The theme of ancient Xianxia has always been loved by the audience, and the two recently broadcast Xianxia dramas "Shen Yin" and "Pray for the Present Dynasty" have set off a wave of drama watching. Among them, "Praying for the Present Dynasty" quickly occupied the market with its unique charm in the absence of large-scale marketing warm-up. In this drama, Yu Shuxin's character Yue Qi has attracted the attention of a large number of audiences with her distinctive personal characteristics and exaggerated acting style.
Yue Qi's character is a cute, kind, smart and resolute girl, which was originally very popular with the audience. However, Yu Shuxin seems to have used too much force in this role, turning the cute trait into a silly and sweet feeling.
In the play, Yu Shuxin's self-introduction and the plot of eating noodles are impressive. Her bobbing head, giggling and jumping expressions, as well as exaggerated micro-expressions, give people a sense of excess. Although this overly forceful acting method increases the dramatic effect to a certain extent, it makes the characters seem unrealistic, and instead gives people a greasy sense of narcissism.
Especially in the rivalry with Xu Kai, Yu Shuxin's performance was even more surprising. The two are commensurate with brother and sister, which should have been a relaxed and happy atmosphere, but Yu Shuxin's micro-expressions are too overflowing, and she changes her face at every turn, which makes people feel a little embarrassed. Whether it's a smile, anger, or smugness, her expression seems too deliberate and lacks a sense of naturalness.
In the emotional scene with Dr. Bian, Yu Shuxin's performance was also unsatisfactory. Although the plot of her injury to protect Dr. Bian is very touching, her acting skills make people feel a little dramatic. Frowning slightly and closing his eyes, it feels more like he has been bitten by a mosquito than a poisoned needle. This kind of presentation obviously does not allow the audience to truly feel the emotional depth of the character.
However, turnip and cabbage have their own love. For Yu Shuxin's "exaggerated acting skills", many viewers also expressed their likes. This very different style of performance really brings a sense of freshness to the audience and makes people feel refreshed. But as an actor, you should still perform as closely as possible to fit the characteristics of the role, and avoid falling into a misunderstanding that everything is the same.
In general, the popularity of the drama "Pray for the Future" is closely related to Yu Shuxin's acting style. Although her performance is mixed, it is undeniable that it is this unique way of interpretation that has attracted more people's attention to this drama.
I hope that in future works, the actors can pay more attention to the characteristics of the characters and present more realistic and natural performances for the audience.
