" Headless East Palace " is a very simple folklore told by TVB.
The story is very beautiful, starting from the small village to the palace compound, and then to the country to fight.
Incorporated into the royal struggle, external and internal beauty, good and evil, family friendship and love, it is full of people's wits.
Myths and superstitions also run through it. First, the maoshan skills such as changing the face, and then the gods rescued it, even if the head was cut off, it was still resurrected in place.
uses fantasy, twists and turns, bizarre and other suspense, and uses unique innovative special effects to construct the plot relationship between characters, which is full of novelty.
Of course, in the brilliant era of TVB when there are no shortage of classic dramas, this drama is nothing.
The so-called "head-changing", "civet cat for prince", "Our Lady of Persecution and Resurrection" and other plots are still a little bit bloody and nonsensical.
Goodness must be incredible blind stupidity, and poor ugliness must be hopelessly sinister and evil.
But after many years of precipitation, I will watch it again. It is precisely because of these elements that the uniqueness of "The Headless East Palace" is formed. In fact, this is also a "drama".
"The Headless East Palace", the structure is OK, the brain is quite big, and the actors perform well.
Thirty episodes, neither jumping nor lengthy, tell the story's cause and effect, the character background of the characters, and the changes in the psychological state of the relationship between people.
Lingyun flooding kindness,Chu Chu's vanity and treacherousness, the emperor's repeated emotions, Xiao Tao's greedy viciousness, the contradictory moods of the two princes, Feng Leren waited deeply, the courtier's loyalty and so on.
The growing backgrounds and special circumstances of these people of all kinds determine their different personalities and behaviors. They are not obtrusive or inexplicable.
basically won't let the audience send out unthinkable sighs such as "How is it possible?" "It's impossible!"
The actors can also be described as talented actors.
The two heroines are of equal origin, but the two different characters who are given extreme personalities have obvious differences at the very beginning.
But because after experiencing the "face change", when Chuchu Sparrow became a phoenix and entered the palace as an imperial concubine, Ling Yun, who was transferred and wronged, became a prisoner.
Before and after the face change, the two women have very different personalities, completely different, free conversion of good and evil, because the roles are too exciting, and the switching does not have a sense of disharmony, so that we all mistakenly think that they are both Really changed his face.
The contrast between the two characters is perfectly presented in front of the screen. From the controversial dialogue between Ling Yun and Chu Chu in the prison, it is obvious that the plot setting and the plot reversal line have been combined.
, especially Chen Miaoying , with natural and profound acting skills to support the core of the reversal of the two corners of the whole drama, discussing some philosophies that contrast with each other on the outside and inside, it can be regarded as the pioneering classic of TVB psychodrama.
The setting of the two heroines vividly interprets the sincerity and good and evil of the times.
Compared with big heroines, with double heroines, three heroines, and even four heroines, TVB can actually come in very early on.
And the emperor's heart is different, the later period of mediocrity, slander, and at the mercy of others, "If something happens, there is nothing wrong with the summer and spring", these typical men's weaknesses, Zhang Zhaohui also performed very well.
TVB has not filmed this kind of fantasy plot,As early as in the "Liao Zhai" series, the "head changing" scene opened the audience's eyes.
But this is the first time we have seen this kind of "floating head" in "Headless East Palace".
Combined with the production of special effects, Ling Yun's head is separated from his body, but he does not show an overly scary interface. Instead, he creates a fairy-like effect under his neck that allows the audience to adapt.
For playing special effects, TVB is better.
High-quality plot, brilliant special effects, now it seems hard to believe that "The Headless Palace" turned out to be a TV series produced nearly 20 years ago.
These effects have successfully convinced the audience that they even yearn for such technology in reality.
Even aside from special effects, looking back at the plot is unexpected.
Usually a TV series focuses on the aura of the protagonist. In order to pursue the "high" or "coolness" of the character, the protagonist is often portrayed very well, so that the protagonist's growth path is smooth and easy to deal with the villain.
But "The Headless East Palace" did not.
It emphasizes the goodness of the protagonist and the evil of the villain, which is distinct in image.
is not a rigid routine, but between two extreme contrasting personalities, constantly switching the exciting plot, let the audience see a "new" story.
When I was young, I thought this story was too sad and sad. Where is the positive energy?
Ling Yun, diligent, sincere, honest and kind-hearted, in addition to the popular audience not paying for his life, he has not done any bad things in his life, but suffered endless suffering, good people have no rewards.
Chu Chu, deceived and deceived, faked benevolence, ignorant of learning, but fate like Xiaoqiang, there is nothing hard in his life, he has enjoyed all the glory and wealth, even if he died, he would die clean and neat.
Everyone says that mutuality is born from the heart, and kindness makes you beautiful.
But in the eyes of many ordinary people,The bladder is still glamorous.
This makes so many ordinary women beat their chests and feet, and use all kinds of means to hope to get a moving beauty.
Who cares about the rugged road in the middle, who cares whether the process is bloody, and with a beautiful appearance, life seems to be half complete.
If there is no salt in your appearance, let alone love, I am afraid that you will not even have the desire to talk about it.
has to feel sad about this.
Regarding internal and external discussions, the screenwriter’s answer to this is: a good appearance is like dressing up, which makes people a lot more convenient, but after all, the way is to go by yourself.
But I think it’s hard to look back at the wasted time when people have lived a lifetime, and the heroine’s justice was not absent, but she was still cruelly late to the last episode.
Kindness, as the natural compassion and empathy for people and things, should be built on the basis of not hurting oneself.
To treat the villain, you don't have to be soft-hearted, but you have to hit seven inches, and don't give your opponent any chance to turn over.
Only in this way can people feel pain, and never dared to cross the boundary again.
Kindness, excessive kindness, is a poison that harms others and yourself, and is useless.
Ling Yun's kindness in the play is almost stupid, and it is even more useless in the context of the present.
However, when I look back, I still feel nonsense where I used to feel nonsense, but I have a different perception and experience.
Ling Yun's ups and downs in the life of the bad guy who has been wronged, her kindness is really precious, touching and admiring.
Is there really such a kind and strong woman in the world?
I used to think that the emperor didn't love Lingyun at all, but when I looked at it later, I saw that the emperor really loved Lingyun.
It is just that the emperor loves the handsome and virtuous Ling Yun, and his later love for Jin Shishi actually brought his fantasy to Ling Yun.
From the perspective of secular utilitarian values, even if Chu Chu did all the bad things, his life was worthwhile.
After changing his face, he enjoyed all the glory and wealth. He had never suffered. Basically, "Wind to wind and rain to rain". In the end, his son became a prince and died very lightly.
TVB actually has no shortage of mythological works, and the classification of people, gods and ghosts is clear.
As early as the 1980s and 1990s, mythological dramas have been brought into the world of drama by TVB. Even with the special effects of 50 cents, they can still make the audience feel refreshed.
But the previous mythological dramas are general, the arrangement of the fairy dramas is in accordance with common sense, and the depiction of people, immortals and ghosts is particularly clear.
And this drama does not continue the traditional pattern of mythological dramas, but breaks through the rules of mythological themes and adopts a "hybrid mode."
Throughout the story, the image of the so-called fairy is not clearly outlined, but instead uses a metaphor to explore the right and wrong of the story.
Although there are no mythological characters on stage, the audience can only hear the voice of a certain mythological character. This is the continuation of the mythological branch and a new breakthrough in mythological themes.
The plot is more polished, and the reversal of routines has become a magic weapon to attract the audience.
In the play, the two heroines have distinct personalities. By "changing faces", diametrically opposite things happened between the two.
The true, the good and the beautiful Ling Yun was arrested and imprisoned, and the evil Chu Chu became the imperial concubine.
But even if you change your face, people who are beautiful and poisonous are ugly. Similarly, people who are ugly and kind are more pleasing to the eye.
TVB, as always, promotes the idea that good always overcomes evil. The kind people will eventually return, not not, but the time is not up.
The treacherous people are occasionally depressed, and the good people are occasionally beautiful. The ups and downs of the plot attract the audience's attention, but also retain the audience's heart.
adopts the setting of "good people have good rewards, bad people have bad rewards".
It focuses on "love" as the focus of the plot,The two characters of truth, goodness and beauty and evil are portrayed incisively and vividly.
Although old-fashioned, but a drama can inspire people, and can be tasted slowly over time, it is worthy of a good drama.
Like countless TVB dramas, this drama also affects my values. Looking back, I am still moved and believe in the justice and kindness it conveys.
Although every character in the play is a facialized , the audience can quickly distinguish which character is good or bad, but the ups and downs of the character's fate are very reasonable and dramatic.
does not have a "one road to the end" plot line, which is a major feature of it.
Ling Yun, plagued by disasters, but able to get his wish in the middle of the plot, the subsequent settings make waves again; Chu and Chu once became rich and rich, and there were wonderful moments of being imprisoned.
performs multiple reversals on the theme plot to achieve the high-powered appeal of the plot.
The plot also delicately shows some very subtle things in human nature, such as the emperor's hesitation between the inner and outer appearance, such as the choice between the birth and the nurturing of the Prince Dan.
These, whether we are right or wrong, at least, are the real emotions that exist objectively in people's hearts, and they can easily resonate with the audience.
There were only a few ministers in the Song Dynasty imperial palace, the emperor had only a favorite concubine Chu Chu, and the queen was accompanied by only a little court lady...
In such a simple setting, these powerful actors just relied on being excellent. Professional and superb acting skills scored high scores.
is just like the core idea conveyed by this drama-appearance can help you open doors, but if you want to go for a long time and stable, you need strong connotation support.
"face changing" is just a plot gimmick, "truth, goodness and beauty" and "fake evil and ugliness" are the core of the whole drama.
If the eyes can distinguish good from bad,How good, there will be no battle between beauty and virtue in the play.
The drama "The Headless East Palace", I believe that everyone will have their own thinking and different feelings when watching it at different times.
