What is the first TV series since debut?
For more than 20 years in the film industry, Zhang Ziyi has played many classic roles in big movies, but has never played a TV series before.
When the "Shangyang Fu" was officially announced, Wang Feng also issued an article to support his wife: "The injury of the shoulder and arm has not been completely healed. The filming for nearly ten months requires tremendous endurance and love to persist."
"Shangyang Fu" is adapted from Meiyuzhe's novel "Emperor Industry" and is one of the well-known "big heroine" works.
According to the recording and production of the TV series, the story tells that the princess Wang Yan was involved in the court battle and married the Yuzhang Wang Xiao Qi, who was a frustrated family.

Not long ago, Zhang Ziyi bluntly said in an acting variety show: "Why do you have to be an actor? Is the profession of an actor a low-level profession?" This slightly sharp remark was once controversial. Therefore, Zhang Ziyi said this. Netizens paid special attention to his performance in TV series.
Why did they switch to TV series?
In recent years, actors who have achieved excellent results in the film industry have transformed themselves into TV series, which has become a hot trend in the film and television industry.
Qin Hao starred in "Undocumented Crimes", "Sand Sea", "The Hidden Corner", Zhou Dongyu starred in "Sparrow", Ni Ni starred in "Tiansheng Long Song", "The Golden Years" and so on.
Before, I only acted in movies. Why do you all play TV shows now?
Qin Hao once said in an interview that the movie script he was given to him at that time was so bad that he wanted to scold the street. He once sent a question to Moments. Zhou Xun, who was filming Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace, urged him to also hurry up: "Where is there a good movie now? The scripts in my hand are written so stupidly one by one, how can they be played?"

He said that he only insists on whether it is a good work, no matter how big the investment is, if it is a bad film, it is better to make a good drama.
Zhang Ziyi also expressed a similar view, "Whether it is acting in a movie or a TV series, I am acting as a person. Who is this person, I think it is particularly important." "I especially want time to soar in the world of a character. a little longer."
Qin Hao once admitted that at the beginning, he wanted to make his daughter's life better. He would take more variety shows and dramas. What made him feel very strange is that after receiving these dramas, he found more dramas and dramas. Some have never had a chance to act before.

Whenever there is such news, everyone's impression is that "movie cafes" are going to "go down from the altar", but not all actors have brought performances that satisfy the audience in the TV series.
Dongyu Zhou, who has won multiple film festival awards, encountered many netizens complaining when he took part in "The Sparrow". Tang Wei's modeling and acting skills in the costume drama "Daming Fenghua" have also appeared on hot searches many times: "This line" Is it a hot mouth?" "You shouldn't get offended, just play a movie well."

What is the difference between the performance of a TV series and a movie?
The actor Zhang Yi analyzed that there are differences in size, precision, rhythm and style between the two. The size of TV drama performances is small and close to life as much as possible. In realistic movies, the performance should be extra cautious. The performance in the movie is surprised, maybe , Just blink your eyes.
Yongmei took herself as an example to introduce in detail the difference between the preparation time and the state of entry between the two. Finally, she said that the script still has a great influence on the performance of the actors.
"Because a good script can inspire everyone's most sincere feelings."

What should I do if "unacceptable"?
After the announcement of "Shangyang Fu", the opinions of netizens were also different. Some people thought that "there is a feeling of watching a movie", some people wondered "why her role is always stubborn and tough", and some others. Say, just want to see what it will be like.
In fact, there are many actors who cross-border between movies and TV dramas. The performance of an actor in a play is not only the interpretation of the actor, but also the script, lines, modeling, and even the editing rhythm.
If on the big screen, the subtle expressions and actions of the actors will attract the attention of the audience, then on the small screen, whether the role setting is complete and credible, and whether the actors' interpretation is close to reality will be an additional consideration for the audience.
Therefore, the actor's "unacceptable" is also closely related to the overall quality of the play.

Faced with various evaluations after the TV series started, Zhang Ziyi said: "I myself will relax my mind very much. No matter what the result is, I will uphold the most professional attitude and wholehearted love into the role. I think It was a particularly beautiful experience. Good luck to it."
Both film actors and TV drama actors are a part of the entire film and television drama creation group, and their ultimate goal is to add color to the characters and a complete story.
Only when everyone takes it seriously can the role and the play be more perfect.
