Mo Jun loves to watch costume dramas very much, and one of the reasons he loves is to appreciate the words and deeds of the ancients and the style and backbone.
Wen Tao's martial strategy, love and hate, whether it is the martial arts jianghu or the three realms of immortals, in the background of the story far away from reinforced concrete, there is more malleability.
Who doesn't love that "turbid world flying good boy" and "gorgeous and beautiful person"...
But lately, I was amused by a costume drama.
The White Wind Xi Woman, who is admired by everyone in the jianghu, is played by Zhao Lusi. Let's not talk about how inappropriate this actor is.
The two "blind" behaviors that appear in the play are quite speechless.
The styling fools the audience
- The first time: a gray-headed face with delicate makeup
Bai Fengxi encountered the Imperial Dynasty (one of the four princes of the Jianghu) in the barren mountains and wild mountains. Because I was made gray by children when I grilled fish before, when I first saw the dynasty, this was what it looked like:
There is a thin layer of gray on the forehead and cheeks, but it does not affect the appearance at all.
As for letting the Gongzi Dynasty say this: If the girl is willing to wash her face, let me see the true face of Lushan...
It was how blind it was that I couldn't see the girl's face.
Before leaving, the imperial dynasty learned that she was Bai Fengxi, and also said: It seems that we are all confused by the four words of the style and glory, thinking that she must be a beautiful woman.
The official complaint was the most deadly, and for a moment I didn't know what to say.
In the play, Bai Fengxi is set to be a beautiful woman, but just by painting a little ash on her face, he can't recognize the true face, and only uses a sentence of "worthy of being the world's first strange woman" to make a conclusion about her appearance.
The Imperial Dynasty believed that her appearance under black and gray was far from that of a peerless beauty.
This is the logic of the plot setting.
However, although Zhao Lusi's appearance is high, she does not conform to the temperament of a gorgeous and peerless beauty, whether there is black ash or not, it is a small family jasper appearance.
This is the actor's temperament is not in line with the plot logic at all, but it is consistent with the imperial spit.
So I am quite entangled in this complaint of the imperial dynasty.
On the one hand, is it so difficult to create a sense of contrast in the role on the makeup?
At least it must be blackened into the above, so as not to be seen by the other party (this face is Lin Yun's).
Let's say that Zhao Lusi's ash is also too evenly stained, just applied to the forehead and cheeks, and the collar is not dirty. The physics teacher sighed when he saw it.
When the ash flew up, it was a special effect, and the makeup was completely illogical, and it could only deceive the imperial dynasty with bad eyes in the play.
- The second time: the fall of the country only needs to change the color?
In the play, the male protagonist Feng Lanxi, in order to repay Bai Fengxi's life-saving grace, borrowed the reason to buy clothes for his cousin, so that the heroine changed into a luxurious dress.
He thought that Bai Fengxi's light purple clothes were not compatible with the fall of the country.
After being dragged hard by the maids to change their clothes, Bai Fengxi, who fell into the country, appeared.
Yang Yang's eyes seemed to be seeing through the bride coming out of the wedding dress...
Naturally, the audience also can't wait to see how amazing Zhao Lusi is after changing his clothes.
As a result, that's it...
Is there a big difference between that and the dress just now?
Almost exactly the same style, but with a little hanging ornament on the shoulder and a change of color. But the hairstyle is a little more feminine.
I wasn't alone, and the barrage was full of black question mark faces.
It is difficult for the boss of Ruyuxuan to try to explain: This is made of Snow Cloud Yarn...
Maybe the material of the clothes is more flowing.
Or is it consistent with the question just said, why not be able to use your heart on the shape to create a sense of contrast?
Not only to show the heroine's usual atmospheric and bold side, but also to quietly change clothes to amaze everyone, from the beginning to the end of the dull shape, completely did not achieve the effect.
Neither pompous nor stunning.
It is suitable for playing the mane in the fairy tale drama.
Speaking of stunning, it is better to refer to the red dress style of "Rumored Chen Qianqian":
Even the sassy shape is much better than in "And Try the World".
People are just a small cost web drama, although the clothes and headwear are cheap, the stylist's aesthetic is completely online. Cool when it's cool, beautiful when it's beautiful, makeup follows people.
Why can't an S+ drama do it?
The ugly hood pulls down the value
Yang Yang is one of the most suitable actors in the same age group to play a beautiful man in ancient costumes, with a sword eyebrow and a star eye, and excellent bone appearance. He also has a tall figure, and as soon as the whole person stands there, he is the noble prince Fan of Yushu Linfeng.
But why in "And Try the World", his face became like this:
The pentagonal face, narrow eyes, rounded jaw angles, completely unrelated to the beautiful man. It doesn't look very smart either.
So do you see what's wrong?
Hoods and headdresses!
Yang Yang's original forehead is like this:
The forehead is broad and flattened, and the facial features form a golden ratio. It is said that such a forehead is very suitable for the "beauty tip" hood.
However, the amount of hair in the hood in the play is too small, the crest of the skull is flattened, and the hairline is also pressed a little low.
The headdress on the top of the head is too short to make a person who is one meter eight look like one meter seven.
With these stylistic failures, the polished filter added bricks and tiles, resulting in blurred facial contours and perfectly covering the advantages of Yang Yang's three-dimensional facial features.
The silkworms were all torn away by this terrible hood:
However, Yang Yang has some shapes in the play that are OK. When the hair is not fully tied up, due to the thicker top of the skull and the hood does not pull the skin of the face, the facial features will return to his original appearance.
Although the outline of this scene shot on location is still relatively blurry, at least the crouching silkworm has returned.
Peach blossom eyes are the advantage of Yang Yang's facial features, without the sleeping silkworm, the eyes will look a little round. I don't believe it, see if there is a difference between a crouching silkworm and a non-lying silkworm on it.
As for the style of the hair bunch, there is one in the play, all of which are pentagonal faces.
The four princes in front of them were all pulled into the pit by the ugly hair cover.
The last big brother, actor Zhang Tianyang, does not look like this.
In other dramas, he obviously looks very handsome, and the difference is the amount of hair on the top of his head:
The biggest difference between costume dramas and modern dramas is that costume dramas especially test the aesthetic vision of stylists.
From the style of clothing, to the fit and makeup of the headgear hair accessories, every detail must be taken care of, otherwise it is easy to enlarge the actor's facial defects, or run counter to the plot.
For example, Wang Yifei, who played the young lord of Qingqiu in "Acquaintance with Junchu", failed to match his hair ornaments, appearing to have a wide face and a short neck, and his appearance was seriously declining.
In "Fragrant Honey Sinks Like Frost", her appearance is like this:
In "Long Moon Ember Ming", her appearance is like this:
Avoiding the lack of actors' face shapes, highlighting the advantages with hairstyles and costumes, and setting off the temperament of people are the aesthetic basic exercises that every costume stylist should have.
The misunderstanding of casting
Finally, I still want to talk about the casting of this drama.
As mentioned earlier, the role of Bai Fengxi makes Zhao Lusi play inappropriate, not because Zhao Lusi is not beautiful enough.
Her appearance is already the first echelon in the 90 small flowers of internal entertainment, and she looks very distinctive, belonging to the kind of beauty with high recognition.
But the idea that temperament limits the play is not nonsense.
Zhao Lusi has an enviable collagen face, water spirit eyes, small lips, giving people an intuitive feeling of cute and sweet, and even a little fat (in fact, she is very thin, all because of the face too Q).
This temperament is more suitable for playing the heroine of the attributes of lively, naïve, well-behaved, cute, willful, eccentric and other attributes. For example, Chen Qianqian and Li Leyan.
And Bai Fengxi is a heroine who walks in the rivers and lakes, and the character personality in the original work is transparent and eclectic. And there is a pair of eyes that know people.
Limited by temperament and body shape, Zhao Lusi is difficult to perform a dashing and open-minded taste, spitting out a fruit core is a delicate and cute look:
Not to mention the broad-minded and extremely tolerant male protagonist.
Lu Xiran's voice is to detract from the character again, speaking weakly, the front is heavy and the back is light, and the last few words are almost inaudible.
It was hard to imagine how she would perform the heroic and free momentum of Bai Fengxi's conquest of the battlefield in the later stage.
epilogue
Some viewers said that Yang Yang was "holding" again, and there was nothing wrong with Feng Lanxi's role, but he could not appear that kind of expression that was too jumpy, and "Wudong Qiankun" was a failure example.
In "And Try the World", Yang Yang has several times to pretend to be weak and it is quite painful, and you can try the sick petite type in the future.
This drama produced by S+ can be seen to have made a lot of effort, and the action design and mirror movement are aesthetically pleasing.
The background structure is very large, strategy, martial arts, and romance, but there is no clear context, which is equivalent to rain and dew being evenly dipped and falling into a mediocrity.
To blame, blame this drama to change the male protagonist too great and bright, and the female protagonist has also changed some weaker. Originally, it was a strong rush, and the female protagonist was more tolerant of the male protagonist's nonsense, but now it is the opposite.
Mo Jun has no aversion to this kind of Mary Sue plot of per capita master, unfortunately, the makeup style of the actor is not careful enough, as if as long as he relies on an original IP, invited to the actors who are familiar with everyone, you can casually make a fuss without having to consider the details.
Fan filters are only a small part after all, if you want to shoot the drama on fire, how can you rely on the flow of actors and large production funds alone, and the stylist's aesthetics must also be online!
