The success of the first season of "Celebrating More Than Years" has made many viewers look forward to its sequel. However, with the broadcast of "Celebrating More Than Years 2", an undercurrent of disappointment began to spread among the audience.
What was once a heated discussion gradually turned into controversy, and word of mouth fell sharply from its peak.
From the drastic changes in the cast, to the collision of new faces and old characters, to the change in the rhythm of plot development, every link has aroused questions from the audience.
Especially when the "crooked melon face" actors mixed into the crew, in stark contrast to the original "natural face" actors, the audience seemed to have experienced an unexpected dimensionality reduction blow.
Let's uncover the story behind "Celebrating More Than Years Season 2" and explore how the show went from a much-anticipated to a controversial one.
The core plot of "Celebrating More Than Years 2" revolves around Fan Xian's fake death and rebirth. After five years of hibernation, Fan Xian finally returned to the court, and this plot is undoubtedly the focus of the whole play.
Fan Xian, played by Zhang Ruoyun, showed convincing acting skills when facing Emperor Qing. Especially in the scene where Emperor Xiang Qing knelt down and confessed his mistakes, Zhang Ruoyun perfectly interpreted Fan Xian's inner struggle, remorse and hidden wisdom through delicate expression changes and precise body language.
Fan Xian's eyes full of deep meaning, slightly trembling lips, and the green tendons on his neck due to emotional excitement all show Zhang Ruoyun's deep understanding and control of the role.
His performance not only won praise from the audience, but also injected a shot of strength into the whole show.
However, when the camera pans to the other characters, this high-caliber performance appears somewhat isolating. Especially in the rivalry between Fan Xian and Yan Bingyun, the gap in acting skills is even more obvious.
The new version of Yan Bingyun, played by Wu Xingjian, looks jerky and unnatural, both in terms of lines and emotional expression.
When Yan Bingyun questioned Fan Xian's question about the source of the blood and ashes, Wu Xingjian's performance lacked the depth and tension it deserved. His stiff expression and stiff movements are very different from the character's original sense of mystery and acuity.
What's worse is that after the lines are over, there are also some unprofessional small actions, such as pursing the lips, swallowing, etc., these details undoubtedly affect the overall look and feel.
This stark contrast not only highlights Zhang Ruoyun's outstanding performance, but also unfortunately magnifies the shortcomings of other actors. The plot that was supposed to be gripping was greatly reduced because of the disparity in acting.
The important plot of Fan Xian's fake death and rebirth should have become the highlight of the whole play, but it was a little overshadowed by the disparity in strength between the actors.
This kind of contest of acting skills has invisibly become a dimensionality reduction blow to the "natural face" actor to the "crooked melon face" actor. It not only affects the effect of individual scenes, but also has a profound impact on the quality of the whole show.
The audience can't help but sigh that an excellent work not only needs a well-designed script, but also needs a full range of actors to support it.
Wang Qinian, as one of the souls of the "Celebrating More Than Years" series, still maintains its unique charm in the second season. His witty and humorous image injects a light-hearted and joyful atmosphere into the series.
Especially after Fan Xian's return, Wang Qinian's various institutions set up to protect his family not only showed his loyalty and wisdom, but also aroused a smile from the audience.
Wang Qinian's expression management is superb, from his funny facial expressions to the exaggerated shape with red flowers on his head, every detail is just right to interpret the charm of this character.
The interaction between him and Fan Xian is even more tacit, whether it is verbal confrontation or tacit cooperation, the audience feels the deep friendship between the two.
However, the new role of "Mrs. Wang" (played by Gao Lu) in the crew broke this harmony. The sudden appearance of Mrs. Wang not only did not add color to the plot, but gave people a sense of abruptness and incongruity.
Although Gao Lu's acting skills are not too clumsy, the integration of his character setting and the overall plot is questionable.
Especially when Mrs. Wang questioned Fan Xian's love history in a condescending manner, and even made Fan Xian, who has always been fearless, afraid, the audience couldn't help but feel confused.
This kind of plot setting not only contradicts Fan Xian's character, but also weakens the positive image of Wang Qinian's family in the play.
Wang Qinian's loyal humor and Mrs. Wang's inexplicable strength form an awkward contrast, making the audience question the screenwriter's intentions. The existence of this contradiction is undoubtedly another negative impact brought about by the addition of "crooked melon face" actors.
It not only affects the audience's perception of the original characters, but also destroys the coherence and credibility of the plot to a certain extent.
This imbalance in the character setting once again highlights the shortcomings of "Celebrating More Than Years 2" in character creation and plot development, and also makes the audience have to re-examine the production level of this sequel.
The replacement of Yan Bingyun's role has undoubtedly become one of the biggest controversies in "Celebrating More Than Years 2". From Xiao Zhan, who was praised in the first season, to Wu Xingjian, who was questioned in the second season, this change is not only a replacement of actors, but also a huge turning point in the temperament of the entire character.
In the first season, Xiao Zhan's portrayal of Yan Bingyun left a deep impression on the audience. He vividly interprets the mystery and elusive qualities of the character, which perfectly fits the image of Yan Bingyun in the original book.
However, after Wu Xingjian took over the baton, Yan Bingyun seemed to be a different person. The original unfathomable temperament is gone, replaced by a mediocre, even somewhat clumsy image.
When Yan Bingyun appeared on the screen for the first time, the audience felt a huge gap. Wu Xingjian's exaggerated facial features—oversized nostrils, jagged teeth, and a valgus lower lip—are very different from Yan Bingyun's original image.
This visual impact undoubtedly brought great discomfort to the audience.
What's even more regrettable is that Wu Xingjian's performance is far from meeting the requirements of the role. When he asked Fan Xian suspiciously about the source of his blood, his stiff tone and lack of depth in his eyes could not convey the sharpness and wisdom that Yan Bingyun should have.
Even after the lines ended, there were some unprofessional small actions, such as pursing their lips, swallowing, etc., all of which reminded the audience that this new Yan Bingyun was far from the image in their minds.
Yan Bingyun is an important character in the play, and his performance directly affects the development of the overall plot and the audience's perception. The rivalry that was supposed to be full of tension was greatly reduced by Yan Bingyun's poor performance.
The chain reaction triggered by this role change is not just a problem for a single character, but a drag on the whole show.
The audience couldn't help but sigh that the replacement of a role can have such a huge impact on the whole show. This replacement of "crooked face" with "natural face" not only did not bring new vitality to the series, but became one of the key factors dragging down the overall quality.
The incident also raised questions about the criteria for selecting actors. Is it too much to pursue "traffic" and ignore the matching degree of acting skills and image? Should more attention be paid to character coherence and audience acceptance? The answers to these questions may provide a reference for future film and television production.
If the replacement of Yan Bingyun has caused dissatisfaction among the audience, then Ye Ling'er played by Jin Chen has pushed this dissatisfaction to a new height. As the heir of a martial arts family, Ye Ling'er should have shown a sassy and heroic posture and smart temperament, but Jin Chen's image had a huge contrast with this setting.
The audience's evaluation of Jin Chen's appearance can be described as merciless. The "terrifying double eyelids, lips that are about to fall out, and nostrils of different sizes" have become the focus of heated discussions among the audience.
This kind of appearance characteristics, which are described as "crooked melon faces", form a strong contrast with the original beauty and heroism of Ye Linger's character. Jin Chen's image of being too thin and haggard even lacks the bearing and posture that a martial arts family heir should have.
What's worse is that Jin Chen's debut in the seventh episode shocked the audience with his special image. This not only did not add highlights to the plot, but became one of the reasons why many viewers chose to abandon the show.
Some viewers bluntly said: "As soon as I see Jin Chen appear, the whole perception is ruined, and I want to abandon the show!" This strong negative reaction undoubtedly dealt a serious blow to the reputation of the whole show.
The addition of Jin Chen is in stark contrast to the other "natural face" actors in the play, and this sense of visual incongruity is undoubtedly a dimensionality reduction blow to the overall perception.
However, the controversy does not stem solely from physical appearance. Jin Chen's performance also failed to fully show Ye Ling'er's temperament and martial arts background. That kind of eccentric quality, as well as the aura of being a martial arts master, seemed to be greatly discounted under Jin Chen's interpretation.
This lack of performance further deepened the audience's disappointment with this character adaptation.
The controversy over Ye Linger's role not only reflects the audience's attention to the casting of actors, but also reflects some problems in the production concept of the entire film and television industry.
Excessive pursuit of traffic and topicality, while ignoring the needs of the characters themselves and the feelings of the audience, will undoubtedly affect the overall quality and reputation of the work.
The controversy over the role of Ye Linger in "Celebrating More Than Years 2" may be a wake-up call for the entire industry: while pursuing commercial value, we should respect the work itself and the audience's aesthetics and expectations.
Only in this way can we truly create excellent works that will stand the test of time.
Looking at the first seven episodes of "Celebrating More Than Years 2", I have to admit that this highly anticipated sequel seems to have failed to meet the audience's expectations. The plot is developing slowly, and important characters such as Ye Wan'er have not appeared for a long time, which makes the audience feel a little disappointed.
The drastic change in cast became the biggest point of controversy. The addition of "crooked melon face" actors forms a strong contrast with the original "natural face" actors, and this gap in vision and acting skills has undoubtedly caused a lot of impact on the audience's perception.
Not everything is negative. Fan Xian, played by Zhang Ruoyun, still maintained an excellent performance, and his superb acting skills retained a hint of brightness for the series. Characters such as Wang Qinian also continued the charm of the first season and brought joy to the audience.
But it is still unknown whether these highlights will be enough to make up for the shortcomings in other aspects and save the reputation of the whole show. The experience of "Celebrating More Than Years 2" may be a warning to the industry: while pursuing traffic, don't ignore the matching degree between the characters and actors, as well as the coordination of the overall crew.
This huge gap between expectations and reality not only reflects the audience's pursuit of quality, but also reflects the challenges facing the current film and television industry. How to find a balance between commercial value and artistic pursuit, and how to meet the increasing aesthetic needs of the audience, these are all questions worthy of deep consideration by the entire industry.
