Becoming an actor has always been a rather challenging career for many.
Most actors first require their image to be excellent, which has eliminated most ordinary people. After all, this is something that must be considered.
However, the entertainment industry is essentially a vanity fair, so the exchange of interests is not uncommon in it, especially the group of "related households".
1. Yue Lina
Born in 1974 in Chengde, Hebei Province, Yue Lina studied at Hebei Art School in her early years and joined the Chengde Repertory Theatre after graduation.
19-year-old Yue Lina starred in the martial arts drama "Bloody Wolf Mountain" in 1993, playing the role of Yu Niang, and since then her acting career has officially set sail.
Yue Lina has spent 30 years in her acting career, and she didn't attract much attention at first, and even in the first ten years of work, she mostly only played supporting roles.
It wasn't until 2013 that Yue Lina played the heroine for the first time in the TV series "Dog Stick", and due to the popularity of the show, she became popular. After that, with dramas such as "Mother's Road" and "Little Nyonya", Yue Lina gained attention again.
Yue Lina's masterpieces are mostly period dramas with the theme of bitterness, which are not only loved by middle-aged and elderly audiences, but also have been at the top of the list in terms of ratings for a long time.
There is a saying in the audience that Yue Lina's performance is ordinary, and her appearance is not outstanding. Coupled with the fact that the plot of the TV series is too exaggerated and blunt, and there is a tendency to demean women and favor men, these have led to Yue Lina's reputation always being difficult to get unanimous praise.
The reason why Yue Lina still makes frequent announcements in this situation is because her husband Guo Jingyu is a well-known director.
Among Yue Lina's acting works, the number directed by Guo Jingyu accounts for more than 70%, while other directors such as Huang Jianzhong, Bai Shan, Ju Xingmao, etc., are Guo Jingyu's mentors, partners and apprentices. Looking at his acting career, these figures are impressive.
Yue Lina's success today is largely due to her network of "relationships" with others. If she didn't have her husband's support and related connections, she might have lost her foothold in the entertainment industry with her image and acting skills.
It is worth mentioning that director Guo Jingyu enjoys a good reputation in the circle and is known as the "Brother Demon", in addition to his wife Yue Lina, the actor he most often works with is his younger brother Yang Zhigang.
Most of Yang Zhigang's external evaluations are similar to his sister-in-law Yue Lina, basically his acting skills are average, if he didn't have a big director brother, he would have no filming a long time ago.
This family is closely related and interdependent, and this kind of "relation" frequently appears in front of the screen, which may be a little difficult for the audience to accept.
Second, Zhang Keying
Born in Beijing in 1997, Zhang Keying has been influenced by art since she was a child. Since the age of 6, she has learned to Xi and sing in the ** TV Galaxy Youth Television Art Troupe, and has served as the lead singer for 7 years, during which she has also participated in many domestic and foreign performances.
In 2013, Zhang Keying, who was in her first year of high school, was selected by director Li Xinling to play the heroine of the English version of the ** drama "The Wizard of Oz". As a result, she was invited to the UK to premiere at the Edinburgh International Festival and the Aberdeen Youth Festival, and the play won a gold medal at the Edinburgh International Festival.
In the next few years, Zhang Keying got involved in many fields such as opera, ** drama, stage plays, etc., and participated in many variety shows such as "First Grade", thus winning wide popularity.
In 2015, with a score of 577 in the college entrance examination, Zhang Keying was admitted to the Acting Department and the Drama Department of the ** Drama Academy, the ** Drama Department of the Shanghai Theater Academy, the ** Drama Department of the Shanghai ** University and the Performance Department of the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts.
Although Cheung eventually chose the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts, she decided to drop out and retake the exam just over a year after enrolling. With her excellent results in cultural classes, she was successfully re-admitted to the ** Drama Academy.
Therefore, such a choice was made because Zhang Keying had already begun to contact the film and television industry at that time. Her first film and television work was partnered with Chen Xiao and Jing Tian to star in the modern emotional drama "A Trip to Meet Love".
In the following years, Zhang Keying successively participated in many TV series, including many popular dramas such as "Seamless", "I Only Like You" and "Old Tavern".
Zhang Keying's hardware level is not too bad, she is a professional background, and her appearance is also outstanding among ordinary people, but her acting skills are mediocre, and her reputation is not too good.
Zhang Keying's role as "He Lucky" in the TV series "Happiness to Ten Thousand Homes" broadcast last year was controversial, and the audience generally considered her acting skills to be the most lacking part of the whole play, although her role had many eye-catching moments, but she failed to perform it to the fullest.
Many viewers think that Zhang Keying's performance lacks depth, seems too superficial, and always reveals a bitter and hateful emotion, which is difficult to resonate.
This is the problem, since the audience is so disgusted with Zhang Keying, how did she frequently appear in hit dramas?
Her mother is the famous actor Zhang Kaili, and the reason is very simple.
Because of her identity, Zhang Keying, no matter how bad her acting skills are, will continue to have notices coming to her door.
Zhang Keying has never concealed her mother-daughter relationship with Zhang Kaili, as early as when she participated in "First Grade", Zhang Kaili personally wrote a letter to say that "there is no shame in being Kelly's daughter". This is the most important thing.
Zhang Kaili not only took the initiative to mention her daughter in many interviews, but as long as there is an invitation to the event, she will definitely bring her daughter to participate and will never be absent.
Some netizens even broke the news that Zhang Keli used his identity as a star child to add dramas, such as playing a small role in "The Old Tavern", but his role was not lost to several protagonists.
3. Zhang Sile
In 1992, Beijing ushered in the birth of Zhang Sile. Since she was a child, she has been the backbone of literature and art in the class and the representative of the ** class. After graduating from high school, she took the entrance exams for several performing arts schools, received all the admission letters, and finally chose to enter the ** Drama Academy.
Zhang Sile participated in his first TV series "Special Operations" in the first year after graduating from university in 2015, and since then he has started his acting career, and has played some supporting roles in many film and television dramas one after another.
In the 8 years since his debut, Zhang Sile has participated in the filming of more than 10 film and television works, although most of them play supporting roles, but there are also popular word-of-mouth dramas such as "Patrol Inspection Team" and "Awakening Age".
Therefore, Zhang Sile has been criticized by the outside world, especially playing the role of "Qiao Yi" in "Patrol Procuratorial Team", not only because of his acting skills, but also because his image is far from the role setting.
The audience then found that Zhang Sile's performance in other film and television dramas was also unsatisfactory, whether she played a beautiful role or a clown, she failed to show the essence of the role, coupled with her poor expression control, she inadvertently became a variety of ugly performances.
Netizens quickly revealed the truth: it turned out that Zhang Sile is also a second-generation star, her father is the well-known veteran actor Zhang Guangbei, and her mother is one of the "Five Golden Flowers of Chinese Opera", Chen Wei, who is as famous as Gong Li, Shi Ke and others.
Zhang Guangbei and Chen Wei love their only daughter very much, especially Zhang Guangbei, who doesn't like to socialize very much, and is even willing to accompany his wife to participate in various activities and programs for the sake of his daughter's career, at the expense of hard work.
It's a pity that although Zhang Sile has a good background, she has not inherited the excellent genes of her parents, not only is she far inferior to her mother in appearance, but her acting skills cannot be compared with her father Zhang Guangbei.
It can be expected that without the support of this relationship between his parents, Zhang Sile's appearance and acting skills alone may not even be able to get the opportunity to debut.
Fourth, Zou Yuanqing
Zou Yuanqing was born in Beijing in 1988. After graduating from junior high school, she was sent to the United States to study, and then returned to China to take the college entrance examination. She was successfully admitted to the double degree class of drama, film and television performance of ** Drama Academy with the twelfth place in her major.
In cooperation with Chen Feiyu and Ouyang Nana, Zou Yuanqing starred in his first movie "Secret Fruit" in the same year when he was admitted to the ** Drama Academy, playing the role of the second female Scarlett in the film.
Zou Yuanqing has also begun to work hard in the field of TV dramas in recent years, and has successively participated in many high-profile hit dramas such as "Mountains and Seas", "Breakthrough", and "Ode to Joy 3".
The more dramatic works Zou Yuanqing performed, the more criticism he accumulated.
She was criticized in "Mountains and Seas" and was considered the only actor who didn't fit in with the role. The other actors are all grizzled and look like authentic peasant images, but she is clean and neat, as if she is a rich second generation who has come to experience life.
Zou Yuanqing's image in other dramas is not so controversial, but her facial features fly wildly when she performs, her emotions are not clearly conveyed, and her lines are not very clear.
Zou Yuanqing is qualified to become an actor partly because of her family background, and her mother is the famous actor Yan Ni.
According to reports, Yan Ni was a literary soldier before engaging in literary and artistic work, and later she joined the Television Art Center of the Political Department of the Air Force, where she met and married a colleague, and they also had Zou Yuanqing.
However, in 2004, Yan Ni divorced due to emotional disputes, and although she obtained custody of her daughter, she did not have much time to take care of Zou Yuanqing due to work. It can be said that her training of her daughter's acting skills can be said to be groundless.
Of course, Yan Ni also put a lot of effort into taking care of her daughter. Zou Yuanqing's second film "I Am Your Mother", co-starring her and Yan Ni, but the film has a poor reputation and the box office is even more dismal.
Moreover, Zou Yuanqing's image in the movie is also very rustic, compared with Yan Ni's image as a mother, the temperament is not at the same level at all.
When Zou Yuanqing participated in "Actors, Please Be in Place", Chen Kaige once told her that she had a particularly outstanding teacher (Yan Ni) at home, and hoped that she could communicate more with her mother about learning Xi.
From this point of view, Chen Kaige's intention is to imply that Zou Yuanqing's acting skills are indeed lacking, and at the same time, he also hopes that Yan Ni can guide her daughter well.
Fifth, Yue Yien
Born in Beijing in 1989, Yue Yien began to learn Xi piano and violin and other musical instruments at the age of 4, and persevered until he completed his studies, and successfully graduated from the directing department of Beijing Film Academy.
After graduating from Nortel, Yue Yien went to the United States to further his studies in Xi film management. However, after returning to China, he resolutely gave up many years of professional Xi and devoted himself to his acting career, for reasons that are puzzling.
Yue Yien went from director to management to actor, and several turns were as confusing as her acting skills. In recent years, she has participated in dramas such as "Emergency Doctor" and "A Better Life", and her performance has been controversial.
In addition, although Yue Yien is only a supporting role, his roles are extremely rich. What's more, her acting skills are really poor. Especially in the elevator, the acting skills of staring at the eyes and dancing with the hands because of fear make it difficult to look directly.
Yue Yien's performance was so eye-catching that netizens began to "investigate" her, and found that she was actually the daughter of Yue Hong, an old drama bone.
Yue Hong is a well-known figure, she won the Golden Rooster Actress Award at the age of 24, and although she is now a little older, the image of the evil mother-in-law she plays has left a deep impression in many dramas.
In order to support her daughter's career, Yue Hong also spared no effort, as early as when her daughter was 14 years old, the mother and daughter worked together to shoot the TV series "Full of Stars".
Although Yue Yien chose another path and did not continue to cooperate with her mother Yue Hong, when she became an actor, Yue Hong's friend Zhang Jiayi obviously gave her a lot of help and took Yue Yien to shoot several dramas.
6. Ruiza
Ruiza was born in Hangzhou in 1988. Since the age of 9, she has been involved in the field of TV dramas and participated in "Years Like a Song". She then pursued a master's degree in directing at the Shanghai Theatre Academy and a postgraduate degree in theatre and acting from King's University.
After returning to China, Ruiza worked mainly as a director, and she created many outstanding drama works, mainly at the Shanghai Dramatic Art Center.
She may have had acting experience since she was a child, so she has an inexplicable love for acting itself. Therefore, in 2011 and 2015, she participated in two series "Life in Two Cities" and "Big Time" respectively.
Ruiza's performance in "Big Time" is really unbearable, not only is her acting terrible, but her image is also unaesthetically pleasing, especially the short hair style is unacceptable.
Han Dongjun's "Luo Yiyang" in the play is very fascinated by her, so the audience sometimes can't help but wonder if he is really carried away by love. Especially when I saw the picture of the sweet interaction between the two, this question was even stronger.
It wasn't until the audience revealed Ruiza's true identity that they finally understood.
Wang Liping is Ruiza's mother, who wrote the show and is also one of the investors. Further investigation found that the TV series "Years Like a Song" in which Ruiza participated in at the age of 9 was also written by her mother.
I believe everyone can understand that in the entertainment industry, interpersonal relationships are more important than acting skills and image.
In the same situation, I finally understood why the overall performance of the current actors is not as good as that of the older generation. After all, in this situation full of related households swiping the screen and demons dancing wildly, how can we talk about acting?
