This amazing picture change proves that it is precisely because of the "too exposed chest" and "too large scale" in the play that the storm of "stopping broadcasting" was triggered, so it was ordered to be revised within a time limit. Hunan Satellite TV initially responded to the "off-air" storm because of "technical" reasons. Now it seems that this is obviously a prevarication. Because the scene below the chest of Yu Ji in The Legend of Wu Mei Niang was cut off, the play was once called "the most beautiful Wu Zetian in history" when it was promoted, and now only a close-up of her face can be seen. The netizen sneered: "Isn't this a living' big photo'? It seems that the legend of Wu Meiniang will be renamed the legend of Wudatou. "
This is obviously the fault of the "flat-chested dress" when the Legend of Wu Mei Niang was broadcast, and it also caused a heated discussion among the audience because of the "topless dress" in the play. In fact, both producers and broadcasters hope that this dispute will attract the attention of the outside world, thus driving the overall increase in the ratings of this drama. Unfortunately, self-defeating, "topless" was cut out and became a "big photo".
Contrary to the aesthetic "big picture"
Wu Meiniang and his concubines are competing to burst their chests on the screen, which is really hard for many people to accept. But now they have all become "headshots". I'm afraid their images are a bit strange, at least they don't conform to the aesthetic law. What's more, the film that was cut out in a hurry in just a few days will inevitably feel fragmented. The lesson of this consequence is undoubtedly heavy.
But I'm afraid no one knows how Wu Meiniang was dressed in history. At least, the Fan Bingbing version of Wu Meiniang is significantly larger than the previous Liu Xiaoqing version. Some people say that Gong Li and other scenes in films such as "Golden Flower in the City" can also be called "chest-squeezing blockbusters". Why did it pass, but the Legend of Wu Mei Niang was ordered to be revised? Obviously, to enter the small screen of thousands of households, the censorship scale should be stricter than the big screen that needs to buy tickets to watch. The two cannot be mentioned in the same breath. After all, TV plays are suitable for all ages.
Pay a heavy price and leave a lesson.
According to some experts' research, although the Tang Dynasty was the most open dynasty in China's history, the large-scale clothing in The Legend of Wu Mei Niang was not in the style of the Tang Dynasty, and the neckline of Wu Meiniang was not as low as the stiff and semi-exposed neckline at that time. Yang Ji, a professor of Chinese painting at Xi Academy of Fine Arts, said: "The breasts of women in the Tang Dynasty would not be so exaggerated." Zhang Guogang, a professor in the history department of Tsinghua University, who was the president of China Tang Dynasty History Society, said that Tang costume absorbed many elements of "Hu Feng", but in the current film and television works, Tang costume was not "shirtless" or deliberately squeezed out cleavage. Ma Yong, a researcher at China Academy of Social Sciences, pointed out that the current domestic film and television dramas exaggerated the life of the ancients, but deviated from the reality of life. From this point of view, the opening of the Tang Dynasty can not be the reason why concubines of the Tang Dynasty showed their breasts on the screen.
In fact, the reason why concubines in the Tang Dynasty really became too large-scale and "bare-chested" is probably not history, but reality, which is a realistic need to improve the eyeball effect and ratings. If that's the case, it's really a pity that the lens was deleted. However, Wu Meiniang legend is said to have spent a lot of money on clothes. Fan Bingbing has more than 260 models in the play, and all the actors' costumes add up to about 3,000 sets. It is also a great waste of financial resources to be laid off this time, so that the original gorgeous but too low-cut clothing can not be fully presented. I hope this heavy effort can remind other film and television crews not to rely on "too exposed chest" and "too large scale" to impact the bottom line. The Legend of Wu Mei Niang is a lesson.
