Photograph the century-old school uniform changes
Travel through time and space to show the beauty of youth
When talking about how she first thought of being a video blogger, Blossom Flower Forest recalled that when she was in college, she liked to watch videos, and there were many classmates around her who were shooting vlogs, so she also wanted to try. Initially, The Flower Forest was just a matter of filming some daily life, and the video response was mediocre.
By chance, The Flower Forest saw photos of China's century-old school uniform changes on the Internet, and was deeply moved by the youthful beauty of students wearing school uniforms and the vitality of the nation.
"At that time, I thought, why not shoot a video to show the changes in China's century-old school uniforms, and match the actions and looks of my own design according to the character settings that conform to the background of the times?" This is a more immersive viewing experience that travels through time and space. ”

From the uniforms of Beijing Peihua Girls' Middle School in the 1910s, to the civilized new clothes of the May Fourth Movement in the 1920s, to the green clothes of the 1960s... Interpreting the changes of school uniforms in China in the past century, whether it is the time span or the number of school uniforms, it has increased the difficulty and challenge of shooting videos. Although the media on the Internet have sorted out some of the school uniform materials of the era, it is not complete.
Therefore, The flower forest took out the seriousness of writing papers, searched for text materials and old photos related to the background of the times by searching the Internet, consulting books, etc., and then looked for photos related to students from old photos. Search as much as you can and verify multiple sources.

In order to find clothing that meets the sense of the times, The Flower Forest ran several times to the old goods market to "shop for goods", and also contacted the owners of the old clothes through the Internet to buy. "What impressed me the most was a linen-textured dress, and at first I couldn't find the same one until I saw a seller selling her grandmother's clothes on a second-hand website. Mai is particularly age-old, and the moment I get the clothes, I enter the role. ”
Fortunately, the efforts of the flower forest were not in vain, and the video "The Beauty of Youth in Chinese School Uniforms in the Hundred Years of Change from 1920 to 2020" quickly went out of the circle, and the video received more than 4.13 million views on Station B. Netizens exclaimed: "Too restorative! Many netizens also sighed: "In the vicissitudes of a hundred years, compulsory education allows more people to read." Through the change of school uniforms, feel the beauty of students' youth and the development of the country. ”
Interpret the women's makeup and hair of "Dream of the Red Chamber"
Let more people understand traditional Chinese culture
Ancient Chinese makeup reflects the classical beauty of subtlety, white as jade, thrushed eyebrows, black and clean. Because of its interest and love for traditional culture, The Flower Forest began to look for topics from ancient Chinese classics for video creation.
Lin Daiyu, who is tall and arrogant, Xue Baochao, who is elegant in demeanor, Wang Xifeng, who has sharp teeth... In the latest video" "Classic Beauty : Group Portrait of a Woman", Blossom Flower Forest reinterprets the classic characters in the video through the makeup and hair accessories of the nine characters in the 1987 version of "Dream of the Red Chamber". In the video, Lin Daiyu, played by Flower Flower Forest, has a frown of affection and frowns like light smoke, which makes many viewers instantly think of the image of Lin Daiyu in the original work, "double like crying is not crying with bare eyes".
However, for The Flower Forest, who had not studied makeup in the class, she spent more than a month studying makeup and hair. "There is a big difference between classical makeup and daily makeup, and the most important thing is how to draw the eyebrows of the characters. Taking the group portrait of the dream of the Red Chamber as an example, the makeup of ancient women is not uniform, but there are many subtle changes. Modern makeup strives to highlight the facial features, while the traditional aesthetics of ancient times are more focused on calm and solemnity. I first carefully read the novel "Dream of the Red Chamber" and looked for the original description related to makeup. Then, I compared the makeup of the 1987 version of the "Dream of the Red Chamber" TV series and searched the Internet for the teaching video of the makeup artist of the original drama. Most of the costumes in my videos were custom-made by a master in the store. ”
How to reflect the classical charm and better fit the female characters in "Dream of the Red Chamber"? "I pay special attention to the sense of ceremony and charm when shooting, and I feel that my acting skills still need to be improved." Duo Hualin said, "Baochao's personality is very dignified, his personality is considerate of the overall situation, his emotions are stable, and in fact, he has high requirements for performance. If you don't pay attention, the expression in the video is easy to stiffen. In addition, the fierceness that Needs to be revealed in Wang Xifeng's eyes is very different from the flower forest that graduated from college. By figuring out the plot of the original work, The Flower Forest conveys its personality with a demeanor. Because of entering the role, when she first finished filming the Dai Yu clip, she did not consciously raise her eyebrows when she spoke.
