In today’s film and television works, the theme of “women disguising themselves as men” appears frequently.
But when a female actor disguises himself as a man appears, the audience often has only one thought in their mind -
Do you take me for a fool?
With his strong "chest muscles", carefully drawn eyebrows, snow-white skin and red lips, as long as he is a human being, he would not think that he is a man, right? !
Of course, there are also some rigorous crews who have done their best to dress up as men, with hair, makeup, and clothing all perfect -
As soon as they came out in this outfit, An Can you tell whether I am male or female?
Mo Ruofei is the heir to the Mo family, one of the four major families in Beijing. He has a gentle temperament and handsome appearance. He has always taken good care of his sister Hua Buqi.
It is no exaggeration to say that when Mo Ruofei, played by Xing En, appeared on the stage, I really didn’t recognize Xiao Lizi. I just thought that Mr. Mo looked a bit feminine, and he looked special from certain angles. "Jun", but never doubted his identity as a man.
Interestingly, in one of the scenes, Mo Ruofei "disguised herself as a man and dressed up as a woman." Tall and handsome, he puts on a pink suit, which reminds people of the "dainty" Zhang Weijian back then.
But as the plot develops, Li Zi gradually discovers that Mo Ruofei is really a daughter. She wore men's clothes since childhood to protect her mother from being bullied.
Look at actor Xing En, emmm...she is also a woman!
This makes people have to admire this post-90s actress.
Xing En, who is 1.73cm tall, formerly known as Xing Yachen, studied at the School of Art and Landscape Architecture of Fujian Agriculture and Forestry University. He also joined the school basketball team during college and was a popular figure in the school.
Perhaps it was because of her appearance in this drama that Xing En found a route that suited her, and she also had a strong height advantage. After that, Xing En appeared many times with Short hair and men's clothing have appeared in film and television dramas, and they have received good responses
I remember when I was watching the TV series "Young Lovers", I waited for a long time and still didn't see the heroine appear, but there was one The slightly unsophisticated little brother attracted Li Zi's attention.
This guy has thick eyebrows, dark skin, and a small stubble on his lips. Although he has handsome features, his hair is sloppy and his clothes are rough, making him appear to be neither tall nor conspicuous.
At first, Olizi thought "he" was the male protagonist, and felt that the casting was really careless and did not look like a tall and macho man.
But after opening the barrage, I realized that she was actually the heroine Zhang Yaqin!
In many costume dramas in the past, as long as you changed into men's clothes and drew thick eyebrows, you were pretending to be a man. Some actresses still think they are not delicate enough, so they have to tighten their belts to reveal their slender and graceful waists.
But in this drama, the heroine used "yellow and black liquid foundation" to cover her delicate and fair skin; she wiped off the lipstick, revealing "chapped and pale" lips.
The most amazing thing is that the heroine did not put on a fake "two-stroke beard", but left a small black stubble on her lips. At a glance, she is a Quite a young man.
If you think Zhang Yaqin has no appearance because of this, you are totally wrong.
In the following plot, Su Yunluo, played by Zhang Yaqin, resumes women's clothing. Wash off the black and yellow liquid foundation on your face and put on exquisite women's clothes. Let's just say, is there a big contrast between the before and after? Stunning or not?
Isn’t this more contrasting than those “fake men” who tear off their hair ties and reveal their flowing long hair?
In 2020, the costume light comedy "The Prince" starring You Jingru and Jiang Chao has been on the hot search list many times. It's not because of how good the plot is, but because the show's appearance is really not confusing!
The title of the play is "The Female Crown Prince". As the name suggests, it tells the story of a female prince who disguises himself as a man. The female prince, played by You Jingru, whose real name is Han Yuanniang, because her only brother was murdered, she had to take the place of her brother Han Shiyi and protect the entire Han family.
In order to better conceal her identity, she portrayed herself as a "romantic and lustful playboy", who was ignorant and incompetent all day long, and often wandered around the land of sensuality and sensuality.
In the play, she looks thin in appearance, and her facial features are three-dimensional and somewhat sharp, so she looks like a handsome young man.
The forehead is combed, leaving no bangs, and the makeup specially emphasizes the cheekbone lines, giving the boy a tough look.
With such a look, it is hard to imagine that in the TV series "The Legend of Qingqiu Fox", she actually played the role of the charming, dominating and doting weasel concubine Yinger.
Being able to be both handsome and tough as well as charming and graceful is the strength of You Jingru. However, such an actor with good looks and acting skills announced his marriage at the end of last year.
It seems that actors without "idol baggage" like to "get married young."
In 2019, the costume time-travel drama "Celebrating More Than Years" starring Zhang Ruoyun and Li Qin achieved good broadcast results.
As a drama that gathers veteran actors such as Chen Daoming, Wu Gang, Yu Rongguang, and Liu Ye, the leading actor Zhang Ruoyun performed well, and Liu Meitong, a supporting role in the drama, also received a lot of praise.
In the play, she plays the Northern Qi Emperor Zhan Doudou.
During the storm, Zhan Doudou, who disguised herself as a man, was promoted to the throne. In the crises and difficulties, Zhan Doudou's resourcefulness and foresight were revealed. She successfully got rid of the control of the Queen Mother, took over the power and became the queen mother. A true emperor who is indistinguishable from emotion to anger.
The leader of a country is a daughter. Zhan Doudou not only has to face the battle in the inner palace, but also beware of the covetousness of the enemy country, and always pay attention to his identity not to be exposed.
Therefore, in daily battles Doudou usually appears in a majestic black dragon robe, with all her hair tied up with a crown. There is no bright lipstick or bangs swaying in the wind. This outfit makes Zhan Doudou look very heroic.
Because of "Celebrating More Than Years", actor Liu Meitong left a tough and handsome impression on Xiao Lizi.
But who would have thought that she is actually the fit, cold and arrogant Mongolian princess in "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace".
And in the new version of "The Eight Parts of the Dragon", Mu Wanqing is strong on the outside but soft on the inside, with a stunning appearance, and an incomprehensible person.
If one person can become a god because of one role, then the role that belongs to Chen Yao should be Yue Qiluo in "Wuxin Master".
But Chen Yao’s surprise was not only in the first part of "Wuxin Master", but also in the subsequent two parts, her wonderful "cross-dressing" was equally amazing.
In "Wuxin Master 2", Chen Yao plays the role of Xiao Dingmao, the young master of the gangster chamber of commerce. He is scheming in his words and deeds, and has a depth and calmness that his peers do not possess. However, he looks handsome and cannot distinguish between male and female. Very mysterious.
The little Dingmao played by Chen Yao has slightly dark skin, firm facial features, and a neatly combed back hair, making him look full of energy. He likes to wear a black dragon-patterned robe or a suit, which makes him look like a gangster.
In "Wuxin Master 3", Chen Yao plays two roles again. On one side is the weak but very scheming brother Liu Xuanhu who longs for immortality, and on the other side is the courageous and heroic sister. Liu Qingluan.
The two siblings have opposite personalities and opposite genders, but Chen Yao's acting skills perfectly control these two roles, making people not at all upset. Especially after having the acting experience in "Wuxin Master 2", Liu Xuanhu, played by Chen Yao, pays more attention to details, and even his body movements are closer to those of men.
But looking at Chen Yao's performance in "Wuxin Master", it is hard to imagine that she has also starred in the cute nine-tailed fox Hu Feiluan in "The Beauty in the Cabinet".
Let me ask you, is this contrast big? !
It is a pity that such a good actor Chen Yao, after working hard in the industry for many years, is still not valued and praised by the company. Except for "Wuxin Master" when she debuted, the resources available to her were either female supporting roles or small productions.
Some time ago, there was news that fans of Chen Yao insisted on terminating her contract with the company.
Now there is no definite news about who Chen Yao will fall into. Anyway, I still hope that the beauty will receive more attention in the future. After all, she has acting skills and good looks, and is a rare good actor.
The characters mentioned above are all characters that have only appeared in recent years, and the next one, Tarintoya, may reveal my true age, Olizi.
I wonder how many of you here have watched "Lotus Contest" starring Tarin Toya?
I won’t say much about the plot and picture quality of this TV series that first aired in 1994. After all, cultural resources were relatively scarce at that time. I watched all the TV series on TV with gusto.
But what impressed me the most about this drama was the supporting actor Bai Yuchuan——
Bai Yuchuan was originally the adopted son of the Nangong family. He was calm, calm, and highly skilled in martial arts.
But later, because Master Nangong discovered his identity as a "traitor", he was eventually chased and fell off a cliff. By chance, he unexpectedly picked up a copy of the "Sunflower Collection", so he practiced magical skills in the palace and assumed the identity of Duan Susu, the princess of Dali.
In the early stage, Bai Yuchuan was an out-and-out man. He was tall, handsome and elegant. He often wore white robes and white hairbands. Later, due to practicing martial arts, she had to identify herself as a woman.
The key to the problem is that back then, Olizi always thought that Bai Yuchuan was an actor. Later, "he" dressed in women's clothes, and I still thought "he" was a man disguised as a woman
But later I found out that the person who played Bai Yuchuan was an actress herself! It's just that the appearance and character design are very successful, so it's "fake and real"!
The actor who plays Bai Yuchuan is named Tarin Toya. She was born in Inner Mongolia, China, and later became a Singaporean. In 1990, she participated in Singapore's "Talent Rising Stars" competition and came to prominence. Later, she signed a contract with New Television and starred in the TV series "Lotus Contest".
However, in 1999, Tarintoya chose to get married, have children, and quit the entertainment industry.
Although her acting career is less than ten years, Tarintoya has played many roles with huge spans, such as Taoist nun, queen, eighth wife, doctor, lover, executive, con man, etc. All are involved.
The most important thing is that her acting skills can be retracted and switched freely, which is admirable.
Do you have any objections to putting Ye Tong last in the finale?
I wonder how many people were like me back then, thinking that Xu Xian was a "pure man"? He's just handsome and not tall, but there's no doubt about "his" gender.
Later, I learned from my parents that Xu Xian was actually an actress. It was like a "bolt from the blue" and shocking.
It must be said that the crew back then also paid great attention to Xu Xian's appearance.
Bai Suzhen, played by Zhao Yazhi, is dressed in white, which is both delicate and dignified, while Ye Tong, who matches her, is wearing a darker linen and coarse cloth. Compared with the two, one is bright and one is dark, but also Very harmonious.
Compared with Bai Suzhen's complicated hairstyle of wig bun and white gauze, Xu Xian's style is very simple. She simply tied her hair up with a plain hair tie, leaving no trace of broken hair. The ability and toughness of a young man are revealed.
And Ye Tong's acting skills are also very superb. Before filming, she carefully observed the male's walking posture and movements, and used these in the filming.
Sure enough, Ye Tong's Xu Xian "confused" many people in the end, and some people even knew her identity as an actress many years later.
Ye Tong, who was born in 1963, first debuted as an advertising model. When she was young, she had delicate and elegant features, flowing curly hair, and a pair of naturally bright "smiling eyes."
Before she played Xu Xian in "The Legend of White Snake", almost no one associated Ye Tong with "men". She played roles including a delicate eldest lady, a charming girl, and a chivalrous one. Heart-warming heroine.
It was not until "The Legend of White Snake" was broadcast in 1992 that the audience was surprised to discover that Ye Tong had such a handsome side.
This is a good actor, he can switch between various roles easily and effortlessly!
Conclusion:
Maybe some actors will defend themselves: Who made me look pretty, but I just don’t look like a boy.
But which of the above actors is not pretty and pretty in real life?
The key to the problem is never whether they look alike, but whether the actors and crew are attentive and meticulous.
Now that I’m dressing up as a man, shouldn’t I get rid of those long, curved false eyelashes, soft and thin air bangs, fair and shy blush, and pink and rosy lipstick?
Nowadays, some production crews really put the word "fooling" on their faces. I wonder if the "fake man" feels pain in the face after comparing the above actors who are disguised as men?
