Original title: Art film is not gold-plated film

The actress Yang Mi has become one of the most commercially valuable actors in China because she is the first fan movie in the mainland. However, in line with her increasing popularity, there is also an embarrassing situation, that is, her performance skills have been criticized.

However, recently, there was a news that suddenly raised a glimmer of hope. The film Baby, which was supervised by Hou Xiaoxian and directed by Liu Jie, starred Yang Mi and was shortlisted for the special screening unit of the Toronto International Film Festival in Canada. Although it is a special exhibition unit, it has made great progress compared with some "pheasant" film festivals she participated in before. What's more, Hou Xiaoxian, a master of Chinese literary and artistic films, supervised the production, and Liu Jie, a director who once won the prize at the Venice Film Festival with The Court on Horseback, directed it.

This kind of low profile literary and artistic film, which does not earn money and has no influence, was almost isolated from Yang Mi in the past, not to mention throwing off the burden of idols to play ugly in the play. For Yang Mi, who is hot at the moment, making such a decision will not only delay many opportunities to make money, but may also lose her popularity because of her ugliness. But it is also true that Yang Mi is worried about her acting skills and hopes to turn the situation around.

In fact, once upon a time, Yang Mi was also able to act. She played Guo Xiang in the new version of Condor Heroes, which was popular with the audience because of her aura. Just because he became famous in the TV drama Palace, too many opportunities came up, and none of them would give up. It would be benevolent and righteous not to be stingy in performance, and naturally there was no time to think about the role carefully.

Performing requires talent, but this talent also needs polishing and maintenance. Otherwise, it can only "hurt Zhongyong" and become "devoid of all people". As Li Shaohong, the director who once discovered Yang Mi, said, "Yang Mi's biggest problem is that she was too accustomed to acting when she was young, and she subconsciously went to program performance. Happiness is hahaha, pain is wahaha, but her brain, so that when she finally thought about her brain, she didn't know how to go."

Now, it is good for Yang Mi to devote valuable time to performing literary films, but this is far from enough. Many business stars are willing to do some non-commercial work to prove their original intention after they become famous. Performing literary and artistic films in the film and television circle is like gilding. Performing literary and artistic films has the possibility of winning awards, which can make your star status more valuable.

However, art films are not gilded films. It is not enough just to do them, but also to be able to do them well. As far as Yang Mi's performance in the film is concerned, she has made little progress in performance. Other actors in the same film can show her weakness in performance with one expression and one look. Just like crabs from other places do not become Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs just because they have a dip in Yangcheng Lake, they cannot directly gild their acting skills even if they perform in literary films.

Literary films can't save Yang Mi's acting skills. She is the only one who can save her. In fact, whether it is a commercial film or an art film, for actors, the foundation of standing is acting skills. You don't need to deliberately gild yourself with art films. The true gold content needs to be improved from the inside, which is worthy of fans who pay for high film salaries. Of course, it is worth affirming that Yang Mi has made a good start for herself, and we expect her to make more efforts.
