In the first quarter of 2022, many popular works carried the mainstream platform schedule and the traffic era ended
.
The first quarter of 2022 has passed, and realist themes such as "The World", "Xiao Min's Home", "Heart", "The Beginning", and "Rival" continue to explode. Chasing the Love Family" and "Outside the Drum Tower" carried the mainstream platform schedule.
An outstanding feeling these works bring to the audience is that middle-aged actors have become synonymous with acting skills. They have contributed the empowering value of a mature actor to the role in the play without exception, and together they have achieved a high degree of completion of the work.
Middle-aged actors usher in spring
Advance to the head segment
Once, middle-aged actors sighed helplessly, "The times need traffic, so we will wander." With the comprehensive management of the regulatory authorities and the self-elimination of the market, the only traffic theory has been significantly corrected in the national drama market.
On the one hand, the producers and the film purchasing platforms are more cautious in using young traffic actors due to the safety factor of broadcasting. hot spot.
The chance of appearance of middle-aged actors who do not rely on their looks and strengths has greatly increased.
According to the current trend, if the script can continue to compress the suspended bubbles and abandon the creative direction of customizing topics for hot searches, middle-aged actors with life accumulation and business ability will have more room to play, and there will be a steady stream of excellent works worth looking forward to.
At an awards ceremony in 2019, Haiqing, Yao Chen, and Liang Jing said "Humblely": "As actresses reach a certain age, they need young directors to support them. Please give the directors a chance." After three years, Haiqing relied on her The most comfortable "daughter-in-law" Feng Xiaoqin has been on the hot search for many times. It is not the young director who "gives a chance", but Teng Huatao, who gave her a chance to become famous 15 years ago.
Let's take a look at the other actresses who have been most discussed since the beginning of 2022: Yin Tao, Song Jia, Song Chunli, and Sarina in "The World", Liu Dan, "Sister Pot" in "The Beginning", and Qin Hailu, the funny person in "Xiao Min's Home" , Tan Zhuo and Yan Bingyan of "Rival"... Whether the protagonist or the supporting role, they all have their own aura and have successfully made their way out of the circle.
The spring of middle-aged actors has also arrived.
Wu Gang, Lei Jiayin, and Yu Hewei have already advanced to the top tier. Needless to say, the first echelon is also full of talents, which is remarkable: Guo Jingfei, Zhang Songwen, Qin Hao, Nie Yuan, Zhang Luyi, and Wang Xiao can all be on their own, even their father The full-flavoured Sha Yi is also like a duck to water in dramas and variety shows.
Not only modern dramas "change the sky", but also ancient costume dramas with youthful faces for a long time.
The "Mountains, Rivers and Moonlight" currently being broadcast is all about old dramas. National actor Chen Baoguo plays Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
This time, Chen Baoguo played Zhu Yuanzhang again after a lapse of 6 years. As he said, "I play the emperor without blowing a beard and staring, and I don't shout."
This time, he skillfully combined Zhu Yuanzhang's majesty as an emperor with his father's "down-to-earth spirit", and gave him a very pyrotechnic soul.
Xu Da, the founding military commander of the Ming Dynasty, is played by Emperor Zhang Fengyi.
Zhang Fengyi's own tough guy temperament fits well with the general's temperament in Mobei, and he has found an ingenious balance point in his interpretation of the contrast between Xu Da's role as "a mighty general abroad" and "a kind old father at home" , breaking the public's sense of distance from historical figures.
In addition to the "Double Vision Emperor" configuration, there are also Wang Jinsong who plays Liu Bowen, Wang Qingxiang who plays Li Shanchang, the Korean prince, Yao Lu, Du Yuan, and Zhang Guangbei.
Boil until the flow ends
It is the determination to cultivate a lifetime
In the era of traffic, even if Xiao Xianrou and Xiaohuadan have no acting skills and rely on mapping work, as long as they have good looks and fans, they will have a lot of opportunities.
At the end of the traffic era, it is not natural for middle-aged actors to shine. They can endure loneliness, keep their original aspirations, and have the determination to constantly break through themselves. All these points must be achieved.
Yuan Quan said that he has never had a mid-life crisis. "Anyway, acting is a life-long task, and you can play different roles at different stages." Characters; Liu Mintao has experienced withdrawal and comeback. Liu Lin and Liu Dan were unknown when they were young. When they reached middle age, they were finally remembered by the audience and became trustworthy acting roles.
Maybe it's because they cherish the opportunity to shape their roles. After the middle-aged actors have more opportunities to appear, they can clearly feel that they are trying to avoid the similarity of roles, and are not willing to be just a "tool man" who has passed the stage of acting.
Guo Jingfei has contributed two completely different characters this year, from the poorest spy in "Rival" to the stereotypical university professor in "Chasing Family"; Lei Jiayin is an ordinary person Zhou Bingkun who earns enough sighs in "The World", and "Meet the Season". ” turned into the president of a listed company worth over 100 million; Song Jia also leaped from Zhou Rong, an intellectual with a sense of age, to a fashionable celebrity with professional feelings in “Dressed Up”.
These actors have more or less said that acting is a lifetime thing, not anxious or anxious.
Perhaps a person's words can deceive others, but their state cannot deceive others.
If a person does not intend to work in a field for a lifetime, how can he survive these years of traffic, how can he be willing to practice acting skills in loneliness, either live broadcast or simply change careers to make money, he has long since quit the showbiz.
The popularity speaks by the works
Remember to choose dramas carefully and avoid pits reasonably
Behind the popularity of middle-aged actors is the embarrassment of traffic actors: empty popularity, no works.
However, the sense of crisis of middle-aged actors is that since every time they go out of the circle, they have to rely on their works to speak, so a good script, a good team, a clear creative idea, and go all out to treat each role, every link must not fall off the chain , otherwise it will be immediately beaten back to its original shape.
Liu Tao played a friendly role as Director Du in "The Beginning". Throughout the article, I felt that she was really just "guesting", frowning and speaking lines throughout the whole process, rigid and serious performance, and her acting skills were hanged and beaten by Liu Yijun all the way.
Among the middle-aged actors, Jin Dong was once unmatched in terms of work and popularity, but he has been circling among the elites of commercial dramas these years, and his aesthetic fatigue is serious. A kind of "breakout" that breaks the comfort zone, but it doesn't actually get out of the inertia of perfect characters. What this drama leaves an impression is Huang Zhizhong and Yan Ni, who have more angular human nature and more angular performances, and lack the halo of male protagonists. Jin Dong has no advantage at all.
Choose dramas carefully and avoid pits reasonably.
It is not easy to achieve the big truth that everyone understands. For example, even actors such as Lei Jiayin and Yuan Quan, who are well-known for cherishing feathers, are not spared.
The just finished "Meeting Season" did a lot of damage to the reputation of Lei Jiayin and Yuan Quan.
In "My First Half of My Life", one of them started the popular mode with "ex-husband brother", and the other made a sample for a really high-end strong woman.
"Meeting Season" comes from Noon Sunshine. The screenwriters and directors have the foundation for the successful previous works, but the strong "strong plot" story cannot be justified. Even if Lei Jiayin and Yuan Quan play the so-called "contemporary Romeo and Juliet" seriously, they will not be able to restore this film. The reputation of the work fell to the bottom.
