The Secret of Canglan: The Victory of Oriental Aesthetics

is also a summer file that is dominated by ancient puppets and fairy tales. Under the double attack of " Xinghan Splendid " and " Agarwood ", I didn't expect that " Canglan Jue" was completely unpopular. " actually counterattacked perfectly as a dark horse.

is really a bit special among the dramas of the same genre. As the director said, it is not a fairy tale drama, but Oriental Fantasy . It can be seen that the director's ambition has already reached a level in the pattern.

must boast about the special effects, and the 4K effect is even more impressive.

is indeed more grand in the presentation of special effects (it is said to have used 400 million), mirror movement, fuhuadao (handmade by non-legacy craftsmen), and OST. The story is also more innovative than the previous Xianxia dramas. As a passerby who doesn't like watching ancient puppets and Xianxia, ​​I have to objectively say the last sentence, the main creative team is really intentional and aesthetic.

In addition to the aesthetics of professional shooting angles, the aesthetics of casting is also nothing to say.

Wang Hedi, who plays Dongfang Qingcang, the male protagonist, is the biggest beneficiary of the casting aesthetics of "Canglan Jue".

Compared with many people who say that because Dongfang Qingcang got Wang Hedi's appearance, I have noticed him as early as the " Meteor Garden " period, because can debut just by relying on his face. , this face is extremely convincing.

Orthodox oriental face - thick but not glamorous

Looking at the entertainment industry, how many so-called handsome guys can convince the public? Most of them rely on the packaging of idols. On the faces of fans who are mythical, they are full of traces of makeup industry. After removing the blessings of the lighting and stage beauty, they cannot stand scrutiny at all. The concave feeling that I think is handsome is even more greasy.

But the literal meaning of "handsome" is, you can say that you don't like Wang Hedi's style, but it's hard to admit that Wang Hedi is not handsome, is not ugly because of his hardware.

has always been that Chinese aesthetic standards for handsome guys are extremely strict, Japan pursues a sense of natural vitality, South Korea pays attention to makeup and atmosphere, Chinese handsome guys are absolutely the product of 's meticulous crafting of , from outlines, proportions to facial features, all are extremely Sophisticated.

has thick eyebrows and big eyes, high nose and jade lips, standard three courts and five eyes, without losing the three-dimensionality, but with oriental charm is thick but not bright, Chinese favorite standard thick-faced handsome guy, this face completely matches .

is concentrated in the strong presence of the skin and bones, which can support the 's grand and noble 's pattern, but its own temperament is not superficially vulgar, but clear and heroic.

The Qingjun youth of the Republic of China

is so handsome that he has no fanfare, does not need to rely on a sense of atmosphere, and the hardware in his bones is unshakable.

It's not without bugs, the face is a little asymmetrical and the mouth is protruding, but they are all innocuous and happy on the whole, and they are still bright enough to kill the entertainment circle with their faces.

That's why, Chai Zhiping met Wang Hedi, who was still an amateur for the first time in a talent show, so he decided to play the leading role Daoming Temple , although I don't agree with the value of artists relying on their faces , but In the face of absolute beauty and justice, you have to admit that 's good looks is indeed a strength, and there is no need to avoid it.

It's no wonder that Yoko Ramu praises him as a male Daji, and can enjoy the happiness of King Zhou on his face.

Feel the hot joy

Indeed, there is a vortex on this face, the more you look at it, the more insidious it becomes. When

starred in "Meteor Garden" in his early years, 19-year-old Wang Hedi was able to paralyze South Korean airports. This face is also very popular in Southeast Asia. Why did

have no name in China before? First, it may be because Chinese people tend to be introverted in terms of aesthetic habits, and it is easier to accept a gentle and Confucian appearance. Wang Hedi's face is too good-looking and aggressive; second, and then The handsome and handsome guy can't stand the roughness of being inappropriate for the Tao, see " Yulong ", and the acting skills are really lacking, so the appearance is buried.

But look at the ugly men in ancient costumes in recent years, it's really time to wash your eyes with the orthodox thick face system, recalling the past, our ancient costume male gods are all orthodox big thick faces, Tianya Simei , Gu Tianle , Jiao Enjun ...

We need to have this kind of self-confidence, the one who can stand on the beauty of the cloud must be the thick face of the oriental style, The mysterious power of the noble and orthodox oriental face can unify the aesthetics of.

Heaven's Chosen Dongfang Qingcang——bking King

But not all good-looking handsome guys can play Dongfang Qingcang.

Dongfang Qingcang, the first powerhouse in the Three Realms, has an absolute king's temperament, a stunningly beautiful man in the oriental style, of course, he has to match the orthodox oriental face, and he must first have a strong in appearance.

The outline has a certain sense of squareness, neither too thick nor too frivolous. He is also a handsome guy with excellent bone appearance. Take the other two actors as an example, Lin Borui who plays the Que, has a rough appearance and a temperament Wupi , will feel heavier.

plays the role of Xunfeng Zhang Chen Xiao has a slender body, is slender and light, and is a little sick.

Wang Hedi, who is between the two, looks more noble and intellectual than Lin Bairui, and more stable than Zhang Chenxiao. One more point in is heavy, and one point less is empty. is just right. subtle.

Changheng Xianjun Zhang Linghe is also a handsome Chinese guy, but he belongs to another faction, his facial features are more stretched, his temperament is warm and clear, and is the male version of Bai Yueguang. In previous Xianxia dramas, this is the standard male lead. .

Wang Hedi's facial features are more concentrated and more aggressive, which adds to the temperament of the king of .

are exactly the look and feel of red and white roses, an unrestrained and cold Gu, and a smooth-flowing Che, they are all stunners in male sex.

But to play Mozun , it must be a strong face.

's orthodox appearance with high three-dimensionality and high intensity means that it requires colorful makeup and a strong character, so Dongfang Qingcang is the best spokesperson for 's dark and gorgeous .

Those exaggerated armors and headgear may be exaggerated for others, but in the thick face, everything is reasonable.

The more graceful and luxurious, the more dramatic the drama, the more full of this faceThe vampire style is thick and gorgeous, just like the lonely and charming king of .

, ​​which has been criticized by the whole network, "Yu Long" is not good-looking, because it is too pale, and the clothing lacks texture. You are very suitable for Xianbai.

Secondly, the role of Dongfang Qingcang also has a strong sense of oppression, which is very suitable for Bking face.

What is a bking face, that is, a face that you won't hate when pretends to be forceful.

Wang Hedi's appearance tone is the Chinese standard Zhou Zheng, which supports the king's aura of Dongfang Qingcang, but his dynamic temperament is ruffian , which is in line with Dongfang Qingcang's arrogance and coldness, and also has a little bit of middle school.

Therefore, his interpretation of Dongfang Qingcang's Bking sense will not make people feel disgusted, because the king is naturally strong and can be arrogant, that kind of casual laziness and relaxation, but also very charming.

And just looking at this face, the match rate is as high as 80%, and the remaining 20% ​​of acting skills can be played normally. Obviously, Wang Hedi not only did it, but also improved a lot in his acting skills. From the AI ​​style of "Yulong" From his acting skills to Dongfang Qingcang's performance, I think he still has a certain talent in acting.

Regarding the boss, some people must have preconceived the idea that he will become a facial paralysis, but the king has always looked down on the world, usually his emotions are not visible, and it will not be easily detected, and if you look closely, you can still capture Wang Hedi's influence on the East Qing Cang's handling of many micro-expressions, especially crying scenes, has a certain level and appeal.

And in the collapse of the king, the embarrassing interpretation, there is a broken beauty of .

A lot of people say that Wang Hedi is in the role of Dongfang Qingcang, yes or not, Dongfang Qingcang's overlord character is really lovable, but if you change the role, you may not be able to perform the natural Bking effect. If you don't have a face with Bking strength, if you don't have it, and your acting skills are not allowed, you will most likely be facial paralysis; if your acting skills are too good, it's easy to fall into the greasiness of chaotic facial features, acting as the boss, really is not that simple.

is said to be Wang Hedi who was recommended by the screenwriter to play Dongfang Qingcang. In private, Wang Hedi is a sunny and funny straight man.

But he can feel the most primitive and direct happiness power in him. This truth makes him have a vivid and brilliant "live", is not as burdened and shrewd as other stars, and it can be remembered and shrewd at a glance. Feeling alive.

and the handsome guy knows how to be grateful, which is a bonus.

I think maybe the screenwriter just took a fancy to some kind of high-spirited second and frank confidence in him?

When it comes to self-confidence, in fact, it is similar to Dongfang Qingcang. They are basically straight men. Dongfang Qingcang has always been strong and self-aware. Wang Hedi is also handsome and self-aware. TheyThere is no twisting in his body, he knows his strengths, and he does not hesitate to show his strengths.

So, to play Dongfang Qingcang, you still need some fate.

The aesthetic behind the tyrant

is not uncommon just like the tyrant's character design, why Dongfang Qingcang can still make people shine, it must be related to aesthetics, not only the character design, but also the processing and service of sound and light. The sophistication of the Tao, the direction of the screenwriter, etc., only when all the links are aesthetically online can a high-quality play be supported.

First of all, we have to praise makeup.

Thank goodness, there is finally no inappropriate headgear, and finally abandon the two bangs that would seal the handsome guy's appearance. I feel that the modeling team really started from the actors themselves. In the makeup part of

, ​​the details are also very good, such as Dongfang Qingcang's eyeliner, which is full of Gu and arrogance, which corresponds to the character of the character.

still emphasizes that sentence, the handsome guys and beauties of ancient puppet dramas really don't need extra bangs, they all show their beautiful foreheads and faces generously.

The same is true in life, most beautiful women are more suitable for the shape without bangs, Wang Hedi is the same, how the teacher said, he has a natural sense of handsome , so is also very light in Japanese style. fit.

before a group of Japanese blockbuster Bazaar is very out of the circle, even if I have not seen the version of "Meteor Garden" he acted, but seeing this face is established, although there is Yan Chengxu Zhuyu before At first, I still think Wang Hedi is the Daoming Temple that best fits the cartoon image. He has the innate juvenile ruffianness and the domineering of the noble son, and does not need to be dressed up.

Secondly, the clothing is also worth mentioning.

The male protagonist, because of his distinguished status as a demon, naturally has the highest configuration, which is quite "expensive".

In contrast, the heroine's clothes are a little more plain, but they are also cute.

The costumes of other characters also fit the characters' identities and personalities, especially Xie Wanqing's oiran style, which is very classical and luxurious.

Chang Heng's immortal battle uniform will sparkle even in 4K.

Of course, the visual aesthetics are just the icing on the cake. The oriental blanks in the 's shooting language, at this time, the artistic conception of silence is better than sound is the core of the beauty of oriental narrative.

For example, regarding filming 's sense of destiny, is the devil Dongfang Qingcang who goes to the little orchid without hesitation, and Chang Heng who is trapped in the status of Xianjun and can only helplessly give up.

About love and redemption, is the outstretched hand that will never fail, and every hug has a firm response.

About the king's loneliness and brokenness, is facing the inner stillness alone under the dim yellow light.

is the forbearance of the corner of the eye and the embarrassment that is unwilling to be exposed.

About the budding of emotion, it is the eye-to-eye look between the sea of ​​clouds, the throbbing caused by the unknown.

's emotional progression is willing to give her the next petal rain, secretly picking off the ring and feeling her happiness here.

In the end, you will see that under the Seven Love Tree, when the boy who took off his identity as a Demon Lord faced the fluttering emotions for the first time, he was overwhelmed and helpless.

and the "deep love" when the two looked at each other again.

Every scene has a reverberating aftertaste, and every emotional rhythm is portrayed with traceable and delicate, which belongs to the freehand brushwork of the Eastern style.

Why do I lack trust in the previous ancient puppet fairy, because any emotion generation has no foundation, no foreshadowing, and lacks the beauty of the picture between emotional exchanges and the space where the audience can empathize .

and so on, in many details, I saw the word "sincerity" in "Freesia Jue".

respects the audience's eyes visually, and the beauty of everything is the beauty of form. "Canglan Jue" uses special effects, scenes, lenses and other designs to create a fantasy full of oriental romance, which not only gives the audience an immersive experience. The experience also provides a broader narrative space for the interpretation of the characters.

In the casting process, it's been a long time since there are no handsome men in ancient costumes, and it's been a long time since I saw a cool and refreshing Chinese handsome guy who can make people amazing in terms of appearance.

"Freedom of the Orchid" has truly achieved the inside and outside of the show, and there are no ugly men in the whole staff.

Sheng Que and Xun Feng are also very handsome

respects the audience's psychology in terms of character design, everyone has a brain and a position, not only the hero and heroine, but also the portrayal of group portraits, everyone is vivid and three-dimensional, and everyone grows up is logical.

also fully respects the audience's mind in the plot. There are no routines, the rhythm is tight, joyful and meticulous.

I believe that many people watch "The Canglan Jue" with the mentality of a boring sweet pet drama to pass the time. It does have a sweet coat, but it is not sweet, and the inside is completely solid. If you are willing to put aside your prejudice, you may be able to. Feeling the sublimation behind it, about the common people, about the choice of position, about love and redemption, there are different expressions of pouring.

Of course, I can't say that "Freedom of the Orchid" is perfect, but at least, in the current situation where similar dramas are shoddy, it is already very precious to be able to respect the word " respect" .
