recently, the suspenseful spy drama "dark night and dawn" starring chen zheyuan, nie yuan and others was broadcast.

from the beginning of the show to now, the performance of the lead actor chen zheyuan has always been a hot topic among the audience.

among them, his switch to shooting spy war themes reminded everyone of zeng shunxi, who was also questioned by netizens as a resource-rich actor. his performance in the recently aired spy war drama "lonely boat" also sparked heated discussions among the audience, and many viewers even compared the two's performances in various aspects in the two dramas.

at the same time, everyone started a discussion about who would be better in acting and future development between chen zheyuan and zeng shunxi.

01

the spy war was played like an idol drama, and was crushed by the acting skills of veteran actors?

the tv series "darkness and dawn" tells the story of the first generation of public security fighters in shanghai around 1950 fighting against chiang kai-shek's spies who attempted to subvert the new china. the story revolves around a young policeman from the old era (played by chen zheyuan) who has a high iq but was unsuccessful in the old society, and who reformed and grew up in the new china, and an experienced old ccp agent (played by nie yuan) who teamed up to form a partnership.

among them, chen zheyuan plays the leading role in the play. he plays lin shaobai, a policeman of the old era. the audience discussed chen zheyuan's appearance and acting skills.

in terms of chen zheyuan's makeup, some viewers think that his appearance in the play is too greasy and powdered, which does not fit the atmosphere of an anti-spy war drama.

his makeup was criticized by the audience. many people thought that chen zheyuan's makeup was too delicate and looked like stage makeup. this look showed that chen zheyuan had too heavy an idol burden. this drama was an anti-spy film, and it was not appropriate to dress so delicately in the context of a spy war.

some netizens even questioned whether chen zheyuan might have had cosmetic surgery on his face, and his "pouty lips" made him look out of place compared with the other actors in the whole drama.

in addition, in terms of acting skills, the audience believes that chen zheyuan is not delicate enough in handling some emotional scenes, which may affect the tone of the entire drama.

many viewers believe that chen zheyuan’s acting skills need to be improved, especially when acting opposite veteran actors, he seems a little overwhelmed.

in a simple eating scene in the play, chen zheyuan's performance was a bit unnatural, while nie yuan's performance was very down-to-earth. it looked like "one was really eating, and the other was pretending to eat", which was quite disjunct.

many netizens said that in order to gain traffic, this drama continued the currently popular lineup model of traffic stars + middle-aged male actors + veteran actors, but it would be unreasonable for the best actors to encounter a not-so-good script.

for example, one of the stealing scenes in the play is very stupid. lin shaobai, played by chen zheyuan, and xu wei, played by sun yan, steal things together in the police station and escape while their superiors are still there. the audience thinks that this scene is illogical.

the audience has strong opinions about the lineup of traffic and powerful veteran actors. "lonely boat" starring zeng shunxi also encountered the same problem. even with the addition of zhang songwen and zhang fengyi, it could not save the quality of this drama.

the plot arrangement at the beginning of the first episode aroused doubts from the audience, who called it "extremely sloppy" and said that the rescue operation, which should have been extremely dangerous, was treated as casually as if it was just playing house.

even the audience can consider the preparations before the rescue, the emergencies during the rescue, and the handling of the situation after the rescue, but these are ignored by experienced screenwriters.

however, some viewers praised chen zheyuan's performance after watching "darkness and dawn".

they believe that chen zheyuan's handling of some comedy plots in the play can bring some joy and a relaxing atmosphere to the audience.

some viewers also think that compared with actors of the same age group, chen zheyuan's performance in the drama is remarkable and he interprets the character's characteristics quite well.

the role played by zeng shunxi in "lonely boat" has also been controversial.

many viewers believe that zeng shunxi still has a lot of room for improvement. his first attempt at a spy war drama drew dissatisfaction from the audience with his acting skills. as the leading male role, he was questioned whether he could carry the responsibility and could keep up with zhang songwen's performance.

some viewers commented that the male protagonist could only blink his big, innocent eyes when he was going to the execution ground, meeting the second female lead, and negotiating with his father.

when confronting the japanese, he may have intended to show contempt and arrogance, but the audience said that zeng shunxi just stared blankly, his momentum obviously lacking, and he had the childish air of a child pretending to be an adult.

some people also think that zeng shunxi’s performance in some clips was very natural, he brought a young scholar to life and portrayed the character’s personality well.

at present, chen zheyuan and zeng shunxi both have very good resources, and have played the leading male role in many film and television dramas that have been filmed and broadcast. this has also been questioned by many netizens as "resource-rich".

02

is he the chosen "peach prince" or the confirmed "resource guy"?

chen zheyuan and zeng shunxi are both outstanding male actors born after 1995, so their development has attracted the attention of many people.

in recent years, chen zheyuan signed a contract with guoran entertainment, a subsidiary of iqiyi, while zeng shunxi signed a contract with chaoyue xiangshang. in addition, many of the film and television dramas in which the two starred were broadcast on iqiyi, so they were also labeled as "peach prince" and were suspected of being resource-rich.

in 2015, chen zheyuan participated in the recording of iqiyi's idol development reality show "king of pop" and entered the public eye; since then, chen zheyuan's light science fiction romantic love comedy "dear living ancestor", the web drama "detective chinatown", the love comedy "my villain boyfriend", the fairy tale drama "legend of sword and fairy iv" and others have all been broadcast on iqiyi.

but without exception, these dramas were not well performed. his role in "detective chinatown" was even questioned as a forcibly added supporting role, and the dispute over his ranking in "chinese paladin iv" with ju jingyi also caused a lot of controversy.

in fact, chen zheyuan has very good resources. he even plays the male lead in tv series on other platforms, such as "the secret in the dark" and "can't hide", and most of these tv series are ip productions, which helps his traffic continue to increase.

since his debut, chen zheyuan has been questioned because of his excellent resources. netizens have found out that the rankings of the tv series and movies he has filmed are almost all relatively high, and many of them are ranked second or below.

most of chen zheyuan's partners have a certain degree of fame, but chen zheyuan has never become a big hit.

recently, he seemed to respond to the controversy about resource-rich people in a program, saying that he had been waiting to become famous for eight years and was the peach prince, and made some self-deprecating remarks.

zeng shunxi was also criticized for similar issues. he was born into a wealthy family and had good resources when he was in black gold company in his early years. later, after the contract was terminated, he also got a share of iqiyi.

he began to gain attention from "ultimate notes", then became popular with "lotus tower", made a guest appearance in "cloud feather", and later "tian geng ji" and "lonely boat", all of which were broadcast on iqiyi.

the upcoming dramas "linjiangxian", "yunxiuxing" and "seven nights of snow" also come from the iqiyi platform.

the surge in resources for chen zheyuan and zeng shunxi, coupled with the support of many talented actors as partners, has led netizens to suspect that the producers are trying to promote these resourceful actors.

the reason is that although the platform has given them many opportunities to increase their popularity, they have not made any big splash, which is why they have been questioned as "prince peach, resource-rich people".

03

what should they do to transform from idol drama themes?

as 95's young actors, chen zheyuan and zeng shunxi seem to prefer idol-type roles. they may need to try more diverse roles.

among the dramas that chen zheyuan has starred in, whether it is the costume dramas "the twins" and "the legend of sword and fairy iv", or the youth idol dramas "my villain boyfriend" and "can't hide", they are all idol drama styles. he is the type of pretty boy in the eyes of the public. he is handsome, but not very recognizable.

the roles in the upcoming dramas "white olive tree" and "a smile and a song" are different, and it can be seen that he wants to try tough guy roles, but they are all idol drama styles, and he has not completely jumped out of his comfort zone. perhaps this has also affected chen zheyuan's transformation in spy war types such as "dark night and dawn".

netizens believe that if he wants to make a bigger breakthrough in his acting career, he needs to try more different types of roles and broaden his acting range.

zeng shunxi also has the same problem. even though the drama "lotus tower" in which he starred became a hit, there are too many of his roles that are similar to fang duobing in "lotus tower".

he has played many modern and ancient idol roles, but there is not much difference between them. it may be because zeng shunxi has big eyes and looks harmless, which makes him very suitable for roles like happy puppy, so many of the roles he has played have become somewhat homogenized.

therefore, netizens believe that zeng shunxi should also focus on his own future development and find more routes, rather than just confining himself to a comfort zone.

in short, competition in today's film and television industry is becoming increasingly fierce, and audiences' tastes in watching dramas are constantly changing, so actors cannot stand still.

chen zheyuan and zeng shunxi both tried new spy themes and challenged themselves, but so far the results have been limited and they have not been recognized by the audience. they still need to highlight their own characteristics and advantages among many actors and improve their competitiveness, rather than relying on resources to stand out.
