中年男神偶像钟汉良靳东：请珍惜你

中年偶像或许也是“中流砥柱”，他们的选择，其实很大程度上，是行业主流的方向。

执着于同质化偶像剧，难成老戏骨

钟汉良再次深情款款，隔着荧屏陪我们过年倒计时。电视剧《一路繁花相送》改编自大IP，讲的是优秀的男主角念念不忘初恋，十年后再寻女友的爱情故事。是不是有点熟悉？没错，钟汉良演《一路繁花相送》里的路非，令不少人联想起《何以笙箫默》中的何以琛。这一类“深情人”，钟汉良早已驾轻就熟。他本人表示，将两个角色进行比较，路非更加痴情，因为“一等就是十年，超过了何以琛的七年”。

许多业界人士认为，大IP剧+大IP剧专业户演员，已经到了狂欢的尾声。一系列原创优秀剧集，吸引走了很大一部分依靠原有读者群撑起来的低质IP剧的市场。这本应是正常生态，毕竟，偶像剧演员前一个角色的情深似海还没消化掉呢，又看他情深意长地爱上另一个。

更为人吐槽的是，这些即将或已经步入中年的偶像剧小生被担忧在“吃老本”，年岁上去了，却仍不断在重复同类型的角色。有人将钟汉良近期演的《一路繁花相送》和《凉生，我们可不可以不忧伤》的宣传剧照放在一起，问：“挡住logo，你能看出这是两部剧吗？”

这种情况不只体现在一个人身上。钟汉良、冯绍峰、刘恺威、靳东，差不多可算是现阶段国产偶像剧里的“四大中年男神”。他们都是“70后”，年龄在四十岁上下，岁月这把刀对待他们算很温柔，其他人渐渐被称作“老戏骨”，而他们是“中年偶像男神”。这几位近几年的形象是很严重地固化了，想到钟汉良，就是“何以琛”；冯绍峰，就是玄幻剧；刘恺威，永远是霸道总裁；靳东呢，自然是“人生导师”。很显然，这是同质化的角色乃至剧集带来的“副作用”。而形象一旦固化，就很难突破。

不再年轻也不应该原地踏步

在许多人的意识里，“偶像”就代表着挥洒的青春荷尔蒙，是属于少男少女的。这个概念或许应该因时而变，35+甚至40+的成熟、睿智、千人千面的演员，不比单靠颜值的年轻小生有魅力吗？比如，说钟汉良是一个“中年偶像”，估计反对者较少。论外形，多年来都保持在巅峰状态，没有发福秃发的油腻；论人气，他的忠粉数量众多，网络流量也不输正当红的年轻偶像。个人生活也鲜有负面，保持着神秘与稳定，经得住女性观众检验。

实际上，愈发让忠粉较为不满的，也是偶像演艺事业的“稳定”——换种措辞，就是没有规划，原地踏步。如果说拍偶像剧的中年美男子都没有演技、没有自我要求，确实有些偏颇。钟汉良拍剧之外上过大银幕，电影《三人行》《惊天大逆转》里有令人眼前一亮的表演。

冯绍峰半红不黑了多年，直到33岁才凭借《宫锁心玉》的“八阿哥”极速蹿红。红了之后乘势而上拍电影，他在李仁港《鸿门宴》里演“西楚霸王”，之后主演《后会无期》《黄金时代》《西游记》，文艺片与商业片齐飞。而最脱胎换骨的演绎是在让·雅克·阿诺执导的电影《狼图腾》，还因此拿到百花奖最佳男主角，简直就是一曲大龄偶像剧小生成功逆袭大银幕的战歌。

可惜的是，已有电影资源的冯绍峰，似乎更执着于小荧屏的“雷剧”。不少大龄小生都不放弃演IP偶像剧，片酬高当然是重要原因，还有，演电视剧是实实在在圈人气、赚粉丝的最佳渠道。然而，冯绍峰近几年播出的剧皆饱受诟病。

大概因为有偶像光芒，他演的是备受瞩目的偶像剧、IP剧，最要命的是固执于玄幻题材。演郭敬明[微博]《幻城》里的卡索王子时，他遭遇了从艺史上最猛烈的讥嘲。从造型、妆容到角色、台词，简直被喷得体无完肤。然而，谁能想到，冯绍峰还拍了一部现代偶像玄幻剧《那片星空那片海》，纠缠什么“鲛人灵珠”，各方面崩过了《幻城》，几乎到了令人瞠目的程度。

“中年偶像剧”稀缺造成了他们的选择

记得《幻城》开拍电视剧时有记者问郭敬明，会不会觉得冯绍峰演这部剧年龄偏大，毕竟他比马天宇大近十岁。郭敬明明确表示这是正常的男偶像年纪，“跟小鲜肉比起来他可能年纪大一些，但对于电视剧的族群来说，他的年纪刚刚好”。郭敬明或许不懂艺术，但他懂市场，他的分析有一定道理。

对电视剧来说，绝非只是年轻流量偶像才有市场。甚至恰恰相反，有一定阅历和年龄的男女主角更受欢迎，屡屡创造不俗成绩。电视观众中有大批主妇，要引起她们的共鸣和共情，就不能光演绎青涩纯美，熟男熟女的故事更受欢迎。

所谓“师奶杀人”通常都不年轻。香港TVB的剧，就常被称作中年偶像剧。最有观众缘的男小生们，林保怡、陈豪、黎耀祥……都是过了愣头青小伙子的年龄，才逐渐走红上位，而且愈老愈讨师奶喜欢，女性观众甚是长情。

在海外，年轻偶像如雨后春笋、红得如火如荼，但也仍旧有中年偶像的大片广袤市场。韩剧里既风姿绰约又能干有个性的女主角特别多，让一群阿姨级演员熠熠生辉。日剧就更直接了，好比《监狱里的公主殿下》里说：“女人和水果都是在快要腐烂的时候最好吃。”至于中年男偶像，木村拓哉、福山雅治至今仍是神一般的存在。

但是，我们尚缺为中年人打造的“偶像剧”——不是霸道总裁爱上我，不是不切实际的多角恋，而是需要在呈现“人到中年”的情感故事中，有更多现实关照。现在那些被争先恐后抢版权的网络小说，并不是“中偶剧”。它们多半出自网络小说，整体仍是低龄化的，剧情与人物设置并不合适有一定资历和年纪的中年男神。所以，有不少人认定偶像剧不合适中年人演出。他们抱怨：“小鲜肉偶像剧的画面， 搬到中老年偶像剧里面是很囧的。”“中年傻白甜一点都不可爱。”

“中年偶像”的发展和行业息息相关

中年男演员可以依旧是偶像吗？自然可以，但这不意味着他们永远需要扮演高大全的角色。而只能把男主角塑造得完美无缺毫无弱点的剧本，必然也不会是什么品质之作。想想，《琅琊榜》里奇智近妖的梅长苏，却是个病秧子；《遇见王沥川》高大英俊的建筑师，也可以是个残疾人。

对于年龄，国产剧总有把谈恋爱的主角往年轻化打造的执念，什么意思，中老年人不配有爱情？这也是“中年偶像”经常不切实际装嫩的原因。每个年龄段都有自己的美，40岁演20岁分明太勉强。我们也不愿意看到好好的男人到了中年，留着夸张的洗剪吹发型，染稻草般的黄发。都说换个发型显年轻十岁，但也可能失败。像靳东，明显光可鉴人的大背头比偶像男团式的庞大刘海更合适他。近期的电视剧《恋爱先生》播出后，评论里一边倒地吐槽，都是想替他打薄前额头发，“掀起你的刘海来”。

或许角色还是其次，最重要的是远离不靠谱剧组。想想钟汉良遭遇臭名昭著的“抠图大剧”《孤芳不自赏》，令人扼腕。一些少男少女容易被原谅的错，资深人士就不合适了。成名已久，就不能想想突破一下已有的造诣？和年轻演员一样说着自己都不相信的台词，一不小心就会显露出猥琐。

话说回来，靳东虽然一直被吐槽演什么角色都一个样，但他在选剧本上还是比其他几位有水平的。从最初走红的《伪装者》，到《外科风云》《我的前半生》，都有可圈可点之处；尝试了一次网剧《鬼吹灯之精绝古城》，也没有崩；而客串过的《琅琊榜》《欢乐颂》（第一部）《战长沙》，不同类型在业界都有口皆碑。而中年偶像或许也是“中流砥柱”，他们的选择，其实很大程度上是行业主流的选择。

还是那句话，产业链是环环相扣的，既要鞭策“中年偶像”们选择合适的影视剧剧本，也要质疑有没有足够多足够好的剧本、团队，继续打造“中年偶像”，拍中年人也爱看的电视剧？

Middle age male idol Zhong Hanliang Jin Dong: please cherish your feathers!

Zhong Hanliang (data map)

Middle age idols may also be the "mainstay", their choice, in fact, is, to a large extent, the direction of the mainstream of the industry.

Perseverance in the homogeneity of the idol drama, difficult to become old opera bone

Zhong Hanliang once again affectionate, on screen to accompany us for the year's countdown. TV drama "the way to send flowers" adapted from IP, the excellent actor unforgettable first love, ten years later to find his girlfriend's love story. Is it a little familiar? Yes, Zhong Hanliang played a "road" in the way to send flowers, so many people think of "energy-saving" in how chen. This kind of "deep love", Zhong Hanliang has long been adept. He himself said that the comparison of the two roles, Lu Fei was more infatuated, because "first class is ten years, more than the seven years of he."

Many industry insiders believe that the IP + IP drama drama actor, has come to the end of the carnival. A series of original outstanding dramas have attracted a large portion of the market of low quality IP plays supported by the original readers. This should be the normal ecology, after all, the idol drama actor before a character is not digest it, and see him long to fall in love with another.

More and more people Tucao, the idol will be or have been middle-aged niche by concern in the rest on our laurels, we go up, but continue to repeat the same type of role. Someone will Zhong Hanliang play "a recent road" and "the flowers gone cold, we can not be sad" publicity stills together, asked: "in logo, you can see that this is the two drama?"

This situation is not only reflected in one person. Zhong Hanliang, William Feng, Hawick Lau, Jin Dong, is almost the present stage of domestic idol drama "the four big middle age male god". They are all 70 years old. At the age of forty years old, they treat them very gently. Others are gradually called "old drama bones", while they are "middle-aged idol men gods". These images have been solidified very seriously in recent years. To think of Zhong Hanliang is "He Yichen"; William Feng is an illusion drama; Hawick Lau is always a bossy president; Jin Dong is naturally "life tutor". It is obvious that this is the "side effect" of the homogeneity role and even the series. Once the image is solidified, it is difficult to break through.

No longer young and should not step in place

William Feng (data map)

In many people's consciousness, "idols" represent the youthful hormones that belong to the young men and women. Should this concept change from time to time, 35+ even 40+'s mature, sagacious, thousands of people, not more attractive than young young students with a single face? For example, Zhong Hanliang is a "middle age Idol", and it is estimated that the opposition is less.  The shape, for many years at the top level, not greasy fat alopecia; on his popularity, fans number, network traffic is not to lose the popular young idols.  Your personal life is rarely negative, mysterious and stability, withstand the test of female viewers.

In fact, the more dissatisfied with loyalty, is the "stability" of the career of the idol - the change of language, that is, no planning, step by step. If the middle-aged men who beat the idol play did not have acting skills and did not ask for themselves, they were somewhat biased. Zhong Hanliang had been filming outside the big screen, the film "three of us are walking together" "comeback" in impressive performances.

William Feng half red not black for many years, until the age of 33 with "Jade Palace lock core" of the "eight age" speed jump red. After the red to the movie, he in "Daniel Lee banquet" in his "Concubine", starring "" never ever meet again "golden age" and "journey to the west", art films and commercial films together. The deduction is reborn in the Jean Jacques Arno movie "Wolf Totem", so to get the best actor award, it is an older idol niche successful counter attack battle hymn of the big screen.

Unfortunately, William Feng, who has a movie resource, seems to be more persistent in the "thunder drama" on the small screen. Many older students do not give up playing IP idol drama, of course offered is an important reason, and TV is real in the circle of popularity, the best channel make fans.  However, William Feng's play has been criticized in recent years.

Probably because of the idols, he plays the most prominent idol drama, IP drama, the most important is the obstinacy on the fantasy theme. Guo Jingming [micro-blog] "-" the castle prince, he suffered from the history of the most violent ridicule. From the shape, makeup to the role of the lines, was injured all over the body spray. However, who can think of, William Feng also made a modern idol drama fantasy "starry sky of the sea", "shark Lingzhu" entangled what the collapse over the "city of fantasy", almost to a staggering degree.

The scarcity of "middle age idol drama" causes their choice

Hawick Lau (data map)

Remember the "-" drama when a reporter asked Guo Jingming, William Feng will not feel the show older, after all he is older than Ma Tianyu nearly ten years old. Guo Jingming made it clear that this is the normal age of male idol. "He may be older than small fresh meat, but his age is just good for ethnic groups in TV series". Guo Jingming may not understand art, but he understands the market, and his analysis has some sense.

For TV dramas, it's not just a young flow icon to have a market. Even on the contrary, the male and female characters with certain experience and age are more popular.

A lot of common achievements have been created. There are a large number of housewives in the TV audience. To arouse their sympathy and empathy, they can not deduce the pure and pure beauty, and the story of ripe male Cougar is more popular.

The so-called "lady killer" is usually not young. The TVB play in Hongkong is often called the middle age idol drama. The most spectator boys, Bowie Lam, Moses Chan, Wayne Lai... Is a hot headed young man's age, it gradually became popular host, and more old more. Lady love, the female audience is very long.

Overseas, young idols have sprung up and red in full swing, but there are still vast expanses of market for middle-aged idols. The drama in both personality charming appearance and personality and capable actress, in particular, to a group of actors aunt shine. Drama is more straightforward, like "prison" princess said: "women and fruits are best eaten when about to rot." As for the middle-aged male idols, Takuya Kimura and Fukuyama Masaharu are still the gods.

However, we still lack the idol drama created for middle-aged people, not that the overbearing president is in love with me, not the unrealistic multi love, but needs more realistic care in presenting the "middle age" emotional story. Now the Internet novels, which are scrambling to steal the copyright, are not "Chinese drama". They are mostly from Internet novels, and the whole is still low - age, and the plot and character settings are not suitable for middle-aged men with a certain seniority and age. So, a lot of people believe that idols are not suitable for middle-aged people to perform. They complained: "small meat idol drama picture, moved to the old idol inside is very embarrassed." "Middle age is stupid, sweet and sweet."

The development of "middle age Idol" is closely related to the industry

Jin Dong (data map)

Can middle-aged actors be still idols? Naturally, but that does not mean that they always need to play the role of Gao Daquan. And the script that can only make the actor perfect and without weakness is certainly not a quality work.  Think about it, "Nirvana in Fire" Ricci Zhi Su Mei Long near the demon, is a valetudinarian; "met Wang Lichuan" tall and handsome architect can also be disabled.

For the age, there is always a homemade play to make the leading role in the past year, which means that the middle-aged and the old are not worthy of love. This is why the "middle-aged Idol" often unrealistic zhuangnen. Every age has its own beauty. 40 years old is 20 years old. We also don't want to see a good man in middle age, with an exaggerated scissors and hairstyle, and yellow hair like straw. All said that the change of hairstyle was ten years younger, but it could also fail. Like Jin Dong, big head back obviously than the shiny idol snatch type big bangs better suited him. After the recent TV series, "the love of love" broadcast, the comment on the side of the side to the ground, are trying to thin the hair for him, "set off your Liu Hailai."

Maybe the role is second, and the most important thing is to stay away from the unreliable play. Think of Zhong Hanliang's "big drama suffered a notorious repute matting" "reward" is not isolated, distraught. Some young boys and girls are easily forgiven, and senior people are not fit. For a long time, you can't think about breaking through the existing attainments. As a young actor, speaking of the lines that they do not believe in, it will show inadvertent indiscretion.

As a matter of fact, Jin Dong, although he has always been the same as the role of the role of all the same, but he is in the selection of the script is still more than the others. From the first hit "the pretender", "surgical situation" to "my former life, have something in common; try a network drama" ghost blows Jingjue city ", there is no avalanche; guest Nirvana in Fire" and the "" Ode to joy "(the first)" war Changsha "different types are legendary in the industry.  And middle-aged idols may also be the "mainstay", their choice, in fact, is largely the choice of the mainstream of the industry.

In other words, the industry chain is closely linked. We should not only encourage middle-aged idol to choose the right movie and TV play script, but also question whether there are enough enough script and team to continue to create "middle-aged Idol" and take the drama that middle-aged people like to watch.
