Preface
Makeup childhood sweetheart, feature film "Mother and Son Love".
Zhou Xun Huo Jianhua starred in "The Legend of Ruyi" has recently collapsed in terms of word-of-mouth, in addition to the dissatisfaction with the plot and character design, many people have turned out the original makeup photos of "The Legend of Ruyi", wondering why there is such a good-looking look just don't use it.
In fact, not every set of makeup photos of film and television works will be used in the feature film, and sometimes there will even be significant changes. But some people have skyrocketed in appearance after changing, and some people have become "frauds" like "The Legend of Ruyi".
Ruyi's biography: "Eldest Lady" becomes "Old Lady"
What is the greater the expectation and the greater the disappointment, it is probably "The Legend of Ruyi".
Especially Zhou Xun, who is the heroine of the absolute center, everyone is full of expectations for her performance, but when they watched the feature film, many people were a little dumbfounded: This is Zhou Xun?
Whether it is Xiao Wei in "Painted Skin" or Taiping in "Daming Palace Ci", a touch of beauty has become a goddess in the hearts of many people.
But I don't know what's wrong, her appearance in "The Legend of Ruyi" is not only unsuitable, but also exposes Zhou Xun's shortcomings. The eyebrows were drawn too up, not suitable for her age, it looked like it was older, and her face looked a little stiff.
Zhou Xun's lipstick color was also too strong, covering almost the entire lips. She originally had a little thick lower lip, and she was a little pouting when she spoke, with this mouthful of lipstick, she looked like a "sausage mouth", which made people play every minute.
The costumes are even more inexplicable, and the other young actresses in this drama are dressed in flowers, and they look like young and beautiful concubines.
But what about Zhou Xun, her clothes are not only dull and dull, but also very tight, and she is lined with other young concubines who are older, compared with others, she doesn't look like a favorite concubine, but like an "old concubine" in the cold palace.
When he was in the same frame as Qianlong played by Huo Jianhua, many people complained: This is not like a childhood sweetheart, but like "deep love between mother and son".
When I look at the makeup photos, it makes people even more confused, why is the director team not good at looking at them, can't they see which set is better?
Zhou Xun and Huo Jianhua's most criticized "sense of age" problem is gone, the man is handsome and the woman is beautiful, and the two of them still have a sense of CP. I don't know what the crew thinks, Zhou Xun is not a beauty, he has to be filmed like this.
Ember of the Long Moon: Styling "Fraud"
The current costume fairy dramas are almost the same, and the audience who watched the white "funeral style" was puzzled: The fairies in my childhood don't seem to look like this?
Because of this, when "Long Moon Embers" was promoted in the early stage, it can be said that everyone's expectations were full. Whether it is the makeup photos, posters or behind-the-scenes videos of the leading actors, they all make people feel the charm of Dunhuang style and Chinese aesthetics.
In particular, the two sets of looks of the female No. 2 Chen Turin became popular on the video website as soon as they were released. Her villain image of "Buddha's mouth and snake heart" makes everyone look forward to this drama even more.
Let's talk about the first set of looks first, Chen Turin is dressed like the flying goddess in the Dunhuang murals, with a cold face, elegant movements, and a mysterious smile on the corner of his mouth.
In another set of looks, she combed her hair in a high bun, wore a silver beaded hairpin, and wore a plain white dress, the whole person was gentle and melancholy, and she was like a classical beauty with ice and jade, just like coming out of an ancient painting.
But when the feature film was broadcast, everyone was dumbfounded again. It's not ugly, it's just that it doesn't look the same as the makeup photo!
The saint Tianhuan of "Buddha's mouth and snake heart" is no longer amazed, and the hair bag on the top of her head has been collapsed for some reason, turning into a funny Nezha head, which looks very funny, and the new earrings are far from being as good-looking as before.
Ye Bingsheng's second set of looks was originally with multi-layered hair, wearing a beautiful hairpin bead hairpin, and white clothes, which looked very fresh and refined. But in the feature film, the coiled hair became a half-parted haircut, and the previous design was all messed up
The multi-layered coiled hair was later used on another set of purple clothes, and the eyebrow pendant also looked more elegant, but to be honest, it was still not as stunning as Ye Bingsheng's previous style, which was a little disappointing.
After the change, it became a classic
Of course, not all crews will change their makeup to ugliness, and there are also many film and television works whose makeup photos are very different from feature films, but they have achieved classics in the hearts of the audience.
Whenever "The Legend of Ruyi" is mentioned, some people naturally compare "The Legend of Zhen Huan". From the plot point of view, "The Legend of Zhen Huan" is the predecessor of "The Legend of Ruyi", but the reputation is very different.
The comparison between the makeup photos of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" and the shape of the feature film also made many netizens sigh: whether you are attentive or not, it is different!
First of all, Sun Li, who is the heroine, Zhen Huan she plays in the play is peerless with a smile and a smile, and the styles of different ages also have completely different styles, and the number of shapes is dazzling.
Not every set of looks in her makeup photos is shown in the play, for example, this blue suit is not used in the play. But I have to say that compared with Zhen Huan's appearance after returning to the palace in the play, this set of blue and gold is not suitable for Sun Li at all, but is unbearable.
Another set of looks was also abandoned, I don't know if it's too graceful and luxurious, and the jewelry on the head will be out of breath when it looks like it.
Concubine Jing and Concubine Qi in the play also changed their looks, perhaps because of the change of roles that led to the corresponding change in makeup style, but I have to say that they are more suitable for the characteristics of the two, so that people can remember who is who at a glance.
What's more, although the characters have priorities, everyone's makeup photos can show the character's personality vividly, which is really different from the cookie-cutter makeup of some costume dramas.
There was a similar situation in the 2003 broadcast of "Heaven and Dragon Slayer", when Gao Yuanyuan played Zhou Zhiruo, with a pair of beautiful eyes moist and moving, the cinnabar in the center of the eyebrows was as cold as a fairy, and the dispute with Jia Jingwen's version of Zhao Min's "Red and White Roses" was not inferior.
But in fact, Zhou Zhiruo's initial makeup photos were not like this, the two buns on her head not only failed to highlight the beauty of Gao Yuanyuan, but the whole person looked like a "bulky feeling". Fortunately, it was changed to the final shape in the feature film, otherwise I don't know how much behind Zhao Min would be.
epilogue
Makeup and styling are very important for actors, not only to make them look more beautiful, but more importantly, to help them better express the characteristics of the character. Makeup artists and stylists must be very careful when making makeup for actors, and strive to make the actors look their best.
Because a proper makeup and styling can make actors more attractive in the play, and even make them look more beautiful and temperamental.
However, if the makeup and styling are not done well, even the most beautiful actors may not look so good, and may even make the whole play less than ideal.
