Zhang bin bin and Li qin , a curious case ?
These two are some of my fav actors . Not just visuals but they are very very strong actors especially zhang bin bin. ( He is one of the best in acting among his peers ).
They have been acting for a long time .So iam just baffled that iam not seeing them doing back to back good projects as lead . Zhang bin bins face is also made for modern romance , so why is he not doing such roles ? Its not like he is not visible , hes been part of many successful dramas ( from supporting to lead ) . He's acting as a controlled ruthless king in the kings woman was so strong .
Li qin . He last drama I saw was fated hearts( practically for me her acting carried the drama ) . Also loved her in the song of glory . I find her acting so natural and her martial arts movements are so convincing . She is undoubtedly one of the strong actors .Her supporting roles in dramas were also very successful.
So iam just sad and sometime think it's not fair . That they are not getting good projects as leads when I see every new XYZ actor with zero acting talent starring in almost every project , the same new faces always announced in permutations combinations every second drama .
So do they not have capital backing or agency backing ? Let's say producers only prioritise visuals ( as seen in many upcoming newer actors ) but they are also not lacking in that area , and they all bring acting talent . Last I checked li qin is operating solo without any agency .
What do you guys think the main problem is ? Are good actors even with good visuals , if they do not have enough backing will run out of options ?? That's very sad situation for chinese dramas in future , when everything is turned into visuals only .
