1905 movie network feature After a long time, it began to come out. The major historical drama "Mountains and Rivers Moonlight", which was officially launched in March 2018, finally revealed its first film today. 

In this 12-minute long film, Zhu Yuanzhang played by Chen Baoguo, Xu Da played by Zhang Fengyi, Zhu Di played by Feng Shaofeng, Zhu Biao played by He Shengming, the crown prince, and Queen Ma played by Wang Ji all appeared, and the cast can be described as strong.

Along with the film, a group of main character setting posters were also exposed, and the topic of Clothing Dao, which cannot be avoided in ancient costume dramas, was once again hotly discussed by netizens.

As one of the few historical dramas in recent years, only from the perspective of the flowers, the photography and service of "Mountains and Rivers Yueming" strive to restore history, which is very profound. 

The reduction of Ming Dynasty costumes is also relatively high, from the emperor’s crown to the concubine’s Zhai clothes, to the official costumes are more elegant, and there are also rare Ming Dynasty princes’ coronation costumes, which is a big improvement in domestic Ming Dynasty dramas.

Recently, with the popularity of many costume dramas such as "Daming Fenghua", "Celebration of More Than Years" and "Crane Jituan Huating", the topic of "Serving the Tao" that left the first impression on the audience has also been frequently searched. Some are ridiculed by the group because they do not match the historical facts and the shape is shocking, and some are praised for their exquisite restoration, and let Xiao Dianjun take everyone back.

"Daming Fenghua"

Is Zhang Shuping’s "aesthetic" controversial again? 

Daming Fenghua, starring Tang Wei and Zhu Yawen, has been on the air for nearly a month. The show’s popularity and reputation are acceptable. Zhu Zhanji’s love for Sun Ruowei is deep, Hu Shanxiang and Sun Ruowei’s sisters fight, and the family drama of the "five sons of the Zhu family" is full of attention. 

But since the appearance was exposed, "Daming Fenghua" has caused a lot of controversy.

 

Tang Wei, the heroine, bears the brunt. Tang Wei, known as the "Muse of Literature and Art", seems to be naturally out of tune with ancient costumes. The styling in "Daming Fenghua" not only lacks aura and a sense of high class, but also exposes the weaknesses of the hairline and face shape. 

The top of the head is sometimes like a black crystal ball, sometimes like an iron bucket, and sometimes like a wine glass, which is really incomprehensible.

 

Zhu Yawen, the male protagonist, was not "spared" either. Zhu Yawen, who was famous for his subwoofers, was a little feminine in the play, missing a bit of the domineering emperor.


In this regard, Zhu Yawen also used his emoji in the comment: "My mother?" and explained that the so-called "factory style" is because the initial setting of the character is under the control of the elders, and it has to show a cynical and more frivolous side.


Indeed, as the plot progressed, Zhu Zhanji also gradually showed his masculine side.

Zhu Yawen asked netizens in the comment section: "My mother?"

 

In addition to the lack of points for the main character’s style, the Ming Dynasty costumes in "Daming Fenghua" were also picked out by sharp-eyed netizens. For example, the official hats of the early Ming Dynasty did not have "hat upright" (a decoration inlaid on the front of the hat), while in "Daming Fenghua", most of the monarchs and ministers were equipped with huge hat upright. 

Zhu Yuanzhang’s image restoration has also been accused of being too playful and relying too much on folk portraits. This "shoehorn face" shape really "scared" many viewers. 

Although "Daming Fenghua" is adapted from the online novel "The Chronicle of the Six Dynasties", it is not necessary to be meticulous in historical details, but the bugs in these details will inevitably affect the overall texture of the series. 

As the drama’s styling and costume design, Zhang Shuping was also pushed to the forefront of the trend again. Yu Zheng even complained publicly on Weibo: "Zhang Shuping’s aesthetic can’t be appreciated." 

 

From "Three Lives, Three Worlds and Ten Miles of Peach Blossom" to "Drunk Linglong", "Fire Like a Song", and then to "The Legend of Ruyi" and "Daming Fenghua", it seems that not many celebrities can pass Zhang Shuping’s test. 

"Celebration of the Year"
Is it reasonable to mix and match ancient and modern?
 

To say that the most popular and topical costume drama recently, "Qingyu Nian" is none other than "Qingyu Nian". Simultaneously on the hot search with various plot stems, there is also the topic of "Qingyu Nian Service Dao", and the reading volume has reached 320 million. 

While netizens were constantly praising the rhythm of the plot and the acting skills of the drama bones, they also expressed that the "confused" shapes of many characters were somewhat incomprehensible. 

Versace, played by Fan Xian, His Second Highness and Guo Qilin, all comes with bangs in the style of "wash, cut and blow".

 

Chen Daoming’s Qing Di never seems to brush his hair, and Wu Gang’s performance of Chen Pingping’s "smoky makeup" is also very enchanting.

The eldest princess played by Li Xiaoran has been complained the most, and was laughed by netizens: "not like a princess like a witch", "offended the stylist". 

In this regard, Li Xiaoran also came forward to respond. On the one hand, because the eldest princess is not married, the hair must be a loose girl’s shape. On the other hand, the heavy hairstyle and headgear are also designed to highlight the character’s crazy and complex inner characteristics, which are tailor-made.

In addition to clothing, the lighting of "Qingyu Nian" is also a bit "dead". The acne marks, wrinkles and flaws on the actors’ faces are also nowhere to hide. However, some netizens appreciate the true texture of this zero filter. 

There are also many fans who secretly poke and feel sorry for screenwriter Wang Tie. From "Dance Music Legend", "Big Song Youth Chronicle" to "Celebration of More Than a Year", his screenwriting works always seem to be hindered by funding and service.

 

However, Wang Tie himself did not forget to speak for the crew in the interview. "Qingyu Nian" is a historical overhead drama that uses modern thinking to illuminate ancient time and space. Therefore, Fu Hua Dao should also follow the expression of the theme and integrate modern elements. 

For example, many of the costumes in the play incorporate modern leather, mesh, polka dots, and other elements, giving them a unique flavor when they are used to it.

How important is the ancient costume drama?

The topic of clothing and transformation in costume dramas has frequently been hot in search, which just shows that with the continuous improvement of aesthetic level, the audience’s requirements for costume dramas are no longer limited to the plot, but also begin to pay attention to whether the stories and characters can show the beauty of traditional culture. 

clearThe palace drama "Story of Yanxi Palace" has been well received for its exquisite costumes, restoring history, and integrating intangible cultural heritage such as embroidery, Kesi, edelweiss, and Diancui. The high-quality "Morandi color" has also been popular on the whole network.

The recent "Crane Crane Pavilion" has also won praise from the audience for its exquisite reproduction of the history and culture of the Song Dynasty in various aspects such as clothing, lines, etiquette, and customs.

Although there are still doubts and controversies, it is undeniable that in recent years, domestic costume dramas have paid more and more attention to the polishing of details such as costumes, models, and props, and the overall production level has been significantly improved.

Although the core elements that determine the reputation of a drama are still the story and acting skills, as the saying goes, people rely on clothes and horses to rely on saddles, and the exquisite and elegant clothing path not only respects history and traditional culture, but also adds a lot to the actors and stories. Is it not the "craftsman spirit" that is essential to a high-quality drama to reflect the excellence of the stitches?
