The spy war drama "Harbin 1944" starring Qin Hao , Yang Mi is currently on the air.
In the drama, Yang Mi plays Guan Xue, the secret service chief who drinks black coffee in front of others and sweet milk in the back.
This is a woman who is suspicious and passionate, fierce and soft. She is a very common female agent character in spy war dramas in recent years.
However, this role played by Yang Mi seems to be more charming and less domineering. It is difficult to imagine that she can handle a ruthless character like Pan Yue.
In contrast, although Wang Manchun in "The Pretender" is also a "love brain", as long as she does not face Minglou, her fierceness can almost stop her crying.
Female spies during the Republic of China were quite fashionable, there is no doubt about this.
However, clothing modeling not only needs to be beautiful, but also needs to assist in shaping the character.
Let’s first take a look at the differences in style between Guan Xue and Wang Manchun.
Let’s talk about hairstyle first.
Guan Xue's most common hairstyle in the drama is a big wave.
Even if she is wearing a hat, her hair is still flowing.
also looks disheveled in uniform, which doesn't feel very professional and even a bit procrastinating.
I only put my hair up when I meet Japanese people and wear uniforms and hats.
Big waves are naturally good-looking, especially when paired with exquisite makeup, Guan Xue looks mature and charming, but she lacks a bit of freshness and neatness.
Moreover, she works as a spy and often needs to go out in the field. Her long hair is a bit in the way.
Wang Manchun in "The Pretender" actually also has long, wavy hair.
But this style only appeared after her uncle died and she was recuperating in the hotel. It was a home style.
She always puts her hair up properly during working hours.
If you are wearing a hat, your hair will be stuffed into the hat.
This is done to fit the identity of the character.
In terms of clothing, Guan Xue wears a variety of clothing.
Short windbreakers, long windbreakers, suits, suits, cheongsams, and dresses are all available.
Generally speaking, the clothes in office scenes are mainly windbreakers and suits, and the colors are calm coffee or gray.
also has this kind of shirt + vest combination.
Of course, uniforms are also indispensable.
home clothes are mainly light colors, focusing on a gentle and virtuous person.
Especially when wearing an apron and matching it with such a clean and tidy open kitchen, just looking at the glossy surface, I would have thought it was a scene from an urban romance drama.
Overall, Guan Xue's clothing style is good-looking, but the "cold feeling" is not enough.
emphasizes femininity more than the special attribute of a spy.
In addition, Yang Mi's deportment is a bit unimpressive, and she often shrugs her shoulders and hunchback, which makes Guan Xue's character look a bit fierce and weak, and lacks aura.
Wang Manchun’s clothing is mainly dark, and her windbreaker and boots are also her most common style.
Except for dresses, light colors rarely appear on her.
In terms of clothing material, Wang Manchun’s windbreaker is either made of leather.
Either relatively stiff fabric or wool.
This will make the lines of the clothing tougher and more in line with the characteristics of Wang Manchun, the "cruel devil".
Wang Ou also has a more upright posture, which also makes her look more powerful when wearing uniforms.
Of course, styling only plays a role in shaping the external image.
Whether she has the intimidating feeling of a female spy depends on how she plays it.
Wang Manchun, played by Wang Ou, is a typical femme fatale.
walks with wind when arresting people, with full aura.
When criticizing a subordinate, he slaps him without even blinking.When
speaks ruthlessly, his facial features are not ferocious, but the ruthlessness can be seen in his eyes and clenched teeth.
When the new subordinate asked about all the people who had worked under her before, she raised the corners of her mouth slightly, looking arrogant and cold.
When she was interrogating the prisoner, she was manicuring her nails casually, as if the sound of torture would not cause any emotional fluctuations in her.
The scene that best embodies Wang Manchun’s bloodthirsty character is the New Year’s Eve scene.
She sat on a chair and shot at the prisoners who were helping her like hunting small animals.
even changed weapons midway through.
Her eyes and expressions all show to the audience that this is a murderous female devil who can use people's pain and lives for fun and entertainment.
Before this scene, the audience may have been confused by her beautiful appearance and her suppleness in front of Minglou, but after seeing this scene, everyone will realize that her heart has long been twisted.
is hopeless.
Guan Xue and Wang Manchun are definitely different.
Judging from various details, Guan Xue's inner and outer faces are two different faces.
Perhaps the little woman who drinks milk at home, washes hands and makes soup for her brother and beloved man is her real side.
Her aura and strength are all fake, so when she needs to show anger and ferocity, Guan Xue always feels like she's using too much force.
's contact with Lao Duan was discovered, and her subordinates kindly reminded her to go to the hospital when she was injured, but she scolded her with a ferocious face.
After her subordinate left, she slapped the steering wheel in a helpless rage.
was arresting someone at the train station. She simply announced her home address in a hoarse voice, as if she was afraid that if her voice was too low or her expression was too weak, she would not be able to intimidate the person.
A subordinate made a mistake, but she still lost control and yelled like this.
When her younger brother disobeyed her at the dinner table, she got up, grabbed something and threw it away.
In short, Yang Mi’s performance as Guan Xue always makes people suspect that she may have mania.
Sometimes Guan Xue also wants to show that kind of calm and powerful feeling, but it often seems too bland.
The most obvious one is the scene where she scares the nurse in the hospital. Her tone and expression are calm and relaxed. This is the right acting.
But I don’t know whether it was because her eyes were empty or her expression was too tired, but I always felt that her threat was not a deterrent.
compares the performance of Zhang Zixian in the same scenario.
He didn't speak or have any expression. Just looking at those pregnant women gave people a strong sense of oppression.
When he bent down to look at the baby, he even smiled, but it felt even scarier.
When he asked questions, he spoke softly and slowly, as if he was chatting away, but you felt that there was a knife hidden in every word he said.
This may be the kind of effect Yang Mi wants to perform.
It can’t be said that Yang Mi’s acting in the whole drama was not good. When they reunited on the
platform, she looked at Song Zhuowen with such affection in her eyes that it almost made her hair grow thin.
was teased when she was treating a wound at Lao Jin’s house. She said coquettishly: I don’t like to hear such talk.
The little daughter's mood is also very good.
Maybe emotional drama is Yang Mi’s domain of dominance.
It's just that these more vivid parts don't seem to have much to do with the attribute of female agents.
