Directed by Gao Han and Bai Yunmo, and starring Bai Lu, Jin Chen, Wang Yizhe, Spicy Yoko, Zhou Lula, Zheng Xianghong, Herrey, Wang Xi, Yang Rong, Qiao Xin, Chen Turing, Xuan Lu and other cosplay dramas, "Yulou Chun" has been broadcast online on July 26.
There was no publicity for the show to be suddenly launched, and it has now aired eight episodes (members).
The audience may have different opinions on other aspects of the evaluation of this play, but for the art of this play, Fu Hua Dao is quite good, belonging to an art, Fu Hua Dao is very online, vigorously restore and promote traditional Chinese culture of the work, which is worthy of praise.
However, the value of the costume drama "Yulou Chun" is not here, it is the first Chinese costume drama work to directly counter the "Korean Wave" since the "Hanfu and Hanfu dispute" set off on the Internet since 2020.
Unfortunately, because of Yu Zheng's relationship, "Yulou Spring" came a little too late.
But the broadcast of "Yulou Spring" has already won, and at the same time, the art costume of such a restoration is also won. It not only shows the beauty of traditional Chinese costume culture, but also effectively counters the absurdity of the "Korean Wave", which is enough.
This is also the reason why "Yulou Spring" should be on fire, and the audience supports this costume drama.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="14" > "Hanfu and Hanbok dispute", which was very absurd</h1>
Many people may wonder, in 2020, after the "Hanfu and Hanfu disputes" between China and South Korea, there are also many costume dramas broadcast in China, how can "Yulou Chun" become a domestic costume drama that counters the "Korean Wave"?
The reason is that other costume dramas have no conflict with the "Korean Wave" because of the background dynasty, and the background of "Yulou Chun" is the Ming Dynasty era in China, and the ancient Korean costume culture in Korea is deeply influenced by the Ming Dynasty.
However, due to the development of the modern Korean economy, popular culture has also developed rapidly since 2000. Korean pop culture is very developed in movies, variety shows, music, TV dramas, especially boy bands and girl groups, which can be said to have become the third peak of Asian pop culture after Japan, China, Hong Kong and Taiwan.
However, Korea's history and culture are relatively poor, and it has always been a vassal state of China in ancient times.
South Korea's historical and cultural heritage is not enough, and after the pop culture industry reaches its peak, its cultural heritage can no longer be supported. Japanese culture is too obvious at the same time, the friction between the two countries is great, but Chinese culture is much closer, and in previous years, domestic audiences have insufficient understanding and protection of their own culture.
As a result, South Korea began to subtly plagiarize Chinese culture, and the Ming Dynasty, which gave Korean clothing culture, was the hardest hit area. From plagiarism of ancient Chinese costume culture to imitation and plagiarism of Chinese costume dramas are very frequent.
If you want to find specific examples, it can be said that there are really too many in recent years.
In particular, the online controversy of "Korean cultural plagiarism" caused by 2020 has a large number of domestic media workers who have a large number of specific provenance evidence based on South Korean official information, media news, film and television drama cultural works, etc. He has made videos and articles about Korean plagiarism of Chinese culture.
I believe that most netizens have more or less seen it. In the past, Chinese audiences were really ignorant of such things, and after several conflicts in the first two years, the "Korean plagiarism of Chinese culture" network incident finally broke out on the Internet in 2020.
The process was roughly like this, a "cultural event" that had been fermenting on the Chinese network for months.
The first wave was in November 2020, when the "ancient style mix-and-match" uploaded by comic blogger old caused South Korean netizens to scold Chinese costume plagiarism, and then to "Yulou Chun" Yu Zheng counterattacked South Korea is plagiarism.
The second wave was in January 2021, when the well-known Chinese blogger Li Ziqi was besieged by South Korean netizens for kimchi, which once again triggered a scuffle between Chinese netizens for the "Korean Wave".
The third wave is the fight back against the "Korean Wave plagiarism" of Chinese culture that continues to this day.
Although there are no specific incidents, the current Chinese network about the Korean Wave "plagiarizing" Chinese culture into its own culture, and netizens and there began to make more and more noise.
At that time, in this cultural event, It was one of the few public figures who personally went down to publicly express their positions, and at the beginning, Xu Kai's stills of "Shang Food" were scolded by Korean netizens, and Yu Zheng personally stated that this was the "Hanfu" of the Ming Dynasty in China, which caused dissatisfaction among Korean netizens.
Yu Zheng did not put an end to this, but vigorously promoted his ming Dynasty background costume drama "Shang Food", including this "Yulou Chun".
At that time, because of the controversy caused by this matter, netizens had high expectations for "Yulou Spring", but later everyone knew that "YulouChun" was only broadcast now for some reason. In terms of production level such as art and kimono, it finally lived up to the expectations of netizens.
Now that "Yulou Chun" has been broadcast, the praise caused by this costume drama in China has also spread abroad, and sure enough, the news of "Koreans" criticizing "Yulou Chun" has been transmitted on the external network.
Therefore, this costume drama that hits the face of "Koreans" is too worthy of support.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="75" > art, and the costume is restored and beautiful, which is the real costume drama</h1>
Yu Zheng's costume dramas are actually very up to date with the times, but the aesthetics of the audience are also changing with the changes of the times, and we now look back and feel that some works are very embarrassing, such as the previous "Palace Lock" series of Ah Bao se, skin cutting and so on costume dramas.
Let's think about it carefully, at that time, the mainstream costume dramas on the market were all kinds of fine art aesthetics of skin grinding and cutting, until 2015, "Langya List" changed the aesthetics of domestic costume dramas.
Yu Zheng quickly adjusted and filmed "Yanxi Raiders", which was later recognized as a high-level aesthetic "Morandi" style.
The art, filters, and costumes of this "Yulou Spring" can be said to be in the same line as "Yanxi Raiders". The fine art and filters use the "Morandi" color system, while the costume road uses a treatment that restores Chinese history and culture, and finally presents a pleasing look.
First of all, the art and filter aspects are soft and elegant
The art style of the costume drama after Yu Zheng's "Yanxi Raiders" is "Morandi" color system, so what is Morandi color system?
The official explanation is more complicated, in fact, it is a cool shade of gray, regardless of the scene, the character costume has dark red, dark purple and other colors, but the whole has a little gray feeling.
This kind of art with a little grayscale but not dull, the biggest benefit is to create a cool sense of luxury, with art and lens changes, the audience feels that although it is somewhat cold during the viewing process, it is also very soothing and warm, and finally there is a sense of tranquility and far-reaching high-class.
"Yulou Chun" and "Yanxi Raiders" style is in the same vein, color grading, filters and art can be said to be quite similar, the whole picture of the filter, art with the costume is really pretty. It's the level of refinement of the trailer from a long time ago, and every frame looks pretty good.
If you look at it alone, there are still some people who think it looks good, and some people think it is not good.
For example, when the male protagonist introduces his family in the first episode, the scene in which the four sisters are introduced, the four sisters appear to run and play in the yard, and the four actors wear a red and green dress and run in the antique courtyard.
This art paired with antique scenes, as well as the cooperation of the surrounding group performances, let the audience feel the atmosphere of the ming dynasty big family life scene. The biggest role of art, filters, costumes and lenses is actually to give the audience a sense of atmosphere.
"Yulou Spring" does this quite well, and many scenes have that antique atmosphere.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="101" > secondly, it is naturally the reduction and intention of the Tao</h1>
Although Yu Zheng has a lot of controversy, his costume drama costume Dao is much more restored, studied and carefully restored than the costume dramas of other film and television companies. There may be a long way to go in the eyes of the real historians, but it is really good for the audience.
I personally am not a historical study party, the placement of props in various scenes in "Yulou Spring", when watching this drama, I immediately think of "Yanxi Raiders", "Sideburns Are Not Begonia Red", which are the kind of study and restoration of various scenes and various environments in Chinese history.
China's thousands of years of historical and cultural inheritance, this cultural aesthetic is actually very high-level, but also the most suitable for Chinese audience aesthetics.
In the past, Chinese audiences had no requirements for film and television dramas to restore traditional culture, and in recent years, they have become more and more strictly required to restore history. I believe that any Chinese audience who sees the costumes and scenes restored by "Yulou Spring" will sincerely sigh and appreciate the beauty of traditional Chinese culture.
For example, this antique scene and props, there is no Japanese Japanese wind and no overly obvious modern elements.
For example, the interspersed shadow elements when the male protagonist introduced the Sun family at the beginning, the shadow puppet, as one of the representatives of traditional Chinese culture, is really kind and very suitable, very cultural characteristics, and the key is that it is really good-looking.
For example, the actor's costumes, makeup, etiquette and other aspects of the treatment, these specific content ordinary audience may be difficult to say why. However, as long as you see something from traditional Chinese culture, the audience's biggest feeling will still feel good and pleasing to the eye.
Look at the costume of the heroine Lin Shaochun, played by Bai Lu, lining her temperament is dignified and elegant, with her own noble everyone's boudoir show, every scene, every frame is like a real "lady picture", the Chinese Ming Dynasty costume culture charm is displayed to the fullest, it can be described as beautiful and beautiful.
The positioning of this drama is a costume house fighting comedy, which also has a large number of comedic elements.
The biggest highlight of the first episode is probably the scene in which the sister-in-law and the lady Tubimi played by Yoko Spicy blend the elaborate restoration of Fu hua Dao with the comedic elements. Let the audience feel the restoration of the costume at the same time, but also let the audience be able to easily laugh.
There are many such plots as "Yulou Spring", and I will not list them all here.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="142" > epilogue</h1>
In fact, the Internet controversy over South Korea's plagiarism of Chinese culture has passed, and according to domestic parlance, it is a hot spot.
But this matter has a far-reaching impact after all, and now the entire Chinese public opinion has a very bad impression of the "Korean Wave", especially the works imitating Chinese costume dramas. Now that "Hallyu" still dares to re-enter the Chinese market, try your group idols, as well as film and television dramas that appear to "plagiarize" Chinese culture.
Chinese netizens and viewers did not enter the Chinese market because of the "Korean Wave", and they were only suppressed on the Internet. Once you actually enter the Chinese cultural market, this result is definitely much more serious than Monster Hunter.
This is not only the awakening of the Chinese audience, the awakening of criticism of "Korean cultural plagiarism" is of course the right, but the most important thing is that Chinese popular culture itself rises, and become a cultural soft power export, reversing the world's understanding of ancient Chinese costume culture.
Otherwise, the current output of the "Korean Wave" in the world is still above China, and Chinese culture is only defensive and passive.
Yu Zheng's "Yulou Chun" and the future broadcast of "Shang Food" may not be perfect in other aspects, but they have indeed set an example in terms of art and costume and moral refinement, and with the broadcast of "Yulou Chun" causing controversy among Koreans, it proves that "Yulou Chun" is doing the right thing.
Finally, I hope that there are more and more domestic costume dramas like "Yulou Spring" and more and more domestic costume dramas that are exquisitely restored.
I also hope that domestic costume dramas and domestic film and television dramas are getting better and better.
