The recently aired "Jin Yong's Martial Arts World" surprised the audience, with big changes in the plot and character images that did not conform to the original work, among which the role of "Huang Rong" was even more controversial.
Botched "menswear" show
In the new version of "Jin Yong's Martial Arts World", Huang Rong's actor not only failed to restore the agility and talent of the character, but her appearance of a woman dressed as a man also looked extremely clumsy.
With light eye makeup, delicate eyelashes, and distinctly feminine features, it is easy to see at a glance that her true gender is true.
Such "men's clothing" is actually an insult to the audience's IQ.
The correct way to open a woman's disguised as a man's outfit
Looking back on the classics, such as Weng Meiling in the 83 version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", her female and male clothes are simple and simple, and she can't see any makeup at all, and she has successfully created the image of a young man.
This is the real woman dressing up as a man, not fooling the audience, and respecting the role setting.
In contrast, the high and low judgments
Looking at the women's costumes in other costume dramas, such as Ju Jingyi's semi-permanent makeup and Jing Tian's waterproof eyelashes, they all seem incompatible with men's clothing.
On the contrary, Ye Tong in "The Legend of the New White Lady" and Li Yuan in "The Twelve Hours of Chang'an", their women's and men's clothes appear real and suitable for the role, indistinguishable between male and female, and convincing.
A battle between truth and falsehood
Women dressed as men is not only a test of the actors' acting skills, but also a test of the crew's intentions and attitudes.
Fake men's clothing will only make the audience feel fooled, while real, appropriate men's clothing can immerse the audience in the story.
The directors and actors of domestic dramas should treat this setting more carefully, and stop fooling the audience with clumsy styling.
Respect the original work and the audience
The failure of "Jin Yong's Martial Arts World" is not only a matter of casting and styling, but also a disrespect for the original work and the audience.
In future remakes, I hope that the production team can learn a lesson, truly respect the original work and the audience, and present a more realistic and appropriate character image.
