Recently, "Sword Dynasty" starring "Current Boyfriend" is currently on the air. Because of the fans' popularity and the high production standard of the show itself, the original party is very satisfied, making The popularity of the play has always been high, and many people said that this play will become a well-deserved dark horse this year. "Sword Dynasty" just started airing. When many people were going to focus on the cps of the hero and heroine Li Xian and Li Yitong, many sharp-eyed post-90s discovered that there was a familiar "idol" in it. "He is the "first generation idol" He Rundong.
Just when everyone is surprised and can see the idol once again, the role played by He Rundong only appeared in the first episode. Received the lunch in minutes. Many netizens said, how can a small supporting role like He Rundong play the role of an "idol" like He Rundong in just a few minutes? Anyway, he should take a role with a little more drama.
After all, more than 10 years ago, Ho Rundong is also well-deserved from "Best of Love" to "Storm and Cloud" to "Summer of Bubbles" and other TV dramas more than 10 years ago. The hero of the idol drama also captured the hearts of countless girls. But time is so terrible, after 10 years, the idol once turned into a supporting role. In fact, He Rundong has already had the experience of playing a supporting role long before. In 2017, in "The Flower Blooming and the Moon Fully That Year" starring Sun Li, the corner of Wu Pin played by He Rundong also received a box lunch shortly after his appearance.
Of course, this phenomenon is not a single case, "first generation idols" seem to be facing such a problem, not long ago in the variety show In "Actors please seat", Ming Dao appeared to compete on the same stage with young actors. At the end of the first performance, Chen Kaige selected young actors, and Ming Dao directly entered the pending area. Ming Dao said in his speech that he hadn't received a drama for nearly a year. Ming Dao also said that he had never tried a play in 15 years of acting, but today, the leading hero of the hot idol drama has turned into a "excessive" idol who has not been able to film and participated in a variety show.
In comparison, although He Rundong has been reduced to a supporting role, it seems that the biggest dilemma of the "first generation idol" is that there is nothing to film. They are all male candidates. The TV series they starred in at the beginning were all among the top ratings, and even their popularity at the beginning was no less than some of the current traffic. Regardless of whether they are judged by their age or their works, He Rundong, Ming Dao and others are considered "veteran" figures in the film and television industry. They have also been recognized by many people, and they can be regarded as powerful actors with coexistence of appearance and acting skills, but 10 years have passed, why are they not a place in the rapidly developing film and television circle?
The reason is that, first of all, the editor feels that most of the "first-generation idols" came up because of the hot idol dramas of Baodao, and they played them. The image of an overbearing president has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, but in the following years, the film and television drama market has gradually developed to the mainland, mainland idols have begun to rise, and Baodao idol dramas have gradually declined. The treasure island area has gradually faded out of public view. In addition, the performance method of idol dramas is not adapted to the development of the mainland. Many audiences said that the common problem of idol drama actors is that they are accustomed to the performance of idol dramas. In terms of starring in mainland TV dramas, their acting skills are obviously insufficient, and they have not brought more audiences. Surprise.
Secondly, as the entertainment market matures, the entertainment idol industry is also prospering.Star abilities have become stronger, younger generation actors and emerging idols have begun to rise, and star fans have changed batch after batch. Fans of people like He Rundong have grown up and got married. Everyone has shifted their focus to work and family. They no longer have the ability and passion to chase celebrities. After 00, they are more inclined to younger generation idols, "first generation idols". Attention has been greatly reduced.
If there is no attention, naturally there will be no support for traffic. In the era when traffic is king, "first generation idols" are naturally at a disadvantage. Although many people have been questioning "traffic stars" in recent years, it has to be said that whether it is in the film and music circles, traffic is like a stepping stone. Actors need acting support when filming, and traffic is also needed to increase exposure.
As Director Chen Kaige said in variety shows, in a market under the control of capital, it is impossible for everyone to make public welfare films The ultimate goal is to make money. Choosing "traffic stars" is not an isolated phenomenon, but a real contradiction. In the entertainment industry, "traffic" is always the most attractive hot spot. But it's not that you can't survive without traffic. As the film and television market gradually becomes benign, audiences are also paying more and more attention to the acting skills of actors, as can be seen from the reputation of some "top-tier" film and television works.
From He Rundong, Ming Dao and others, we can see the survival dilemma of "first generation idols". In the final analysis, it is still a question of roles. In fact, the role is not big or small. The role of an actor is to make a film seriously and take every role seriously, whether it is a small role or a protagonist. As long as they are willing to put down their body, they will eventually be filmed, just like He Rundong. With his figure, Ming Dao also began to put down his figure and compete with young actors on stage. He didn't care that the role only valued the role, and he dared to face the difficulties. Perhaps this was the beginning of their escape from the difficulties.
