The TV series "Ice Hunting" has been on the air for three days and updated for six episodes, and its popularity has been soaring, but word of mouth has continued to decline.
Yao Anna, the heroine of the play, was complained about most violently by the audience, some criticized her for her dull eyes and expressionlessness, and some accused her of stiff and uncoordinated movements.
Many netizens bluntly said that if there was no Zhang Songwen, they wouldn't even be able to watch an episode. The second princess is really not suitable for filming.
Yao Anna's appearance is not only her acting skills, but she was also complained by netizens because she wore a wig and wore a short skirt into the village in the first episode, especially when she was obviously a woman pretending to be a woman, but she was seen by netizens as a "man pretending to be **".
Many netizens speculated on the Internet that Princess Yao Anna probably entered this drama group with capital, and they thought that Huawei must have invested in this drama, and director Gao Qunshu was swayed by capital forces.
Because according to Yao Anna's experience, it is impossible for her to play the heroine directly, and she has to partner with senior actor Zhang Songwen.
Director Gao Qunshu responded online on February 22 that he shouted that he was wronged in response to netizens' accusations of accepting money from Huawei.
Gao Qunshu said that this drama is indeed a low-budget production, aiming to create an unpretentious drama. In the past ten years, funds have been the most scarce, and they have been raising funds every day, but now they are accused of being bound by capital, which is really wrong.
A netizen in the comment area asked: "Didn't Huawei invest money?" Gao Qunshu once again clearly denied: "How can Huawei invest money, and Ren Zhengfei will never do this." At the same time, Gao Qunshu also revealed that Yao Anna's salary is not expensive.
Gao Qunshu said that in addition to this, he also explained why he chose Yao Anna as the starring role, saying that she gave him a natural and unpretentious feeling, which is in line with the image and temperament of a policewoman.
Netizens ridiculed Yao Anna for having no talent but insisting on being an actress, Gao Qunshu retorted: "Don't discriminate against anyone, acting does not depend on talent, but requires unremitting efforts." ”
Someone else asked on the Internet when Gao Qunshu's other work "Trident" would meet everyone, and Gao Qunshu replied: It will be soon.
Gao Qunshu is a highly talented director, having directed several works such as "Tokyo Judgment", "Conquest", "The Wind" and "Detective Hunter Zhang". However, the "Ice Hunting" he directed this time unexpectedly declined in word-of-mouth, as he said, which is closely related to the poverty of the crew.
In order to reduce expenses, there were basically no high-paid actors in this play, and the male advocate Songwen was not so popular at that time, so there was no salary increase.
Gao Qunshu uses a technique similar to that of a documentary to show the plot, which has the advantage of cost savings and realism, but the disadvantage is that it can feel rough for the viewer and the post-editing is difficult to polish. For example, TV series such as "Conquest" and "Chase" have used this method of filming.
Despite the flaws in the plot and the performance of the actors, the show also has many highlights. This drama has received positive comments from the well-known "new knowledge blogger" Li Tian:
The plot gradually develops towards the climax, and it seems more and more gripping in the first five episodes, and even has the flavor of "Conquest", as if filming a police story in the form of a documentary.
Li Tianshi said that his favorite performance scene was the rivalry between Wong Chong Wei, played by Zhang Songwen, and Ami, a waiter at "Jia Yuan Fresh Noodle Restaurant".
Although these two scenes are short, they are like daily life on the streets, which triggers the follow-up casual decisions. Although Ami is a newcomer, she successfully echoes Zhang Songwen's performance.
Ah Long is also quite good as an actor, he is a growing character, from knowing nothing to eventually becoming Zhang Songwen's right-hand man, a bit like the Tang Xiaolong brothers in "Hurricane", I am very much looking forward to his next performance.
Xiaohai believes that there are three main reasons why so many people come to criticize and baash her.
She established the image of Huawei's second princess in real life, causing people to expect too much from her and pay more attention to her.
Zhang Songwen's performance and strength in the rivalry are obviously much higher, so most viewers think that Yao Anna has not yet reached the level of playing against him, and even the supporting role of Zhang Songwen is barely qualified.
Another problem was the limited budget, so most of the shots could only be completed at one time, and it was impossible for Yao to try too many different acting styles. This is also the reason why Yao Anna's makeup effect is so rough in the first episode.
In addition to some viewers who criticized Yao Anna's acting skills, there were also a few viewers who thought her performance was excellent.
Her appearance is very in line with the temperament of a policewoman in reality, and in her performance, she can also show people's impression of a policewoman who is serious and unsmiling.
First of all, her appearance is consistent with the real policewoman, and secondly, she also successfully showed everyone's serious and unsmiling impression of the policewoman in the performance.
Some people speculate that Yao Anna may have deliberately played the policewoman in this way, serious and serious, with a wooden expression, but her movements are agile, not showing weak femininity, but showing a fierce force.
Yao Anna is not a little woman who can't interpret rich expressions, and this speculation is also well-founded, because she has participated in many film and television dramas before, and her performance is quite good.
Xiaohai came to the conclusion that "Ice Hunting", a film directed by Gao Qunshu, did not accept Huawei's investment as netizens speculated, and then let Yao Anna participate in the performance. Otherwise, the film wouldn't have been shot so roughly, and the cast could have been more lavish.
The reason why Gao Qunshu invited Yao Anna to play may be because she does have the temperament of a policewoman, although she is a newcomer, she has her own traffic, which is also in line with Gao Qunshu's style of liking to use newcomers.
Yao Anna was scolded by netizens, mainly due to many factors such as acting skills and appearance, and the identity of "Huawei's second princess" inevitably made netizens have high expectations for her. In addition, more netizens think that she is not qualified to be the heroine and plays with Zhang Songwen.
Although Yao Anna is actually still young, she is not very experienced in acting. If you just play a supporting role as a policewoman, you may barely be able to cope with it, but if you directly let her play the heroine, it will inevitably cause controversy among the audience.
The criticism experienced by Yao Anna is also a challenge that the "second generation" will inevitably face when they do not receive professional training and take shortcuts to enter the entertainment industry.
