Generally refers to actors who are flashy, lack quality, have no soul, no vitality, etc.

This term comes from Chen Daoming’s speech at a symposium in 2021: “They are not from the literary and art world, they are from the traffic world, and they are plastic actors who have been packaged and hyped.”

Later, a People's Daily commentator quoted the term in the article "Filmmaking relies on cutting out pictures and reciting numbers in dialogues, and you will end up being a "plastic actor" sooner or later."

"Plastic actors" are created through packaging and hype. The promotion and packaging of entertainers is normal, but it completely ignores the duties of actors, deviates from the norms of the entertainment industry, and excessive packaging is really inappropriate; there is no original sin in traffic, and it is not advisable to put traffic first.

Some "plastic actors" lack basic acting skills and do not focus on improving their acting skills at all. In capital marketing, they rely on the abnormal "rice circle culture" to become top-notch and then swagger across the market.

What is even more incredible is that some "plastic actors" "rely on cutting out pictures and reciting numbers in dialogues", and their acting skills are so low that they break the bottom line. No matter how bad their acting skills are, "plastic actors" can still rely on capital and "rice circles" to compete in the entertainment industry and make money every day.

For some "plastic actors" who have no acting skills and no artistic ethics, what awaits them is inevitable.
