The imbalance of domestic entertainment is obvious to all.

As for male celebrities, they can get involved in all kinds of weird tracks. When the domineering CEO becomes outdated, BKing takes over. When BKing ends, the warm-hearted guy takes over. When "her perspective" sweeps the entire industry, guess what?

It's hard to say whether the heroine is strong or not, but "the loser track is full of male stars" has become a scene in the domestic entertainment industry. Lei Jiayin, Guo Jingfei, and Bai Ke lead the "loser trio", followed by Qin Hao and Hu Ge. The top stars are weak in various ways under the background of "her power", but they are still so lovable, and their posture seems to say:

You guys go compete for the Iron Throne, and we'll wear aprons and cook.

Who still remembers the photo of Gao Zhiting that went viral, where he was waving a spatula in front of the gas stove in a rental house, which gave off a "damn husband vibe".

In contrast, "Time Never Defeates Beauty" is like a beautiful child.(laugh)When the wrinkles at the corners of the eyes of male celebrities in the domestic entertainment industry are attractive to a large number of people, the weight gain and sagging faces of female celebrities are becoming a topic of discussion.

The statement "female stars can only play mothers after the age of 30" does not have the relaxation and joking of "the track for losers is crowded with male stars". All it contains is the pitiful cynicism that only God can see.

Want to sue?

How can it be!

The strong don’t need to complain about the environment, the domestic entertainment “mom track” is still a beautiful scenery.

With them in the spotlight, who dares to say that mothers-in-law are just carrying sedan chairs with borders or carving flowers on shit? !

Breast-friendly

The breasts and thyroid glands of female audiences are still the responsibility of the same sex to clear or block them.

The most powerful assisting mother recently has to be mentioned in "If Running Is My Life"Xu DiThe role she plays is Xiufang, a 200-pound fat woman who runs a fried chicken shop. She is looked down upon by her daughter, an elite, but becomes the bridge that helps her daughter get out of the broken life of amputation. Xu Di is particularly suitable for this kind of mother who is always bluffing and laughing. She is a modern version of Wang Xifeng, who is always impetuous and can be heard before she is seen. What is even more amazing is that she can seamlessly switch between being broad-minded and shrewd. The plasticity is supported by her acting skills.Xu Di is a national first-class actor.

From another perspective, such a mother-in-law can drink and chat with her son-in-law, and make the young man obedient; she can also be a "troublemaker" and make the family restless. For example, Xu Di played the red-lipped and afro-haired Ms. Xue Zhenzhu in "My First Half of Life", a role that makes people feel mixed. She taught her daughter to ask for things from men and gamble on happiness with marriage, but when further questioning her short-sightedness, we have to sympathize with her as a woman in the family and marriage.

In Nothing But Thirty,Tian MinZhong Xiaoqin(Played by Mao Xiaotong)The mother is definitely the one who can heal the cowardly atmosphere in the whole play. The "best mother-in-law in history" is both wise and measured, not overstepping the boundaries and being considerate enough. Tian Min had already started to transform into a mother-in-law type role in 2009, and in "Xia Yan's Autumn" she worked with Zhao Liying and Yin Xiaotian.Tian Min is a national first-class actor.

In "Dear Child", Ms. Gao Caiping is also a character that makes people love and hate her. She is vulgar in her words and deeds. When her daughter-in-law gave birth, she stared at the placenta to nourish her little son; she stewed pig's trotter soup for her daughter-in-law so that "the mother is fat and the child is strong"; she was distracted by playing mahjong with her child and caused the baby carriage to slide out of control... She is not well educated, but she understands the principles of life. She is confused about small things but never vague about big things.Li Qinqin, who plays Gao Caiping, has almost monopolized the role of a sharp-tongued but kind-hearted mother-in-law in the domestic entertainment industry.And the character is so delicate that even the homogeneous little people in the city can be given different expressions, either fierce, or arrogant, or weak, or ignorant, all of which can be played by the characters.

The type that makes people angry to death

Recently, no one can escape the critical attack of Fang Xiewen and her son in "The Story of Rose". It turns out that even a fairy has to suffer the pain of marriage. Nine out of ten people around KK are so angry that they are on the verge of cerebral hemorrhage. The issue of whether to give birth painless has once again become a social event from a family matter. Modern medical technology is enough to reduce the pain of childbirth for women. Why are homosexuals so anxious to fight each other? Fang Xiewen's mother, who makes people's temples throb, is played by an actress calledXia Lixin is a national first-class actor.

Pan Guiyu, Fang Sijin's mother in "An Jia", is a typical vampire mother. She chased her daughter to her store to collect debts, named her "Fang Sijing", and even threw her into the well because she was a daughter. She is extremely patriarchal. The actor who plays Pan Guiyu is calledDing Jiali, actor of National Theatre of China.

In "Children of Qiao Family", the one who is more annoying than old man Qiao is the nanny Qu Aying. Knowing that Qiao Zuwang is easily influenced, she tried to occupy the ancestral house after Qiao Zuwang's death. After being discovered by Qiao Yicheng, she just threw a tantrum and became a deadbeat.The actress who plays Qu Aying is called Wang Lan. When she was young, she was called "the mainland's Joey Wong".

Sapiosexual Ceiling Type

In the domestic entertainment industry, there are fierce women from the market and noble ladies from high-class families. They are intellectual and wise, and sometimes they are as good as or even better than the young generation of Qingyi Huadan.

In "My Human Fireworks", Ms. Fu Wenying becomes the ideal "Internet Mommy". She accepts arranged marriages, manages her family with care, and personally enters the upper class to struggle and cultivate the next generation. She is a typical powerful woman with both inner and outer qualities.

Chen Jin, who plays Fu Wenying, is a first-class actress of the Air Force Repertory Theatre and is known as the Meryl Streep of China.(Aunt May in The Devil Wears Prada)Not only can she handle the role of a noble lady in a sapiosexual relationship, but she can also interpret the extremely twisted and controlling mother who is dissatisfied with the status quo in a way that makes people's hair stand on end, such as Zhao Meilan, Su Mingyu's mother in "All Is Well".

In addition to the mother-in-law, Chen Jin's other memorable roles in recent years include the elderly Ye Wenjie in "The Three-Body Problem", who carries the aura of a superior who is able to plan and strategize; and in the memories of children who watched TV, Chen Jin is even more so the intellectual teacher Nan Fang in "Campus Pioneer". If the Internet had been available at that time, Nan Fang would have been the "dream teacher" of a generation.

Pan Hong's role as Lu Wenting in the movie "Middle-Aged Man" made her the winner of the Golden Rooster Award in the 1980s.Since then, many roles she has played have been in tune with her temperament: she has the coldness and aloofness of an intellectual, and the firmness and tenacity of not succumbing to fate. This unique temperament also makes the mother-in-law role she plays form a two-level tension: if she is in tune with the protagonist, the protagonist will gain an all-round life mentor, such as Liao Kenan, the director of obstetrics and gynecology in "The Distance to Love". In addition to being Su Chun's mother, she is also the spiritual mother of a group of medical students. "There are many kinds of strength, and gentleness is the most firm" can almost be used as a life creed; if it happens that the role she plays stands on the opposite side of the protagonist, such as Zhang Wenqin, a highly educated mother-in-law in "When Mother-in-law Meets Mother", her skills and vision are far superior to the protagonist, and "I'm afraid that the evil people are educated" is embodied in countless moments.

Others who also have elite temperament includeShi Yueling, actor of National Theatre of China.The stunning performance of Hu Shangyi in the TV series "The Glory of the Ming Dynasty" is still fresh in people's memory. The reason why a good actor is a good actor is that she can handle roles that are completely different from her own temperament. For example, in "My Mother-in-Law is Here", Shi Yueling played the role of the rural sister-in-law of the protagonist Wang Chuanzhi, and portrayed the image of a timid rural woman to the core.

Traditional Philanthropy "Mother Earth" Type

What is most lacking on the screen of domestic dramas is all kinds of shrewd mothers and evil women, under the pretext of caring about reality. In KK's opinion, in a sense, the female competition between generations is deliberately magnified for the sake of dramatic conflict. The intention and method are not up to the standard. In the final analysis, it has not escaped the male gaze. The competition is to be "seen" by the patriarchal discourse.

Fortunately, there are still some works that firmly shape and respect the image of "Mother Earth"-type mothers, that is, they not only have the merit of nurturing life, but are also willing to make sacrifices and extremely wise, confirming the concept of our ancestors that "a good woman influences three generations of a family." They have the virtues of traditional women, as well as the limitations of the times. They are mothers and independent individuals.

for exampleChi PengFor example, Yu Baozhen, the mother in Yimeng, and Zhao Yinhua, the mother in Wenzhou Family;Mu Liyan, second-level actor of Guangxi Drama TroupeShe played Yang Zi's mother Hu Liushi in "The Battle of Changsha", a typical wife and mother, Nie Yuan's mother in "Dear Child"; Liu Sumin, the mother of Zhou Xun and Tang Yixin in "Xiao Min's Family", played byLiu Lili, graduated from the PLA Academy of Arts;In "Imperfect Victim", Zhou Xun's motherTao Huimin, national first-class actorAlthough Wang Manni's love and career storyline in "Nothing But Thirty" is infuriating, the family storyline is doubly healing because of Wu Mian's mother who has eyes full of her daughter.Wu Mian once won the Golden Lion Award for Drama.

The images of these "professional moms" on the screen are basically unified as the perfect type that possesses all the good qualities.

Who's afraid of who?

There is another type of mother-in-law character who is the epitome of the "mad woman in the attic": they are neurotic, emotional, hysterical or repressed and suffocated. In real life, they are the typical "crazy women" in the eyes of neighbors.

For example, in "The Beginning", Auntie Guo, who embarked on a journey of no return because her daughter was murdered, was played byLiu Dan is an actor at the National Theatre of China.For example, Alia, the mother of the scumbag Qin Feng in "If Running Is My Life", the fierce woman Zhang Rumei who refused to divorce in "Ordinary Road", and the mysterious Xuanmu in "The Mist of the Octagonal Pavilion". Probably because of her Mongolian ethnicity, Alia's unrestrained and bold minority collided with the mother-in-law race to create a wonderful spark, forming a natural recognition of "Don't mess with this old lady, she's blackmailing people". In the early years, Alia was more sassy and charming, see the cousin Bai Yufen in "The Mansion Gate".

Suffocate and don't breathe

In KK's opinion, this type of nagging character and the "crazy who's afraid of who type" together constitute the "Chinese crazy woman", the only difference is that the former is type E madness, while the latter is type I madness; the former goes crazy in bursts, coming and going quickly; the latter is almost endless and creepy.

For example, in "The Secret Corner", Chaoyang's mother suddenly appeared while he was taking a bath and reminded him to drink milk.Liu LinIn recent years, she has been seen more and more. The sister-in-law in "Parents' Love" and the lady in "Do You Know" are both vividly portrayed; Meng Mingwei, who is a dedicated person in "Fireworks Family" and does not forget to morally blackmail her daughter, is played byXu Fan, national first-class actor, actor of Beijing People's Art TheatreLi Yuanni in "Tangshan Earthquake" has been discussed for a long time: should she save her son or daughter?(scolded)Until now; in "If Running Is My Life", Xiu Li, who is always dying and depressed, is played byChen Xiaoyi is a national first-class actor and an actor of Beijing People's Art Theatre.

In "The Boy Who Can't See His Shadow", the performance of the mysterious mother Bian Meizhen, who waits for her son to finish school at the school gate, is amazing.Guo Keyu is the 17-year-old winner of the Hundred Flowers Award, is the value of spirituality and not relying on old capital.(kk added: Su Rong in "Sanyue Has a New Job" is also charming, cool, independent, and has personality)

There are so many excellent actresses in the domestic entertainment industry that it is obviously not comprehensive to sort them out by role type. In this glimpse, a generation of excellent actresses use their solid acting skills and absolute plasticity to support the unique and irreplaceable mother-in-law track.

There are so many similar characters, but they give their characters unique brilliance in their own way; they are no longer young, and there are very few "female lead roles" left for them on the screen, but even if they are just supporting roles, they still have the ability to make people unforgettable.

These actresses have created miracles in extending their artistic life by staying alive for a very long time.

They broke the anxiety of age. Who wasn't a beauty when they were young? However, beauty is the least worth mentioning for them:They are either national first-class actors; or they come from military art troupes; or they come from the People's Art Theatre or the National Theatre of China, and after being tempered on the stage of drama, they even won the "Golden Lion Award", the Oscar of the drama world; or they were crowned queens early on...

He has won all the awards he deserves, and the only reason he is still active on the screen should have nothing to do with material or honor, but only with love and pursuit.For them, "time never defeats beauty" is not a fairy tale or a joke, but the truth.
