Last night, the high-profile era masterpiece "Xuanwumen" premiered on Beijing Satellite TV.
In just one episode, it's intoxicating.
The picture is delicate and picturesque, the performance is three-pointed, and the plot is gripping, as if people are in that magnificent history.
Xuanwumen is based on the legendary story of the jade carving craftsman Li Yunjin's family for several generations, vividly narrating the tragic price they paid to protect the jade pomegranate of the country's prosperity.
and the legendary process of many generations of arduous struggle to finally protect this national treasure-level jadeite.
This historical drama not only shows the perseverance and indomitable spirit of the Chinese, but also presents the unique style and profound cultural heritage of old Beijing such as Xuanwumen and Laojie to the audience through delicate and nuanced brushstrokes.
It is a legend of the times that makes people's blood boil and their hearts are surging, and it is also a cultural feast that makes people taste history and understand life.
The characters in the play are lifelike and complement the plot, in stark contrast to those pretentious historical drama characters.
They are not fashion pioneers with eyebrows and sideburns, but with a simple and natural image, they truly restore the style of that era.
Xuanwumen exudes a strong Beijing flavor, as if through a tunnel through time and space, leading the audience to the old Beijing a hundred years ago.
Whether it is the background layout or the character modeling, it accurately captures the social customs and humanistic atmosphere of the time, making people feel as if they are in that long river of history, and they can't stop.
Some netizens said that this drama still needs to be improved, and that is probably the image of Cixi Lafayette.
The powerful female character appears to be portrayed as a paralyzed figure in the show, and she is never seen standing in the entire first episode.
Her face, in particular, is a little bloated and her muscles are sagging, which can't help but remind people that Cixi Lafayette's food is indeed quite rich.
I checked the information about the Empress Dowager Cixi.
In fact, in comparison, the degree of reduction of Cixi played by Siqin Gaowa is quite high.
Cixi in the original picture also has a rich face and a full face.
And judging from the pictures that have been circulated, Cixi is indeed mostly sitting.
After all, she is a woman with small feet.
Nor can it stand up.
Basically, it's no different from paralysis.
But as soon as the Empress Dowager Cixi spoke, the authentic Beijing flavor came to her face.
Cixi, surnamed Yehnara.
She is a woman from a nomadic people.
It stands to reason that it is not full of Beijing flavor.
Maybe she didn't think too much about it in the film and television dramas, or maybe she was deeply influenced by the culture of the capital in the long river of history.
It's hard to sum up her personality in simple words.
She may be treacherous, she may be brutal, she may be hedonistic, or she may be obsessed with power.
However, in this drama, her image seems to be vague and elusive.
Many people say that this is not angry and self-threatening.
It is true that the people who are on errand in the Cixi Palace do not dare to breathe.
Li Tianshun was almost killed by the cane.
But there is one thing that is still unpredictable.
She didn't have a relationship with the heroine, and just because of Boss Yang's grace, she let the heroine go.
Here again, I feel that she is quite easy to talk.
According to historical records, the Empress Dowager Cixi had an "eccentric" personality, loved to dress up, was decisive and quick-witted, and was ambitious.
At the same time, she is also an extremely ** woman, unscrupulous to exclude dissidents, ruthless.
However, in this drama, the image of the Empress Dowager Cixi seems a little lazy and easy-going, and it is difficult for people to feel her ruthless and ambitious side.
Such an interpretation may be in line with the needs of the plot, but it is far from the historical image of Cixi.
The Empress Dowager Cixi is actually played by the famous actor Siqin Gaowa, and she is also an old actor.
There is quite a shadow of the housewife who dreams of returning to the mansion.
However, I still like the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang played by her.
Full of wisdom and domineering leakage, no one has surpassed it so far.
In this drama, the Empress Dowager Cixi played by Teacher Siqin Gaowa is still a little bit lacking.
Maybe the plot in the back will be ruthless.
