Above the dark clouds: 42-year-old Li Xiaoran is obviously older, but he looks smaller than 0-year-old Sun Li, and the contrast is too great

How important is an actress's appearance? The contrast between 42-year-old Li Xiaoran and 0-year-old Sun Li playing sisters in "Above the Clouds" is too great!

In the hit drama "Above the Dark Clouds", Han Qing played by Sun Li is a female police officer of the criminal investigation team who is not smiling, and when she saw Zhou Xueman played by Li Xiaoran appearing, she didn't believe that she was playing Sun Li's sister in the play.

Sun Li is 6 years younger than Li Xiaoran, who is like a sister and who is like a sister!

Indeed, judging from her appearance alone, Li Xiaoran is too young, and she always feels not convincing enough to play Sun Li's sister. Especially when I was in the same frame with Sun Li, I always felt awkward when I heard Sun Li call Li Xiaoran "sister".

The main reason is that Li Xiaoran's appearance is not only young, but also his figure is too amazing, regardless of skin and figure, and facial contours, he looks younger than Sun Li.

For this reason, a national discussion about the status of actors was unexpectedly set off outside the play: 48-year-old Sun Li and 0-year-old Li Xiaoran played sisters in the same frame, but the audience collectively fell into "age disorder".

This dramatic visual contrast, just like the interlocking unsolved cases in the play, has become the most intriguing "out-of-case case" in the play.

Did the audience call them the other way around? Sun Li should play Li Xiaoran's sister, right?

The fatigue of the criminal investigation captain Han Qing (played by Sun Li) is really heavy, and it is overwhelming. Coupled with the slightly puffy facial contours, dull complexion, and furrowed brows, Huo De is a real person who came out of the filing cabinet of the grassroots police station.

And her "sister" Zhou Xueman (played by Li Xiaoran) seems to have been forgotten by time - there are no traces of time on her face. The porcelain white skin glows with cold light under the camera, the well-tailored suit wraps the thin body, and even pouring a cup of tea looks like a fashion blockbuster.

When the sisters were in the same frame, the audience thought they were watching the cross-drama linkage of "police and female stars".

But this sense of disobedience may be the careful design of the crew. When the audience is still arguing about "what happened to Sun Li's face, the cheeks are like two pieces of candy", they may have ignored the clever intertextuality between the character setting and the actor's state.

Han Qing, as a grassroots criminal policeman, stays up all night all year round to investigate murders, if he really appears in Li Xiaoran-style cold white skin, it will weaken the credibility of the character.

As netizens ridiculed: "I've seen instant noodles at the police station at four o'clock in the morning, who still believes that female policemen can maintain water and light muscles?" "The swelling and vicissitudes that have been complained about are precisely the role medals.

On the other hand, Zhou Xueman's "frozen age" state hides a mystery in the plot.

This woman who wanders in the tea business has a well-designed smile every time she appears, and even the action of wiping the bone china cup is like wiping the murder weapon.

When she walked towards her sister with the thermos box, the undercurrent under the gentle eye waves was more deceptive than any makeup.

The more the audience questions "why is she a sister", the more it confirms the success of this character's disguise - just like a drug dealer will always package his sin as harmless.

Or Li Xiaoran's role positioning is the big boss behind the scenes.

Because first of all, she and the heroine have various side descriptions in various interactions, and their expressions are very strange. When she was a child, Han Qing and her mother didn't like her, bullied her, and even Han Qing caused her parents to have a car accident in order to be angry, but she didn't know that she would feel guilty, and she would often take the initiative to go to the heroine's house to clean up her things and stew soup.

This is very abnormal!

Perhaps Zhou Xueman's youthful appearance is also wrapped in unspeakable secrets. This double metaphor makes the audience jump back and forth between licking their faces and solving the case: when we are discussing the state of the actors, are we also inadvertently participating in the puzzle game of the series?

Summary: This discussion about the "shelf life of actresses' appearance" may confirm the cleverness of the casting of "Above the Clouds".

Sun Li uses her acting skills to create a sense of realism in her role, Li Xiaoran uses her skin to interpret dangerous and beautiful lies, and when the pair of "misplaced sisters" face each other in front of the camera, the dramatic tension has long surpassed the simple comparison of appearance.
