preface
When costume dramas were initially popular, many "handsome men in costume", such as Jiao Enjun, Lin Zhiying, Huang Haibing, etc., appeared in the public eye.
They not only have high appearance themselves, but also show their unique temperament in ancient costumes, as if they are a natural match with ancient costumes.
But on the contrary, some actors wear ancient costumes, their original temperament is gone, like a visual disaster, making it difficult to look directly.
Jin Dong
After the broadcast of "The Pretender", the enthusiasm of the audience seemed to be rekindled. In particular, Jin Dong, who played "Ming Lou" in the play, with his mature charm of calm and abstinence, successfully attracted a large number of mature women from forty or fifty years old to young girls in their twenties.
Ming Lou's wisdom and strategy have made him the perfect male god in the hearts of many audiences.
Jin Dong's popularity does not stop there. When he played the "congratulatory letter" in the urban emotional drama "My First Half of Life", his elite overbearing temperament once again attracted countless attention, making the audience have a deeper liking for him.
But just when everyone thought that Jin Dong would be omnipotent, a turning point appeared.
When "Langya List" was released, the audience was surprised to find that although most of the actors in the play were extremely good-looking, only Jin Dong was included in the list of "ugly men".
This unexpected discovery quickly aroused heated discussions among everyone, and more enthusiastic netizens dug up Jin Dong's early costume dramas.
It seems to want to prove a fact: for Jin Dong, costume dramas are his weakness, no matter how young they are, they cannot save his image in costume.
Sun Honglei
Sun Honglei, a powerful actor in the entertainment industry, has a very recognizable face, especially those eyes that seem to never be fully opened.
He has brought many classic characters to the audience in many films, whether they are leaders in the underworld or heroes on the battlefield.
However, in the movie "Warring States", Sun Honglei's appearance has become the focus of everyone's discussion.
In the role of "Sun Bin" played by him, a long straight black hair that reached his waist appeared, which was originally an ancient noble symbol, but it looked a little incongruous on him.
Netizens joked: "Isn't this the face of the big brother of the underworld?" How did it suddenly become like this? Some people even exaggerated and ridiculed, if this long hair is on the heroine Jing Tian in the movie, it may be more appropriate.
After the film screening, this shape became the focus of heated discussions among the audience, and for a while, the image of Sun Honglei became a joke passed down by everyone. Sun Honglei himself was also very self-deprecating, saying that he was really a stylist's "father killer".
Once, he was invited to participate in an entertainment program, the host mentioned this look, Sun Honglei said with a smile: "I know that I may 'thunder' everyone this time, but this is also an attempt, you can also see that I not only have the strength, but also the courage to challenge various styles." ”
The audience laughed after hearing this, Sun Honglei's humor and atmosphere made people like him more, and this "thunderman" shape also became a good memory.
Guo Jingfei
Guo Jingfei is a versatile actor, whether in "It's Good" or "I Am Yu Huanshui", he injected soul into the character.
This kind of acting skills are loved by everyone, and on variety shows, he also shined and performed well. When he was young, he had a heart of "little fresh meat", although now he is no longer known for his appearance.
But the mention of costume dramas, especially the styling in "Langya List 2", has disappointed many viewers.
That kind of "charming" makeup is a little out of line with the character's personality revealed in his eyes. This made everyone jokingly question whether he had offended the stylist. This unique styling choice has indeed generated strong discussion and attention from many audiences.
Yangzi
Yang Zi, an actor who has a double impression in the hearts of the audience. His name and the unbearable "donkey face" are inseparable from his role as Dong Yong in "Tianxian Match".
According to legend, Dong Yong, who can charm the "Seven Fairies", should be a heroic and beautiful man. However, when Yang Zi appeared on the screen, the image of bowing his head and bowing his back and hunching over was like a fool who was "half-unsuccessful", which caused an uproar among the audience.
In 2007, the costume drama "Ten Years of Lights in the Night and Rain of Rivers and Lakes" was released, and Yangzi once again became the focus. The name of this play seems to be full of martial arts atmosphere, and many viewers have turned on the TV in order to see "Baiyutang".
But unexpectedly, Bai Yutang, played by Yang Zi, once again subverted the audience's expectations. His every movement, every smile, is full of evil charm and weirdness.
Especially the sentence: "Good and evil will be rewarded in the end, and the way of heaven is good reincarnation...", every time he said it, it was like he had exhausted his whole body's strength, and then rolled his eyes, as if he was mocking the people of the world.
Such a performance made many viewers express that they "wanted to die in place" after watching it. But I have to admit that whether it is a good or a bad comment, Yang Zi has successfully pushed himself to the cusp of public opinion and has become a topic after people's tea.
Zhu Xiaotian
Zhu Xiaotian was once a bright shooting star in the eyes of the audience. Especially in the classic "Meteor Garden", his handsome image has captured the hearts of countless girls.
However, time does not live, people will grow old, and meteors will eventually fall.
As the years passed, Zhu Xiaotian changed from that heartwarming teenager to a greasy middle-aged man, and his figure began to decline.
When he decided to participate in the costume drama "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang", no one foresaw that he would be dubbed the "ugliest costume actor" for this reason.
After the film was released, everyone pointed to his stylist. Zhu Xiaotian's face was already round enough, and the stylist chose a hairstyle that did not suit him.
This is undoubtedly adding fuel to the fire of an already less than ideal image. For a time, the topic of Zhu Xiaotian being named "the ugliest man in costume" also became a hot topic on social media.
The saddest thing is that there is no harm without contrast, and when the audience took out the stills of Zheng Shaoqiu's version of "Chu Liuxiang", it made Zhu Xiaotian even more invisible.
Zhang Han
Zhang Han was once the "domineering president" in the hearts of the audience. His outstanding performance in "Let's Watch the Meteor Shower" has accumulated a large number of fans for him. But like many stars, Zhang Han also has his highs and lows.
Last year, Zhang Han dabbled in a controversial work, "Gentlemen of the East Eighth District." He devoted three years to the work, but received a lot of bad reviews.
The audience was outraged by its rotten plot, as well as its disrespectful words about women. In particular, some body movements with the meaning of "sexual harassment" made Zhang Han feel like "lifting a stone and shooting himself in the foot".
Back in 2016, Zhang Han's appearance in "The Legend of the Red Shadow of the Classic of Mountains and Seas" also caused controversy.
Although the character was originally a handsome and cold prince, Zhang Han's interpretation is full of pompousness and greasy.
His complained "death smoky makeup" and "black mink fur coat" make him look very different from the original character, like a street gangster.
And the line "Are you playing with me" has also become the focus of netizens' ridicule.
In fact, such a role choice and interpretation method made Zhang Han's relationship with his heroine Naza the focus of everyone's speculation.
Some even joked that perhaps Naza was really attracted to his unforgettable "death smoky makeup".
Wang Continent
In the summer of 2015, when the theme song of "My Girlhood" echoed in the streets, the name Wang Continent gradually became known.
He plays "Xu Taiyu" is a standard male protagonist in a youth novel, handsome, simple and full of youthful feeling.
Taiwan's alleys, campus basketball courts, and Wang Mainland's smile full of "youthful feeling" have immersed countless viewers in this innocent love.
However, the good times did not last long. In the subsequent "Wolf Highness", Wang Continent faced unprecedented challenges.
This costume drama with high expectations was originally optimistic by the audience, especially with the blessing of Xiao Zhan and Li Qin, two powerful actors.
But when Wang Continent appeared, his appearance and figure were very different from the image of the "wolf boy" in people's hearts.
Netizens commented a lot, thinking that his appearance was too shocking and did not match the atmosphere of costume dramas.
Especially in the kiss scene with Li Qin, his performance was even ridiculed by netizens as "cupping".
Yu Xiaotong
Yu Xiaotong once became a handsome little man in the hearts of the public because of the image of "young Jia Baoyu". But when he appeared in the costume drama "Long Looking", everything changed.
In this drama, Yu Xiaotong played the role of "the first beautiful man in the Warring States era of Tingzhou" Yuan Feibai. This was supposed to be an opportunity to make his star path even brighter. But his image turned all expectations into disappointment.
Fans of the original work once imagined that Yuan Feibai was a beautiful man with a dragon and phoenix posture, but Yu Xiaotong in the play was like a ghost, and had nothing to do with the image of a beautiful man.
His killing Matt bangs, smoky makeup, and burly body make it difficult to associate with beautiful men in ancient costumes.
Surprisingly, in the play, his image was praised by many characters. Such appreciation makes the audience even more confused, as if entering a world upside down.
The editor can't understand why Yu Xiaotong chose such a role? His half-covered bangs are incompatible with his facial features, making his image even more distinctive.
Wang Longhua
Wang Longhua, a handsome actor who once became popular with the amorous "Jia Lian", is now labeled as an "ugly man in ancient costume".
It all stems from his image in the costume drama "The Legend of Heavy Ears". It is not so much that there is a problem with Wang Longhua's acting skills, but that his appearance is the real culprit.
Wang Longhua's unnatural air bangs and donkey-like face have aroused discussions among many viewers and netizens. Some people ridicule that Wang Longhua's image is the same as the former Internet celebrity Liu Zichen.
Although his costumes are fancy and seem to show off his wealth, he actually looks more like an overnight nouveau riche.
Surprisingly, even compared with Zhang Yishan in the same play, Wang Longhua's appearance still becomes the focus with an "overwhelming" advantage.
But why does Wang Longhua have such a styling choice? Some netizens speculated that perhaps he offended the stylist, and the stylist is the key to revenge.
But let's go back to the real world, Wang Longhua is actually a very handsome actor, once started acting at the age of 13, and was admitted to Chinese opera at the age of 15.
The reason why he was selected by director Li Shaohong to play "Jia Lian" in his third year of college is completely due to his talent and appearance.
So it can only be said that Wang Longhua was rated as an "ugly man in ancient costume", which really has nothing to do with appearance.
epilogue
The requirements of ancient costumes for a person's temperament are really very high, and they are not at the same level at all compared with the requirements of modern clothing.
Although some male stars in modern costumes are not very outstanding in ancient costumes, those who are handsome in ancient costumes will definitely not be inferior to modern clothing.
Of course, the credit of the stylist cannot be ignored. Some actors have excellent acting skills, but if there is a problem with the style, it will be greatly reduced.
High-quality costume dramas must not only have excellent acting skills, but also details such as styling and props. Only when all aspects are coordinated can a truly wonderful masterpiece be presented to the audience.
