Tencent's 2022 big drama film list, Yang Mi starred in the "Lady Hu Zhu" film flower release, attracted a piece of spit; the new drama "Jiaozang" was also officially announced, another ancient puppet, netizens have complained, Yang Midu this age how to play ancient dolls all day, is it planning to act for a lifetime? Even Yang Mi's fans angrily rebuked Jia Xing under the studio's Weibo.
But Yang Mi, who was born in 86, is actually 35 years old this year, and his appearance looks good (in addition to the poor manners as always, but this has little to do with age).
I can't help but think of Zhong Hanliang, who is nearly 50 years old and still filming idol dramas.
The film and television drama "Allure yiqinghuan", adapted from the novel "The King's Woman, Who Dares to Move", although it has not yet been officially announced, but there are rumors that the male and female protagonists are Zhong Hanliang and Yuan Bingyan.
The name of this original novel...
Well, that's not the point.
The point is that Zhong Hanliang in 74 years, 47 years old this year, Yuan Bingyan in 92 years old, 29 years old this year, the two are 18 years apart.
Even if this "anecdotal rumor" can not come true in the end, the male or female protagonist has someone else, but...
For so many years, Zhong Hanliang has been circling in idol dramas and playing couples with female stars who are often more than ten years younger than himself, which is a fact.
His last play was "Like a Jade Heart", the heroine Tan Songyun, 90 years old, 31 years old this year, the difference between the two is 16 years old.
This is not even the first time that Zhong Hanliang has cooperated with an actress with such a large age difference, in 2018's "Liangsheng, Can We Not Be Sad", the heroine Sun Yi is 93 years old, and the difference between the two is 19 years old!
In fact, in 2017, because of the "cutout" out of the circle of "Lonely Fang Does Not Appreciate Himself", the heroine Yang Ying was also 15 years younger than him, but at that time, Zhong Hanliang was still relatively "young", and it was also the first time to partner with an actress with such a large age difference, plus there were too many points that the drama could spit on, and no one paid attention to the age problem.
But in recent years, Zhong Hanliang has been partnering with actresses who are more than ten years younger than himself, the only drama with peers in the past five years, only with Li Xiaoran's second cooperation with "The Rest of Life", so many netizens are intolerable, according to this trend, the age difference will soon exceed 20 years old, optimistic that after a few years, 50-year-old Zhong Hanliang is still playing a couple with post-90s female stars!
Looking back now, Lin Xinru in 76 years was only 35 years old when he acted in "The Imperial Princess of the World" in 2011, and the partner Yan Kuan and Huo Jianhua at that time were only 3 years younger than her; Chen Qiaoen in 79 years, when he acted in "Splendid Adventure" and "Partial Like You" in 2015, was only 36 years old, and the age difference between the partner's male protagonist and her was not more than 5 years old.
And their state, to be honest, is not bad.
But at that time, they were ridiculed badly, and netizens complained about their "elderly Mary Sue", and a large number of years were still playing idol drama heroines.
Zhong Hanliang, who should have been ridiculed many years ago, has not been ridiculed until now...
Everyone is more tolerant of male celebrities than female celebrities, female celebrities partner a few years younger than their own male stars will be ridiculed "old cows eat tender grass", male star partners dozens of years younger than their female stars no one mocks their old cucumber brush green paint.
Of course, not only the entertainment industry, but also in reality, everyone always feels that old husbands and young wives are normal, and old wives and young husbands are not right.
Xiao Qiang, who cooperated with Zhong Hanliang at that time, was also ridiculed as a "yatou sect", and was 42 years old at that time, only 6 years older than Zhong Hanliang.
Now let's look back at the "Yatou Sect", the most famous "Ximen Aunt", that is, Yang Junjun, born in 1956, starred in the movie "Ximen No Hate" in 1993, and starred in the TV series "Ximen No Hate" in 1997, in fact, until 1997, she was only 41 years old. Zhang Ziyi in 79 years, 39 years old when he filmed "Shangyang Fu" in 2018; Zhou Xun in 74 years, 42 years old when he filmed "Ruyi Zhuan" in 2016...
They are all younger than the current Zhong Hanliang, and the age difference between them and their partners is far less than That of Zhong Hanliang, but they are all ridiculed much more than Zhong Hanliang.
Only Liu Xiaoqing, who was born in 1952, starred in "Sui and Tang Heroes 3" in 2013, when she was 61 years old, her partner was Zheng Guolin, who was 24 years younger than herself, this record, Zhong Hanliang has not yet broken, but I think that if this trend continues, sooner or later it will be broken.
Therefore, it is not too much to honor Zhong Hanliang as a "boy sect leader", right?
There is a "Yatou Sect", naturally there should be a "boy teaching", last year when Zhang Luyi starred as a 13-year-old teenager at the age of 40, someone already wanted to make him the leader, in my opinion, Zhong Hanliang and Zhang Luyi, just like Yang Junjun and Liu Xiaoqing, it is difficult to distinguish between Bo Zhong.
Of course, there will definitely be people who say that age is not the focus, the focus is to see the appearance of the actor is not old, although Yang Junjun is not so old, but the appearance is really old, and Zhong Hanliang, until now the maintenance is still good, looks still very handsome, what is not good about playing the male protagonist of the idol drama?
Is it really still handsome?
Admittedly, he is much better maintained than many greasy and fat middle-aged male actors, even young male actors, especially in stature, and it can be seen that he should be very disciplined, however...
Even if he is well maintained, his face, which has long been devoid of a little collagen, is full of age.
Idol drama is a dream, it should have belonged to young people, young people laugh and scold, how to do how dog blood is good, but middle-aged idol drama is really ...
Moreover, he looks "OK" in the play, in large part because of the terrible light filter of the current play... Lin Xin, who was ridiculed at that time, was like Chen Qiaoen, changing the current beauty filter, it can also be water spirit!
It's really not suitable, and it's hard to act.
47-year-old is still playing the idol drama male protagonist, Zhong Hanliang, is this a good mix, or not good?
Hard to say that the mixture is not good, it seems that it is not the same, after all, there is still a male protagonist to play, look at the next door "Jia Nan Biography", this year is only 38-year-old Huan Xi, yes, is the "Zhen Huan Biography" of Shen Meizhuang, obviously the maintenance is very good, playing the idol drama heroine is not violated, but now she is already playing Ju Jingyi's mother-in-law, and what is more terrible is that this is not the first time she has played a mother-in-law.
But did he really mix well?
In fact, if there are other options, I think he is not willing to act in dog blood idol dramas all day long.
In the early years, he did not fail to try to transform, such as "October Siege" in 2014, such as filmmaking, and even played a villain in "To Catch a Demon" in 2015, but...
It's clearly all failed.
When he was young, he had a high appearance and many fans, although there was no "traffic star" name at that time, but in fact he was the "traffic star" of that era, and he also acted a lot, but there was not much opportunity to cooperate with the good team of the Eight Classics of Zheng'er, and the acting skills were naturally nothing to praise for many years, and when he was older, he would naturally be replaced by a younger "traffic star".
His popular era is very early, and the group of Taiwanese stars of the same age as him, such as the Little Tigers, Wu Qilong has long been the boss, invested in filming, and has long played the protagonist's father in his own plays; Su Youpeng has transformed into a director, "Left Ear" and "The Appearance of Criminal Suspect X" Are all good, so the director can continue to go down this road.
Zhong Hanliang, it seems that there is also the idea of transforming as a director, Su Youpeng's "Left Ear" is filmed in Rao Xueman's novel, he also wants to be a director, filming "Hourglass", which is also an adaptation of Rao Xueman's novel, opened a press conference in 2015, but... I don't know where the shooting went.
Netizens often complain that there are too many "old husbands and young wives" in domestic dramas in the past two years, and actresses with male actor partners who are more than ten or twenty years younger than themselves abound, such as in "My Physical Education Teacher", Zhang Jiayi in 70 years is 18 years older than Wang Xiaochen, "Love Me Don't Think Too Much", Chen Jianbin in 70 years is 20 years older than Li Yitong, in "Flowing Golden Years", Chen Daoming in 55 years is 33 years older than Ni Ni...
But Zhong Hanliang's situation is obviously different from these male actors.
As long as they want to, they can also play the male lead in the mainstream drama that suits them, occasionally playing one or two "father-daughter love" or even "grandchildren love", just because they want to change their tastes, or "they give too much".
And Zhong Hanliang is the only drama that can be performed.
His state, in fact, is somewhat close to actresses like Yang Mi, and there is really no better option.
Of course, I must also carry the pot myself.
You have to say that he is trying, but he is a Hong Kong man, who has acted in the mainland for so many years, and now he still relies on dubbing, because he is not fluent in Mandarin, but you want to say that he does not work hard, it seems to be too one-sided, maybe...
only...... Maybe the qualifications are limited.
Therefore, although I really can't stand that he is still playing the male protagonist of the idol drama, I can also understand him, and maybe even have a little sympathy, maybe it is also a kind of self-abandonment.
But......
When Zhong Hanliang was like the sun in the sky, the Tianya Forum was also like the day in the sky, I still remember how indispensable his fans were, I didn't expect that now he has "fallen" into this, and the fans are still so "arrogant".
Looking down on Zhong Hanliang, must be a fan of the traffic star?
Not necessarily.
In fact, he has acted for decades, and he has not won any acting awards with gold content, and the only thing that can be called explosive is "Why Sheng ZhenMo".
But another question is worth thinking about: Will those traffic stars who are now in the sky become Zhong Hanliang in a few decades?
Will Zhong Hanliang, who has been circling in idol dramas all his life, become the destination of today's traffic stars?
Just think about it...
The upper age limit for acting in idol dramas, I think, is about 35 years old, whether men or women, if they are over 40 years old, they still have not yet transformed successfully...
Then I would rather watch them quit the entertainment industry than watch them continue to spill dog blood with young actors of the same age as their children.
Anyway, when you are young, you have earned enough, even if you don't act, the money you have saved in your hand is engaged in investment, and the second half of your life can be very moist, right?
