A-list stars have attracted much attention in the entertainment industry, except for those senior artists who are recognized as having great influence on the international stage, the vast majority of netizens will distinguish according to many aspects such as "** topic, number of fans" and so on.
However, data alone is not rigorous enough. In the eyes of many audiences, there are also some actresses who usually do not promote on the Internet, but they can attract a large number of audiences, because their acting talents are eye-catching, and they are truly household names, which can be described as real "first-line" stars.
1. Haiqing
This summer, "Hidden in the Dust" suddenly became popular, which finally paid off Haiqing's years of hard work in the film field.
Many audiences' previous impression of Haiqing has always stayed on the image of her daughter-in-law in urban life dramas, because since she starred in "Double-sided Tape" in 2006, Haiqing has been "competing" with the same type of characters for the next ten years.
Haiqing's acting skills are undoubtedly very good, but compared with those high-profile traffic stars, as an actor, she doesn't seem to have any advantages.
Especially when other stars are busy and receive a large number of advertising and acting notices every day, Haiqing can only rely on the stage of the awards ceremony, with herself as the representative, sincerely facing the camera, and calling on the industry to give more performance opportunities to "older actors" like her.
Although she usually keeps a low profile, Haiqing's status in the film and television industry is undeniable, especially in the urban life dramas that she is best at. "Double-sided Tape", "Snail House", "Daughter-in-law's Beautiful Era", "Little Farewell", "Little Joy" and this year's "Home of the Heart", each of which has achieved word-of-mouth success.
Haiqing's case just illustrates the fact that great actors don't necessarily need to be highly focused on on a sustained basis. Even if you have experienced a low point, as long as the quality of the work is good enough, there will always be a moment to regain the light.
Second, Jiang Xin
I remember the last time Jiang Xin was in the spotlight when she participated in the TV series "Our Marriage" in February this year, and the last time was back to last year's hit "Little Shede".
Jiang Xin's ** degree has decreased significantly in recent years, especially after she gradually became fatter, and the discussion of her in the entertainment industry is either limited to body evaluation, or simply "evaporation from the world".
There are many reasons why Jiang Xin fell into this situation. On the one hand, she has always been tight-lipped about her private life, and there has been no progress in her relationship, so most of the time, she seems to be either filming or on the way to catch up with filming.
Therefore, although Jiang Xin's ** rate is not too high, she is still very busy this year. In February, she and Huang Xiaoming's film "Lurker" had just been completed, and then immediately joined the filming of the TV series "Xiaoman Life" (formerly known as "School District Room"), and successfully completed the filming some time ago.
Jiang Xin looks low-key, but her ability to resist ratings is really good. In 2003, she played "Mu Wanqing" in "Dragon Babu", and since then she has begun to emerge. Soon, Jiang Xin attracted the attention of the industry, and successively starred in many hit dramas such as "Seven Fairies of Joy" and "Strange Tales of New Liaozhai".
In 2011, Jiang Xin was widely praised for her role in "The Legend of Zhen Huan", which also marked her beginning to gain full recognition from the audience. Subsequently, her performances in "Ode to Joy", "Pentium Age" and "Little Willing" made her reputation even higher.
3. Yin Tao
Sun Li and Deng Chao performed an unforgettable kiss and love scene together in the 2006 TV series "Happiness Like Flowers".
After that, the two successfully entered the marriage hall and welcomed a lovely child, and their family life was happy and stable. Today, more than ten years later, many people still remember this classic series.
However, when it comes to this drama, it seems that everyone will selectively ignore the other leading actor - Yin Tao.
From an objective point of view, Yin Tao is obviously more charming in appearance and can attract the attention of male audiences, while Sun Li is inferior in comparison.
Limited by the influence of the character setting, Sun Li's audience base far exceeded Yin Tao's back then, which led to Sun Li's career soaring later, but Yin Tao was still unknown.
However, Yin Tao's fate is not destined to be like this forever, especially in the past decade, she has gradually begun to catch up with Sun Li's pace.
In 2013, Yin Tao won the Outstanding Actress Award at the 29th China TV Drama Feitian Awards for the TV series "Wenzhou Family" and "Yan'an Love".
Then in 2017, she won the Magnolia Award for Best Actress at the 23rd Shanghai TV Festival with "Chicken Feathers Fly to the Sky", and successfully completed the "Best Actress" grand slam of the three major awards of Chinese TV dramas.
As a result of participating in the program "Chinese Restaurant", Yin Tao's popularity began to increase. However, she comes across as rather laid-back Buddhist most of the time, and her family and private life is almost non-existent compared to other actresses, unless she voluntarily admits it.
Yin Tao starred in "The World" at the beginning of this year, showing her super ability to carry the ratings, especially the role of "Zheng Juan", the little daughter-in-law of the Zhou family, which moved the audience. She has a gentle and tenacious personality and shows the greatness of female power, which cannot be overlooked.
Fourth, Yuan Quan
When Yuan Quan first debuted, her performance was very good. Her first film work "Spring Rhapsody" won the Golden Rooster Award for Best Supporting Actress, and her subsequent film and television works such as "Blue Love", "Beautiful Feet" and "Little Fish and Flowers" have a good reputation and good ratings.
In addition, Yuan Quan also has a beautiful voice that is rare in a century, which made her quickly gain attention and recognition after stepping into the music scene in 2007.
At that time, she not only won the newcomer award, but also won the Top Ten Golden Melody Awards of the decade after her first ** "Lonely Flower", which shows that its gold content is extraordinary.
According to Yuan Quan's development history, it is foreseeable that she has the potential and strength to become a first-line actress, but due to the interweaving of Xia Yu's emotional experience, coupled with the fact that she faded out of the entertainment industry after getting married and having children, Yuan Quan's career was naturally restricted.
However, with the stability of family life, Yuan Quan has made a full comeback in recent years and re-entered the showbiz. Since the broadcast of "The First Half of My Life" in 2016, her career has gradually achieved success, and people can't help but sigh as if they saw the shadow of her youth.
Yuan Quan's acting skills are now more stable and mature, and she has shown a significant improvement compared to when she was young. Needless to say, the performance in high-quality dramas, even in a recognized bloody drama like "Meeting Season", Yuan Quan's performance is still eye-catching.
Fifth, Ma Yili
Ma Yili's development trajectory is somewhat similar to Yuan Quan, and when she first debuted, she was well-known to the public for her role as "Xia Ziwei" in the TV series "Huanzhu Gege 3: Heaven and Earth".
After that, Ma Yili moved forward step by step steadily, and successively participated in "Tiansheng Shui", "Jinyiwei", "Qiao's Courtyard", and the work "Struggle" that made her popular all over the country.
This drama has achieved a love affair between Ma Yili and a rookie actor who is 8 years younger than her. A year later, although the two denied their relationship many times, they finally decided to get a marriage certificate directly at the Civil Affairs Bureau.
Ma Yili slowly withdrew from the showbiz after giving birth, if she hadn't encountered unfortunate events such as article derailment, maybe she would have completely withdrawn from this circle.
After that, Ma Yili began to make a comeback to filming, and then created the hit work "The First Half of My Life", which successfully returned to the film industry. Compared with the past, her acting range is wider and her acting skills are more mature.
Ma Yili's daily photo rate is not high, coupled with her personality problems, almost no one wants to play with her. However, despite this, in the eyes of most viewers, Ma Yili is still seen as a guarantee of the quality of her work, or at least she is there, and can also ensure a minimum standard.
There are many actresses like them in the entertainment industry, but the above five are more representative and much discussed.
Their experience just shows the fact that the judging criteria of "first-line" stars cannot rely only on simple data and superficial popularity.
Sometimes, those actors who are not very popular in the minds of the audience, but are loved by people for their excellent acting skills and can really attract a large number of audiences, can be called "first-list" stars in the true sense.
