Some attentive viewers found that the TV series "Walking with the Phoenix" quietly changed the filter, which made the picture suddenly clearer. However, the "death filter" was replaced near the finale, and fans lamented that their favorite actors could finally "restore their beauty", and at the same time tearfully ran to tell each other, "The filter has been changed, it is recommended to rewatch it"!

In the past, there was "seeing flowers in the fog", and now there is "watching dramas through filters". It is undeniable that it has become difficult for viewers to find a TV series that does not open the filter and grinds the skin.
The progress of science and technology should have made the picture clearer, but at the moment when 4K picture quality is gradually implemented, some TV series have turned on the "magical" defense in the way of filter + skin grinding.
In fact, internal entertainment has been suffering from the "death filter" for a long time, and "Walking with the Phoenix" is not the first TV series to remove the filter when it is broadcast. As early as 2019, when the TV series "The Legend of the New White Lady" was broadcast, because the audience strongly reported that the filter was turned on too much, resulting in serious picture distortion, the drama party had to adjust and replace the filter overnight, and adjust the excessive soft light of the white color.
At that time, the actor in the play, Yu Hazy, also posted in a joking tone that the ten-level beauty filter of "Xu Xian" will be officially offline, and "Yu Qingqing" has been launched simultaneously.

However, the effect of such a "ten-level beauty" not only does not really beautify the actors, but also affects the audience's experience of watching the drama, which is really "smart but mistaken by smart".
It is understandable that some dramas want to use filters to assist in the presentation of the picture, but in actual application, most people are lazy and perfunctory, turning on the "one-click beautification" mode. Originally, it was supposed that the lighting photographer should have done the lighting and debugging the equipment carefully, and the actors should do a good job of skin and body management in advance, but now they only want to do "surface work", relying on filters and dermabrasion to solve the problem.
One moment "brightens the blind eyeballs", and the other time is "dark to blindness", some strange filters repeatedly jump sideways between light and dark to torment the audience. From the "Yellow Sand Attack" in "I Only Like You", to the "Green to Glow" in "Sword in the Snow", and then to the "Dark Attack" in "The Wind Rises in Longxi......

Idol dramas should be warm and soft, costume dramas should be cold, and suspense dramas should be dark, which has become a set of filter rules pursued by most domestic dramas. Even now, the abuse of filters has developed to the point of "reversing black and white", and the TV series "West Out of the Jade Gate" shoots night scenes in broad daylight, and finally lets the filters "go to the bottom". Please keep in mind that the audience is by no means a "black and white" person who can be treated wantonly by you.
The chronic disease of filter abuse actually reflects the current impetuous and "making quick money" film and television industry. Only by abandoning the assembly-line routine operation can the distorted picture no longer get out of control and return to the right track. (ENDS)
