Empresses in the Palace can be called the pinnacle of China's Gongdou Opera, but it is still difficult to surpass it. Let's analyze the reasons in detail:
First, the script has been successfully adapted.
This TV play script is adapted from Wu Xuelan's novel of the same name, and the novel itself is popular on the Internet and has accumulated a lot of popularity. This is the adaptation of the original author Wu Xuelan himself, which retains the essence. The biography of Zhen Huan focuses on restoring history, and the plot conforms to the basic historical facts. It focuses on restoring the details of people's lives in the Qing Dynasty, and explains some historical issues in a logical way, which has been loved by the audience who understand the basic history.
Among them, the role of a good script is self-evident. The plot of this script is very distinctive. The intrigue in it is different from other Gongdou dramas. Most of them are deep and perfect, the characters speak skillfully, and the plot is logically connected from top to bottom, with almost no nonsense. Let the audience watch it very enjoyable, and can't help cheering for the ingenious conception of the plot!
second, the TV series is well-made.
It is not enough for a TV series to have a good book, but it also needs careful production, including actors, filming, props and so on. Especially in this drama, the actors and props are particularly prominent.
1. The characterization of the actor is very successful.
In Empresses in the Palace, there are more than 1 famous characters with surnames, and the characterization of many characters is quite successful, with no obvious performance. Take a few protagonists for example!
Sun Li plays Zhen Xuan's official daughter, who is well-educated, talented, wise and beautiful. Such a person is careful and confident, full of illusions about pure love, too knowledgeable and principled, and not good at seeking perfection. Although Zhen Xuan finally gained great power, he lost his favorite.
An Lingrong was born in a humble and small family, and it is inevitable that he changed from timid to vicious and suspicious. She entered the palace not for love like Zhen Xuan, but simply to change her own destiny and the destiny of the whole family. She used means to persecute others and compete for favor, just to get more rights in the upper position. The queen used her involuntary An Lingrong, and the end was already doomed.
Rulu's acting skills as Hua Fei are too explosive. She is my favorite character. She is domineering, aggressive and decisive, but at heart she is a little woman, considerate and gentle to her beloved emperor. This kind of person is a man's favorite. He has a strong personality and will not be bullied. His heart is gentle and his husband loves him at home. It is even more remarkable to grow up in a variety of manners and stand out from the crowd. Her tragedy is only because of her family background.
Of course, other protagonists are equally wonderful, so I won't analyze them one by one here.
2. Props are exquisite in workmanship.
There are many kinds of props for the characters in the play, but they are basically exquisite and excellent in workmanship. Especially, the costumes of the characters are exquisite and amazing in workmanship, and some headdresses and jewelry are very realistic, with no obvious sense of rudeness. Ruyi\'s Royal Love in the Palace and Story of Yanxi Palace can't do this. If you compare them with Empresses in the Palace, you will find that there is more than one and a half star difference in costumes and props.
Of course, in addition to the actors and props, the music in the play is also brilliant. As the music director of the play, there is no doubt about the level of teacher Liu Huan, and the singing skill of the late singer Bella is also commendable. It is because of the concerted efforts of so many departments that Qi Xin has created this masterpiece of Gongdou Opera.
third, the personal charm of director Zheng Xiaolong.
People who often watch TV plays know that the director is the core and soul of a TV play, and the quality of a TV play is inseparable from the director's directing style and control ability.
Zheng Xiaolong comes from a military family. He has been a soldier for many years. He is strong, patient, kind and sincere, and has a moderate temperament. He has a good relationship with the crew. I am very good at grasping the plot at work, and the character setting is very accurate. In this increasingly impetuous entertainment circle, he is one of the few directors who can calm down and engage in works. He has produced many hit dramas such as Desire, Editorial Story, Golden Wedding, Empresses in the Palace, Red Sorghum and legend of miyue. His wife, Wang Xiaoping, is his companion in life and career. She has worked as a screenwriter in many TV dramas in Zheng Xiaolong, including Empresses in the Palace and legend of miyue. With such a craftsman spirit, the director worked hard, and Empresses in the Palace's success was expected.
