After a year, "Infinite Transcendence Class" is back on the screen again, but what attracts attention this season is its unique style. This season's program invited Er Dongsheng, Zeng Zhiwei, Hao Lei, Ningning, Wu Zhenyu, Liang Jiahui, Ye Tong, Zhao Yazhi, and the joining of powerful actors has added a lot of highlights to the show. However, the design of the director team in the planning of the script has aroused discussions and questions from the audience. This reminds people of Zhang Ziyi's angry questioning in an episode of the show: Is this profession underestimated?
*After the first episode of the second season, people were deeply impressed by Zhu Zixiao's "live streaming" performance. From his rhetoric to his impassioned speeches, to his crazy gnawing on chicken feet**, it seems more suitable to be a salesman than an actor. This raises questions about whether the profession of actor is such a "low-level" profession. At the same time, He Luoluo's (Xu Yining)'s performance has also become the focus of discussion. Despite his handsome appearance and good at makeup, he appears hollow and lacks emotional expression in his performances. There is a huge gap between his acting skills and his idol style, suggesting that he is still some way from becoming a qualified actor. Ji Lingchen used to be a model, and he still looks jerky on the road of acting. Despite successfully conquering the mentor with three different "I love you" performances, it was still inadequate in the face of professional actors. The performance of these actors has led to the reflection of the entire entertainment industry: is everyone suitable to be an actor? Is the actor's profession really so "low-level"?
However, the most eye-catching thing about "Infinite Transcendence Class" is not only the actors, but even the mentors have been questioned. Although powerful actors such as Liang Jiahui, Wu Zhenyu, and Tranquility have excellent acting skills, whether Zeng Zhiwei, Zhao Yazhi, Han Xue and other mentors are really suitable for teaching acting skills has become the focus of discussion. Over the years, Zeng Zhiwei's acting style has not changed, his line skills are poor, and his acting skills are not exquisite. Zhao Yazhi's performance in early idol dramas is incomparable with her performance at the age of 70, and it seems that it is difficult to get rid of the idol baggage. Although Han Xue's acting skills are passable, she always seems restrained, and her affinity with the audience is slightly lacking. The narrowness of the instructors' comments has also raised questions. After He Luoluo came on the court, he asked if he put on makeup and lipstick, and after Ji Lingchen introduced himself, Zeng Zhiwei was anxious to uncover his scars, for fear of missing interesting gossip. These actions are perceived as discrimination against actors, rather than professional reviews.
It's not for nothing that viewers have low ratings for the second season of "Infinite Transcendence Class". The unqualified actors and the excessive attention paid to gossip by the mentors caused the show to deviate from its original intention. Compared with 2018's "I Am an Actor", "Infinite Transcendence Class" seems to focus more on hyping up the gossip of actors than on improving acting skills. This disappointed the audience, who thought that the show had moved away from the original intention of focusing on acting.
Overall, the performance of the second season of "Infinite Transcendence Class" has triggered people's thinking about actors, mentors, and the entire entertainment industry. Is the actor really for everyone? Does the instructor have the ability to teach acting? Is the entertainment industry focusing too much on gossip and ignoring the real acting improvement? These questions have caused the audience to worry and doubt about the future of the entertainment industry. Perhaps, the entertainment industry needs to pay more attention to programs that improve acting skills, rather than indulging in gossip and glitz.
