Among the many hit dramas, the revolutionary historical drama "Ask the Boundless" has attracted the attention of a large number of audiences with its unique charm and excellent cast. The wonderful performances of Wang Renjun, Ma Shaohua and other powerful factions have made the expectation index of the play soar. However, the choice of a character in the play has sparked widespread controversy among the public.
Experienced actor Song Jia played the historical figure Song Qingling in the play. For this role, the audience's expectations are quite high. After all, Song Qingling's image has left a deep mark on history. However, Song Jia's attempt does not seem to have met the audience's expectations.
From the perspective of appearance, the gap between Song Jia and Song Qingling is obvious. Soong Ching Ling's image is described as delicate, soft and full of demure temperament. In contrast, Song Jia's face is more rigid and capable, and her unique tough beauty may be a highlight when playing other roles, but it has become an obvious shortcoming when playing the role of Song Qingling.
Not only that, in the play, the rivalry between Song Jia and Ma Shaohua also makes people feel an obvious incongruity. The two stand together, more like father and daughter than the couple in history. This difference makes the audience feel an obvious gap in the process of watching the play, and questions the degree of restoration of historical figures.
And the performance of other actors when they played the role of Song Qingling was also picked up by netizens. Li Ling, Yang Tongshu, Maggie Cheung and others have all tried this role, and each has a different way of interpreting it. The audience's evaluation of these actors is also mixed, but in comparison, Song Jia's attempt this time does not seem to be recognized by everyone.
Regarding the audience's reaction, some netizens said: "Can you play 'Song Qingling' with a bitter face?."CCTV's "Ask the Boundless" casting is really a failure!Such an evaluation is undoubtedly a kind of questioning and dissatisfaction with the casting of the series.
In fact, playing a historical figure in a historical drama is a huge challenge in itself. Actors need to find a balance between resemblance and resemblance, both to let the audience see the shadow of historical figures, and to give new life and charm to the characters. Song Jia's attempt this time may not have met this standard, but we can't deny her excellent performance in other works.
