Preamble:
In recent years, costume dramas have emerged in an endless stream, and there are many high-quality ones.
However, in many works, we will inevitably ask such questions: Are the heroes of these costume dramas really worthy of the title of "beautiful man"?
Are their rich inner worlds and three-dimensional character portrayals perfectly presented on the screen?
Wonderful preview: Xiao Zhan entered the costume circle
Among the many leading actors in costume dramas, there is one who has gradually emerged in recent years, and that is Xiao Zhan.
In 2017, Xiao Zhan played the role of "Wei Xiaobao" in "Chen Qingling", starting his journey in costume dramas.
In the play, his gentle and jade-like son-like appearance, heroic eyebrows and eyes, all made the audience moved.
After that, in dramas such as "His Highness the Wolf" and "Beacon Recklessness", Xiao Zhan attracted countless fans with his excellent costume style.
Now, Xiao Zhan is about to challenge the new role of "Childish Slave" in the new drama "The Legend of the Tibetan Sea".
In the exposed teaser pictures, his temperament as a young scholar came to his face.
The mature and restrained eyes reveal in the childish face, which indicates the rich dramatic conflict in the characters' hearts.
So, at a time when there are many costume dramas, can Xiao Zhan become famous with this drama and become a new superstar in the costume industry?
Can his outstanding external conditions and understanding of the role be perfectly released in "The Legend of the Tibetan Sea"?
Can this highly anticipated masterpiece become a dark horse in the winter of 2022-2023? Let's wait and see!
Netizen: Li Xian's appearance is really ugly
Just when the popularity of "The Legend of the Tibetan Sea" was gradually rising, another highly anticipated costume drama was also quietly coming.
Recently, the pre-promotion of starring Li Xian and Yang Zi's new drama "National Beauty" is in full swing.
The second cooperation between the two is naturally full of expectations.
However, what is surprising is that after the crew released Li Xian's first batch of modeling photos, netizens expressed their unacceptability.
Li Xian's costume image this time is very different from the past, and the details such as dragon beard and hairstyle are more exaggerated.
This is difficult for people to adapt to the situation that his own facial features are not outstanding enough.
"This shape is too ugly, right? Li Xian's facial features can't match the ancient costumes at all, it's too eye-catching!"
Even if the beauty filter is turned on to the maximum, it can't hide his protruding jawline, and it's not as delicate as a costume. ”
Even many fans of Li Xian couldn't help but shed their fans one after another, expressing their disappointment with his costume style.
Li Xian's image has always been handsome and flamboyant, and this mistake in style is inevitably a little embarrassing.
It can be seen that Li Xian wants to establish his status in costume dramas, and I am afraid there is still a long way to go.
We also look forward to his breakthrough in future works and expand his acting skills.
Han Shangyan and Tong Nian are full of CP
Although the actor's style was questioned, the heroine Yang Zi and the second actor Diao Qihua of "National Beauty" performed well.
The four-cornered love affair between them and Li Xian and Tong Nian has a vivid story background, which still gives people a profound movie-watching experience.
In particular, the emotional line between Tong Nian and the new Xiaosheng Han Shangyan can touch people's hearts the most.
There seems to be a fate between the two in their previous lives, and this kind of love across time and space is crazy.
Tong Nian's fresh and refined girl image and Han Shangyan's gentle and elegant scholarly temperament fit perfectly in the play, releasing bright and moving sparks.
"Tong Nian and Han Shangyan are a good match! I hope they can become a couple in the play!"
"That's it, I've already started to eat this CP, let's release it soon!"
No matter how the plot goes, Tong Han CP seems to have won the favor of the audience.
This also locked in a group of loyal viewers for "National Beauty".
We will also wait and see if this pair of Xiaosheng Huadan can bloom a magnificent flower of love in the play.
Zhang Jingyi finished Xiao Zhan's greetings
And just when "The Glory of the Country" was on the air, the filming of another high-profile costume drama "The Legend of the Tibetan Sea" was also in full swing.
It is reported that the heroine Zhang Jingyi has completed all the scenes.
In the hardships of the filming process of costume dramas, it can be said that it is the happiest thing to be the first to finish.
Not long ago, some netizens photographed the interaction between Zhang Jingyi and the actor Xiao Zhan.
The two walked out of the filming location surrounded by the staff, Zhang Jingyi's expression was relaxed, and her face was full of joy.
Xiao Zhan greeted him gently and politely, always with a formulaic smile on his face.
The interaction between the two in the crew seems to be more vivid, but this also reflects Xiao Zhan's professionalism.
He is fully committed to his role and takes a rigorous approach to his work, which is truly admirable.
The combination of these two popular idols is naturally eagerly awaited.
Zhang Jingyi's image of the Queen Mother is charming and moving; And Xiao Zhan will challenge a young scholar who has returned with revenge and is taking action step by step.
Will the two actors be able to shine in this play, and will they be able to show the richness of the characters' hearts through their superb acting interpretations?
This will also be the focus of attention of the audience.
The Tibetan Sea is facing a deep feud in the sea of blood
The synopsis of the story about "The Legend of the Tibetan Sea" is also gradually emerging.
The male protagonist "Childish Slave" is the only son of the Qintian Prison of the Great Yongguo, but he witnessed the tragic destruction of the entire family in one night.
"I still remember that dark night, when I was leaving, my father's eyes were covered with incomprehension, pain and despair. ”
The slave struggled to stand up in a pool of blood, and suddenly looked back, only to see dozens of dead branches swaying in the cold wind.
The deep hatred of the broken family made the young slave lose his innocence.
He assumed the pseudonym "Tibetan Sea" and began a long road of revenge.
In order to clear up grievances and reassure the rest of his father and clan, there are still too many complex political forces entrenched in the depths of the court.
After ten years of forbearance, Zanghai finally decided to return to the capital, and he was ashamed.
"Ten years after that night, I have kept in my mind the look of my father before he died.
I want to make the truth public and seek justice for my family.
This is what I owe them. ”
The twist of fate of the child slave was extremely shocking.
The tragedy and loneliness of a vigorous prince who has lost a loved one, only to look back on the ground with blood on the ground is heartbreaking.
We also look forward to whether Xiao Zhan can accurately interpret this touching life experience in the play, and fully excavate the inner drama of a sunny boy who transforms into an avenger with a deep hatred of blood.
Zanghai studied hard and eventually became a generation of ministers
In order to gain a foothold in the court, Zanghai worked hard to study the construction skills and the art of the vertical and horizontal family, and eventually became a generation of ministers.
With his wisdom and strategy, he rose step by step in the court, and finally found out the truth about the tragedy of the year.
"It turned out to be this person.
I endured it for ten years, and finally I saw on his face the coldness and cruelty of killing my people. ”
The moment he learned the truth, Zanghai's eyes were red, and the hatred in his heart didn't seem to be swept away by the revelation of the truth.
He even felt the urge to retaliate on the spot.
However, years of forbearance have taught him that acting recklessly at this moment will only make his plans come to naught.
For the sake of the family's reputation, he must endure humiliation and find the best time to complete revenge in the overall game.
When he witnessed the ugly battle in the court, Zanghai gradually understood the deeper truth.
For the sake of the country's long-term peace and stability, he finally chose forgiveness and tolerance.
With his help, the Dayong Empire finally ushered in a long period of prosperity.
We are also looking forward to how Xiao Zhan will vividly show this thirst for truth and revenge through the integration of external modeling and internal emotions in the play.
This kind of plot of revenge and growth will also make the audience sweat.
Xiao Zhan's costume style is in the next city
When the story background of "The Legend of the Tibetan Sea" gradually became clear, the modeling photos of the leading actors also spread on the Internet.
Among them, Xiao Zhan's costume style has once again become the focus.
His excellent appearance conditions, coupled with the strategic temperament of the character, match this court dress just right.
"Oh my God, this look is not too foul!"
"I can give 100 points for this look! With Xiao Zhan's princely warm temperament, it's too perfect. ”
Xiao Zhan's delicate face, angular facial features, and the finishing touch of ancient costumes perfectly interpret the image of the prince who has returned from revenge.
The sharpness and restraint in his eyes are also completely in line with the old and serious shaped by the character's growth experience.
In addition, photos of Xiao Zhan wearing court clothes were also exposed.
He stood upright, and his demeanor was confident and showed that he was old-fashioned.
This ability to perfectly integrate external clothing with inner emotions is a strong competitive advantage for Xiao Zhan, who has superb acting skills.
It can be seen that the acting skills have been taken to a new level! It is completely the image of a far-sighted minister. ”
There is no doubt that in this play, Xiao Zhan's costume style has reached another city, which has made a large number of audiences fall in love with it.
He seems to have become one of the few actors who can perfectly play the role of ancient costumes.
The ugly man is in charge, but the truth is that the hood fails?
However, just when we applaud Xiao Zhan's superb acting skills, the costume circle is full of another type of "ugly man".
These actors don't seem to have grasped the essence of costume dramas, their exaggerated and weird shapes and "hard appearances" have broken the audience's attention many times.
"I can't look at it directly! How did this person get into the group?"
"I'd better move to another drama, it's really unsightly for this male protagonist to be ugly like this. ”
Among these "ugly men", there are also powerful actors.
For example, singer and actor William Chan who starred in "Mrs. Huzhu".
Many netizens said that his high hairline and exaggerated wig, combined with his own facial features that are not three-dimensional enough, make it impossible to associate him with the word "beautiful man".
"What a beautiful man, it's clearly the boss of the square head!"
"I can't imagine what it's like to play against Zhao Liying...... It's too much of a test of acting skills. ”
So, why do these actors who are obviously powerful repeatedly overturn in ancient costumes?
Do they rely too much on the later beautification techniques and ignore the shaping of the characters?
In fact, many audiences do not have high requirements for the external conditions of each actor, the key is that these "ugly men" pay attention to the appearance at the same time, but ignore the understanding and portrayal of the inner world of the characters in costume dramas.
This makes their characters often appear flat and thin on the silver screen, and eventually become the laughing stock of the mantis arm as a car.
In contrast, powerful actors such as Xiao Zhan just captured the essence of costume dramas.
They not only pay attention to the improvement of their own conditions, but also take into account the in-depth understanding of the inner world of the characters.
This all-round attention to detail is the key to creating an excellent costume image.
It can be called a perfect interpretation, and "The Legend of the Tibetan Sea" is worth looking forward to
Therefore, when we are looking for surprises in the cookie-cutter "beautiful man" style, the image presented by Xiao Zhan undoubtedly subtly reflects the essence of costume dramas.
His understanding and interpretation of the characters are appropriate, which not only retains the enthusiastic side of young people, but also perfectly demonstrates the importance of old age after many years of forbearance.
This kind of three-dimensional, time-spanning character portrayal makes people look forward to the broadcast of "The Legend of the Tibetan Sea".
Can Xiao Zhan's superb acting skills tell the story of a young man who has gone through grief and sublimation? This is also the point that the audience is most concerned about.
"I'm looking forward to Xiao Zhan and Zhang Jingyi's rivalry!"
"It is foreseeable that this will be a very cultivated and good drama. ”
At the moment when costume dramas are blooming, whether they can break out of the cocoon and become a butterfly and achieve an outstanding and moving masterpiece depends on the intentions of the creators.
Xiao Zhan's understanding of the characters in the play undoubtedly embeds a dazzling light in "The Legend of the Tibetan Sea".
This ability to externalize inner emotions on the screen will also test Xiao Zhan's acting skills and breakthroughs in his realm.
If it can bring a new experience and shock, "The Legend of the Tibetan Sea" will surely become a classic in 2022-2023.
It may also establish Xiao Zhan as the new standard-bearer of contemporary costume dramas.
Of course, we can only continue to wait and see what the quality and reputation of "The Legend of the Tibetan Sea", which has not yet been released.
But at least from the current news, it seems that the story and characters have been carefully crafted.
This must also contain the infinite enthusiasm and dedication of the creators for this industry.
Let's look forward to the arrival of "The Legend of the Tibetan Sea" and see if it can shine brightly!
Epilogue:
The prosperity of costume dramas stems from the audience's endless interest and expectation in this theme.
In these works, we are eager to see the exciting and wonderful performances of the actors, and see the rich display of the inner world of the characters.
These are all related to the cultural pursuit of an era.
The arrival of powerful actors such as Xiao Zhan has undoubtedly injected positive energy into costume dramas.
Their conscientious and strict professionalism will infect and educate more peers.
Their dedication to understanding and interpreting the characters will also raise the overall standard of the field.
