Preface
As a film and television lover, are you also chasing CCTV's "Dog Leftover Run", a period drama of the Anti-Japanese War? This drama, which originally had a lot of expectations, felt regret and disappointment because of the difference in the mirror effect of the actress's plastic surgery face.
So, why are actresses who have moved their faces in front of the camera destined to stage a tragedy? This article uses Zhang Yimou's golden sentence as a quote to deeply analyze why plastic surgery faces can't control the big screen.
The plastic surgery face into the play destroys the sense of age
"Dog Leftover Run", which was launched at the beginning of this month, attracted much attention from the beginning, and through the combination of anti-Japanese war themes and comedy elements, a large number of famous actors and actresses of anti-Japanese war dramas joined, which once made fans wait and see.
The play tells the absurd story of Hou San, a rural fool, and a group of down-and-out intellectuals during the Anti-Japanese War.
Let the audience be moved by laughter. But when the audience saw the heroine Hou San's wife "Xiulan" appearing in front of the camera, they couldn't help but scream - these white and soft big double eyelids are clearly a modern plastic surgery style.
Looking closely at Xiulan's facial features, the European-style sunken double eyelids, the high and transparent nose bridge, and the plump and neat lip shape all reveal the fact of plastic surgery.
Especially when she smiled, her stiff expression could not see the true state of an ordinary village woman living in the war. The addition of this "plastic surgery face" directly mixed the play with elements of disobedience, which seriously affected the immersion of the plot.
Of course, this also makes the audience question the casting negligence of the producers. In fact, as a serious period drama, it is very important to restore the background of the times.
Elements such as costumes, hairstyles, props, and language all need to be restored strictly according to historical truth, which is related to whether the audience can fully immerse themselves in that era.
The addition of plastic surgery is undoubtedly equivalent to a resounding slap in front of the audience, instantly bringing the immersive look and feel back to reality. Therefore, this is definitely a fatal casting dereliction of duty, and it is also a blasphemy of the audience's intelligence!
Zhang Yimou had already foreseen that plastic surgery was destined to be a tragedy
In fact, as early as many years ago, the great director Zhang Yimou made it clear that he resolutely opposes the use of plastic surgery faces! In an interview, Zhang Yimou said seriously: "I think plastic surgery has destroyed the muscles and structures on the face.
There are thousands of muscles on the human face, and there are subtle changes with each movement. But after the movie is enlarged tens of thousands of times, all the flaws of plastic surgery are exposed. Think about it, how much Zhang Yimou's words fit with reality.
As an excellent film artist, he is well versed in the mysteries of the lens, and naturally understands that plastic surgery faces cannot be "hidden" on the screen. After all, the set and live-action shooting are two completely different worlds from the screened footage of the online drama.
In the camera's oversized close-up mode, the slightest imperfection on the face is exposed. If you add to that the deformation of the facial muscles that the plastic surgery causes the facial muscles to malfunction, it is simply a disaster.
And at the moment, the plastic surgery actress in "Dog Leftover Run" just verified Zhang Yimou's judgment. Their blunt acting skills and sense of disobedience due to the incoordination of facial muscles and expression control all prove that plastic surgery is destined to be a taboo on the camera!
As a veteran artist, Director Zhang has already relied on his extraordinary foresight to see through the essential fate of plastic surgery that it is difficult to get on the big screen. This also makes people have to be impressed by his professionalism and judgment again.
Qin Hailu and other actresses are even more ugly on camera after plastic surgery
This is not the only example of this. Let's pay attention to Qin Hailu, the regular team of the hit variety show "Hua Shao 5", a veteran actor who has been in the film for more than 30 years, and his appearance in the new drama is also quite criticized.
is different from her outstanding state in variety shows, this time Qin Hailu has obviously gained weight. The skin is too tight due to facial fattening, and there are no fine wrinkles between the corners of the eyes and eyebrows that a normal 45-year-old woman should have.
Coupled with her deliberately pretended delicate expression, it looked so weird that it looked like an inflatable plastic doll! This ugly photogenic state was obviously the result of Qin Hailu's overuse of facial fillers and hormones.
Otherwise, with the degree of attention she has paid to facial management over the years, how could she tolerate herself appearing on the camera with this appearance? Fortunately, after the filming, Qin Hailu successfully lost weight, and the sense of incongruity on her face was also reduced, which saved the day.
As a veteran actress who has experienced a hundred battles, she obviously realized in hindsight that plastic surgery is destined to be a hard injury on the big screen, and she is looking for guilt. Otherwise, with her ingenuity, how could she allow herself to be disgraced in vain?
And Zhou Xianxin, another powerful actress who is praised as "Little Gong Li", has not been spared plastic surgery, and her Cui Niang style in the new play has also been questioned.
The seriously inflated baby face that is very different from the past is enough to show that Zhou Xianxin has not escaped the fate of the unspoken rules. In fact, Zhou Xianxin is also a naturalist actor in nature, and her success is largely due to a delicate and realistic face.
This time, I don't know what kind of inferiority complex drove me, but I actually moved my face, which only increased the embarrassment in front of the camera. Some comments even ridiculed her for her appearance this time as a "plastic surgery face demonstration textbook", which can be said to be Waterloo to the extreme.
It can be seen that inside and outside the film and television industry, photogenic tragedies brought about by plastic surgery exist almost everywhere. As Mentor Zhang said, under the magnification of the big screen, there is nothing to hide from any unnaturalness. So why do actresses bother to challenge the bottom line of the camera?
Yang Zi, Jia Ling and other new dramas are released or suffer Waterloo
As a result of over-reliance on plastic surgery, we can also see more profound lessons. Jia Ling's new film "Hot and Hot" released at the beginning of the year, and the traffic flower Yang Zi invited was in a worrying state.
In the exposed behind-the-scenes video, she not only has a severely swollen face without makeup, but her facial features are so distorted that she can't see her original face. The dynamic state is even more miserable, because the ugliness caused by the loss of muscle control when the expression changes cannot be hidden.
Especially at her age, she shouldn't have such a serious edema problem, which undoubtedly exposes her reliance on small movements such as injections and facelifts.
At the same time, Jia Ling herself was not spared the fate of "fortune." The exposed round face could not be concealed under the camera, forming a sharp contrast with the young and beautiful Yang Zi.
In fact, Jia Ling has no shortage of acting skills, but this time the state is too spicy. Compare the two heroines, you can't tell which one is worse!
This undoubtedly means that this new film, which is about to be released, is likely to hit a wall because the two heroines are too out of shape. At that time, they will not be the only ones who will be pitted by the "plastic face"!
epilogue
Through the above examples, we have fully explained that in front of the camera, the plastic surgery face will eventually be lost, which is a doomed failure! The styling mistakes of the actresses in "Dog Leftovers Run" are only the tip of the iceberg.
And Zhang Yimou's aphorism is the most solid footnote to this seemingly beautiful Pandora's box. In this regard, we can only sigh from the bottom of our hearts - there is nothing wrong with plastic surgery and beauty, but it is destined to not survive under the cruel amplification of the movie, and eventually become a mantis carved and decorated with gold!
At the moment, this expected new drama is on the air. As viewers, we have to worry about whether there will be more plastic surgery faces that cut through the beauty of the screen in the follow-up episodes. At the same time, we also look forward to learning from the industry.
Prevent the recurrence of this negligent casting. After all, there is no reason for the quality of film and television works to compete with the audience's aesthetics. There is nothing wrong with plastic surgery and beauty, but the big screen is a public weapon, and you must not use blinding methods to deceive these talking eyes!
