Li Yitong was mocked? Who "brings the fire" is a pseudo concept

Now there is a discussion on the Internet: Li Yitong has starred in no less than 10 works since his debut, and there are so many traffic stars in cooperation, why can't it become popular? Li Yitong ranks among the top in the list of "Without Fire Series" compiled by netizens. Li Yitong can only laugh at himself on Weibo, "I am cold."

Stills of "Sword Dynasty", Li Yitong plays Changsun Qianxue.

Is there really a so-called "without fire" actor? Is there really an actor who can "bring fire" to others?

Before being interviewed by Yu Zheng, he praised Yang Zi. He believed that Yang Zi is an actress who can lead a actor on fire, because Yang Zi is very good at expressing feelings, "Actors don’t need to act." Yu Zheng's statement was criticized at the time as "the connotation of Li Xian." Leaving aside the controversy, Yang Zi has indeed starred in a lot of hot dramas in the past two years, such as in 2018 and Deng Lun’s "Sweet Honey Embers as Frost", this year and Li Xian’s "Dear, Loved", and Deng Lun and Li Xian have also become top-tier through these two dramas, but Li Yitong and these two new top-tier dramas have fairly average traffic.

Instead of ridiculing Deng Lun and Li Xian, it’s not like Yang Zi’s physique "with fire", or taunting Li Yitong’s "without fire", we might as well go back to the origin of the problem: the so-called actor "with fire" said, maybe originally It is a pseudo concept.

Yu Zheng said that Yang Zi took whoever was the hottest, but after "Dear, Loved", "My Mowgli Boy" starring Yang Zi and Ma Tianyu was broadcast. This drama Douban scored 5.8 points, and the response was mediocre. Imagine again, if Yang Zi is not a partner for Deng Lun in "Sweet Honey" and Yang Zi is not a partner in "Dear, Loved" Li Xian, can these two dramas become a hit? It's hard to say.

"My Mowgli Boy", Douban score 5.8, starring Yang Zi and Ma Tianyu.

Whether or not a drama can become a hit is largely the result of coincidence. Few hits are predicted in advance, but the quasi-explosive items predicted in advance often hit the streets. But most of the hits have one thing in common-they are not bad dramas. On the contrary, from scripts, performances to productions, they are all qualified works on the assembly line. On this basis, a certain click in the works is universal. Social psychology. Just like the native families of "All Very Good", the middle-class education of "Xiaohuanxi", even the less popular "Dear, Loved", sweet love just met the needs of the summer student party.

Therefore, the actor is on fire, not just which actor "brings the fire", there are other factors behind the script, director, role, performance, etc., all of which are indispensable. The quality of the play is good, and with a little luck, the little-known actors can also become popular. Once the quality of the play is not good, and the performance is not good, the ten Yang Zi can't move it. Yu Zheng's so-called "no acting" is simply nonsense.

Li Yitong's so-called "not fire" has both luck and poor quality of the play. Like Deng Lun starred in "Begonia Rain and Rouge", is a backlog of drama filmed in 2017, the storyline is more old-fashioned than Qiongyao drama, with bright and gorgeous Abao color, it is not surprising at all. "Sword Dynasty" starring Li Xian, the original novel is a fantasy, the series has become a martial arts drama, the series continues the complex settings and slurred names in the novel, the threshold for watching the drama is too high, and the series itself does not It is also difficult to break the circle beyond the martial arts drama. Therefore, netizens shouldn't ridicule Li Yitong for "not being hot". Changing other actresses will not save mediocre scripts.

In "Crane Huating", Li Yitong partnered with Luo Jin.

and Luo Jin starred in "Crane Huating", which belongs to the genre with very good plays and bad luck. "Crane Huating" was launched in a low-key manner, and then "Celebrating More Than Years" went online to compete and divert the audience. In addition, the overall tone of "Crane Huating" is heavy, and the emotional scenes of men and women are limited. Luo Jin's traffic is indeed not as good as the first-line niche. Under all factors, "Creek Huating" has become a good drama with reasonable flow, but it is not There is still a distance from the explosion.

Finally, let me talk about the so-called "fire". Many people on the Internet laughed at Li Yitong's "not popular". Indeed, if compared with the first-line florists, Li Yitong is relatively inferior in terms of popularity and traffic. But what many people didn’t expect was that in the context of the cold winter of film and television, Li Yitong still had so many big-produced female No. 1 plays that could be performed and broadcast smoothly. This has been 99% in the circle.Actress too. The top streamers in the film and television industry are already rare, and they are unforgettable. Instead of being obsessed with the "fire" of the top stream, actors should first become the actor that the market is willing to choose. They can act and perform well. , The play is good. At this time, what does the layman's so-called "no fire" matter?
