Talking about Mi Yue and Zhen Xuan.

? Following the screening of Zheng Xiaolong's Kung Fu drama "The Queen of the Palace" on 201/kloc-0, The Legend of Mi Yue, which was released on 20 15, earned enough attention all the way before its release, attracting the expectations of countless fans. I'm a big fan of yours, too. Since I saw the Queen of the Palace, other historical palace dramas have been out of my sight. I have to watch the Queen of the Palace several times. The appearance of "The Legend of Mi Yue" will inevitably be compared with the concubines in the palace from the beginning. There is a lot to say about content, costumes, plots, characters and history.

Part 1: history

There is no doubt that the screen of The Legend of Mi Yue has also given the whole people an intuitive knowledge of the history of the Warring States and Qin. The main characters in The Legend of Mi Yue have their true historical archetypes, so this drama is not only a harem palace drama, but also a historical drama. Therefore, many slots in The Legend of Mi Yue revolve around whether the characters conform to history. For example, Mi Yue's first love, Spring Shen Jun Huang Xie, is about 20 years younger than Mi Yue in history. Obviously, in order to realize the audience's "Mary Su" plot, TV dramas do not hesitate to borrow historical figures to tamper with the plot and "whitewash" the heroine. ? Zhen Xuan also experienced at least three men in her life, and was accused of fabricating history, because the background set by the story overhead history, although she also attracted female audience through the plot of "Mary Su".

In the two plays, the director's overall grasp of different historical periods is relatively accurate. On the surface, the harem of the Qing Dynasty was harmonious, but secretly it was undercurrent and shallow reefs. What's more, the emperor in the power center is also a member of the palace struggle, so the empresses in the palace feel more depressed and cramped as a whole, which is a claustrophobic atmosphere. This is because, before entering the customs, Manchu was revered in the Qing Dynasty. As a foreigner with a small population, it is necessary to rule the Han nationality with a large population by special means. Therefore, the Qing dynasty implemented a very harsh literary prison to imprison the people's thoughts and make the subjects submit to the rulers as soon as possible. Therefore, Zhen Xuan's life is Gong Dou's life, that is, among a group of women, living in calculation and being calculated. Besides, there's nothing we can do. Even if I was abandoned by the emperor, I couldn't go outside the palace immediately with the prince of 17 years old, because "the world is too big for kings", and I couldn't get away unless I faked my death, but I didn't succeed in the end.

During the Warring States period, seven countries competed for hegemony and a hundred schools of thought contended. Countries are scrambling to appoint talents to seize territory. To put it bluntly, the world is a market-oriented competition. Whoever has the ability to win the territory will win. At this time, there is a "world thinking" in everyone's mind. If this country fails, I will go to another country. Although it's bitter, I can always get through it. Therefore, in The Legend of Mi Yue, Mi Yue's promotion seems to be the result of being shelved step by step, which is not what she really wants. As a dowry, she wanted to meet Huang Xie and run away. Later, she thought Huang Xie was dead and was going to leave Qin Gong. However, in order to help Mishu consolidate her position, she stayed. In order to save her brother Wei Ran, she promised to be a maid. For the sake of Daqin's world, she gave up Huang Xie and returned to the State of Qin. Looking at every step of Mi Yue's road, there are two ways to choose, and it is not a question of life and death, but a question of choosing one's own values.

Part II: The man of the Queen Mother

? Speaking of which, the two plays are synchronized. Mi Yue and Zhen Xuan can be said to be the Empresses who depend on men, and they are all three men. Of these three men, 1 must have loved her for the first time, Wen Chu Shi and Huang Xie; One must know that she is a father and brother, Yongzheng and Qin Huiwen; There is another person she loves deeply, that is Liu Yun and Zhai Li. Although everyone with a discerning eye knows that such a Marisu plot can only happen in TV dramas, I can't help but be moved and sublimated when I watch it.

? Wen Chu Shi didn't get the favor of Zhen Xuan from beginning to end. Although he is a childhood friend, he is the one who has been waiting silently. At first, the emperor regarded her as body double, the pure queen of the Yuan Dynasty. Later, I deepened my deep affection for him on this basis. But when the emperor began to doubt her feelings with the seventeen princes, he began to give up her. To put it bluntly, the emperor only loves himself. And the seventeenth prince, from beginning to end, is a person who loves her like a life. These two men who really love her have no good end under the imperial power. This also makes Zhen Xuan's fate seem particularly bleak, like those women who have nowhere to escape in Zhang Ailing's novels, who are delicate birds on the screen until they die.

? In The Legend of Mi Yue, the characteristics of these three people are very distinct. Huang Xie is a modest gentleman, and his feelings with Mi Yue are childhood friends. The King of Qin was a wise monarch who inspired Mi Yue's political talents. Yiqu is the king of grassland, free and unrestrained. These three people are deeply in love with Mi Yue. They all have their own characteristics, strengths and weaknesses, and they can compete fairly. So although these three men all appeared in Mi Yue's life, she didn't have too many entanglements, but had different stories with them at different stages.

Mi Yue is a woman who has taken control of her own destiny. She fled to Qin for Huang Xie and wanted to be his woman before she got married. She mistakenly thought that after Huang Xie's death, she knew that her other half had gone with him. And by default, she became the woman of the king of Qin, and finally she gradually put it down. There is nothing to say about Huang Xie. When she met Huang Xie again and planned to elope with him, the care of the King of Qin as a father and brother and the fact that she was pregnant finally made her give up this decision. When I saw Huang Xie again, she calmly told Huang Xie about her emotional experience. She said: Before I met the King of Qin, I only knew the feelings of my children, and it was crystal clear. After knowing the king of Qin, I realized that the world still has a feeling of high shores and deep valleys. Mi Yue is always a free man emotionally. Even under the pressure of reality, she kept her emotional freedom to the maximum extent. It is this understanding and persistence of feelings that made the king of Qin sleep with her in separate beds without forcing her, and also made Huang Xie recognize the feelings of the king of Qin for her as a father and a brother, which made Yi Qu more willing to die and let her be her own woman.

Part III: Sex that you all care about.

Let's talk about the sex of concubines in the palace. As I said before, the Qing palace is deep and conservative, which is also reflected in many TV dramas. For example, when Zhen Xuan first saw the report 17, she was found playing with water. She quickly covered her feet with clothes. For example, Su Peisheng and Cui Jinxi were caught by the queen, and it took the emperor some time to get rid of them. For example, after Shen Meizhuang died of the emperor's heart, he fell in love with Wen, and the only intimate contact took place under the influence of medicinal liquor. All these plots show that the Qing Palace is really a very depressing place.

? As for Mi Yue's private life, it is not only a concentrated place, but also refreshes our contemporary sexual concept. Personally, I was scared by the truth of history. I saw a view on the Internet that Qin belonged to the northwest and was deeply influenced by Hu Feng. In addition, I also want to thank the achievements of Shang Yang's political reform, because Shang Yang's political reform was not only strict in law, but also greatly weakened the people's moral sense. The country is strong and the people are weak, emphasizing agriculture, discouraging business and curbing intellectuals. In the end, it became an A Qin country that only farmed and fought, but laughed at poverty instead of prostitution. In the play, not only Mi Yue, but also others have this unconventional feeling. For example, I have a good impression on Su Qin. Yong Rui is Mrs. Wen's pillow person, while Li only says that Iraq is a "small section". However, since the design killed the Iraqi Qujun, I have raised a lot of Toy Boy, which shows that the whole Warring States period is so primitive and open.

? I think the drama directed by Zheng Xiaolong is quite logical in characterization. He is good at designing multi-layer bedding, and gradually enriches the characters in the event through the gradual change of clothing, makeup, language and expression. When the last big event happens, everything will feel natural.
