It’s time to talk about this: Hao Lei’s 42-year-old pretending to be a tender provokes controversy, but does the problem really lie in the mature actress’s pretending to be tender?
On the surface, yes.
As mentioned in many articles, Hao Lei recently played the role of a 20-year-old Gege in the play, the eldest daughter of Huang Hua in the boudoir.
was complained: the waist is big and the neck is gone.
Acting, appearance is the first threshold, the first level can not be passed, the audience can not substitute, how can the best acting?
Let’s compare Hao Lei’s speech in the variety show "I’m the Actor 3" on many actresses getting together and acting as girls: "The actor should be acting at any age at any age. He still acts as a girl in his 40s. What do you let the girl perform?"
The controversy cannot be stopped.
But, take a closer look, the controversy of Hao Lei's playfulness, or the fact that those who were questioned in the girl's teaching, looked at the back-ups, and what is behind the controversy? In other words, behind the controversy of the girl teaches, only the actress is playing tender?
What I saw was only four words: the drama rushed to the street.
The common feature of these episodes is: episode preview, full of expectations.
At first glance, they all have dream teams.
It is said that Hao Lei’s "East of the East Four Arches" can put these actors together in one play: Hao Lei, Fu Dalong, Yu Zhen, Liu Peiqi, Li Chengru... Looking forward to high scores after 20 years of "Great Mansion Gate".
Everyone believed before the show started, can this show be wrong?
effect?
A handful of Douban popular short comments-
Two big characters are visible to the naked eye-embarrassing.
And such a big battle, until now, Douban has not yet opened...
Who is to blame?
I know that you have heard enough about Hao Lei's style.
But with the launch of the latest episodes, the characters in Hao Lei's play gradually walked out of the girlhood and entered the mature stage, and you only discovered that-
turned out to be embarrassing for the actresses and never just played tenderly.
It is a pity that Hao Lei worked so hard to play a lonely role.
As soon as the episode started, the most criticized was the age of the protagonists.
Fu Dalong is 45 years old, playing the last imperial king and grandson who is holding his mother's thigh.
Hao Lei is 42 years old and plays the role of Gege who has not yet appeared in the cabinet.
Dou Xiaoxuan is 36 years old and plays the popular Peking Opera Hua Dan.
Only Liu Peiqi honestly plays the old man, and the three episodes are offline.
But let’s make it clear that Hao Lei plays, is it true that Hao Lei is a 20-year-old unmarried Gege from beginning to end?
From the perspective of the role, at least it is not a girl, but an older unmarried person.
Before marrying an ineffective male protagonist, she had already studied in Japan alone, majoring in 3 languages (proficient in four languages). At the same time, she has made achievements in the cultural and academic circles, and even caused a sensation. This experience may be based on the experience of the last Qing Dynasty, Gege, who studied in Japan when he was 19 years old. Because of the outbreak of World War II, he was forced to interrupt his studies in Japan and returned to Beijing. He did not get married until he was 36 in 1954. .
So many marketing accounts say that Hao Lei plays a young girl, and this accusation is wrong.
But doesn't it mean that Hao Lei is not so tender? No, obviously it's still tender.
From the beginning to the end, there is no mention of how old Gege is, but it is obviously not based on the last setting of the Qing Dynasty when he was married at the age of 36. The age of Gege should be around 25 years old.
The 42-year-old Hao Lei is still too strenuous to play the role to be married. Although there were not many roles in the early stage of the role, many audience members had already been dissuaded from entering, so Hao Lei would inevitably endure intense artillery fire.
I have to say that Hao Lei is still online. The facial features are very exquisite and three-dimensional, and the refined stills are still very charming, and the sense of violation disappears when the character gets closer in the later stage.
It can even be said that Hao Lei is a high score in the show.
In the past, many famous actresses played junior roles. How to do them? Acting like a baby, tugging sleeves, pouting, and sticking out tongues.
Where is the embarrassment? It's not that it's too old, and it's not that the actors have no acting skills. It's a deliberate performance.
Because it is deliberate, it is greasy. Because she always uses her expression to emphasize to you-"Look, I'm so young."
And Hao Lei's acting skills are good, very real and lifelike, without any deliberately tender effect.
Especially when the character is married, Hao Lei's performance becomes more natural-
plays the role of a "resent woman" whose mind is completely out of his mind, and Hao Lei does not have any Lines and large expressions.
only rely on a pair of eyes, and the corners of the mouth trembling slightly. The resentment and anger of being betrayed were performed, and even the sorrow and frustration of the end of the matter.
The superficially restrained performance, in fact, has inherent tension and strength.
In other words, Hao Lei's acting skills are not only still there, but also continue to dilute the embarrassment of the role.
But, can you say that this is a successful performance? still can not.
because no matter how Hao Lei plays,Her performance is still full of a void of nowhere to focus.
This kind of arrogant and tough character, shouldn't it be suitable for Hao Lei to play?
In my opinion, the weakness of Hao Lei's role is not because of her tenderness, but because she tried her best to play a role that is in love with her husband, but she became lonely.
has no plot support.
How Hao Lei uses her acting skills to be aggressive and domineering, after all, she is always strong outside.
The scary thing is not that Hao Lei plays a tender role, but makes a movie silly.
In fact, it is common for older actors to play young roles in the industry in recent years.
Seems to be on the street but actually has good acting skills include Zhou Xun in Ruyi's Legend, so-so as Tang Wei in Daming Fenghua, Tang Yan in Yanyuntai, and the more tragic performance in Da Qin Zhang Luyi in Fu, Carina Lau in New Half Life.
The "East and West Pailou East", which was already filmed but was a latecomer, accidentally caught the mainstream audience who had not yet calmed down their doubts.
The audience who frequently appeared in the show was puzzled. Why did have to use older actors to play the role?
From an industry perspective, they are all justifiable.
From the perspective of investors , it is a relatively safe choice to ask high-ranking actors to perform from beginning to end to ensure the continued popularity of the drama.
From the perspective of the creator, may think that the role covers the life journey from youth to maturity, and there are various risks of expression in the early stage of using young actors.
From the perspective of the actor, may think that there are not many scenes in the young age of the character, which is not a foul. That's why Hao Lei said that in a variety show after acting in this drama.
The problem is that in the past few years, the threshold of the audience's "sense of disobedience" towards being tender has gradually decreased. Perhaps Hao Lei had never expected this.
But another thing that may be more unexpected by these acting schools is that 's failed plot eventually pushed their performance into a more embarrassing situation.
Let’s talk about this drama. Look at the synopsis: This drama tells the story of a delicious and fun counsellor Belle Haran from the 1920s to the 1940s. He got one by mistake. A story that records the dense sparseness of the treasures of the imperial tombs and a sudden change in fate from then on.
“The play is set in Beijing, incorporating eye-catching elements such as Peking opera, food, gangsters, adventure, family ethics, etc., and paints the sacrifices and struggles of small and medium-sized people in the era of change into a bleak and tragic legendary picture.”
But after watching the show, how do you describe the plot of this show?
Mary Su who is over-aged. Young adventures.
Generally speaking, most of the plots are difficult to convince the audience.
The story lays out many strategic lines triggered by treasure hunting.
But these strategic plays are almost trivial. Almost all the characters in the play often have a lot of confusing behaviors that lack logical support: Wang Gonggong saw his godson Wang Sihai begging for "secret", and stabbed him with a dagger without saying a word, and was killed in the end.
The Haber family was inexplicably destroyed by the group, which is even more incomprehensible.
Of course the biggest problem is the male lead.
The brain circuit of the main creation is also very magical. It is insisted that a legend who "guards the national treasure" be molded into a strange flower, and it will not play cards according to reason.
First of all, he has a personal setting. As a dude who loves Peking opera,After the male protagonist got married with the female protagonist he didn't like, he never got married with his wife Tong Lihua (Hao Lei). On the contrary, he and his childhood friend Lou Xiaoyue (Dou Xiaoxuan) got better, and he had his own children. But she didn't dare to take Lou Xiaoyue home.
Secondly, this character is not only intimidated, but also stupid.
In the play, he came to find Chef Xie, and when he picked up a jar of old soup, he found that Chef Xie was lying in a pool of blood. The first reaction was: Uncle Uncle, stop making trouble. Then he ran all the way back to the palace and fainted until the maid took the jar.
Thirdly, I love to use the accent and sing whenever I move. The director may want to shape the temperament of those old and young in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, but the result is that the audience hates it.
Fu Dalong was a little unsure when he acted like this at first. Ask the director, can I act like this? Guo Baochang said to act like this.
"Since then, he has never doubted himself again. I think there is a lot of criticism about his performance on the Internet, but I admire him very much. This is an actor who can spare his role, and his This kind of performance is much more difficult than normal performance."
It is indeed difficult, but it is much harder than normal for the audience to resist the change of the channel.
Of course, it cannot be said that Fu Dalong is acting incorrectly, because this may be the male protagonist the director wants. The question is, how is the story logic consistent with the male protagonist's appearance?
Gege Tong Lihua, played by Hao Lei, is not only proficient in four languages, but also has experience studying abroad in Japan, and has also achieved academic achievements. Such a woman who is thinking ahead of the times is married to a young man who only knows how to eat, drink and play. Make it difficult for the audience to understand.
If you marry such a person because of feudal ethics, the normal psychological activity is: Okay, marrying a bastard, I accept my fate.
But this one knows everything, looks very powerful everywhere, has his own ideas, has patriotic feelings, and never goes with his brother, but he resolutely supports each other with the dude husband in ordinary life, for the sake of common Go forward and deduce the true meaning of life. As long as there is a bastard husband, the years will remain quiet. Sorry, the audience is more difficult to understand.
In short, the male protagonist is the supreme being in this world. Two outstanding women can do everything for her, as long as being with him is happiness.
Until the latest plot, Tong Lihua took Haran and came to the river to find Lou Xiaoyue. Haran made the final choice between herself and Lou Xiaoyue. Well, I finally grew up.
As a result, our male protagonist jumped directly into the river, and everything went back to the original point.
But what is the answer to where the hostess loves him, I still don't understand.
Based on the plot that has been more than half of the time, this TV series should be the "growth history" of the actor, Baylor. Finally, there are several books about how this Baylor protects the royal family. It seems like that.
But the problem is that a Mary Su who has such a routine, , a dude who wants to rush into the screen and beat him up, no matter how hard he is at the end, he still cannot convince the audience, because before the final effort, he All he has done is a "my best dude husband".
Of course, Hao Lei's performance has tried his best to rationalize the role, but a successful role is always invariably "conquering the audience with feeling".
When the audience sees such a bastard husband, they feel that they are immediately wrong, how can they look at it?
After all, what really makes the audience unbearable is not Hao Lei’s pretending to be tender, and the plot of pretending to be tender is over long ago, but Hao Lei’s “playing stupid”.Don't pretend to be stupid, why should such a powerful female character be so desperate for such a dude?
Even Hao Lei's excellent acting skills cannot convince me. Because actors can play stupid, audiences will not be so stupid.
Hao Lei “plays as a tender”, revealing how many acting factions are used as a fig leaf for bad drama
Hao Lei's performance does not need to be questioned.
Before, she encouraged Zhang Meng (not Meng) on "I Am an Actor" and said: "Even if I am so fat, I still sit here very confidently, because no one can take my acting skills."
It’s not that Hao Lei will not act in bad movies. Fans who like Hao Lei may not be willing to admit that Hao Lei’s movies in recent years are more bad than good ones, similar to "Dream Partner" and "Prison Dog Project" , Douban score, about 4 points.
But Hao Lei still maintains the spirit and standards of a good actor, which is also a fact.
Is acting in a TV series necessarily a self-destroying technique?
Not to mention that there is no distinction between movie cafes and TV drama cafes. In 1997, when Hao Lei played "Don't Cry at Seventeen", she already explained what a genius is.
I arrived at the Jing Concubine in "The Younger Son", and had reached the textbook level acting at a young age.
Even if it’s "Once Upon a Time", the whole drama is in the style of Hong Kong drama. The actors show a Hong Kong-style "exaggeration" in all aspects of the action language, but Hao Lei's thirteenth aunt still won't let people Uncomfortable. Instead, she eventually became one of the audience's favorite characters, because she can fit into the whole plot style seamlessly.
Even if it is just a glimpse in the play, her performance can still make an impression.
Although in the eyes of the public,She has never had anything to do with bad movies, but she doesn't need this kind of illusion. She admitted that she had made bad films. But the script is not ideal, and it will not hit Hao Lei.
"The script is rotten, it's okay if you are not rotten."
But there are really only bad dramas, no bad actors? Wu Zhenyu, who said this, really never acted in a bad movie? No way.
But is it shameful for a good actor to act in a bad show? I don’t think so. A good actor is still a good actor in a bad scene.
What is really scary? It is to use good actors to endorse bad scenes.
I did not find that there are two recent trends: one is at the capital level. More and more film studios are looking for powerful actors for the work. Acting school = acting guarantee, and become a promotional point for the drama.
The second is the audience level, which is less and less accepting of doubts about good actors acting in bad dramas.
Just talk about this one. In all fairness, Hao Lei's acting skills are not bad. As long as you survive the first few episodes, at least it is a level that allows the audience to participate in the drama.
Only when she was obviously not in the best condition, she was blown into a "first-class" acting because of a few expressions. All the flaws in the performance are only attributed to the use of dubbing. A few question marks rose slowly above my head.
I don't want to spray dramas to force the actors to be tender.
Because it is more questionable, who can help explain why a woman who has made academic achievements in the state has to marry the original character of "Haran"? Why does use the good acting skills of a good actor to fill the hole in this kind of role's incredible behavior?
Hao Lei once said that she hoped her name would appear in the performance textbook, and believed that her spirit would be left behind.
I believe that she can do it with her acting skills. But among her most exciting characters, which one does not dare to break the rules and become a powerful woman who faces her destiny alone?
With such a character in this play,Can this recognized goddess-level actor still achieve his goals?
When the 42-year-old Hao Lei also joined the ranks of pretenders, it shattered all my fantasies about acting to save the bad drama, but in the end I just want to say: It's a pity Hao Lei.
So it’s not worth the effort to play a young role, but who remembers it? What she left behind was after all black pictures questioning her tenderness.
But the scary thing is not Hao Lei's pretending to be tender, but the actress's pretending to be stupid. The question is, what is it that makes our actresses willing to "play stupid" by acting?
