Ugly men and women, dominating ancient puppets?
If the explosion of "Hurricane" is just a test of breaking the ice in the cold winter period of film and television, then the broadcast of various works that have been suppressed after that indicates that domestic entertainment will regain its vitality.
Before and after the summer vacation, all kinds of large-scale productions and high-traffic works were broadcast, and they were already gearing up and preparing to win a place in domestic entertainment.
2023 is the year of the supporting roles, such as Zhang Songwen who played Gao Qiqiang in "Hurricane", Wei Daxun in "Fireworks in My World", Chen Turin in "Long Moon Embers" and so on.
It was also in this year that the controversy about the appearance of actors became louder and louder, and many artists were said to be "ugly" or "popular".
The first is Ren Min in "Jade Bone Yao", after the TV series was broadcast, the topic of Ren Min's appearance quickly appeared on the hot search, and one of the eye-catching entries was "ugly".
In the play, Zhu Yan played by Ren Min should be a bright and beautiful woman, but the Zhu Yan shown on the screen is very different from what everyone imagined.
The stylist arranged a bangs that didn't fit Ren Min, focusing all the audience's attention on the lower half of Ren Min's face, which was not dominant.
MoreoverRen Min in the play is not very thin, and it does not meet the audience's expectations for the appearance of the heroine of the ancient puppet drama
These are the points that the audience complains about.
followed by Bailu's "Long Moon Embers", this drama has very good makeup, the overall production is excellent, it seems that the crew has put a lot of effort into makeup, and by the way, it has also brought fire to the Dunhuang style.
I don't know whyAfter the play was broadcast, many people's eyes were on the appearance of the heroine Bailu, questioning her lack of "goddess" temperament.
also compared her with the slender Chen Duling, who is more god-like.
During the broadcast of the play, many entries on the hot search had nothing to do with the plot itself, and most of them focused on the actors, most of which were Bailu.
MoreoverAfter the broadcast of "Long Moon Embers", some netizens also put Bailu in the ranks of the "Four Popular Women".
This controversy also continued to the dramas broadcast later, especially in her new drama "Love as the Camp", there are many lines praising her as a beautiful woman who has captivated the country and the city, which has aroused the audience's doubts and discussions about her appearance.
At the same time,"Long Moon Embers" also pulled Luo Yunxi off the glorious list of beautiful men in ancient costumes, he is too thin in this drama, which causes the camera to lose a lot of beauty when showing the character.
After that, "short and thin" became a key word for some netizens to question him.
"Lotus Tower" is a martial arts drama with a very good reputation in recent years, and Cheng Yi, the actor of the male protagonist Li Lianhua, has gained a large number of fans with this drama.
StillThere are also some viewers who think that he himself is too thin and his appearance does not conform to the public's aesthetics
He and Luo Yunxi have one thing in common in their career development, that is, they are more suitable for costume dramas, and their adaptability to modern dramas is insufficient.
When Yang Zi's "Sauvignon Blanc" was first broadcast, Min Xiaoliu, who played in the early stage, was a man, so he was dressed loosely and sloppily, and his overall appearance looked fat and big, which also caused a wave of controversy over his appearance and figure.
Another oneLiu Yuning's "Yi Nian Guan Mountain", the controversy about his appearance has never stopped from the start of filming to the broadcast of this drama.
There are even cases where some netizens use scientific and technological means to replace his face with the faces of other actors.
In response to the controversy of netizens, Liu Yuning basically responded, for example, some people said that his appearance was not suitable for playing ancient puppets, but he did not respond positively, only said".Yinian Guanshan is not a drama with the theme of ancient puppets"That's the case.
He also said:When filming the work, I saw that some netizens said that he was "ugly" and "unworthy"., it was the crew who gave him comfort and encouragement, and they would keep saying "so handsome" in his ear.
Today's Liu Yuning is also very helpless in the face of the controversy over appearance, he said that he can only strive to give everyone a relatively satisfactory image of an artist through continuous fitness, beauty and other methods.
The above are the actors who will be on the hot search in 2023 because of their appearance, they have all suffered from being ridiculed for being "ugly and ordinary", at that time, the artist's heart must be uncomfortable
For the audience watching the drama, the overall level of these dramas is very good, and their acting skills and image display are also very in line with the requirements of the characters and the plot.
In addition to the controversy, it has triggered a lot of thinking
Is it appropriate to unilaterally use popular aesthetic standards to require an actor to perform a role?
Which is more important, beauty or fitness?
Should the way capital chooses actors and scripts also change?Maybe it shouldn't rely entirely on a certain condition, such as traffic, such as a fan base.
That's all I have to say.
