In this program, three actresses in their thirties, Yang Rong, Wang Yuanke and Xi Lan, co-starred in a short film. Regardless of the content of the short film and the ranking of the three actresses, the three actresses expressed their opinions after receiving the comments from their tutors.
Among them, actor Yang Rong confessed his worries about his age. Although I am in my thirties, I can only struggle to maintain the design of girls. Obviously the audience and herself don't like it, but she still wants to play some girls' roles for fear of being eliminated by the market. As soon as mainland actresses are over 35 years old, it is difficult to receive the role of "age-appropriate". Yang Rong, 37, tearfully begged the producers to give more opportunities to actresses in their thirties and forties. The implication is that she doesn't want to play a girl either. But besides the girl, it is the girl's mother. Such a role is too embarrassing for an actress who is still in her prime.
Sebrina said in "Starry Speech" that "the middle-aged crisis has no drama to shoot", and Ma Yili, the conference of the film "Finding You", teased: "After 35 years old, the actress has no drama to shoot, and Sebrina and I are the best endorsements." Actually, this is not true. The limited roles suitable for older actresses in the Mainland are really taken over by Ma Yili. Other actors of the same age are really hopeless.
Not to mention 35 years old, even having a child can make an actress semi-unemployed. In "The Wife's Romantic Travel", Yinger revealed that she had no chance to film after giving birth to the child, so she was particularly frugal to support her family. So I came back to lose weight immediately after giving birth, and even rushed back to the crew to film the next day. In domestic dramas, the heroine has a vacuum of 35-45 years old, either playing a girl or an old woman, and there is no intermediate stage. I don't know who the mature female characters have provoked. It is clearly the protagonist who controls his own life, but he cannot be the protagonist on the stage.
40-year-old Zhou Xun's performance of Red Sorghum can still be praised as girlish. Four years later, her girlhood was rejected by some audiences, and she simply stopped watching the later age-appropriate dramas. No wonder the great power has always been determined by "girls", which is forced by the big environment of domestic dramas. The middle-aged crisis of female artists is such a cruel story all over the world. Madonna also criticized age discrimination: "As long as you reach a certain age, you can't shoot advertisements or be sexy. Seeing the rise of the "uncle circle" in China, middle-aged actors have become spring lovers again.
As an ordinary audience, we hope to see middle-aged actresses acting, to see them play roles of their own age, and to see them present their roles to the audience in combination with their rich life experiences. At first glance, comments and interactions are welcome.
