So the audience saw a series of characters who painted blushes, put on lipstick, wore beards, tied their hair and called themselves men in men's clothes.
In Jian 'an Biography, Kiku not only cheated the gate guards, but also successfully entered the military camp through conscription.
When she was exposed as a woman with red lips and white teeth and misty peach blossom makeup, she naively asked herself how she knew she was a woman.
The audience in front of the screen can't answer, maybe Huang Canichiro feels the same way with her.
In "The Splendid Never Ended", Tang Yan scalded instant noodles, left bangs, pasted two beards, and became an exaggerated man.
No matter how feminine their appearance and behavior are, anyway, the men will definitely not see it at first, until one day they accidentally bump into the woman who is dressing, touching her body or losing her hair.
They suddenly realized, ah, so you are a woman!
If the man doesn't reveal it, the audience really can't see it.
There are too many such examples, so I won't list them one by one. The audience is numb.
In the previous TV series, the cross-talk characters were all qualified, and some even went to the point of confusing the real with the fake. For example, when watching The Legend of the New White Snake in the 1990s, who knew that Cecilia Yip, the hero of Xu Xian, was a woman?
Brigitte Lin has appeared in more than 100 film and television works, and has played many roles. In the play, she is always full of heroism, domineering and unpretentious.
Dong Fangbubai in the Jianghu is androgynous, with charming women's clothes and various amorous feelings, as well as aggressive men's clothes, all of which are brilliant.
Today, let's take a look at other clever anti-string characters.
0 1, Lotus for hegemony, with Tarantoya as Bai Yuchuan.
Twenty-nine years ago, a movie "Lotus for hegemony" made Tarentoya a goddess of World War I, and it was really difficult to tell the difference between men and women in her cross-dressing Bai Yuchuan. Today, many viewers think that Tarentoya is a reverse ceiling.
In the play, Bai Yuchuan, played by her, seems to be an elegant and gentle son in white, but behind her, she is ruthless and has no authority.
Tarantoya's makeup is delicate and dignified, and her manners are not spoiled at all. She is brave, decisive and full of masculinity. In addition, her voice was voiced by a male voice at that time, so the audience did not know that it was played by an actress.
It was not until she appeared as a female character Duan Susu in the play that the audience was shocked.
She can play the male role seamlessly, and she also plays other female roles in the play. She can switch between male roles and female roles freely, and her acting skills are quite good.
Tarantoya became an instant hit in China with this play, but she developed in Singapore at that time. This role didn't make her famous in Singapore, but she still took a small role.
Although his acting skills are not bad, he has been short of resources. 1999, she officially quit the entertainment circle to get married and have children. After retirement, she doesn't want to be interviewed by any media.
There is not much news about her, but with a role, the audience can still miss her.
02. Liu Yupu plays Zhao Min in "Eternal Dragon Slayer".
When it comes to Zhao Min, many people will compare the movie version of Sharla Cheung with the TV version of Alyssa Chia. Liu Yupu, a Taiwanese version of 1984, is rarely mentioned, but she was once called "the most beautiful Zhao Min".
Her cross-dressing is a combination of extravagance and heroism, and she is overbearing, as if all the characters in the original work had come out, and even Liu Dekai, the leading actor in the play, was eclipsed in front of her.
Unfortunately, Liu Yupu also retired early, leaving few works.
Liu Yupu's life was eventful. Due to depression, she died in 2009, only to be discovered three days after her death at home. It was a miserable life.
03, "Golden Peking Opera Blues", with Gai Minghui as Gao.
Speaking of TVB's famous drag actress, Gai Minghui must be on the list. Besides, she is also a very famous actress in Cantonese opera circle.
Whether it is a vigorous male voice or a high-pitched female voice, she can switch at will and is a rare female screenwriter in Cantonese opera circle.
Because Gai Minghui often plays cross-dressing in Cantonese opera, her unique temperament and appearance attracted high-level people, so she was invited to play the high part in the Beijing Opera blues.
Her performance was very successful, which made her famous and the film contract came with it. Later, he appeared in Linghuxi in Half Life and Long Yangjun in Qin Xun Ji, with extraordinary temperament.
Although everyone knows that she is a woman, the audience has no feeling at all about the play.
Gai Minghui plays Guanyin Bodhisattva in the TVB version of Journey to the West II. He is dignified and atmospheric, and has the temperament of a bodhisattva.
04, "Zhong Wuyan", Anita Mui plays Qi Xuanwang.
In the movie Zhong Wuyan, Anita Mui plays the lives of three women, Qi Xuanwang, Sammi Cheng and Cecilia Cheung.
Qi Xuanwang is a scum man who loves beauty. If something happens, she will ask Zhong Wuyan to solve it. If nothing happens, she will be kicked aside to play with Xia Yingchun. She is a bad king and love rat.
As a comedy, Anita Mui's performance is very grandiose, without the majesty of the emperor, but a little more heroic and lovely, which also makes this Qi Xuanwang and this love rat feel no contradiction.
This isn't the first time that Anita Mui has been cross-dressing. As early as in the movie "Shinji thimble", she disguised as a man.
All the above are relatively old, and there are many small flowers among the new generation of actors. Although it is not as good as its predecessors, it also embodies the essence.
05, "My little girl never leaves", Xing En plays Mo Ruofei.
My Little Girl Never Give Up is an online drama starring Ariel Lin and Wen. At that time, when I was chasing the drama, I didn't recognize that Mo Ruofei played by Xing En was a woman.
Although I can see a little feminine, I thought it was because of makeup. After all, many young actors are almost like this after makeup, and he plays a male role, so it is basically invisible.
This is not the first time that Xing En has strung together. As early as a few years ago, she strung together the disciples of Shushan in the fairy sword, strung together the corner of Xie Feng in my little girl's skirt.
Xing En looks tough and masculine, and the company she signed up for arranged a cross-dressing role for her according to her appearance characteristics. It turns out that the effect is still good, because it is masculine, and if you take the flower route, it may not break out.
It's important to find the right way to play.
Xing En's dress in life is also neutral and her temperament is cold.
06. The Joy of Life and Liu Meitong play peas.
In Joy of Life, Zhan Doudou is the son of heaven in the Northern Qi Dynasty. Although she is a daughter, her identity was hidden when she was born, and she was raised as a son and a son of heaven. No one knows her real gender except those who are very close to her.
In the play, she is cold and heartless, giving people an inscrutable feeling, which is in line with the identity of the son of heaven.
But it also makes people feel androgynous, saying that she is a masculine daughter, saying that he is a man, and her daughter is still somewhat gentle. This beautiful but not feminine texture is also related to the identity in the play.
Liu Meitong's appearance is still relatively soft and her image is beautiful. She plays a female role, almost two people, which is very different.
07, "The Prince among Girls", You Jingru plays Han Eleventh.
Similar to Zhan Doudou in Happy Life, Han Eleventh played by You Jingru is also a daughter who was raised as a boy.
The high brow bone and knife-shaped eyebrows, from the outside, really look like a young and ignorant boy.
Frame with the hero Jiang Zu and put Jiang Zu down.
If you hadn't read the following story, you really thought he was a young man.
Later, I searched the female stills of other plays in You Jingru, which was quite shocking. The charming and enchanting weasel essence in the legend of Qingshan Fox is actually played by her, which is quite different.
You Jingru has a small face, but her facial features are great. In particular, her nose is wider, her eyebrows are heavier, there is a kind of heroic spirit between her eyebrows and eyes, and her male characteristics are stronger, so she has an advantage in playing male roles.
Her acting is not bad, and the audience as a whole can't play.
She is elegant and beautiful in modern style.
The following two actresses are not cross-dressing, but they are both very graceful actresses, one is Jiang Luxia and the other is Ethan.
Operation Red Sea made Jiang Luxia win the favor of countless audiences.
As the only woman in the team, thomas lee played by Jiang Luxia is not a vase, nor does she drag her feet, leaving an inch board and a group of boys to shuttle through the bullets.
Even the only hand-to-hand combat scene in the movie was made by her.
A martial arts actress, who had been filming for many years before Operation Red Sea became popular, remained unknown until Operation Red Sea became popular, and the audience discovered this treasure actress.
When she became popular, she didn't bring the "general assault" staff. She was very popular a few years ago. Judging from her strength and appearance, no one is more suitable than her.
But she has always been very low-key, shooting all the plays that suit her.
In 2022, Jiang Luxia and Yang Yang starred in The Glory of Special Operations, in which she played Guo Xiaoxiao, the "female soldier king" who was more masculine than men.
The audience is used to Jiang Luxia's inchboard style. In fact, she had long hair before, and she was also very delicate in feminine dress.
In "The Longest Day in Chang 'an", Ethan, the actor of "Fish Intestine", also makes people feel Albert Nobbs. In the original novel, the author did not explain the sex of the fish intestines, but only said that he was vindictive and ruthless.
In the play, the fish intestines are long and domineering, and the audience treats him as a man, both in character and appearance.
In the play, he has many scenes, clean and neat movements, full of strength, and quiet and emotional people.
In addition, Li Yuan also appeared in Ding Chu of Albert Norbert in Embroidered Spring Knife: Shura Battlefield, and there were also many martial arts moves.
Ethan is not a professional actor, but a model before acting. After acting, the orientation is not neutral, and various styles have been tried.
However, the images of these two dramas are quite subversive, from beautiful women to killers living on the cutting edge.
Modern modeling is very heroic.
Some netizens said that her eyebrows and eyes are a bit like John Lone's.
Now the audience is voicing that the domestic drama "Men Dress as Women" is too perfunctory.
I think, besides being a pot made of makeup, an actor is essentially unwilling to try to figure out and study men's behavior habits, unwilling to get rid of the idol burden, and just want to be beautiful all the time.
Walking, sitting, and behaving are still completely the state of the daughter's body, and the performance is still silly and sweet, telling the audience how to get into the show.
In addition, I think that the ancient doll man is so ugly, it is better to let these new generation florets who play the role of men go to make a guest appearance, which is much more pleasing to the eye than the ugly man of the ancient doll.
