Is it appropriate for Jerry Yan, a 46-year-old actor, to star in the idol drama Summer Flowers？

Special feature of 1905 film network Some time ago, I sent a Weibo with the message "My child is coming." .

However, in the follow-up, he did not officially announce the major events in his life. Instead, he expressed his apology in the comment area. "The staff said that this is not appropriate, let me bring the MV link, sorry."

For a while, the majority of netizens were stunned.Such an eye-catching propaganda method has sparked heated discussions. Jerry Yan himself is once again caught in the whirlpool of controversy.

The "child" he mentioned on the social platform refers to the new work "Summer Flowers".

The play tells the story of a teenage girl He Ran who met a gardener Han Xiao who lost confidence in life at the last stage of her life. They met unexpectedly many times and gained love.

Jerry Yan, a 77-year-old partner, was born in 1998. In the play, there is a full difference of 22 years between the two people who share a sweet love.

46-year-old Jerry Yan is still in a romantic drama, is it appropriate?

There is a supportive view that Yan value capital is enough to support him to continue to perform love dramas. However, there are also objections that it is not a good thing for him as an actor to be immersed in the comfort zone of idol drama since Meteor Garden.

In the face of various disputes from netizens, Jerry Yan did not shy away.

In the dialogue with "Meteor Garden", he compared himself to a singer, and thought that "Meteor Garden" was a famous song and "Summer Flowers" was another work. Jerry Yan said that he met the most suitable role at the best age and he knew what he was doing and what he was pursuing. ……

PART.01

Doumyouji Tsukasa didn’t choose Jerry Yan at first, and neither did Han Xiao. The first candidate for the latter was a traffic artist, and by mistake he became Jerry Yan. "This is a kind of fate, and it is just right." Jerry Yan said with a smile.

He likes "Han Xiao" and thinks that characters experience is the epitome of his life in the past few years. Therefore, I especially want to play this role well. "(Strength) is a little more afraid of greasy, and a little less worried about not being able to play, so I still did a lot of homework for him." Jerry Yan used "giving everything" to describe the process of getting close to the characters, and made a lot of efforts in appearance and inner thinking.

"How can a carpenter be fat?"

In his understanding, "Han Xiao" has certain requirements for himself. Outside the play, he also asked himself to cook with water to keep fit and learn to saw wood by imitating carpentry. When working as a carpenter, you should bite something with your mouth, which is what he observed in real life.

He said that he was trying to experience the performance of the school. In the past ignorant years, playing the overbearing president relied entirely on body language to highlight the personality of the characters. But as far as "Han Xiao" is concerned, how to present a state of losing confidence in life, many things have to be put away and "played", so he changed his daily performance and became "difficult to get along with".

When everyone thought that Jerry Yan, who always showed his sunshine, could always blend in with everyone, he stayed on the set and immersed himself in a gloomy state for a long time, always living with the mask of "Han Xiao".

The staff around him couldn’t help asking him, "Why don’t you talk? Are you unhappy?"

Jerry Yan didn’t explain much about this.

But in changing this matter, he did struggle and fall into contradiction. He asked himself, "Is Jerry Yan going to be a good actor or is he going to continue his previous state?"

The female partners around me are getting younger and younger. Xu Ruohan in Summer Flowers and I Love You are all post-95 generation actors, but they have already passed the age of 40. "It’s time to be greasy, but what should I do?"

Young people have the courage to try, and there is room for mistakes. However, as they grow older, their role limitations are inevitable, which he knows very well and cannot be changed. The only thing he can change is himself, not the way he performs.

So he was silent on the set, trying to push himself to another realm, trying to separate himself from the so-called idol Jerry Yan.

"What else can you do for the role?"

This is his favorite sentence recently. He knows that everyone has a lot of expectations and imaginations for himself, and admits that the past performances are a little superficial.

After all, whether it’s Meteor Garden, I Love You, or movies, there’s always a lingering voice saying that Jerry Yan is spinning in the idol drama routine. Even in the current Summer Flowers, there are still such comments.

"Everyone thinks this is another idol drama, and no one is optimistic that you can play this role well." When talking about the comments around him, Jerry Yan was a little self-deprecating.

Fortunately, at a more experienced age, he gradually realized something. Now I have a firm belief in my heart — — Always believe in what you are doing, and then continue to go in the ideal direction.

PART.02

"Summer Flower" with Douban score of 7.1 has been controversial in word of mouth. The cliche of the plot, logical loopholes and oily tone have all become the reasons why it has been criticized by the public.

Some viewers pointed out that the setting of "a girl who stays at home falls in love with a down-and-out uncle" is unrealistic. This is "a romantic novel without a nutritious running account" and "a vulgar drama with an idol drama coat". It is difficult for "Han Xiao" to bring too many blessings to Jerry Yan. If we mention this "young man god" again in the future, we will still think that he is "Doumyouji Tsukasa".

Because the role of "Doumyouji Tsukasa" in "Meteor Garden" is well known to the audience, in his acting career of more than 20 years, Jerry Yan did not play a variety of roles. As for the label of "middle-aged idol", he frankly expected to try different challenges.

He lamented that he met "Doumyouji Tsukasa" at the best age and received a gift from God, but this gift bound him and tied him up for many years.

When Meteor Garden was released, everyone around him praised him, "You played very well!" . "It’s okay to listen to this once or twice. After listening to it a hundred times, you will believe it." Jerry Yan described this belief as "terrible", and at that time it was somewhat "unworthy of virtue".

After becoming famous overnight, there were many engagements, but many of them were afraid to take them. At the peak, Jerry Yan longed for a role that could surpass "Doumyouji Tsukasa", but he never met it. He often felt as if he didn’t know what to do. "I think I am staying in a beautiful castle, but one day, the castle will be broken."

Looking back now, he also reflected that he was too concerned about other people’s eyes, too afraid of the result of failure, and did not move forward bravely. The so-called idol burden overshadowed his intuition as an actor.

Jerry Yan has not been particularly productive in recent years. Especially since 2015, the only starring works are Summer Flowers, A Little Tempted, I like you so much and Best Ex-boyfriend.

He said he wanted to slow down and continue to precipitate. Instead of worrying about the bad market, fewer and fewer good scripts and other things that cannot be changed, you can at least start to contact performances again.

Jerry Yan’s self-analysis, now the cognition of performance is completely different from that of the idol flow period. More and more people like to communicate with artists who love performance, which will also urge them to improve their performance methods. "This is the only thing I can change and accumulate."

For a long time, as long as Jerry Yan appeared in the public eye, there was always a curious voice asking him, "Have you tried to break through now?" .

And he always answers and wants to speak with his works. Because no matter how much you talk about it, it’s futile if you can’t bring your work for everyone to see.

I don’t want to be defined by secular eyes, and I hope to prove myself to more people. Jerry Yan looks forward to playing a "super villain".

You know, it is an achievement to play the villain as flesh and blood and prop up the audience’s empathy for the role.

How far can he go at 46?Probably time will prove everything, and the results will be expected.
