By equating cinematic realism with visual blandness, they have confused the purpose of acting with that of a passport photo. Perhaps next time, they can simply mandate that all actors wear paper bags to ensure they do not offend the public with their good looks.
Rather than focusing on excessive makeup on actors, Xi Jinping Thought on Culture should demand stricter regulations in the entertainment industry. It should go deep into real life and take root among the entertainment industry, ensuring that television drama works reflect the beauty of a 40-hour workweek, the beauty of safe workplaces, and the beauty of anti-discrimination.
Chinese actors, especially those involved in the fiercely competitive realm of "idol dramas”, face numerous challenges throughout their careers. Their work environment is exceptionally demanding, with filming schedules that often require them to work six days a week for several months. These actors film late into the night, often until 3 a.m. or even later, without any time off. The physical demands placed on actors are significant. They frequently move from one project to another with little to no breaks, resulting in extreme fatigue and a need to maintain a very thin physique. Alongside these physical challenges, the mental stress can be overwhelming. And to think that after all this, these actors are subjected to this type of suffocating and relentless scrutiny.
The executives of Zhao Lusi's management company Galaxy Cool Entertainment failed to protect her and should be held accountable. Hopefully, they will encourage her to focus exclusively on her health because when all is said and done, nothing else matters.
I'm very excited about this upcoming drama. It should be a fun watch with these amazing actors! I loved William Chan in "Only Side by Side with You" and Zhao Lu Si in "Love Like the Galaxy." Thank you for all of your hard work! You guys rock!
