In "The Legend of Zhen Huan", Zhen Huan's aura is so bright that people have to wear sunglasses, but what about Nian Shilan? She was like accidentally stepping on a landmine in the script, and she was accidentally played as a typical villain in the palace fighting drama. What the hell is going on? Let's talk about this topic today.
First of all, we have to talk about this Nian Shilan, she was a great beauty in history, and she was still a smart concubine who was deeply favored by the emperor. How did you become a character who specializes in flipping tables in the TV series? Nian Shilan in the play is simply the spokesperson of "jealousy, small belly and chicken intestines", and she can't see Zhen Huan well, this change makes many history fans so angry that they drop the remote control.
Moreover, the "insults" to her in the play are not limited to these. For example, there is a plot in the play that shows that Yongzheng does not let Nian Shilan get pregnant, which is simply a novel bigger than the sky! In history, Nian Shilan gave birth to many princes, how did she become a tragic role of infertility in the play? Isn't this a blatant attempt to mislead the audience and misunderstand history?
Let's take a look at Zhen Huan again, she is simply perfect and impeccable in the play, smart, witty, kind, and beautiful, almost a typical example of a perfect heroine. Through comparison, Nian Shilan's image is even more vulnerable. This contrast between black and white, although it makes the plot look quite attractive, also makes people feel that this setting is a bit too deliberate, and even a little unfair.
This extreme contrast of character settings not only makes Nian Shilan's character very abrupt, but also greatly reduces the realism of the whole play. When the audience watches dramas, especially historical dramas, although they know that there will be fiction, they also hope to have an understanding of history while enjoying the story, rather than being led astray.
Next, we can't help but talk about the misleading effect of this treatment on the audience. Many people may misunderstand this history because of the description in the play, thinking that Nian Shilan is really that kind of little person. This is clearly not enough for respect for historical figures. When creating historical dramas, the production team should not only ensure the artistic effect, but also take into account the authenticity and educational significance of history.
Moreover, although this kind of extreme characterization can attract the audience's attention and increase the topicality in a short time, in the long run, it may damage the depth and reputation of the play. The audience is becoming more and more mature, and the requirements for content are getting higher and higher, and a single "black and white face" setting may make the audience feel that it lacks novelty and depth.
In short, although the drama "The Legend of Zhen Huan" has done a good job in the performance of the actors and the attractiveness of the plot, it does have some "merits and demerits" in dealing with the image of some key characters. It is hoped that the creation of historical dramas in the future can show the complexity of the characters in a more balanced way on the basis of respecting history, so as to enrich the plot and improve the audience's viewing experience. And for us ordinary viewers, we should also maintain a critical thinking attitude, not be misled by the plot, and at the same time enjoy this kind of educational historical entertainment.
In this expectation, we are not only watching a visual and emotional feast, but also glimpsing a corner of history through the screen, feeling the fate and emotional entanglement of the characters of that era. Only in this way can historical dramas truly become a bridge between the past and the present, allowing us to reflect and learn deeply while being entertained.
