I don't know when it started, the set of the domestic fairy drama became marble floor tiles, European-style coffee tables and Roman columns, and even the costumes of the immortals were few and plain, without the slightest fairy atmosphere, let alone represent Chinese aesthetics.
Every time I see this kind of drama, Xiao 8 will turn the 86th version of "Journey to the West" out and wash his eyes.
Obviously, at that time, the conditions were worse, the investment was less, and the service road of the whole drama was also very cheap, but the audience could feel the strong Chinese flavor and mythological color, which is the difference between intentional and perfunctory.
The current drama is not only perfunctory in the set, but also perfunctory in casting.
The film and television industry was kidnapped by the "white and thin" Japanese and Korean aesthetics, and the actors marketed "high-end faces" outside the play, and as a result, the original shape was revealed as soon as the costume was filmed, which has the slightest look of a Chinese beauty.
And facts have proved that what can stand the test of time has never been the "high-class face" boasted by Europe and the United States and the "white and thin" sought after by Japan and South Korea.
Looking at the comparison photos of the actress of "Journey to the West", I know that Chinese aesthetics are the best!
First of all, the king of the daughter country who attracted the hearts of all the audience, even today, 37 years later, Zhu Lin's beauty is rare.
Not to mention that director Yang Jie will choose people, the actress she found is not only beautiful, but also very suitable for the role.
When she played the king, Zhu Lin was already in her early 30s, showing the tenderness and gentleness of the character, but not showing frivolity, and the whole person was full of mature rhyme.
In that era without beauty and filters, Zhu Lin's beauty was real, and she was not inferior when she walked out of the screen.
It's a pity that Zhu Lin has not been able to pass on good genes in her life, but at the age of 71 this year, she is still so elegant and dignified, which is enviable.
The second is the Halloween Princess, when Xiao 8 was chasing the drama, he was very puzzled, the Halloween Princess is so beautiful, even if she is not with the white dragon horse, how can she fancy the nine-headed worm?
Zhang Qing, who plays the Halloween Princess, is an actress and model, and later also acted constantly, and also set up her own clothing company and advertising agency, a proper strong woman.
Although Zhang Qing is a little blessed today, he has more mature charm than when he was young, and he is a typical "Guotai Minan" face, which shows that the years have never defeated beauty.
The third is Chang'e fairy, she is also the most beautiful Chang'e in Xiao 8's heart, different from Zhu Lin's tenderness and Zhang Qing's spirit, Qiu Pening is very cold and arrogant and elegant, and she is really a fairy who does not eat human fireworks.
Looking at her smile and every move, it is completely understandable that Marshal Tiancang moved Chang'e's heart!
However, Chang'e is also the only role of Qiu Pening, after acting in "Journey to the West", she went to work hard in the business world, and is now already a valuable chairman.
Qiu Pening seems cold, but in fact she is warm-hearted, she and her husband have donated 107 Hope Primary Schools, and won the "Outstanding Contribution Award" of the Hope Project.
Next is the mother of the Tang monk who does not have many scenes, but makes the audience remember deeply - Yin Wenjiao.
The actor who plays Yin Wenjiao is named Ma Lan, who was originally a Huangmei opera actor, so her eye play is particularly good, and her gestures reveal everyone's beautiful demeanor.
It is said that beauty is not in the bones, Maran is a typical pale bone beauty, after removing the exquisite makeup, Ma Lan in life is even fresher.
Ma Lan eventually came together with the famous writer Yu Qiuyu, the two did not give birth to children, and Ma Lan, who is now 60 years old, also looks exceptionally young, and is a temperamental grandmother that can be seen at a glance in the crowd.
The 86th version of "Journey to the West" can be described as a full beauty, and even He Qing, who has performed all four famous books, is not particularly outstanding in it, but the audience also has an impression of the lively and cute pity.
In recent years, He Qing has gradually withdrawn from the film and television industry, and only occasionally attends some events.
To be honest, although she is nearly 60 years old, He Qing's appearance is really not much different from when she was young, and the only change is that her temperament has changed from young to calm.
The sixth place is the "Miss Gao" Gao Cuilan who is fascinated by Zhu Bajie in the mortal world, she is the same as Yin Wenjiao, the mother of the Tang monk, she is a typical lady, calm and heavy with the delicate beauty of a little woman, very moving.
Gao Cuilan's actor is named Wei Huili, she is a Peking Opera actor, her eyes are smart and her posture is beautiful, not only can play the dignified Gao Cuilan, but also plays the Sun Wukong version of Gao Cuilan very well.
Today's Wei Huili is a national actor, and at the age of nearly 70, she is still dignified and beautiful, elegant and atmospheric, and her charm is no less than it was back then.
Next is the jade rabbit essence that every little girl imitated in her childhood, listening to the cheerful melody "Tianzhu Girl", who doesn't want to dance with Li Lingyu?
Director Yang Jie's most sincere place is that she not only expresses the exotic style, but also integrates Chinese aesthetics well into it, and does not really use other cultures to fill in the plot.
Thick-faced beauties are originally not very resistant to aging, but Li Lingyu's maintenance is very good, and when she is nearly 60 years old, she dresses as a jade rabbit essence, and there is no sense of violation.
In addition to the gentle daughter king of the country, the cold Chang'e fairy, and the agile jade rabbit spirit, there are also white bone essences with a ruthless style and deep scheming in "Journey to the West".
Yang Chunxia, who plays the white bone essence, is also a Peking Opera actress, she is very good at expressing the character, and even her eyes are full of ambition and coercion.
However, Yang Chunxia in life is very gentle, she rarely appears in front of the audience at the age of nearly 80, and her gorgeous hair cannot cover her elegance and charm, and I wish the elderly good health!
Why do audiences always miss "Journey to the West" and the previous film and television industry?
It is because today's film and television industry has become more and more unChinese!
Many of the traffic stars who occupy the film and television industry market have gone to South Korea as trainees, and are deeply influenced by Korean aesthetics, and they are more Korean in style than one in style.
Let's just say that some time ago during the International Fashion Week, there were so many stars who went abroad to participate in the fashion week, but no one showed Chinese style.
Aidou Choi Xukun went to watch the show with blonde hair, but was recognized by fans outside the venue as South Korean actor Kwon Ji Ryong, and the whole audience was calling Kwon Ji Ryong's name, which is simply not too embarrassing.
Supermodel Liu Wen returned to the international show after three years, which was originally worth boasting about, but this "squinting" makeup of her catwalk, Xiao 8 really can't appreciate it, is this fashion in the eyes of foreigners?
Little Song Jia also incarnated as the Asian version of Kim Kardashian, wrapped herself in tights from head to toe, and matched with a pair of sunglasses, that is, this body is too small and lacks aura.
Xiao Song Jia's set of styling has also been unanimously praised by foreign media, but this style can only be shown abroad, and it must not be crushed in minutes on the domestic red carpet?
Cheng Xiao is also a typical Korean aesthetic fan, beauty is beautiful, but there is no soul, let alone memory points, seems very familyish.
Zhou Dongyu is also a typical white and thin, and it can be seen that she is trying hard to cater to the "high-end face" respected by Europe and the United States, but the effect is just like that.
The only thing with Chinese charm in the audience is the supermodel Cuckoo.
Putting together Cai Xukun, who caters to Korean aesthetics, and cuckoo, which shows Chinese aesthetics, it is clear which of the two aesthetics is more atmospheric and natural.
Over the years, influenced by the Japanese entertainment Korean wave and European and American "fashion", the film and television industry has become more and more unpresentable.
In the past, there was "My Name is Liu Jinfeng", which ate sushi, wore clogs, and wore kimonos for all the staff, and then there was "Shang Food", which can be called the Chinese version of "Da Changjin", and the Chinese aesthetic in costume dramas has become more and more faint.
But the audience's eyes are snowy, can stand the test of time, there will always be only inclusive Chinese aesthetics, and I hope that the subsequent domestic dramas will stop engaging in Korean styling and return to Chinese aesthetics as soon as possible!
