In the costume emotional drama "Jun Jiuling", which is based on the novel of the same name, the 28-year-old actor Jin Han plays Zhu Zhan, and the setting in the play is the uninhibited, humorous, and military general Cheng Guo gong shizi who guards the frontier with his father.
However, as soon as the drama aired in September, Jin Han was once ridiculed by the group because it did not conform to the image of the original party's imagination, and even triggered a wave of discussion about "ugly men in ancient costumes".
In fact, the image controversy is only one aspect, for the audience, what is more dissuaded is Jin Han's exaggerated acting skills. His performance in the play was questioned for not being able to support the plot, and his vicious facial expressions and excessive handling were criticized.
The Douban score of the drama fell to 4.4, and the imbalance of discourse power in the film and television market and the disorderly intervention of capital reflected behind the casting mistakes have become a hot topic.
On November 1, the New Wave Forum was held, and when asked if there was any hesitation in the process of selecting Jin Han to play the male protagonist of "Jun Jiuling", Yan Dandan, the chief producer of the show, smiled and replied "no hesitation".
She went on to explain: "There are many factors in it, including time, and we thought That Jin Han was very suitable, first, he had played a similar role in previous works; second, although he did not look like what we now call aesthetics, not the image of a boy with white and tender eyes and thin eyebrows, his image was indeed very suitable for the temperament of the masculine general in our role, so we used him at that time." ”
Talking about the casting criteria of the ancient puppet market, Yan Dandan believes that there is no type difference in actors, "Whether it is ancient puppets, suspense, or urban dramas, the reason why actors are actors is to be able to shape any role." ”
She said that the casting of ancient puppet dramas and urban dramas depends on whether the actors and roles are satisfied and fit, "rather than saying that this person can only play ancient puppets, but can not play suspense, I think it is not to distinguish actors by genre, but to see how strong the plasticity of this actor is." ”
But the audience believes that the reputation of the series reflects that the actor's plasticity is very poor.
And the producer's explanation of the casting, the audience did not buy it.
Recently, director and producer Zhang Jizhong also talked about casting in an interview with NetEase Entertainment. He bluntly said that the law of today's entertainment industry has changed from the law of art to "I pay for it and I have the final say", the platform has become the law, the traffic has become the standard for selecting actors, the so-called "rice circle", forming a potential, pulling down our aesthetics, but can not only blame the flow of actors, is caused by the environment.
