The two names Zhang Ailing and Xu Anhua are added together, and there is no sense of contradiction at all. One is moist and gloomy text, and the other is a delicate and affectionate image expression. “The First Incense” was finally released. With the controversy about casting and acting, the box office and word of mouth were not satisfactory.
“The First Furnace of Incense” has become “The First Furnace of Steel”, starring Ma Sichun and Peng Yuyan’s figures, which are the focus of fans’ complaints. In their eyes, Ge Weilong and Qiao Qiqiao should look like Zhou Xun and Chen Kun when they were young. Only in this way can we show the entangled love. As for Ma Sichun’s image in the public eye over the past few years, it is difficult for the audience to associate her with the Shanghai woman set in the original work, and Peng Yuyan’s tendon is difficult to match the pale and gloomy temperament of the character.
The casting is overturned! The audience walked into the theater wearing colored glasses, unsurprisingly confirming their guess. It seems that the car overturned quite thoroughly. The difficulty of adapting a masterpiece is that everyone has an understanding and expectation of the characters in everyone’s mind. When Xu Anhua brought a luxurious lineup to shoot a work that disappointed everyone, this time everyone focused on the actors.
Ma Sichun was a good actor in her early years, her performances were natural and proficient. “Left Ear” and “July and Ansheng” established her performance temperament in pain literature, and she showed another handsome temperament in “The Generals”. I never imagined that I fell severely under the leadership of the big director this time and was selected by Xu Anhua. Is it lucky or unfortunate?
If it were Ma Sichun in the early years, I think she can completely control this role. However, in recent years, her image in the public has gradually faded away from being young and beautiful. This has become a vicious closed loop in her acting career. Everyone thinks that you are not worthy of being a heroine, but you are under a lot of pressure. As Xu Anhua said in an interview: “I was moved by the performance in “July and Ansheng” and felt that she could play Ge Weilong’s love. From the news of the casting, she was scolded all the way, under tremendous pressure and mental state. No, I have been suffering from insomnia in the crew. I was in a trance while filming during the day, and my performance was quite satisfactory. I finally came out like this. “It’s weird to be able to perform well in this way.
Therefore, it is not so much a casting rollover, as it is an acting rollover. Xiao Ma posted her impression of “The First Incense” on Weibo-“Love is not the humbleness of one person, but the bravery of two people”. You find that her understanding of the role is completely wrong. As the lead actor of this play, she did not study the text in depth, and did not merge with the soul of the characters, so she presented Ge Weilong according to “love requires bravery”, aside from the image inconsistency, and the character process does not match, because Ge Weilong is not Love the brain, she is soberly deceived, she wants a flashy life.
This reminds me of the self-cultivation of actors. Every year there are news that a certain star has dropped out of school. Art academies originally have low requirements for cultural courses. Some of them barely pass the entrance exam but are not good enough. If you want to come to professional courses, they will teach script analysis. This kind of experience, but look at the dramas performed by the stars during college. There are so many works that you suspect that they didn’t take a few classes, and even the news of delayed graduation. Obviously, some young and famous actors who only went to college and were plated with gold, they can only play the silly white sweet script of you love me and I love you. They don’t understand if you write complicatedly!
The misunderstanding of Zhang Ailing’s role in “The First Incense” includes not only Ma Sichun’s Ge Weilong, but also Yu Feihong’s aunt. As soon as the movie came out, she was praised for her: the beauty is over! But is Zhang Ailing’s aunt beautiful? It’s old age! In the original book, Mrs. Liang needs young women to seduce men. The well-maintained Yu Feihong has a variety of styles. In the film, she needs the role played by Ma Sichun to help her seduce men. This is tantamount to squeezing her head into the audience, but it turns out that she can play at any time. Ma Sichun couldn’t handle the aging Mrs. Liang’s charm and charm. I don’t know if this situation is the director’s deviation or the actor’s idea?
Zhang Ailing’s novels and stories are extremely strong. For the director, it is not difficult to present, for fear that it will swing between business and original intentions and become a nondescript slot. In the casting of the pot this time, in fact, what really overturned was acting!
