After "Fu Shao", Yang Mi's another costume drama "Lady Hu Zhu" was launched. Nowadays, if the quality of the drama is too good, it may be able to become a hit, but according to the current situation, there are too many problems with "Lady Huozhu".
First, Yang Mi's original vocal lines are too harsh
Yang Mi's original voice, I believe the audience is not strangers. Usually listening to it in a variety show, I don't think there is anything, but her voice is placed in the costume drama, which seems very contrary.
In the early days, Yang Mi played a 15-year-old ignorant girl, and we will not say how the state of the face is.
Perhaps in order to fit the girlish feeling of the role, Yang Mi has been pinching his throat to speak, and his voice is particularly sharp, and it is harsh to say bluntly. This problem has also been widely criticized by the audience who watched the play.
Yang Mi is better than using voice actors, Yang Mi's two most classic characters, Harukawa and Feng Xueqing, are both from qiao shiyu's mouth, and Bai Qian is voiced by Ji Guanlin.
Or, find some younger voice actors, and use a more character-friendly young voice line, which is better than using Yang Mi's original voice.
Moreover, Yang Mi's line skills really dare not compliment, after acting for such a long time, he still reads his lines like a college freshman who has just entered the acting department. Da Mi wants to make a breakthrough in the career, and the business ability should be strengthened!
2. Serving the road is perfunctory
On the one hand, it is the set in the play. The courtyard in the play adopts a "dry landscape" style garden landscape. In fact, it is to put a few stones and lay some white sand. It is Japanese style.
But every time this landscape appears in a costume drama, it makes the whole set look very small. Is the Chinese garden not good enough? Why Japanese style? Many viewers were very dissatisfied with this.
On the other hand, it is the "cutout" that costume dramas love to use. The background is landscape, and the actor's head and body are directly pasted to the background, and the audience is fooled into saying: This is the background blur.
But the real background blur should be like in the TV series "Will Night". People and scenery have a strong sense of depth, the color of the picture is unified, and people are not suspended on the scene.
Of course, the film and television industry does have strange directors who make real scenes cut out, such as Wu Jinyuan. "You Fei" originally had few real scenes, but they were all filmed by Wu Jinyuan as a cut-out picture.
Little 8 flipped through the list of works of "Lady Hu Zhu" director Jinsha, good guys, not only did not pass one, but also one worse than one. And looking at the cast, almost all of them are from Jiaxing, so Jinsha, the royal director of Jiaxing, is at a worrying level!
3, the male protagonist is too ugly to dissuade
Chen Weiting's biggest problem is that he is not classical enough to be suitable for ancient costumes. In 2013, he participated in "Ancient Sword Qitan", and he was young, only 28 years old, and his costume was barely passable.
But now, he's 37 years old. Although Chen Weiting has been exercising for many years and has muscles, the puffiness of his face cannot be avoided.
In the first episode, there is a scene where Chen Weiting takes off his mask in front of the heroine. Maybe the director wanted to create a sense of surprise when the mask was taken off, and deliberately used slow motion.
Then the mask was taken off and the audience laughed: that's it? The big face plate is completely incompatible with the stunning, so let's put it on quickly.
In the past two years, Chen Weiting's face has been too seriously dented. Li Yifeng, who became popular at the same time as him and was one year younger, although he also had the problem of puffiness, as long as he lost weight, his face was still resistant to beating. Maybe this is the difference between moving faces and pure nature.

Chen Weiting's own state is not good, the stylist also designed a variety of ugly masks and ugly hoods for him, which simply made Chen Weiting's ugliness go up to a higher level. The shape groove is more mouthless, the small 8 is not much to say, you see for yourself.
4. The plot is bland and boring, and it is difficult to arouse the audience's enthusiasm for chasing the drama
A good drama, a good plot is the key. In short, you have to have a "plot point" to attract the curiosity of the audience and make people have the motivation to chase the drama.
At present, the relationship between the characters in "Lady Hu Zhu" is clearly explained, and there is no suspense at all. It is a matter of certainty that a man and a woman will change from master and apprentice to husband and wife.
In addition, the male second was injured, but the wound appeared on the male protagonist, and this setting is not new. In many film and television dramas, there are similar plots.
As for the male second and female second, it is also a clichéd "stand-in literature". The second male Xu Kaicheng likes the sister of the female second Chen Xiaohong, because Chen Xiaohong and his sister look exactly the same, so Xu Kaicheng falls in love with Chen Xiaohong.
So how will the plot develop next? The big frame audience can already guess eight or nine inseparable from ten. It is nothing more than that the heroine played by Yang Mi has been tempered and then embarked on the peak of life.
The big heroine routine is like this, then it is necessary to polish it well in the details of the plot. Obviously, the screenwriter is also the original author of the novel of the play, Xiao Ruser, who does not have this ability.
In fact, the plot of the original novel is even more outrageous, the male protagonist is a eunuch, and the female protagonist has feelings, and the emperor is also ambiguous...
5, the most fatal problem - the official match in the play has no sense of CP
A costume idol drama, you can have a non-rigorous plot, you can serve the road perfunctory, but your male and female protagonists must have a sense of CP! Otherwise, what do the girls who chase the drama want?
Boys don't watch ancient dolls, and female audiences want to see a pair of heartwarming, fawn-in sweet CPs in the play.
At present, Yang Mi's heartbeat has been very routine. Covering her face, shouting shyly, her eyes fluttering, no way, she is so impressed with every male protagonist.
Chen Weiting is even more confusing, usually always with a face, completely paralyzed. Suddenly jealous, completely unable to see the progressive logic of emotions.
In fact, the male and female protagonists do not have a sense of CP, so they should work the male and female bodies. When "Long Song Line" was first broadcast, Wu Lei partnered with Reba, and was even complained that it was "aunt and nephew love", completely "bumpy".
But unexpectedly, Zhao Lusi and Liu Yuning's "Hao Yan CP" killed the siege, the sweet setting of poor body shape, poor height, and princess falling in love with the bodyguard made the audience shout "I'm dead"!
Even if Liu Yuning and Zhao Lusi did not carry out real-life business outside the play, they still made the audience want to stop, which is the magical CP sense!
"Lady Hu Zhu" also seems to want to start from the secondary line of male two female two, even the hot search terms are ready, did not expect to click into the comment area, are spitting Xu Kaicheng looks ugly, which is embarrassing.
Since the beginning of "Fu Shao", there have been voices saying that the dramas starring Yang Mi are always "throwing the street". This is really not a singing down, we speak with data.
2018's "Fu Sha", a huge costume production, 94,000 ratings.
2019's "Dream Building" can be said to be the super Waterloo in Yang Mi's works, with only 23,000 ratings.
In 2020's "Eye of the Storm", fans said that the theme was too niche, and in the end it was only rated by 54,000 people.
In the case of not considering that someone brushes the score, the number of people who have seen Yang Mi's drama and are willing to score is not too few. Compare that with Yang Mi's employee Di Li Reba.
2020's "Three Lives and Three Pillow Books", rated by 310,000 people.
"Happiness, within reach" broadcast in the same year, this drama is not yet popular with fans (understand everything), but there are also 100,000 netizen ratings.
"Long Song Line" and "You Are My Glory" have more ratings, more than 230,000 and more than 360,000 respectively.
Now, the audience volume of Yang Mi and Di Li Reba has been so big a gap?
Not to say that 85 flowers can't play ancient dolls, but good villains also want the audience to see a little surprise. Since Yang Mi can't act now, then be herself, after all, she is still quite pleasing in the variety show.
