Regarding Liu Xiaoqing's choice, netizens have different opinions. Some netizens feel that the age of 73-year-old Liu Xiaoqing is really not suitable for playing Daji, a succubus who was active thousands of years ago, which is tantamount to laughing at himself. But some netizens praised Liu Xiaoqing for still being full of energy and confidence, and this kind of openness to trying new roles is great. In general, the vast majority of netizens expressed their expectations for how "Aged Daji" would behave in a joking tone.
In fact, as a veteran figure in the Chinese film and television industry, Liu Xiaoqing does have extraordinary film cells and rich acting experience. Her performance in many historical movies has been well received, and she has played important historical figures such as Wu Zetian realistically. In contrast to the notion that judging age based solely on appearance is inappropriate, the author believes that we should not stop at the face value, but should focus on Liu Xiaoqing's strength as an excellent performer.
Furthermore, we should not forget that Daji in "Romance of the Gods" does not actually have a clear age setting. As a youkai, her appearance is difficult to measure. Just as there are many talented middle-aged and elderly actors who play young roles, as long as the performance strives for authenticity, it will be competent. Under the processing of film footage and post-special effects, an experienced actress is likely to interpret the image of a powerful Daji who has nothing to do with age and knows many aspects of the world, and plays it very devotedly.
In addition, many netizens also pointed out that 73-year-old Liu Xiaoqing, compared with popular young actors, still maintains an excellent figure and facial lines, and can completely interpret Daji of the corresponding age level under the treatment of costumes. As she herself confidently said in the interview, she is in good shape for exercising, and she is fully confident in interpreting the roles of various colors.
In addition to the simple superficial age controversy, let's think about another question: "Romance of the Gods" is a large-scale mythological drama that has attracted wide attention, and the shaping of its highlight Daji will also affect the texture and momentum of the series.
In the current situation that there is still a lack of popular young actresses who can take on this important task in China, choosing an industry veteran to serve actually has its unique mapping and eye-catching value. It is believed that after in-depth discussion by the director and production team, Daji's style and performance style will be created to bring a different visual impact to the series.
Regarding Liu Xiaoqing's desire to star in Daji in "Romance of the Gods", netizens reacted enthusiastically, but most of them stayed on the controversy of the starting point, and failed to think deeply about its true value. From the perspective of performance strength and the public relations effect brought to the series, it is not necessarily undesirable to interpret a famous role as a queen-level character, and the production team is also worthy of serious study.
It is believed that as long as it is handled properly, it will definitely bring an excellent visual experience. Perhaps it is the need to bring new attempts and perspectives to domestic mythological films. This choice is a no-no, far-sighted, and needs to be proven in practice. But we should give a more comprehensive and in-depth discussion.
