Costume dramas were once considered a world of "winning by appearance"——
Yan Yikuan, Zhong Hanliang, Huo Jianhua and Qiao Zhenyu, known as the "Four Beauties of Tianya", still remember people with their handsome ancient costumes;
From the "Legend of the Paladin Sword" series to the "Langya List", Hu Ge's costume style is also a must;
There are also "Step by Step" including Wu Qilong, Zheng Jiaying, Lin Xinxin, Yuan Hong, Han Dong, and Ye Zuxin, and each "grandfather" has his own characteristics;
Pushing forward further, the "unremarkable" Gu Tianle is also the audience's amazing and stunning "white moonlight".
But in recent years, more and more viewers have found that the casting of costume dramas seems to be less and less about "appearance".
For example, in the newly launched costume idol drama "Jun Jiuling", the first reaction of many netizens is to question the male protagonist Jin Han's appearance "not passed".
Where did that come from? According to the plot setting, Zhu Zhan, played by Jin Han, is the son of the Duke of Chengguo, he is uninhibited, funny and humorous, and the original novel describes his appearance as outstanding, "the eyes are like stars, the face is like a knife, the eyebrows are wrenched, the corners of the mouth are smiling, it looks close or not, it is unpredictable." ”
But looking at this set of GIFs, Zhu Zhan in the play is obviously not related to "outstanding appearance".
Take a screenshot with your hand, and the scene of collapse is more...
No wonder the audience has expressed that they can't accept it, not to mention watching the male and female protagonists talk about love, that is, ordinary lines can't help but laugh - such a look also praises themselves as "charming" and "can play and handsome", is it serious?
However, Jin Han is not the only one who has been criticized for his appearance. In the recent costume idol drama, the male protagonist who lowers the lower limit of his appearance can line up.
"When the Time Comes" focuses on sweet pet suspense, and Huang Tianqi, who debuted as a child star, also had impressive works such as "Ancient Sword Qitan" in his early years.
In the play, Zhao Zerui, who he played, was praised by passers-by as soon as he appeared on the scene, and the heroine was even more foolish as soon as she saw him, but when the camera advanced, the audience saw the picture like this -
Is this really a rare beautiful man?
As for his "thick and cute" performance in the newlywed scene, it is even more difficult to say...
"Spring Pillow Galaxy" invited Luo Zheng, who was born in the draft, and the introduction said that tao Junran, who he played, was "handsome and handsome, able to write and be good at martial arts", but every time he approached the heroine, it seemed as if he was going to open his mouth and swallow the other party.
Liu Runnan, the male protagonist of "Datang Snack Goods", even refined stills make people want to cry.
There is also the "Daoming Temple" Wang Hedi's first costume drama "Encounter with the Dragon", perhaps the quality of the white wig is not good, this style is really dissuaded.
If "face value degradation" only exists in the unknown small-cost costume drama, sometimes, large productions will also "overturn".
Is this a jade-like duan reputation?
Is this the arrogant Xiao Feng?
There is also the "Long Shou" broadcast last year, which brought a little confusion in Xiao Tong's costume style evil charm, and the strangeness in the confusion... The persona of "the first beautiful man", we can not agree.
What exactly went wrong with costume idol dramas?
Sixteen words to summarize: random casting, rough shape, exaggerated plot, acting skills pull crotch.
But as long as the plot and performance can go up a step, the actor will not be so ridiculed - before the broadcast of "Three Lives and Three Worlds and Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms", Zhao Youting's "Night Hua" was also questioned that his appearance was not handsome enough, but with the promotion of the plot, his superb performance finally made the audience recognize this "first beautiful man in the world".
Unfortunately, the current flood of these costume idol dramas is the same assembly line industrial saccharin, shoddy, and even the praise of the male protagonist is "copy and paste" "There are such beautiful people in the world".
In addition, the basic lighting of the crew is not in place, under the unified skin polishing filter, the male protagonists "show the original shape" one by one, refreshing the "lower limit of appearance".
Of course, we must also admit that the costume is the easiest to expose the shortcomings of appearance, it not only tests the facial features, figure, but also pays attention to the temperament and manners of the actor. Many actors who have no acting skills have inadvertently played "evil charm and crazy fox" into "squeezing eyebrows and making eyes", and "mercurial" has become "greasy and obscene".
Taking a step back, what makes the audience dissatisfied is not only the actor's "appearance", behind the protest of "ugly refusal", what reverberates is a warning to the industry of deformed growth - even the "face" is not wanted, do you still want to keep the audience? Impossible.
