Since the release of Chen Kun's Yuhuatian, the appearance of eunuchs in domestic dramas has undergone a qualitative leap!

With the popularity of the annual drama "Qing Ping Le", the storyline and character performances in the drama have also been discussed and speculated by the audience. Due to the release of this drama, netizens once again triggered a heated discussion about the history of the Song Dynasty. Ancient costume historical dramas have their own topics.

However, in this film and television work where the emperor and empress were originally the protagonists, they were completely conquered by two eunuchs, one was Liang Huaiji and the other was Zhang Maoze.

The actor who plays Liang Huaiji’s real name is Bian Cheng. When he heard this name, he thought he was a brother to the dubbing master Bian Jiang. However, the relationship between the two characters at Baidu has proven that they have no relationship with each other. It's just that the names are similar.

If you don’t know it, you will be shocked when you see it. The actor Bian Cheng who plays Huaiji is actually a post-00s generation. He is obviously still a little boy, okay? Recalling the emotional scene between Bian Cheng and Ren Min in the play, I suddenly thought of the miserable Peng Yuchang. Although he is already a grown man, he has never encountered an emotional scene with an actress in his acting career.

Let’s look at Bian Cheng again. At the age of seventeen, he already had his first love show, and it was with Her Royal Highness the Princess!

Bian Cheng is actually not a new actor. A keen-eyed audience can recognize him at a glance. He is the young Luo Di in "Never Let You Down Tathagata, Never Let Me Down", and he is also the star in "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace" Zhong Hailan's son, the fifth elder brother Yongqi. It's just that the little brother and monk back then has grown up and grown into a handsome and handsome boy.

The eunuch Liang Huaiji, played by Bian Cheng, attracted the attention of many viewers as soon as he appeared in the play. He has beautiful features, bright eyes and white teeth, fresh and refined, indifferent and elegant, handsome face, talented and knowledgeable. Multitalented..., no amount of beautiful adjectives can be used too much when applied to Huaiji.

Compared with the unparalleled forbidden love with Her Royal Highness, perhaps Bian Cheng, the actor of Huaiji himself, is the main reason why people feel regret and heartache.

After all, the image of eunuchs has been synonymous with derogatory connotations in film and television works from ancient times to the present. Seeing Liang Huaiji today completely subverts the audience's definition of traditional aesthetics.

One glance means a lifetime, which probably describes the feeling of seeing Huaiji for the first time!

Let’s talk about the second eunuch in the play——Zhang Maoze. Zhang Mao, played by Ye Zuxin, is the most loyal chamberlain around the emperor. Likewise, he is also the most reassuring right-hand man around the empress.

After watching the costume drama "Qing Ping Le", I really admire the director's vicious vision in selecting people, whether it is Song Renzong Wang Kai, Empress Cao Jiang Shuying, Empress Dowager Wu Yue, Princess Ren Min, or eunuchs Both Bian Cheng and Ye Zuxin satisfied the audience's fantasy of character creation to a great extent.

If Liang Huaiji is a rare clear figure in the palace, then Zhang Maoze must be a beautiful jade flawless one.

Perhaps the audience thinks that the image of eunuchs in film and television dramas began to change from "Qing Ping Le", then let me tell you, Li Yu in "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace" is the pioneer who truly subverts the image of eunuchs in traditional film and television dramas who.

The eunuch Li Yu, played by Huang Youming, is indeed a dazzling presence in the female drama "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace". Because there are too many concubines in the play, all the male actors in the play become A delicious pastry. While everyone was obsessed with the emperor and Ling Yunche, little did they know that the eunuch Li Yu was the most soulful character in the show.

In addition to Li Yu’s charisma of being loyal to the emperor and the empress, the most important thing must be that, like Liang Huaiji, his outstanding handsome appearance made the role of the eunuch shine in this drama.

Pushing back a little further, when Hong Kong films became popular in the mainland, all aspects of film and television production were only in their infancy. As for ultra-high-tech makeup, the use of AI technology, and the aesthetic appreciation of artistic levels , are still stuck in the time and space nodes of the last century.

But it was in this era of entertainment where supplies were scarce that the costume chivalrous drama "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" was born. With the popularity of this drama, the character Yu Huatian, the eunuch of the East Factory played by Chen Kun, has also been sealed at the pinnacle of the character forever.

It is said that they like Yu Huatian because of his feminine character. It is better to say that she is fascinated by Chen Kun's beautiful and handsome appearance. Indeed, the character Yuhuatian can be regarded as a milestone masterpiece in Chen Kun's acting career, from the past to the present, and from the present to the future.

Looking at it this way, is Yuhuatian or Li Yu’s ancestor? The pioneer who overturned the traditional image of eunuchs should be Mr. Chen Kun’s Yuhuatian. The title of “Eastern Factory Flower” is not for nothing!

There have been too many historical dramas and costume dramas throughout the ages, in which the image of eunuchs is an indispensable role. It is like saying that you can not have the ministers of kings and ministers, and you can not have the three palaces and six courtyards, but You must have the eunuch character. If the emperor and his wife were married to each other, and there were no eunuchs around them, no matter how sophisticated the script was, it would be destined to miss the word "excellent", not to mention that it would challenge traditional Chinese taboo thoughts.

Looking at the development history of Chinese-language film and television over the past few years, the changes in the image of eunuchs on the screen are also a drastic reform of art in the country, and at the same time, they are also subtly conveying the signal of civilization and progress. Facts have proved that it is not that the acceptance of Chinese people has been relaxed, but that the aesthetics of the art group in the general environment have improved and the audience has become larger.

The eunuchs of the past looked like this:

The eunuchs of today look like this:

The development of anything must be a long process, and the image of eunuchs in film and television works is The change is a good breakthrough, so please have more confidence in domestic production!
