In many discussions of the audience, Wang Herun seems to always be a supporting actress with a “strong presence”. Some people criticize her for “having too many scenes”, and some people question her frequent appearances in Huanrui dramas. But if we put aside the inherent impression of “Huanrui’s big gift package”, to be fair, Wang Herun’s performance in many works is actually quite remarkable.
1. Strong digestion of roles, a steady supporting actress
Wang Herun plays important roles in many dramas produced by Huanrui. From ancient costumes to modern youth, she can deliver stable performances in almost every work. Her advantage is not “stunning” or “stealing the show”, but being able to accurately understand the role positioning, make good supplements and comparisons outside the main line, and make the plot more layered. Although the audience has a lot of complaints about the saying of “Huanrui’s supporting role”, Wang Herun’s control of the role has always been clear and in place.
Rather than saying that everyone “hates Wang Herun”, it is better to say that they are tired of the script design with unbalanced supporting roles and unreasonable character settings. On the contrary, the performance tasks she completed in it were relatively solid and professional.
2. Step out of the comfort zone and challenge the new theme of detective stories in the Republic of China
In addition to continuing to cooperate with Huanrui, Wang Herun will also have a new project to be launched recently. It is reported that she will participate in the Republic of China detective drama 《京城奇探》, which is expected to be officially launched in the middle of this month. This is a new attempt with a different style from the past, and it is also an opportunity for her to expand her acting range.
Detective dramas require actors to have stronger logical expression and rhythm control, and also test the integration of the role with the overall plot. Whether Wang Herun can take this opportunity to refresh the audience’s impression and gain more recognition is worth looking forward to.
