is hilarious, fast, and really entertaining!
It is said that the video of sister complaining about "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace" was reported in real name, and it was also on the hot search...
Let's just say, the price of starring in a TV series for the first time is too high, right?
However, this drama has been criticized, and it really cannot be entirely blamed on the actors.
First, the original author Liu Lianzi wrote the queen and emperor as crazy men and women, and then there was a director who was not as sophisticated as Zheng Xiaolong in terms of quality control.
Even if it is tinkered with in film and television, it is to be expected that it will not be able to turn the tide.
Today, let's talk about why "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace", which was expected to become "The Legend of Zhen Huan" 2.0, ended up being so criticized, and what is a good female group portrait and female friendship costume drama.
Convincing Taoism is not the same style of painting
It goes against too many historical facts
Why is "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace" not as good as "The Legend of Zhen Huan" in terms of reputation?
In fact, when it comes to persuasion, the difference between the two dramas is not that big.
But when Zhen Huan was a girl, no matter her clothes, makeup or Sun Li's appearance at that time, she was extremely radiant.
As for Ruyi in the Qingying period, with a tired look on her face and bob lips still in the recovery period, it is difficult to convince the audience that she is a beautiful girl.
In addition, it is said that many of the flags in this drama were bought by stylists in Dongdaemun, South Korea. The protagonist's jade ornaments are quite expensive, but some of the concubines' ornaments are very plastic and fake flowers, and they look crowded.
There are also clothes with exquisite patterns. You can imagine that the concubines must be wearing natural silk fabrics.
However, many of the clothes in the drama not only lack the gracefulness of silk and satin, but also look like organza or curtain fabrics due to their high saturation.
With such persuasiveness, naturally it cannot stand to be looked at with a magnifying glass.
has a strong sense of plasticity, not only in its persuasiveness, but also in some awkward-sounding lines.
"Your words make me feel happy, and I am named Concubine Shu"; "This princess comes at the right time, and I am named Princess Heyi"; "The noble lady of the sea makes me feel happy, and I am named Concubine Yu".
There is also this plain line: "Queen, come and send the children to school."
For those who didn’t know, I thought the princes also went to Harrow School.
I just want to ask, did Qianlong, who wrote 40,000 poems, have such poor speaking skills?
Let’s talk about a bigger bug in this drama besides the actors: it seriously violates the real history.
The punishment in the play was criticized by many viewers as low.
Throughout the history of the Qing Dynasty, no matter which emperor was in power, if a concubine in the harem beat a maid to death, it was a major event that shocked the entire harem.
According to real historical records, one of Qianlong's concubines was so arrogant that she beat a palace maid to death and was directly demoted. The implicated leader eunuch was directly dismissed from his post and fined. The concubine also had to pay 100 taels of silver to the family of the deceased.
In Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace, and even in the Legend of Zhen Huan, there are often plots in which concubines kill people.
Especially Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace, there are many methods of punishment, such as slaps, slaps, stiff punishments, and whippings and cat punishments. There are many plots that make people uncomfortable, and the shots are particularly detailed.
Some netizens edited it, and the entire punishment sequence of the show was cut out and put together for an hour or two.
gives the impression that it is not trying to show the cruelty of feudal society, nor is it trying to show the distortion of human nature, but it is very happy to film these. Is this filming a palace fight drama or a filming of the top ten tortures of the Qing Dynasty?
Even if it is a palace battle drama, it shouldn’t be filmed like girls in a vocational high school engaging in humiliation and bullying, right? The most unsympathetic thing about
is that the plot details are wrong and the character creation is also wrong.
The netizens who are watching "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace" and "The Legend of Zhen Huan" now all watched Aunt Qiong Yao's "Huan Zhuge Ge" when they were children.
It is not easy to convince them that the Queen and Huang Ama, who have killed Xiao Yanzi, are childhood sweethearts.
Historically, Empress Fucha, Concubine Gao, Concubine Jia, and Concubine Ling were named by Qianlong to be buried with him, and these four concubines all died before Qianlong.
And in history, Wei Yanwan gave birth to children one after another, and even started to sleep with them before finishing her confinement. It is impossible to say that the emperor had no feelings for them.
It would be okay if the drama showed the period of life in the prince's palace where Ruyi and Qianlong first fell in love, but there were almost no emotional scenes between the two before entering the palace.
The plot of this drama fails to even respect the most basic history, and it does not go to the other extreme of being completely imaginary.
In the end, the emperor, the two queens, and the other concubines in the plot line of revenge and favor were all very embarrassed. She was the innocent white lotus, and the other concubines had to be bad guys.
The logic of the entire plot is very confusing and unclear. The funniest thing is that the emperor is dealing with the concubines. Due to the chaotic emotional line, he gets angry, kicks, slaps, and goes crazy at every turn. He looks like he is suffering from bipolar disorder. Disease.
It’s too difficult for the audience...
It’s all down. Ruyi in the play expects herself to be: pure, indifferent, warm and kind.
But we can also see that without scheming and insufficient IQ, Ruyi can't even be a good person in the palace, and she is quite unable to empathize.
The character itself is not complete enough
There is no resonant core
"Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace" and "Story of Yanxi Palace" were released at about the same time, which is equivalent to directly putting the two characters of Ruyi and Ling Fei together to compete.
At that time, "Story of Yanxi Palace" was a big hit, and its reputation was even better, but Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace was criticized by all kinds of people.
It can be seen that villains are not necessarily unlikable, and decent people are not necessarily popular.
So what is the problem with the character Ruyi?
In the play, she wanted love in the early stage and wanted to become a monk in the later stage. She seemed to have seen through the world of mortals, but in fact she had always been obsessed with the many fantasies she had created.
Her fantasy about love was shattered, and her final choice to cut off her hair also meant that she was forced to passively escape.
finally presents an idea that is best understood by the audience. Is this character looking a bit stupid?
Moreover, the transformation of the TV series has made this kind of stupidity 7 points stupid and 3 points vicious, which really puts the actors who play the role at a disadvantage.
For example, on some insignificant details, the other concubines made dumplings during the Chinese New Year, but Ruyi only brought ready-made vinegar, which felt a bit perfunctory.
Let’s just say, isn’t it okay to ask the palace maid to make a few dumplings and take them with her?
This perfunctory attitude of not taking the initiative to solve problems is even worse when it comes to major issues. Wei Yanwan, Jingxin, and Hailan have all experienced this.
Ling Yunche asked Ruyi to save Wei Yanwan. Ruyi's reaction was that Concubine Jia loved to torture Wei Yanwan, so she would not kill her. This...
Imperial Physician Jiang liked to worry, so he kept coming even after the two of them entered the cold palace. Obviously she After leaving the cold palace, she could point out Ling Xin to Dr. Jiang. She had to wait for Ling Xin to break her leg before letting her get married. Didn't she think about Ling Xin's pain?
Xingxin's leg was broken, and Ruyi's revenge for her was just to make two small holes in Garfield's ears. Let's just say, who would dare to follow such a kind and indifferent master in the palace?
If you say these things, it means that Ruyi has no harmful intentions, but when he saw that Aruo, who was born as a slave, also had long nails, Ruyi broke his guard and pulled out Aruo's nails.
In the later period, he even condoned Hailan's revenge, but he could not see Hailan's despicable methods.
A series of saucy operations make Ruyi's character empty, fake and twisted. She is a proper privileged lady who looks down on her sisters from poor backgrounds.
Compared with Zhen Huan's treatment of Jin Xi, Concubine Jia's treatment of the maids brought by her parents' family, and even Wei Yanwan's treatment of her own girls, Ruyi, are inferior.
She always has a feeling of emptiness in everything she does, and does not talk openly with others. She feels that she is the most aloof, but in fact she does not have much ability to solve problems...
Even her most valued kindness and non-dispute are somewhat superficial. surface.
Hailan was framed by Huo Fei and sent to the Shenxing Division. Even Rong Pei persuaded Ruyi to plead for Hailan, but she was indifferent and said that her husband would definitely not let her sister Hailan suffer.
In fact, Hailan did suffer a lot, but she was just short of being sentenced. Forget it if she didn't plead. Later, Hailan wanted to ask to see her but was refused. Hailan could have saved her by poisoning herself. Sisters!
On the other hand, when Concubine Shu was in trouble, Ruyi had to go to the fire scene even though she had a big belly! (We will mention why they have a good relationship later)
suffers from being her good sister, and also suffers from being her girl.
Huanhuan would wash her clothes in cold water outside the palace and suffered from frostbite, but Ruyi had to wear armor in the cold palace. Once she returned to the palace, she would have to take a comfortable bath with her hands full of frostbite.
There is also a scene where Ruyi deducts money from the midwife and says she doesn’t believe she harmed her son for a few dozen taels of silver.
This is really hard to say. If you are too short of money, why not sell some of your own jewelry...
Ruyi may have a good character, but a good character does not mean that he can be a good person. If you look closely, because he does not know how to be a good person and does not bother to be a good person, this The character displayed by the character is just like that.
There is also the emperor she cares about most. She may not really understand or love the emperor.
Young Boy Lang and Lan Yinxuguo are mentioned all the time in the drama.
When the emperor helped Ruyi become the queen, he hoped that Ruyi would help him and be his good brother.
For example, if the emperor falls in love with Han Xiangjian, he will discuss it with Ruyi, but what Ruyi wants is, how can I make the emperor only love me?
is too idealistic and too unrealistic.
Throughout the whole drama, she rarely did anything to actually help Zha Long, solve his problems, and she did not simply make him happy like your concubine. It seemed that most of the love was her psychological activity.
seems like those innocent girls who have little love experience but are prone to thinking a lot.
It is impossible to say that she awakened the feminist consciousness in the harem like "Jingxin" and "Story of Yanxi Palace".
Ruyi just thinks that herself and her love are more noble.
For example, she and Shu Bin would secretly laugh at the other concubines, "They see naked desire in the emperor's eyes, but we are different."
Another example is when she pulled out A Ruo's fingernails, which was a bit of a bit of a rivalry.
But for Fucha Rongyin, who also came from a wealthy family, she felt that he was from the same noble privileged class as herself, so she couldn't compete with him.
As for her spiritual love with the emperor, she thought she and the emperor were connected, but in fact they were not connected at all.
She couldn't quite understand it, and she wasn't willing to fulfill the emperor's wishes.
For example, when it came to choosing the princess to marry, Zha Long actually felt more sorry for his daughter at the beginning, and was even less willing to marry He Jing.
But Ruyi stood firmly with the Queen Mother from the beginning. If she said it was because she hated the Queen, that would be fine; but the whole drama emphasized that she loved the Emperor. In this matter, she really did not see that she put the Emperor's wishes first.
Looking at Ruyi’s love, it’s more like she let the emperor prove it to himself.
The emperor has failed to prove himself, and she still comes up with cold words to discourage him. How can this satisfy the emperor who needs emotional value?
Let’s take a look at the emperor’s love for her.
Because Han Xiangjian asked her for help, the emperor asked her to go to the Leng Palace, where she worked as a prostitute and sold money. Except for the queen of the Leng Palace, the emperor said that he had seen every prostitute she made.
But after seeing it, he sent it out of the palace to sell it.
was ridiculed by netizens, but the love Ruyi received was the love of the quality inspector.
does not take the initiative to attack the enemy, nor does he work hard to protect his own people. He is too addicted to love but creates many illusions.
Ruyi’s three-piece suit in the play: It’s in vain for me to go, I have nothing to say, I have no excuses.
This kind of unclearness and lack of subjective initiative are the reasons why people don’t want to play the role of Ruyi and can’t stand it.
In the later stage, she didn't care about anything and didn't pay attention to anything, because she really couldn't do anything.
On the contrary, it is Zhen Huan and Wei Yanwan. One is a revengeful heroine, and the other is a small character trying to climb up. Both dramas have good reputations.
It can be seen that it does not mean that villains are annoying, the audience wants to see the complete psychological motivation and normal behavioral logic.
There are no absolute good people, and there are no absolute bad people. The most touching thing is that even if life is unbearable and you are stuck in the mud, you still want to work hard to protect people and have dreams you want to realize. This is what makes people like you. of humanity.
As for how to film a costume drama well?
The Legend of Zhen Huan provides the ideal female friendship between Huan Huan and Sister Mei, and "Story of Yanxi Palace" also shows the ambition and awakening in women's hearts.
Especially in "Story of Yanxi Palace", the queen and Ruyi in the play are the same person in history. Let's take a look at the most brilliant confrontation between her and the emperor.
In this line, the queen not only sheds her shell of a wife, but even becomes a remonstrating minister like Hai Rui.
Ruyi, the same queen in Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace, will only cut off her hair severely. The punishment for the emperor is that you will lose my love forever, and I will go to the cold palace by myself. I won't say more about who is higher or lower, just It can be said that the audience's eyes are sharp.
Women in traditional costume dramas have enough distorted rights and distorted love. Even if the audience doesn’t want to be Zhen Huan who turns into a revenge queen, they don’t want to be Ruyi who only has false illusions of love in her life.
