Recently, "Lady Hu Zhu", starring Yang Mi and Chen Weiting, released a CP version trailer.
The drama is adapted from a novel, and itself has a huge base of original fans, which is a kind of boost for the work.
But at the same time, too many fans of the original will also cause pressure on the protagonist, and once the casting does not meet the psychological expectations of fans, it is easy to trigger a reaction.
Fortunately, Yang Mi and Chen Weiting, the two leading actors, are recognized as high-value, and they are also powerful, and the roles played by the two are still very convincing.
In the list of upcoming dramas, "Lady Hu Zhu" has also been ranked at the top, which shows the audience's love for the drama.
Unexpectedly, after the release of the new trailer, there was a not-so-wonderful "vignette".
In the play, the male protagonist Fang Zhu, played by Chen Weiting, has a set of large flat head plus dragon whisker bangs, which has caused many netizens to complain.
Some netizens said that under this set of styles, Chen Weiting gave people the feeling that his face was slightly rounded, and even his head seemed to be shorter.
When speaking lines or other actions, the two strands of dragon whisker bangs sway left and right, which is very dramatic.
Not long ago, topics such as "costume drama ugly man 101 selection" were making a lot of noise on the Internet.
In addition to some lesser-known newcomer actors being nominated, well-known actors such as Zhou Yumin, Jin Han, Zhu Yawen, and Lai Yi have also been "recruited".
Nowadays, the "Ugly Man 101" storm has just passed, and I did not expect that Chen Weiting was also "recruited" because of the new style.
However, some netizens were upset for Chen Weiting and pushed out the "pot" with the shape of "overturning".
This is not unreasonable.
In the new drama "Lady Xuezhu", although Chen Weiting's big flat head plus dragon whisker bangs are not recognized, when he changes to another set of hair styles, the sense of happiness and drama disappear.
In its place, it was the appearance of a dancing prince.
Chen Weiting has always had the reputation of "costume male god", and many of his previous costume styles have been praised.
This time, one of his two appearances in the same play was ridiculed, one was praised, and two completely different voices pointed the "culprit" to the hood, and was ridiculed for destroying everything with one hood.
As the saying goes, "Hair is a woman's second face." ”
As a costume drama, the hood can also be seen as the "second face" of the actor.
Taking the opposite evaluation of Chen Weiting's two sets of styles in the new drama "Lady Hu Zhu" as an example, it shows the importance of the head cover for costume drama actors.
This applies to both male and female actors.
Di Li Reba is one of the top goddesses in the circle, and the role of Feng Jiuyi she plays is amazing, but in "Long Song Line", the shape of the dragon's whisker bangs makes her encounter the appearance of "Waterloo".
There is also the actor Jin Han, who plays the hegemonic president in modern dramas and has countless fans, and the villains who play in costume dramas are also praised as bad and handsome.
However, in the new drama "Jun Jiuling", he was selected for the "Ugly Man in Costume 101" with a dirty braid, and even his acting skills were questioned.
The encounters of Di Lieba and Jin Han are very similar to those of Chen Weiting, all because of the hood problem, resulting in the lack of recognition of the shape.
However, it is too one-sided to push all the problems to the head cover.
Many actors will show different effects even under similar styling.
The web drama "Meet the Dragon", which aired in May this year, made the male protagonist Wang Hedi suffer a double blow of appearance and acting skills.
The Dragon King he played had fluffy white hair and was accused of wearing "straw", which lowered the overall appearance and was strongly complained about by netizens.
But it is also a fluffy, slightly messy "straw hair", in the early years, Huang Haibing's appearance in the "History of Wulin" was full of chivalry, until now, it is known as a model of beautiful men in ancient costumes.
In summary, the importance of the head covering for the shape is self-evident, but at the same time, it also pays attention to the adaptability with the actor itself, which tests the skills of the stylist.
Generally speaking, actors with long faces or high hairlines need to use a head covering with bangs to modify the shape of their faces to avoid exposing their brains.
And those actors with exquisite facial features and rounded faces, in order to highlight the advantages, are photogenic and good-looking, and often choose simple and refreshing, thin styles in hairstyles.
Once the choice is reversed, it is easy to cause the value of the face to "roll over".
In the new drama "Lady Hu Zhu", in addition to Chen Weiting, the shape of the male second Xu Kaicheng and the male third Wang Sen was also complained about.
This is also Xu Kaicheng's second "stroke" after "Guozijian".
As we all know, ancient puppet dramas have high requirements for the appearance of male and female actors.
However, "Lady Hu Zhu" has not yet been broadcast, and the style of the male protagonist and the male partner has caused a lot of complaining, and some netizens said that they have no motivation to chase the drama, which can't help but worry about the prospects of the drama.
However, in a similar situation, the heroine Yang Mi is not the first time to encounter.
Previously, in the TV series "Fu Shao", Ruan Jingtian, who played the male protagonist, was accused of having too low a good appearance and not matching Yang Mi, and at that time, some netizens saw that the male protagonist was commensurate and could not be chased, but the drama became a hit, and the male protagonist Ruan Jingtian "turned red" with the trend.
The same is the "uncle" Zhao Youting.
At the beginning of the broadcast of "Three Lives and Three Worlds and Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms", Zhao Youting's appearance did not convince the public, but the audience was still "really fragrant" in the end.
The word "uncle" has become a love name for Zhao Youting by fans.
Many netizens said that Yang Mi has the physique of "Wang Male Lord", and I don't know if this physique can be extended to Chen Weiting?
What do you think of Chen Weiting's new look?
