In the last month of 2023, we had hoped that "Yi Nian Guan Mountain" would bring some new vitality to the lackluster Chinese drama market, but in the end we found that this drama did not meet expectations. In the finale, all the characters end in tragedy, and the heroine chooses to die with the enemy for the sake of the male protagonist, on the grounds that she is afraid that she will feel lonely without the male protagonist by her side.
However, when we revisited this costume drama, we found that it was not as popular as we imagined. There is a lack of chemistry between the male and female protagonists, and the supporting characters are more like tool people, although they are called "group portraits", but it feels too far-fetched. Coupled with the low quality of the original script, the reputation of the show is difficult to reverse.
Liu Shishi, the former 85 flower, seems to be unable to carry the popularity of this drama anymore. Her performance in the variety show "Hello, Saturday" also made people's hopes for her becoming popular slim. So, what's wrong with her?
When celebrities participate in variety shows, one thing they need to pay attention to is to let go of the burden of idols. However, the last time Liu Shishi participated in a variety show was 11 years ago. Nowadays, she needs to play games with a group of young people, which is undoubtedly a challenge for a former "Duan Princess".
In the show, Liu Shishi's comprehension and responsiveness are amazing. She can't seem to understand the rules of the game and needs the moderator to explain patiently. And in the game session, her sense of participation is also embarrassing. Her body was stiff and her movements were stiff, as if she was doing something very difficult.
The audience was dissatisfied with Liu Shishi's performance in the variety show, thinking that she should be more relaxed instead of holding the shelf all the time. Her ungrounded and embarrassing performance makes people feel uncomfortable.
Liu Shishi's acting skills are also a problem. Although her appearance and temperament are top-notch, in terms of acting skills, she may have fallen behind the other 85 flowers. The way she performs has not changed, which makes people feel tedious.
In general, if Liu Shishi wants to become popular again, she needs to show more sincerity and hard work. She needs to find her own masterpieces, improve her acting skills, and at the same time be more down-to-earth and win the love of the audience.
