On the one hand, the 30-year-old sisters changed the runway, sang and danced in a female group, and temporarily left behind the "middle-aged actress crisis" that once caused waves; On the other side are Mesozoic actors born after 70, who have entered the online drama market one after another and made a splash.

Because of the constant hot searches and topics such as "Hidden Corner", "Qin Hao will take you to climb the mountain" and "Zhang Songwen’s performance is worth buying a suite", Qin Hao and Zhang Songwen’s character draft and interview draft are also one after another, and they are becoming popular.

Looking back at the online drama market in recent years, the mode of "new traffic+big IP" has gradually ebbed, and middle-aged actors have provoked the beam of online drama, and this trend has become more and more strong.

"I’m out of the loop."

The popularity of "The Hidden Corner" made more audiences know Qin Hao as a "treasure" actor. "I am out of the circle!" Qin Hao joked in the live broadcast.

In his early years, Qin Hao was deeply involved in the art films directed by the sixth generation. Why did Lou Ye and Wang Xiaoshuai love him? He once said in an interview: because it is cheap. "Good quality and low price", but Qin Hao also cherishes feathers. He said that he never takes bad plays, which is the bottom line.

Because he has acted in too many art films, Qin Hao has never been well-known, and the commercial films he tried to act in are also insufficient in word of mouth and influence. Many people only remember his role, but can’t remember his name, or just remember that he is — — Yi Nengjing’s husband.

Qin Hao made his first electric shock online drama in 2017, and played an arrogant policeman in Crime Without a License. This suspense online drama scored 8.2 points in Douban, which made Qin Hao really enter the mainstream for the first time.

From movies to online dramas, the "literary niche" who traveled all over the red carpet of overseas film festivals admitted that he was "embarrassed" at first.

Qin Hao revealed in an interview that he received many scripts at that time, among which "Crime without a license" was the best, but the only concern was online drama. "At that time, I had a problem of self-esteem and vanity. Apart from this," Crime without a license "had no problem."

Because of having a daughter, money is more important than face, and he ignored the prejudice against online drama and vanity of himself, and took the crime of undocumented.

Before 2017, the online drama market just started through dramas such as "Psychological Crime" and "Forensic Medicine Qin Ming". At that time, Qin Hao did not like online drama for a reason. Now, at the age of 42, he is working with the team of Crime Without a Certificate on "Hidden Corner". Times have changed, and the quality of the series is excellent. He also succeeded in "out of the circle" with his superb acting skills.

Playing mahjong at the beginning, eating wonton in tears, slapping the table and scolding yaoyao … In the same play, Zhang Songwen, the actor of Zhu Chaoyang’s father, was also affirmed by the audience because of his exquisite feeling and proper limit’s performance.

Previously, Zhang Songwen was highly recognized by fans because he played the role of Director Tang of the Development Zone from the inside out in the film, but he once said in an interview that many people saw Director Tang’s "stormy clouds", it should be said that film critics saw it, and a group of people who especially loved movies saw it, but it didn’t mean that people in China saw it.

This time, The Hidden Corner really let the ordinary audience see him. Zhang Songwen, 44, starred in the first TV series "The Son-in-Law" in 2004, and now, after 16 years, she finally got a taste of popularity. He said that he finally had the satisfaction of being an actor.

The in-depth development of the online drama market has continuously opened up the performing stage for Mesozoic actors, among which Pan Yueming has to be mentioned.

In the past, he used to be Xu Xian, a young scholar in The Legend of the White Snake, and the third young gentleman in The Clouds in Beijing. His tender and handsome face became the "dream lover" in the hearts of many girls. Later, due to a series of storms, his performance career fell into a trough, almost to the point where there was no play.

But a good actor will not be buried.Until starring in online drama in 2017.Chasing the murderer in the white nightPan Yueming is divided into two horns, one is positive and the other is evil.Zhangloosen upThere is a degree, which explains the complex and contradictory psychological personality of a pair of twin brothers. Everyone realized that Pan Yueming was also an acting school.

With a score of 9.0, Douban was the most popular online drama of the year. Since then, Pan Yueming has been immersed in the online drama market, and has made great achievements.

From the role of Chen Xiazi in Angry Xiangxi to Hu Bayi in Longling Cave, Pan Yueming, who is 50 years old, looks fat and greasy at first glance, and is dubbed by netizens as "the fattest Hu Bayi in history", but he still can’t resist his good acting skills and his own charm.

It is reported that the next series of online dramas of Ghost Blowing Lights, such as Yunnan Worm Valley, Kunlun Temple of God, South China Sea Returning to the Ruins and Wuxia Guanshan, will also be starred by Pan Yueming, and the director is still his old partner Yang Fei.Because of the online drama, Pan Yueming finally came to faithful wife.

Look at the 41-year-old Guo Jingfei, who has been in the drama industry for 11 years. He made his mark in the suspense crime-solving drama The Dark Man in 2014, and later became popular with the TV series Everything is Fine. This year, he played a decadent man caught in a middle-aged crisis in the online drama I am Yu Huanshui, and was recognized again.

Online drama and uncle achieve each other.

40 is not confused, when the year of fighting.Mesozoic actors have found suitable roles in online dramas one after another. Some people have proved the value of a good actor with acting skills, and some people have broken through their own difficulties and reversed their established image in the hearts of the audience.

In the past, when traffic stars were in power, perfect seniors, overbearing presidents and others piled up youth dramas and love dramas, which reduced the space for Mesozoic actors to play. With the rise of suspense and realistic online dramas, they could choose more diversified male roles and have more opportunities to show their acting skills.

Under their interpretation, even the characters who look less than perfect, such as abnormal scum Zhang Dongsheng, eccentric father Zhu Yongping and fat Hu Bayi, can still be loved by the audience.

The reason why these uncle actors can become popular is inseparable from the improvement of the overall quality of the online drama market. The Secret Corner is a very good example.

At present, the main creative trend of online drama is short and fine. In the 12 episodes of "Hidden Corner", each episode has different length of content according to the story development, and suspense hooks are also left at the end of each episode, which is closer to the American drama mode.

Derive the subplots of each character from the main plot of the suspense case, deepen the complex side of human nature, broaden the breadth of the theme and the thickness of the story; In the aspects of photography, lighting, art scene construction, service road design and music style, it is also moving closer to the cinematic level.

In April this year, the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television issued the Notice on Organizing to Participate in the 32nd China TV Series Flying Award, which included the TV series premiered on national key video websites in the selection scope for the first time. The "Flying Award" makes the online drama compete with the TV series of Shangxing on the same stage, which shows the affirmation of the quality and influence of online drama.

The progress of online drama is inseparable from the help of these Mesozoic actors. The relationship between the two is mutual achievement, mutual fulfillment and joint responsibility for good content, which will usher in a mutually beneficial and win-win situation.

Many directors of online dramas are newcomers, and Xin Shuang, the director of Hidden Corner, is one of them. Qin Hao, Wang Jingchun and Zhang Songwen are experienced and creative actors, and they all have their own unique opinions from script to performance. They often guide the performances of three children actors in the filming process, which affects the presentation effect of the whole drama.

According to producer Lu Jing, when Xin Shuang first introduced the role to Qin Hao with character notes, Qin Hao said that the logic was unreasonable and the characters were inaccurate in less than three pages, prompting Xin Shuang to re-improve the script and characters; Wang Jingchun was the first actor in the whole play, and Lu Jing said that he was not embarrassed to play and devoted himself to the play. His performance made Chen, a new character, more attractive.

Like movies and TV series, online drama is a media platform for film and television communication. Nowadays, there are more and more high-quality online dramas. Because of the needs of the theme, middle-aged actors have also found more roles of the right age, and there is more room for acting, which will naturally bring traffic and heat.

Huang Xiaoming once said: "The audience is awake, and the producers are awake. Only good works can convince others." When the word-of-mouth era comes, what matters is not which market it broke into, but which good work it brought. Actors and works always share the same fate.
