The hottest topic in recent days——
Zhou Xun overturned.
Did Zhou Xun say something outrageous that angered netizens?
No.
It's because of an old drama that was broadcast in 2018 and removed from the shelves in 2020, and the whole network can't find genuine resources-
"The Legend of Ruyi".
What kind of hatred and what kind of grudge, to repeatedly whip the corpse of an old drama that "disappeared"?
Even if the drama is ugly and the characters are not likable, why rise to the level of actors?
Before verifying, Sir also thought that this was another boring self-congratulation of internal entertainment.
But after watching dozens of "Ruyi's Biography" second creation videos.
Sir only then understood-
It's "The Legend of Ruyi" that is not good enough.
It is also for the domestic drama that is not indisputable, and bears everything.
01
"Zhou Xun is to blame for this"
The popularity of "The Legend of Ruyi" originated from the large-scale complaining video of Station B.
Last year, a blogger who first complained about "The Legend of Ruyi" said that he rewatched "The Legend of Ruyi" many years later and found that this drama was "the core of the boss's cool text, and the whole staff has serious double standards".
For example, some people have statistics that Ruyi said that she would not compete for favor, but in the first 5 episodes, she has actually fought 7 times.
So, she "double-standard".
For another example, Ruyi lost many friends and relatives because she didn't fight or grab, but every time someone else died, she didn't seem to be moved.
A drama, a character, it is not a bad thing to have multiple interpretations.
But the complaint about Ruyi was soon mixed with resentment against "208", and his anger was transferred to Zhou Xun, who entered the house.
Two years ago, Zhou Xun participated in the "Talk Show Conference" because he didn't understand the stalk of the rider's brother, so he was stamped and certified as "why not eat minced meat".
As a result, Zhou Xun's remarks that have been out of the circle, walking the red carpet and saying "There are so many people", and "Round Table Pie" saying "I don't read", are no longer frank and cute.
It is a real hammer of "no culture", "poor acting skills" and "playing big names".
So "The Legend of Ruyi" made a thousand mistakes, and they were all attributed to Zhou Xun alone.
Netizens turned out her former show.
found out that her understanding of Ruyi was not to Gong Dou-
Then, Station B complained that the video of "The Legend of Ruyi" was taken off the shelves on a large scale.
Bloggers have received infringement complaints –
Because of the attack on Zhou Xun for being "ugly", "uneducated", "duck voice", etc., it was judged to be a "personal attack, which violated Zhou Xun's right to reputation".
Don't accept criticism from the audience, and use your privilege to cover your mouth?
Soon, Zhou Xun's Weibo was washed away.
politely, just persuade her to accept criticism and not cover her mouth.
Rough, directly mocking with insulting memes.
Things are fermenting until now.
Persuading "the drama is not the right person" is obviously ineffective.
Because this session of netizens will tell you-
The character of Ruyi was created by Zhou Xun himself.
If the role is not likable, it means that the actor has a bad character and low consciousness.
The evidence collected by netizens is trying to point:
In the play, Ruyi, who is the queen, is hypocritical, selfish, and does not take the sacrifice of the subordinates seriously, but also tries to gain the audience's empathy.
Outside the play, Zhou Xun, the queen of the Three Golden Films, seems to have become the villain who makes the whole crew a tool, just to accompany him to complete the dream of the Virgin.
For a while, stepping on Zhou Xun has become a fashion in a small circle, and everyone can vent their anger without saying anything.
Sir does not deny that everyone has the right to criticize dramas.
But this turmoil has evolved so far, mixed with too many conspiracy theories and unwarranted.
For example, by chasing the wind and catching shadows, it is necessary to show that "The Legend of Ruyi" is a crew that bullies actors.
In the tidbits, Huo Jianhua said that he acted angrily and acted until his liver hurts, Li Chun jumped into the pond in winter and collapsed, and Xin Zhilei was slapped and stunned......
Only, Zhou Xun did not appear.
Before the recombination, many people complained that because Zhou Xun was too big, directors had to obey her.
So it is self-evident who is the spearhead of this "collective bullying".
But really?
Huo Jianhua is just expressing his dedication to acting.
And what "beats" Xin Zhilei is the scene with Huo Jianhua, which is just a plot need.
There are even some video titles that read: Li Chun was bullied in the crew.
As a result, the video opens.
Li Chun just said that when Wei Yanwan was bullied, she was seen by her mother, and her mother was a little distressed.
These materials are pinched and removed from the tail and then combined together, but they become all the rhythms brought to Zhou Xun's head.
Many people stubbornly imagined a "vicious Zhou Xun".
denounce this Zhou Xun.
In the denunciation, a spiritual victory was felt.
02
"Uncompetitive" Ruyi
Things are now becoming clearer.
Is this a critique of the show?
It must be said that "The Legend of Ruyi" has its own shortcomings.
Even at the beginning of the broadcast, it was not without complaints, and the most concentrated ones were-
Zhou Xun is too old.
personally played the fifteen-year-old Ruyi.
Huo Jianhua's acting skills.
said that his eyes were empty and he couldn't catch the opponent's play.
The word-of-mouth and broadcast data of "The Legend of Ruyi" are slowly rising in the long run.
Although the palace fight in the play is not as exciting as other dramas, the plot of the trickle and the long flow of water has gradually made many viewers gradually watch it.
In the year or two after the broadcast, there are still many viewers who will say that "The Legend of Ruyi" is one of the few costume dramas that can move people recently.
Many complained that they wanted to "pull down the altar" of "The Legend of Ruyi".
In fact, it has never been on the altar, Douban is only 7.5, it has only silently accompanied some of its fans.
But why today, "The Legend of Ruyi" ushered in an unprecedented fierce bombardment.
Especially after six years of broadcasting, the video has also been taken off the shelves for four years.
To some extent, it has been stated that-
Today's netizens who complain about "The Legend of Ruyi" are not the audience who followed the drama completely, but only came into contact with this drama through short video editing.
So you can see.
They discussed all aspects of the quality of the work, such as directing skills, screenwriting, acting, cinematography, and costumes.
They always judged—
Ruyi, this person's words and deeds.
Because Ruyi didn't do it right, Zhou Xun's performance was problematic.
Because Ruyi did it wrong, the screenwriter was wrong.
So in the final analysis, it is not the quality of "The Legend of Ruyi" that overturned today, but the character design of Ruyi.
Because she is a white lotus, because she is as light as a chrysanthemum, she is not ruthless enough, unlike the heroine of Shuangwen.
People like her are the protagonists, high up.
The bottom of Wei Yanwan is ambitious, but she is regarded as a vicious supporting role.
How unfair.
So the more "light" Ruyi is, the more netizens hate her.
But.
The Internet may have no memory.
Six years ago and now, six years later, there is already a generation gap.
This year's latest netizens love to watch cool dramas, revenge will be avenged, and they can't bear it a little.
And what we pay attention to is to engage in business, get results, and have an iron fist.
So it was applied to the palace fighting drama-
Engaging in palace fighting with heart has become the only political correctness.
Today's critics of "The Legend of Ruyi" must call "The Legend of Zhen Huan", and regard Zhen Huan as a model, which contrasts with Ruyi's three views.
But I don't know.
At the beginning of the broadcast of "The Legend of Zhen Huan", what was criticized was "three views are not correct".
When "The Legend of Ruyi" was broadcast, there was the classic "The Legend of Zhen Huan", the "Legend of Miyue" that "flourished and then declined", and a large number of imitators, and the plot of Gong Dou was already too saturated.
Today, netizens regard the non-palace fight of "The Legend of Ruyi" as the original sin.
As everyone knows, it was originally intended to shoot a different harem story.
Director Wang Jun has filmed "Four Generations in the Same Hall", "The Great Era" and "Those Things About Husband and Wife", and is good at telling the shortcomings of ordinary people's parents.
In fact, "The Legend of Ruyi" successfully gained some fans later, and one of the reasons was that in the genre of harem dramas, the perception of middle-aged marriage was told.
On the other hand.
In 2017, radio and television asked provincial satellite TV to strengthen restrictions on palace fighting dramas, and "The Legend of Ruyi" and "Yanxi Raiders" were all delayed broadcast.
"The Legend of Ruyi" has weakened Gong Dou to such an extent.
But the result: The show was still offline two years later.
And what is ridiculous today is that many people turned out this drama that was taken off the shelves, accusing it of not being enough to fight for the palace......
Sir reviewed it and felt that this should be the most magical part of the whole incident.
Then back to "The Legend of Ruyi".
Many people today may not have seen it at all.
What it wants to focus on is not the traditional palace fighting power scheme, but the marriage siege of the emperor's family.
What it wants to ask is, when the idealists represented by Ruyi who pursue "once in a lifetime heart-to-heart" fall into the power struggle of nine deaths, what kind of tragedy will be ushered in?
Loser narrative.
made "The Legend of Ruyi" and "Yanxi Raiders" broadcast at the same time, and was compared with the latter's cool drama logic, and became cannon fodder for ratings.
Now the reason why "The Legend of Ruyi" angers ordinary people.
It's a point that we didn't care about at all in the past-
The hypocrisy of the superiors, and their implicit bullying of the subordinates.
Here's an example.
There is a scene where Ruyi gives birth to a princess, the mother and daughter are safe, and the midwife, maid, and doctor should be rewarded.
Who knew that Ruyi arranged for someone to inform:
coincided with the great flood in the south, and the master immortal died, and the reward was halved.
Watching it with the mentality of a big heroine, you will feel that Ruyi has high emotional intelligence, motherhood, and compassion for the people.
But what about those who have halved their rewards?
Of course, I was so angry that I wanted to scold the street.
△ Netizens created lines for the second time
Did you find out?
Today, netizens watch "The Legend of Ruyi", and they can't treat it as a marriage drama or even a costume drama at all.
The biggest villain in the play: Wei Yanwan, who was born from a humble background and was promoted to concubine, is now the real queen with the most "inspirational fans".
opened "The Legend of Ruyi" in Wei Yanwan's way, the blood pressure is normal, and the mammary glands are unobstructed-
The father-in-law who helped Wei Yanwan achieve the counterattack has become the god in charge of sexual tension in the Forbidden City.
The contrast of classes, "The Legend of Ruyi" is accidentally portrayed too clearly.
Ruyi was overjoyed when she saw Wei Yanwan planting yellow peonies, and asked people to sew the pattern onto her clothes.
As a result, the queen was unhappy.
The nobleman next to him took the opportunity to add oil and vinegar, saying that this was a big rebellion and coveted the back position.
But even if Ruyi is really disrespectful, at most she will be punished for copying Buddhist scriptures.
Wei Yanwan is different-
offended the queen, she was beaten fat, and she was forcibly changed her name, and she was transferred to the palace of a black-bellied nobleman, and suffered humiliation.
In the past, everyone empathized with Ruyi, even if it was unhappy, it was also unhappy Ruyi's incompetence.
What now?
Everyone finally found out -
Ruyi and us ordinary people have walls at all.
She can not fight or rob because she was born in an imperial family, received the best education since she was a child, and has seen the biggest scene, even if she is beaten into the cold palace, she can also be clothed and fed.
But what about the palace maid Wei Yanwan?
is beautiful and knows a lot, but she didn't let her fly on the branches, which almost became the beginning of a tragedy.
Even Ruyi's "inaction" accelerated Wei Yanwan's tragedy and her blackening in the later period.
It's like a line from "Parasite":
It's not that you're rich but you're kind, it's because you're rich.
The audience's view of right and wrong is not broken to the point that they don't know that no matter how pitiful Wei Yanwan is, her essence is hateful.
Just a few years after a sharp turn.
Everyone's demand for watching dramas is also downgrading consumption.
No matter what drama you watch, in addition to the humble workers, it seems that you can't substitute more.
The creator of "The Legend of Ruyi" is right.
They just want to be quiet and tell an unforgettable love story that will eventually wither.
Zhou Xun's understanding of the role is also correct.
Not participating in the palace fight is Ruyi's life mission.
But this exaltation of equality and freedom, empathy for those who have power.
For today's audience?
It can only be said that the monthly salary is 5,000, and empathy does not come.
03
"The Legend of Ruyi" six years ago is a cold joke in today's domestic entertainment
"The Legend of Ruyi" was complained out of the circle.
The most mentioned "The Legend of Zhen Huan".
After more than ten years, the second creation review has turned fans into Zhen scholars, and the news of the recent group comprehensive has been the first hot search.
The basis of both dramas comes from Liuyu Purple.
But when Zheng Xiaolong adapted "The Legend of Zhen Huan", he had his own set of ideas.
I wanted to make a costume drama with a critical consciousness
Costume dramas in recent years
It's mostly a hymn
A lot of it is being touted
Including some emperors who are young, beautiful and dedicated
Although "The Legend of Ruyi" also shows Qianlong's suspicion, selfishness, and hypocrisy.
But what everyone is puzzled about is that Ruyi's personality is too idealistic, and even a little distorted.
In contrast, "The Legend of Zhen Huan" has more human thickness, and the group portrait portrayal is also more exciting.
In recent years, many people have watched "The Legend of Zhen Huan" as a "thick black study in the workplace".
Zheng Xiaolong repeatedly reminded:
"It's not a job at all, it's your life!"
"The foreign propaganda slogan for "The Legend of Zhen Huan" is: an unyielding soul, a weak woman against the entire Qing Empire. But the critics on our side don't see it, and I'm really surprised. ”
In fact, "The Legend of Zhen Huan" is also a "female frequency cool article".
But everyone can chew on it again and again because it unvarnished the complexity of human nature and the squalor of the superior.
is not afraid to deconstruct the logic of power for thousands of years, layer by layer, to tell you how the solidified class, the whirlpool of power struggle, and how to trap everyone's self.
Maybe Zheng Xiaolong didn't expect it.
At the beginning, he criticized the rotten power structure through Zhen Huan's entire blackened white lotus.
But it was interpreted by many netizens in reverse-
Zhen Huan is a big winner in life.
Power is to compete for closer, and only then can it be called self-motivated.
So much so that today, Ruyi, who is as light as a chrysanthemum, is the villain.
And "Black Lotus" has become the most effective word in revenge dramas.
△ It was rumored that "Black Lotus" was launched 24 hours ago, and the recharge amount exceeded 20 million
But the enduring vitality of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" actually stems from its understanding of every character equally, instead of pinching the audience's head and saying:
It's the bad guys, that's the good guys;
This is the wrong view, and it is amiable and respectable.
The emperor at the peak of power is no longer tall and mighty.
He is written as a big child who was not favored in childhood, and he is also a middle-aged man with a big belly and no one likes.
An Lingrong, who was once scolded for "green tea" and "white-eyed wolf".
The case was also reversed years later.
We finally discovered that her disgusted life is the mirror that ordinary people are most unwilling to face.
The final winner, Zhen Huan, has now also received a more spicy evaluation:
Chinese-style political animals, flattering and bullying, playing with power.
Perhaps, the audience doesn't like "The Legend of Ruyi" not because of the "love brain", but because the creator portrays the top owner of power as a saint with high morals.
It tries to write the tragedy of the abstenters.
But its resonant point seems offensive at the moment:
Abstention, which is also hierarchical-
The "second generation of power" failed and broke his hair, and it can be said that people are as light as chrysanthemums, and they can still be stormy.
But what if the average person fails?
Destroying human nature?
"The Legend of Ruyi" looks at the tragedy of a woman chasing her true love and being trapped in feudal patriarchy from an absolutely private point of view, which is right.
It's just that today's audiences have also seen an overly tragic reality in unintentional realistic TV series.
And this, again, is like a kind of overkill revenge-
After all, what domestic drama today can see the world from a bottom-level perspective and describe ordinary people vividly, cutely, and resonantly?
In the Name of the People.
The decent one is Hou Liangping.
Because he was born noble and always acted impartially, his lines were classic quotations that could be copied in a small book.
But the audience doesn't love him.
On the contrary, the villain Qi Tongwei, who was born at the bottom, and Gao Xiaoqin's lifelong love made people kowtow.
"Hurricane".
Zhang Songwen and Zhang Yi are both drama bones.
But in the end, what everyone remembers is Gao Qiqiang, who counterattacked the gang boss step by step by selling fish, instead of always eating thieves as food, and An Xin, who is so tall that he is a little wooden.
Poor people can only be villains.
And even if it's a villain who is rarely human.
It is also in this barren creative environment that occasionally takes the east wind of propaganda and correctness, and draws a blind box that has to steal fun.
The black and red of "The Legend of Ruyi" stems from the dissatisfaction of the domestic entertainment audience and the regression of domestic dramas.
Today's bad drama is too boring to even rot.
Today's traffic, you can't even recognize the face.
In other words, the current mediocrity of domestic dramas is that there is no popularity in making complaining videos, and if you want to scold in private, you may not be able to find someone to chase together.
There is a saying -
In the past, when I watched idol dramas, I empathized with the female protagonist who was covered by the male protagonist in the fish pond.
Now watching idol dramas, I empathize with the heroine's side...... A security guard with a monthly salary of 3,000.
So, the most popular video recently is not Mr. Ba, but my nanny in Mr. Ba's short drama.
The audience wants to be seen and understood, and is so hungry that they want to find the presence of modern workers in a costume drama.
And those film and television dramas that advertise to describe the present no longer understand ordinary people.
The failures of ordinary people are described as hateful, all to set off the three views of money worship, distorted success, and the narcissism of celebrities.
In and out of the play.
A satirical echo is formed-
Because there is no end to degrading, there is no longer a place for ordinary people.
What time do you get off work on weekdays, can you take holidays, whether you get married, whether you have a baby, and how much is the house you buy worth...... It's not up to you to decide.
In this case, what is left of what the audience can complain about and resist?
Isn't there only Zhou Xun, who is not very good at speaking, and "The Legend of Ruyi", which has long been removed from the shelves.
The picture in this article comes from the Internet
