The recent hit Xianxia drama "Shen Yin" is directed by Chen Jialin, starring Zhao Lusi and Wang Anyu, and is adapted from the best-selling ** of Xingling. The story follows the adventures and coming-of-age stories of Kuching, the son of the true gods, and Ayin, the condensation beast.
Although the film is highly anticipated in terms of overall production, the performance of the leading actor Wang Anyu has caused some controversy among the audience.
In the play, Kuching, as the son of a true god, has been hiding his identity because of his divine powers. As the favored little apprentice of Daze Mountain's Donghua Immortal Monarch, he behaved lazy and delicious and lacked ambition. This contrast seems to contradict the audience's expectations for the son of the true god.
The audience expressed different opinions on Wang Anyu's appearance and acting skills in the play. Some people feel that his appearance is not handsome enough, and his acting skills cannot support the depth of the role.
Among them, some viewers even questioned his line expression and pronunciation, believing that these factors made it difficult to understand what he was expressing.
However, it is believed that there is a certain degree of subjectivity in the audience's evaluation of the actors, which may be affected by the expectations of the characters set in the original work and their own viewing experience.
In the eyes of the audience, Wang Anyu gave an interesting interpretation of the role of Kuching in the play. Through his portrayal of the image of waste wood, he successfully combined the funny and deep of the character of Kuching, which is impressive.
Perhaps, the audience has an inherent expectation for the male protagonist of Xianxia dramas, and what they want to see is an image with a handsome appearance and a noble temperament. However, whether this stereotype can be adapted to the setting of different plots and characters is also a question worth pondering.
"Shen Yin" tries to break the traditional setting of the image of the son of the true god, and shows a different side through the image of Kuching, which may require the audience to have a certain acceptance process.
In the plot, Kuching was sent to participate in the Nirvana birth ceremony of the little fire phoenix phoenix, but due to the lack of mana, he was humiliated and beaten by the master and servant of the young master of Wanyi Mountain, Lingfeng.
This plot makes people look forward to the fate of Kuching, and also puts forward higher requirements for Wang Anyu's acting ability. In this process, the audience may be more looking forward to seeing Wang Anyu show the strong strength and growth process of the son of the true god through the counterattack of the character.
Although Wang Anyu's performance in the play has been subject to some controversy, the choice of actors is often a complex task. When choosing the leading actor, the producer needs to consider whether the actor can properly express the multifaceted nature of the role, rather than just meeting the audience's single expectation of appearance and image. Too rigid choices can lead to a single character image and a lack of depth.
In addition, the audience's performance of the actor is often influenced by personal tastes and aesthetics. Some people like actors with unique acting skills, and some people pay more attention to image and appearance.
Therefore, the audience's evaluation is often diverse, and some small flaws in the actor's performance may also be accepted by the audience because of other highlights.
From this point of view, "Shen Yin" may be trying to challenge the audience's traditional impression of the son of the true god through the image of Kuching as a waste wood. By showing the counterattack of Kuching in the process of growing up, it may be able to bring more rich and interesting development to the whole series.
Overall, the audience's choice of the male protagonist of Xianxia dramas is indeed a focus of criticism. The actor's image, acting skills and line skills are directly related to the audience's recognition of the plot and role.
However, when choosing the male lead, the producer should find a balance between the pursuit of image beauty and acting skills, and create a more diverse and in-depth character image.
Shen Yin may be trying to show the audience an unusual side of Xianxia dramas through the image of Kuching, hoping to present a richer and more fascinating story throughout the series.
