Recently, when the drama "Xiaoman Life" was broadcast, it attracted the attention and love of the audience. The main line of the play revolves around the lives of middle-aged couples, revealing their struggles under realistic pressures such as work, family, and a second child. Through the down-to-earth life and superb acting skills of the actors, the play has won the popularity of the audience. However, at the same time, some people began to question the appearance of Jiang Xin, the heroine of the show.
In the play, Jiang Xin's character is basically wearing a casual sweatshirt with cargo pants every day, and at first glance, he is stronger than the male protagonist Qin Hao. Wearing a short trench coat, you can't find the waistline from the back. In addition, in the workplace, she wears a suit that looks very tight compared to the others, and her arms are more clearly highlighted. The same outfit she wears compared to other actresses, and she looks as if she is a few laps bigger than others. Some people also pointed out that Jiang Xin's ** in the play is not in good condition, and the wrinkles on her face and forehead are clearly visible. Therefore, some viewers said that Jiang Xin is fat again, with big shoulders and a round waist, and she doesn't look like a female star.
However, when some netizens criticized Jiang Xin's appearance, they used the excessive pursuit of thinness and perfection as a reference standard. They ignored Jiang Xin's real state in the play and her excellent acting skills. These viewers think that a 40-year-old married mother is under the pressure of work and taking care of multiple roles such as children and the elderly, and it is difficult to dress herself carefully every day. For middle-aged women, Jiang Xin's appearance and state in the play are actually closer to real life. Her acting skills are what really touches people's hearts, and they are more comfortable than those actors who only pursue appearance and pretending to be tender.
These views have been widely discussed and controversial. On the one hand, some viewers praised Jiang Xin's real performance and excellent acting skills, believing that she should be affirmed and praised. They believe that TV dramas should focus more on creating an authentic image rather than catering to viewers' expectations of a perfect appearance. On the other hand, some netizens still criticize Jiang Xin's appearance, thinking that as an actor, she should maintain a good posture and not be too lax.
Jiang Xin is not the only actor who has been criticized for her appearance. In recent years, many female stars in the entertainment industry have faced a similar situation. Liu Xiaoqing played a 16-year-old character in the TV series "Heroes of the Sui and Tang Dynasties", but the audience thought that her expression was stiff and did not match the character setting. Carina Lau also tried to pretend to be tender in the TV series "Half Life", but was considered too disobedient by the audience. Zhou Xun also attracted ridicule from netizens because of his old behavior in the TV series "The Legend of Ruyi". These incidents show that female celebrities, both at home and abroad, are facing harsh requirements for their appearance.
Such incidents reflect society's prejudice against female celebrities and women's aesthetic standards. Female stars who are widely praised in the entertainment industry are usually young, slim, and have perfect looks. However, this singular aesthetic not only exerts tremendous pressure on female stars, but also has a negative impact on women in general. Women are forced to strive for the perfect appearance and ignore the inner charm and strength.
Criticism of Jiang Xin's appearance did not cause her response, but her outstanding performance in the play eliminated the audience's doubts about her appearance. For the impact of the whole incident, we must recognize that female stars are not just about appearance, they should win the audience's approval with their excellent acting skills and ability to portray real characters. Such an event should provoke us to think about and re-examine the aesthetic concept of society, and avoid the bias of lack of diversity and fairness.
