I don’t know since when, more and more male and female actors have appeared on the screen.
I think he is a boy. He wears a lot of lipstick and false eyelashes, and some of them are even very shy.
I don’t know since when, more and more actors with similar looks have appeared.
Apple skin , tall nose, they all look so similar.
In addition, various filters, excessive makeup, etc. have become mainstream and flooded the screen.
Many viewers are complaining about this.
Recently, the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television once again proposed to rectify this phenomenon.
So how does this phenomenon occur?
What is a simple and fresh healthy aesthetic?
01, the aesthetic of letting a hundred flowers bloom in the 1980s and 1990s
actor Hao Lei said helplessly in an interview.
In her era, her face was actually considered small, and other actors had bigger faces than hers.
But looking at it now, her face is very big compared to the actors.
As a recognized capable actor, Hao Lei is very confident.
She never felt that her appearance was lacking.
But she still feels the pressure from the environment, because the faces of current actors are too small.
But in the early days, people’s aesthetics were not so uniform.
Take the 1980s as an example.
The smash hit " Wrangler " Cong Shan is not a typical beauty.
Her face is not small, her eyes are not big, and her nose is straight.
But the whole person has a kind of gentle and honest Chinese beauty.
In the play, she plays a working woman. Her appearance is not stunning enough, but she fully embodies the beauty of the character.
Zhang Yu, the heroine of "Lushan Romance ", was released in 1980 and has been popular for 20 years.
was an actress known for her foreign style at that time.
She has grand features and a big face, not much smaller than the male protagonist.
But this does not affect her beauty.
Li Xiuming and Tang Guoqiang in " Peacock Princess ".
Li Xiuming is dignified, generous and down-to-earth.
It is worth mentioning that Tang Guoqiang was nicknamed "小生" because he was too fair.
This troubled him for many years.
But who knows, decades later, his face will already be very masculine.
In 1982's " Luotuo Xiangzi" Siqin Gaowa and Zhang Fengyi were not handsome men and beautiful women.
is also the 1980's "Good Luck".
Guo Kaimin and Gong Xue were the most representative handsome men and beauties at that time.
Of course there is also Liu Xiaoqing " The Mysterious Big Buddha "
Pan Hong's "Du Shiniang".
It is not difficult to see that most of the actors who became popular in the 1980s were Chinese.
No matter what type of actor he is, he always carries a natural and fresh beauty.
and each has its own characteristics.
In the 1990s, film and television developed rapidly, but both actors and actresses still followed the rules of being natural, generous and distinctive.
the smash hit Gong Li looks like a Shandong girl.
Although his temperament is outstanding, his whole person always has a mellowness like an earthly mother.
Even though she appeared in "Red Sorghum" when she was very young, her temperament is still strong.
Jiang Wen, who was still very young at the time, was also completely masculine without any pretense.
Later, Jiang Wen also participated in one of the most popular TV series in the 1990s, "Beijingers in New York".
One of the heroines in the drama, Wang Ji, who left the entertainment industry, was no longer young at the time and had a mature temperament.
Yan Xiaopin is full of neighborhood temperament.
Among the TV series of the same period, the only ones that can rival "Beijingers in New York" are "Desire" and "Love in the Pearl River".
"Desire" made the heroine Zhang Kaili famous in one fell swoop.
She has a natural temperament of a good wife and mother, and she still plays the role of mother-in-law or mother-in-law in TV dramas.
"Love in the Pearl River" directly made actor Weizi famous and gave him the motivation to leave the entertainment industry.
As for idol dramas, " Will Love to the End " is the undisputed originator.
Li Yapeng , Xu Jinglei , and even the bearded Liao Fan are among them.
No matter how many people criticize Li Yapeng now.
But we must admit that back then, he was a popular idol boy.
Over in Hong Kong and Taiwan, even if we leave aside the familiar Wireless Five Tigers , the appearance of the other actors is also remarkable.
Chow Yun-fat , Leslie Cheung , Chung Chu-hong 's "Across the World" is a classic.
Stephen Chow is no less generous.
Even if TVB only plays TV actors, they all have their own characteristics.
Chen Huishan for working women is still the ceiling for female white-collar workers.
Even though she is not beautiful enough, her temperament is unmatched.
" Forensic Record " still encourages many girls to study forensic medicine to this day.
The doctor Nie Baoyan she plays is still the idol of many professional women.
Louis Koo at the peak of his appearance and Liang Xiaobing in ancient costume.
The tranquility that is now in Sister Lang was also the naive and innocent girl in " Red River Valley ".
is pure, wild and full of vitality.
This does not include Michelle Reis and Rosamund Kwan, beauties whose appearance crushes the public.
does not count the pioneering masters such as Jackie Chan .
does not even count such popular artists as Jacky Cheung , Aaron Kwok , Andy Lau .
Just by fishing in the galaxy at that time, you can see how bright the stars were at that time.
They are either simple, charming, or a little ugly.
But they are all very unique, and everyone has their own characteristics.
In addition to his or her own name, everyone has a masterpiece that they can produce.
02, the rise of Japanese and Korean culture
But in the 1980s, Japan established an entertainment company Johnny & Associates . The company
directly copied a side performance method of American Broadway male artists on stage - softness.
This approach was originally seen in supporting roles, clowns and embellishments on Broadway, but Guinness has made this aesthetic of soft men into the mainstream.
From the beginning, Johnny & Associates selected young, fair, and delicate boys.
Most of them are only 13 or 4 years old, and they are in the ambiguous zone of gender.
Then, the office dressed them up as neutrally as possible and de-gendered their movements and temperament.
Eyeliner, false eyelashes, colorful outfits, and feminine movements.
Johnny successfully created the first batch of gender-neutral idols.
Because of his money, Johnny was able to promote the group.
Coupled with the fact that the boys selected at that time were really capable, this kind of androgynous beauty became popular. At the beginning of
, it was just about wearing fancy clothes, but later it became somewhat de-gendered as a whole.
The landmark event is that the superstar Kimura Takuya trained by Johnny's endorsed female lipstick for the first time.
Before him, no male artist would paint his face in this way. The endorsement of
became an instant hit, with 3 million units sold in a short period of time. Even Takuya Kimura’s advertising paintings were snapped up by fans.
Although Kimura Tuo is not a standard "girly girl" in person.
But in fact, he did objectively promote the trend of men's more feminine aesthetics.
This writing trend is too fierce and the market acceptance is extremely high.
Soon South Korea took over Japan's banner. The company
Sm came into being, and they went one step further based on the Japanese.
created TVXQ, Super Junior, and EXO boy groups.
The male artists of these groups all have delicate faces and exquisite makeup, giving them a sense of indistinguishability between male and female.
Then in the film and television industry, South Korea also performed exceptionally.
In " The King's Man ", Lee Joon-ki takes the handsome boy to a new level.
As for actresses, South Korea has also created a number of girl groups using the trainee model.
These girl groups have the same outfits and makeup, similar appearances. The mass-produced girl groups can artificially keep up with the requirements of the times.
Therefore, during that period of time, the Korean entertainment industry was unstoppable throughout Asia.
also directly led to two results: male artists’ de-gendered aesthetics and female artists’ standardized aesthetics.
The result is that male artists have become so-called "flower boys", and female artists' faces have been plastic surgery according to a unified style.
03. Changes in domestic aesthetics
Since 2006, young Chinese artists who worked in South Korea have returned to China one after another, setting off this trend.
People lined up to check in at the mailbox that the most popular singer touched.
Their popularity directly spawned a number of such groups.
Various domestic boy and girl groups emerged at the historic moment.
all follow the same path.
The winner of " Idol Producer " in 2018 is an artist named Cai.
He is tall and has handsome features, but he always wears heavy makeup on stage.
But he is not alone. The overall style of "Idol Producer" is like this
From dance moves to expressions.
This group of artists seems to have been focusing on expressing their charm.
Many times, the feeling of indistinguishability between male and female is created.
The champion of " Creation Camp 2021" is an artist named Liu.
's stage makeup is also surprisingly thick.
But that’s not all. In ordinary live broadcasts off the stage, his makeup is also exquisite and thick.
Again, this situation is not unique to them.
but exists throughout the program and even the group.
For them, many times they just obey this arrangement because it is the trend.
Driven by this trend, private grassroots Internet celebrities also followed suit.
There are many male cross-dressing internet celebrities.
From their demeanor, speech, actions and even language habits.
are all deliberately closer to femininity.
quickly became popular due to curiosity and topicality.
Male artists have been de-gendered, and female artists have begun to become standardized.
Someone once joked that the photos of Miss Korea and can be viewed in succession when placed together.
Domestic actresses now also have many homogeneous performances.
There is a joke that the final destination of all actresses is Cai Ming.
Young actor Cai Ming became famous at a young age and can even be said to be a genius actor.
has a delicate and handsome face.
But later, her face continued to develop in strange directions.
With her high forehead and plump cheeks, it is difficult to say that she is natural.
Of course, comfortable responds by itself. Many times it is because of beauty or angle issues.
many people like Zhang Xinyi , the face also has a history of evolution.
This is how she looked in 2006 in "Martial Arts".
This is how she looks now when she participates in "Sister Lang".
Of course, there are also intermediate stages.
is also a woman who has changed since she was 18 years old. Of course, it is said that the change is caused by weight loss, and everyone has nothing to say.
Chen Xiaojun is one of the few female celebrities who admits that she has had facial retouching.
But the method she mentioned is called osteopathy.
But no matter what, her whole person was completely transformed.
Zhang Meng is also one of the few candid actresses.
But she is becoming more and more ugly.
Fortunately, she has recovered now and has become a pretty girl again.
has changed a lot compared to many, but always insists that he is a natural actor. Zhang Meng's frankness is actually quite good.
After all, many times, everyone still has their own judgment.
Like Zhang Meng, it is a pity that there are also and Sun Feifei .
She is also becoming more and more ugly.
martial arts actress Yang Lijing .
To say she was completely different would be an understatement.
Of course, male artists also have minor adjustments and plastic surgery, especially the pretty boys.
but few are recognized.
actor Lin Haoyang first had plastic surgery according to the popular look.
then underwent plastic surgery and repair again.
He is also one of the few male actors who is willing to speak out about his plastic surgery.
As for other fine-tuning and injections, many actors are doing it.
But the faces after plastic surgery basically look the same.
A sharp chin, Kazilan big eyes, plump apple muscles and forehead, porcelain teeth and wide European-style double eyelids .
each looks like a dummy.
may occasionally look good, but when it comes to singing and acting, it is difficult to mobilize the muscles on the face, making it impossible to perform at all, which is similar to facial paralysis.
But the impact of these things goes beyond that.
Whether it is the desexualization of male actors or the plastic surgery component in the entertainment industry, it will subtly affect many people.
04. It’s time to correct the atmosphere.
The profession of celebrities has its own uniqueness, high exposure and great influence. Many people will unconsciously use their behavioral standards as a guideline.
They have the attributes of public figures in a certain sense.
And this kind of aesthetic is obviously somewhat deformed.
It is true that everyone loves beauty, but the meaning of beauty has never been the same.
It is too extreme and unhealthy to attribute all beauty to standardized facial features.
It is even worse to go for plastic surgery just for the sake of being famous, and to try hard to cater to this kind of abnormal aesthetic mentality.
There is really no need to accept the height of one's own body and appearance and unconditionally cater to the trend.
As for men deliberately de-feminizing, in a sense it can even be said to be some kind of distorted aesthetics.
These things are not necessary and should not happen to public figures.
I hope that celebrity artists will eventually speak for themselves with their own works and strength.
Instead of relying on a skin and the public's curiosity.
After all, there will be clowns performing in the circus, but he can never be the protagonist.
Judgment of ugliness may be popular for a while, but human beings ultimately long for truth, goodness and beauty.
