Recently, the first season of the costume drama "Sauvignon Blanc" starring Yang Zi ended perfectly, and the show has been at the top of the popularity list since its broadcast, and it is a well-deserved ratings dark horse this summer.
And the protagonists in the play have also become the center of hot topics, whether it is the emotional drama of one woman and multiple men, or the acting skills of the actors, they have become the focus of discussion by the audience.
In particular, Yang Zi's anti-string Minxiao Liuyi role has caused controversy.
In the play, Yang Zi wears dark gray coarse cloth narrow-leg pants, with a bit of funny and leisurely, and his words are also a little masculine and strong, like an image of a rough man. Compared with previous screen roles, this can be said to be a breakthrough for Yang Zi.
However, some netizens believe that Yang Zi's anti-string played by Minxiaoliu has problems such as excessive force and procedural performance.
Actresses have always been the highlight of film and television, and there have been impressive anti-string roles before.
For example, Lin Qingxia played by Dongfang Undefeated, Ye Tong's Xu Xian, Ye Xuan's Shangguan Haitang and so on.
Those classic anti-string characters have become a beautiful landscape on the screen, even if it has been a long time, it is unforgettable.
01. Lin Qingxia
In the movie "Smiling Rivers and Lakes", Lin Qingxia's role as the undefeated Oriental is a masterpiece.
This version of the Oriental is undefeated and arrogant without losing its chivalry, high and cold without losing warmth, coupled with the flexible and flowing wind, it is simply handsome to the bone.
Dongfang Undefeated is the leader of the Sun Moon God Sect, wearing a brick-red robe, with a grim expression, with a proud eye, and at the same time with a domineering air of self-respect.
Just in terms of external image, Lin Qingxia's grasp of the role has been half successful. And in interpretation, she touched the soul of the character of the undefeated in the East.
Oriental Undefeated was originally a cold-blooded representative, from expressions to movements, all revealed a ruthlessness, before the fight, he would also pick up a gourd, sideways to drink, somewhat a bit of game human meaning, reflecting his contempt for opponents.
When he met Ling Hu Chong, Dongfang Undefeated was half-masked and flew slowly, showing the mysterious sense of a martial arts master as soon as he appeared.
When Ling Hu Chong complained that Dongfang Undefeated had knocked over his wine jug, Dongfang Undefeated stood firmly on the tree in the distance, without saying a word, and a sense of indifference that refused to be thousands of miles away reached the audience's heart.
In addition to being arrogant, Lin Qingxia's Oriental Undefeated also shows a warm vein.
Especially the emotional drama between him and Ling Hu Chong, even in the face of a group of experts besieged, he couldn't help but show mercy to Ling Hu Chong's subordinates, when he threw the silver needle and flew towards Ling Hu Chong, he couldn't help but recall the past bits and pieces of the two, and quickly waved back the silver needle, and the affection in his eyes was overflowing.
Finally, in the fight with Ling Hu Chong, Dongfang Undefeated fell off the cliff, and when Ling Hu Chong held him in his arms and tried to save him, he had resentment and reluctance in his eyes, and finally pushed Ling Hu Chong away.
I have to say that the Oriental Undefeated played by Lin Qingxia has both chivalrous bones and tenderness, and the two are just right.
In fact, when Lin Qingxia was originally selected to play Dongfang Undefeated, Mr. Jin Yong was opposed, mainly because the Oriental Undefeated in the novel was male, and it was not appropriate for an actress to play it.
And Tsui Hark ignored Mr. Jin Yong's opposition and insisted on letting Lin Qingxia play, and as a result, the film won 34.46 million box office, ranking eighth in the local box office list that year, and Lin Qingxia became popular.
In addition to this role, Lin Qingxia also played a famous sword in the movie "Sword Laughter", from the eyes to the movements reveal the pride of a swordsman, not falling into the style of a man.
Tsui Hark once commented on Lin Qingxia's appearance: "Noble has a kind of handsomeness, more handsome than men." ”
It is precisely because of her salty and sweet androgynous style that she can perfectly handle both male and female characters.
02. Ye Tong
"Could it be that glance in the past life, just to see one side in this life..." Whenever the familiar melody sounds, everyone will think of the classic TV series "The Legend of the New White Lady", and Ye Tong's anti-string in the play can be described as a household name.
In his early acting career, Ye Tong won awards such as Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress at the Hong Kong Film Awards, and his influence in the film industry can be seen.
In the costume drama "Blue Sea Love", the heroine Yue Ying played by Ye Tong appeared as a woman pretending to be a man, she is kind and righteous, and has a bit of playfulness, which makes many audiences like Ye Tong's anti-string.
It is precisely because of this that when filming "The Legend of the New White Lady" later, Ye Tong was arranged by the director team to reverse Xu Xian.
Xu Xian in the play is a typical scholarly image, often wearing a blue clothes and plain clothes, his right hand is slightly raised, he is not in a hurry or slow to walk, he is polite in front of his sweetheart Bai Suzhen, and the details are very well mastered.
In the emotional scene with Bai Suzhen, Ye Tong handled it accurately and properly. When he had to part with Bai Suzhen under the pressure of Fahai, Ye Tong performed the heart-rending heart and lungs of parting with his lover through a reluctant expression, supplemented by slight crying, which moved the audience.
When Bai Suzhen was pressed under the Thunder Peak Tower, Xu Xian guarded the tower for many years, Ye Tong once again performed the feeling of the character's heart like a dead ash, only to see Xu Xian's expression sluggish and stunned, portraying the sense of loss of not seeing Bai Suzhen for a long time.
When "The Legend of the New White Lady" premiered in Taiwan, it won the overall championship in Taiwan at the same time that year, and Xu Xian played by Ye Tong became popular, and even many viewers thought that Ye Tong was a man, which shows that her acting skills are superb.
To this day, whenever talking about "The Legend of the New White Lady", the public will still sigh that Xu Xian of Ye Tong's anti-string and Bai Suzhen's played by Zhao Yazhi are so well matched, which shows from the side that Ye Tong's anti-string is very successful.
03. Wu Junru
Wu Junru on the screen is a typical image of a big sister, and most of the roles she plays are funny and exaggerated.
For example, Wu Daidi played in "Jackie Chan", and Ah Hua played in "Silly Big Sister Flipped the Madhouse", these roles are a bit funny.
I never thought that Wu Junru, who was used to playing the eldest sister, was also successful in the anti-string role in the movie "Twelve Golden Ducks".
Wu Junru worked with film superstars such as Tony Leung and Andy Lau in his early years, and then cooperated with Xing Ye to shoot the TVB comedy "Fighting Family", and the cooperation with a group of superstars made Wu Junru's acting skills improve a lot.
In the movie "Twelve Golden Ducks", Wu Junru starred in the male role of Zhang Jinlai. As soon as Wu Junru in the film appeared, he appeared in front of the audience with a neat short hair, and at the same time matched with dark clothes, allowing the audience to directly feel the style of the young man.
Zhang Jinlai is a person who has suffered a heavy emotional loss, he avoids Thailand and lives a decadent life all day, only with the help of his friend Teacher Lu decides to cheer up and find fitness trainer Rocky (played by Koo Tianle) in order to regain his former appearance.
In the process of playing with Gu Tianle, Wu Junru looks like a muddy boy, when speaking, his chin tends to be slightly raised, a contemptuous attitude, and his legs will be slightly open when standing, portraying a male image of a hanging child Langdang vividly.
However, under the bohemian exterior, Zhang Jinlai also has a heartfelt respect for fitness trainer Rocky, in the process of fitness, he practiced seriously and became a hard worker who tried to change his fate.
In addition to the precise control of the characters, Zhang Jinlai's costumes have also been carefully designed, especially the black leather jacket, when Wu Junru wears it, it makes the audience's eyes shine, calling this more man than a man.
Wu Junru's anti-string integrates body movements and the psychological activities of the characters, coupled with the right service design, her anti-string image will remain in the audience's mind forever.
04. Ye Xuan
When it comes to anti-strings, Ye Xuan can be described as a rare existence, and her image of women pretending to be men even compares the male protagonist.
Ye Xuan was born in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, and won the Miss Chinese International contest and the Most Classical Beauty Award at the age of 20, and then set foot in the entertainment industry.
In "Fengshen Version", Ye Xuan played the cute and amorous Yang Lianhua, and in "Regeneration Edge", she also played Meng Lijun, whose screen image is mostly known for being beautiful and agile,
However, in the martial arts drama "The First in the World", Ye Xuan's image of women pretending to be men shows the beauty of her other side.
Shangguan Haitang, played by Ye Xuan in the play, is a master of the Great Inner Secret Agent, who was killed by horse thieves since she was a child, and she survived by luck in the pile of dead people. The tragic experience of childhood adds a bitter and cold-blooded color to this character.
She often appears in the city as a woman pretending to be a man, wearing a long coat and a folding fan, like a rich son's sense of déjà vu.
I saw her flying slowly with light skill, her legs naturally together, a plain dress swinging with the wind, bright eyes revealing a resolute gaze, and the long fan in her hand hung naturally, making people unable to guess what she was going to do next.
Just one appearance made the audience's hearts can't help but ripple.
In addition to her beautiful appearance, Ye Xuan's mastery in the scene can highlight her acting skills. Most of the weapons of other masters in the play are swords, but Shangguan Haitang's weapon is a fan.
She calmly shuttled between the major masters, confronting the sword with a folding fan, and her movements flowed.
Especially in a fight with the bandits, Ye Xuan successfully created the image of a quick male master with a fierce expression, supplemented by smooth movements, coupled with a disdainful tone.
Ye Xuan's anti-string, not only has the style of chivalry, but also gives the character a handsome and beautiful man image, and a martial arts master with outstanding martial arts skills stands alive in front of him.
05. White Deer
For actresses, anti-string male roles are a difficult thing, and anti-string male soldiers are even harder.
But Bai Lu once surprised many people with the image of a male soldier.
Since starring in his first TV series "Song of the Dynasty" in 2016, Bai Lu has officially set foot in the entertainment industry, and the following year, she won the Tencent Video Annual Potential Actress Award with the romantic light comedy "The King Is Not Easy", and her performance is remarkable.
In the 2019 TV series "Agni Military Academy", Bai Lu contributed a subversive interpretation.
In the play, she played the role of Xie Xiang, a kind and righteous woman who joined the army on behalf of her brother, and entered the army lecture hall in military training as a man.
In order to better adapt to the needs of male characters, Bai Lu started with a short head of three or seven points, accompanied by a cold and serious expression, the contour of the face appeared angular, coupled with a straight military uniform, allowing the audience to directly feel the military style.
In addition to the appearance to bring a good look to the audience, Bai Lu's grasp of details is also remarkable.
In a episode of falling into a trap with her comrades, Bai Lu wears a cap, with dark clothes and boots, which is more masculine, and she does not forget to lean on the shoulders of her comrades, highlighting the righteousness of her brothers in times of tribulation.
In order to play this version of the anti-string role, Bai Lu not only cut her long hair, but also wore two layers of corset, plus the costume of the acting is mainly long sleeves and a jacket, Bai Lu often feels breathless, but in order to perform realism, she gritted her teeth and adapted to the scene.
Compared with many women pretending to be men on the Internet, many people praise Bailu as the real effective men's clothing, which is unforgettable.
06. Zhang Yaqin
This year's "Ancient Lovesickness" made Zhang Yaqin really walk in front of the audience.
Many people were surprised, it turned out that there was such a treasure actor that had not yet been discovered, but when netizens began archaeology, they were pleasantly surprised to find that Zhang Yaqin's classic works were far more than this one.
Zhang Yaqin is from the Shanghai Theater Academy, she has participated in "Back to Twenty" starring Han Dongjun and Hu Bingqing, and the movie "Three Lives and Three Lives and Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms" starring Liu Yifei and Yang Yang, although they are all supporting roles with few scenes, but with solid acting skills, Zhang Yaqin has gained a group of fans.
In 2020, the costume drama "Youth Travel" starring Zhang Yaqin was well received by the audience and achieved a score of 7.9 points on Douban, which fully shows Zhang Yaqin's superb acting skills, and Zhang Yaqin's reverse string in the play has become the highlight of this drama, which once made people marvel!
The heroine Su Yunluo played by Zhang Yaqin originally appeared as a male image of Feikouer, and in appearance alone, Zhang Yaqin's anti-string Feikouer shocked the audience.
The slightly bulging cheeks, slightly rough skin, coupled with the beard print looming at the corner of the mouth, and with dark gray clothing, it is simply a lively male image, I can't imagine that the fresh and beautiful Zhang Yaqin has turned into a rough man, and the contrast between the before and after images is huge.
In addition to the appearance, Zhang Yaqin's grasp of details is also remarkable, in the episode of walking with the male protagonist on his back, Fei Kouer walked forward without saying a word, his head was lowered, and his body trembled slightly, fully reflecting the sense of difficulty of walking.
In the process of anti-string flying kouer, Zhang Yaqin's eyes always reveal a male determination, and the flashing gaze is also mixed with a hint of arrogance, which makes people sigh that Zhang Yaqin is simply an expert in pinching masculinity.
The reason why "Youth Travel" can have such a high evaluation has a great relationship with Zhang Yaqin's successful anti-string, and this version of the anti-string also makes netizens wonder "Is it a substitution?" ”
Zhang Yaqin does not hesitate to damage his external image to obtain the realism of the anti-string character, which can be described as a version of the anti-string with conscience.
Write at the end
In recent years, many ancient puppet dramas often have images of women pretending to be men, but it is often difficult to get rid of the female color, so that people can see the truth at a glance.
For example, in "Splendid Weiyang", Tang Yan has fluffy curly hair when she dresses as a man, and her beard seems to be pasted casually, with a thick makeup, which makes the audience feel very perfunctory.
And in "Auspicious Tianbao", Yang Ruonan, played by Zhao Liying, wore exaggerated eye shadow and painted bright red lipstick when she dressed as a man, which was extremely incompatible with the male image and caused netizens to complain.
Due to the difference in body shape, actresses often have to pay more hardships when playing male roles, such as rough skin, steady and powerful walking, etc., every move is a test of themselves.
But many actresses are not attentive to the role of the anti-string and lack control of details.
It can be said that the above six actresses, with their own hard work, finally lived up to the audience's expectations and successfully created an amazing screen image. Giving back to the audience with a good performance is the greatest respect for the audience.
I hope that the actors can dare to break through themselves and constantly explore the character's acting skills, so that more good works can appear, so as to bring more surprises to the audience!
