2023 is over, but it is memorable for some actors, especially those who have become popular this year by playing supporting roles. Throughout the year, from the beginning of the year's "Hurricane" became popular with Zhang Songwen and Gao Ye, to the second half of the year, "Fireworks in My World", "Sauvignon Blanc", "Cloud Feather" and other works have all featured supporting roles and strong performances. 
Therefore, 2023 is known as the "first year of supporting roles on the table", opening a new era of "content is king in the film and television industry", and it also shows from the side: The spring of good actors is finally coming. But this "overnight popularity" is definitely not the result of strong praise or boasting, they are mostly "sharpening a sword in ten years". 
From obscurity to overnight popularity, only you know the bitterness. 1.Gao Ye: "Hurricane" Chen Shuting Gao Ye has been struggling in domestic entertainment for 13 years before giving the "national sister-in-law" a face in "Hurricane". 
And Gao Ye is a regular army graduated from Beiying, and his starting point is not low, and he participated in Zhang Yimou's "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree" on his debut, although the role is very small. She was also supported by Sun Honglei in public because of her "death" performance in the movie "Border Storm", but she still couldn't change the status of "not popular". 
It wasn't until 13 years later that "Hurricane" was broadcast, and Gao Ye vividly showed the domineering, tangled, and high IQ characteristics of "sister-in-law" Chen Shuting, with a high degree of completion. 
Her popularity is surprising, but it also reflects the embarrassing state of a "30+ actress" who has been slow to get ahead in film and television dramas. Fortunately, the audience's eyes were bright, and Gao Ye finally came out. 2.Chen Duling: Ye Bingsheng in "Long Moon Embers" also "boiled" out of "Long Moon Embers", in which one person plays the triangle Chen Duling. 
Although she is 6 years younger than Gao Ye, and she still wears the label of "highly educated beauty", plus she is at the peak of her debut, and she has entered the circle strongly with Su Youpeng's "Left Ear", but I have to admit that she has always been half-popular and not purple. Even if he was trapped in Hengdian last year and acted in a lot of "White Moonlight" in film and television dramas, the topic is limited to this. 
Until "Long Moon Embers" was on the air, Chen Turin was able to "kill the Quartet" with the blackened Ye Bingsheng, which shows that "good or bad character" is not the only criterion for evaluating whether the character can get out of the circle. Although Ye Bingsheng seems to be docile and kind in the early stage, she actually does all the bad things and is the biggest villain in the play, not only instigating the relationship between the male and female protagonists in the later stage, but also betraying the second male who loves her and even putting him to death. 
But it is this role that makes Chen Duling, who has always taken the route of "Little White Flower", uneasy in the hearts of many audiences. 
In the final analysis, in addition to the sense of character design, the audience also rationally returned to acting: Chen Duling's smile or crazy battle damage are all meticulous and integrated with the character. 3.Guo Xiaoting: The same transformation of Chen Xiuli in "The Road of Life" happened to Guo Xiaoting: at the age of 30, she only played the role of Chen Xiuli, the third female in "The Road of Life", but she accidentally entered the hearts of the audience. 
She is in excellent condition in the play, playing a college student is not inconsistent, and the low-key and talent that the role should have, Guo Xiaoting also completely holds it. Compared with Huang Yaping, who is also a Shanghai girl played by Zhang Jiani, Chen Xiuli is very natural, and it is not deliberate at first glance, which adds to the favor.
Guo Xiaoting was born as a child star, started filming at the age of 7, and ten years later came to prominence for her performance in "The Legend of Sword and Fairy III". Over the years, her acting path is extremely wide, she can play the sassy "Princess Minmin", the rebellious and simple "Lin Xiang", or the poignant and tragic "Chidi Woman" ......
However, Guo Xiaoting has never played the female number one, and she doesn't care about it, in the variety show "Infinite Transcendence Class", she bluntly said: "As long as you play each of your roles well, it's enough, and the rest will be natural, and you won't care." ”
4.Jiang Qiming: "The Long Season" Fu Weijun was rated by nearly 90,000 people as the five-star "drama king" of the year "The Long Season", in addition to Wang Xiang, Gong Biao and other old drama bones are unforgettable, the "little mute" Fu Weijun, who does not have a single line, is also popular.
Fu Weijun is also a "ruthless character", he looks harmless to humans and animals, but in fact he is ruthless and obedient, he kills people and dismemberes his corpses directly, without blinking his eyes. However, this role actually doesn't have many scenes, but because the characters are thick and intriguing, it is worth savoring.
Moreover, Jiang Qiming's performance is very out of the circle, expressing the innocence of facing the girl he likes and the ruthlessness of facing the enemy. The huge contrast of the roles and his excellent acting skills have made him harvest a large number of girlfriend fans. Some people even bluntly said that the role of "little mute" directly stole the limelight from Zhang Songwen.
But in fact, before Fu Weijun came out of the circle, Jiang Qiming had no regular income for a long time. He even posted job search information on social platforms, worked as a cashier in a convenience store, and also ran errands and delivered food part-time.
However, these down-to-earth lives provided inspiration and material for his performances. For example, in "The Long Season", Fu Weijun has the habit of touching hearing aids every time he hits someone, and he is also considered by fans to be a kind of "sexual tension".
But in fact, in Jiang Qiming's understanding, because hearing aids are very expensive, it is speculated that Fu Weijun did not buy them himself, and it is most likely stolen or robbed, and it is not suitable to wear them, so he will touch them before the fight to make sure that Dai Wen will not fall off and shoot again. And it is the details of all aspects and the effective understanding of the role that can make him instantly enter the hearts of the audience without relying on a single line.
5.Wei Daxun: "Fireworks in My World" Meng Yanchen is an actor who has become popular through this summer, Wei Daxun is definitely No1. There is no one. Because he played the role of the male No. 4 Meng Yanchen in "Fireworks in My World", he gained millions of fans in 7 days. even led to the "explosion-proof" behavior of the drama party - when it was the most popular, fans found that many of Meng Yanchen's hot posts were deleted, and the highlight shots in the play were "missing".
These practices directly made netizens rebellious, and also achieved the effect of "the more explosion-proof, the more explosive".
But in fact, Wei Daxun does not have many scenes in this work, appearing for a few minutes in each episode, but he has become the most eye-catching image in the play.
Coupled with the character design of "Orthopedic Boss" and his amazing acting skills, it is indeed difficult to kill the hero and heroine in minutes without exploding. But few people pay attention to the fact that Wei Daxun has been working silently for 15 years before the explosion.
He is a real "variety show", and he was even looked down upon and questioned because of this, Wei Daxun once responded: "If I don't record reality shows, no one will ask me to act!."”
6.Tan Jianci: Tan Jianci, who has slightly lost the number of fans in "Sauvignon Blanc", is actually like this. Before becoming popular with the summer file "Sauvignon Blanc", he also sat on the cold bench of "not popular".
Tan Jianci made his debut as a dance student, and at the age of 16, he participated in "Secret Shore" and broke into the film and television industry, and it can be said that he is an all-round artist of film and television songs. But at the beginning of his debut, he was born at the wrong time, and he encountered the Korean Wave, where he was mi.c The development of the boy group is mediocre.
It wasn't until many years later that Tan Jianci was seen by the industry with his performance in "Sima Yi".
However, because his works are not out of the circle, the rewards for his efforts can only be said to be average, even if he was praised by Xu Zheng on the variety show: "Who said that Xiao Xianrou can't act?."That's what an actor is!”
Until the broadcast of "Sauvignon Blanc", Tan Jianci's interpretation of the Nine Lives Xiangliu was an emotionally unstable demon, but in the end he was willing to die for great love and righteousness, earning enough tears from the audience.
In terms of acting, he also managed to interpret the multi-level emotional changes with an expressionless coldness, completely distinguishing the role from the stereotyped "facial paralysis face". 7.Xiao Shunyao: Xiao Shunyao, who was a combination of Di Feisheng and Tan Jianci in "Lotus Tower", has also been in your circle for 13 years, but he has been tepid. In 2012, he transformed into an actor, although he has an outstanding appearance, it has always been difficult to get the support of traffic.
In those years, Xiao Shunyao played special forces, scholars, tough guys, and bosses, but he didn't meet a role that could be popular. He began to follow Wei Daxun's route and go on variety shows to get traffic, with the same purpose of "getting traffic, and competing fairly with other actors for roles".
The broadcast of "Lotus Tower" allowed the audience to see a sound of flute that is both good and evil - he is a veritable big devil, but he is above board.
Xiao Shunyao's performance is also remarkable, especially in interpreting the character changes and growth of Di Feisheng, which is very clear and distinct, which makes people unwilling to forget it for a long time. 8.Wang Xingyue: Among the supporting roles of "Ning An Like a Dream", Wang Xingyue, who was born in 2002, is even more precious. He has only debuted for 3 years, but he successfully got out of the circle because of his "sophisticated" acting skills, which opened the door to "traffic" for his acting career.
In "Ning An Like a Dream", Zhang Sha played by Wang Xingyue is perfect, sincere and pure, and he is an unplayable "white moonlight", and he is also one of the few characters who can make people move.
Wang Xingyue's role bonus is obvious to all, in addition to his straight demeanor and upright face, coupled with the fusion of juvenile sense and reliability in temperament, it is easy to give the audience a sense of security.
The advantage of his acting skills lies in the fact that he can easily control the complexity of the role, and there is no excessive expression on his facial features, but he can also experience the layering of emotions from his eyes. But even though he has been successfully served, Wang Xingyue said: "I have to work harder, I have always worked hard." ”
9.Cheng Lei: "Cloud Feather" Gong Shangjiao's "Cloud Feather" broadcast a few months ago was a constant topic, and some people even raised the issue: "How much does Guo Jingming prefer supporting roles?".”
And the actual data has said it all: Cheng Lei, the actor of the second male Gong Shangjiao, has the most fans, and can be called the biggest dividend winner of this play.
Cheng Lei, 30 years old this year, has been rated as one of the "ancient puppets and ugly men" before, and he was not originally from the acting department, but he entered the industry by chance, and he also filmed a lot of mediocre small web dramas. His acting skills were honed at that stage, and it wasn't until last year that he came out of the circle on a small scale with his performance in the costume short drama "False Face".
But at that time, Cheng Lei's fans were only 300,000, and this number has increased 10 times to this day.
He played the cold yin owl of Gong Shangjiao in "Cloud Feather", but he also used the image of "cold face" to highly restore the complexity of the character and the depth of emotion.
Especially with the second female CP sense is very strong, the popularity of the two of them "CP in the night is still shallow" once surpassed that of the male and female protagonists. The above are the 9 characters who came out of the circle with "supporting roles" this year, which one is your "unforgettable"?To paraphrase a sentence often said by old actors: There are only small actors, no small roles, as long as it is gold, it can always shine. But the premise is: no actor will become popular out of nowhere, as long as they work hard in a down-to-earth manner, all their efforts will eventually be rewarded, bless them, and get better and better.
