For actresses, progress and breakthroughs in the film and television industry at different ages are very important. "If you don't advance, you will retreat." And "middle age" can be said to be crucial for every actor, and it is also an important key point of transformation.
And the key point of this transformation seems to have become an important factor in whether this group of middle-aged actresses can continue to go forward or whether they will face "elimination".
Among this group of middle-aged actresses, 36-year-old Yang Mi and 35-year-old Zhao Liying are two typical representatives.
Recently, Yang Mi's new drama " The 28th Law of Love" was aired. Not only the plot and acting skills were questioned, but even her visibly collapsed face in the drama also disappointed netizens. As some netizens said, if she insists on starring in this kind of romantic drama, then at least her face should be in good condition.
Let’s look back at Yang Mi’s latest aired dramas and upcoming dramas. “The 28-year-old Law of Love”, “Fox Demon Little Matchmaker” and the earlier “ Mrs. Huzhu” are almost all still in ancient puppet dramas and romantic dramas, but such roles are often supported by their appearance, and now the 36-year-old Yang Mi’s appearance is obviously not able to support it.
Of course, Yang Mi has not tried transformation at all. In 2018, when she was just over 30 years old, Yang Mi tried to film " Baby ", starring a disabled girl without makeup.
Although Yang Mi's determination to transform into a powerful actor can be seen in this movie, it is a pity that her acting skills are not up to par. The rating of "Baby" on a certain platform is only 5.3.
Maybe it’s like what director Li Shaohong said. Yang Mi has been on the set since she was a child. The biggest problem she has in performance is programming, and she is so accustomed to it that by the time she wants to correct it, it is already too late.
The failure of "Baby" also made Yang Mi give up on the path of transformation and plunged into ancient puppet dramas, romantic dramas and variety shows again. However, this is not a long-term solution. With the rise of new talents and the signs of time on Yang Mi's face becoming more and more obvious, Yang Mi may push herself to "no way out."
Zhao Liying, the 85-year-old who also became famous through ancient puppet shows, is much more tenacious than Yang Mi on the road to transformation. Zhao Liying has two transformational works this year, "Happiness Comes to Thousands of Homes" and " Wind Blossoms of Pinellia ". The reputation and popularity are also good, so the transformation journey is off to a good start.
When Yang Mi used dermabrasion filters in "The Twenty-Eight Laws of Love", Zhao Liying was already able to accept the test of real lenses and show the wrinkles and signs of aging on her face in "The Wind Blowing Pinellia".
Some netizens may despise Zhao Liying for being "old", but in fact this kind of real aging is exactly what a middle-aged actress needs to show most, and it is also the key to breakthrough in acting. When you no longer care about your beauty in front of the camera, you can focus on acting.
Another biggest difference is that actresses who are often looking for breakthroughs in acting skills will have less exposure in front of the camera. They will not be keen on participating in variety shows, reality shows, or various festivals.
Compared with Yang Mi, Zhao Liying has had relatively less exposure in the past two years. Similarly, another group of middle-aged actresses, Reyza, Tong Yao and Deng Jiajia, are not common in variety shows and major festivals, and their traffic is definitely not as good as Yang Mi.
But in the film and television industry, Reyza, who is also 36 years old, is already the first "post-85s" Feitian Award TV queen. "The Legend of Zhen Huan" successfully opened her up to fame, and " Love of Mountains and Seas" successfully entered the ranks of "powerful actors".
7-year-old Tong Yao won the Golden Eagle Award and Magnolia Award Movie Queen for her films "Dajiangdahe" and "Thirty Only", becoming the first "Double Movie Queen" born after 1985.
9-year-old Deng Jiajia is not as highly recognized in the film and television industry as Reiza and Tong Yao, nor is she as popular and well-known as Yang Mi and Zhao Liying, but she is also actively looking for transformation and development after " Love Apartment ".
Deng Jiajia won the Hundred Flowers Award for Best Supporting Actress for " National Witness ". In recent years, there have been highly discussed works such as " Ming Fenghua " and " Famous ". It can be said that it is in full swing.
and among the 85 flowers, there are similar situations to Yang Mi. Angelababy , Liu Shishi and Ni Ni .
At the peak of Angelababy's career, it can be said that both film and television were blooming. Both movies and TV series resources were very high-quality. Even she herself had the confidence to say that if she was lucky, she should win a Grand Slam.
But unfortunately, Angelababy did not seize the best opportunity. When the traffic faded, Angelababy, now 33 years old, has turned around and has been abandoned by the film and television industry. There have been rumors that Angelababy's pay was lower than that of second-tier stars, but there was still no director using her.
Yang Ying's works are not only greatly reduced, but the male actors she collaborates with have also changed from Chen Kun , Huang Xuan to Lai Guanlin , Li Hongqi , and the topic of the works is far less popular than before.
But Angelababy, like Yang Mi, has a high exposure in front of the screen, and it is mainly supported by variety shows. If there is no variety show, their situation may become as embarrassing as Liu Shishi and Tang Yan .
Tang Yan after marriage can be said to be the least existence "85 flower". In addition to her lack of career aspirations, her comeback after marriage " Yanyuntai " is also controversial.
Although Tang Yan had the classic role " Zixuan " before and the big drama " He Yisheng Xiaomo ", her acting skills have never been truly recognized by the industry. Now she is 38 years old, she has not seen any signs of "transformation". No wonder some netizens think that she might as well retire like this.
Liu Shishi, who was once said to be "unprofessional" before, is actually quite enterprising in the past two years, but neither " Golden Years " nor " Dear Self " made her acting skills recognized, but instead made people notice that her condition is not as good as before.
Liu Shishi's new drama partner is still the Liu Yuning , which has only been popular for two or three years. Whether "Yi Nian Guanshan" can achieve good results is still quite important to Liu Shishi.
The entertainment industry is a place where talents emerge and newcomers keep rising. These actresses over 30 years old, no matter how popular they are after 30 years old, they will face new challenges after 30 years old.
