-year-old Tenkai Yuki waited for "Woman Forty".
The plot focuses on the life twists faced by 40-year-old women.
And the value it conveys is that standing on the edge of 40 years old, women still have many sparkling choices and highlights.
"Sage Love", 70 years old actress with 93 years of small fresh meat.
It is a story about 20 years of hidden tolerance, and the female protagonist uses the male protagonist to take revenge on the male protagonist's mother.
There is also last year's widely watched "We Can't Be Beasts".
Rinko Kikuchi, 37, starred as a dashing costume designer.
And she is the person that the heroine who lives in the condom envies and wants to be.
--------------------------
Middle-aged, compared with youth, has a richer experience, more profound accumulation, and a more mature understanding of the world.
What should have been the most suitable age for interpreting the role has fallen into the most embarrassing situation for various reasons.
"Half Life" set Liu Jialing to play her sister Man Lu, even if Liu Jialing said that only her age can perform thousands of styles and sorrows, netizens still grasp the matter of age, mocking this drama will become "The Second Half of Life".
What exactly caused the situation of middle-aged actresses being abandoned?
It is the aesthetic unity led by the erased fine lines and stretched figures, which are overly refined and beautiful pictures;
And the monolithicization of the script led by an over-commercialized market that only cares about traffic and only pursues profits.
However, the popularity of "The Character of a Lady" at that time also meant that audiences were craving more dimensional stories and less faceted characters.
While no one knows when this status quo will be changed, it is brought up again and again, which may mean that there is still a possibility of change.
Last sentence
Hopefully, middle-aged actresses don't wait too long.
