The most typical example should be Sun Li. Sun Li has starred in TV dramas that can be called the conscience of the industry, whether it is the early "Jade Goddess of Mercy", "Auntie Duohe", or the recent "Legend of Concubine Zhenhuan", "Legend of the Sheep and the Moon". Sun Li's characterization is obvious, full of emotion, especially the complexity of the character's growth in the various stages of the gradual progression of emotions Sun Li pinpointed very well.

But on the contrary, Sun Li's movie works and Zheng Zhongji's "The Box of Light", and Deng Chao's "The Painted Wall" and "Evil Angel" not only lost at the box office, but the Douban rating is also extremely low. On the contrary, the most typical is Zhou Dongyu, Golden Horse Award actress first starred in the drama heroine without the roadside edge not to mention the strength of the actress did not reflect. But Zhou Dongyu's performance in the movie really killed a number of 80-year-old flow small flowers.

In summary, the movie is more reflective of an actor's state and potential, in less than two hours to interpret a person's birth and old age, the source of conflict, emotional changes, the actor often need to be in the same day to reflect a different state of mind, and the director will have a higher demand for actors. In the shooting of "2046", Wong Kar-wai once said that Zhang Ziyi played the white spirit, a smile contains a number of complex emotions, in Wong Kar-wai's constant demand, Zhang Ziyi did, Wong Kar-wai was very excited to say a "bull", in short, the movie on the actor's requirements will be a little higher.

While the TV is relatively life-like, the shooting cycle is also longer, especially the main man and woman more face, the actor can according to the progress of the shooting constantly adjust their own. Personally, I think the great thing about movie actors is that they contain the vicissitudes of the entire era behind them, while TV dramas are more about the ups and downs of a person's life.
