​​Although the two classic dramas have many commonalities and similarities, as time goes by, we still find different tastes in them. Perhaps as the audience grows older, we tend to prefer "Yongzheng Dynasty" more and more. It's not that "Kangxi Dynasty" is not good, but "Yongzheng Dynasty" will be more attractive and attractive after years of accumulation. . Although it is difficult for us to tell what is going on, it is indeed the common voice of many people. As a loyal fan of Mr. Er Yuehe, I also particularly like "Emperor Yongzheng" in the emperor trilogy, and I never tire of watching the TV series "Yongzheng Dynasty". What is this for? I think there are two main reasons.

One of the reasons: the positioning of "Yongzheng Dynasty" is accurate, while the positioning of "Kangxi Dynasty" is vague. Why does say that? Attentive audiences will find that "Yongzheng Dynasty" is produced according to the shooting methods of rigorous historical dramas and based on novels. It is incomplete, it is full of joys and sorrows, it is vicissitudes and deep.

​​Let's see the ending of "Yongzheng Dynasty". Yongzheng died violently due to overwork on the record. In the years before his death, his most trusted and relied thirteenth brother, Prince Yinxiang, left him. Surrounded by reform obstructers, the New Deal is difficult. From Yongzheng, we can see the helplessness and sadness of a generation of defending emperors. After watching it, people are in awe of historical figures, feel sad, and have mixed feelings.

​​On the other hand, "Kangxi Dynasty", although positioned as a historical drama, was made into a "cool drama" unknowingly, and it can be called the originator of today's "cool drama". Kangxi ascended the throne at the age of 8, destroying , obeising , pacifying the three feudal vassals, taking over Taiwan, and destroying Ge Erdan... All the way to fight monsters and upgrade, invincible, the arrangement of the plot is really enough to relieve and save energy, and the audience can't help but watch it. Clap your hands and say it's cool, it's really cool.

​​The director and screenwriter seem to have overlooked a very important point, that is, history has never been as simple as fighting monsters and upgrading. History is more full because of its imperfections, and its depth is more prominent because of its vicissitudes and sorrows. The linear outline and rough handling of the plot lead to the result that it is very exciting at first glance, and then it is almost exciting, and it is boring to watch more.

The second reason: There is a big gap between the way actors perform and the performance they pursue. But we should understand a truth. A really good actor is a performance that shows no trace, a performance that is deep and reserved, and a performance that cannot be seen performing.

​​Let's watch "Yongzheng Dynasty", it will be very clear just to give a few examples. Kangxi played by Jiao Huang is calm and sophisticated, without anger, without any traces of excessive performance, without exaggerated expressions, without roaring voices, one look, one expression, one line, one action, as if Kangxi was possessed, making the audience unable to help. Compliment: Exactly! The real Kangxi should be like this! The Yongzheng played by Tang Guoqiang is not inferior at all, enough to support the identity of the first male protagonist. We carefully watched Tang Guoqiang's meticulous performance when he succeeded to the throne, when he punished corrupt officials, and when he exposed his murderous intentions with Wu Sidao and , without too many actions, only one expression can express the psychological changes of Yongzheng at that time in rich and distinct layers, this is the strength group!

​​We can also look at Wang Huichun's Eight Sages, whose superb acting skills are even more impressiveThe case is amazing! Many characters in "Yongzheng Dynasty", such as Thirteen Masters, Wu Sidao, Li Wei, etc., are very exciting. It is the wonderful performances provided by the excellent actors that make this drama between men a classic classic.

​​Looking back at "Kangxi Dynasty", it doesn't mean that Mr. Chen Daoming's Kangxi is not good, or that Mr. Siqin Gaowa's Xiaozhuang is not good enough. Most of the characters in it are very good and pass the test. But what the author wants to say is that the meaning of poor is precisely that the performance is so good that the traces of the performance are too obvious. We see that in "Kangxi Dynasty", Kangxi and Xiaozhuang often have roaring performances in the later period and feel a little uncomfortable. This is the reason.

​​No wonder some netizens commented: Mr. Chen Daoming's version of Kangxi is the most similar; and Mr. Jiao Huang's version of Kangxi is Kangxi himself!

​​is one piece at a time, the way of civil and military. The same is true of acting. A really good performance is when you seem to be immersed in the hypothetical situation created by the actor, ignoring that he is actually performing.

​​It is undeniable that both "Yongzheng Dynasty" and "Kangxi Dynasty" are rare classics over the years, but due to their different positioning, they have created classics with different perceptions and styles. one's man meat is another man's poison. What the author expresses is only the words of a personal family!
