Produced by Yangma, "Good Time" starring Mei Ting and Tian Yu, with a period drama theme and full of various BUFFs, has been well received since its launch.
But no one expected that because of his "big pie face", the audience's reputation has plummeted.
Recently, the TV series "Good Time" was officially launched. This drama mainly tells the story of middle-aged single men and women that took place in the late 1970s.
One is Zhuang Xianxian, who has two sons and a daughter, and the other is Su Xiaoman, who has a son and a daughter. The situation of raising a family destined that their relationship will not be smooth.
Five troubled children were forcibly brought together because of their parents' union. You can guess with your fingers that their future life will be chaotic.
Although this kind of TV series is about the shortcomings of parents at first glance, and there is no soul-stirring plot, it happens that this kind of life that is closest to the public is also the most touching.
"Alley People" is the best example.
At the same time, this drama also invited Mei Ting and Tian Yu to sit in, paired with young actors such as Chen Haoyu, which instantly increased the desire to watch.
Facts have proved that this drama did not disappoint everyone. The acting skills of Mei Ting and Tian Yu were online, and the audience was transported into that era as soon as it was aired.
Other actors such as Chen Haoyu and Liu Yitie did not hold back and steadily caught the scenes of the two seniors.
In just a few episodes, the story of two families in the late 1970s was slowly unfolded in front of the audience.
However, just when everyone was getting carried away, the appearance of a character broke the beauty.
In the play, Zhuang Xianxian has an apprentice in the factory. She is also the best friend and neighbor of Zhuang Xianxian's daughter, Zhuang Haohao. She is a carefree girl named Ye Aihua.
This character mainly serves as a flavoring agent to promote the development of the plot, and at the same time shows the independent and self-reliant side of women to the audience.
Judging from the plot content and logic, the character Ye Aihua is still necessary to exist, but when it comes to the choice of actors, it is a matter of taste and wisdom.
It is talk show actor Li Xueqin who plays Ye Aihua.
Perhaps instead of this identity, she should be described as "actor" now. Since becoming popular, she has participated in more than 20 film and television dramas.
Perhaps in the eyes of some netizens, Li Xueqin, who is not from a professional background, has reached this point as a result of her hard work, so she deserves to be sought after and become an idol among fans.
But from a professional perspective, Li Xueqin is not only unable to match her identity as an actor, she has even set a wrong example for many young people who have dreams of becoming stars.
Let’s talk about this drama first. Li Xueqin’s Ye Aihua’s character is not complicated, but her emotions are not single.
But in Li Xueqin's performance, the audience was never able to feel the progression of her emotions.
Xiao Tao in "Broken Waist", Wu Yun in "Hometown, Goodbye", etc. Among the same type of characters, Li Xueqin did not accurately express the differences between different characters.
She always looks the same in every role she plays, silly and tactless.
The second problem is her appearance. The artistic photos are very good, but in the dynamic video, the flaws of the facial features are clearly visible, including protruding cheekbones, a big face, small eyes, and a not-so-good-looking mouth.
Of course, it might not be enough to say that she is ugly, she just looks like an ordinary person, but when placed next to female celebrities who are famous for their beauty, Li Xueqin is really "ugly".
Although we do not deny that not all film and television dramas and roles need to be played by a stunning beauty, many times they also need actors like Li Xueqin whose appearance is closer to the lives of ordinary people.
But the problem is that she must first be an actor with online acting skills, and then she can be qualified to discuss whether she is suitable for the corresponding role.
Some netizens even bluntly stated that they had high expectations for this drama and thought it would become the next "Alley Family".
But because of Li Xueqin's appearance, all expectations were dashed, and the quality of the entire drama was also lowered a lot.
Although the words may not sound good, they are the sentiments of many netizens. Now that Li Xueqin has decided to enter the film and television industry, she must be mentally prepared to accept public criticism.
As mentioned above, I believe that in the eyes of Li Xueqin and the fans who love her, whether it is TV or movies, they are resources that Li Xueqin has obtained through her own efforts and should not be criticized.
But we might as well look at this from a different perspective. Without outstanding acting skills or stunning beauty, Li Xueqin's film and television resources are so good.
Although most of them are supporting roles, her supporting roles are all very present, with close-ups, lines, character lines, etc., there is no shortage of them.
If you can perform well, it is not impossible to become famous overnight.
But she does not have the matching conditions for an actor, so what is the reason that allows her to obtain these enviable resources?
The answer is obvious, popularity, or traffic, because she became popular through talk shows and has a very huge audience and fan base.
In the past few years, the companies behind her have also been promoting her, including variety shows, evening parties, various activities, etc., constantly increasing her popularity and consolidating her popularity.
Once there is traffic, it will naturally attract the attention of capital, and resources will follow.
It doesn't matter whether you have acting skills or not, and it doesn't matter whether you have looks. These high thresholds that once shut out countless people with dreams of film and television are now in vain in front of Li Xueqin.
I’m sure some people will say that this is sour grapes. This kind of narrow-minded thinking cannot see the deeper darkness and helplessness behind it.
If traffic is really king and skills are no longer the core, does that mean that everyone can use traffic as the key to open the door to internal entertainment, and it will be unimpeded?
The next extension must be to have no lower limit on traffic. Although this situation is not uncommon now, at least everyone still maintains the most basic dignity.
If this dignity is torn to pieces, where can we talk about three views, positive energy and role models?
Li Xueqin can be successful, can be loved by the public, and can even act.
But professional matters must be left to professionals. Before she can no longer be called a professional actor, please return film and television dramas to professional actors.
I believe that even without her, these film and television dramas can be filmed smoothly, and suitable candidates can be found for those roles, even more suitable than her.
Talk shows are what she is good at and the basis for her fortune.
Now, she is putting more time and energy into other places, and is careful to end up in a mess.
