8 truly classical beauties, with a slightly less elegant temperament in modern clothes, but they are stunning when they put on ancient clothes.

As we all know, costume dramas have always been popular in the entertainment industry. Every year, countless production companies and actors dream of rising to the sky through costume dramas.

But the problem is that serious costume dramas have extremely high requirements for the appearance of actors. In many cases, actors cannot become popular just by winning them.

Take the recent "Eternal Jue Chen" for example. The show has almost ended and the audience has not seen the "peerless appearance" and "eternal youth" described in the original work. On the contrary, the whole show has ended. What is unforgettable is the heroine's low appearance, which is suppressed by the female supporting characters at every turn.

There are also close-ups of Li Landi’s Qing Dynasty drama that made a lot of noise. With all due respect to Strawberry, people with thick bodies and short necks are really not suitable for filming costume dramas.

Or maybe it’s the new trend of middle-aged actors who have emerged in recent years to act young. Seeing that even the thick filters that come with ancient idols can’t cover their wrinkles, what about the producers? How can we make the audience believe that this is a pair of childhood sweethearts who are only in their teens?

Needless to say, it’s time for the entertainment industry to stop using such weird casting standards.

So, what kind of appearance can be called a true classical beauty?

Personally, I think the most typical example is He Qing.

Throw away the era filter and just look at He Qing’s modern photos. Although the person is beautiful, she is really not stunning at first sight. In addition, the clothes in that era were relatively simple, and it was normal to take photos of the whole body in such a crude way that it was hard to look at it.

The costumes are different, especially He Qing’s misty eyes. Whenever the camera shows a close-up, the audience can’t help but be immersed in that kind of sad and lingering emotion. She is the most popular in the entertainment industry. The actor who best interprets these four words "Jian Ruoqiu".

At the same time, He Qing's face shape is also very good. The overall appearance gives people a majestic and pitiful feeling, which is especially suitable for playing the role of a "rich lady".

What impressed me most was her appearance in the movie version of "A Dream of Red Mansions". Her slender willow-leaf eyebrows and earth-colored eye makeup made her full of femininity. Coupled with the exquisite flower pattern and flying bun, she was really The romantic and graceful Qin Keqing in the book is moved to the big screen, making people hooked at just one glance.

In addition, the charming and lively Lian Lian in "Journey to the West", the talented and charming Li Shishi in "Water Margin", the fairy-like Xiao Qiao in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms"... .As the only actress who has played the four major classics as well as the roles of great beauties such as Zhou Ehuang and Bao Xiruo, He Qing can be regarded as a landmark figure in domestic costume dramas in the early years.

Chen Hong is similar to He Qing. They are both modern and beautiful, but they don’t have the uniqueness to catch the audience’s attention with their high spirits.

Looking back at Chen Hong's ancient costumes, even a simple hairstyle can easily give people a sense of grace and luxury. Even today when "Princess of the Tang Dynasty" is mentioned, the first reaction of many viewers is still Her peace princess.

The most amazing thing is that this kind of beauty is an overwhelming victory. Even if the opponent is Zhou Xun, who is full of aura at that time, he cannot have any substantial impact on the appearance of Chen Hong who has just given birth to a baby. threaten.

Maybe this is the legendary Diao Chan’s beauty like a closed moon. No wonder director Wang Fulin took a fancy to Chen Hong for her role in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" at a glance.

Another Qiong Yao girl, Wang Yan, is even worse than these two. She can only be described as a pretty little beauty with a pleasant face in modern clothes. Even according to today's standards of "I can't wait to enlarge the facial features ten times to criticize", If Wang Yan debuted twenty years later, she would be ridiculed as "mediocre among female stars."

However, when she puts on ancient costume, even though it is a very simple look, she can still be full of aura as soon as she appears, even if she plays the role of a big beauty, it is not inconsistent.

When she cried, it was even worse. It made people feel that the phrase "pear blossoms with rain" was tailor-made for her, and she wished she could rush into the screen to wipe away her tears.

The most rare thing is that Wang Yan’s classical beauty is not only applicable to the traditional costumes above, but also elements such as plastic leaves and copper coin heads that have been criticized have become her personal characteristics.

It is a pity that Wang Yan accepted "Return of the Pearl 3" as a favor and did not go to play "The Legend of the Heaven and the Dragon Sword" with Su Youpeng. Otherwise, if the Gao Yuanyuan Zhou Zhiruo was replaced by Wang Yan, who is both civil and military, there should be some dramas with Su Youpeng. Unique style.

Liu Shishi was born in Beijing Dance Theater like Wang Yan, but compared to Wang Yan, who is extremely talented, Liu Shishi's lines are indeed weak, and her reputation in several modern dramas is not very good.

But when it comes to costume dramas, Liu Shishi's advantages of harmonious facial features and elegant demeanor are immediately apparent. No matter what style she looks at, she is very classical and intellectual.

Especially a melancholic character like Ruoxi is particularly suitable for Liu Shishi, who has a quiet temperament. Sometimes she doesn’t even need to say any lines, and you can feel the character’s emotional ups and downs just by looking at the screenshots.

In addition, Liu Shishi is good at crying, and she can always firmly convey the retro broken beauty when the plot reaches its highest point. It makes people sad but at the same time, they can't help but admire her facial control ability. high.

In terms of styling, my favorite is Nightshade with coiled hair. Not only does the design of the jeweled front and back headband emphasize the purity of the character, but even the legendary fairy skirt with wide sleeves is so elegant and smart. , there is a kind of nobility that other actors cannot imitate.

Shen Aojun is exactly the opposite of the above examples. She is full of femininity with her thick face. The problem is that her temperament is not fashionable enough. It is hard to believe that Tong Zhi in "Golden Wedding" would be willing to abandon Wenli, who is as beautiful as a flower ( Jiang Wenli), and chose Li Tianjiao, played by her.

Looking back at Shen Aojun's style in "The Miracle Doctor Xilaile", the hairstylist first used a wig bag to improve the proportions of the actor's skull, and then specially picked out two strands of broken hair to cover his forehead and reduce his age, which instantly made him look younger. The rustic feel of modern clothing is processed into a mature lady's charm that is hard to buy.

On the other hand, Sai Xishi’s eye makeup in the early stage was also very particular, in order to maximize the emphasis on the character’s tenderness and charming eyes through the design of burgundy eye makeup.

Princess Gaoyang can be regarded as an enhanced version of Sai Xishi to a certain extent, which reduces the character's original delicate feeling and more expresses the original beauty of the character's inner sexiness and desire.

A typical scene is the scene where Princess Gaoyang expresses her feelings to Bian Ji in the thatched house. The director really captured Shen Aojun's passionate beauty with a hint of rebelliousness. Not to mention the argument, Liu Xiahui would also be unable to resist.

Xiao Li Lin is even more amazing. If it weren’t for reading the encyclopedia before, Strawberry would not have discovered that she is the villain Chen Yu in the ethics drama "True Love: Millions of Bride".

I remember her appearance in "Marrying the Right Man in the Wrong Sedan". She wore a pink dress with a cute headband of the same color, and the small details of bowing her head and wiping away tears showed the helplessness and sadness of the daughter to be married. To the fullest.

Then to the wedding look later, the girlishness before has faded away, the red eye makeup is charming, and the plum-colored lipstick also adds a touch of mature woman style to Du Bingyan. People can't help but sigh at the makeup artist. The uncanny workmanship.

Speaking of which, this drama also has a lot of experience in matching Zhengfeng’s hairpin.

For example, when Du Bingyan disguised herself as an ordinary woman to meet her husband, Yang Shuyun just chose a simple hairstyle for her:

But when the plot progresses to the family fun part of the finale At this time, she automatically changed into a more formal and gorgeous hairpin and ring combination, which made people know at a glance that she was the wife of a wealthy family:

Of course, in addition to the above-mentioned problems caused by her own conditions, Appearance has changed, and there are also classical beauties like Huo Siyan and Hao Lei in the entertainment industry who have simply turned to the "wrong" type.

Especially Huo Siyan, who acted in several costume dramas back then and was so popular, she may not be able to surpass Dong Jie of the same year if she persists. Unexpectedly, she suddenly began to transform into a sexy girl, which immediately stalled her flourishing career.

When Ming Ming was young and played a succubus with light makeup, she was as fresh and refined as a fairy descending from heaven. Even in "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio" where there are so many beauties, she was so eye-catching.

There is also "Seven Fairies of Joy". Although it is now the master of the show with the help of childhood filters, at the time this show was sprayed by the media to a pulp. However, even so, no one would deny Huo Siyan's appearance in the press release.

Not to mention "The Young Emperor", the script and styling are both top-notch. Huo Siyan's Dong Efei always has a delicate feeling that I feel pity for, which is a beauty that is different from the Shu Chang version.

In comparison, Hao Lei’s career is much stronger.

Having only occasionally come across her previous works, Strawberry couldn't help but regret that the beauty moved to the film industry too early and wasted her natural classical charm.

Take "Fireworks in March" as an example. Instead of the extremely crazy state in "The Young Emperor", Hao Lei plays a concubine who is forced to be buried in this drama. She is dressed from head to toe. There is a tenderness like a delicate flower that is easy to break.

In order to match this setting, the makeup artist first designed Hao Lei’s eyebrows into a slender and smooth willow leaf shape at the back end, and then added full-cover eyeliner to the eye makeup, so that every time When the camera shows the pair of autumn-cut eyes, it immediately reminds people of the saying in the ancient poem, "Water is like the waves in the eyes, and the mountains are like the peaks of the eyebrows." If you are not careful, you will fall into the gentle trap of beauty.

In addition, Hao Lei’s lip shape is also unique. In real life, it is really rare to see this combination of facial features that makes the lips thinner when she smiles. It just adds a touch of charm to the girl in front of her. beautiful.

In summary, as Yang Mingna said, costumes in ancient times actually have higher requirements for actors’ appearance. Just sticking on the headgear has blocked many people with substandard face shapes.

In addition, there are very few good scripts in recent years. If the actors cannot even guarantee their basic appearance and acting skills, then what is left to pursue in costume dramas?

I hope that in the future everyone in the entertainment industry will act according to their ability and don’t rush into filming any subject matter that is likely to be popular.

At the very least, please ask these actors before taking on costume dramas, first ask themselves whether they can achieve "the costumes are far more elegant than modern costumes", and then carefully decide on the next step.

Otherwise, the result will most likely be like the ones at the beginning. Either they will be overpowered by a bunch of female supporting actors, or they will end up with only a few out-of-the-circle emoticons as souvenirs, which will become redundant. A joke in the eyes of others.

If you are not good-looking enough, you still have to act like the most beautiful woman. The result is that you embarrass yourself and torture the audience.

The shriveled and greasy costume look may just be because of using the wrong wig bag.
