"Dream Back" Li Landi was ridiculed for being fat, how did Chinese film and television dramas gradually look thin

文/马庆云

The TV series "Menghui" has been broadcast on the genuine video platform. As I said in my drama review article yesterday, this TV series is of poor quality and will not become a hit TV series. However, the hot spot triggered by the play today turned out to be Li Randi's figure, and for a while, Li Randi's sturdy voice continued.

It turns out that in this TV series, Li Randi’s costume part is indeed a bit fatter. Especially Li Randi's "big face plate" seems to aggravate this "fatness." Some fans even ridiculed that Li Randi is the TV series version of Jia Ling, suggesting that Li Randi should switch to a comedian and so on. However, is the actor's fault really the actor's fault?

Our TV series in recent years like to find some thin girls to star in, such actresses will show a certain degree of beauty in the shots. And so far, among the female stars who are really hot, there are basically no types other than slim. Actors like Jia Ling can only appear as "harlequins" in the comedy industry. And many of our non-slim actresses can only serve as clowns in various film and television dramas.

Earlier, Chen Yanxi encountered a group of ridicules in "The Legend of Condor Heroes" because she was slightly fat and showed a "bun face". Netizens have a low tolerance for the fact that actresses are slightly fatter, which is most likely to trigger group ridicule. This time, Li Randi had the same experience as Chen Yanxi's "The Legend of Condor Heroes" in "Menghui".

For the so-called obesity in the work, it is largely caused by the lens. The fat actresses in the scenes are all normal weights in the real scenes. The slim figures in those shots are all too thin in real life. The lens zoomed in on the actor's big face plate. Of course, this low tolerance of netizens is also related to the changes in our aesthetic trends in recent years.

In 1979, when Chen Chong, Liu Xiaoqing, Tang Guoqiang and others filmed the movie "Little Flower", the actresses were all big-faced dishes. The stills at that time can illustrate some problems. Both Chen Chong and Liu Xiaoqing followed the principle of "flesh on the face" and wanted to present a feeling of fullness to movie fans. This healthy and energetic heroine is also the principle followed by all film and television dramas before "Little Flower".

In 1987, in "Furong Town" directed by Xie Jin, even if the heroine Hu Yuyin is a figure on the line of poverty, Liu Xiaoqing still presents it Out of the state of "heavenly court, full and full circle". In this movie, the heroine still has an instant sense of sight. At that time, Liu Xiaoqing was also the goddess of the whole people, and her stills represented the aesthetic trends of the time. Obviously, at that time, we still liked this "flesh" type.

However, in the 1987 version of the TV series "A Dream of Red Mansions", the signs of thinning have already appeared. The actor Chen Xiaoxu still has meat in the early content of "Dream of Red Mansions", but due to the needs of the plot, the follow-up gradually loses weight. In the TV series "Dream of Red Mansions", Chen Xiaoxu also showed a state of becoming thinner. At this time, sister Lin, the beauty and thinness in the lens began to become an aesthetic fashion pursued by the Chinese.

In the 1998 "Han Zhu Ge", Zhao Wei, Lin Xinru and Fan Bingbing began to become thinner. However, judging from the stills at the time, the three heroines still maintained the baby fat state. Neither Zhao Wei nor Fan Bingbing back then can be called thin. Especially for Fan Bingbing, the flesh on his face is clearly visible.Obviously, the audience at the time still used these three actresses as their aesthetic standards, and they did not form a "slim" aesthetic tendency.

and after entering the new millennium, the mainland film and television drama market and Hong Kong, China, Taiwan’s film and television market have more in-depth cooperation, Hong Kong drama Hong Kong film The slim style in it has also begun to slowly infect us. Hong Kong dramas and Hong Kong films "Shen Shou" have already existed. For example, as early as 1981, in the movie "The Elder" starring Hui Yinghong, it was in a petite and pleasant state. With this image, Hui Yinghong won the best actress of the first Hong Kong Film Awards. As early as that year, Hong Kong films began to look for greater beauty in lens language. The mainland's film and television dramas began to look for this kind of beauty after the new millennium.

is the movie version of "Mobile" released in 2003. Fan Bingbing's slim state at the time was no longer the baby fat of the Golden Lock era. On the contrary, this very capable female role in the workplace has no fat on her body, and has changed from a fat baby face to an awl face. For many years thereafter, Fan Bingbing's appearance was the aesthetic standard of Chinese beauty at that time.

Later, with the advent of China's big screen era, theatrical movies began to develop rapidly. It took us only a few years to achieve a leap from billions to over 60 billion at the box office. At the same time, the big screens demand more the looks of actors, and our actresses have officially entered the era of watching faces. A large number of popular female stars such as Tang Yan and Yang Ying have entered a state where the weight is not only less than a hundred, and even less than ninety catties. These beauties provide real lens beauties for Chinese film and television dramas.

The force of female celebrities has also directly caused our current aesthetic orientation to become thinner. The thinner and more beautiful become fashionable, even one kind distortion. At the same time, our audiences no longer tolerate the aesthetic style of "Heavenly Court, Full and Round Pavilion" in Chinese film and television dramas. She began to ridicule and ridicule the fat actress roles like Chen Yanxi and Li Randi.

Actually, our aesthetic of slimness began with Chen Xiaoxu in "A Dream of Red Mansions", but it really became a popular trend after the new millennium. In recent years, it has developed a bit of abnormal aesthetics, requiring extreme thinness, which has caused actresses in reality to be unsightly. Actresses like Li Randi who are "just right" in reality have already become the object of ridicule in the scene. Is this kind of extreme thinness really desirable?
