There are more and more fairy tale dramas nowadays, and "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" has launched three sequels and adaptations in just one year. There is no way, who is called "The Legend of Sword and Fairy"? "It's a classic IP.
However, the Fairy Sword IP is too grand, and it is difficult to digest the ordinary cast and screenwriting skills, so it is easy to overturn. The recent Fairy Sword work "Meet Xiaoyao Again" is undoubtedly a blockbuster, and the heroine Yang Yutong in it is It even caused a lot of complaints.
01 The character's appearance does not match
At that time, Zhao Ling'er in "Legend of Sword and Fairy" was played by Liu Yifei. Not only did she have a very beautiful and gentle face, she also fully performed the innocence and agility of the girl, which made many people be attracted by it. Infected by the aura of the character.
Through the Fairy Sword series, Liu Yifei has truly confirmed her path to costume dramas and has become the representative of "fairies".
In "Meet Xiaoyao Again", the image played by Yang Yutong is also Zhao Ling'er. However, the moment she comes out, she feels very ordinary. Her face shape and mouth shape have certain flaws, which reduces her beauty. Quite a few.
Moreover, her facial features are so concentrated that she looks cramped and petty when photographed, especially those clear eyes. Although they are big, they are too close together, and even the lines on her double eyelids look special. It was so deep that she showed some fatigue. When she lowered her head, she showed a sense of arrogance, as if she was despising others. When she raised her eyes, she looked a bit bitter and not grand at all.
Moreover, beautiful eyes are always smart and full of energy, but Yang Yutong's eyes are dull, giving people an extremely decadent feeling, not like a fairy at all. If her eyes were brighter and her facial features were more stretched, she would look more harmonious, but she cannot do this, so she has been criticized by many people as the worst fairy heroine in history.
02 The character design does not match
Yang Yutong is a pretty girl herself, but the shape of her face and the direction of her facial muscles determine that she is more suitable for starring in the heroine of a bitter love drama, and suitable for playing the role of a little white flower with a tragic life experience.
This is reflected in "The Storm". The girl played by Yang Yutong in the play originally had a bright future, but due to many unexpected factors, she became a very sad person and was reduced to the lowest fate. Being crushed and bullied by the underworld eventually led to death, like a little white flower falling into the black soil.
Later, Yang Yutong played another very tragic character, Chen Xiaoming, who died unexpectedly at the beginning of the TV series. The subsequent plot began to reveal the reason for her death. It gives the impression that she is very suitable for handling such a "small town girl", and she can control them well whether they are weak and tragic, or flattering and vain.
After Yang Yutong played these tragic female characters, he acted in "Meet Xiaoyao Again" again, which gave people a strong sense of contradiction. His own style conflicted with the characters in the play, and there was no fairy spirit at all.
When creating the role of Zhao Ling'er, Yang Yutong did work very hard, but her transformation was not deep enough and she did not completely change her "bitter little white flower".
There is a scene in the play where Yang Yutong and Anu are walking on the road together looking for spiritual beads. Zhao Ling'er, played by Yang Yutong, stared at the whole scene and rushed forward very calmly. His brows were furrowed and his eyes were locked, and his expression remained unchanged. He was motionless, as if he was wandering in a trance. Even when Anu bumped into her, her expression didn't move at all. Such a bitter look was really against Zhao Ling'er's character.
To be fair, Yang Yutong is also a beauty herself. Her beauty has certain characteristics, which makes the audience willing to immerse themselves in appreciating her beauty and enter the film and television world she builds again and again.
However, when she challenged an image that was not suitable for her, she instantly ruined the character and turned the fairy-like girl Zhao Ling'er into an ordinary woman in the world. It is really regrettable. I hope she will choose more suitable ones in the future. own image.
