How long has it been since you had the pleasure of following a costume drama?
After " Celebrating More Than Years 2" ended in early June this year, there has been no costume drama that can compare with it.
" Mo Yuyunjian " has gained a lot of attention with the setting of the heroine's revenge, but in the end it was embarrassed.
finally arrived in the summer season, and "Yan Xin Ji" and " Chinese Years " both hit the market again. The plot of
" Sauvignon Blanc 2" also did not meet expectations, which was a bit disappointing. On the contrary,
is a drama to be aired that is worth looking forward to.
For example, "Sichuan Brocade" starring Tan Songyun and " Flowing Waters " starring Ren Jialun have attracted much attention.
In addition to these two, there is also a costume drama that has attracted much attention.
"The Beauty of the Country" has finished filming and released a special episode, which will be available to the audience in the near future.
With a smooth plot and excellent graphics, "The Beauty of the Country" is definitely a sincere work.
01The plot is light-hearted and inspirational
"The Beauty of the Country" is adapted from Yi Qian Chong's novel of the same name. It tells the story of He Weifang (Yang Zi), a merchant's daughter who divorced from marriage and became famous for her superb skills in cultivating rare peonies. Move to Chang'an.
With the investment of Jiang Changyang (played by Li Xian), the emperor's "flower and bird envoy", He Weifang led her sisters to learn how to live in peace, open shops and do business.
In the end, He Weifang and Jiang Changyang went through many difficulties together, put down the rebellion, and both went into seclusion.
Combining the summary and the final episode, there are two highlights in the play that deserve special attention.
Highlight 1: Writing the Legend of Female Entrepreneurship
It is not difficult to see that the play is based on the heroine's entrepreneurial journey as the main line.
He Weifang in the drama resolutely breaks away from a marriage where only benefits are exchanged, and chooses to use her own skills to gain a foothold in Chang'an.
She first reached a cooperation with Jiang Changyang, one contributed money and the other contributed, and founded the "Hua Xiangrong" brand, which became famous.
After witnessing the hardships of people's livelihood, He Weifang began to start an industry to benefit the people.
In the process, she took in many women who were confused about their future and gave them skills to be self-reliant.
He Weifang’s entrepreneurial path is also a path of growth. Her image is the Tang Dynasty version of an independent woman, confident, self-reliant, self-reliant, not dependent on others, and rich in spirit.
She has written an inspirational entrepreneurial legend in her life.
Highlight 2: Showing the prosperous style of the Tang Dynasty
Watching the scenes in the final episode of this drama is a visual enjoyment.
The pavilions and pavilions in Fangyuan are surrounded by flowers, and a banquet with a meandering water bottle is in progress.
In the bustling market, leisurely people and foreigners form a prosperous scene.
Singing and dancing in the magnificent palace, the emperor and his ministers having fun together, show the atmosphere of a great country.
From the royal palace to the people, this drama shows us the various aspects of the prosperous Tang Dynasty.
In addition to the scenes, the costumes, styles, and makeup in the play are also very sophisticated, restoring the living conditions of the Tang Dynasty people to the greatest extent.
This level of performance is unique in the costume dramas of the past two years.
is such a painstaking and elaborate design, and the main creative team is indispensable.
The director of the play Ding Ziguang has directed "Where the Wind Is" and "In the Name of Family", and the screenwriter Zhang Yuanang is responsible for such hit dramas as " Sweet as Ashes as Frost " and "Old Nine Gates" screenwriter.
The two extraordinary creators will definitely create another classic through this drama.
02 has a strong cast.
The creative team worked hard on the production and were even more attentive in casting.
First of all, Yang Zi.
Yang Zi’s acting skills have always attracted much attention and recognition.
As the "hands-on" heroine among costume dramas, Yang Zi's roles in "Sweet Honey as Ashes as Frost" and " Sauvignon Blanc " were all hits, which shows that the audience recognizes her.
In the new drama, Yang Zi plays He Weifang, a sober and independent character.
Yang Zi's look in this drama is completely different from before. The exquisite makeup on her face does not show any exaggeration, but instead makes it more grand.
He Weifang behaved elegantly and calmly, looking at the busy sisters in the shop with a look of relief on her face.
The personality of this character fits well with Yang Zi, so there is no need to worry about her performance.
followed by Li Xian.
Since his role as Han Shangyan in "Dear Beloved" became popular, Li Xian has become a hot A-list actor.
However, this year's " Spring Love for Love " and "When the Stars Shine" all received mediocre responses. Although Li Xian's works have not reached the original heights since then, his acting skills have always been remarkable.
In the new drama, Li Xian plays the male protagonist Jiang Changyang. As a close minister of the emperor, he has been dormant for many years. On the surface, he is a "flower and bird envoy", but in fact he should have another identity.
The cynical appearance is Jiang Changyang's disguise. A clear mind, calmness and rationality are Jiang Changyang's true personality.
believes that Li Xian can create another classic role in this drama.
It is worth mentioning that this is the second time Yang Zi and Li Xian have starred together after "Dear Beloved".
’s roles as Han Shangyan and Tong Nian in the previous drama were full of CP, and their popularity and reputation are online. This time the two team up together, it seems that they will bring us different surprises.
In addition to the two protagonists, the supporting cast is also impressive.
ranks first, Tu Songyan.
Tu Songyan is a golden supporting role in domestic dramas. He can be seen in "City Within a City", "South and North" and "In the Name of Family".
Behind the many characters, Tu Yansong impresses the audience not with quantity, but with strength.
In the new drama, Tu Yansong plays Prince Ning. In the final episode of
, he was stroking his beard and looking down at the candlelight on the table, as if he was clearing his mind.
This role is not simple. Whether he is an enemy or a friend in the play, his performance is worth looking forward to.
is second, Yang Kun.
Yang Kun is a seasoned actor. In
's "Please Give Me to Her in the Body", which aired in mid-July, Yang Kun used his fifty years to portray a young woman in her twenties.
The look, expression, and every move are completely in line with his age, which shows that Yang Kun's acting skills are superb. In
's new drama, she plays Aunt Sun, and judging from the final episode, she should be the heroine's entrepreneurial partner. ,
This role should not have many roles in the play. With Yang Kun's acting skills, it is no problem at all.
In addition, the play also has actors such as Hao Wenting, Zhang Qi, Zhang Lei, and joining the cast. The actors' abilities are all online, so there is no need to worry about the group scenes.
03 Conclusion
The advantages of "National Beauty" compared to other costume dramas lie in these two points.
The style of current costume dramas is either serious and suspenseful, or revenge dramas, but this drama takes a different path.
unfolds a story with a relaxed atmosphere and a bright rhythm. It is neither depressing nor intellectually depressing, the rhythm is not procrastinating, and the plot is full.
Another point is not the plot but the makeup. Nowadays, the makeup of costume dramas often moves towards the two extremes of minimalism and extreme complexity.
This drama restores the makeup and hair of the Tang Dynasty with great care.
Therefore, "National Beauty and Youth" is a rare masterpiece. Once it is broadcast, it is not a problem to reach the top of the ratings and gain popularity.
