Yang Yang's "And Try the World" is coming, I don't know if it can be a big explosion.
But as far as the current updated episodes are concerned, the plot of "And Try the World" is still bright and the pace is still relatively tight.
The story genre blends costumes, romance and martial arts.
The world is divided into seven points, the imperial family is respected, and the Xuanji Order orders the six states, but the Xuanji Order disappears, causing the world to rise up, intending to chase the deer in the Central Plains and achieve the imperial hegemony.
Black Fengxi and Bai Fengxi were involved in this torrent, involving the huge power and behind-the-scenes conspiracy of the temple and the jianghu, and they frothed each other in the rivers and lakes, and after more than ten years, they became a pair of Bi people.
Compared with "Knife Line in the Snow", the action scenes of "And Try the World" deserve some praise, at least not so much pretentious slow motion.
Although it is an effect made with the help of martial arts, quick editing and post-special effects, the look and feel is smooth and beautiful, and the martial arts design is also above the passing line.
It's just that every fight has to put a piece of background music, which covers the metal sound of weapons colliding, the hand-to-hand combat sound of fists and feet intersecting, and there are some points lost overall.
Perhaps it is because the current costume drama has become some kind of tool, only used to make money, not to pay attention to artistry.
Even if it is adapted from different novels, homogenization is still particularly serious, and some problems are still not changed even if they are talked about many times.
After all, you can make money by coping casually, and who wants to bother?
"And Try the World" has committed four common problems of domestic costume dramas in recent years, but this is not the fault of "And Try the World", but the domestic costume dramas in recent years are all this virtue.
First, both the lead actor and the supporting role are tender and whiten their faces.
The excessive beauty in the play makes all beings missing, and under the same makeup and soft light filter, the male and female actors are fair-skinned and can be broken, and the dim cabins can't block the white light emitted from their faces.
It's not that it's not advisable to make the character's makeup white.
After all, the audience's aesthetic is not static, and it is not always possible to demand the current people with the eyes of many years ago.
However, the makeup of the character must always meet the environment and age requirements in the play, rather than casually and simply for the beauty of the actor, and even ignore the logic.
In terms of actor makeup, domestic costume dramas in recent years should really learn from the 2001 version of "Smiling Proud of the River".
Although the six immortals of Peach Valley in the play are almost interesting in appearance, these six people can be remembered at a glance, and the black can show the wind and sun of their walking in the rivers and lakes.
It is impossible that the background in the play is not a fairy, the plot says that a certain character has been wandering the world for decades, and after returning, he is still like a teenager.
However, there was no trace of his skin being sunburned, and the years and the sun seemed to be extra gentle to him, as if he had practiced the art of rejuvenation.
This level of jianghu wandering should be from one room to another boudoir, otherwise even if you are naturally handsome, you have to be a little darker.
If there is not even this common sense, then there is only one possibility, that is, to push the pot to the makeup artist, and it is his unprofessionalism that makes the drama flawed.
Second, the costumes are all black and white gray.
This is to imagine the ancient people from the perspective of modern people, rather than to depict their habits and dress from the standpoint of the ancient people.
Although "And Try the World" is an overhead history, there are many similar examples in the past, as long as you learn some of the ingenuity of "Langya List", such a common disease will not exist again.
In Su Youpeng's version of "Yitian Slaughtering Dragon", Zhou Zhiruo, Xiao Zhao, Zhao Min, and Yin Li, four characters, four kinds of beauty, four kinds of clothing.
Although they are not wearing any silk satin and the workmanship is not exquisite, the different colors highlight their different personalities.
And this rough feeling looks very comfortable, there is no pursuit of beautiful formalism, the colors are diverse and unified, distinct and concise, giving the audience the most real visual and emotional feelings.
Third, the shape is copied and pasted.
Generally speaking, a person's hairstyle can show a person's personality, and previous costume dramas have been well versed in it.
In the case of "Tales of Wulin", different hairstyles represent different occupations and styles of behavior of the characters, even if it is a ridiculous comedy, it is not perfunctory
Old white long hair flowing, because he is handsome, love stinky beauty; big mouth short hair inch, because he does not pay attention to hygiene, cooking in the kitchen; Xiu cai tied his hair, because he worked on the desk, Sven is exquisite;
Tong's treasurer is coiled because she does not know how to dress up, so it is easy to take care of; Xiao Guo ties her hair, because she is a miscellaneous, more conducive to sweeping the floor and wiping the table; Xiao Bei has no theme, because her hairstyle is responsible for Xiao Guo.
In contrast, the current costume drama has a thousand faces and is unchanged.
Men are all tied hair crowns, women are all figure eight, even after they suffer and suffer, the hairstyle will not change, the degree of sturdiness is comparable to Lin Junjie's iron bangs.
In "And Test the World", this situation has not changed.
Not only does it continue the common disease in terms of styling, but it also commits another common disease, that is, the protagonist in the play is too far away from others.
The protagonists are spotless, and the others are rags and linen, like fairies under mortal dust, and are not of the same kind as mortals, this sense of separation makes it difficult to have a sense of substitution.
In the play, one is a prince and the other is a princess.
They are not a class at all with ordinary people, and it is normal to dress more than ordinary people.
But after the white wind and the black harvest were separated, they took the children all the way to eat and sleep, eat wild vegetables and eat stomachs, drink dirty water from the ravine, sleep on the grass mats of the temple, blow the sun, and leak wind from the four walls.
The clothes were still the same, but there was not a speck of dust on her body.
It can be understood that she washed halfway but the plot did not need to be released, but Bai Fengxi, as a princess of a country, is clean and self-sufficient, how can she only wear underwear in front of a child.
Even if Bai Fengxi's clothes are slightly dirty and the image is slightly depressed, it can also be integrated with the environment in the play.
This looks more realistic, and combined with the child's spit, the contrasting funny effect will be more significant, I don't know what the director thinks.
In "Peacock Plume", the protagonist will change according to the different personalities, different environments, and costumes and makeup.
For example, Shi Xiaolong was the autumn phoenix of the Peacock Villa, Aya Luo silk; when he became a roadside restaurant, he became a small wu in a roadside restaurant, coarse cloth linen.
When Mu Tingting was Qiu Fengwu's wife, Fengguan Xia, when she became a cold-faced killer, ordinary people, this change at least makes the character's disguise not contradictory, and the audience looks more comfortable.
It's just that this kind of invaluability has become a rare sight, after the domestic modern drama has no poor, the domestic costume drama is white.
Fourth, the play has lost its chivalry and has no jianghu atmosphere.
Costume dramas are less live-action shooting, and more scenes are filmed in the studio, which looks modern.
Perhaps it is the director's aesthetic deficiency, the assembly line production of the props group, so that a TV series known as a martial arts drama has lost its chivalry and has no jianghu atmosphere.
What is chivalry? What is jianghu?
Chivalry is chivalrous tenderness, righteousness, pleasing to the eye and flowing water, rather than selling cute and feminine kitsch.
The jianghu is the greatest of the heroes, for the country and the people, or to save the clan, restore the gate sect, promote martial arts, continue to learn from the saints, and open up peace for all the worlds.
But now the so-called martial arts dramas are only left with love in the guise of martial arts, which is essentially an idol drama.
This can't be blamed on "And Try the World", it is the status quo of this industry, it should be new things to change, can not always be so dirty.
