The power of online drama star-making has been confirmed many times. For new actors, their fan attributes are highly consistent with the portraits of mainstream audiences in the video platform network, so it is a convenient channel for new faces to increase their popularity.
This year's special situation has provided fertile soil for the recurring outbreak of sweet pet dramas. But if you want to arouse splashes, the quality of the play and the actors are two essential elements. Among them, the dark horse "High Master and Walk Slowly " that broke through the siege is a typical representative, which helped the male protagonist Liu Yichang to soar, and was also given a love title by netizens to "blind box boy".
The currently popular costume drama "Chang'an Youth Travel" is another new work by Liu Yichang. Although this time he has lost the halo of the protagonist in the play, his eye-catching performance is talked about. The point is that Liu Yichang has "transformed" again, transforming into a martial arts master and shuttled between the court and the market.
Someone uses "Life is like a box of chocolate, you will never know what the next one tastes" to describe the unknown wonderfulness of life. If the same reason is applied to Liu Yichang, you may be able to explain the meaning of "blind box boy". Whatever you play is like is the actor's ability to shape roles - but this is a big challenge for new actors. However, Liu Yichang has proved his strength as an actor through more than a dozen characters with different personalities in just four years.
face-changing acting has made the "Young Master"
sweet pet core wrapped in the shell of the ancient costume detective. It is a fresh combination that is quite attractive to young people. "Young Master, Let's Go Slowly" is such a costume sweet pet detective drama.
The drama was selected to log in to on Valentine's Day and broadcast exclusively on iQiyi . The popularity value on the second day of its launch quickly exceeded 6,000. After 10 days, the box office of the account was as high as 40 million, breaking the historical record of iQiyi's account-divided online drama and becoming iQiyi's new online drama account-divided drama king.
At the same time, "Young Master, Go Slowly" scored 6.8 points on Douban and 7.4 points on Maoyan, and frequently topped the hot search lists on major platforms. The popularity and reputation are flying together, adding another successful case to the small and beautiful circle dramas, and also helping the male protagonist Liu Yichang become famous.
The theme bonus of sweet pets and the mutual blessing of actors is an inevitable product of the right time, place, and people. At the beginning of 2020, Liu Yichang performed well among her peers, thanks to her down-to-earth and professional cultivation of performance.
After many key events such as having been separated from his parents for many years, being kidnapped by a man in black, breaking up with Tian Sanqi, Zhao Cuo was reborn from the opening ceremony to a brothel who was rich and well-behaved and transformed into a good man who valued love, responsibility and strategy in the later stage.
It is necessary to accurately grasp the transformation of the character's progressive growth trajectory and the gradual character color. For Liu Yichang, empathizing with the character's joys, anger, sorrows, and happiness with heart to exchange for heart is the key to performance.
undoubtedly, he did it. So, we see Zhao Cuo's appearance is domineering, cute and cute, but he loves to whine, but he loves deep and dedicated inside. Liu Yichang's acting skills have become a highlight in the play.
Sometimes it turns into a human-shaped barrage machine walking in many famous scenes such as firefly kissing, mandarin duck bathing in elementary school chicken quarrels, and sometimes it touches people's hearts with the delicate acting skills of silent and sound that I have never seen my mother for many years.
Liu Yichang's performance is appropriate in every scene, bringing surprises to people. This is the charm of the character and it is also a proof of the actor's research on acting skills. : To switch between the complexity of the multi-faceted personality of the characters, it is inseparable from the cornerstone laid by the performance skills.
Liu Yichang said that the most attractive thing about the character "Zhao Chou" is that no matter what difficulties he encounters, he will never retreat. He will always retain the sincerity of a big boy in his inner world. It is said that characters and actors will influence each other, and they will be exposed to each other in virtual utopia and the real world.
If "Zhao Chou" is reflected back to Liu Yichang, isn't this spirit of not giving up and being enterprising?
In fact, after reading Liu Yichang's performance resume, the movie "The Ferryman" officially debuted, and has participated in many film and television dramas such as "The Goddess of Blood", "When We Are the Sky", "Me and Two Him", and the roles are rarely homogeneous and he likes to meet various challenges.
In a sense, this restless performance route has laid the foundation for the "blind box boy" who is now showing his strength.
Atypical "male lead" with multiple faces for one person
After the popularity of "Young Master, Go Slowly", after a month, Liu Yichang once again dominated the screen with his new work "Chang'an Youth Travel", and he took the two-pronged fans and attracted fans.
Although the play plays the second male lead, there is no difference between big and small characters. The key is to polish it with awe. As he said, "If you get a role, you must take it seriously. No matter how big or small, there are reasons for existence. You must play every role well to be worthy of the profession of an actor."
What's more, being able to capture the audience's attention in a limited performance space is a moment to prove the actor's acting skills, which is also a great test for new actors. From this point of view, Liu Yichang passed the test.
According to Detawen data, Liu Yichang stood out under the character matching setting of the drama "one woman and many men", and his popularity contributed to the drama was second only to the male and female protagonists. Moreover, after three days of the show being online, he ranked tenth in the Deta Artist Rise Energy List (weekly List).
In "The Journey to Chang'an", Liu Yichang plays a swordsman named "Dugu Muxue". His name reveals the character's cold and arrogant personality background, but it is not the kind of unkind and unkind conventional character design that I imagined. The charm of this character lies in the strong contrast between cold outside and hot inside.
"I hope to die of old age and not bow in front of the carriage and horse" is his way of dealing with people and people who are not afraid of power. Dugu Muxue has a classic line, "The sword is the blade of the heart. It can also be killed or protected. The one who kills enemies, and the one who protects relatives and friends." This is also his code of conduct. The character's "double-faced" characteristics are revealed in one sentence, which instead gives the actor more room to play in limited scenes.
Dugu Muxue is determined and cruel to the enemy; Dugu Muxue is affectionate and righteous, and sincere to his friends. Liu Yichang switches between these two positions to interpret the role.
The so-called details are true. You can feel Liu Yichang's careful portrayal of the character in many plots that have been broadcast.
In a tavern, I met a person who was trying to get a glory and wealth. Dugu Muxue despised the other party and said something, causing trouble. He said, "Don't be afraid, you are not worth letting it out of the sheath." On the one hand, it shows its arrogant nature, and on the other hand, it implies the sacred significance of the sword to the swordsman. During the performance of
, Liu Yichang first frowned slightly and hit the table with a sudden blow, then looked ahead and turned the bounced chopstick tube into a weapon to slash at the other party. The micro-expression and a set of smooth movements not only demonstrated the domineering spirit of the swordsman, but also reflected the character's righteous and passionate passion.
The clean and neat fighting scene is not a violent aesthetic product that uses violence to defeat violence, but a plus point that complements the character's personality.
Dugu Muxue fought with the female assassin, not drawing his sword, but only subdued him with bare hands. Finally, he closed his hands and said, "I offended." First, it proves that his martial arts are very powerful, and second, it shows that a gentleman who is a woman will never bully the weak in terms of gender.
Liu Yichang's performance in one go has a sense of excitement. This is due to the hard work behind the camera. In order to make a good fight scene, he personally went on the battle, hanging wires and fighting with swords and swords is common, and several pairs of shoes alone have been worn out.
As the martial arts responsibility of the "Five Sons of Shangyi Pavilion" in the play, Dugu Muxue escorted his close friends and advanced and retreated together in times of crisis in the country. In this journey of youthful growth, everyone supports each other.
Whenever he gets along with his friends, Dugu Muxue is like a different person, because he can put down all his guards, enjoy like-minded friendships, and return to the true appearance of a "young young man in a bright clothes and anger".
For example, Dugu Muxue grinded herbs into the Forgetful Flowers she planted to heal the heroine. After being teased by Tang Jiuhua, she immediately stared at her and frowned. Her pupils seemed to ejaculate a warning of "shut up", highlighting the cute side of the cold swordsman taking off his guard and getting along with his friends. When Li Xinyuan raised his life doubts, Dugu Muxue became a spiritual mentor again, giving him guidance.
Liu Yichang and Dugu Muxue are similar in spirit, but they are quite similar in appearance. His debut in just over a dozen seconds laid the tone of the character's loneliness and freedom.
In the morning, in a corner of a street filled with miscellaneous items, three iconic props indicate the identity of his swordsman. After Dugu Muxue woke up, he stretched his waist decadently, then surrounded him with hawk eyes, and then took out the wine pot to drink.
Liu Yichang performed the unruly of a swordsman who used the sky as the cover of the earth as the hut, and the vigilance that he always maintained when he was in the world of the world. The highly recognizable dragon-beard hairstyle also suits the casualness of the swordsman.
Each character is a short process in the actor's acting career, and finally uses labels to piece together the appearance of the actor. Most people think that actors are a job that relies on experience to make a living. The deeper the qualifications, the more you have enough performance opportunities, you can accumulate rich performance experience, and the higher your ability to control the role.
But in Liu Yichang's view, is the primary principle of real listening, real watching and real feeling. Only by understanding the roles thoroughly can the performance be credible. Because actors are a profession that constantly contacts new identities and interprets other people's lives, maximizing emotions and wholehearted investment is the key direction for actors to focus on.
For young actors, the cruelty of competition is self-evident. If you are firm in your comfort zone, you may get bonuses in the short term, but over time, you will inevitably be reshuffled and left behind due to the iteration of audience aesthetic tastes or the change in the direction of the film and television market.
If you want to avoid being eliminated, you need to be prepared for danger in times of peace, especially young actors. In concrete actions, it is to give full play to the advantages of age, try different roles as early as possible during the trial and error period, and broaden the acting path, so that you can know your expertise and shortcomings in performance and pave the way for future development.
Judging from Liu Yichang's current performance trajectory, he is exploring the performance through various roles within his ability. This aggressive attitude is worthy of recognition.
and hard work has also brought rewards. In the popular drama "Young Master, Let's Go Slowly", Liu Yichang gained fans with her strength and received praise from more than 100 Weibo's big Vs, and the number of topic interactions exceeded 600 million. Acting skills, crying scenes, surprises, and cuteness have become the keywords of its public opinion. It even set off a wave of fan tap water ampere on platforms such as Douban and Lofter, and caused a large amount of food production for netizens on short video platforms such as , Douyin, , and B station. The authoritative list continues to be on the list, which once caused Liu Yichang's acting skills to be watched strongly.
In fact, every time Liu Yichang appears on the screen, it is full of expectations. It feels like a collection of limited edition blind boxes suddenly placed in front of you, and the surprise of opening the lid is fascinating. For this young boy who has just started his acting career, he has unlimited potential and the road ahead is still long. As long as he takes one step at a time, he will always reach the wonderful shore.
