The costume drama "The Years of Life" starring Zhang Linghe and Zhao Jinmai has finally come to an end. The outrageousness of this ending has been expected for a long time.
When the heir to the royal family died, no matter what, the remaining prince went to travel around the world. Then the heroine is still just the princess of the prison country, and she cannot be the queen.
The plot of this ending is like, the boss finds a professional wage earner, and then goes out to play by himself. When he gets tired of playing, the boss comes back, and the wage earner still has to step aside to make way for someone better.
Throughout history, it’s not like there were no queens, but now that we are in a modern society, there are still no female-centered endings in film and television dramas.
No matter how useless a man is, the highest position will be reserved for the least useful one because of his gender. No matter how powerful a woman is, she can’t take it away.
I went to watch it because I was very curious about the ending. Apart from the flaws in the plot, I also want to complain about Zhao Jinmai’s acting. The eldest princess she played was really too weak. Even if she was standing in the court wearing a gorgeous dress, I still couldn’t watch it. Not a bit clever.
If the second male lead said a few more words, she would even hate her younger brother. Then she hated her younger brother's choice because she wanted to support Concubine Rou's son to become a puppet.
laughed to death, wasn't her brother also a puppet in his previous life? In the later period, even if he didn't succeed in taking power, he even harmed her. This time, not only did he not choose his biological brother, he instead found his archrival and wanted to give him power.
When faced with questioning, she would always turn her eyes red and pretend to be strong, acting aggrieved. Then when you can't hold it in anymore, spit it out in one breath.
You have acted in so many episodes. After more than 40 years, why are you still asking? With this mentality, how do you manage to hold power without being torn away by the courtiers?
Throughout the drama "The Year of the Flower", the eldest princess Li Rong, played by Zhao Jinmai, is full of a sense of grievance anytime and anywhere. Even though she is the highest-status person among women, she still looks very weak.
At first I thought it was because of Zhao Jinmai’s facial shape, so she couldn’t portray Li Rong’s aura of power. But after watching several other versions of the eldest princess, I can see that she is smart enough to perform, but in the final analysis, her acting skills are still not perfect enough.
1. Princess Taiping
Among the adaptations of film and television dramas, the princess with the most images is none other than Princess Taiping. She is the only daughter in history who is the most beloved daughter of a female emperor. This status is enough to stand out from the crowd.
But most of the adaptations like to set up Princess Taiping as a love brain who is sad for spring and autumn, and rarely shows her obvious ambition, such as the most classic "Ci of Daming Palace".
Princess Taiping, played by Chen Hong, sneaked out of the palace when she was young. She caught a glimpse of Xue Shao in the night market, and from then on she got out of control and embarked on a road burdened by emotions.
Later, Xue was taken care of by Wu Zetian because of political issues. In the midst of her grief, Princess Taiping was gradually drawn into court affairs by Wu Zetian.
You think she is going to work hard for her career, but in fact she is still miserable. The most important thing in her heart is love.
The only film that thoroughly captured the character of Princess Taiping’s ambitions in the imperial court and had a pretty good scene was TVB’s “The Secret of the Palace”.
Princess Taiping, played by Chen Wei, does not hide her ambitions at all. She has been fighting hard since her appearance. All the calculations and thoughts are superimposed, making her very difficult to bully.
are already the eldest princesses who have come into contact with authority. They have to face all kinds of calculations and various characters, and they will kill everyone everywhere. Standing there, they know that they are not easy to mess with, and they are very smart and capable.
2. Princesses of the Han Dynasty
Apart from Princess Taiping, the most powerful ones are definitely the princesses of the Han Dynasty. Nominate two princesses who are very close in time period, namely Princess Guantao and Princess Pingyang.
After watching "Beauty's Scheming", you know that Princess Guantao is the daughter of Liu Heng and Dou Yifang. She is the most favored girl. In her life, she rarely felt wronged.
This identity also made her short-sighted. The Princess Guantao played by Qi Wei was stupid from the audience's point of view, but from her point of view, it was indeed the best choice at the time.
The relationship between her parents was not good before she got married. Suddenly, her father mysteriously seemed to be passing away. In addition, she had a mother who was partial to her younger son, and her younger brother was away from home and couldn't make it home.
called her biological brother back and clarified everything to ensure that her brother would not lose his status as prince and be able to respond quickly even if there were problems.
Qi Wei played the role of Guan Tao with both pride and thoughtfulness very well. The shortcomings of the character are all reflected in her acting skills. Still saying that, he has come into contact with the center of power, how could he not have some thoughts of his own.
Guantao's daughter is the one who married Princess Pingyang's younger brother Jinwu Cangjiao. This Princess Pingyang also continued the intimidating power of the princesses of the Han Dynasty.
The TV series "Wei Zifu" tells the life of Wei Zifu who left Princess Pingyang's mansion. Although Princess Pingyang is not the protagonist, her role is still very fulfilling.
At first glance, this princess is very love-minded. She has been married several times before, and she has a kind of beauty of swallowing her anger. Therefore, her previous consorts could accuse them in front of her.
After she couldn't bear it anymore, her aura was in full swing. In an instant, she had the noble aura of the eldest princess of the dynasty, and she calmly and calmly attacked the entire audience, and no one could do anything to her.
What impressed me most was the death of Wei Qing in the end, and Wei Zifu was about to fall out of favor. She took Wei Qing's armor and went straight to the palace gate.
The queen was defiled and the emperor insisted on punishing her. Pingyang is heartbroken and is willing to kneel at the palace gate and set an example to admonish the emperor. If everyone believes that the queen is innocent and is willing to plead for the queen, please kneel with me in the palace.
Although she was a woman, she could calmly interfere in the emperor's affairs. As she said herself, even when establishing a prince, the emperor asked for her opinion instead of the officials.
Zhou Liqi used the calmest gesture to perform the nobility and skills belonging to Princess Pingyang. Even if she interferes with the affairs of the court, she is very convincing and will feel that she is right.
3. Conclusion
Let’s look at Li Rong, the eldest princess who holds great power and speaks out in “The Year of the Flower”, and instantly she looks like a child playing cosplay. I couldn't say a few words, so I had to be aggrieved and ask questions with red eyes.
Every time it seems that it is trying to show Li Rong's ability and political foresight, it only has lines and no aura. This was especially obvious when analyzing the problem with his father.
Dressed in red, she looks very conspicuous and noble, but she really shouldn't be too calm. She still asks her father why with red eyes?
The domineering eldest princess is not so easy to play. The eldest princess represents an irreplaceable right. Domineering represents the aura blessed by the identity of the eldest princess and is the embodiment of wisdom.
A role like this still requires a little experience before you can play it well. Zhao Jinmai is relatively young.
