Preface
Although these emotional experiences constitute a wonderful life, there will also be some people who choose to escape from the disturbances of the world, choose to take refuge in Buddhism, and live a life without desires.
Men who choose to become monks are called monks, and women who become nuns become nuns, and if they choose to live in this way, they will devote themselves to the practice in the temple and will no longer be disturbed by any feelings.
As the saying goes, drama comes from life, and in the plot of TV dramas, there are often scenes of "cutting hair for nuns", the purpose is to cut off the red dust and just seek purity.
However, some actors play "nuns" that are a bit excessive, completely detached from real life, and are really embarrassed to act, and the feeling across the screen is extremely dramatic.
Of course, not all the nuns played by actors are like this, and there are also powerful actors who interpret the nuns' mental journey to the fullest.
Looking at the nuns played by actors such as Jia Jingwen, Yin Tao and Sun Li together, the difference between them is clear at a glance.
Nuns in "see-through suits".
Although many years have passed since then, every time you see the words about this drama, it can still evoke everyone's first impression of watching the drama in the early years.
In the early years, she became the "pure jade girl" in the audience's minds with Zhao Min in "Heaven and Dragon Slayer", and the character characteristics of both good and evil were shown very well.
The smart and beautiful Alyssa Jia makes the image of the character Zhao Min more three-dimensional, and the classic version of "Heaven and Dragon Slayer" is really boring.
Therefore, Alyssa Jia's performance in "Supreme Red Face" is still very exciting, after all, she is a powerful actress with both appearance and acting skills, and I believe that she will have an extraordinary performance.
Sure enough, Jia Jingwen's extraordinary performance in this drama was once rated as "the most beautiful Wu Meiniang" by the audience, although her acting skills are online, her overall performance has received a lot of praise.
However, it is difficult to agree with the conception of some details of "Supreme Red Face", and some of the plots have been seriously detached from history.
Especially Wu Meiniang's role as a nun is really shocking, Jia Jingwen's nun appearance is far from the real nun's appearance, it is simply irrelevant.
Nuns are generally innocent and have no desires, but Wu Meiniang's dress in the nunnery is bold and avant-garde, wearing a low-necked see-through clothes, and the looming tulle sets off the good figure vividly, which is inevitably intriguing.
It is difficult not to wonder if Wu Meiniang's real purpose of being a nun is to practice or to "visit here"?
The monk's dress looks so nondescript on Wu Meiniang's body, making it difficult for the audience to take their eyes off her charming body curves when watching TV.
The truth of all this was finally revealed when Li Zhi came to the temple, and it turned out that Wu Meiniang's real purpose was to wait for the opportunity and wait for the emperor's opportunity to regain his favor.
But "acting" at least has a beginning and an end, when the emperor was tempted by her "nun" image, Wu Meiniang also seriously admonished the emperor to "be sober, she is now a monk".
Obviously, this is just a matter of saying, otherwise how could she successfully return to the palace and finally become Wu Zetian?
However, there is one thing to say, although Alyssa Jia's overall performance in "Supreme Red Face" is remarkable, but this scene of being a nun is really inappropriate.
The work that is divorced from real life is too dramatic, and Wu Meiniang's appearance is extremely disrespectful to the monks who are concentrating on cultivation.
Nuns with delicate makeup
Of course, it's not just Jia Jingwen's nun style that makes people play, in the early years, the powerful actor Yin Tao also played Wu Meiniang, and it was inevitable that the nun style appeared, so compared with Wu Meiniang played by Jia Jingwen, will Yin Tao be more brilliant?
Yin Tao's drama is called "The Secret History of Wu Zetian", as an epic masterpiece, from the age of 14 to enter the palace, Yin Tao played a 14-year-old girl really has no disobedience, just the appearance of the first appearance has already amazed the audience.
Yin Tao can well grasp the immaturity and cuteness of the girl, as well as the charm of Wu Meiniang in the girlhood, the two complement each other under Yin Tao's performance, which is an extremely test of acting skills for actors.
Although Yin Tao's overall performance is remarkable, the only failure is still the scene where she became a nun, which is really indescribable.
Although compared with Alyssa Jia's Wu Meiniang, there is no such exaggerated costume shape, and the head shape is also inverted, showing a bald image.
Although Yin Tao has boldly broken through herself, there is nothing wrong with this bald head shape for long-distance shooting, but once the lens is pulled closer, when the face is shot, the shortcomings are exposed.
First of all, this shiny big bald head, like a big head, the effect has been so that you can't see a single bun. It completely blends in with the skin of the face, which is really "fake".
Secondly, on this bald face, there is a face with delicate makeup, abrupt false eyelashes, eyeshadow and eyeliner are all outlining the eyes, and the makeup is very inconsistent with the bald image.
Therefore, what is fake is fake after all, no matter how much trouble is spent on manufacturing, the abrupt nun shape is still not acceptable to the audience.
A nun who has no desires
There is no harm if there is no comparison, Sun Li also starred in a nun scene, in contrast, Sun Li can be interpreted fresh and refined, unique, and praised.
Every time "The Legend of Zhen Huan" is mentioned, the audience's memory is definitely Zhen Huan's advanced process of "killing enemies and fighting monsters" all the way, from the innocence of entering the palace to becoming the master of the harem, Zhen Huan's psychological portrayal at each stage is very in place under Sun Li's interpretation.
Even if this drama has been on the air for more than ten years, it is still tireless to watch, and palace fighting dramas will never lack an audience, so the love for "The Legend of Zhen Huan" is still hot even after many years.
The stage when Zhen Huan went to Ganlu Temple to practice is said to be an important turning point for the characters, without this practice, there may not be the "blackening" behind.
During Zhen Huan's time in Ganlu Temple, there was no gorgeous dress or exaggerated makeup, but she was extremely simple, wearing the traditional costumes of the nunnery, and exuding a fresh and elegant character temperament.
Even standing in the crowd, Zhen Huan does not look outstanding, no different from the maids and monks beside her, and has achieved more than 90% reduction of nuns.
In fact, it is impossible to completely grasp the audience by relying on the outside alone, what really brings the audience into is Zhen Huan's psychological changes during the cultivation period.
The battle in the courtyard of the deep palace made her physically and mentally exhausted, and the ruthlessness of the emperor's family made her hopeless, and in the end she realized that she had just made a mistake.
After the characters have experienced such a big change, their natural psychology will become extremely depressed, Sun Li interpreted the character's psychology just right when she played Zhen Huan, and it is precisely because of Sun Li's dedication that this drama will still be evocative to this day.
