Recently, Wang Jing and Zhang Min have cooperated again in 28 years on the hot search, as a classic combination of the golden age of Hong Kong films, as long as their names appear together, they can evoke the "emotional filter" of a large number of people.
The most famous collaboration between the two is the 1993 film version of "The Demon Sect Leader of the Dragon Slayer in the Heavens", which is widely known by fans as one of the four beautiful female shots in Hong Kong, and the source of "Zhang Min's Look back" is here.
So much so that for so many years there have been people "urging" movie sequels.
Now the new version of "Yitian Slaughtering Dragon" has finally been put on the agenda, and the actors have changed blood throughout, and Zhang Wuji's father and son are played by 43-year-old Lin Feng and 52-year-old Gu Tianle.
The suitability of the casting is not to say, as soon as the stills are released, many people complain, the filter is too big, and the three female protagonists together can't tell Zhao Min, Zhou Zhiruo and Xiao Zhao at all.
Coincidentally, the domestic drama "Being the Housewife" broadcast some time ago was also controversial, and the filter skin grinding in the play also triggered many netizens to discuss.
Several female protagonists are actors that everyone is very familiar with, in this poster, the three generations of actors in the old, middle and young generations have been handled almost the same, and the boiled egg-like skin can not see a single flaw.
The lead actors Jiang Qinqin and Yang Rong were beautiful women with very personal characteristics in ancient costumes, but the excessive filter processed the faces of the two of them as featureless and blurred, as if they had retired from the actor to the Internet red face.
Regarding the question of the later stage, "Being the Housewife" is not an isolated case, and for the excessive dependence on filters and skin grinding, domestic dramas are indeed the hardest hit areas.
When it comes to catastrophic filters, unless you don't watch or pay attention to domestic dramas at all, there will always be a few nominations in your head.
It seems that skin polishing and face repair have become the standard of domestic dramas, and we can divide the "death filters" on the market into the following categories:
Beauty filters that take away all the details
For example, the egg skin of the character Yishui in "Lady Hu Zhu" is smooth and wrinkle-free, and everyone's skin texture is as unified as the game character modeling shares a set of data;
Li Jiahang, who made a cameo appearance in "Witty First Half", also sent a Weibo to explain that his disappearing eye bags were the reason for the later stage, not plastic surgery;
A little further on, in the middle-aged oil drama "The Sea of Stars", which was ridiculed by the group, the character's girlhood was directly realized through the ten-level skin polishing beauty;
The actors themselves are already very resistant to aging, a plus filter and a skin, everyone is similar, but it seems to be no features.
Not to mention that these skins take away not only their fine lines, but also the expressions that are touched by the subtleties. Unified post-processing makes many acting skills that could not stand the test disappear with fine lines.
The whiter the better, preferably whiter than light
This is also extremely common in many ancient puppet dramas, and although Ju Jingyi's daily makeup is loved and affirmed by the public, the film and television dramas she participated in are still full of controversy.
Ju Jingyi acted from "The Legend of the New White Lady" to "Ruyi Fangfei" and "Mu Nanzhi", to this year's "Jia Nan Biography", each one must not only be polished, but also white.
"The Legend of the New White Lady" was launched by countless netizens to protest the "anti-filter", and the film side improved when faced, lowering the beauty level, but the actor's face is still blurred.
The effect of skin polishing and whitening must require the blessing of thick makeup, so many of her styles are always consistent in changing soups and not changing medicines, and even ridiculed by netizens, the whole drama is filmed with Meitu Xiuxiu.
Convergent deadly tones
In addition to the first two, the color tone is also a major factor in many domestic dramas, especially costume dramas.
The most representative series of costume dramas, such as the early "Palace" series, "Legend of Lu Zhen" and other dramas, the background is always golden, the character costumes and makeup are extremely saturated, and the dazzling rose red, fluorescent green, and royal blue frantically stimulate vision.
Later, suddenly came a 180-degree turn, launched the "Yanxi Raiders", this drama changed the usual high saturation, all the colors are gray, low saturation, which makes the audience who eat enough visual heavy taste like a breeze, with the "Shuangwen" plot, that year was also a fire.
Since then, "Sideburns are not begonia red", "Hao Lan Biography", "Yulou Chun" and now "Homemaker" series of dramas, there are good reputations, there are also like "Homewife" due to the long-term use of homogeneous filters, the audience complained.
Such a quality sign as the noonday sun, the costume drama produced by it was once ridiculed as black as if it looked like a mirror in a night.
Whether it is the original Arbor color, the later Morandi color, or the pursuit of the so-called sense of luxury, film tones that are camouflaged in the definition, deliberately suppress saturation and brightness to create an atmosphere. Why, exactly?
Filters, as a post-production technique, should have added icing on the cake to the series, but at present, it seems that excessive filters are not too carefully produced for their own works, which is even worse.
However, many film and television works do not seem to realize this, but instead rely more and more on filters.
In fact, the tone problem mentioned earlier, like the Morandi color system since "Yanxi Raiders", is not wrong in itself, and what goes astray is that when a certain work is recognized, the industry begins to imitate without principle.
This also seems to reflect the practitioner's lack of confidence in the work.
All performances and post-production should serve the plot, but without reflecting on the stereotyped script and superficial acting skills, but expecting filters and beautification to be able to "whitewash" the picture at the same time, covering up all creative deficiencies, this is the end of the upside down.
And when a play begins to use microdermabrasion, the successor is more and more unable to restrain, from the producer to the actor, it is possible to make demands on the post, to be whiter, younger, and preferably flawless.
This is the deformed aesthetic reverse corrosion creation of the white young, the abduction of the appearance of a character by age anxiety. The audience wants to see works that originate from life, but the creators spend money and time, trying their best to pinch a more unreal person.
Thinking back to some recent hot searches,
#康熙王朝播出20周年 #
#国产剧是不是真的退步 #
And a remake of #Paladin II #
In the discussion, there was no lack of nostalgia for various large and small characters in domestic dramas, and even many voices opposing the remake of the classic.
In that era, which has not yet been wrapped up in technology, the characters have their own appearance characteristics, different skin tones, different makeup, and the auxiliary image personality is more different, so it is easier to be remembered by the audience for a long time.
And the audience also understands that the current film and television works, the dependence on filter blessings, so that the script, acting, makeup, lighting these preliminary preparations are constantly degraded, while the constantly harsh industry aesthetic deformities and coercion also make the current film and television drama creators more and more confused mentality.
Oscar-winning actress Frances McDormand says her face is like a map, including wrinkles at the corners of her eyes and folds on her chin, and that if she changes it, she will lose her original character.
And excessive post-production like obsessive-compulsive disorder wears out not only flaws, but also subtleties about the character's personality and performance.
In today's increasingly high video clarity, what pushes the truth farther and farther away -
I believe that at this time,
Everyone already has the answer in mind.
