The Kangxi Emperor was the second emperor after the Entry of the Qing Dynasty, reigned for 61 years, was the longest reigning emperor in the history of the Qing Dynasty and even China, and his role was also one of the best among the emperors of the Qing Dynasty, such as Zhi Bao Ao Bai, Ping San Fan, Three Expeditions to Gardan, The Seizure of Taiwan, rejection of Tsarist Russia, etc., was a heroic and ambitious emperor, and also a well-known emperor in Chinese history.
Because the Kangxi Emperor reigned for a long time, and has a great deed, it is a very good film and television drama theme, so the modern film and television dramas about the Kangxi Emperor can be described as countless, and different versions of the Kangxi Emperor have also given the audience different feelings, but to say that the Kangxi Emperor with the highest recognition from the audience today is the Jiao Huang version of the Kangxi Emperor in the "Yongzheng Dynasty" released in 1999, and the Chen Daoming version of the Kangxi Emperor in the "Kangxi Dynasty" released in 2001, the Douban score is as high as 9.2 points.
Then the Jiao Huang version of the Kangxi Emperor and the Chen Daoming version of the Kangxi Emperor are strong and weak, today Song Anzhi to analyze it.
For these two versions of the Kangxi Emperor, most people's evaluations are as follows: "Chen Daoming is playing the Kangxi Emperor, and Jiao Huang is the Kangxi Emperor."
On this point personally think that the evaluation is very pertinent, although Chen Daoming acted very well, you can still see the performance traces, Jiao Huang's version of the Kangxi Emperor is completely natural, giving people the feeling that he is the Kangxi Emperor, even for the Yongzheng Emperor played by Tang Guoqiang, the aura is also stable, as for why it is said, there are three main reasons.
First, in terms of acting skills, Chen Daoming's acting skills are very good, but Jiao Huang is slightly higher
In the show business circle, there is such a chain of acting skills, drama actors > film actors> TV drama actors.
Why do you say this, because the drama actor can be described as "one minute on stage, ten years offstage", because the drama is a live performance, the actor's every move on the stage must be watched by the audience, can only be passed once, the requirements are very high, it is impossible to perform a mistake and say "card, another one".
Like now, many old drama bones are drama actors, and powerful actors such as Jiao Huang, Ni Dahong, Feng Yuanzheng, Pu Cunxin, He Bing and so on are all drama actors.
Secondly, although the movie is not a live performance, you can do it again, but after all, it takes dozens of minutes to perform a life experience of up to a hundred minutes, and even a person's life and death, so the requirements for acting are very high.
As for the TV series, after all, it is generally dozens of episodes, less is also a dozen or twenty episodes, and a few episodes of TV series are rare, so such a long plot is not so demanding for performance.
Of course, this is only a distinction under normal circumstances, does not represent an absolute difference between high and low, and actors from TV dramas also have good acting skills.
In this distinction, Jiao Huang is a drama actor, acting skills that need not be said, and before contacting TV series, Jiao Huang's reputation in the drama industry is already one of the best, the drama industry has always had the saying of "South Jiao Bei Yu", of which "Nan Jiao" refers to Jiao Huang, and even the audience sent Jiao Huang an elegant name "Shakespeare Prince".
Although Chen Daoming has also performed dramas, he is not a drama actor, although his acting skills are very good, but he is worse than Jiao Huang.
Of course, it cannot be said that because Jiao Huang is a drama actor, his acting skills are definitely better than Chen Daoming's, mainly because the performances of two people in "Yongzheng Dynasty" and "Kangxi Dynasty" have already reflected this nuance.
In the "Yongzheng Dynasty", Jiao Huang portrayed the emperor's non-anger and self-esteem, as well as the sense of distress about the calm at that time, but the dark tide surging situation, and what is even more rare is that Jiao Huang removed the Kangxi Emperor in his later years as the emperor, and the father's side was also vividly displayed, in the face of the war between the 9 sons, as well as the various forces above the court, showed a very deep power and scheming technique is more than enough, but also shows the ambivalence of being a father who is not willing to give a heavy hand to his son. Therefore, the seizure of the Ninth Son's concubine became more and more intense, and there was no trace of performance, which could be called a natural achievement, making people think that he was the Kangxi Emperor.
In contrast, the Kangxi Emperor played by Chen Daoming, although it is also very classic, is expressed in a hysterical way in some key plots, although the use of this method does not mean that there is no acting, but the number of times is more, you can always feel some performance traces, giving people a feeling of performance overpower, so many people think that although Chen Daoming played the Kangxi Emperor, although it is very similar, but it is ultimately acting, you can see the performance traces.
There are even people who think that Chen Daoming is playing what Chen Daoming, of course, this view personally thinks that the words are heavy, Chen Daoming still has acting skills, but compared with The Shakespeare prince like Jiao Huang, there is still a slight gap.
Second, there are three major factors in successful film and television works: script, actor acting skills, and the director's ability to master the overall situation
A classic film and television work, the script is very important, it can be said that it is the soul of the whole play, the script is good, the actor even if it is not known, but as long as the acting skills can be, it will be good, of course, the actor is also very important, if the script is the soul, then the actor is an interesting soul concretization, you can rely on superb acting skills to make this interesting soul have a good external appearance, so some scripts are generally even bad film and television works, why can the audience insist on watching it, it is all supported by the actor's good acting skills.
It can be said that actors and scripts complement each other, and the two can be combined to play to the extreme; if Jiao Huang and "Yongzheng Dynasty" are typical of good actors and good scripts, then Chen Daoming and "Kangxi Dynasty" can also be said to be successful examples, but there is no harm without comparison, so the former is a classic, and the latter can only be said to be successful, because the latter is too big in the script.
Of course, the director is also very important, the director must grasp the overall situation, such as the selection of roles, control of costumes and props, the choice of set venues, etc., as long as there is a problem with one link, the whole work is greatly discounted.
In terms of script comparison, "Yongzheng Dynasty" is obviously much stronger than "Kangxi Dynasty", "Yongzheng Dynasty" is adapted from Mr. February River's novel "Yongzheng Emperor", written by Liu Heping himself, Liu Heping is China's top screenwriter, to put it bluntly, Liu Heping represents the highest level of screenwriting in China, is the strongest grade.
The "Kangxi Dynasty" is much inferior in comparison, although it is also adapted from Mr. February River's novel "Kangxi Emperor", written by Zhu Sujin, but the degree of adaptation is very large, and it has not been changed to a good direction, although Zhu Sujin can also be said to be a first-class screenwriter, but compared to Liu Heping, there is still a significant gap.
First of all, in terms of historical facts, there are also places where "Yongzheng Dynasty" and historical facts are different, but on the whole, there are not many places; and there are many places where "Kangxi Dynasty" does not match historical facts; such as Empress Xiaozhuang is the grandmother of the Kangxi Emperor, and the title of Empress Xiaozhuang only begins with Xiaozhuang after her death, that is to say, the title of Empress Xiaozhuang only appears after her death, and this error in the play is not to say, it seems to be deliberately emphasized that Empress Xiaozhuang, played by Sichenggawa, can't stop saying how I am Xiaozhuang, which makes people feel embarrassed.
There is also Su Ma Lama in history and Empress Xiaozhuang is the same generation, is the maid of Empress Xiaozhuang, the status is very special, is the Kangxi Emperor's grandmother's generation of figures, but in the "Kangxi Dynasty" is to become a few years old maid accepted by Empress Xiaozhuang, after growing up, young and beautiful, not to mention, but also ambiguous relationship with the Kangxi Emperor.
Obvious mistakes like this are really quite a few in the Kangxi Dynasty.
Of course, it is normal to have discrepancies with historical facts, after all, costume TV dramas are not historical restoration dramas, it is impossible to completely restore that period of history according to the history books, it is certain to change more or less, add theme ideas, increase some audience favorite elements, etc., so the key is not in the difference with historical facts, but in the logic of the whole drama is reasonable and unreasonable, in the end is not clear and the story is wonderful, so that people are praised for it, this is the real key, it is obvious that in logic, "Yongzheng Dynasty" is better than "Yongzheng Dynasty" "Kangxi Dynasty" is too reasonable and too much, and the two are not in the same grade.
In the general direction, the plot of "Yongzheng Dynasty" is compact, the interpretation of the art of power is very wonderful, it is not dragging mud and water at all, so that people feel that they are still unfinished after watching it; of course, this is also its shortcomings, because the plot is too compact, so there is no heroine who really runs through the whole play, whether it is the empress who started the Four Blessings and Jin Dynasty, or the Nian Qiuyue who became a political victim, or Qiao Yingdi, who was born tragically but has a unique personality, although he can be regarded as the heroine, but he always feels that the role is too small and difficult to run through the whole. Not the real heroine, so it is considered by many to be a TV series where men fight.
And because the Qing Dynasty's court political struggle is interpreted into three points, there is no brisk rhythm, whether it is the old Kangxi Emperor in the early stage, or the Yongzheng Emperor who worked hard in the back, it gives people the feeling that although the emperor is alive and dead and seizing power, the emperor is not good, it is difficult to be, and the portrayal of the dark and grumpy side of the Yongzheng Emperor also reflects the ordinary side of the emperor, and finally the old thirteenth and Yongzheng have been alive and tired, giving people a depressed feeling as a whole. Therefore, it is not loved by female audiences; but this is also a rather grounded portrayal technique, so that people can see that the real emperor is actually helpless and helpless.
The Kangxi Emperor in "Kangxi Dynasty" is less skillful, giving the audience the feeling that the Kangxi Emperor is like fighting monsters and upgrading, like divine help, with a strong personal heroism, unlike the "Yongzheng Dynasty" in the scheming technique is very sufficient, and many characters are very plump, so in the Yong opera, not only the Scorched Kangxi Emperor and Tang Guoqiang's Yongzheng Emperor classic, the classic roles of Nian Tangyao, Zhang Tingyu, Li Wei, Lao Thirteen, Lao Ba, etc. are also impressive, it can be said that since the Yong Opera, There is no one who is out of his right in the Qing Palace drama.
In "Kangxi Dynasty", because of the lack of script level, many plot injuries are obvious or logically confused; such as the Kangxi Emperor let the princess go and kiss the great enemy Gardan, not to say that history does not have this at all, that is, the logic is also a fantasy, and the noble concubine was actually smashed to death by the toilet, and the former Ming Zhu Third Prince was colluding with Wu Sangui, and assassinated the Kangxi Emperor many times, there is no such crazy death situation in history, the mainstream theory is that The Third Prince Zhu did not have the heart to rebel, but was executed by the Kangxi Emperor. In the play, Prince Zhu San is a huge energy, very unreasonable, as for Baori Longmei, you raped Yuan, it is even more thunderous.
However, the screenwriter and director are very smart, knowing that one of the biggest shortcomings of Yong opera is that the women's drama is insufficient, the power plot is too grand, so they use their strengths to avoid the shortcomings, adding a lot of love elements that is, the women's play, but the connection is not very good, or there is no combination of perfection, so there are many logical places, such as the Kangxi Emperor was raped and the noble concubine was actually smashed to death by the toilet, although it meets the audience's expectations for the women's play, in this regard, it surpasses the Yong opera, but the logic does not make up and even some nonsense, so it is also criticized by many people. It is equivalent to exchanging ratings for ratings, but also losing long-term reputation, personally think that it is not worth the loss.
It is precisely because the logic of the script does not understand and even the chaos, so although Chen Daoming has superb acting skills, but also because of this innate deficiency, there is no way to portray the character of the Kangxi Emperor to the fullest, let alone sublimate it to a different new height, which is also one of the reasons why Chen Daoming's version of the Kangxi Emperor is not as good as the Jiao Huang version of the Kangxi Emperor.
The script of "Yongzheng Dynasty" can be described as a top-level work, there are many tricks of power, the logic is reasonable as a whole, Jiao Huang's own acting skills are even more unspeakable, and it is natural to play it like a fish.
For example, in the first ten minutes of the imperial court meeting, the character and position of the nine brothers who snatched the concubines of the nine sons were portrayed at a glance, the absurdity of the prince, heralding the future abolition, the wet shoes of the fourth elder, and the fact that the treasury was empty, and also thinking of a solution, showing that he was doing practical things and had the ability to clean up the mess.
The sole of the old eight's dry shoes, coupled with the serious deficit of the household department, also talked about disaster relief, and patted the horse ass and said that the Kangxi Emperor's water control merits were very great, after being said by the old fourth to break the emptiness of the national treasury, he directly picked the son and did not do it, saying that he asked the emperor Ama to cure the crime, giving people a feeling of only saying empty words and not doing practical things, the old ten echoed, questioning the old fourth for the old eight, indicating that he had no heart and no ability to just be the old eight's heels, the old thirteen's blunt words, not only hit the face of the old eight who slapped the horse's ass, but also hit the face of the father Kangxi Emperor. Showing his straightforward side of personality, but also for him to because of his straightforward personality, but also unguarded and suffered from crime, Lao Jiu's sinister smile from time to time also inadvertently showed his poisonous snake side, and Old Fourteen's cold eyes and contempt when Old Thirteen spoke showed his non-dealing with Old Thirteen.
The whole performance of the Kangxi Emperor can be called calm, first let the prince propose a solution, in fact, he wanted the prince to carry the pot, the prince did not want to carry the pot, it was confused, it was simply plastic father-son love, and then the emptiness of the national treasury was exposed, criticizing the prince and the brothers, pushing the responsibility clean, but did not severely punish the old eight, it is enough to show that his connivance and power to the brothers are not small, indicating the conspiracy of the brothers afterwards, and the situation in which the Kangxi Emperor is difficult to make up his mind to fight for his sons.
And this court meeting is even more an outline, explaining that the so-called Kangxi shengshi is just a vain prosperity, showing that the nine sons of the conquest of the concubine and the crisis under the prosperous world are closely integrated, you have me and I have you, so although the Kangxi Emperor is superb in political means, but in the face of the infighting between several sons, it is always difficult to make up his mind to solve, so there are superb political means, but they are afraid of their hands and feet, it is difficult to refresh the officials to eradicate the shortcomings, solve the crisis under the prosperity, and can only barely maintain the situation without chaos. In the end, the problem was handed over to the fourth elder who had the courage to expose the shortcomings and was more capable of cleaning up the mess to solve, and he was a good person, but he left the fourth elder with great trouble.
It can be said that the portrayal of just ten minutes of the opening, this skill alone, is already beyond the reach of most TV dramas, it is difficult to look back, as for "Kangxi Dynasty", although it is not bad, but in the script portrayal is far inferior to "Yongzheng Dynasty".
Third, in terms of the time span of playing, Chen Daoming's disadvantage is too obvious, and the age positioning is not in line
In the "Yongzheng Dynasty" began in the forty-sixth year of Kangxi, that is, the year before the abolition of the prince, it was the eve of the arrival of the ninth son's concubine, so the Kangxi Emperor played by Jiao Huang was obviously positioned, that is, to play the Kangxi Emperor in his later years.
In the forty-sixth year of Kangxi, the Kangxi Emperor was 53 years old, Jiao Huang played the Kangxi Emperor in 1997, when he was 61 years old, although the difference was 8 years old, but the modern living standard was high, the conditions were good, and it was better than the maintenance of the ancients, so this gap was not large, very in line with the age positioning.
In "Kangxi Dynasty", Chen Daoming appeared after zhijiaobai, is a breath of young Kangxi Emperor played to middle age and old age and even to death, honestly playing youth and middle age is still in line with it, but old age and even to the time of death, feel a great sense of violation, this is not only reflected in the appearance of the form, but also reflected in the speech of the qi, as well as the spirit of the spirit, even if the force to fuse, but always have performance traces.
Therefore, in terms of age positioning, Chen Daoming's positioning is obviously not as suitable as Jiao Huang, which is one of the reasons why he will expose the traces of performance, if it meets the age positioning, presumably Chen Daoming's version of the Kangxi Emperor will be more classic.
Of course, it is inevitable that the age positioning does not match the overall portrayal of the character, not that only Chen Daoming has this situation, like Jiao Huang in the "Yongzheng Dynasty" age positioning is in line, coupled with good acting skills, although it is natural, there is no performance trace.
But in the "Qianlong Dynasty", in 2002, the 66-year-old Jiao Huang played the Qianlong Emperor who was at the peak of the Spring and Autumn Festival, although he shaved his beard and deliberately performed young, he always had a sense of violation, plus the script of this TV series was not even as good as "Kangxi Dynasty", there was no depth, and even some of the main and secondary were not divided, many viewers thought it should be called "He Yan Chuan", so this "Qianlong Dynasty" even if it was starred by Jiao Huang, it was far less famous than "Yongzheng Dynasty" and "Kangxi Dynasty".
So it is also very important to meet the age positioning or not, not to say that there is acting skills is equal to playing a role that is very inconsistent with their age, there is no problem, the elderly can not play the vitality of young people, young people are also difficult to perform the calm and twilight of the elderly, the elderly women can not play the spirit of the girl, as for the young girl, don't say play the grandmother, basically it is the unreal feeling of the child's face crane, that is, playing the mature charm of middle-aged women can not even play the mature charm of middle-aged women.
