During this year's Spring Festival, the TV series "South to North" sparked heated discussions among the audience. This drama seems to let us take a time machine and travel to the era of railway development and fireworks in the world.
However, in this historical picture, the appearance of some characters is out of step with the times, causing aesthetic controversy among the audience.
In the TV series "South to North", the audience is not only immersed in the heavy sense of history, as if taking an "aesthetic train" across time and space. Ma Yan played by Jin Chen, although she played a character who has experienced the ups and downs of life, her one-line eyebrows and pointed face are like a modern beauty salon for a time traveler to take a short break.
The audience can't help but nod their heads, as if they have seen a "time traveler" who insists on staying at the forefront of fashion in the 21st century.
In the play, Jin Chen's role is in strong contrast to her slender body, like a well-cared for daughter, rather than a tough woman in real life.
Whenever she has a rich expression, her face seems to become a little stiff, as if she is having a facial yoga competition. This can't help but make people think, is the character too dramatic, or is her facial performance too exaggerated?
Director Zheng Xiaolong seems to have made some small mistakes in casting, and the image of the heroine is far from the character setting. It's like playing a game of "finding faults", and no matter how good the actors' acting skills are, they can't hide this visual difference.
It may be that when casting, the director is confused by appearance, taking appearance as the only consideration, and ignoring the internal compatibility between the character and the actor.
This kind of visual impact makes the audience not only experience the dramatic tension in the process of watching, but also can't help but want to express their appreciation for the director's casting: "Please wear good glasses"!
The difference between Hu Ke and Ding Yongdai is even more unbearable, the 48-year-old Hu Ke is maintained like a "young woman", in stark contrast to the 65-year-old Ding Yongdai, as if he has traveled through time and space.
The audience was amazed, Hu Ke's ** is younger than Ding Yongdai, as if he has a "skin care artifact" from the future, making the skin time machine possible? However, in this world of "interlaced time and space", the old actors have taught the audience a vivid history lesson.
Their makeup and image are completely in line with the social aesthetics of the time, as if they are incarnated as messengers of history, making people deeply feel the traces and depth of time.
Of course, we can't ignore the important role of the wonderful performances of the supporting characters in this drama. Shen Xiuping, played by Zuo Xiaoqing, showed an excellent performance with amazing acting skills and state, even without the decoration of beauty filters, she is still radiant, as if she has returned to the years of youth.
And Yao Yuling played by Jiang Yan is even more eye-catching and impressive.
Her plain face has no imprint of time, as if time has favored her. can't help but sigh that this is the real "beauty of the years". In the aesthetic pursuit of traveling through time and space, "South to North" has both a sense of history and modern popular elements.
Let the audience spend a unique audio-visual feast in laughter and amazement.
In the current film and television industry, plastic surgery has become a trend, as if it is a national facial transformation. There's no way to tell if you're watching a TV series or participating in a real-life version of The Sims.
The launch of Yang Mi's new drama made the audience confused, and at a glance, each actor's face seemed to be from the assembly line of the same plastic surgery hospital. Do characters have to polish their faces into a standard template before signing a contract?
It seems more like filming the reality show "Plastic Surgery Challenge" than a TV series!
In this drama, plastic surgery is like a grand plastic surgery carnival, and each character has traces of plastic surgery, which almost makes the audience want to give sleeping pills to the screenwriter and makeup artist, so that they can rest well and stop ruining our visual enjoyment.
What's even more absurd is that some characters are obviously playing the roles of officers, war correspondents, etc., but their faces are full of plastic surgery, which is incompatible with the role setting, which is really dramatic.
In this era of beauty, the audience can't help but wonder: what will happen if these characters go to the battlefield and the prosthesis falls off? Maybe the directors should consider adding some ups and downs to the plot.
For example, in a critical moment, the character after plastic surgery becomes unrecognizable due to the fall of the prosthesis, making it difficult to distinguish friend from foe, and finally solving the battle in a funny way. This may become a new theatrical element called "Plastic Wars: Prosthetic Crisis".
In today's film and television industry, plastic surgery has become a phenomenon that cannot be ignored, and its popularity even exceeds that of ghosts in ghost movies. Even costume dramas are not immune.
From "Shangshi" to "Yanxi Raiders", from "The Legend of Chu Qiao" to "Menghualu", plastic surgery is no longer an individual case, but has become a puzzling and common phenomenon.
Let's take a look at "Menghualu" first, Xu Haiqiao and Sun Zujun's performances are unbearable! Their faces look like they were produced in a plastic surgery factory, and they can surprise the audience as soon as they appear.
Although they denied plastic surgery, the audience's eyes were bright.
In many historical dramas, the faces of the actors have often become a hot topic of discussion among the audience. is like Liu Min and Zhang Zhixi in "Shangshi", from the retouched pictures to the faces in the main play, the changes are amazing, and even make people wonder if there is a mistake in the plot.
Similarly, "Yanxi Raiders" and "The Legend of Chu Qiao" are also full of plastic surgery faces, whether it is the starring role or the supporting role, it is difficult to escape the sharp eyes of the audience. This phenomenon has sparked a heated discussion among the audience on the topic of plastic surgery, and plastic surgery seems to have become a common phenomenon in historical dramas.
It is human nature to love beauty, but we must not pursue plastic surgery excessively, otherwise we may go to the road of "reshaping the face". In the process of pursuing perfection, it is more important to remain rational, not to lose oneself, and to pursue the kind of perfection that is "unrecognizable".
Zhang Yimou resolutely opposes plastic surgery in the program "Where to Start", his position is admirable, and it also reminds people of the natural and beautiful "Mou girls" he cultivated.
Their beauty has not only won the recognition of the public, but also proves that Zhang Yimou's casting vision is unique.
Gong Li, the former Mou girl, is now over half a hundred years old, but her former demeanor is still like a bright pearl, shining in the hearts of the audience. Her collaboration with director Zhang Yimou began with the first work "Red Sorghum", which is an artistic milestone.
The film not only won wide acclaim, but also won the first Golden Bear Award in Chinese film history on the international film stage, pushing the reputations of Gong Li and Zhang Yimou to the peak.
Gong Li's temperament and acting skills are unique in the film industry, and her unique Chinese taste and temperament of both rigidity and softness are unforgettable. Zhang Ziyi is the white moonlight in everyone's hearts, her natural beauty is impressive, and her standard appearance allows her to control various roles with ease.
There is no doubt about Zhou Dongyu's business ability, from "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree" to the baptism of classic works such as "My Father and Mother", "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and "Memoirs of a Geisha", her strength has been fully demonstrated.
Although she may not fit the public's definition of beauty, her facial features are harmonious and natural, and the sense of youth and agility she exudes complements the role, which makes her successfully among the ranks of Mou girls.
Ni Ni and Liu Hao have their own characteristics, either ** or pure, but their common characteristics are natural atmosphere and high photogenic rate. Zhang Yimou's attitude against plastic surgery and the requirements for appearance have triggered our deep thinking about beauty.
He firmly believes that each person's unique appearance is given by their parents, and we should not change it at will.
He has a unique eye and has his own unique views on the appearance of actors. He believes that everyday beauties may not be good enough under the magnification of the movie screen.
Therefore, he insisted on not having actors who had plastic surgery on their faces. Because plastic surgery faces often fail to stand the test in front of the camera, and natural beauty is the most impressive. Thanks to this discerning "national teacher", he has cultivated a group of girls who are both powerful and beautiful!
Despite the popularity of plastic surgery and the fact that celebrities are aware of the impact it can have on their careers, on the screen, actors have to endure the test of their looks in addition to the challenges of their roles.
Recently, the plastic surgery face problem in dramas such as "Plum Blossom and Red Heart" has aroused heated discussions and aroused people's attention"face"Reflections on the story behind it. Zhao Yihuan, the actor who was once named the goddess of the campus, is now 35 years old, and the wind and rain of the years seem to have made her face gradually lose its former brilliance.
Under the high-definition lens, she has no traces of plastic surgery, which has caused embarrassment and criticism. This revelation makes us realize that the pursuit of perfection may reveal vulnerability and helplessness in the baptism of time.
Not only Zhao Yihuan, but also actresses such as Huang Yi, Zhang Meng, and He Lin have also been criticized for their plastic surgery in TV series. Viewers can't help but wonder, can these plastic surgery faces withstand the test of the camera?
Even the camera may be disgusted.
At this moment, some female stars have won the love of the audience with their strength. Such as Wu Yue, Sun Li, Yin Tao and Song Jia, etc., they may not have stunning appearances, but they have unrivaled acting skills.
They understand that as actors who rely on "faces" to eat, delicate expression of facial expressions is the king. In the end, it undoubtedly tells us that when we strive for physical perfection, we should not forget to improve our inner qualities.
Because in front of the screen, it's the talent that matters, not the face. Let's look forward to the emergence of more young actors who not only have beauty but also outstanding performance in the future!
