New Red Chamber: Can Costumes Comply With The Background Of The Original Era?

I have been puzzled about the costume of the dream of Red Mansions.

To say a few more words, the earliest Shaoxing opera "a dream of Red Mansions" is the role of Daiyu, the wife of Mr. Sun Daolin, a famous performing artist, Wang Wenjuan. The play is quite good, though short, but the characters' tragic feelings are fully expressed.

Maybe it is influenced by Shaoxing opera. I think the costume of the original TV drama is a certain degree of adhering to the style of Opera (including character make-up, clothing, modeling, props, etc.), but the beauty of the costume is still a bit old-fashioned, outdated, unchanging, and new, and even less in line with the aesthetic taste of modern people.

From the new "dream of Red Mansions" character makeup photos, facial make-up is indeed unacceptable, it can be said to be like a ghost, too ugly to play the audience in the minds of the beautiful image of the people!

Ordinarily, TV plays should be closer to nature and natural makeup.

I think the costumes of the original TV series are more consistent with people's hearts.

So the new "red" character facial make-up must be changed!

Moreover, the whole shape of the new red figure is really not real. It's really not true. Especially the hair and ornaments on Dai Yu's head are all costume.

It really doesn't look good.

If the preparations for the filming are not enough, they will be postponed until they are ready for further filming.

Just like this, it's really a waste of money. I'm sorry, but the audience is entirely a director.

Instead of doing that, it's better to remake as it is.

I would suggest a little history if the comparison of the new plays is acceptable.

As a matter of fact, neither the Shaoxing opera, the original drama or the character modeling of the new play dream of Red Mansions does not conform to the historical personage archetype.

Although the dream of Red Mansions is a novel, the specific historical time background is not very clear, but according to most red scholars' opinions, it happened in the Kangxi and Qianlong times of the Qing Dynasty, so the costumes of the new dream of Red Mansions may be designed according to the costumes of the Han people in the Manchu Dynasty.

If the official is probably different from the Manchu.

Actually, I don't like the costume in the Qing Dynasty. Many people may not like it or look good, but it can reproduce the original prototype of the character more truly, and it can make the audience look a little bit different from the original drama and have a little freshness.

In fact, it is a correct return to character modeling.

There are many plays in the Qing Dynasty, which basically covered all periods of the Qing Dynasty. The people have already highly recognized these figures in the Qing Dynasty.

I said that the costume of the dream of Red Mansion in the new TV series is the best proposition according to the costume design of the Qing Dynasty. It will have the new meaning and artistic effect of rock breaking.
