Nandu News reporter Lin JingwuOn March 1, after the update of the TV series "Ice Hunting" ended, the starring Yao Anna posted a farewell to her role on her social ** platform and responded to the recent controversy about her acting skills. She mentioned in the article, "Accept well-intentioned criticism and suggestions, respect all likes and dislikes", "The future is long, I believe that Xiao Zhao will fade away, and Xiao Yao will continue to grow".
Since its broadcast on February 21, "Ice Hunting" has received widespread attention from many viewers and netizens, and word of mouth has continued to diverge. "Yao Anna's acting skills", "the reason why Director Hunting Ice chose Yao Anna" and other topics have appeared on the hot search, causing heated discussions. Yao Anna was also questioned about bringing capital into the group because of her identity as "Huawei's second princess", and her acting skills were blunt and were jokingly called "chicken-eating acting" by netizens. The well-known screenwriter Wang Hailin also commented on his acting skills on social **, saying, "If you can't act, don't talk about anything else." ”
It is reported that "Ice Hunting" tells the story of Zhao Younan (played by Yao Anna), a female policewoman who has just started to fight drugs, and set the anti-drug target on Huang Zongwei (played by Zhang Songwen), who is engaged in chemical trading, and unremittingly pursues the drug trafficking group led by him, and successfully exterminates the drug gang. The director of the play is Gao Qunshu, and his representative works include "Tokyo Trial", "The Wind", "West Wind Spirit", "Detective Hunter Zhang", "Conquest" and other film and television works.
On February 23, director Gao Qunshu posted a long post on his personal social ** platform in response, denying that Yao Anna brought capital into the group, that there was Huawei investment in the production process, and that he and Zhang Songwen received Huawei red envelopes and other controversial topics. Gao Qunshu explained that the reason for choosing Yao Anna as the lead actor is that "I like to use non-professional actors who have no acting training." At the same time, he also said: "Yao Anna is very simple, without any traces of acting training, and her image and temperament are also very similar to a fledgling female policeman." In particular, there has been no plastic surgery. And said, "What I didn't expect was that this play was actually said to be bought by capital."
On February 29, Gao Qunshu also responded to the controversy about Yao Anna's acting skills again in an interview with the famous producer Tan Fei**. He mentioned that he could give Yao Anna a "passing score" of 60 points in this play.
