The world is a huge face-slapping tour, and I still remember that at the end of last year, at the "Scream Night" awards ceremony, Yang Mi, who won the "Audience Actress of the Year", made that bold statement on the podium, "2024, we will see each other in our works." ”

Yes, she was full of ambition at that time, because she had N starring TV and movies to be broadcast. According to the probability, if one of them can explode, this year will be a bumper year for her.

But who would have thought that if the tone was too high, it would trip over its feet, and the slap in the face would come so fiercely and quickly.

2024 is just over halfway, from "Harbin 1944", to "There is No Thing That Can't Be Solved by a Hot Pot", and then to the much-anticipated "Fox Demon Little Red Lady", new dramas and movies have been broadcast three times in a row, and word of mouth has been pounced three times.

This result was unexpected for Yang Mi himself and fans who were still looking forward to it.

Since the beginning of a child star, Yang Mi, who has debuted for decades, has long adapted to the camera, and is good at how to show her beauty in front of the camera to ensure that screenshots are beautiful at any time, and she did it.

But if you care too much about the beauty of your skin, it's often difficult to balance performance and emotion.

In "Harbin 1944", which was first broadcast, objectively speaking, it can be seen that Yang Mi wants to break through. is like director Zhang Li's evaluation: "Yang Mi used to be performing beautifully, but now he is starting to get rid of his beauty." ”

In order to play the role of female spy Guan Xue, she can be said to have worked extremely hard and basically gave up expression management. When playing a fierce game, he is not afraid to expose his ruthlessness and hideousness, so that he leaves many black and ugly pictures with sunken faces, deep nasolabial folds, and sobbing water.

This kind of attempt to open up cannot be said to be fruitless.

In a limited few scenes and plots, she can still perform the pride and conceit brought by her complex background. However, her changes are not enough to cover the starring roles with so many scenes.

Therefore, many parts that floated on the surface and collapsed without going deep into the characters were brought out for her to be on the hot search again and become the target of public criticism. After all, hard work does not mean that the degree of completion is high, and playing ugly does not mean that the acting skills can be good.

The irritability and irritability she shows are always on the verge of getting out of control, and she seems to be fierce and inward-looking, and the performance of joy and anger is also difficult to match her status in the military command.

and the greasy and pretentious expression was even ridiculed as the female version of the "oil king".

Wang Ou and Yang Mi, who are always compared together in and out of the play, also played the role of agents of the Republic of China, and the finished product was ridiculed by netizens: "Wang Manchun is a poisonous snake spitting letters, and his gestures reveal ruthlessness; And Guan Xue is like a moth fluttering hard, using too much force, for fear that others will not know that she is acting. ”

and the movie "There Is No Thing That Can't Be Solved by a Hot Pot" with Yu Qian, the box office is only 5200w, which is extremely bleak and facing losses, and it was announced that it would be urgently withdrawn within 5 days of its release, leaving a burst of boos.

The most anticipated and most important Xianxia ancient puppet "Fox Demon Little Red Lady" properly belongs to Yang Mi's comfort zone. This top-notch Chinese comic, from the original anime to the adapted participating team, are all handsome men and beautiful women, and the per capita domestic entertainment is top-notch. In other places, you can carry the roles of a man and a woman alone.

Therefore, last year, all kinds of Reuters and propaganda went out on the street, and trivial leftovers could also be hot searches, pulling the expectations of fans and audiences to the highest. So much so that the first episode of the broadcast had 40w+ online views, which was a well-deserved hit.

It's like skydiving, taking off from a high altitude and then falling all the way. A netizen praised and commented, looking at the fox demon: "There are so many handsome guys and beauties, even if they are filmed as, it will not be difficult to see where to go."

After watching the fox demon: "I really can't stand it." ”

Yang Mi, who once debuted with agility and later became popular with his sharp and domineering spirit, obviously returned to the comfort zone of the ancient puppet fairy, but he performed a weak and weak facial paralysis.

Tu Shan Honghong, as the lord of Tu Mountain, even lost his arrogance and momentum in "Harbin 1944".

Her emotions did not fluctuate, her cold face was stiff, and her lips opened and closed, like an AI robot; The half-open eyelids seem to be pickled by the class flavor, and only the old fritter-style coping is left, and there is a kind of fatigue that wants to pick a child and is in a hurry to retire.

Thousands of sails are over, and Tu Shan Honghong, who has no vitality, is very unworthy of the CP of Gong Jun's group who pretends to be lively, and is ridiculed as Gong Jun and his aunt in the play, and should be renamed "Fox Demon Old Red Lady".

When the preheating was boiling, it was later beaten on the ground by "Ink Rain and Clouds", which was not announced and quietly launched, and fans were proud to step on it: If you can't beat "Celebrating More Than Years 2", can't you beat a fox demon?

But looking back, these dramas are even fighting in the black cauldron, can only let the leading actor carry everything, and there is no problem with other scripts/shooting/service/special effects?

Of course not. But Yang Mi, as a top streamer who combines traffic and controversy, has gathered all the firepower, but let other problems be "lightly carried over".

In the red drama "Harbin 1944", a lot of space is used to tell about the difficulties of female villains, and the agent drama of the protagonist is set off by reducing intelligence;

In "The Fox Demon Little Red Lady", there is a "year-old love" that respects the essence of the original work, and the female protagonist raises the male protagonist from a child for 16 years, and finally talks about love happily, this taboo is outrageous, and even surpasses the different paths of shemales.

Not to mention that the plot is empty and water-filled, it is ridiculed as a "children's drama", the picture is fancy like a page tour, and the actors all stand and wave their arms, all relying on post-production special effects.

The starring role is of course the branches and leaves outside, but the script is the script of a play, and many plots have problems from the root.

In the bloody internal entertainment, Yang Mi, who can fight a bloody road, in addition to the tuyere and fortune, naturally does something right.

She debuted from a drama and is more powerful than the singing and dancing idols who transformed halfway; She dares to blacken herself and has a good personality, and she has a topic more than a decent actor.

Yang Mi is undoubtedly the kind of artist who is most suitable for the traffic era. But now, the tide of hot money and traffic has receded, and the environment and public sentiment are sluggish. The same set is no longer playable today.

Yang Mi, who established a company and became the female overlord, has filmed 8 dramas in just a few years, 7 of which are self-made by Jiaxing; The gang was finally dismantled in May last year, and everyone was watching and looking forward to it, feeling that Yang Mi, who had gotten rid of capital control, could finally choose a good script at will and realize his dream of being a "people's actor".

But in the trifecta in 2024, everyone finally realized: It is related to the improper selection of dramas, but the actors themselves are the biggest problem.

There was a highly praised comment on the Internet: "It's our own fault that we still have expectations for her." ”

The words are not poisonous and unpleasant, only a strong disappointment and burnout. It's actually a pity.

Is Yang Mi not working hard enough?

Wrong. No one can deny Yang Mi's dedication. In the decades since her debut, she has not been idle for a moment. Even during the critical period of pregnancy, she ran on the scene with a big belly and high heels, and quickly came back not long after giving birth.

Being married and having children has hardly affected her on the fast track of her career, for so many years, she has fixed dramas filming, variety shows to record, interviews on the red carpet and receiving awards non-stop, and every private clothes and street photography at the airport can trigger follow-up purchases.

The anxiety of being humiliated and changing roles before becoming famous still seems to be entrenched in her head. So she is like a desperate Sanniang, after becoming popular, she is crazy about drama, and when her status is stable, she still ensures that there are works to be broadcast every year, and her professionalism is in the front row among the 85 flowers.

Do you say that Yang Mi has no attitude?

Not right either. In 2021, director Li Shaohong sharply commented on Yang Mi's sentence "Happiness is hahaha, pain is wow, wow, wow." The filming is too procedural, but it's not a brain", he will be mentioned by himself in all interviews, and he will take the initiative to show it to the public.

The criticism of experts, everyone's ridicule, and the smart Yang Mi even knows his own problems better than anyone else.

"Harbin 1944", which is known as a work of transformation, emphasized Yang Mi's determination to change again and again through the character "Yang Mi, Her Choice" and various interviews, including: find a professional acting teacher, give up entertainment after work, rehearse over and over again, memorize all lines without script, and never be late.

A person like Yang Mi who is so competitive and face-saving will not put so many cruel words when he has no bottom in his heart. But why does she keep teaching and still make the drama like this?

There is only one answer: she really wants to act well, but she has been defeated again and again, and she is powerless.

Yang Mi is too smart, she is like a calm and self-contained entrepreneur, she can become a topical star by quitting emotions; But you can't become an artist by design, step by step, the latter requires a little bit of obsession and madness.

Accustomed to the patterned role of the factory assembly line, and subconsciously providing batch goods with consistent specifications, it is difficult to turn back into unique and collectible art pieces.

The slogan precedes the actual performance, and the marketing is greater than the finished product.

may be out of the need for hype, but if you talk too much and too much, you will be slapped in the face after raising expectations. Hitting the street on flat ground is different from climbing a high-rise building and then pounced.

And every time it is thunder and rain, it leaves an impression of "a giant of language and a dwarf of action". It is said that things are done in secret, and quietly cultivating may be able to hold back a big move; Beat the gong and drum in advance to set himself up on a high place, and that breath was vented early.

Soberly try, soberly fail.

For Yang Mi's face-opening toss, he would rather be ridiculed than come again, and the cicada owner appreciates it; But for the audience to digest her failed defective products, the cicada owner is distressed.

Yang Mi is like a high-strength spinning top, with more craftsmanship and no aura.

And people who work too hard can't run far. Acting routines are not formed in a day, and it is impossible to change their appearance in just a few months of acting classes from famous teachers.

Zhang Songwen once advised those traffic idols who trained and made their debut in their teens and were praised by the stars in an acting variety show, "If you want to live with this society, it is recommended to take a bus, sit on the street, go to the market and vegetable market, and see what the life of the vast majority of ordinary people is like." ”

Yang Mi at this stage: It doesn't matter what you shoot, it's more important to choose what not to shoot.

Don't compete for the position to make a cameo appearance in the main drama, soak in the crew on a small bench like a newcomer, and study the acting methods of old drama bones; Instead of crazy drama training, it is better to give yourself a long vacation. Devoting oneself to the life of firewood, rice, oil and salt can perform the joys, sorrows and sorrows of ordinary people.

If you quit your emotions and can't be a good actor, you don't want to be "tempted", how can you break the routine? Three bloody times in a row, the whole network is declining today: the public has not left much opportunity and patience for Yang Mi to try and make mistakes.
