Recently, with the broadcast of many film and television works, the performances of many popular actors have attracted attention again. Among them, the most eye-catching is the performance of Chen Shu, Di Lieba and Jiang Xin in the new play, especially when interpreting the crying scene, the difference in performance techniques is obvious. This article will analyze and compare the performance styles of the trio, in order to inspire the development of the industry.
In 2023, Chen Shu will successively participate in two dramas, "The Disappeared Eleventh Floor" and "Imperfect Victim". As a powerful actor, Chen Shu has always been known for his extensive acting and solid acting skills, and many of his works have achieved a bumper harvest at the box office, which is regarded as the guarantee of the producer. This time, however, things seem to be a little different.
After the two new dramas began to be broadcast, many viewers complained in the comment area that Chen Shu's facial expression was stiff, which was not at all as natural and smooth as before. Attentive netizens also found that Chen Shu's face shape seemed to have changed, especially the apple muscles on both sides bulged high, which was completely different from the previous impression.
Experienced industry insiders judge that this is most likely due to the limited movement of facial muscles due to excessive filler implantation. In fact, Chen Shu once revealed in an interview that he had low self-esteem since he was a child because his brother was good-looking, and his mother also favored his brother. Some people analyze that this may be one of the reasons why she embarked on the road of medical aesthetics.
Whatever the considerations, the obvious "technological face" has seriously affected Chen Shu's performance. In "The Disappearing Eleventh", she plays a policewoman who originally needed to change her facial expressions frequently to express her inner emotions, but in the end she was far less fluent than before.
What's more, netizens directly compared Chen Shu's close-up with Cai Ming's **, the godfather of acting, and the facial contours of the two are strikingly similar, "Is it done according to the proportions of Teacher Cai Ming" has become a popular ridicule.
Chen Shu, who was already famous, did not expect to end up as a typical case of "medical beauty killer". Facts have once again proved that in the actor industry, natural facial expressions are very important, and once there is a problem due to medical aesthetic surgery, no matter how strong the acting skills are, it will not help.
Chen Shu's encounter this time indicates that there is a greater potential crisis in the industry. We must face up to this problem and fundamentally guide actors to establish a correct value orientation to avoid more people following in the footsteps of the past. Senior professionals should also speak out and warn younger generations not to blindly pursue so-called beauty. Because in this line of work, the beauty of nature and restraint is the most likely to move people's hearts, which is the test of time and lens.
If Chen Shu represents a typical "scientific and technological face", then Di Lieba is a frequent visitor to "exaggerated performances".
In the TV series "Public Prosecution" released this year, Reba played a prosecutor An Ni. There was a scene where she needed to show strong sadness, but it once again caused the audience to complain. Reba in the camera bowed his head and frowned, shedding tears, but he failed to empathize with people at all.
In fact, as early as when he participated in "Long Song Xing", Reba's crying scene was criticized. She is still a fixed routine of frowning and closing her eyes, and her exaggerated expressions are difficult to make the audience touch their hearts. The performance in "Public Prosecution" has not improved much this time, and it is still at the level of blunt artificiality, which is out of touch with the emotions of the characters and difficult to move people's hearts.
According to industry analysis, Reba has long been limited by the label of "traffic actor", attaching importance to appearance and ignoring the accumulation of connotative acting skills. In the infectious crying scene, this deviation is vividly expressed. If an actor wants to truly advance, he must face up to his own shortcomings, otherwise his career development will be seriously affected.
Some commentators analyzed that a new generation of flowers like Reba may not want to progress, but they have gone astray from the beginning. In the entertainment industry, the misunderstanding of traffic first and packaging first is deeply rooted, which makes many actors fall into the strange circle of exaggerated performances while becoming famous. When I came back to my senses, I found that I had gone in circles without any substantial progress.
We can't be too harsh on Reba, because she is also a victim of this misunderstanding. In fact, if this problem is fundamentally solved, the unspoken rule of the industry that attaches importance to traffic and light acting skills should be broken. We need more influential directors and producers to stand up and give positive and correct value guidance to the actors, so that the external beauty is just the icing on the cake, and the inner emotion and skills are the foundation of the artist's life.
In contrast, Jiang Xin showed excellent acting skills in the new drama "Stalker", especially the crying scene.
In the play, Jiang Xin plays Tao Yuling, and performs secret missions with the actor Huang Xiaoming. There was a scene where she killed the traitor alone, and when she reported afterwards, her hands trembled, her voice trembled, and she described what happened incoherently. After being comforted by Huang Xiaoming, she finally couldn't help but break down and cry.
Jiang Xin grasped this scene very well, her expression, voice and even body language are natural and fluent, which fits the inner activities of the characters, and successfully makes the audience follow her emotional ups and downs and be moved.
Many industry experts and audiences have said that Jiang Xin's scene can be called a textbook-level perfect performance, which directly proves that she is an outstanding acting school. And her natural face has also become a plus point for expressing emotions, in stark contrast to many "tech face" actors who have needles and breast augmentation.
In fact, as early as many years ago, Jiang Xin set up a character with superb acting skills in the role of Concubine Hua in "The Legend of Zhen Huan". Since then, he has played well in various dramas, and he is a well-deserved first person in the strength stream. And this wonderful performance has undoubtedly won her a higher evaluation in the industry, and I believe that the throne of the award will follow.
*Audiences and critics of this crying scene agree that much of Jiang Xin's success is based on the natural flow of facial expressions, which allows her to delicately interpret the joys and sorrows of the characters. If you compare it with Chen Shu and Reba and others, Jiang Xin's original face is undoubtedly her plus.
Indeed, natural and restrained beauty tends to move people more. This also reflects the reality hidden behind the cruelty of the entertainment industry. Many actors are under pressure and choose to have their faces filled with various substances, but this often backfires, which not only weakens the appeal of the performance, but also attracts criticism from the outside world. We need to give these actors more moral support to help them build self-confidence, rather than blindly spurring them to pursue so-called "perfection".
Jiang Xin's outstanding performance this time will undoubtedly encourage more actors to follow the path of acting, rather than kitsch to please. We are also sincerely happy for Jiang Xin. After so many years of hard work, she has conquered countless audiences with her excellent acting skills, and I believe that the honors behind the scenes will follow.
Acting determines the ceiling, and we firmly believe that. So, let's look forward to Jiang Xin's more brilliant life in the future.
Medical beauty problems plague countless actors, but that is only the exterior after all. Natural appearance coupled with solid internal skills is the foundation of the artist's foothold. Acting skills need to be accumulated consistently, and there is no room for shortcuts. It is expected that professionals in the industry can bypass the fog of exaggerated hype, constantly improve themselves, and dedicate themselves to this cause with better works.
