Costume dramas have always been a favorite theme of the audience, and the appearance of the two male protagonists of "Shanhe Ling" has been praised recently, which has rekindled people's expectations for costume dramas. However, in this context, it is worth noting that some ordinary-looking actors, who tried to play the role of a peerless beautiful man, have caused a lot of heated discussions and discussions. The collision of aesthetics has become more and more significant in costume dramas, and how the actors have created charming characters while challenging their appearance has become the focus of the audience's attention.
Chu Youwen in "His Highness the Wolf" is played by Wang Dalu, and his role setting is really refreshing. Dressed in shabby clothes and styling with long greasy hair, he shows a different kind of wolf charm. Although it is contrary to the audience's expectations for the appearance of the male protagonist, this kind of simplicity and wildness unexpectedly attracted the audience's attention. Wang's performance is also reminiscent of Song Joong Ki's excellent performance in "Wolf Boy", focusing on the details of the characters rather than the gorgeous appearance.
In "Shangyang Fu", Zitang played by Yang Youning has aroused a lot of questions. As the role of a peerless beauty in the capital, there seems to be a certain gap with Yang Youning's appearance. This discrepancy has bothered viewers who think that the choice of actors doesn't seem to fit perfectly with the character setting. The actor's acting skills are important, but the match between the role and the actor is equally important.
Lee's current appearance in "Sword Dynasty" has also caused quite a bit of controversy. Although his appearance is online, many viewers have raised questions about his hairstyle and outfit. This "silly" appearance seems to be a little incompatible with the martial arts plot, which has triggered the audience's speculation about the intention of the modeling. However, after understanding the plot, people gradually discovered the intention behind this look, which made this appearance more dramatic.
In "Long Looks", Yuan Feibai, played by Yu Xiaotong, became a wheelchair-bound character due to the plot setting, but his appearance did not show the expected image of a beautiful boy. In contrast, the second male Guan Zhibin is superior in temperament and appearance, which exacerbates the audience's doubts about the compatibility between the role and the actor.
In costume dramas, the challenges that actors face in playing roles are not only limited to acting, but also include the presentation of the character's appearance. The audience's expectations for the beautiful male characters may be natural, but the efforts made by the actors in the character creation are also worthy of recognition. The aesthetic varies from person to person, with some admiring the actor's dedication and others having doubts about the character's appearance.
Unlike actresses, male actors are mentioned more about their appearance in costume dramas, but this does not mean that actors should be judged purely by their appearance. The audience is looking forward to the charm of the characters and the acting skills of the actors. In the process of creating a character for actors, being yourself and respecting the character setting may be the best strategy to face the challenges of appearance.
Costume dramas are a unique theme, and each character has its own unique charm. The audience's appreciation and doubts are a recognition of the actors' efforts, and the actors will continue to work hard, constantly challenge themselves, and create a richer and more three-dimensional character image, which is also the attraction of costume dramas.
In the world of costume dramas, actors are constantly trying hard for the image of their characters, challenging the audience's aesthetic bottom line. Aesthetics vary from person to person, but respecting the role and showing superb acting skills may be the direction that actors should pay more attention to. Let's look forward to more wonderful performances of the actors in the future, and interpret more popular character images with excellent acting skills.
