Many actresses have played too many roles of this type, which makes the audience stereotype them as ordinary-looking, such as Wang Xihua and Selina.
As everyone knows, when they were young, they were all amazingly beautiful, and some even made a name for themselves. The contrast in and out of the play is too great for people to recognize.
In last year's hit drama "Children of the Qiao Family", Wang Lan played Qu Aying, a nanny who secretly tried to occupy the magpie's nest. She vividly interprets the dark side of the role, and the audience in front of the screen hates her.
Some viewers also commented that she didn't look like a good person at first glance.
This is really wrong about Wang Lan. She was beautiful when she was young and was once famous for her beauty.
Wang Lan was tall when he was young, with deep three-dimensional facial features and gorgeous appearance. Because she looks quite similar to Joey Wong, people nicknamed her "Joey Wong in the Mainland". When she smiles, there is a looming pear vortex around her mouth, which is very eye-catching.
Her collaboration with You Yongzhi in The Vortex has reached a new height. There is a scene in which You Yongzhi dresses her, and the way she pulls her hair has the temperament of a Korean drama royal sister.
Wang Lan, a native of Xinjiang, can sing and dance since he was a child. She is gifted in literature and art. 1990 was admitted to the Central Academy of Drama and became classmates with Chen Jianbin and Li.
Because of her outstanding appearance, Wang Lan was chosen to play Liu Xiaohong, a young college student who wanted to commit suicide, in The Story of the Editorial Department.
Although Wang Lan doesn't have many scenes, he is amazing. Zhao Baogang, the director, is also very optimistic about her, and decided her as the heroine of Addiction early. Wang Lan also readily agreed.
But due to the long preparation time, Wang Lan also forgot about it. At that time, when director Huang Jianxin invited her to make the film "Five Kui", she signed a contract and stood on the "addiction".
Zhao Baogang was very angry when he learned about it. He denounced Wang Lan for not paying attention to his fledgling young director and pursuing the director's fame too much, so Wang Lan also offended many colleagues.
As a result, substitute Jison became an instant hit, and the box office of Five Kui was bleak.
This is the entertainment industry. There may only be one chance to be popular. If you miss it, you lose it. Wang Lan belongs to an actor who didn't grasp the opportunity and went higher and lower.
After that, Wang Lan appeared in many TV series. Although Yan Yan's acting skills are online, they have been tepid.
At the bottom of her career, she was diagnosed with thyroid cancer and had to quit treatment.
Although she was always optimistic during the treatment, the side effects of the treatment greatly changed her figure and appearance.
The youthful and beautiful appearance in the past is no longer replaced by the fat and bloated appearance.
Wang Lan couldn't accept this change, and she had the idea of quitting the show business, so she was depressed for a while.
However, her love for performance made her accept herself, return to the entertainment circle, and find a new way to play.
So the audience watched Wang Lan play a supporting role in many plays, such as Red Sorghum, The War of the Old Cow Family, Big Times, Soldiers in France, One Servant and Two Owners, The Children of the Qiao Family, The Most Beautiful Reversal and so on.
Although they were all supporting roles, Wang Lan performed with his heart. She also proved that a good actor is not based on face value but acting skills. When I was young, I missed the opportunity to become popular. Every step I took in middle age was more cautious and serious in my choices.
In Country Love, Yu Yuexian plays Xie Dajiao, a middle-aged woman with a loud voice and rustic clothes. Because this role is deeply rooted in people's hearts, the audience always automatically associates Yu Yuexian with the Northeast Aunt.
Xie Dajiao in the play is always rustic, while Yu Yuexian in real life looks friendly and grounded. Even though he is fat, you can see that Yu Yuexian was not cheap when he was young.
When I was young, Yu Yuexian was really a great beauty, with a standard oval face, exquisite facial features and a tall figure. She looks a bit like Chen Hong, especially her long thick hair, which makes many bald migrant workers envious.
Yu Yuexian graduated from China Theatre Academy. At first, she didn't take the route of country drama. She also played many charming roles, especially the beauty in ancient costume.
She starred in Jin Cuilian in Water Margin. Originally, Yu Yuexian was recommended to play Pan Jinlian, but he was not selected by the director, so he could only play Jin Cuilian, who had a small part.
As the first woman in the play, Jin Cuilian's exquisite image is also impressive.
Then he played The Journey to the West. Many years later, the audience explored the play, only to find that it was charming, and the suffocating Chen Wuzhen and Xie Dajiao were actually performed by the same actor.
Although Yu Yuexian played many roles, he was always tepid.
Zhao Benshan is Yu Yuexian's cousin. At the beginning of the Millennium, Zhao Benshan has become a famous "king of sketches" in China. Zhao Benshan also began to set foot in the field of film and television. Yu Yuexian, who had a bad career for many years, began to see hope and volunteered to Zhao Benshan.
But Zhao Benshan refused, because Yu Yuexian was too beautiful and ungrounded to co-star in country dramas.
To this end, Yu Yuexian did not hesitate to dress up as ugly, and went to the countryside to experience life. Finally, Yu Yuexian's "Xie Dajiao" appeared, and she became popular for this role.
At the age of 48, Yu Yuexian participated in the variety "The Birth of an Actor", which proved to the audience that actors with rural themes are very flexible.
It's a pity that I envy talents. Last year, Yu Yuexian died unexpectedly at the age of 50.
When "in the name of people" was popular, it was said that Qi Tongwei's wife, Liang Lu, was the beauty queen of the school. Many young viewers expressed disbelief.
In the play, Liang Lu's appearance is really not outstanding, and it is exaggerated to say that she is the beauty of the school, but Tao Huimin, her actor, was really a great beauty when she was young. If she was taken to Tao Huimin when she was young, there would be no dispute.
Tao Huimin is a typical Jiangnan woman, with a small round face, exquisite facial features, delicate and graceful, and gentle temperament.
1978, 12-year-old Tao Huimin joined the Ruian Yue Opera Troupe. As a result, she stood out from thousands of applicants and became the only girl admitted. Later, she became an official actress of the Yue Opera Troupe.
As a Shaoxing opera actress, she performed well in the troupe in her early years, which promoted her acting career.
Tao Huimin, who moved to the screen, became an instant hit with the TV series Yang Naiwu and Chinese Cabbage. Her bitter experience and clever and delicate appearance in the play aroused the sympathy of the audience, and some people would call her Chinese cabbage.
In the same year, Tao Huimin starred in the film version of A Dream of Red Mansions, Lin Daiyu. Although this version is rarely mentioned, Tao Huimin's performance in the play is also remarkable. She feels more like a family.
The Legend of Guanyin and Fulu are also Tao Huimin's classic works. In these two plays, she is dignified, beautiful, atmospheric and beautiful in shape.
Tao Huimin has been filming all these years. After entering middle age, with the increase of experience, the temperament became more and more calm and began to turn to the role of mother and elder.
She played Kiton's mother in "Accidentally Falling in Love with You", not to mention the fact that these two people really look like mother and daughter.
Many people have the impression that Juanzi is beautiful and generous in The Journey to the West, with a brave, resourceful and tolerant fairy in the garden and an unruly, willful, sweet and playful princess in Pyeongchang who misplaced her sedan chair.
Juanzi believes that due to the popularity of these two plays, she will continue to bring more works and performances to the audience. But she chose to retire at the peak of her career, get married and have children, and come back to film many years later to become a working mother.
Juanzi, formerly known as Wang Huijuan, was born in the northeast, but her appearance has a feminine temperament of a southern woman.
1997 was admitted to Beiying and became classmates with Christina, Wen and others. Huang Lei is their professional teacher. Because of its outstanding appearance, it was also named as one of the "Nine Beauties of Northern Shadow".
The starting point of Juanzi is quite high. In his sophomore year, he was invited by the cast of Ghost Fox's fantasy drama "Mr. Liaozhai" to co-star with Zhang Tie-Lin, Wang Jinghua and others and play the role of "The Moon Palace Fairy Chang 'e" in the play.
Later, she appeared in many famous works, such as Fatal Encounter, The Journey to the West, Couple on the Wrong Bus, Women Are No Longer Silent, CEO and so on.
Juanzi in this period can be said to have reached the pinnacle of her career. One work after another, coupled with her natural acting skills and sweet appearance, is very popular with the audience.
However, after 2005, Juanzi gradually disappeared from the audience's sight, because she met her current husband, got married and had children, and then she stayed at home to teach her children and pressed the pause button for her career.
In recent years, Juanzi has returned to the film industry, because she has been in a weak circle for many years and has a certain age. In the ever-changing entertainment circle, she can only take mom-type plays.
Although she has obvious traces of time now, her temperament is more and more dignified and calm, and she can still see that she was a great beauty when she was young. The most striking ones are Queen Shen in Know No, Mrs. Han in Clouds, and Queen Yuan Qingyi in Dancing.
Her latest play is the mother of southern Hunan in Joe's Children. There are not many scenes, but only a few scenes still make people recognize her as an actress who once played the fairies of Biyou.
From playing a beautiful and smart girl to becoming a working mother, many viewers feel sorry for her and sacrificed their career for marriage. She once replied to this question on Weibo, saying that everyone has their own pursuit, as long as they don't waste time.
Perhaps for her, career success is far less important than marriage and family happiness. Seeing her sharing her life on social platforms, I feel that life is wonderful and she has obtained the happiness she wants.
Wang Xihua is known as the "First Sister of Rural Drama" in the industry, and has appeared in rural dramas such as Housewives, Women in Guanzhong, Women in Black Land and Wheat Entering the City. In these plays, she often plays a simple rural woman. Wang Xihua's performance and appearance make people feel that she is the aunt next door in the countryside.
Since Wang Xihua entered the entertainment circle, most of her characters are rural women, which makes her image as a peasant woman deeply rooted in people's hearts.
Although she plays the images of rural women, they are all a play, and each role is different.
Her most classic role should be Zhang Juxiang in The Housewife. In that year, the audience rating of the play exceeded 10%, and Wang Xihua won the 24th Flying Award for outstanding actress with this role, which became an instant hit.
Many viewers will find her rustic when they mention her, but Wang Xihua, when she was young, although she didn't surprise everyone's beauty, her appearance was very in line with the aesthetics of Chinese people.
Her face is round and full, with smooth lines, double eyelids, romantic eyebrows and eyes, high nose, dignified appearance and tall figure, which has the charm of mature women.
When she was young, she was not rustic. Even if she deliberately wears a headscarf and dresses up as a peasant woman, she has no peasant temperament. Wearing a military uniform is also cool.
In True and False in the Sky, she plays the concubine of a bodyguard. She has no rustic temperament at all, but flatters, and her every move is full of amorous feelings.
Although her acting skills are fluent and she is a powerful actor, she is also trapped in the "peasant woman image". Although she tried many times to transform, she still failed.
When she was young, she was changed because she was not famous. When she gained a certain fame and strength, the type of role she played has firmly trapped her.
However, she has survived now. It is also a kind of luck for the audience to think of the role of peasant woman immediately. And as she said, it is impossible not to play rural drama because of the soil. Someone has to play.
Salina is a female version of Dahongni, as if she had never been young. She began to play an older village woman in her twenties, and many viewers watched her grow up as a "rural woman".
Salina/Kloc-was admitted to Shanghai Theatre Academy at the age of 0/6. She is the youngest student in the class. When all her classmates were playing young girls and boys, she began to play the role of mother and eventually became famous by playing the role of mother.
She was only 40 years old when "Braving the Guandong" was filmed, but she looked beyond her age. In this play, she plays a determined mother. Although she had no children of her own at that time, she could fully interpret her kindness, courage, perseverance and wisdom. Her "mother" image is a rare classic in China's film and television.
Selina also won the Flying Award and the Golden Eagle Award for this role.
During her acting career, Salina played many simple images of peasant women. After Crossing the East, she turned to play the role of mother.
For example, the mother played in Peacock Flying Southeast, the foster mother played in Living with a Smile, the mother-in-law Zhan played in How the Daughter-in-law was tempered, the mainland mother played in Seven Nine Rivers, and the mother played in Ice Kun on Earth.
When I mention Selena, I always think that she is a kind old mother and has no impression of what she looked like when she was young.
Compared with the actress with delicate appearance and watery spirit, Salina was not outstanding in appearance when she was young, even a little old-fashioned, but she was dignified and elegant in appearance, with a bright and infectious smile.
In the entertainment circle where talented people and beautiful women came forth in large numbers at that time, Salina, who looked ordinary and slightly chubby, did not conform to the mainstream aesthetics at that time. After graduation, she faced a situation of six years without drama.
It was not until later that she began to recognize the situation. If she can't play the leading role, she will play the supporting role. If she can't play a slim beauty, she will play an ordinary person.
After finding the right way to play, Selina began to take the role of aunt, menstruation and mother.
Her image and delicate performance made her fit in with the characters in the play very well, and with these characters, she opened up the stage and eventually became famous and became a professional mother.
Sarina's exquisite and natural acting has already conquered the audience, who care more about her performance than her appearance.
Finally, I want to say that many middle-aged and old-aged actors in film and television dramas are all smash hit beauties when they are young. Years have taken away their beauty, and they are no longer the protagonists in the play.
But what's the harm? They don't cater to the current aesthetics, and they are not trapped in the beauty that they can't stay. But dare to face the fact that youth has passed away, reconcile with time, and always be the protagonist in your life.
At the right age, find the right role in the film and television drama, and bring high-quality performances to the audience as always. This is a really good actor.
