The TV series "The Legend of Zhen Huan" has been broadcast for more than ten years and has endured, of course, because the plot is attractive and the actors perform well, but also because the crew attaches great importance to details, even some props are worth a lot.
For example, Jiang Xin's "Concubine Hua", according to a later interview with Sun Li, she said that when filming this TV series, no one dared to approach Jiang Xin, and everyone thought that Jiang Xin was as proud as Concubine Hua in the drama, so everyone didn't dare to approach.
But as soon as Sun Li changed her words, she told the truth of the matter, it turned out that the "dot cui" on Concubine Hua's head was worth 80 million, which was a very precious antique, everyone was afraid of breaking it, and even Jiang Xin was very careful.
Because there are a lot of concubines in the play, there are also many decorative accessories, and in terms of materials and materials, the crew insists on being elegant, not sloppy at all, and requires that "each gold jewelry is 24k gilded, and real silver must be used for silver plating".
It is one of the common silk flowers, and the crew also has a unique production method, taking a simple peach blossom as an example, the side is made of silk, and the petals are decorated with small beads, paying great attention to reflectivity, texture, and beauty.
Chen Min, the stylist of this drama, is the deputy director of the Makeup Association, and he criticized the jewelry in "New Huanzhu Gege" as a negative teaching material when he was in a meeting, because the flower decorations inside are like old flowers turned out of the warehouse, which makes people can't bear to look at them directly.
Chen Minzheng felt sorry for the audience for such words, it was too rough. It is precisely because of the crew's excellence that they found some genuine products of great value as props.
Speaking of Hua Fei's Diancui, Diancui is a combination of traditional Chinese metal and feather craftsmanship, which plays a role in embellishing and beautifying gold and silver jewelry.
Although the production process is not complicated, the materials used are very particular, first using gold or gilded metal to make different patterns of the base, and then carefully inlaid the bright blue feathers on the kingfisher's back on the seat, so as to make a variety of jewelry.
Emerald refers to the feathers of the kingfisher. The kingfisher's feathers were harvested for barely a long time, and the practice was so cruel that the craft gradually disappeared. So later on, Diancui was very valuable.
It is said that the Diancui worn by the crew Hua Fei is Chen Minzheng's private collection, and it cost millions when he bought it, and it was even more expensive later.
So when Jiang Xin took the filming at that time, the people around her didn't dare to get close to her at all, and she herself didn't dare to move easily, most of the time when filming, she straightened her waist and didn't dare to tilt her head, for fear of damaging the emerald.
When many insiders saw Jiang Xin wearing this phoenix crown, they were amazed. On some important occasions in the play, Concubine Hua can be seen wearing this apex emerald phoenix crown.
Concubine Hua's character in the play is flying and domineering, and she is the sister of the emperor's favorite general, General Nian, who is rich and wealthy, so naturally there are many extravagant decorations. In the play, the Chinese concubine wears a headdress with a little emerald, which looks graceful and extraordinary, which is very in line with the image of the characters in the play.
Director Zheng Xiaolong also gave an interview, he said that in order to pursue delicacy and authenticity, many of the props filmed by the crew were real antiques from the Ming and Qing dynasties, and even some antiques were rented. It can be seen that the crew of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" is really willing to invest, and even the props are so expensive.
However, the success of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" depends not only on costumes, makeup and props, but also on the actors' amazing acting skills, as well as many factors such as a wonderful and compact plot.
There are also many valuable treasures in the plot of the TV series, such as Luo Zidai, and the pair of Shu brocade shoes that the emperor gave to Zhen Huan.
It is mentioned in the play that Luozi Dai is a treasure only in the Western Regions, and the production materials are very scarce, and this baby in the Western Regions only paid tribute to three at a time, and the emperor gave it to the queen and Concubine Hua, and Zhen Huan, as a newcomer, was also rewarded. It can be seen that Zhen Huan's status in the emperor's heart.
There are also Shu cotton shoes that the emperor gave to Zhen Huan, which are also very luxurious, Concubine Hua was very angry and jealous when she heard about it, and felt that the emperor sent such valuable things to Zhen Huan.
And although the treasures mentioned in these dramas are not necessarily genuine, they can be seen very delicate when the camera is close-up, and I have to say that the crew is indeed very attentive.
Therefore, the success of this drama is the combined effect of a variety of factors that has made this classic work, and after many years, it is still reminiscent by the audience, and if you watch the drama over and over again, you will have different experiences.
