In 2018, the highly anticipated TV series "The Legend of Ruyi" finally met the audience.
The play has an investment of up to 300 million yuan, starring the powerful actress Zhou Xun.
Coupled with the joining of well-known actors such as Wang Likun and Dong Jie, it is undoubtedly a luxurious highlight.
At the beginning of filming, the crew was determined to create the next "The Legend of Zhen Huan", to reproduce the glory of Qing court dramas.
Unexpectedly, as soon as this hugely expensive work was broadcast, it was frenzied by the audience.
From the costumes, plot details to the actors' acting skills, all aspects have been criticized.
Many viewers bluntly said that "The Legend of Ruyi" is not worthy of being compared with "The Legend of Zhen Huan" at all.
CCTV also criticized the problem of the show's sky-high remuneration with regret.
In the end, in the midst of doubts, "The Legend of Ruyi" was forced to be temporarily removed from the shelves.
For this result, the crew is obviously very regretful.
After all, the investment in the early stage is so great, and the actors and crew have put in too much effort.
The director team has high expectations for Zhou Xun, a popular actress, and regards her as a well-deserved starring role.
However, the performance of "The Legend of Ruyi" was far less than expected, and it failed to receive praise, which really made people sigh.
The center of the controversy naturally focused on Zhou Xun's performance.
As the absolute protagonist of this drama, she stuffed her nearly 40-year-old self into the young role of Ruyi.
This gives the feeling of "wearing the wrong costume" in a way.
What's more, from her performance, people don't seem to see a deep understanding and interpretation of this character.
In fact, Zhou Xun participated in the script creation stage of "The Legend of Ruyi" throughout the whole process.
It stands to reason that she should have a fairly deep understanding of the role she plays.
But why is the final presentation so unsatisfactory?
Many commentators have pointed out that this just shows that Zhou Xun has a bias in understanding and shaping this role.
She may have been influenced by her own experience, projecting too much personal color onto Ruyi.
So that this character finally presents some weirdness that does not match the historical facts.
In addition to Zhou Xun's personal problems, the flaws in the production of the crew cannot be ignored.
Many viewers complained that in terms of costumes, props, scene layout, etc., "The Legend of Ruyi" seems too rough.
The style of painting often abruptly switches back and forth between the traditional Qing style and the modern sense, lacking uniformity.
Even Ruyi, who was born in a famous family and has a prominent status, looks out of place from time to time in the play.
The omission of these details undoubtedly affects the overall viewing experience.
After the broadcast, the controversy did not stop, but increased day by day.
Film critics and self-media have launched rounds of criticism of "The Legend of Ruyi".
It was dismantled and analysed from the detail to the macro level.
Especially on video platforms such as Station B, there have been a large number of movie-watching, sharing and complaining videos involving "The Legend of Ruyi".
A new phenomenon of network culture has been formed.
In the face of the continuous fermentation of online public opinion, Zhou Xun's studio's approach has caused a greater backlash.
They try to resist criticism by reporting and taking it down.
But this high-pressure approach has aroused greater dissatisfaction among netizens.
Soon, the spearhead shifted from "The Legend of Ruyi" itself to Zhou Xun.
In fact, it is not difficult for us to see that the failure of "The Legend of Ruyi" is largely large.
It stems from a misunderstanding of the characters by the creators and actors.
Ruyi is a very complex historical figure with multiple aspects such as wisdom, courage, and cruelty at the same time.
It's hard to generalize simply.
It's a pity that the crew is digging and showing this role at the same time.
It seems to pursue the so-called "atmosphere" and "luxury" too much, thus ignoring the inherent richness and three-dimensionality of the characters.
Ruyi often has a posture of being high up and looking down on all beings in the play, which is difficult for people to resonate.
This thin way of shaping is destined to make it difficult for the audience to buy it.
Moreover, he has a half-understanding of the life of the Qing palace and is careless in the handling of details.
has made "The Legend of Ruyi" have too many flaws and omissions on the basis of restoring history.
In comparison, "The Legend of Zhen Huan" has done a lot better, showing all aspects of Qing court life in a good way.
Let the audience have an immersive and immersive experience.
The biggest regret of this series is probably that the crew has sincerity and strength.
However, there are many deficiencies at the specific implementation level.
Even with the joining of a first-line superstar like Zhou Xun, in the end, it still failed to push the whole work to the peak.
Compared with the previous "The Legend of Zhen Huan", which had the name of "abuse text".
"The Legend of Ruyi" is too inferior in terms of presentation techniques and details.
At the end of the day, it's the show that has lost its goodwill in front of the public.
It is because it misses out on "down-to-earth" and "close to life".
On the one hand, it is too deliberate in its pursuit of so-called "big production" and "extravagance".
So that the final effect is contrary to the yang and the yin, and the appearance is empty.
; On the other hand, it ignores the unique psychological depiction of the characters' hearts, making all the characters seem thin and too flat.
When a drama is neither simple and true close to life, but also lacks the richness and delicacy of the inner world of the characters.
It's hard to win the audience's resonance and approval.
While attracting attention, we should also pay attention to the excavation of human nature. This is exactly what "The Legend of Ruyi" lacks.
Reflecting on this event, perhaps the most crucial thing is that as a producer and an actor, there should be a sense of awe for the work.
Of course, this incident is also a wake-up call for us.
In a lavish series with huge investments and star-studded stars, we tend to expect too much from it and neglect the fundamentals of production.
If a work wants to be well received, it is not enough to rely on the blessing of stars and big productions.
What is more important is the inner creative foundation. Every practitioner should have sufficient awareness of this.
Now, this incident has long passed, and Zhou Xun has also restored her reputation in the entertainment industry.
But this lesson she has experienced will surely become a valuable lesson in her life.
In the upcoming new works, we look forward to seeing her more in-depth and three-dimensional interpretation of the role.
reproduces her past acting skills.
And practitioners in the entertainment industry should also learn this lesson and firmly establish a sense of awe for their works and human nature.
Create more excellent works with sincerity and ingenuity.
