In recent years, China's film and television industry has been booming, like a galloping lion spreading its wings and flying high. However, each work seems to have to go through a serious test, and that is the strict selection of characters.
Among the many wonderful TV series, there is one that has caused great controversy - that is the high-profile "Flower Thousand Bone". The drama has been criticized for its casting mistakes, especially for the actor who starred in Bai Zihua.
However, if we dig deeper, we may be able to discover Mao Zijun's treasures in acting, as well as the potential that directors have not been able to tap well. As a high-profile TV series, the success of "Flower Thousand Bone" depends not only on the gripping plot and the beauty of the scene, but also on whether the actors can fit the characters and vividly present the characters in front of the audience.
However, the show made some fatal mistakes in casting, which directly led to the audience's biased evaluation of the entire film in a negative way. Among them, one of the most obvious mistakes is Li Chengbin, who starred in Bai Zihua. During the casting stage, the audience's expectations for the key role of Bai Zihua were greatly reduced because Li Chengbin's appearance did not meet expectations. The mismatch between the appearance and the character image directly affects the audience's acceptance of the character of Bai Zihua, which is also directly reflected in the box office, making the film fail to meet the level expected by the audience.
An actor must not only have an inner drama in acting, but also look decent, otherwise it will be for nothing. In addition to the main role, the supporting roles cannot be sloppy. For example, in "Flower Thousand Bone", the shape of the important character of Killing Qianmo is simply uncomfortable to watch. The casting mistake directly ruined the scene of killing Qianmo, and the audience looked like they were watching a lantern when the power suddenly went out, and there was no light all of a sudden.
The feeling of being immersed in the emotions of the characters just burst instantly, just like blowing a big bubble, and it disappeared with a snap. Choosing the wrong actor is not only a problem with Bai Zihua, but also damages the quality of the whole film. A successful TV series is like a perfect concert, every element has to resonate in harmony, and the casting of the actors is like the principal of the orchestra, which is related to the texture of the whole movement.
Choosing the wrong actor is like putting an out-of-tune instrument in a symphony orchestra, which not only deforms the character, but also messes up the whole atmosphere. It's like a sudden note on the ** meeting, which can ruin the feeling of the whole piece. This made the audience very upset, because they couldn't settle down to watch the play at all, and they were always stumped by the problem of appearance.
Whether an actor's appearance is worthy of the role has always been a matter that needs to be carefully considered. This inconsistency can lead to a sense of disconnection in the character's performance, and the audience will tend to focus on the actor rather than the character itself, which will reduce the overall perception.
When selecting an actor, making sure that the actor matches the image of the character being played is essential to maintaining the integrity of the character's performance. However, the example in "Flower Thousand Bone" shows that although Li Chengbin is somewhat inconsistent with Bai Zihua in appearance, this does not prevent him from becoming an excellent actor.
Li Chengbin shows a unique temperament and excellent acting skills, which is more suitable for playing some deep and restrained roles. When casting, directors should focus more on observing the multifaceted nature of the actor, rather than just limiting it to a certain type of role. The actor's performance ability is a key factor that affects the audience's perception of the role, and appearance is only part of it.
In a play, the construction of characters involves the transmission of emotions, the advancement of the story, and the interaction with other characters. Therefore, actors not only need their external image to match the role setting, but also need to inject vitality into the role through excellent performances. The director should pay more attention to the overall performance of the actor when casting, and not only focus on the matching degree of appearance.
Lee Sung-bin's excellent acting skills in other works, as well as his versatility in different types of roles, should be the basis for directors to evaluate the adaptability of actors more comprehensively. A great actor should be able to show diversity in different types of roles and captivate the audience with a unique way of acting.
In contrast, Mao Zijun is a highly anticipated actor, but his potential has not yet been fully explored. His unique acting skills and outstanding appearance are more suitable for playing some eclectic and distinctive roles. When casting, directors should pay more attention to the potential and adaptability of the actors, giving them more opportunities to showcase their diverse acting talents.
Despite this, directors are often trapped in the shackles of traditional concepts when casting, and fail to really find the shining points of the actors, resulting in Mao Zijun being trapped in the fate of supporting roles.
In order to dig deeper and develop the potential of actors, directors need to be more open-minded, dare to think outside the traditional box, and provide more opportunities for actors. Casting mistakes are not only a problem of individual actors, but also related to the quality of the overall film.
Take "Flower Thousand Bone" as an example, the casting mistake directly led to the negative evaluation of the audience and the failure of the box office. This case reminds us once again that directors must be cautious when conducting casting, taking into account the overall adaptability of the actors. The fit between the actor and the character is not only considered in terms of appearance, but also whether the actor truly understands and can interpret the inner qualities of the character.
Only on the basis of this overall adaptability can the film better present the effect desired by the director. Actors who really have acting skills and good looks are the key guarantee for the success of TV series. Overemphasizing the appearance of the actor can easily lead to deviation in casting and neglect the cultivation of acting skills, which may ultimately affect the quality of the work.
Therefore, the planners of the film must skillfully find the best proportion of casting like weighing on a scale. Not only do they need to carefully measure the external image of the actors, but they also need to carefully ponder the depth of their acting skills. Only in this way can we create more engaging and popular works. Mao Zijun's case shows us that each actor has a unique potential waiting to be tapped.
As a director, you must have a pair of sharp eyes, and you must be good at seeing the unique temperament and potential of the actors. Only by becoming more open-minded and careful in the selection of actors can the film be infused with fresh vitality and make the audience's eyes shine.
Although the casting problem of "Flower Thousand Bone" is quite troublesome for the whole film, it also provides us with an opportunity to reflect. As an actor with unlimited potential, Mao Zijun needs directors to have a broader vision and be good at exploring and cultivating his characteristics.
In today's booming TV drama industry, the importance of casting cannot be ignored. I hope that future films will perform better in this regard, and present more surprises and touches to the audience.
