《The Last Cook》Ji Lingchen plays the bodyguard

《The Last Cook》 In the days after it was aired, there are contents and videos about it on Douyin, Weibo, Bilibili and other places, especially《The Last Cook》 Ji Lingchen plays the bodyguard.It has been discussed the most by the audience recently, so today I will chat with my friends.

Just as the fierce battle between - Qing Yu Nian 2 - and - the fox demon matchmaker - is going on on the screen, a drama that has been dusted for four years has quietly unveiled its mystery and is ready to meet the general audience, that is -——-The Last Cook--!

Just from the title of the play, you can roughly guess that the play revolves around the story of the last emperor of the Qing Dynasty, Puyi. It tells the story of the protagonist Rong'er who entered the palace as a maid, and the ups and downs of his fate in the torrent of history.

The historical depth contained in the play is exciting. However, the image setting of the two protagonists seems too greasy, which is far from the richness of the play itself.The character played by Ji Lingchen seemed too artificial, while Hai Lu's appearance was slightly old-fashioned, which had a certain impact on the audience's visual experience.

Ji Lingchen plays the role of a bodyguard in this drama. This may be due to the popularity he accumulated in the Infinite Transcendence Class, which allowed The Last Cook to be seen again.However, this drama, which has been backlogged for many years, may not be able to satisfy the tastes of modern audiences in terms of plot design and aesthetic orientation.

Ji Lingchen's hairstyle in the play is particularly eye-catching. Although the background is set in the Qing Dynasty, he appears with a three-quarter hairstyle that is beyond the era, as if he has traveled through time and space, indicating some kind of advanced fashion consciousness.Although the look in the trailer was officially revealed, it is a little regrettable due to the blurring of the hairline and suspected traces of a wig. We can't help but hope that the styling team can be more meticulous.

The camera zoomed in, and Ji Lingchen's greasy hairstyle and overly curly hair all diminished his appearance. Coupled with the thick dark circles under his eyes and the inadvertent eye roll, his image as a leading actor was greatly compromised.His controversial mouth shape problem in "Infinite Transcendence" is still prominent in this drama. Instead of adding cuteness, his frequent cuteness seems inappropriate and affects the viewing experience.

The audience still remembered Ji Lingchen's stiff performance in costume in "Infinite Transcendence Class", so they naturally had reservations about his acting skills in this drama, and many people chose to give up watching it.But there are also a few viewers who remain optimistic and decide to find out with the mentality that there may be an unexpected surprise.

However, the real highlight of The Last Cook is not Ji Lingchen alone. The heroine Hai Lu's appearance is equally astonishing.

Hailu's image design in the play has been controversial from the beginning. The short and flat bangs before entering the palace not only did not add beauty, but seemed abrupt and incompatible with the character's identity.Although there are many similar exaggerated looks in previous Qing palace dramas, and the audience can still reluctantly accept them, the new and exquisite pink dress worn by Hailu is in sharp contrast with her father's shabby clothes. The contradiction in this setting cannot help butConfusing the audience: Is this family poor or rich?Why do poor people dress their children in such fine clothes, and why do rich people need to sell their daughters into slavery?This series of questions instantly makes the plot full of suspense.

After entering the palace, as a palace maid, Hailu's makeup and styling were even more conspicuous and unsatisfactory.The medium-parted hairstyle that hugs the scalp and the overly greasy visual effect not only fail to beautify the character, but instead look old-fashioned and seriously inconsistent with her actual age.

Hailu's bright and dazzling lip color, as if it has swallowed the innocence of a child, has become the focus that the audience cannot ignore, making her performance in the play extraordinarily out of place, as if she is out of tune with the plot.Compared with the simple makeup of the surrounding maids, her flaming red lips, which deliberately emphasize the protagonist's status, appear particularly abrupt in the eyes of the audience. It seems to reveal that the makeup artist has worked hard, but it is a bit too hard.

The shortcomings of her makeup are just the tip of the iceberg. Hailu's appearance is contrary to the slim and delicate pursuit of contemporary aesthetics, and this makeup design magnifies her shortcomings. The plump contours of her chin and side face are invisible to the camera., almost obliterating the jaw line, making people think of the luxury of life in the palace rather than the hardships.

The beautiful, natural and harmonious images of land and sea in the poster are in sharp contrast with the actual presentation in the play, causing many viewers to say they have been deceived, as if this is a carefully laid out visual trap designed to attract the audience into the game.

However, in the prison scene, Hai Lu got rid of his previous poor makeup. His simple hairstyle and unsculpted face unexpectedly revealed a bit of elegance. Unfortunately, the prison clothes were still too neat and incompatible with the harshness of the situation..In contrast, the costumes in the torture scenes during the Qianlong period in the play are more sophisticated, and the rough texture is closer to historical reality, which makes people wonder about the improvement of prison conditions in the late Qing Dynasty.

“Rong'er”, played by Hai Lu, has a strange appearance, but his life experience is very legendary.She was sold into the palace by her father during the Republic of China, and was immediately involved in a complex emotional entanglement with the imperial guard Li Qi.This kind of plot can't help but remind people of the classic character “Ziwei”. It seems that the indissoluble bond with the guards has become the fate of the palace women.

In 《The Last Cook》, the relationship between Rong'er and the emperor at the peak of his imperial power cannot escape the emotional ties. Following the thread of many popular stories, the emperor finds spiritual solace in Rong'er's trivial words.When Rong'er didn't know the identity of the other party, she even had the idea of ​​​​escaping with Jun. However, after she was captured, the truth was revealed, and she finally returned to her duties as a cook.

Corruption was rampant in the palace, and thefts were frequent. Although the emperor tried to investigate, he failed repeatedly, and even wrongly pointed the finger at Rong Er's master.To this end, Rong Er and Li Qi revealed a shocking conspiracy to smuggle national treasures. As Feng Yuxiang led his army into the palace, the history of the Forbidden City came to an end. The two also quit the palace and opened restaurants among the people, performing a rare love story in the Republic of China.

In the play, the happy ending between Ji Lingchen and Hai Lu is rare in film and television works in recent years, and the addition of many powerful actors adds a lot to the drama.Myolie Wu's reputation in "Xi Huazhi" has made her role as Princess Ronghui in "The Last Cook" highly anticipated; Zeng Li's role as Princess Duankang is a power struggle in the palace.Another focus, both of them showed extraordinary temperament and majesty.

Li Mingde challenged himself to play the role of the young emperor Puyi. His helplessness and indignation when faced with the deception by his ministers vividly interpreted the sadness of the last emperor, which was inseparable from Zhang Guoli's careful guidance.Not only did Zhang Guoli teach his acting skills in person, but his background as Kangxi and his interaction with Puyi aroused fun and ridicule among netizens and became a major topic of conversation outside the drama.

In addition, Zhang Guoli's training of other actors such as Fan Tanya has also been effective. Fan Tanya's outstanding performance in "Flowers" continued in "The Last Cook", and the role of the old grandmother she played even in the daily scenes of teasing birds., it also exudes a deterrent force that cannot be underestimated.

Wang Gang's friendly guest appearance and Xuan Lu's mysterious role have added a bit of anticipation to the series.
