1905 movie network feature Douban 8.2 points!It set the highest score for a Chinese-language crime film in the past six years, and word-of-mouth helped its box office to reverse its decline from Friday to Sunday. It successfully exceeded 100 million yuan in its first week of release.
Among them, the role of Chen Guilin is widely praised. The hair is messy, the beard is unshaven, the former domineering president has changed his handsome image, the action drama punches to the flesh, the inner drama is delicate and moving, and the acting is very emotional.
From the rich young master Ji Cunxi in "I’m Destined to Love You" to the ruthless criminal Chen Guilin in "The Three Evils Removed in the Week", Ruan Jingtian’s changes over the years are enough to make him tear off the idol label on his body.
Ruan Jingtian was just a microcosm of the idol faction’s successful transformation.
In recent years, playing the "Invincible Shan Baomei" indifferent chef has become popular with the film and drama series "Detective Chinatown", which has shown cosmetic acting skills; with the role of "I May Not Love You" Li Daren, who has fascinated thousands of girls through the black humor film "Chirp", he has shown his comic talent; in a variety of idol dramas, he has been rolling for many years and is unwilling to be an actor, becoming the producer of the film and the producer of the series "The Lanterns".
The elite male gods and girls in distress who once dominated the screen in the idol dramas of Taiwan, China, are now turning around gorgeously.
masterpiece star making
In the early 2000s, the story concept of the Japanese manga drama "Spicy Teacher GTO" and the adolescent problem of "Spicy Fresh Master" officially opened the prelude to the dominance of Taiwanese idol dramas. In 2001, "Meteor Garden" broke the TV series rating record in Taiwan with an average rating of 6.99. Four years later, the record was broken by "Prince Turns Frog" with the highest average rating of 7.09; in 2008, "Fated to Love You" became the new viewing record holder with the highest average rating of 10.91; in 2011, "I May Not Love You", which won several blockbuster awards, set the final highlight of the puppet.
Looking back at the heyday of the Taiwan puppet, the drama of the overbearing president falling in love with Cinderella took turns. "Green Forest", "Next Stop Happiness", "Smile Pasta", "Shepherd’s Star", "Invincible Shan Baomei", "The Ultimate Class" series were all the rage, affecting the youthful growth of a generation.,, Ruan Jingtian, Chen Bolin, Qiu Ze,,,,, and so on all got the light of the Taiwan puppet and became the new generation of artists in Taiwan who were highly sought after at that time.
The driving force behind "Prince Becomes a Frog" and "I’m Destined to Love You", known as the godmother of idol dramas in Taiwan, said of Taiwan puppet production that when filming in Taiwan, you know which channel to broadcast on at the beginning, "because the platform has already been set, and the artist will be braver. As long as the script is good, the newcomer can have a good chance." She admitted that the idol drama does not have to rely on the cast, but on the well-polished script. Taiwan TV stations will evaluate the popularity and future of the newcomer, and are willing to let the newcomer play a good role. The producer finalizes the actor according to the role fit, and after knowing who is the protagonist, it will help him make it more attractive.
According to public data, the average annual production of Taiwan puppets at its peak exceeded 100. From 2004 to 2013, the mainland imported an average of 16.3 Taiwan dramas per year, accounting for 19.7% of all imported dramas. This means that it is not an accident that Taiwan puppets make stars. Rich performance opportunities and broad development space, coupled with ingenious characters and characters, have allowed a large number of newcomers to emerge and even become famous all over Asia. They have eaten up the dividends of their characters and have high popularity. They are undoubtedly the darlings of Taiwan puppets in their glorious era.
However, with the decline of the puppet, how to adjust the track or achieve transformation has become a problem that the idols have to face.
Because the star "Star Picking" entered the entertainment industry as early as 2004, he chose to go north to develop. Before that, he had shot 7 Taiwan dolls such as "Dolphin Bay Lovers", "West Street Youth" and "Thousand Gold Percent" within a year, and he belonged to a place in the idol circle in Taiwan. After coming to the mainland, he has successively obtained different types of performance opportunities such as "Legend of Immortals and Swords 3" and "New One Cut Plum", creating a new career peak and becoming a pioneer for Taiwanese idol actors to successfully move to the mainland.
Around 2011, on the one hand, the homogenization of the subject matter caused the audience’s aesthetic fatigue, and on the other hand, due to the impact of film and television works in the surrounding areas and the impact of brain drain, Taiwan puppet faced internal and external troubles, and its difficulties became increasingly prominent. A large number of film and television practitioners in Taiwan embarked on Huo Jianhua’s journey and went north to explore new paths.
The co-directed "Love Awakens" by two Taiwanese directors Shen Yi ("The Wedding Dress of the Kingdom of Heaven" and "Shepherd’s Star") and ("The Third Part of Huanzhu Gege" and "New Huanzhu Gege") helped Qiu Ze gain popularity in the mainland; "Bad Smile Flower" director Zhang Boyu’s "The Price of Winning Women" starred Chen Jon, and Mingdao Studio participated in the production… Whether in front of the stage or behind the scenes, the former puppet creators are trying their best to re-explore their position in the mainland.
In addition to the series, there are also representatives who have moved to the film industry.
Through the "Love White Paper", Ruan Jingtian made his debut with a large number of fans; after winning awards and recognition for his action movie "Monga", he bravely went to the mainland to shoot and other works; he has participated in other Hong Kong-made films; and has also received more attention through such works.
Although many actors have also returned to Taiwan to continue filming idol dramas during the process of adjusting the track or achieving transformation. But whether they move to the mainland or stay in China, whether they focus on the small screen or the big screen, it is not difficult to see that they have always been committed to getting rid of a single type of performance and boldly exploring diverse development possibilities.
Deepening Transformation
Nowadays, it has been more than a decade since Taiwan puppet highlights were lost, and Chinese Taiwanese idol actors have also undergone a reshuffle.
Returning to the family, Liwilliam,, is in a semi-retired state, Wang Xinling, and Chen Qiaoen have appeared in variety shows or live broadcasts, Zhou Yumin, and Zheng Yuanchang have difficulty setting off water, and Ming Dao and Zhang Dongliang have bluntly stated that there is no drama to shoot, so they can only seek exposure opportunities through "Actors Please Take Place" and "Infinite Beyond Class 2".
Faced with the growth of age and the impact of younger generations, almost every Taiwanese actor who has a Taiwanese puppet as a "pension insurance" will eventually be unable to escape the fate of being swept away. Compared with Yan Chengxu’s controversial performance as a domineering president in "Summer Flower" at an "advanced age", the development space of Taiwanese puppet actors who resolutely take the road of transformation to the end is obviously broader.
In the role of illegal intermediary Lin Yousheng in "Pursuit" and ruthless criminal Chen Guilin in "Three Evils in the Week", Ruan Jingtian’s role in recent years is not only sloppy and rugged in appearance, but also complex in character core. Lin Yousheng is doing illegal activities while having good intentions and loving his girlfriend deeply; Chen Guilin seems ruthless, but in the process of re-finding the value of life, he is also trying his best to save innocent people. Ruan Jingtian plays these two roles very layered.
In an interview with 1905 Film Network, he said that the movie roles he encountered in the past year or two seemed to be echoes of past life stages, forcing him to face the loneliness and weakness he once had. Each role is a new challenge, and he "forced" himself to continue to improve.
Having played a gangster who is not doing his job properly, and a father with intellectual disability in "The Best Meeting", coupled with the successful portrayal of the taciturn and thoughtful Lin Mo in the online drama "Detective Chinatown" series, Qiu Ze has successfully shown more profound performance skills in recent years, and has taken a big step on the road of transformation;
In addition, Hua Tuo in "The Next Stop of Happiness" turned into a hard-working mute in "Fudu Youth", and Wu Dianren, who did not have a single line throughout the process, performed a reborn performance; from the exquisite white-collar worker in "I May Not Love You" to the funny black police officer with long hair tied in "Chirp", Chen Bolin also showed new possibilities as an actor.
In terms of actresses, Zhang Junjun and Lin Xinru have both become more behind-the-scenes creators. The former handed over the first production of "Hunted" last year, while the latter created the series "The Lanterns Are First Up" as producers.
After Zhang Junjun’s highly contrasting performance experience in works such as "The Best Encounter", many people have forgotten her early experience as a cameo in "Meteor Garden 2".
For a long time, it has been revolving around ancient costume romance dramas and modern idol dramas, and in recent years, it has also made people’s eyes shine through "Our Distance from Evil" and "Her and Her."
Represented by "The Distance Between Us and Evil" and "The Algorithm of Justice", the rejuvenated Taiwan drama has been freed from the shackles of the subject matter, the types have become diverse, and the core has become more profound; represented by "When a Man Falls in Love", "Fudu Youth" and "Removing the Three Harmies in the Week", Taiwanese films have continuously strengthened cooperation with creative forces such as Hong Kong and Malaysia.
The important position of the Chinese film and television circle is showing a trend of a hundred flowers blooming, objectively providing rich opportunities for the transformation of idol actors.
The idol factions that once dominated the screen are now turning around gorgeously, which is undoubtedly an excellent transformation for the Chinese film and television industry. I believe that their acting skills are becoming more and more perfect, and they will continue to become the backbone of the Chinese film and television industry in the future, handing over more excellent film and television works.
