In the vast starry sky of the movie, there are moments when the stars seem to dim their light, and one can't help but sigh, what makes them no longer shine? Today, we will focus on Deng Chao, a superstar who once shone on the screen, but now seems to have encountered a dim moment.
Although Deng Chao's new film "Chinese Ping Pong" received a 7-point evaluation on Douban, it was not satisfactory at the box office. The movie that was originally planned to debut on the National Day schedule was repeatedly changed for various reasons, and finally lost its original aura. After its release, the proportion of the film's schedule dropped sharply, from 102% all the way down to 47%, and was finally forced to withdraw, and the opportunity to be released again became a thin line.
Deng Chao, the former darling of the screen, has great expectations in "Chinese Ping Pong". He once revealed to ** that it took five years of hard work just to conceive the script, and he is confident that the level of this work is good. However, despite all the propaganda tactics, Deng Chao's attempt in the field of directing seems to have failed as expected.
Why doesn't the audience buy him anymore? Perhaps one of the reasons lies in the niche nature of the subject matter and Deng Chao's own controversy. Before the release of the movie, the audience had already formed a negative impression of the combination of "Deng Chao + Yu Baimei", which undoubtedly had an impact on the final performance of the movie.
Looking back on Deng Chao's acting career, he was once a dazzling star on the screen. From Emperor Shunzhi in "Young Son of Heaven", to Zhao Erdou in "Assembly", to the affectionate and obsessive role in "Scorching Sun", Deng Chao's acting skills have always been recognized. What makes his performance wonderful is his ability to skillfully express the nuances of emotion, bringing to life the drama of the character's heart.
In "Young Son of Heaven", Shunzhi's infatuation with Concubine Dong E, the feeling of love but not being able to get it, was vividly interpreted by him. In "Li Mi's Conjecture", he faced the struggle of his lover but couldn't recognize him, which made the audience deeply feel the depression and helplessness of the character.
And in "Scorching Sun", his devotion to the role has almost reached the point of going crazy, and he has won high praise. Deng Chao once said in an interview that he believes that there is only right and wrong in acting, so he is fully committed to each role, and each role has a unique place in his heart.
However, when we look back at Deng Chao's career, we will find that at one point, he chose a very different path. He began to get involved in variety shows, and his image became more humorous and more accessible to the people. "Run, Brother" made him famous, but at the same time, it also made his image as an actor a little blurred.
In "The Breakup Master", some people think that Deng Chao's performance is a bit excessive, and some of his exaggerated performances in the movie, such as the clip of the man dancing pole dance, are regarded as ridiculous by the audience. Although the movie did well at the box office, Deng Chao's image was questioned to a certain extent.
The bad reviews of Villain Angel also took a toll on his previous positive image. Deng Chao seems to have an obsession with comedy. He has had a keen interest in comedy since he was a child, but in his comedy works, the audience does not find the tragedy behind that classic comedy, as well as the irony and challenge to reality.
When we look at Deng Chao's film and television career, we can't help but ask, is the once crazy Deng Chao still there? Will Deng Chao, who revealed unknown fear and anxious sadness in his eyes in "Li Mi's Conjecture", come back?
In this dazzling world of film and television, we look forward to Deng Chao being able to find his place again and shine again. No matter which path he chooses, as viewers, we hope to see that heart-warming actor Deng Chao again, and not just a funny character in a variety show. After all, every star has its own light, and we always expect them to shine in the most suitable sky.
