In the starry sky of the movie, there are moments when the stars seem to dim their light, and people can't help but sigh, what makes them no longer shine? Today, let's talk about Deng Chao, a star that used to shine on the screen, but now it seems to have encountered a dim moment.
The box office of "Chinese Ping Pong" was not ideal, although the movie had a Douban score of 7 points, it still failed to make too many waves on the screen. The film, which was originally planned to appear on the National Day schedule, was constantly changed due to various reasons, and finally lost its original aura. The proportion of films scheduled after the release has dropped sharply, from 102% slipped to 47%, and finally had to choose to withdraw the file, and the chance of re-release can only be an adventure.
Deng Chao, the former screen darling, poured great expectations into this movie. He once revealed to ** that it took five years to conceive the script alone, and he thought his work was well filmed this time. However, even after exhausting all kinds of publicity methods, Deng Chao's attempt in the field of directing does not seem to have come to fruition.
Why don't the audience pay anymore? Among them, the niche nature of the subject matter and Deng Chao's own controversy may be one of the reasons. Before the release of the film, the audience had a preset negative impression of the combination of "Deng Chao + Yu Baimei", which undoubtedly had an impact on the final performance of the movie. Deng Chao's acting career used to be so radiant. 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 acting skills so good is that he is able to bring the subtleties of emotion to life through his performances.
In "Young Son of Heaven", Shunzhi's deep affection for Concubine Dong E, the complex emotions that cannot be loved, are vividly interpreted. In "Li Mi's Conjecture", the kind of restraint that can't recognize each other in the face of a lover makes the audience deeply feel the distress and helplessness of the character. And in "Scorching Sun", the kind of devotion that almost went crazy for the role made his acting skills highly recognized. Deng Chao once said in an interview that he believes that there is only accurate and inaccurate performance, he is so committed to every role, and every role has an exclusive place in his heart. However, when we look back at Deng Chao's career, we find that for a while, he chose a different path. He began to dabble in variety shows, and his image began to become more funny and more accessible to the people. "Run, Brother" made him a big hit, but at the same time, it also made his image as an actor a little blurred.
In "The Breakup Master", Deng Chao's acting skills are considered exaggerated by some people, and some of his performances in the movie, such as the pole dancing scene in the male pretence, are considered absurd by the audience. Although the movie did well at the box office, Deng Chao's image was questioned to a certain extent. The low score of "Villain Angel" also affected his previous positive image. Deng Chao's comedy road seems to be an obsession in his heart. He had a strong interest in comedy when he was in school, but in his comedy works, the audience did not find the tragedy behind the classic comedy, the irony and disobedience to reality.
When we look at Deng Chao's film and television career, we can't help but ask, is Deng Chao, who used to be crazy about drama on the screen, still there? Will Deng Chao, who had unknown fear and anxious sadness in his eyes in "Li Mi's Conjecture", come back? In this bizarre film and television world, we look forward to Deng Chao finding his place and shining again. No matter which path he chooses, as an audience, we all hope to see that heart-warming actor Deng Chao again, 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 sky that suits them best.
