"Fox Demon Little Red Lady Moon Red Chapter", as a popular Chinese comic IP adaptation performed by Yang Mi and Gong Jun, has attracted much attention since its preparation. However, despite a strong cast and high expectations, the show unexpectedly suffered a word-of-mouth waterloo after it aired. This phenomenon not only disappointed fans, but also sparked widespread discussion and reflection.
"Fox Demon Little Red Lady Moon Red Chapter" is adapted from the Chinese comic of the same name, and the original work has accumulated a good reputation among the audience with its novel setting and touching plot.
The drama version is played by Yang Mi as the heroine Tu Shan Honghong, and Gong Jun as the male protagonist Dongfang Yue. As one of the most well-known Guoman IPs in China, the show frequently appeared on the hot search in the early publicity stage, especially in the context of the rumored finalization of "Celebrating More Than Years 2", which has attracted widespread attention.
After the trailer and stills were released, Yang Mi's style and temperament were praised for a while, which further raised the audience's expectations.
Despite the great momentum in the early days, the series failed to become as popular as expected after it was broadcast, but was attacked by "Celebrating More Than Years 2" and "Ink Rain Clouds". Here are the main reasons for the show's failure:
1. Yang Mi's acting skills
Although Yang Mi's styling is stunning in the still pictures,
However, the performance in dynamic video is less impressive.
Tu Shan Honghong, played by her, was supposed to be a female ruler who had great righteousness in mind and saved the common people, but Yang Mi's performance was criticized by the audience as "facial paralysis" and lacked due emotion and depth. This way of acting has a clear separation from the character setting, which cannot resonate with the audience.
2. The issue of script adaptation
The key plot points in the original work, such as the ladyboy love and the bitter love tree, have been greatly simplified in the drama version, making the plot progress seem rapid and far-fetched.
The difficult setting of shemale love has been weakened, and the emotional line of the male and female protagonists lacks sufficient foreshadowing, resulting in abrupt and blunt emotional scenes. In addition, some lines are moved from the second dimension to the third dimension as they are, which is not natural enough and arouses the disgust of the audience.
3. Feedback from the audience
Much of the online discussion focused on mockery of actors' acting skills and special effects. The audience generally thinks that Yang Mi's performance is tired and lacks due emotion, and although Gong Jun's performance is passionate, the chemistry between the two partners is not strong. In addition, the special effects in the play were criticized as cheap and unnatural, exacerbating the audience's disappointment.
Since his debut, Yang Mi has accumulated a lot of popularity and popularity with many hit dramas. "Palace",
"The Legend of the Ancient Sword",
"Three Lives and Three Generations and Ten Miles of Momoka"
and other works not only achieved high ratings, but also became popular with many actors. However, in recent years, Yang Mi's strategy has shown an obvious tendency to prioritize traffic, and the scripts he chooses pay more attention to its market effect and topicality, rather than quality and depth.
Unlike Yang Mi, Zhao Liying and Tang Yan have achieved remarkable success in the transformation process.
Zhao Liying showed her acting strength in urban dramas with "The Wind Blows in the Summer", and won a bumper harvest of word-of-mouth and ratings.
Tang Yan has shown a new level of acting skills in "Flowers" through years of dormancy and careful polishing of the role, and even won a Magnolia Award nomination. In contrast, Yang Mi still relies on the traffic strategy, lacking in-depth excavation of roles and breakthroughs in acting skills.
Yang Mi's failure in "The Fox Demon Little Red Lady Moon Red Chapter" once again exposed her problems in acting skills and choice of roles.
Although she is still the queen of traffic in the entertainment industry, the audience's expectations for her are not only traffic and topics, but also hope to see her grow and break through in her acting skills.
In the future, Yang Mi needs to re-examine his strategy for taking over the role, pay more attention to the quality of the script and the depth of the role, try different types of roles, and truly realize the improvement of acting skills and the success of transformation.
Only in this way can she reshape her image in the hearts of the audience and regain their trust and affection.
