The "star fortune" of celebrities has always been a metaphysics. Some people can continue to become popular for decades with a work, such as the "Sage of Monkey King" Liu Xiaolingtong, "Lin Daiyu" Chen Xiaoxu, "Jigong" You Benchang and other actors. This is the case.
Most of the actors who can leave such "records" have appeared in classic works, and their acting skills are very good, which has left a deep impression on the audience, and they have been popular for decades. They are real artists.
However, with the development of the "commercialization" of the film and television industry, the capital no longer pays attention to the quality of the works and the acting skills of the actors, but instead focuses on "How to use top artists to make money quickly", thus causing a "phenomenon popularity". Celebrities like
usually become popular and become popular overnight. However, because of my average acting skills or the topic of the work is too short, has a phenomenon of "it seems to have become popular overnight, but it is soon out of date" , which has also made many actors "a flash in the pan", which is really embarrassing.
And the most representative figure in recent years, is the young actor Li Xian who partnered with Yang Zi to play "Dear, Loved".
Recalling Li Xian's acting experience, it is not difficult to find that in fact, he has appeared in many popular film and television works, such as "The Brother Sleeping in My Bed", "Forensic Qin Ming", "There Are Trees in the South", etc.
Although he did not play the leading role in these works, such resources are already very excellent for a new actor who has just debuted for a few years.
Unfortunately, Li Xian couldn't escape the fate of "a drama is popular but not a hit". After so many works, he is still lukewarm.
It was not until 2019 that Li Xian and Yang Zi collaborated on a movie called "Dear, Love", and finally achieved a "phenomenal" popularity.
How popular was Li Xian at that time? I believe everyone still remembered that the topics about him were basically not over-the-top searches.
With this work, Li Xian has been promoted from a supporting role in the second and third line to a top traffic star. Various topics about "current boyfriend" are emerging one after another. Li Xian has also been taking on various endorsements and variety shows, and the resources are enviable.
At this time, there are two choices in front of Li Xian. One is to continue filming TV series, and the other is to develop into the film industry. Li Xian chose the latter, which also led to his career gradually falling into a bottleneck.
After 2019, Li Xian only took on three TV series, and one of them was withdrawn before it started.
He focused more on making movies. took on seven or eight movies in just three years, but the evaluation of most works is not optimistic.
The popularity and reputation that had accumulated were almost consumed in this process. Therefore, Li Xian is now in an embarrassing situation.
More than half of his 2022 have passed, but Li Xian has only one work online, which shows how much his resources have dropped.
. The brands who were very optimistic about Li Xian before gradually gave up on him and instead gave his resources to other more topical male stars. It was a pity.
In fact, Li Xian’s biggest problem is “not recognizing where his audience is” .
It became popular in the TV circle because of its idol temperament and handsome appearance. He should take advantage of this after becoming popular and shoot a few more TV series quickly to consolidate his position in the audience's hearts.
But Li Xian did not do this, but instead turned to enter the movie circle. Not only did he lose his previous fan base, but he did not yet attract new fans, which led to the current phenomenon of losing all resources.
It is too late for Li Xian to return to the TV industry today.Because as he gets older, he will become more greasy and no longer as refreshing and clean as before.
Imagine that if Li Xian had developed peacefully in the field of TV dramas, his current situation would have been much better.
Although Li Xian’s resources are not as good as before, at least he has been “popular” by the brand. Marco, the “killing sister” under , is not even as lucky as Li Xian.
Ma Ke debuted at the age of 9 and played the role of young Puyi in the historical drama "Sun Yat-sen". This is his first time in contact with the film and television industry.
After that, Marco participated in works such as "Absolute Plan" and "Women No longer Silence".
By 2004, some viewers met Marco for the first time, and he played a wild boy with red hair in "Family with Children". However, because this character has too few scenes, it was quickly forgotten by netizens. In the years following
, Marco made several works intermittently while busy with his studies, and his popularity has always been low.
Finally, in 2014, Marco Shilai was launched, received an invitation from the crew of "The Bone of Flowers" and played one of the protagonists in the play, "Sha Qianmo".
itself, Marco's appearance is outstanding, and the unique character of the character has made Marco quickly gain countless fans and become one of the most popular young actors of that year.
However, after becoming popular, Marco did receive more scripts, but these works failed without exception.
works such as "Aurora Love" and "Focus on Beauty". Although they are idol dramas broadcast on Hunan Satellite TV, their reputation and evaluation are very poor.
Over time, the audience became suspicious of Marco's acting skills, which led to a decline in his audience interest.
By 2019, Marco quietly got married and had children, and since then he lived a low-key and peaceful life, and filming was also very Buddhist.
Nowadays, Marco occasionally shows his face on the screen, but he can only play some supporting roles, and the main role is basically gone. Judging from Marco's attitude and image, it will probably be even more difficult to continue to become popular in the future.
The younger generation of actors still need to rely on their appearance and works to maintain their popularity. So, the situation of those male actors who are "a little older" with average appearance can be imagined.
and Nie Yuan is the representative figure among them.
Nie Yuan is different from other stars who "become overnight". His acting career actually has two peaks, the first one is the years when he first debuted.
000, Nie Yuan collaborated with Huang Yi and others on "Marrying the Right Man in the Wrong Seal", and he received a lot of attention as soon as he debuted.
Due to its excellent appearance conditions, Nie Yuan quickly received more scripts, including "The World Granary" and "The Legend of the Heroes of the Sui and Tang Dynasties".
While the acting career is developing smoothly, Nie Yuan also entered the marriage hall with his fellow junior sister Wang Hui, who is a winner in life.
However, not long after the two got married, Nie Yuan revealed to the media that he had returned to being single, and in 2014 he married his little wife Qin Ziyue. The series of behaviors of
caused a lot of criticism, and many netizens were dissatisfied with him.
In addition, Nie Yuan has never stopped talking about plastic surgery. It is not difficult to find out from the comparison between his appearance that his face has indeed changed a lot.
In short, these controversies have made Nie Yuan’s audience worse and worse. It was not until 2018 that Nie Yuan and Wu Jinyan collaborated on "Story of Yanxi Palace" that they successfully became popular.
This drama was really popular at that time. Nie Yuan also received a lot of bonuses, his resources were improved, and the actresses and brands he collaborated on were also on the front line.
Unfortunately, as the popularity of "Story of Yanxi Palace" gradually declined, Nie Yuan never produced impressive works again.Even in some works, Nie Yuan exposed his shortcomings of "short and poor acting skills", and his popularity dropped rapidly.
Now, Nie Yuan is working hard to shoot new dramas, hoping to maintain the popularity of "Story of Yanxi Palace". However, with his age, appearance and temperament, if he doesn't meet a very suitable role, it will probably be difficult to become popular again.
Moreover, there are endless young male actors in the entertainment industry, and it is not surprising that Nie Yuan's resources with average appearance are gone.
In addition to the situation where male actors will encounter "become overnight and quickly out of breath, and then the resources will slowly be lost", actresses will find it difficult to escape this phenomenon.
and Zhang Xiaofei is the most representative figure among them.
If you want to talk about who is the biggest winner in the film and television industry in 2021, it must be Zhang Xiaofei.
Before this, Zhang Xiaofei was just a comedian. But since she starred in "Hello, Li Huanying", she has become a "national-level" first-line actress.
In fact, Zhang Xiaofei's early star fortune was pretty good. When she was in college, she participated in her first movie, which is already luckier than many celebrities. In the years following
, Zhang Xiaofei has appeared in several movies one after another, but they are all relatively niche works, so she did not get much attention.
Most audiences began to get familiar with Zhang Xiaofei, and they all brought a lot of joy to everyone through sketches on the Spring Festival Gala stage.
But even though he appeared on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala several times, Zhang Xiaofei's popularity is just that. After all, not everyone is Song Dandan.
It was not until 2021 that Zhang Xiaofei starred in "Hello, Li Huanying" directed by Jia Ling, and her career ushered in a turning point.
Although netizens have different comments on this work, it is undeniable that it earned the audience's tears, and Zhang Xiaofei, the nominal protagonist, also successfully gained the dividend. After the movie
was released, Zhang Xiaofei quickly became popular and various activities sent invitations to her. Even some artists who didn't like her before began to respect her, for fear of making her unhappy.
Immediately afterwards, Zhang Xiaofei won the Golden Rooster Award for the Best Actress Award and reached the peak of her acting career.
But no one expected that this popularity came and went quickly. In less than a year, Zhang Xiaofei fell out of the line and gradually faded out of the public's vision.
Nowadays, Zhang Xiaofei's acting career has been "turned back to its original form", and fashion endorsements have gradually been downgraded. However, Zhang Xiaofei still has the strength. As long as he encounters a good work, he should be able to become popular again.
encountered an embarrassing actor who "had a hit overnight and was quickly out of breath", and young actor Xing Zhaolin .
As a traffic star born in the 1995s, Xing Zhaolin's career development is very representative. After a few years of his debut, became popular overnight with "The Loved Concubine of the Two Worlds".
Of course, the reason why he became popular is not because of his excellent acting skills or appearance. In fact, it is largely due to the character's character support.
But no matter what, Xing Zhaolin was indeed popular at that time and attracted many female fans.
However, the biggest problem for traffic stars is that their acting skills are not stable enough. After all, not every time they can perform exceptionally, and so is Xing Zhaolin.
, and he always imitates Yang Yang intentionally or unintentionally, which has caused many netizens to get bored.
The most popular thing is that he once appeared in the mall with more than a dozen bodyguards, which surrounded him in the middle.
But in fact, not many people recognize him at all, making more bodyguards than fans.
After experiencing these controversies, netizens' favorability for Xing Zhaolin dropped rapidly.
As of 2022, Xing Zhaolin has not yet launched any film and television works. He has only participated in two events. I don’t know if it has been abandoned by capital.
In fact, the situation that Xing Zhaolin encountered is also an embarrassment that most male stars in the entertainment industry encountered. I became popular with an online drama and wanted to transform into a big screen in the future, but I had no resources, so I gradually became out of date.
Moreover, after becoming popular, he did not care about his reputation, which eventually caused the current embarrassment, and no one else could blame him.
For example, Sheng Yilun is very similar to Xing Zhaolin's situation.
Sheng Yilun was originally a graphic model. By chance, he was spotted by directors in the circle and starred in "Mirror Effect", thus getting involved in the entertainment industry.
However, the response of this work was not very good, and Sheng Yilun did not enter the public's vision.
In the next three years, Sheng Yilun did not receive any roles, and it was not until 2015 that he made his mark with "The Promotion of the Crown Princess".
Although the cost of this drama is not high, netizens have also criticized it as a "50 cent special effect", it does not prevent the drama from becoming popular all over the Internet. After becoming popular with
, Sheng Yilun took on some idol dramas. However, in the entertainment industry where big names gather, he, whose acting skills are not up to standard and his appearance is not popular, quickly became a supporting role.
When participating in "I Am an Actor" in 2020, Sheng Yilun also mocked himself and said that "I am already very cold now, and the audition has not been successful."
Later, Sheng Yilun started live streaming to sell goods. In order to increase income, Sheng Yilun sold everything and even sold sanitary napkins, but the popularity was still not high.
Nowadays, Sheng Yilun's appearance has changed a lot. Not only does it have no drama to shoot, but no one is interested in live streaming and selling goods . It is indeed difficult to become popular.
In fact, , the "phenomenal popularity male star" like , is not the that has only been found in recent years. It was born a lot more than ten years ago, but at that time, information spread was slower, so everyone didn't care.
For example, "Qiong Yao Boy" Zhang Rui, whose debut work is "Dream of Red Mansions" directed by Li Shaohong. He was then invited to the crew of "New Return of the Condor Heroes" and played the protagonist Fifth Prince.
As the first male lead in the remake of classic dramas, Zhang Rui was soon well known to the audience.
You should know that Zhao Liying was just a little maid in this drama back then, which shows that Zhang Rui was indeed very promising at that time.
With the popularity of this drama, Zhang Rui has successively taken on works such as "Heroes of Sui and Tang Dynasties" and "Flowers are not flowers, fog, not fog", but none of them escaped the embarrassment of "the drama is popular but not the person is popular".
In addition to acting, Zhang Rui also sang a lot of songs, but none of them made him popular.
He and Yang Zi, Ren Jialun and others are under Huanrui Century. Seeing that they are all popular one by one, they are becoming more and more representative works. Zhang Rui's representative works are the previous "New Return of the Condor Heroes" and "Flowers are not flowers, fog, and fog".
In fact, Zhang Rui's appearance and acting skills are very online, at least much better than those traffic stars. Unfortunately, he has never been appreciated and has no chance to become famous.
Nowadays, Zhang Rui's resources are much worse than before, and the number of works is getting smaller and smaller. Many viewers felt sorry for him for this.
The entertainment industry is a place of change, and Zhang Rui can only rely on his own strength to win everyone's attention. I hope he can choose the script well and believe that the capable actors will not be buried.
Another male actor who "was once popular and is now criticized" must be Zhang Han.
Recently, Zhang Han's new drama "Gentlemen in East Eight" has been full of complaints, which is the worst TV series in history. Zhang Han was also criticized by netizens as a hot search.
Think back then, Zhang Han was also the leading traffic male star in the circle. Shortly after his debut, he became famous with "Let's Watch Meteor Shower Together".
Although many plots of this drama are awkward, Zhang Han is also handsome throughout the whole process, but it has indeed gained a lot of popularity.
What followed was invitations and advertising endorsements for various events, and Zhang Han was very busy for a while.
After that, Zhang Han starred in works such as "Romance of Sui and Tang Dynasties" and "Shan Shan is Coming", and his popularity continued to rise.
Originally, Zhang Han's career was very stable, but he caused controversy because of some low emotional intelligence remarks.
For example, after "Shan Shan is here", Zhang Han said in an interview that "If you look for a girlfriend, you won't consider Zhao Liying, because I prefer simple girls."
, it seems that it is implying that Zhao Liying is a scheming bitch, which makes Zhao Liying particularly embarrassed. There are many similar things like
, which has led to the impression of Zhang Han in everyone's mind getting worse and worse.
Moreover, some netizens have dug up Zhang Han’s previous “black history”. When he was in college, Zhang Han once caused an accident. He drove the traffic police for more than 100 meters. After the news of
was exposed, netizens also came forward to accuse Zhang Han of his reputation and popularity further collapsed.
To this day, the works starring Zhang Han have basically hit the point of being in the middle of the work, and his performance in variety shows is also very average. With age and appearance changes, the idol route will not last long.
Acting skills are not up to standard and reputation is not good. This is the embarrassing situation Zhang Han is facing now, and it is also the situation faced by many male actors.
Although becoming popular is something that everyone expects, it may be better to rely on the work to keep pace with the ground and slowly gain the recognition of the audience.
For example, Wang Xiao in "The Golden Years", Wang Yang in "The Rebels", and Tian Yu in "The Journey of Life". Although they look average, they can only gain the recognition of the audience because they have high-quality works.
In fact, after reading the experiences of the above actors, you will find that the popularity of is just the beginning. Continuing to work hard to contribute good works is the best way to maintain this "popularity". Otherwise, sooner or later, it will be abandoned by the audience and capital, and it will be difficult to turn over again.
For actors, the only thing they can do is to be down-to-earth and act in every work with their heart. With this attitude, they will be able to stand out one day.
