In recent years, great changes have taken place in the entertainment industry, with old actors gradually fading out of the screen, while some flow stars have become popular. This raises questions about the balance between acting and popularity. As audiences grow tired of shoddy, poorly acted films and television, some respected veterans find themselves marginalized.
1. Zhang Tong: excellent acting skills but can not be shortlisted for the Magnolia Award
Zhang Tong, a name not well known to the public, was deeply impressed by his excellent performances in "shining Sword" and "the Age of Awakening". Although his acting skills were so recognized that he even stood out in the 2018 Flying Apsaras Award and won the Outstanding Actor Award, his talent failed to make him a member of the Magnolia Award. Zhang Tong's excellent acting skills seem to have become unpopular in the entertainment industry, and lack of resources has become his dilemma.
2. Pu Cunxin: excellent acting skills but no one cares about them.
Pu Cunxin was Sun ce in the Romance of the three Kingdoms. His acting skills are well recognized, especially in the field of drama. However, Pu Cunxin's acting career has been hit repeatedly. The misfortune of his family led him to withdraw from show business temporarily, but his return did not come true. His mother's Alzheimer's disease made him leave work again, and his long retirement made Pu Cunxin face the awkward situation of having nothing to play, even if he was an actor of acting.
3. He Zhengjun: the low-key "Zhao Gang" that almost no one knows about.
He Zhengjun has attracted a lot of attention for his role as political Commissar Zhao in Bright Sword, but his appearance has become rare since the show. Compared with other old actors, he Zhengjun's film is not bad, but he can only be a foil to the new generation of actors. The old actor, who has a good reputation for his acting skills, is now gradually fading out of the audience's sight.
4. Feng Yuanzheng: he was banned because his acting skill was too good.
Feng Yuanzheng attracted attention for his excellent performance in Don't talk to strangers, but as time went on, he found himself gradually excluded. His superb acting skills have won him the Golden Rooster Award in a number of works, but in the current market demand in the entertainment industry, he finds himself less and less in front of the screen. Feng Yuanzheng once said in an interview that the market demand is for traffic rather than acting, which makes people feel deeply about the current situation of the entertainment industry.
5. Li Baotian: he was "banned" for adhering to the principle.
Li Baotian is an actor who has made a deep impression in costume dramas, and his acting skills are well recognized. However, his encounter of being banned by the entertainment industry for sticking to his principles has aroused concern. During the shooting of a play, he clashed with the producer because he was dissatisfied that the script was involved in "water injection", but was banned. This made the audience see the sadness of an actor losing the stage because of his principles.
6. Liu Yijun: a late bloomer has an indifferent attitude
Liu Yijun, a late bloomer, began to take part in acting before the millennium, but he never became popular. After 10 years of hard work, he was finally recognized in 2015 for his outstanding performance in camouflage and Nirvana in Fire. However, although he is now more popular, he still can only play a supporting role in some works. Liu Yijun's attitude towards acting has become indifferent, but the fate of the old actor still makes people feel sad.
