Wu Jing is a good actor and director.
When he was promoting the movie, he expressed that he didn't know a group and asked "Is it a boy or a girl?"
Fans of the group were relentless and demanded an apology.
Wu Jing ignored the requests of his fans. Not only that, teacher Chen Daoming also believed that it would be wrong if film and television dramas were always filled with such single characters.
Why do they say this?
What they worry about is the industry, not this group of people. As a kung fu star, Wu Jing's hardships are reflected in the "Wolf Warrior" series and in previous movies.
That kind of aesthetic had a certain influence at the time.
But as aesthetics became more widely known, Wu Jing’s aesthetics was no longer respected. Instead, a kind of aestheticism was promoted. Whether it was "Cute Doctor Sweet Wife" or "Three Lives, Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms", the people in them are all beautiful.
It's picturesque and pleasing to the eye.
Many people feel that after a tiring day, watching such a beautiful drama is both enjoyment and relief.
Human beings want to pursue beauty, whether it is beautiful people, beautiful things or delicious food.
There is nothing wrong with this either.
However, as an industry, this is a bit narrow.
"Crazy Stone" expresses black humor, while "Party A and Party B" is comedy.
"Country Love Story" is a rural theme and always belongs to the same category.
If film and television dramas are divided into categories, then why can't there be a tough guy category?
Why replace tough guys with fresh meat?
Wu Jing said, if we all use this as our aesthetic, then it is the director's fault.
When the director chose actors, he chose to use them.
When Wu Jing was making a movie, there were investors who said who should be chosen, and there was a lot of traffic.
But he insists on choosing only the right ones, not the expensive ones.
He used himself as an example to say that as a martial arts star, there is no way he would not be injured.
But what he wants to say is that a man should look like a man. Although it is necessary for small fresh meat to exist, it also depends on whether the personal temperament and the subject matter are suitable.
What he is more worried about is the development of this industry.
Someone who had similar ideas to him was teacher Chen Daoming.
As a member of the Artists Association, he pays more attention to the film and television drama industry.
He believes that if this phenomenon continues to flood the market, and everyone crazily squeezes this market in order to obtain short-term traffic, it will lead to the development of other types, and there will be fewer movies like "Eight Hundred".
If this continues, the development of the film and television industry will be even more difficult.
If this continues, especially today when short videos are prevalent and fragmented time becomes more and more common, people are addicted to their mobile phones and are no longer willing to go to cinemas to watch movies. In this case, internal competition will undoubtedly make things worse.
It is reasonable for them to be worried, but is it a bit too much to use such language to describe this type?
Existence is reasonable, and this is also a type. Some people say that this allows young people to imitate. For example, Yi Nengjing's son is well dressed, but his grandmother cannot accept it.
This can only be said to be a cognitive difference, not a problem of this type.
This type has existed before, for example, in film and television works, there were men dressing up as women. Andy Lau gave a wonderful performance in "Dark War". It cannot be said to be a classic, but it is also excellent.
Andy Lau, a well-known star and Jia Ling’s idol.
The fact that he can accept this role shows that he recognizes this role and has completed it well. Why should we look at this genre through colored glasses?
There are also such characters that have appeared in some works. Isn’t the Cheng Dieyi performed by my brother Leslie Cheung in "Farewell My Concubine" beautiful?
Although he is not a professional Peking Opera actor, every move he performs has charm.
Moving forward, there are also such roles in Peking Opera, including female roles.
Wouldn't it be good for the four famous Dancing Masters, Mei Lanfang, Cheng Yanqiu, Shang Xiaoyun, and Xun Huisheng, who we are familiar with, to sing, recite, and play?
Which one doesn’t shock everyone?
Peking Opera is the quintessence of our country. Who dares to say that this type of person is not good?
Although their style is somewhat feminine, they are not the kind of people we are familiar with. They can still become admirable stars.
Although many men wearing women's clothing appeared in the short video, some people made irresponsible remarks, who is this?
Everyone has the right to pursue beauty according to their own wishes.
Venus is more extreme, but no one can deprive her of her right to pursue beauty.
Those people may be doing it to gain traffic, or it may be a real hobby, but they are pursuing beauty.
What's wrong with this?
Will this kind of beauty mislead young people?
Everyone has something on their mind, even children.
Parents think that their claims can be ignored just because they are young, which is itself a kind of harm.
