Zhang Ziyi 's first TV series "Shangyang Fu" just started airing, because of her age-inappropriate appearance, it attracted audience criticism. At the beginning of the first episode of
, Zhang Ziyi appeared gorgeously as the lead star. This is the protagonist Wang Yan's ritual, which is an adult ceremony performed by an ancient woman at the age of 15. Zhang Ziyi, who played this role, was 38 years old. If the majesty and coldness in the hall make the audience unable to connect with the girl in the cardamom age, then Zhang Ziyi's subsequent performance specially designed to interpret the girl's beauty and agility makes the audience feel a bit contrary.
Shen Jiayi, a professor at the School of Communication of East China Normal University, recently followed up a few episodes of " Shangyang Fu ". She feels that Zhang Ziyi's current age and temperament are after all different from the "My Father and Mother" era. "There is a sense of exhaustion on her face, which is not given by the role, but the exhaustion of the actor himself. This is difficult to conceal." In Shen Jiayi's view, Zhang Ziyi wanted to act beautifully in the previous episodes, but instead Lost the sense of proportionality of a girl, "At least the first half of the performance was not sufficiently slack. This part of acting as a girl may be too hard, but it was constrained by the role's sense of age."
When "Zhang Ziyi Girl Sense" appeared in the hot search, Zhang Ziyi couldn't help criticizing the film and the platform for marketing the "Girl Sense": "There is nothing wrong with the girl sensation, but please don't force it on me! I play Wang Yan When I was 38 years old and 42 next month, which of these two numbers has something to do with "girls"? I was very sober! The moment I received the script, I knew that to grow and change together with Wu, the audience needed one To understand and know'her' in a clean environment. I was responsible for shaping the role, and other consumption of me was unnecessary!"
Coincidentally, in " I am an actor " where Zhang Ziyi is a mentor, Another guest, Hao Lei, once criticized Jin Sha’s performance in this way: “The singer can have a girlish feeling. The singer is himself, but the actor is not. There will always be a role in front of the actor. When he reaches his age, he will act in a play of any age. I’m still in my teens, and I still feel like a girl. When I play a girl, what does the girl next to do.”
In many overhead costume dramas, Zhang Ziyi’s leading role is undoubtedly a big selling point. Personal influence opens up the situation, and increasing ratings may be a consideration of the crew's choice. In fact, from the perspective of the discussion on the first day of broadcasting, this goal has also been achieved. From the specific operation point of view, "Shangyang Fu" invited many big-name actors, which is a relatively large expenditure on the actor's salary, and then inviting a young actor who matches Zhang Ziyi is also a very expensive personnel expenditure. In addition to funding, it is even more difficult for a small flower with considerable traffic to take on the role of the previous episodes. Judging from the subtle relationship between the current entertainment stars, the top-notch Xiaohua may not be willing to participate.
"Shangyang Fu" has 68 episodes. Zhang Ziyi will interpret the story of Wang Zhang's life, that is, from a young girl to middle age. In Shen Jiayi's opinion, as a major female lead, the transformation and growth of a female role is actually an uncoverable story. Zhang Ziyi's appearance in the second half is still very exciting.
The first producer of "Shangyang Fu" is Feibao Media. According to Tianyan Check information, this is a brokerage company established in Shanghai Cangcheng Film and Television Cultural Park in 2013. Perfect Pictures and Ali Pictures are the investors of the company. Zhang Ziyi is the major shareholder of the company with a shareholding ratio of 9.35%. . In a one-minute trailer of "Shangyang Fu", only Zhang Ziyi is in all shots, and only Zhang Ziyi's name is played. It can be seen that in "Shangyang Fu", Zhang Ziyi is absolutely dominant.
"Shangyang Fu" is actually quite fateful. This ancient costume masterpiece, adapted from the Internet literary big IP "Emperor Industry", was completed in 2018. It was affected by the "Restricted Ancient Order" policy when it was planned to be broadcast. In 2019, it was renamed "Z1z Jiangshan Guren" from "Emperor Phoenix Industry". More than a year later, it was renamed "Shangyang Fu" and broadcast. In other words, this is a long backlog of costume dramas. Under the market environment at that time, the leading actress is still a trend. Three years later, I will watch the popular ones such as "Marriage before Love" and "Everyone Loves". "The heroine" Mary Su plot, the audience will inevitably feel aesthetic fatigue.
However, Zhang Ziyi's leadership did bring the top creative team in the industry to "Shangyang Fu". The chief director Hou Yong has worked with Zhang Yimou many times. He is the photographer of "My Father and Mother" and "Hero", and has collaborated with Zhang Ziyi in the movie "Jasmine Blossoms". One of the directors of the play’s photography is "OnePhilippe Lesu, the photographer of The Great Master. Art director Han Zhong is also a senior art designer in the industry who has cooperated with Zhang Ziyi. Looking at the lineup again, in addition to Zhang Ziyi, there are also talented actors from Zhou Yiwei , Yu Hewei, Hui Yinghong, Zhao Yazhi and Jia Yiping. Judging from the 12 episodes currently broadcast, the hardware aspects such as costumes, props, and setting are quite sophisticated, and the actors' acting skills are also on the standard line.
From a global perspective, the flow of film talents to dramas has become a general trend. From " House of Cards " to "Game of Thrones", the high reputation and high ratings brought by the film-level lineup, creative team, and investment volume have been recorded in the annals of history, and have also attracted such as Matthew McConaughey, Emma Stone , Nicole Kidman and other Oscar actresses. "With the changes in the media ecology, the overall social culture sinks. Going to the cinema in the future will be the same as going to the theater in the past. When mainstream audiences are more locked in small screens and mobile terminals, the status of TV dramas or online dramas begins to change. The shift of the mainstream audience has brought about the shift of funds, which in turn has brought about the shift of talents." Shen Jiayi said.
Judging from the time when the "Shangyang Fu" project was established, in the domestic range, the move of filmmakers to small screens has become a trend in the past few years. Tiansheng Long Song ", Zhang Zhen's "Chen Xiyuan", Tang Wei's "Da Ming Fenghua", Zhou Dongyu's "Sparrow" and so on. The movie actor's move to the drama is not "condescending" or "destroying", but a choice at the right time. However, when film actors moved to the small screen, they were often criticized for being "unacceptable." The audience had high expectations for the performance of film actors, and they would be disappointed if they did not match their expectations. On the other hand, what the audience questioned is that film actors have always been at the top of the chain of performance contempt. Why did they fail to act when filming a series?
From the perspective of performance, the different ways of art and creation in movies and TV shows determine the different ways in which actors perform. Shen Jiayi told CBN that film performances undoubtedly need more delicate processing. "The movie is a close-up on the big screen. The actors convey their emotions through delicate eye changes; TV dramas are very long and have many narratives. The actors' lines and emotional expressions are different from the film's performance methods." She believes that, on the other hand, The audience’s experience is also subject to different viewing modes. In the black box of the movie theater, the audience wholeheartedly accepts the information provided by the big screen and feels the actors’ subtle emotional processing and expression. However, many people chase after watching online or TV dramas. While the drama is doing other things, even watching it at double speed, it pays more attention to the changes of the story rather than the performance of the actors. Therefore, it is impossible to appreciate the delicate handling of the actors and empathize with the characters, and then feel disappointed in the actors' acting skills.
