The drama "Ice Hunting" is indeed less investment, but it has attracted great attention from the audience. This may be due to the shortage of dramas and the audience's love for the genre, as well as the expectations brought by the cast. However, the word-of-mouth was not good after the series was broadcast, especially the performance of Yao Anna and Zhang Songwen was criticized.
Yao Anna's appearance caused a lot of controversy at the beginning. She was questioned because of her rich second-generation status to enter the entertainment industry and became the starring role. However, she starred as the female lead with a neutral appearance and masculine temperament, which looked fine in the poster, but after the actual broadcast, it made the audience feel embarrassed and greasy. Yao Anna's transformation in the play and her performance have been criticized, with some people believing that she lacks beauty and is even more inappropriate than the male star's anti-female makeup. And in the collaboration with other actors, her performance also failed to meet the audience's expectations, making people worry that her attempt to turn around as the female lead may fail.
At the same time, the performance of the leading actor Zhang Songwen was also criticized by the audience. Although he was once a smash hit in "Hurricane", his image and performance in "Ice Hunting" made people feel greasy and bland. Viewers expressed disappointment with his performance and questioned whether he deserved to be so touted.
In response to the audience's doubts about Yao Anna and Zhang Songwen, the director came forward to respond. The director said that the investment in "Ice Hunting" was very limited, Huawei did not participate in the investment, and Yao Anna did not receive a red envelope. The director explained that Yao Anna was chosen because of her almost amateur background, and she didn't like actors with performance traces. Regarding the rumors that Zhang Songwen received red envelopes, the director said that the drama started filming before the broadcast of "Hurricane", and Zhang Songwen was not popular at that time, he volunteered to fight for this role. However, these responses did not change the word-of-mouth of the series and the performance of the actors.
In any case, the drama "Ice Hunting" does have a low level of investment, but it has attracted the attention of the audience because of its theme and cast. Although the show has achieved some success in popularity, it cannot meet the expectations of the audience. Yao Anna and Zhang Songwen's performance problems also left a bad impression on the audience. For the reputation of the series and the performance of the actors, it should also be necessary for the crew and actors to work hard to improve, improve their acting skills and present better works. Only in this way can you regain your reputation and recognition in the hearts of your audience.
