Judging from the data of recent decades, costume fairy dramas have a fixed and steadily expanding audience, have great market space, and have long been popular. The typical advantage of these works to the actors is the "long tail effect", precisely because the background of the times is overhead, the character setting is extraordinary, the audience can play freely for the characters, and the second is to create a story outside the script, giving the characters a longer life, so that the actors can leave a more profound impression in the hearts of the audience.
However, not every actor who starred in the Xian Xia drama was fortunate enough to enjoy such "treatment", Luo Qiuyun did it, she was lucky. In "Ancient Dust", the Moon Mi she played was offline on June 20, and nearly two weeks have passed, but the heat has not faded at all, but there is a trend of climbing. With the rise of the reputation of the series, more and more new viewers have entered the game and increased their attention to her, and the earliest batch of audiences are still immersed in the unfortunate encounters of the characters, and they are unable to extricate themselves, and they have spontaneously edited personal and CP videos for them, and all kinds of "LaLang" and "La Niang" videos are also emerging in an endless stream.
Although Yuemi went offline, it has also become the most heart-wrenching "yi difficult peace" in the hearts of the audience in 2021.
01
Adapted from the novel "Ancient" written by Star Zero, "Ancient Dust" is an S+ grade fairy drama that has attracted much attention since the preparatory period, and its popularity has remained high after landing on Tencent Video. The story tells the love story of the true god GuGu (zhou Dongyu) and Bai Jue (Xu Kai) who have survived several lives and deaths, and are still deeply in love. Luo Qiuyun plays the god of the stars and moons, Yuemi, as a girlfriend who grew up with the ancients, to help her guard Cangsheng.
Tsukimi also has an independent emotional line, she has a crush on another true god in the divine realm (Liu Xueyi) in the long divine life, unfortunately, Apocalypse loves the ancients and takes it as her duty to protect her. She loves him, he loves her, and it sounds like a dog-blooded love triangle story – no, no, no! If in an eight-o'clock soap opera for love, Tsukimi inevitably became a "villain", how could she gain such a high popularity now?
In "Ancient Dust", Tsukimi loves but is not jealous. She treated the ancients like a sister, and in the early days of the ancients, she helped clean up the mess; when the ancients had something on their minds, she tried her best to enlighten them. Everyone calls The Ancients "Little Highness", and only Tsukimi can really get close to the Ancients and listen to her stories.
Yuemi knew early on that the Apocalypse Heart was related to the Ancients, and she also knew that the Ancient Hearts were hanging on Bai Jue's body, but she never obstructed them. She knows that emotions cannot be forced, so she does not mix with the feelings of others, and never angers others because her love is not answered. When she talked about the apocalypse with the "love enemy" Shanggu, there was no jealousy or resentment in her eyes, and she was frank.
Yuemi is awake, and Luo Qiuyun also performs the free energy on her.
The role of the confidant sister is already very pleasing, and the characteristics of "love but not humble" in Tsukimi are very consistent with the independent female elements that have become popular in the past one or two years.
Does a woman who falls in love have to be a vassal of men and unconditionally cater to men? The answer is no. Although she has not won the favor of her beloved, she will not be self-contemptuous and self-deprecating, and she can still confidently say that "this jun must have a good look, and she must have the ability to have the ability", and did not let herself be in the lower position.
Therefore, it is also possible to persuade the elderly who are also caught in emotional problems not to deliberately cater to the people they like.
Yuemi dared to love, dare to hate, dare to gamble, she bet that her beloved would not disregard the lives of innocent people for the sake of power, bet that her vision would not be wrong, and chose to ignore the scolding of the Three Realms and share the apocalypse in the battle of the Annihilation Array. She won the bet, but lost her life, causing the audience to be heartbroken.
The audience is accustomed to seeing the female characters of the "love brain", and there are many people who are oblivious to love and even blacken and betray relatives and friends, and the appearance of Tsukimi gives people a refreshing feeling. In this costume drama, Tsukimi is a "new age woman" who gives a lot of power. It is precisely because Tsukimi can't get the love but is still strong, but it makes the audience feel sad, and it is called "the ceiling of the Xianxia drama".

The role is set up well, does not mean that the actor must be able to circle the fans, on the contrary, if the role is not accurately interpreted, the actor's acting skills will be criticized. The data shows that since starring in "Ancient Dust", Luo Qiuyun once increased her fans by 120,000 per day, gaining a large number of fans and praise, and the audience's preferences are the most intuitive reflection of the actor's performance results.
Xian Xia drama is not easy to perform, it is precisely because it is overhead, there is no prototype to refer to, and many spells and actions need to be added later, and there is no physical performance, so it is very testing the actor's sense of faith. If the actor does not believe in the worldview constructed by the script, one move and one style will look like a family, which is easy to make the audience play.
From "Fengyi" and "Tonight and Tonight" to today's "Ancient Dust", Luo Qiuyun is recognized as an actor suitable for ancient costumes. Exquisite facial features, slender and straight, just from the appearance of the appearance is quite ancient, raised hands and feet also pay special attention to imitating the habits of ancient women.
The moment the camera is aimed at her, it can bring people into the play. At the same time, Tsukimi's story line belongs to the typical BE (Bad Ending), tragedy is to break the beautiful things, if the BE drama wants to stand out from the environment where the public is generally happy to see a happy ending, the actors must play the two extremes of "beautiful" in the early stage of the story and the "tragic" after the breaking to the extreme.
Before the apocalypse activated the Extinction Array, although Yuemi was unrequited, she was also happy. Whenever I am alone with my sweetheart, it is difficult to hide my excitement and pleasure. When she learned that Apocalypse did not want to be punished because she was afraid of not seeing the Ancients, she pretended to be angry and heard Apocalypse half-jokingly coax her "Of course you are very important to me", Luo Qiuyun accurately interpreted the girl's uncontrollable happiness, and could not help but laugh, even if the main camera was not facing her at that time. For actors, the moment they enter the group is when they become roles, and they are not divided into shots and outs.
Luo Qiuyun also pays attention to the handling of small actions with personal characteristics. In the "Shura Field", which is in the same room as Apocalypse and Elder, Tsukimi knows that Apocalypse wants her to play with Elder, but in order to assist Elder and Bai Jue's relationship, she declares that she has something to do tomorrow and cannot swim with Elder. Seeing that the "plan" of the apocalypse did not succeed and showed dissatisfaction, Luo Qiuyun added details to the characters to spit out their tongues and make grimaces, although not so serious, but quite joyful, but let the audience shout "Apocalypse Moon Mi kswl".
Although Tsukimi has always been a "single arrow", she can make the audience feel the joy of a woman getting along with her sweetheart.
When the sugar is finished, the abuse comes. Although Tsukimi has always been happy, in the face of the apocalypse's "straight male speech", she often turns from joy to sorrow. In the face of the sweet words of the apocalypse, her eyes were full of expectations, but the other party only wanted to marry her as a brother and sister. At that moment, the light in Luo Qiuyun's eyes dimmed and he was disappointed.
During the Great War of the First World, everyone firmly believed in the Apocalypse Rebellion, and only Tsukimi was willing to believe that he had a bitter heart. After the persuasion failed, she chose to join the Apocalypse, and the words "No one in the world believes in you, I believe" wept blood, and the tragedy was incomparable.
The contrast between the happiness of the early stage and the sentence "Don't let the ancients hate you" that he struggled to say before dying, one joy and one sorrow, the jade was broken, and also achieved the BE aesthetic that belonged to Tsukimi.

Yuemi is unique in setting, and Luo Qiuyun performs to the fullest, making the audience fall in love with this brave and free god. It is worth mentioning that the first role played by Luo Qiuyun after walking out of the campus is actually a villain, and she has the courage to challenge the villain role.
Her Virgo "Fengyi" is also a costume play, in which she plays the simple, but actually cruel palace girl Ban Ling'er in front of the person. It seems that people and animals are harmless and silly and sweet, but in fact, they have repeatedly done tricks behind their backs, but they can always escape responsibility. Luo Qiuyun's first important role was "standing" in the audience's mind, affecting everyone's emotions.
Perhaps because of the good foundation of performance, he achieved the first place in the performance department of the Shanghai Theater Academy and the third place in the Central Academy of Drama during the art examination. But she did not choose to get the first drama in the acting department, but went to the Chinese opera, actively accumulated drama performance experience during the school period, luo Qiuyun debuted after most of the works have a certain degree of difficulty, as soon as she graduated, she entered the HARD mode.
She is extremely malleable and willing to try a variety of genres, in addition to her suitable costumes, she can also control the period drama. After that, "Spy Battle Deep Sea Sting" is a spy war drama that has repeatedly broken 1 in the ratings of that year, and Chen Xia, who she played in it, has a complex life, a full arc of characters, and extremely high requirements for the performance level of the actors.
Chen Xia is a girl who grew up in pampering, smart and cute, but blind since childhood, innocent with a hint of sadness.
After healing his eyes, he was used by the Japanese and repeatedly trapped his relatives in danger. From "blind eyes and not blind heart" to "eyes not blind and blind heart blind", Luo Qiuyun's temperament has changed greatly.
Until the final epiphany, choosing to sacrifice himself to protect others, this character who carried many complaints from the audience also drew everyone's tears.
"As an actor, I shouldn't just play a persona, play a likable persona and make the audience like me, but I should dare to challenge myself in terms of acting skills and let myself continue to improve professionally." 」 Do yourself well, play your role, and you're good." Luo Qiuyun said in an interview that year.
What kind of role can impress and improve himself, what kind of role is worth shaping and stirring the audience's emotions, this is what Luo Qiuyun pursues. Just like in "Tonight and Tonight", the Zi Iris she plays is also a woman who is willing to pay for love, free and spontaneous, and the image of the later body being weak, full of unspeakable secrets and alienating the lover, is also painful.
Whether it is the role with two-sided contrast in the first two works, or the woman struggling with the love between men and women in the fashion drama "Don't Lie Lover", or the tragic role in today's "Ancient Dust", Luo Qiuyun has devoted herself to playing, and each play is a valuable experience.
Many of the characters in "Ancient Dust" will go through three lifetimes, and there will be multiple reincarnations. In the plot broadcast a few days ago, Tsukimi appeared in the memories of the apocalypse after the rebirth, which caused the audience to sigh with emotion.
Everyone wants her to come back to life and tell her thoughts in the barrage... This is the charm that Luo Qiuyun gives to the character. In the future, audiences will see her in more works such as "Hello, Sharpshooter" and "Spring Girl Dreamer".
As an actress, she has areas of expertise but never stays in the comfort zone, but is willing to constantly try and discover new "territory" that belongs to her. In life, she describes herself as "simple, free, real, and challenging", daring to try basketball, surfing, boxing, skiing, skydiving and other contrasting sports, and gaining a variety of experiences. She knows how to live, not only infects everyone with her own attitude towards life. At the same time, it can also give more colors to the characters, so that each character is "fresh" and textured, and the strong empathy and perception make you look forward to each of her works.
