After a long time, "South to North" is finally here! As we all know, in the past two years, the period dramas broadcast by CCTV have basically not missed, especially at this stage of the new year, when the explosion is most concentrated, it is necessary to give the audience a "ruthless dish". 
The old drama bone Ding Yongdai and the young student Bai Jingting formed a master-apprentice combination, experiencing all kinds of life on the train, is this plot and cast powerful enough? 
There are also many acting bigwigs such as House Bin, Liu Jun, Ni Dahong, etc., and this group portrait of the era can be regarded as a photo of the audience's heart. The lively story, the heart-warming characters and the memorable costume are all reflected in the director Zheng Xiaolong's intentions in shooting. However, this drama has another fatal problem - plastic surgery. Look carefully at the actresses in the play, they are really better than the other. The first place, Jin Chen. In fact, Jin Chen is considered to be a good actor among the younger generation of Xiaohua, but it is difficult for her face to be favored on the big screen. The reason is simple, it's too fake. It looks awkward in modern dramas, let alone period dramas. 
In the new play, she plays Ma Yan with a braided twist that was popular with girls in the past, wearing dark blue**, and the shape is in line with the background, but this face is like a snake spirit, no matter how you look at it, there is no age flavor. Jin Chen's nose is sharp and narrow, as if it is pinched out of plasticine, delicate but unnatural, at first glance, it is like some technology to live on it. 
And I don't know if it's not repaired, her mouth is getting more and more crooked, her chin and nose bridge are transparent, and she is dressed plainly, which still makes it impossible for people to enter the role. 
What's more, Ma Yan's family conditions are poor, her father has been in prison for many years, her mother has worked hard to live, and she herself has shouldered the burden of life early. But you look at Jin Chen's small physique, skinny and skinny, and it is not a feeling of tiredness and thinness, but more like a pampered thinness, which does not match the character from beginning to end. 
With such a "plastic surgery face", Jin Chen has no room to play no matter how good his acting skills are. And every time the expression is a little exaggerated, the face begins to deform and stiffen, and the prosthesis in the nose seems to fly to the screen, so that the image of a tough and kind woman of the era is ruined in her hands. 
It can only be said that Zheng Xiaolong did not bet on the heroine this time. second place, Jiang Yan. However, the "plastic face" actress is not just Jin Chen. Jiang Yan, the female No. 3 in this drama, is also unbearable to look at. 
In my impression, although her appearance is not atmospheric enough, she is born with a female face, but at least her facial features are standard and her temperament is also good. But in this new drama, she is almost unrecognizable. This awl face can literally go to plow. 
And the chin is pointed, the eyes are big, and the lying silkworms are about to hang to the ground, as if they are aliens, and the proportions of the entire facial features are seriously out of balance. When the camera is a little farther away, she seems to be a goblin who has been sucked dry, and her scalp is numb when she sees it.
But the closer the camera is, the silicone sensation on her face is even more pronounced. The whole ** is swollen, just like eating yeast steamed buns. Even though it is a little tighter, this feeling of being so tight that it is about to explode still has nothing to do with the word "good-looking".
What's even more outrageous is that there are still a lot of scenes of her in this drama, fainting because of low blood sugar, and as a result, the picture gives her several big close-ups of her face, and the audience's head is unconsciously tilted back. I also have to ask, does the director have a grudge against Bai Jingting?
The heroine and the third female both like him, but both of them have plastic surgery faces. When I appeared in the same frame, I couldn't tell who was hotter for a while, and I couldn't imagine how unappetizing the follow-up relationship line would be. third place, Zuo Xiaoqing. Unexpectedly, the former goddess Zuo Xiaoqing has now become a "swollen face". Shen Xiuping, who she plays in this drama, is also a woman who is proficient in medical skills. I really want to know if she studied plastic surgery, and whether she cut herself with this European-style double eyelid?
Zuo Xiaoqing's face is undoubtedly the most swollen in the whole play, and the apple muscles are about to come out. The shape of the chin is also quite strange, and the side face looks like it has been punched crooked, and it looks like it was two people when it was younger.
The audience knows that this kind of period drama basically does not let the actors wear too thick makeup, it is nothing more than a simple foundation. Without the blessing of makeup, this kind of appearance is no different from that of Internet celebrities, and I don't know which Internet celebrity thought it was on the wrong set, and even the perception of this drama was greatly reduced.
Fourth, Hu Ke. 48-year-old Hu Ke plays his wife to 65-year-old Ding Yongdai, director, are you okay? The two are 17 years apart, and there is no problem in playing father and daughter, forcibly getting together, the painting style is too strange.
And Hu Ke is well maintained, he spent a lot of money on his face at a glance, there are no wrinkles at this age, and some people believe that she is Jin Chen's eldest sister.
What's more, Hu Ke's appearance is too modern, completely different from Ding Yongdai's era face, as if he is not in the same dimension, which really makes people unable to enter the plot.
I believe carefully that Ma Kui's wife has been working alone for many years, and her face should be full of vicissitudes and haggardness, and she shouldn't be so good, she looks like a "little three" he maintains. I have to say that after watching the drama "South to North", I finally understood why Zhang Yimou didn't use plastic surgery. In an interview, he once said: "There are more than a thousand muscles on our faces, that is, any of you, a little bit of your movement will affect it", not to mention that the big screen will magnify these problems many times, and it is impossible to hide them at all.
Now, it seems, it is. is a period drama, but it was ruined by plastic surgery. Epilogue "South to North" because of the casting problem, the audience did not feel the expected effect of chasing the drama. This is undoubtedly a wake-up call for many creators. Don't compromise easily like a plastic surgery face at any time, it is likely that the reputation of the whole show will be affected because of one character. Celebrities don't have a fluke mentality, don't feel that they move casually, as long as they look good. The actor's responsibility lies in shaping the character, and when this face becomes unnatural, no matter how good-looking it is, it lacks soul. Even if it is a little flower like Jin Chen, no matter how good her acting skills are, she will not be able to continue to gain the recognition of the audience. At present, the show is still being updated, I only hope that these actresses in the follow-up plots can be pleasing to the audience. So do you think their looks are out of the picture?
