Although the hanfu worn is not a completely restored style, it is more unique in design than the costumes of costume dramas. Costumes in costume dramas are usually made of less fabric, and the sleeves are often made narrow to facilitate the actors' movements. Hanfu, on the other hand, uses more fabrics and loose sleeves, which can show a grand momentum and gorgeous shape. In addition, the colors of the costumes in costume dramas are mostly bright white, in order to be more conspicuous on the screen. Hanfu, on the other hand, mostly uses milky white or clear white, creating an elegant atmosphere and highlighting the beauty even more.
Although many people think that makeup artists in film and television dramas should be more professional than models, so they will have more beautiful looks. But in fact, many Hanfu styles are more exquisite than those of film and television dramas. Film and television productions often need to consider time and efficiency, and it takes a lot of time to make up complex on set, and for some supporting characters, the makeup can be a little rougher. Therefore, in order to save time, there is often a big difference between the makeup** and the image in the play. In contrast, Hanfu styling is generally a one-time look, and some Hanfu models will invite stylists who are good at film and television styling to design the look, so it is more refined.
From the perspective of photography, Hanfu shapes are often shot from carefully selected angles, and static images are more likely to highlight beauty. Even if there are some flaws in the styling itself, it can be perfectly concealed. The filming of costume dramas is difficult to shoot exquisite effects in dynamic situations. The Hanfu we see is often refined, while the costume dramas are screenshots, which are naturally very different. In addition, there are inherent differences in the design of Hanfu and film and television dramas, whether it is white clothing or other colors of Hanfu, they can show different charms. The colors of hanfu usually tend to be retro tones, which are able to better compliment the skin tone. The aesthetics of film and television dramas are more modern, integrating ancient forms and modern fabrics, especially Xianxia dramas, which don't look like that retro feeling. Of course, it also depends on the scale of production of film and television dramas, and some well-made film and television dramas will choose restored costumes.
Compared with costume dramas, Hanfu has a more unique shape, a more creative design, loose sleeves, and more fabrics, showing a grand momentum and gorgeous shape. In terms of makeup and styling, Hanfu styling is more exquisite, and one-time styling can ensure the overall effect, while film and television dramas are subject to time and efficiency, and often do not match the makeup. In addition, Hanfu** is shot from a carefully selected angle, which can highlight the beauty through post-processing, while the shooting of costume dramas is difficult to shoot exquisite effects in dynamic situations. Hanfu has a retro color palette that better complements the skin tone, while film and television dramas are more modern, blending ancient forms with modern fabrics. Therefore, the reason why Hanfu styling is more attractive than costume dramas lies in the uniqueness of the design, the delicacy of the makeup, and the difference in shooting angles and post-processing.
From a personal point of view, everyone's understanding and preference for beauty is different, coupled with the continuous change of fashion trends, people who like Hanfu styling and the audience of costume dramas have their own appreciation and pursuit. Whether it is a Hanfu or a costume drama, the most important thing is to be able to show the charm of beauty and attract the audience's attention. For the audience, appreciating and loving Hanfu or costume dramas lies in the traceability and appreciation of history and culture, as well as the experience of the beauty of costumes and art. Therefore, Hanfu and costume dramas have their own unique charms, and it is not a simple judgment to judge which one is better, but only to choose according to personal aesthetics and appreciation.
