"The Legend of Zhen Huan" has been on the air for more than ten years, and it can still have a place on the popularity list, which can be called a classic. Not only that, the peripherals with the theme of "The Legend of Zhen Huan", even if they are a little expensive, can still sell well.
For a drama to become a classic, it is impossible to rely on one or two leading actors alone. In addition to costumes, makeup, props, and set settings, the casting of every supporting character in the show is particularly important.
The Legend of Zhen Huan" is precisely because every little character has its own uniqueness and can leave a deep impression in the hearts of the audience, which makes this drama so brilliant.
There is a small role in "The Legend of Zhen Huan", she has not appeared many times, and she is not a household name, but she also left a deep impression on everyone, she is Qingying.
Qing Ying's appearance was when the queen chose Fujin for the third elder brother of the "Qing Giant". Qingying and Empress Yixiu are both from the Wulanala clan, and as the eldest son of the emperor at that time, the third elder brother is expected to inherit the unification, so Qingying is not only the blessing of Yixiu to the third elder brother, but also the future of the Wulanala clan.
It's a pity that the third elder brother didn't care about Qingying, but fell in love with Huang Ama's new favorite "beauty face" Ying Niangniang. So, the third elder brother asked the emperor to resign, saying that he was obsessed with his studies and had nothing to do with men and women. As a person who has come over, Yi Xiu naturally understands that this is the third elder brother who did not take a fancy to Qingying.
The role of Qing Sakura is memorable because her appearances always give people a "dragging" feeling. When he went on a blind date with the third elder brother, he not only disliked Haoyue in various ways, but also always crooked his neck, squinted at people, and always looked arrogant and rude.
Even to his cousin and aunt, the current queen is not polite at all. When Yi Xiu learned that the third elder brother had no intention of marrying Qingying as a blessing, he asked Jianqiu to guide her and let her commit herself to being a concubine brother first, so as to wait for the coming day.
Who knew that Qing Ying didn't appreciate it, and bluntly said that Yi Xiu was a concubine or a side Fujin at the time, and she actually wanted to be a nameless concubine, so she turned around and left. This can touch the queen's scales, offending people without knowing it.
In order to punish her for being open-mouthed, and in order to disgust her opponent Zhen Huan, Yi Xiu asked the emperor for a decree and gave Qingying to the fourth elder brother as a side blessing.
didn't think about it, but Qingying was blessed by misfortune, the fourth elder brother ascended the throne as the emperor, and he was also upgraded from a side blessing to a concubine. However, this did not change the nature of no one in her eyes.
When Qingying and Fucha asked Zhen Huan to say goodbye, it coincided with the death of Yixiu. Zhen Huan signaled to Qingying that she should go to pay tribute to her cousin. However, Qing Sakura still crooked her neck and said,"The concubines only know Shoukang Palace, but they don't know Jingren Palace. ”
Maybe Qing Ying just remembered that Yi Xiu kicked herself around like a leather ball at that time, or maybe she knew that Zhen Huan and her aunt had not been on good terms for a long time, this seemingly flattering move to please Zhen Huan really couldn't hide her scheming and ambition in the eyes of the last palace fighting champion.
In short, in these few shots, Qing Ying has always crooked her neck, and some people pointed out that this looks like the actor is not in good shape, but Director Zheng Xiaolong is amazing, thinking that such an image can just reflect Qing Ying's arrogance and domineering, which is very consistent with the character setting.
Actually, this is not Qingying's posture problem, but she just fell into her neck when filming this period, and her neck could only be crooked.
It is also the special appearance of "Crooked Neck Sakura" that not only impresses everyone with this character, but also makes her actor Zhang Yan return to the audience's field of vision.
Zhang Yan is a child star, and the role of Xiaohua in the movie "Warm Spring" she starred in in 2003 can be said to have earned enough tears from the audience. Zhang Yan's superb acting skills brought Xiaohua, a hard-working girl, to life.
After 9 years, because of "Crooked Neck Sakura", Zhang Yan was remembered by the audience again, and the transformation from a hard-working girl to "dragging Gege" almost made everyone not recognize her.
Zhang Yan was remembered by the audience for "Warm Spring", and her outstanding performance was also recognized, and she won the Outstanding Actress Award at the Hundred Flowers Award for Popular Films at a young age, as well as the Outstanding Child Actor Award at the Beijing University Student Film Festival.
But the high starting point did not make Zhang Yan popular all the way, after playing Xiaohua, she also starred in several film and television works one after another, such as "We Wish Sunflower", "Golden Wedding", "Jiangmen Fengyun", "Calling Mother", "Spring Bud Blooming", "House War", "Lao Yan's Daughter Doesn't Worry About Marrying" and so on, but it didn't stir up any waves.
Now, Zhang Yan, who is only in her twenties, has faded the youth and immaturity of "Little Flower", and has no advantage in appearance. Even the child stars who were smash hits back then are now facing a crisis of having no drama to film.
The role of "Crooked Neck Sakura" brought Zhang Yan back to the screen, and also made some people remember this child star, hoping that she could seize the opportunity to become popular again.
