Recently, 36-year-old Zhao Liying has become popular again, mainly because she played the mother of the deaf-mute in Zhang Yimou's Spring Festival festival Article 20, and some clips have attracted a lot of attention.
Zhao Liying plays a deaf-mute mother in the film, and her image is also extremely simple, which is very different from the role she played in the past. She can see that she is acting almost without makeup and dressing up without "idol" baggage. Zhao Liying is seriously trying to get rid of the ranks of "traffic stars".
Although the outflow of the clip is only a few dozen seconds, Zhao Liying has been recognized by many netizens both in terms of external image and expressiveness in the film. Although it is only the role of female No. 3, Article 20 is Zhang Yimou's work.
Although Zhao Liying is a popular star in the entertainment industry, she used to be in the television circle, and this time she can enter the mainstream film industry, even the role of female No. 3 is a big step forward for her career.
Zhang Yimou praised Zhao Liying, saying that she had broken through her ceiling and could not speak for hours on the set, just to figure out the character's state.
The rival actor even said that Zhao Liying was in such a good state of acting that he was afraid that he was not worthy of her play.
I have to say, in today's popular entertainment industry, Zhao Liying is very good at choosing the right path for herself. In the entertainment industry, like Zhao Liying, there are many people who rely on the popularity of "idol dramas", but many people have been circling around, playing young girls in "ancient puppet dramas" or "idol dramas".
For example, 31-year-old Yang Zi recently starred in "High School students" in the new drama "long Love". Partner Fan Chengcheng, who is 8 years younger.
Like Zhao Liying, Yang Zi became a top actress in her early years with several idol dramas. On the recent night of Weibo, Yang Zi sat next to Yang Mi and Zhang Xiaofei, which shows that although she is not the "85 flowers", she has a high status in the entertainment industry.
However, although Yang Zi's acting skills are highly recognized, the state of her face in "long Love" is controversial. Although dressed as a student, the 31-year-old Yang Zi's face has become swollen and stiff, especially the nose mountain root is very abrupt, the human is a bit long, it looks far from the smart nature of "high school students".
Not only that, some of Yang Zi's tidbits in Jia Ling's "Hot and Hot" also came out. Yang Zi in the tidbits also did not use Fandai, but exposed the true state of her face, which was not even as good as that of actresses of the same age.
Although Yang Zi's acting skills are highly recognized, she does not seem to have the idea of transformation. The TV dramas starred in recent years are basically idol dramas, such as "long Acacia" and "Please give more advice for the rest of my Life" and so on.
Let's take a look at 85 Flowers. 37-year-old Liu Shishi is still spinning in "Idol Drama." his works in recent years include "Dear myself", "Golden years", "one thought Guan Shan" and so on. "one thought Guan Shan" has also attracted a lot of attention. Liu Shishi also sat in the second row next to position C on Weibo night, next to Hu GE.
Also 37, Yang Mi experienced the "cold and warm" of the entertainment industry on Weibo night. she, who has always occupied the C position in Vanity Fair, is sitting in the side seat with Zhang Xiaofei. Compared with Tang Yan and Liu Shishi, who are sitting next to Hu GE, Yang Mi's "gap" can be imagined.
As a matter of fact, Yang Mi has also tried to make a transformation. as early as 2018, Yang Mi played "Mother" in the movie "Baby" and was also a disabled girl. In this film, it is also the first time that Yang Mi put aside her "idol baggage" and not only appeared without makeup, but also painted her skin black.
But unfortunately, the response of "baby" was mediocre and did not allow Yang Mi to make a successful transformation. It can be seen that after that, Yang Mi returned to the circle of "Idol Drama", starring in "Building Dream Love", "Mrs. Dendrobium", "the eight laws of Love" and so on.
But like Yang Zi, Yang Mi's beauty in her youth is among the best in the entertainment industry, but she can't escape the traces of time, and her role in "Brotherhood" in "the Law of Love" is no longer convincing.
Although Zhao Liying also became famous by virtue of "idol drama", her traffic is no less than Yang Mi Yang Zi, but as early as 2022, Zhao Liying began to take the route of "Da Tsing Yi". First, she starred in "Happiness to Wanjia" and "the Wind blows Banxia", and now there are "20th" and "Sauce Garden". It can be said that she has gone farther and farther along the road of "actors".
One of the biggest differences between Zhao Liying and other traffic celebrities is that although she has a lot of traffic, she seldom attends various "vanity fairs". For example, she was absent at this year's Weibo night.
Every large-scale Vanity Fair in the entertainment industry is a gathering of top-tier actresses in the entertainment circle, and the same frame of 85 flowers is one of the famous scenes, but Zhao Liying is an exception and is often absent.
Zhao Liying has the nickname of "Zhao orphan" in the outside world, teasing her that she is "unsociable". In fact, it is not that she is "unsociable", but that she knows which way she wants to go.
At a time when "girl education" was popular in the entertainment industry, Zhao Liying began to "act as a mother" before she was 40. In fact, this is what the audience would like to see. As Hao Lei said, they should act at what age. If you are still playing a girl in your 40s, what do you want a real girl to do?
It's just that not everyone understands this truth.
