Historical-themed TV dramas have also been the highest ratings in the domestic TV drama market in the past.
However, the current historical dramas have made many viewers feel disappointed and indifferent because of the low-quality filming again and again.
Dawn of the East" and "Youth in the War" have both received negative reviews, and CCTV has now launched "Ask the Boundless", is this really feasible?
Experience has taught us that the audience's fears are well-founded.
The storyline is similar to that of a running account, and each storyline switch seems quite stiff and boring.
At the same time, the actor's performance was truly incredible.
The two characters of Song Jia and Song Qingling, although they cannot be said to be exactly the same, can be said to have no connection between the two.
When she appeared in front of the camera with Sun Yat-sen, played by Ma Shaohua, the kind of picture like a father and daughter really made the audience want to quit quickly.
On the other side, Bai Ke challenged Chiang Kai-shek, this kind of behavior is like "Wang Da Hammer" playing cosplay, and its comical degree can even be compared to the Spring Festival Gala sketches, I suspect that the director may be teasing me?
However, nothing is the most shocking, only more shocking is that there are two other key characters who are completely destroyed.
When we mention the female leaders of the revolutionary predecessors, the name "Yang Kaihui" must not be ignored.
She is not only because she is the spouse of ***, but also because she is also the promoter and practitioner of the Chinese women's liberation movement. Therefore, the audience is full of anticipation for this remarkable woman, and they don't know who can perfectly interpret her role
The young actress Jia Ze, who was born in 97, tried the role of Yang Kaihui in the movie "Ask the Firmament", her style is quite good, her short hair is refreshing, and she exudes the charm of an intellectual woman.
The only challenge is the inability to communicate verbally.
When Kazawa began to read her lines aloud, her porcelain teeth completely exposed her mouth, and combined with her dull yellow complexion, it was really a delicacy that was both white and shiny.
Those who are uninformed may mistakenly think that she is from Africa, but will soon be able to take her to endorse the whitening toothpaste.
Although Jiaze's background is in a Chinese opera class, his acting skills seem to have been taught by a physical education teacher.
Whenever she talked to others, she liked to shake her head and pretend to be cute, and her features often flew and grinned, as if she wanted everyone to notice her embarrassing teeth.
Even when filming scenes in the dark, the crew didn't need to worry about the need for supplemental light, because Jiaze's teeth naturally produce brightness.
Although the facial features are not visible, at least a pair of teeth can be observed floating in the sky.
The camera suddenly switched, and Wang Renjun, who played the young ***, was also given a row of porcelain teeth similar to corn kernels.
How can I get the two of you to play the role of husband and wife?
I believe the audience knows the environment and conditions of that era, even if they are female friends, their teeth may not be so white, let alone those male friends who smoke all day.
In addition, Wang Renjun's teeth are neatly arranged, just like military training, every tooth is clearly visible, white and translucent, and it can be seen at a glance that he has mastered "technology" and has no sense of age at all.
Therefore, even if he shows a funny expression in front of his fellow countrymen, he will not be able to get others to play his role.
Really, this is *** director who casually chose a porcelain tooth actor to play, which not only lacks respect for historical figures, but also does not really take into account the feelings of the audience.
When it comes to acting skills, Wang Renjun often seems to get caught up in routines. He doesn't seem to be performing ***, but interpreting Tang Guoqiang's version of *** Although his every action reveals traces of imitation, his performance is not as natural as the drama bones, which makes the audience feel more and more uncomfortable.
It must be admitted that the word-of-mouth of this TV series did not achieve the desired effect, which is closely related to casting. In addition to the improvement of acting skills, it also raises the question of when historical dramas will be able to abandon those overly modern elements, such as porcelain teeth and plastic faces
Nowadays, the pressure on idols is too heavy for actors, and porcelain teeth seem to have become their standard. Although Bai Jing's performance in modern TV dramas is attractive, it also limits their performance in historical dramas and period dramas.
For example, the character Liu Tao in the TV series "Dawn of the East".
Ji Nanyin, who she plays, is wearing a military uniform and has a simple image, which can be seen that she tried very hard to match the background of the character's era, but in the end her mouth was exposed.
Liu Tao has a white bright and neat tooth, which is more eye-catching than her facial features. Moreover, whenever she reads the lines, the way she bites the words seems a little exaggerated, as if a whole row of teeth is about to fall out.
The performance is quite good, don't perform again next time.
In addition, there is also a character in the work "Youth in War", Zhou Ye.
In this play, Zhou also tried the image of a schoolgirl in the ** era, her appearance is unbeatable, pure and moving, but she is also a kind of "plane beauty" and is not easy to move.
Because when she starts to perform with all her might, her facial features will focus on each other, and no one will pay attention to her anymore.
In addition, the conspicuous row of large white teeth is also very eye-catching, and it is rare to use the word "vicious" to describe the performance of actors in historical dramas.
Zhou Ye, please don't miss this kind of TV series!
In the last two years, in addition to porcelain teeth, the actors with plastic surgery faces and silicone faces have become the elements that have done the most harm to historical dramas.
In the movie "Nanniwan", Peng Dan's debut immediately made the audience's eyes.
This European-style large double eyelid seems to have been cut by a Japanese soldier's bayonet, and the ** of the whole face is like a fermented steamed bun, swollen and stiff, and there is almost no sense of survival.
Playing the role of an anti-Japanese female fighter with such an image is undoubtedly the biggest insult to the word "warrior".
In the work "The Flame of the Avenue", there are several supporting actresses who have a clear mismatch with their historical background.
If you look closely at these silicone faces, you will notice that they have many similarities, such as the swelling of the apple muscles, the tightening to the point of resembling a shelled egg, or the bridge of the nose being too straight, the lying silkworm about to fly out, and so on.
In a modern TV series, it may look more pleasing to the eye if the makeup is elaborate. But in historical dramas, actresses may need light makeup or even appear without makeup. The combination of dark skin tones and this kind of high-tech facial features makes it feel like the scene of a big drama.
The audience will really feel uncomfortable with the eyes, and it is better not to let these unexpected actors appear in the historical drama.
In the casting process of "Ask the Boundless", I really kept trying to focus on the audience's attention.
Whether a historical drama is attractive or not depends mainly on the plot, and the actors are its real soul.
It's a pity that in this drama, the performances of key characters such as Song Qingling and ** failed to match perfectly, not to mention the handling of other details.
If the creators just want to attract audience traffic in the name of historical dramas, and invite a group of actors who are popular on the surface but lack of actual strength to participate, then they are likely to lose the audience's recognition and praise.
The quality of modern historical dramas is declining year by year, and there are very few works that can really reach the popularity of "The Awakening Age", so creators should be more vigilant.
When actors are filming historical dramas, they also need to think carefully about whether they should continue filming, rather than casually playing historical roles, the key is to create the right image and attitude.
So, do you think the roles of the male and female protagonists in this play are real?
