Lan Yingying, who has been silent for a long time, finally appeared in the new drama "The Forgotten Time".
This time, the drama is not the workplace fight between legal beauties, nor the deep love between besties who play the friendship card, but the theme that has been frequently photographed in the past two years - the love between siblings.
and Lan Yingying’s teammate is Fan Chengcheng, who is ten years younger than her.
In the past impression, they were completely out of reach.
Lan Yingying was born with the face of a good student. She is rational and restrained. Even the arc of her smile is controlled just right, and she rarely crosses the line.
On the other hand, Fan Chengcheng looks like the kind of kid who has never suffered much.
had a celebrity sister to pave the way for him, and he was at the top when he debuted.
is always fully charged at any time and anywhere. He is full of passion on the stage and usually has a strong desire to express himself without any defensiveness.
The contrast between the two was so great that at first I didn’t believe that deep sadomasochism would happen to them.
After watching the drama, my impressions did not exceed expectations.
This "Forgotten Time" is different from ordinary idol dramas, with a touch of realistic magic.
Everything revolves around the pawn shop.
The pawn shop in the drama is not an ordinary pawn shop where barter is exchanged for gold. The things pawned are very special, they are human feelings, and feelings are exchanged for wishes.
Lu Xiaofan (played by Fan Chengcheng) chose to pawn his feelings in order to save his former lover Wu Chao (played by Lan Yingying) from danger.
Later, the two met again, and Wu Chao had lost his memory...
Whether such a plot setting is too suspended, I will not discuss it for the time being. Let's just talk about the performance of the two.
Because the core of this drama is "torture", it places high demands on the actors' acting skills.
The cooperation between
needs to create a sense of conflict and contradiction, which is enough to impress people.
Frankly speaking, the performances of the male and female protagonists kept the audience from getting involved in the drama and often left them outside the plot.
What is the most essential problem?
One is trying too hard, and the other is repeating himself.
Fan Chengcheng is not an actor. Although he has acted in several dramas, his acting skills are still relatively immature.
Before co-starring with Wen Qi in " Fatal Wish ", Fan Chengcheng often couldn't catch his opponent's scenes.
There is a conversation between two people in the tunnel.
Wen Qi’s questioning was step-by-step, layered, with a slight gasp, and a sense of life.
But Fan Chengcheng’s response was too exciting and had too many traces of “acting”.
When it comes to "The Forgotten Time", Fan Chengcheng still has the same problem.
In many scenes of emotional ups and downs, his emotions are so straightforward that it is almost impossible to see the externalization of his inner activities.
What I saw more was a vigorous frown and a surprised expression...
As for Lan Yingying, on the contrary, her control of acting skills has become a system of its own and is surprisingly stable.
There is a small climax in "The Forgotten Time".
Lu Xiaofan asked Wu Chao, why should he pawn?
Wu Chao had his own difficulties, but he was still duplicitous and attributed the cause of pawn to greed.
even argued: exchanging love for willingness, this deal is a good deal. When
responded aggressively, Lan Yingying had tears in her eyes, but it was difficult for people to feel the unspeakable grief.
Lan Yingying’s performance shows signs of stylization that are getting more and more serious.
Tears gathered on the eyelashes, but not a drop fell. The control was extremely precise.
has long lines, a rhythm that is ups and downs, and a calm look of everything under control.
In comparison, Fan Chengcheng is like a blank sheet of paper. Although he is not mature enough, at least he still has a lot of plasticity.
Lan Yingying is more like a carefully carved work of art.
seems to be perfect, but in fact it has lost its most precious personality and has become mediocre and boring.
Lan Yingying seems to be trapped in a strange performance circle. I would like to summarize it as: Lan's performance style.
In short:
Everything is within control, so you can't make any mistakes, but you can't feel the slightest surprise.
acts again and again, no matter how many roles she plays and how big the differences between the roles are, she always feels like she is playing herself. As a result, people often cannot remember the name of the character, but they only know that it was played by Lan Yingying.
In fact, Lan Yingying has been making new attempts in recent years.
Zhang Yue in " So You're Still Here " is a non-squeamish wealthy daughter and a solo executive in the workplace.
arrived in " Elite Lawyers " and played the perfect counterattack rookie intern.
In last year's " North and South ", Lan Yingying reincarnated into the great beauty of the capital.
The background and personality traits of each character are not the same, but the way she handles them is to rely on herself.
In every drama, there is Lan Yingying’s same smile.
's every move and gesture is full of energy. His chin is always lifted up unconsciously, and he has a kind of fascinating arrogance and confidence.
So much so that now in "The Forgotten Time", it is difficult to feel how tragic the character Wu Chao has gone through.
Lan Yingying is not an actress without acting skills.
originally participated in "The Birth of an Actor", but was named and praised by Zhang Ziyi and Song Dandan .
old drama player Liu Mintao were all defeated in one-on-one PK with her.
But the spirituality of Lan Yingying's performance also stayed at the moment when she won the runner-up in "The Birth of an Actor".
After "The Legend of Zhen Huan" became popular, in addition to Sun Li, Lan Yingying also became popular with her role as " Huanbi ".
But similarly, this role also brought controversy to Lan Yingying.
The outside world always criticizes her, her face is a bit bitter, she does not have the face of a heroine, and she can only play supporting roles.
But Lan Yingying still relied on her own efforts to break this curse.
From 2019's "Elite Lawyers" to this year's "The Forgotten Time", Lan Yingying has been the leading heroine in almost every film.
But the Douban score is lower than the other one.
"Elite Lawyers" scored 5.3, and Feng Xiaogang directed "North and South", which was even as low as 4.9.
Lan Yingying was admitted to Beijing People's Art with the first grade, which shows that she has pure persistence and dedication to acting.
But this obsession began to disappear gradually the year she left Renyi and joined Sister Lang.
Lan Yingying participated in Sister Lang, and the deepest impression she left on the audience was:
had the highest score at the beginning of the stage. She always put her ambition on her face. Not only did she want to be the "King of Examination", but she also took the lazy Wu Xin with her.
On the final group night, Lan Yingying, who has always been high-profile, became the last one among the 14 sisters, which shocked many people.
Why did Lan Yingying change from first to last after one game?
Because she doesn’t understand the truth that Sister Lang’s stage is like the epitome of the fame and fortune fair in the entertainment industry.
The one who laughs at the end is not necessarily the one who tried his best from the beginning. It is probably the one who is not in a hurry, not in a hurry, and moves forward at a steady speed throughout the whole process.
Lan Yingying always wants to prove herself eagerly. This is true on Sister Lang's stage, and it is the same in reality.
Lan Yingying is filming more and more, but her performances are becoming less and less carefree. Most of her roles are bland, and as for the popular roles, there is no trace of them.
Compared with many traffic florets, the original Lan Yingying fully possesses the potential to transform from Hua Dan to Tsing Yi.
But unfortunately, now, Lan Yingying has lost her original spirituality and has disappeared from everyone.
