As a star-making factory in the golden age of Hong Kong dramas, TVB has recorded countless faces with the camera.
Zheng Shaoqiu, who is a star, who is a star, Gu Tianle, who was shocked in the Bai Gu period, and Ekin Cheng, who has a comic face......
Each name is a perfect synonym for appearance and acting skills.
But in this TV kingdom known as "pretty boys", there is a group of "atypical male gods".
They don't have the facial features of a knife and axe, but they can use their unique charm to make the audience catch up with the drama.
They are labeled as "ugly Su ceiling", but they have contracted the male number one of 90% hit dramas.
Why do these anti-routine TVB niches always play the male lead?
Lin Baoyi crossed over from a singer to an actor when she was 26 years old, signed a contract with TVB at the age of 0, and started her acting career.
Just looking at her facial features, Lin Baoyi can be called a TVB "ordinary man" textbook.
The M-shaped forehead with a worrying hairline, the uneven skin with potholes, and the swollen eye bubbles that can never wake up, how to look at it and the handsome guy.
But when he put on a three-piece suit, the sense of abstinence elite instantly made people understand what is called "intellectual love ceiling".
Many viewers know Lin Baoyi from "The Great Era".
He plays the stock market wizard Chen Taotao, although there are not many scenes, but he is at the beginning of his appearance, which is unforgettable at first sight.
What really made him a god was Zeng Jiayuan, who was as calm as a scalpel in "Forensic Records", and Li Guozhu, who couldn't hide his sexual tension in a white coat in "Wonderful Hands and Benevolence".
In 2004, "Golden Branch Desire" was broadcast, and the forbidden love between Sun Baiyang and Yuying's little lord directly sent him to the throne of Emperor Shi.
The most amazing thing is that he is obviously not handsome, but he and all kinds of heroines have a sense of CP.
In "Fire Dancing Yellow Sand", he and Li Zi hugged each other on the loess slopes, and the wind and sand all over the sky became a hormonal catalyst.

Chen Hao: The spokesperson of rough Han aesthetics
Chen Hao, who was jokingly called "the founder of TVB's ugly and handsome world" by netizens, can be called a counterattack template for his acting career.
At the age of 5, he debuted with the movie "Evening 0 Dynasty 0", but his star career was bleak, and after switching to TVB, he began to brush his face from Cao Pi in "Luoshen".
It wasn't until Tang Zhi'an, the "land" of "Heart Storm", that the class leap from "clown" to "ugly handsome" was truly realized.
With a wide nose, thick lips, a protruding mouth, and the iconic freckles, this face is a farmer in costume dramas.
In "Fire Dancing Yellow Sand", he played the role of a rough man in the northwest, and there was no sense of disobedience at all.
But when he put on a neatly cut suit and a 185cm Pacific wide shoulder, he instantly supported half of the Hong Kong drama business war films.
The nouveau riche who gave Li Zi a yacht in "Jewels" is obviously doing cliché behaviors, but he looks cute because of his clumsiness and sincerity.
What the audience buys the most is that he makes the performance of "Local Taste Boss" fresh and refined.
What's even more amazing is that Chen Hao has become more and more handsome as he gets older, and he has changed from ugly and handsome to a tough guy.
Ouyang Zhenhua: The teacher's grandmother chooses the top class
Ouyang Zhenhua, who was known as "TVB's roundest male protagonist" in the 90s, used his strength to interpret what is called "audience metaphysics".
The five male protagonists of the "No. 1 Royal Court" series, "Sister Tuogun" held hands with Guan Yonghe for the fourth time, and "Forensic Pioneer" created a new era of professional dramas.
Each of his works is a ratings guarantee, and it is rumored that "Ouyang Chubby appeared, and the remote control of the grandmother will never change the channel".
Swollen eye bubbles, double chin, receding hairline, and a face as round as Garfield's face, these are appearance bugs on others, and they have all become memory points for him.
In "Drunk and Beating the Golden Branch", the concubine Guo Hua was violently beaten by the princess, and the aggrieved little expression made the audience want to laugh and feel distressed.
Song Ci's focused expression during the autopsy in "Clearing Grievances" inexplicably has a kind of professional credibility.
The secret weapon lies in his original "life stream acting".
When investigating the case, he gnawed on a pineapple bag to analyze clues, repaired water pipes to his neighbors when mediating disputes, and performed the elite role in the fireworks of the vegetable market.
This natural sense of intimacy allows the teachers and grandmothers to automatically substitute the "own son-in-law" filter when watching the drama.
Tan Junyan: The second generation of stars made a difficult counterattack
With a wide jaw, nasolabial folds and slightly sluggish eyes, Tan Junyan's face has been complained by netizens many times: Obviously, his father is so handsome, why can't his son inherit it at all, and he picks on his shortcomings.
Tan Junyan, who debuted with the halo of "Dillon's son", was ridiculed as "the most watery emperor" for his "facial paralysis acting skills".
However, in recent years, with the role of capitalist Xu Daoming in "Corporate Strongman", he has achieved a word-of-mouth counterattack, and his business rivalry with Chen Hao has been praised as "sparks flying".
Faced with the questioning of "poor acting skills" on the Internet, he chose to respond with his works: "I'm more worried that there is no audience to watch the drama."
This open-minded attitude won the favor of the audience, and even netizens who complained about his "shame of forcible push" admitted that "at least he is improving".
This year's TVB's major drama "News Queen 2", he will continue to perform.
I hope that in the second part, he and Charmaine Sheh can play better than the first part.
Sunken cheekbones and excessively high hairline, these should be the characteristics of a hard appearance, but they have become Xie Tianhua's weapons to create complex characters.
Not to mention Hong Kong, there is no alternative second choice for domestic entertainment.
從《古惑仔》裡的“大天二”到《潛行狙擊》的“Laughing哥”，謝天華用三十年打磨出獨一無二的“痞帥美學”。
The iconic crooked smile, coupled with cynical eyes, coupled with the arrogant posture of raising his head slightly and his hands on his hips, made him the best choice for TVB's "good and evil" role.
《學警狙擊》中潛伏黑幫的臥底，一個叼着牙籤斜眼看人的鏡頭，就讓觀眾自動腦補出十萬字警匪虐戀文。
The suave prodigal son in "Women Are Not Easy to Do", with half-long hair and gold-wire glasses, insists on performing a vulgar plot with a sense of taboo.
The most amazing thing is the "villain Su Gan" he created.
In "French Open Sniper", the gangster was angry for his red face, and the mix and match of the suit and machete did not violate the harmony.
The killer in "Sharpshooter Sniper", who is both good and evil, even has a lazy elegance in his shooting posture.
Netizens incisively summarized: "The villain can be played as the audience's three views and run with the facial features, and there is only one in the whole TVB."
With a wide chin, a collapsed nose and perpetually messy hair, this appearance is stress-free for the people of the market.
Even Chen Baixiang ridiculed him, playing the poor is effortless, but playing the rich is even more difficult.
The appearance is not outstanding, and what is even more deadly is that Li Yaoxiang is not tall, and the Hong Kong heroine is almost 170 per capita, which can't be matched no matter how you look at it.
is not handsome, there is no 8 meters 0, such a hard injury, it is estimated that he will not be able to be the protagonist for the rest of his life in internal entertainment.
However, before becoming the male number one, Li Yaoxiang actually had many representative roles.
played Zhou Botong four times in Jin Yong's martial arts drama, Master Shi in "Xiucai Meets Soldiers", and Zhu Bajie in "Journey to the West", each role is impressive.
It wasn't until 2009 that Deng Cuiwen designated him to partner with herself to star in "Women and Heroes", that Li Yaoxiang was finally seen by the audience and ushered in the peak of his career.
Although he is not handsome, Li Yaoxiang has his own acting skills: "immersive eye skills".
Looking at Deng Cuiwen's eyes in "Women and Heroes" changed from disdain to respect, and the level change is comparable to a miniature movie.
Li Lianying, who is humble and forbearant in "The Great Eunuch", plays the bitterness and arrogance of the low-level characters very well.
The most classic is the vicissitudes of the outrageous killer in "Killer", who was called "a man who acts with wrinkles" by netizens.
With a protruding mouth, high cheekbones and too wide eye distance, this face can neither hold the beautiful man in ancient costumes, nor can he play the idol male lead.
But it is this kind of "drama face-throwing" quality that makes his acting career particularly wide.
Relying on the "fool professional household" to win two TV emperors, and three times as the king with the treacherous role, Guo Jinan's drama road can be called the best in TVB.
In "Jackie Chan", Ding Changwang, who has an IQ of only 7 years old, does not salivate involuntarily, and his eyes are always scattered, which makes the collective maternal love of the whole Hong Kong teacher and grandmother overflow.
Gao Zhexing in a wheelchair in "The Loyal Traitor", his yin owl eyes made people's backs cold.
The ghost horse of the psychic detective in "The Psychic Detective", the paranoia of the medical reformer in "The White Strongman", each character is subverted as if he has been reincarnated.
The most amazing thing is his "micro-plastic surgery acting skills", netizens jokingly said: "It is recommended that internal entertainment fresh meat collectively observe Guo Jinan to see what plastic surgery acting is." ”
When internal entertainment was still arguing for the hot search for "ancient puppet ugly men", these TVB uncle male gods had already given standard answers:
The true charm of an actor is never confined to the skin. Acting is the key to creating a classic.
他們用三十年職業生涯證明，觀眾永遠會為專業與誠意買單。
In this magical era where AI can be used as acting skills for changing faces, we miss these TVB students who "don't rely on their faces" more and more.
