Zhou Xun (above) and Charmaine Sheh (below) played the role of Gan Long’s successor in Ruyi’s Royal Love in the Palace and Story of Yanxi Palace respectively.

　　The night before last, Ruyi’s Royal Love in the Palace, which experienced many delays, finally went online. As soon as it started broadcasting, it exploded social networking sites, not only contracted a hot search list, but also frequently screened in the circle of friends. And "Story of Yanxi Palace" also announced "overtime" on the same day. So far, two TV dramas about the same period of history have entered the positive PK. That night, the topics about the plots, people’s settings and actors’ performances of the two TV series were always hot. In Story of Yanxi Palace, Empress Fucha was regarded as the dry dragon of Bai Yueguang, and in Ruyi’s Royal Love in the Palace, she was infatuated with Ruyi. This setting made netizens laugh and say that "TV series can’t be watched continuously". From the production point of view, both works are worthy of praise, and the audience is also different.

　　The roles are different. Who is the Bai Yueguang of Qianlong?

　　"Ruyi’s Royal Love in the Palace" originated from the story that the hair was broken after the West Lake was long and dry. "Biography of the Qing Dynasty Empresses" records that "(Qianlong) 30 years, from the southern tour to Hangzhou, I paid attention to the purpose, then cut my hair, but I didn’t pay attention to the benefits, and then I returned to the capital first". What happened? Such a queen didn’t leave a portrait of her name in the history books, and eventually she could only share a grave with Chunhui’s imperial concubine. Twelve years after her death, people kept mentioning it, but after Qianlong, there was no queen … … Such a mysterious history is left blank, which causes future generations to constantly imagine how it is a ups and downs life. Huang Lan, the producer, said frankly, "Although Ru Yi is a short-lived figure in history, it is precisely because of his short-lived nature that we have room for imagination. The whole story of "Ruyi’s Royal Love in the Palace" and the fate of the characters are still based on respect for history, and there is not much imagination, which is a reasonable fiction. "

　　But what fans who have read the original novel didn’t expect was that in the TV series Ruyi’s Royal Love in the Palace, Ru Yi (formerly known as Qing Ying) was set as a person who wanted to marry, and the setting of "Bai Yueguang" was the original match of Fu Chashi in the TV series Story of Yanxi Palace. "Ruyi’s Royal Love in the Palace" tells the story of the whole process from the love of Wulanala Ruyi and Emperor Qianlong in their childhood to the mutual love, the gradual disappearance of affection and trust, and the breakup of their marriage. Wang Jun, the director of the play, said that "Ruyi’s Royal Love in the Palace" was mixed with the dilemma of human nature.

　　However, it didn’t take long for the story of "Story of Yanxi Palace" and "Empress CP" to be broadcast, and many viewers seemed to be unbearable that "Bai Yueguang" suddenly changed people. Some netizens commented: "After reading" Story of Yanxi Palace "and then watching" Ruyi’s Royal Love in the Palace ",one is the emperor’s Hongli, and the other is the brother’s Hongli; One is the Hongli who loves Fucha Rongyin, and the other is the Hongli who loves Ruyi … … What a play. " Some netizens said: "From the plot trend, Ruyi’s Royal Love in the Palace is the follow-up of Empresses in the Palace. However, in Empresses in the Palace, it is clearly said that May 4th likes Fucha’s family and unwillingly marries Qing Ying. How did he become a childhood friend when he got to Ruyi’s Royal Love in the Palace? "

　　In addition, the palace where Ru Yi lived after entering the palace was Yanxi Palace, which also made netizens very "worried". "If Ru Yi occupied Yanxi Palace, what should Wei Luo do?" Some viewers believe that the two dramas tell the same history, and the broadcast time is so close that it is really easy to "preconceived". "We have portrayed all preconceptions as what we think is original, and we think that Zhen Xuan should be like Sun Li, and Fucha is Bai Yueguang & Hellep of Qin Lan; …”

　　43-year-old Zhou Xun plays the girl’s face value "hard"? Acting is still online.

　　Ruyi’s Royal Love in the Palace, starring Zhou Xun and Wallace Huo, is also Zhou Xun’s first performance in Qing Palace drama. However, Qing Ying and Hong Li, who made their debut, are still teenagers, and this drama sent Zhou Xun’s face value and voice to hot search. Many viewers complained that Zhou Xun’s face was "unconvincing to play a girl", and that "bright clothing accessories and high-definition lenses all revealed the fact that Zhou Xun was over forty". There are also viewers who spit out: "Zhou Xun and Wallace Huo are over 80 years old and still play teenagers."

　　In addition, Zhou Xun’s voice is also on the hot search. In "Ruyi’s Royal Love in the Palace", Zhou Xun used her own original voice instead of dubbing. The iconic voice of smoke, coupled with the "girlish feeling" of hard depression, made the audience feel that "the painting style is wrong" and "her voice is not suitable for girlish style, let alone this costume drama". However, some viewers think: "It’s not those people at last ‘ Royal voice actor ’ The voice is at least very recognizable! "

　　However, fortunately, the sense of contradiction between this role setting and the actor’s age is seriously inconsistent. With the development of the plot and the growth of the characters, it is good to "endure the first two episodes." Moreover, whether it’s crying or forbearing scenes, including playing against Chen Chong, Vivian Wu and other actors, Zhou Xun is adept at it, and "looks very emotional". In the play, Ru Yi is stubborn and difficult to compromise. Especially in the scene of confrontation with Yongzheng, she called the emperor and queen "uncle and aunt", which shows that she attached more importance to family relations than feudal etiquette, and also highlighted her strong and brave character. For Zhou Xun, it is easy to mold such girls.

　　Zhou Xun’s own evaluation of this character is that "although her fate has long been doomed, she chose to be good-oriented in the original fate and stuck to her original heart" and "once in her life, this is the core point in Ruyi’s life".

　　The drama is full of tension, and the audience praises "enjoyable"

　　In the opening story of Ruyi’s Royal Love in the Palace, the most striking thing is that two "last imperial concubines" reunited in the Forbidden City 20 years later. At the beginning, Queen Urnala, played by Chen Chong, confronted Xi Guifei, played by Vivian Wu, with cold words, fighting for a lifetime, and the domineering between coming and going was hard to hide, making the audience shout "enough". "The scenes of the two are full of tension, which makes people recall their roles in The Last Emperor."

　　In the corner of Yongzheng, ZhangFeng yi made a guest appearance, and in just a few shots, he created a wise monarch who was well versed in the art of emperors. For the most valued prince Hongli, Zhu Zhu is nostalgic, the dragon chair is tempted, the truth is educated, and the prince is rewarded, and finally he is firmly controlled. In this two generations of kings’ play, Wallace Huo did not show weakness in the face of the old drama: at first, he was cautious about the emperor, in the middle, he was fond of his father, then he made a rational judgment on gains and losses, and finally, he could not restrain his ambition and joy, fully demonstrating Hongli’s personality.

　　With the development of the plot, Angel, Zhang Junning, Xin Zhilei, Tanya, Hu Ke, Viva and other actresses represented the Qianlong "harem concubines" storm. Angel plays the role of Empress Fucha, but she feels threatened. The sea played by Zhang Junning is often in a blue heart but is bullied; Hui Guifei, played by Tanya, is a bit embarrassed in both talent and appearance; Hu ke’s pure love, gentleness and humility are proud of his son; Xin Zhilei’s Jiaguiren Mianli Tibetan Dao & HELIP; …

　　In terms of production, the two dramas have their own "fans"

　　In terms of production, Story of Yanxi Palace and Ruyi’s Royal Love in the Palace have their own fans. Among them, Story of Yanxi Palace’s "Mo Landi color system" makes many audiences relish, so the bright color of Ruyi’s Royal Love in the Palace’s clothing makes people "not used to it". However, some viewers also complained that there are very few costume shapes in Story of Yanxi Palace, while the costume in Ruyi’s Royal Love in the Palace is "more like a big production".

　　Both plays are produced with great care. Story of Yanxi Palace took five months to prepare in the early stage. Not only did it refer to a large number of historical materials, but the producer Yu Zheng led the team to visit folk artists who made traditional handicrafts in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, and visited many museums, so as to gain an in-depth understanding of the service road at that time.

　　The props, scenery, costumes, makeup and etiquette of different characters in Ruyi’s Royal Love in the Palace strictly follow the principle of balance between realism and freehand brushwork, truth and aestheticism. In the first two episodes, the biggest surprise was the grand display of two important ceremonies: funeral ceremony and enthronement. "Ruyi’s Royal Love in the Palace" refers to the records of the Qing Dynasty, and all the people in the funeral ceremony of the emperor made strict treatment from the details of the salute to the costume modeling. It was the first time that Emperor Qianlong listened to politics on the screen. The filming site "Hall of Supreme Harmony" brought together 976 extras, showing the majestic atmosphere of the emperor’s accession to the throne with uniform actions.

　　As for the etiquette in Ruyi’s Royal Love in the Palace, Zhang Xiaolong, the etiquette designer, said frankly that the etiquette team made some artistic re-creation on the premise of respecting history as much as possible. According to reports, in the preliminary preparation, the main etiquette team spent nearly three months combing and learning etiquette. Among them, not only did he explain the etiquette for the crew, but the crew also invited a number of Qing history experts to train a group of masters in the early stage, leading the starring actors to slowly enter the role, and let the whole crew integrate into the historical atmosphere before starting. In the whole shooting process, the expert consultant of the Palace Museum also provided a lot of help for the artistic creation of Ruyi’s Royal Love in the Palace’s etiquette, "try not to mislead, try to be ceremonial and try to be close to history". The sincerity embodied in these details can be easily captured by the audience.
